On November 20, the winter sunshine shone on the street in front of the Seattle hotel, the cold wind blew, and a plastic bag flew in the air.
Zhang Tianmei was wearing an OL outfit and a woolen coat, standing at the door, looking at Wang Ben who was like a piece of wood from the corner of her eye.
"Awaited."
Lu Fei strode out of the hotel, wiping the crumbs from his mouth.
Zhang Tianmei introduced herself appropriately, "Mr. Lu, I am the temporary translator and secretary assigned to you by Mr. Guo..."
Lu Fei shook hands with her and said, "Let's go to the shores of Lake Washington in Medina District."
On the shores of Lake Washington! ?
Zhang Tianmei immediately thought of the house of the future built by Bill Gates for $97 million, no, no?
As she expected, the lakeside villa built on the mountain facing the lake covers an area of more than 6,000 square meters, with endless trees and lush vegetation as far as the eye can see, and the security inspection process is extremely complicated and strict.
Lu Fei opened his arms, and the security personnel put something similar to a brooch on his chest while explaining that this was a device transmitted to the central computer, which could change the light, temperature, and color tone of the room in real time because of him.
"Mr. Lu, he said that bodyguards can't go in and can rest in the small courtyard next to it." Zhang Tianmei suppressed her excitement.
"Okay."
Lu Fei nodded and entered the villa with a gift in one hand.
The housekeeper was already standing respectfully at the door, leading the two of them to the magnificent guest hall, surrounded by curved glass walls, where dolphins, arapaima and other fish were swimming.
"Zizzizi."
Lu Fei said, "America is indeed a paradise for evil capitalists. If you have money, you can do whatever you want. No wonder all the money goes to America."
"Hey, Lu."
Bill Gates was wearing a gray sweater and blue jeans, and his wife Melinda was by his side.
The two of them looked like a model couple with smiles on their faces.
Pretend, you can really pretend.
Lu Fei chuckled to himself, and after a polite greeting, he handed the Maotai wine over, "This is a fine wine from China, equivalent to Lafite in wine."
"Rierli? Let's try it during the meal."
Melinda prepared lunch and left. M..coM
"And this." Lu Fei took out 2 boxes of beautifully packaged lmusic.
"Lu, is this the MP3 you were talking about last time?" Bill Gates was very curious.
"Yeah~"
Lu Fei sat leisurely on the leather sofa.
Bill Gates turned the packaging box over and over, and saw the appearance of lmusic printed on the front. He couldn't help but be surprised. This design, simple and exquisite, was not inferior to Apple.
"Can I take it apart now and take a look?"
"Of course, you will like it."
When Bill Gates opened the package and saw the real machine, he all agreed with Lu Fei's words.
"It's so beautiful." He was surprised while playing with the mp3, "This roulette wheel is a bit like the second generation iPod."
Lu Fei raised his head and said: "No, the iPod only has pressing function, while lMusic supports pressing and sliding. It is more technological and smoother."
Bill Gates laughed and said: "Jobs didn't think so. He would say, 'You are stealing Apple's stuff.'"
"Gates, Steve Jobs and I both had a wealthy neighbor named Walkman."
Lu Fei shrugged, his tone full of indifference.
"Haha, yes, yes!"
Bill Gates' nose trembled with joy and his glasses flew up and down.
These words are all too familiar, he said them himself.
At that time, Apple launched the first personal computer that combined a graphical user interface and a mouse, the Apple Lisa. It didn't take long for Microsoft to come up with a similar Windows 1.0, which made Jobs angry and cursed "plagiarism."
"You and Steve Jobs are neighbors, and Steve Jobs and I are neighbors. We both have a wealthy neighbor named Xerox."
"So, we're neighbors?"
Lu Fei raised his lips and talked about the love-hate relationship between Microsoft and Apple, secretly revealing that lmusic sided with Microsoft.
"Of course, Lu."
Bill Gates was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at the MP3 player with a smile, "You seem to be very confident in competing with Steve Jobs' iPod?"
"It's not Wai Rui, it's Wai Rui Wai Rui Wai Rui."
Lu Fei folded his legs and assumed a comfortable position, "In my opinion, when it comes to iPods, we lmusic have 10 wins and 10 losses."
"10 wins and 10 losses?" Bill Gates was very interested.
"First, technical advantages. iPod uses a microhard drive, and lmusic is the world's first NADA flash memory MP3 player."
Lu Fei stretched out the first finger, and then the second one, "Second, the price advantage. The cheapest model of iPod costs 399 US dollars, and the most expensive model of lmusic only costs 299 US dollars. The reason why mp3 has not appeared in hundreds of dollars For a machine with a sales volume of 10,000 units, the key point is that the pricing is not user-friendly..."
Bill Gates slid the MP3 roulette wheel, listened to three, four, five and six, and cast approving glances frequently.
"Eight, supply chain advantages... Ninth, labor advantages. The labor costs, production capacity, etc. of Foxconn, which cooperates with iPod, are not as good as BYD, which has reached a strategic cooperation with us."
Lu Fei came to an international retreat and said, "Logic wins 9 and Apple loses 9. The advantage is mine!"
Bill Gates heard this and let out a light sigh, "Lu, is there still one victory and one defeat?"
"Winning or losing depends on Microsoft and Gates." Lu Fei complimented.
