Not to mention anything else, for example, Bill Gates, everyone knows that this guy bought a full 5 acres of land in Seattle, a place where every inch of land is valuable. The land alone is worth nearly $10 million. There are all kinds of land on these 5 acres of land, lakes, rivers, forests... not only has its own water on Lake Washington, but also has its own dock. Of course, there is no doubt that the private apron is there, and it is not one. It can be said that Bill Gates' house is simply a private castle. ≥

Living in such a big house is of course an enjoyable pleasure, but if you ask Bill Gates what the greatest significance of this house is? He will tell you without hesitation that the greatest significance of this house is to show its strength by Microsoft's partners.

To give an inappropriate example, if Bill Gates sells his mansion one day, Microsoft's stock price will be greatly affected. Countless investors and Microsoft stock holders will ask themselves in their hearts: What exactly caused Bill Gates to decide to sell the house? Could it be that there was a problem with Microsoft's finances?

This principle is actually the same as the principle that the rich bosses in China are trying every means to buy a good car, and even if they don’t have enough money, they have to borrow money to buy a good car. Show their strength to their partners and potential and future partners!

"I need to change a house." Lin Zheng, who understood this truth very well, couldn't help but nod.

"No, no, Lin, you were wrong." Bill Gates seriously corrected Lin Zheng's idea, "If you like the current house, you can continue to hold him, but you only need to buy a new house. You must know that as your private mansion, this house must demonstrate your strength and taste, and the best designers should help you design in all aspects... Want to hear my suggestions?"

With someone like Bill Gates who came to help him with advice, Lin Zheng of course couldn't ask for it. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course, Bill, I need your help very much."

"It's really not easy to hear this from your mouth," Bill Gates joked with Lin Zheng. Then he said to Lin Zheng seriously: "First of all, you need a mansion located in the suburbs. It may not be like mine, but it must have convenient sea, land and air transportation;"

This is the truth. For example, this luxury house of Bill Gates is only a 25-minute drive from Seattle City. Compared with the living and living habits of American rich people, this distance is very close; secondly, Bill Gates' home is only half an hour away from Seattle City Airport; at the same time, another small airport with a backup airport is only less than an hour away from Bill Gates' home; thirdly, Bill Gates' mansion is just by Lake Washington, and there is a Bill Gates' own exclusive dock, and he can park his own private luxury yacht at his doorstep. How convenient is this?

The most important thing is that it is not only for yourself, but also for the super rich people who come to your home to participate in various activities. It should be noted that the time for the super rich people is very precious. The requirements for the convenience of travel are also extremely demanding.

Seeing Lin Zheng agreeing with his words, Bill Gates became more and more happy: "In addition to a mansion, you should also have a vacation place, at least the kind of place that has lakes, forests, grasslands and hunting grounds. You and your friends can raft on the lake and hunt on the hunting grounds... Of course, the land in this kind of place is very cheap, so considering your identity, you should also build a private small airport for your friends to fly..."

"Why do I think the investment required for these two places alone is less than a few hundred million US dollars?" Lin Zheng finally couldn't help it, interrupting Bill Gates, who was excited and said with a bitter face.

"Hey, man, you are also a super rich man now. Do you need to care about this little money?" This time it was replaced by Bill Gates and was depressed: "This money also requires your one-time investment, which requires you to invest in the next two or three years or even three or four years, and..."

He looked at Lin Zheng up and down, until Lin Zheng started to get furrowed all over when he saw him. Then Bill Gates put away his strange gaze and said to Lin Zheng: "Do you know that when your investment and property plan are known tonight, will they be excited to open your pockets to you? You know, this is a big business!"

Indeed, the interest rate for the loan-making behavior of Soros's quantum fund is certainly outrageous, but the most important reason for such high interest is the high risk that comes with it. And even if you are brave enough to starve to death, this kind of opportunity is not available at all times. Haven't you seen how many years have Soros lurked in the pound before making such a big deal? For banks, Lin Zheng's business that can finalize investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the next few years can be considered a super big business... If you don't believe it, ask Comrade Bill Gates, a super rich man worth hundreds of billions of dollars, how much cash can he be able to take out now? It won't exceed 1 billion US dollars.

Lin Zheng heard this and felt aroused: "What if I plan to borrow more money?"

"Okay, what's the problem?" Bill Gates looked at him strangely: "As long as you are willing to use your property as collateral, this is not a problem at all. In fact, these bankers want you to take care of their business more... But what you are saying is true?"

"That's right, I do have this plan." Lin Zheng said calmly without hiding it from him.

Bill Gates nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, so those rumors are really coming."

"Rumor? What rumors?" Lin Zheng made Bill Gates feel uncomfortable. Could it be that some of his own rumors have begun to spread in the American business community?

"It's said that icq has made some moves recently... But Lin, I'm also a shareholder of icq. icq has made some moves. Should you tell me?" Bill Gates said dissatisfied.

"Take..." Looking at the guy in front of him, Lin Zheng looked contemptuous: "You are so embarrassed to say to me, as a shareholder of the company, America Online has been so troubled by so much that he has never seen you stand up and say a few words to the company?"

Listening to Lin Zheng's words, Bill Gates couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Indeed, what he did was a bit unauthentic in the matter of American Online.

"Okay, I admit that I was negligent about this matter. Don't worry, I will negotiate with people from AOL, but can you tell me what you plan to do?" As the world's richest man, Bill Gates is proud of being the world's richest man. Although Microsoft is also jealous of icq when he sees icq, he is also wondering whether to set up a live chat software to get a share of this booming industry. In this process, Bill Gates has used his understanding of icq to help Microsoft make suggestions, but at the same time, as a shareholder of icq, he also admitted that he lacks care for icq.

There is nothing to say, Lin Zheng said frankly: "Oh, I plan to start a membership fee system on icq."

The richest man in the world is the richest man in the world, and he was not surprised by Lin Zheng's words. He just frowned and asked Lin Zheng: "Are you planning to use the method of charging to fight against American Online?"

"Yes, is there any problem?"

"What's the problem?" This time, facing Lin Zheng's wild thoughts, Bill Gates had to smile bitterly: "Although I don't know what you plan to do, I know that either IQ defeated the American Online and lost, or you made a very stupid decision."

"Which type do you think it is now?" Lin Zheng asked with interest after hearing Bill Gates say this.

"I don't know," Bill Gates shook his head straightforwardly: "I can be sure you are not using a trick. You must have a reason for doing this. And you are quite confident that you can defeat your opponent in this way, but I really don't understand how you use the charging system to fight against the increasing number of users in AOL... Don't tell me, new users will cost money."

"Do you think my IQ is so low? Free lifelong is always the promise of icq."

"Free for life?" I never thought that Lin Zheng would even shout such a shameless slogan while proposing the membership fee system, so that even Bill Gates was shocked: Can you be more shameless?

"Actually, it's very simple. All newly registered users are free and can use all the functions of icq. However, after users pay the fee and become members, they can enjoy more value-added services..."

Without further ado, just saying this, Bill Gates immediately understood what Lin Zheng meant: Yes, icq promises to be free for life. As long as you don’t use these value-added functions, your icq will be free for life, but if you want to use some value-added services, it will cost money.

In this way, not only can we attract more people and bring stronger popularity by relying on the loud slogan of "free for life", but also have such a huge base, even if only 1% of people choose to become members, sum up, this membership fee is a huge amount... Bill Gates has to admit that this is indeed a good idea.

"What a pity," Bill Gates smiled bitterly: "Although this method is good, Microsoft is not easy to use."
