Chapter 1298 I Admire You Very Much

For the top rich people in the United States, they have very rich experience in philanthropy. Almost every rich person has more than one charitable foundation. Some foundations are used to help specific groups of people, while others are used for certain Public welfare projects, or scientific research projects that are helpful to human beings.

Americans have long been accustomed to the philanthropy routines of the rich in the United States, so the social influence that the rich in the United States can bring to charity is not great. In addition, Li Mu disclosed in his Harvard speech that the "charitable foundations of the top rich" "The game has made many fake charities and tax evasion foundations seen through by the enlightened people, so the society is even more disapproving of the rich people's actions as charitable foundations.

Before the Veterans Undying Charity Foundation was exposed, the rich in the United States could not believe that a charitable foundation with 100 million yuan was able to arouse such great recognition, repercussions and such strong support in the society.

The social influence brought by the Veterans Undying Charity Foundation to Li Mu can be said to have completely surpassed all private charitable foundations in the world, and has completely sublimated to a new level. While they were stunned, they were also envious.

Nowadays, the eyes of the public have indeed become sharp, and it is meaningless to simply rub the heat, so some people set their sights on Li Mu.

Li Mu is the founder of the Veteran Undying Charity Foundation. This foundation has given him huge recognition in China and even the world. If at this time, he can join forces with Li Mu to become the Veteran Undying Charity Foundation in other countries, then The public's attitude towards this charitable foundation is bound to improve a lot.

If you want to get Li Mu's popularity, you can only have the greatest effect if you get Li Mu's approval.

Within a day, Li Mu received direct contacts from several of the top American billionaires, including the world's richest man Bill Gates, including Warren Buffett, Google founder Larry Page and Oracle boss Larry Ellison. A phone call was made, and a very sincere request was made on the phone to cooperate with Li Mu to establish the 'Veterans Don't Die - American Charity Foundation' in the United States.

The specific needs of several bigwigs are quite consistent, and they all hope that this foundation can nominally be attached to Li Mu's Veteran Undying Charity Foundation, so that the bloodline can be guaranteed to be pure; in addition, they also hope that the foundation can Maintaining independence in actual operation means maintaining independence. In fact, the subtext is also saying: All the specific operations of this foundation have nothing to do with Li Mu, Li Mu does not need it, and is not qualified to point fingers.

This kind of thing is obviously taking advantage of, and several big bosses also know that it is not suitable, so they also give their own "prices". Bill Gates is willing to donate 10 million US dollars to Li Mu's Veteran Undying Charity Foundation for this purpose. , Buffett is 15 million, Larry Page and Larry Ellison, the two larry, are both asking in RMB, and the price is 100 million RMB.

The reason for choosing the price of 100 million yuan is presumably because they saw the news reports and knew that Li Mu was the Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation established with 100 million yuan, so they also offered this price, and at the same time they thought they had already made the move. very generous.

Li Mu was particularly unhappy with the behavior of these "big men". The first thing he was unhappy about was that he felt that these people valued reputation too much. In their eyes, the primary purpose of charity may be reputation, and the second is that charity can give people in need. What kind of help the group brought; the second one is unhappy, because these big guys seem to be treating themselves as children.

In other words, they underestimated their size and underestimated their appetite.

Li Mu is indeed a rising star among the world's richest people, and he is also the youngest one. The most important thing is that although Li Mu can already be among these bigwigs in terms of his worth, because most of Li Mu's business is in China,

So these big guys don't know enough about him.

Moreover, taking 10 million US dollars, or 100 million RMB to "buy" this charity project that the whole world is acclaiming, Li Mu felt that they thought too much, and thought he was stupid.

Therefore, Li Mu made a decision. He decided to personally bring the "Veterans Don't Die" charity project to the United States. However, his energy was indeed limited, and Liu Xinying could not have the time. Therefore, Li Mu thought of a new one. Method.

...

On the morning of the "Veterans Don't Die China Internet Industry Spring City Charity Night", Li Mu called Elon Musk.

It was night time in the United States. Elon Musk received a call from Li Mu and congratulated him as soon as he came up: "Mr. Li, I really want to congratulate you! Your veteran's undead charity project is really popular all over the United States. The United States is full of remarks praising you and this charitable project. You are definitely the most respected and recognized entrepreneur in the United States by the society. Even the entrepreneurs in the United States may not be able to compare. This project is from the perspective of social influence. Looking at it, it was really successful.”