Bill Gates was completely convinced and wanted to discuss with him immediately how to jointly attack Apple and destroy Jobs's dream of revival.

Suddenly, a huge whale shark appeared, and the shrimp and fish around him were frightened and fled away.
"It is indeed Wairui Wairui Ruigude."
Bill Gates took a sip of ice water to cool down his heated brain.
"But Lu, I'm sorry, although I'm still on the board of directors, Ballmer is now the boss of Microsoft."
Lu Fei rolled his eyes calmly, I believe you!
At the beginning of the millennium, because Microsoft was involved in antitrust issues, Bill Gates was forced to retreat behind the scenes. Of course, it was also sexual harassment. He had to avoid the limelight and continue to control Ballmer, both overt and covert.
He saw through it without saying anything: "Can you help me make an appointment with Ballmer in the next few days?"
"That's no problem!" Bill Gates readily agreed.
Zhang Tianmei was surprised at first, and then excitedly translated to Lu Fei. At this moment, Melinda came over in person:
"Lu, Darling, it's time to serve."
…………
Bill Gates is a family of four. Their two children are too young to sit at the table. There are only four people on the round table: Bill Gates, his wife, Lu Fei and Zhang Tianmei.
Serve the food according to formal Western food procedures.
Lu Fei felt quite suffocated, but he restrained himself and drank the soup with a spoon, the classic cream of mushroom soup.
While drinking, we chatted, but deliberately avoided lmusic. We talked from IT to the Internet, and from the Internet to charity. Unknowingly, when it was the turn of the main meal to be served, "The World Is Flat" came up.
"Lu, you predicted in your book that the American economy will recover from the Internet bubble next year."
Bill Gates said calmly: "I feel very suspenseful."
"Oh, really?" Lu Fei pretended to be surprised.
Bill Gates nodded and said that American business was terrible. Some large companies collapsed and the economy was in a sluggish state.
"The worst thing is that the Donkey Party was defeated miserably in the midterm elections, and the Elephant Party gained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. President Dabuliao doesn't understand economics. He only knows war. Lu, do you think there will be a war in Iraq?"
"Ding ding."
Melinda tapped the side of the glass with a spoon and interrupted: "Let's drink a toast to world peace."
"Cheers!" Lu Fei picked up the cup containing Moutai.
Bill Gates clinked glasses with him, looked at the white syrupy Moutai with wonder, and took a gentle sniff. The smell was indescribable in words.
"Lu, what does this smell like?"
"This is called sauce-flavor type." Lu Fei took a sip of liquor.
Bill Gates took a look, and he followed the same example. He also took a bite, and his throat suddenly felt hot, as if he had swallowed chili pepper, and his face immediately turned red.
"Ahem, Ohmygod, ahem..."
"How's this wine?" Lu Fei chuckled.
Bill Gates thought about it carefully: "It's stronger than vodka, emm, but sweeter and has a fruity taste, which is not bad."
"If your words are reported to China, it will definitely be good for Moutai."
Lu Feile said, "I happen to have some Moutai shares in my hand."
"Lu, are you still trading stocks?" Melinda asked curiously.
"In China, they all call me China Buffett." Lu Fei was half-joking.
Zhang Tianmei almost spit out the wine. Although she is not involved in the financial circle, Lu Xiaoji's reputation as the "chicken thief king" in the investment world is still very loud and clear.
Bill Gates frowned: "So Lu, are there any stocks that you are interested in recently?"
"Oil stocks." Lu Fei blurted out.
"Oil stocks? Sure enough, you think there will be a war."
Bill Gates understood instantly, and immediately made Melinda unhappy. He glanced at her and said, "Don't discuss war at this holy lunch."
"Saori." Lu Fei said.
In an instant, there was a brief silence at the dinner table, and then the two of them changed the topic and chatted until the end of the luncheon.
After the banquet and everyone dispersed, Lu Fei got what he wanted and left satisfied.
With a smile on her face, Melinda and Bill Gates personally sent the guests out of the villa. The moment the door clicked, the smile disappeared and her face immediately became gloomy.
Love in front of others, but coldness behind others.
Bill Gates has long been used to it. The two of them turned in different directions. He walked straight to the study. Along the way, he was thinking about Lu Fei, who claimed to be China's Buffett, and his oil stocks.
China’s Buffett, right?
He stood with his arms crossed for a while, then picked up the phone and called the real Buffett. They had been friends for many years, and Buffett took him to trade stocks. His foundation also had Buffett's tens of billions, in name only.
"Oil stocks?" Buffett asked on the phone.
"Yes." Bill Gates then asked about the prospects of oil stocks.
"You and I have an idea."
Buffett exclaimed, "I have been researching oil stocks recently, and I have taken a fancy to a Chinese stock called PetroChina. My suggestion is to hold it."
Bill Gates was stunned. Was he really right? !
"Gates, how did you come up with the idea of oil stocks?"
"Remember the Huaxia Lu I mentioned to you? He said he was Huaxia Buffett."
"That Huaxia Land?"
Buffett pondered for a while, "Maybe he is."
"What?"
Bill Gates couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard that the stock price of NetEase held by Lu Fei soared from 1 US dollar to 13 US dollars, and Amazon, New Wolf, etc. had impressive results.
It's China's Bill Gates again, and it's Buffett again. Why the hell is he no longer the whole China's Steve Jobs?
