He finally knows why most of these old-moneys in Europe are not doing well now, especially those nobles who have inherited titles since the 17th and 18th centuries, and today they are almost all on their own. One of the most fundamental reasons is that They are too particular and too comfortable.

Wealth owners in the new era place the greatest emphasis on efficiency. Take Li Mu himself as an example. Even if he has reached the point of being very rich, he has never been as particular about it as the European aristocrats. One and a half hours for breakfast and two hours for lunch. , If you have a French dinner for dinner, it will take at least two or three hours before and after. If a group of nobles get together for dinner, it is normal to eat a meal for five hours.

These people are very similar to the literati poets in ancient China. They recite poems and write poems every day, spend most of their time and energy on their own unique way of life, but most of these people are lacking in creating wealth and creating careers.

In Li Mu's eyes, a royal family like William did not really have any advantages that he could appreciate. These people were very gentlemen in their speech and manners. On the surface, it is at most a skill rather than an ability. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to show his sincere surprise and incomprehension when he hears that he does not need to rely on twitter to make money.

If it is Elon Musk, needless to say, he should also understand that if it is Larry Page, the same is true. Although Mark Zuckerberg is young and still very immature, his thinking mode is ahead of his time. , even more than everyone in the Goldberg family, and all the European nobles who attended this salon party.

Li Mu suddenly missed Bill Gates a little bit. Although Bill Gates even wanted to take out Muye Technology in his heart, at least he was the one who really had a common language with him.

Thinking of Bill Gates, Li Mu looked around. There was no Bill Gates in the restaurant. The big brother was the richest man in the world. The Goldberg family definitely couldn't arrange him to go to the banquet hall to eat with most of the guests, right? Then why didn't you see him?

Immediately, Li Mu asked William, "William, have you seen Mr. Bill Gates today?"

William shook his head and said, "I didn't see it, what's the matter? Are you looking for Mr. Gates?"

"It's alright, just asking." Li Mu responded, and couldn't help but wonder.

At this time, Davidson just walked in with several members of the Middle Eastern royal family, and Li Mu waved to him. Davidson hurriedly greeted several members of the Middle Eastern royal family, and then came to Li Mu and asked with a smile: "Li Mu Sir, does breakfast still suit your appetite?"

"Very good." Li Mu smiled and asked him, "By the way, why haven't I seen Mr. Bill Gates?"

Davidson asked with a smile, "Mr. Li doesn't know yet?"

Li Mu was puzzled: "Know what?"

Davidson laughed: "Mr. Gates is back in America."

"Returning to the United States?" Li Mu was even more surprised: "You just came here, why did you leave? When did you leave?"

"Last night." Davidson thought about it and said, "It should have been a temporary decision to go back shortly after Twitter went live. It should be in Seattle by now."

Li Mu was stunned, good guy, are you leaving now?

Li Mu sighed helplessly, what is this old man doing in such a hurry to go back? Want to regroup and continue to push msn?

As soon as twitter goes online,

Even if msn has great ability, it is impossible to bring down yy. Bill Gates should know this.

Then he went back in a hurry, could it be that he couldn't hang on to his face?

This is possible. After all, he was full of confidence before. He always felt that the new msn ecology would bring a huge threat to yy, and even took the initiative to provoke and demonstrate to himself, but he did not expect that the msn ecology carefully built by Microsoft would be so vulnerable.

Davidson said at this time: "Mr. Li, Prince Walid of Saudi Arabia wants to invite you to play a game of golf. I wonder if you have time?"

"Prince of Saudi Arabia?" Li Mu frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked at several Middle Eastern guests wearing red and white checkered headscarves. One of the young men saw Li Mu looking over and raised his hand to Li Mu with a smile.

"That's Prince Waleed," Davidson said.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Thank you for his kindness for me, but I don't know how to play golf, so I won't be able to accompany him."

Davidson nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him later."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "By the way, Davidson, regarding the Manchester City club, the trouble is as fast as possible. The sooner the better, it's better to get it done before I leave the UK."

Davidson was in a bit of trouble all of a sudden. The acquisition of a club is at least a huge deal worth tens of millions of pounds. Under normal circumstances, even if the two parties can negotiate the price issue, the follow-up financial audit and handover will take a long time. Buying a club in just a few days is extremely unlikely.