Li Mu said with a smile: "As long as you do charity with your heart, it is inevitable to get social recognition. Although I don't do charity for the sake of reputation, it feels good now. At least it can influence many rich people and make them feel right. Charity is interested."

Elon Musk laughed and said, "I heard that many American bigwigs are contacting you, hoping to borrow your light. What conditions have they offered you?"

Li Mu said: "I am not interested in their conditions, but they gave me a little inspiration."

Speaking, Li Mu asked Elon Musk: "Elon, how much cash do you have at your disposal now?"

"Cash?" Elon Musk said embarrassedly: "Not much. I made some investments and financial management in exchange for the cash from the transfer of paypal shares, and I also repaid some of the debts. There are still tens of millions of dollars left."

Having said this, Elon Musk asked again: "Mr. Li, why are you asking this?"

Li Mu snorted and suddenly asked him, "Are you interested in taking out five million dollars, and I'll ask Muye Technology's US branch to provide another five million dollars. Let's set up a veteran American charity foundation in the United States?"

Elon Musk was a little stunned for a moment.

His current worth is far from the top rich in the United States, but he is very well informed. When the rich in the United States want to set up a charitable foundation in the United States, he has already captured the intentions of these bigwigs. , I also heard today that several top bigwigs have already contacted Li Mu, hoping to get the derivatives of the project from Li Mu's hands. Invested a considerable amount of money into the foundation, and also gave Li Mu a certain "copyright fee" promise.

But he never thought that Li Mu would take the initiative to take out this project and do it with him.

The astonished Elon Musk asked for a long time: "Mr. Li, why me?"

Li Mu said, "Because I know you best."

Elon Musk added: "But they should have given you a very good offer..."

Li Mu snorted and asked him, "What kind of shit do you think I need them to offer me?"

Elon Musk understood in an instant!

I see!

Although Li Mu is young, it does not mean he is immature, and it does not mean that he really wants to respect the old and love the young in the circle of the top rich. Although it is rude to refuse the olive branch thrown by others, he does not need any offer from the top rich. , Although everyone has checked a lot of age, their worth and future development space are not much different.

Afterwards, Li Mu continued: "It will not be long before Muye Technology landed in the American market, and there is still a long way to go in the American market in the future. I not only hope that yy can gain a firm foothold in the United States and develop for a long time, but also hope that Muye Technology can become a company favored by the American people. An Internet company that accepts, welcomes and respects, the opportunity of this charitable foundation is the best choice for Muye Technology, which will allow Muye Technology to gain enough respect in the United States."

"Of course!" Elon Musk said: "In this case, it would be better for Muye Technology to run the project by itself. You don't need to let me get involved!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Elon, we are friends, I appreciate you very much, and I believe that there will be many cooperation projects between us in the future. I hope that we can be closely tied together in the future, so this foundation, just It was the beginning of our cooperation at that time, if you are interested, give me a clear answer, and I will let Xue Qingying contact you immediately to discuss follow-up matters, if you are not willing, I will not force it."

Li Mu is several years younger than Elon Musk, but he said that I admire you very much, but he said it very naturally, and Elon Musk did not feel any sense of disobedience. Although Li Mu was much younger than himself, he He is indeed more successful than himself, so Elon Musk can benefit from getting such a direct affirmation from him.

At the same time, Elon Musk is also very clear that Li Mu's words are actually more of a solicitation, hoping to tie himself to him and Muye Technology in the future.

For Elon Musk, he also hopes to become a community of interests with Li Mu. It is best to cooperate with him more. The ideal situation is to become an equal and equal partner relationship with Li Mu. After all, it's not realistic. With Li Mu's current status and state, he no longer needs equal partners, he needs unequal followers.

Li Mu is the founder of an ecology. This ecology is like a towering tree in the forest. In the process of growth, it does not and does not need to cooperate with towering trees of the same level or higher than him. He needs The main thing is to nurture more creatures in their own big tree while continuing to grow taller and continue to flourish.

It needs birds on the treetops, monkeys on branches, squirrels in tree holes, mushrooms under tree roots, and moss in the shade.

These are all adherents of the towering tree and a part of the towering tree ecology.

Now, the olive branch thrown by Li Mu is actually meant to ask Elon Musk if he is interested in becoming a part of this huge ecology.