Seeing that Davidson didn't speak, and his expression was a bit tangled, Li Mu said: "Davidson, you don't need to think too much about trivialities, since they intend to take action themselves, then I can take over at 110% of the market price and give them an additional 10% premium. , if they agree to this offer, then I can pay immediately. As for the financial audit, we can first take the data on their books as the basis, ask them to make a written commitment, and then take it slow. Such a big club should be financially There will not be too much deviation, and even if there is a deviation, you can be held accountable according to the agreement at that time.”

Davidson knows that Li Mu is very efficient in doing things. If he delays this matter for another month or two, then in the future, he wants Li Mu to cooperate with HSBC and let HSBC take the lead as the lead underwriter of Muye Technology IPO.

So Davidson nodded and said, "I will arrange this today, and try to get them to sign a framework agreement with me as soon as possible."

...

After breakfast, Wendy Goldberg returned to the restaurant and offered to accompany Li Mu, Prince William and Anne Hathaway to visit the Goldberg Manor. Li Mu did not refuse. In his opinion, he had nothing in common with the old-money and the royal family. It's better to be a tourist and go around and gain insight.

While Li Mu was visiting Goldberg Manor, Davidson called his eldest son, William Goldberg, to his study.

Facing William Goldberg, Davidson's first words were earth-shattering. He said, "William, when you go to Manchester, you must buy Manchester City Club."

"Buy Manchester City?" William Goldberg was stunned and said in surprise: "Dad, the Macmillan family is the majority shareholder of Manchester United, are you trying to confront them?"

Davidson waved his hand and said, "I bought Manchester City to give it to Li Mu as a gift."

"For Li Mu? Dad, is this gift too expensive?" William Goldberg couldn't understand it. He couldn't understand why Dad gave Li Mu a football club? Not to mention that this "gift" is somewhat unconventional, and the cost alone is a bit outrageous.

From the royal family to the commoners, the British love football, and they have a very good understanding of domestic football clubs. William Goldberg is the same. He knows the current situation of Manchester City very well, and he also knows the approximate price of Manchester City. He wants to buy this club. , the acquisition cost alone would cost 70 to 80 million pounds, or even higher. Even if he wanted to win over Li Mu, there was absolutely no need to make such a big sacrifice, right?

Davidson shook his head and said: "We have made predictions before that if Muye Technology IPO, the market value will be at least about 200 billion US dollars, but the twitter thing has become popular all over the world, so that the media in various countries around the world are all over the world. According to reports, this development speed is terrible. If Li Mu is given another half a year and twitter is the help, the market value of the Makino IPO will continue to rise. Therefore, the Makino IPO should be the largest IPO in the history of Nasdaq. And in the next few years, this record is unlikely to be surpassed.”

Having said that, Davidson added: "If Muye Technology plans to use 10% of its shares to raise funds, then this is a scale of more than 20 billion US dollars. If we can eat half of it, the direct profit alone will be almost one billion. US dollars, not to mention the potential profit, if we can be the lead bank and get the lead underwriting rights, it will greatly enhance the customer's recognition of us, and the added value behind it is immeasurable, so in any case, we must talk to Li Mu. Make a good relationship, Li Mu happens to be very interested in the Premier League club, then we might as well give him a big favor."

William Goldberg took a deep breath and said, "I see."

Davidson said: "Li Mu is in a hurry, so after you arrive in Manchester, try to push the pace of negotiation with Manchester City's shareholders faster, even if you spend a little more money, let these people nod as soon as possible, as long as they do not agree with the offer. We will immediately sign an agreement with them, and then make a payment, and try to get it done within five days.”

"Five days?" William Goldberg was even more surprised. How could such a big thing be done in five days? Fifty days is almost the same.

Davidson said beyond doubt: "The situation is special, so everything must be based on time. The sooner we win Manchester City, the better it will be for us to get closer to Li Mu. If you miss this opportunity, think about it next time. But it's not that easy."

William Goldberg immediately said sternly: "I understand Dad, then I am ready to set off as soon as possible."

Davidson nodded, and then said again: "There is one more thing."

William Goldberg hurriedly said, "Dad, please."

Davidson said: "Tell Wendy that the real peak of her life is not in herself, nor in us, but in Li Mu, let her find a way to get closer to Li Mu, and prepare to go to Huaxia for graduate school as soon as possible. The matter must not wait until the end of the year, otherwise, judging from Li Mu's work and life rhythm, by the end of the year, he will almost forget Wendy!" 2k Novel Reading Network
