Chapter 1539

The Goldberg family's breakfast was rich but also complicated, with many patterns, rules and stresses, which made Li Mu feel a little difficult to accept.

He finally knows why most of these old money in Europe are not doing well now, especially those aristocrats who have inherited their titles since the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, they are almost eating the old money. The most fundamental reason is that they are too fastidious and comfortable.

In the new era, the wealth owners attach the most importance to efficiency. For example, Li Mu himself, even when he has reached the point of being very rich, has never paid so much attention to it as the European aristocrats. One and a half hours for breakfast, two hours for lunch, and two or three hours at least before and after a French dinner. If a group of aristocrats gather together for dinner, It's normal to have a meal for five hours, even with bragging.

These people are very similar to the literati and poets in ancient China. Most of their time and energy are focused on their own unique way of life when they are reciting poems and writing poems and writing poems every day. However, most of these people are lack of talent in creating wealth and career.

The royal family like William didn't really enjoy the advantages in Li Mu's eyes. These people were very gentlemanly in speech and behavior. The etiquette education they received since childhood was textbook level, but these things were too superficial in Li Mu's eyes. They were at most a skill rather than a ability. Otherwise, he couldn't hear that he didn't need twitter to make money At that time, it shows the surprise and incomprehension from the heart.

If it's Elon Musk, he should be able to understand that it's the same with Larry Page. Although Mark Zuckerberg is young and immature as a whole, his thinking mode is advanced, even surpassing all the Goldberg family members and all the European aristocrats who attended the salon party.

Li Mu suddenly missed Bill Gates. Although Bill Gates even wanted to wipe out the technology in his mind, he was at least the one who had a common language with himself.

Thinking of Bill Gates, Li Mu looked around and saw that there was no Bill Gates in the restaurant. This elder brother is somehow the richest man in the world. Surely Goldberg family can't arrange him to go to the banquet hall to have dinner with most of the guests, right? Then why didn't you see him?

Then Li Mu asked William, "William, did you see Mr. Bill Gates today?"

William shook his head and said, "no, what's the matter? What do you want to do with Mr. Gates? "

"Nothing, just ask." Li Mu dealt with a sentence, his heart can not help but some wonder.

At this time, Davidson accompanied several Middle East Royal family members to come in, and Li Mu waved to him. Davidson hurriedly said hello to several Middle East Royal family members, and then came to Li Mu and asked with a smile, "Mr. Li, is breakfast still to your taste?"

"Very good." Li Mu smiled and asked him, "by the way, why didn't you see Mr. Bill Gates?"

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

Li Mu wondered, "what do you know?"

"Mr. Gates is back in America," Davidson said with a smile

"Back to America?" Li Mu is even more surprised: "this just came, how to go? When did you leave? "

"Last night." Davidson thought for a moment and said, "it should be a temporary decision to go back soon after twitter went online. It should be Seattle by now."

Li Mu is stunned. Good guy, are you going?

Li Mu sighed helplessly. What is this elder brother doing back in a hurry? Do you want to get back to MSN?

As soon as twitter goes online, even if MSN has great ability, it can't topple YY. Bill gates should know that.

Then he hurried back in a hurry. Could it be that he could not face it?

It's possible. After all, he was full of self-confidence. He always felt that the new MSN ecology would bring a huge threat to YY, and even took the initiative to challenge himself. But he didn't expect that the MSN ecology carefully built by Microsoft was so vulnerable.

Davidson then said, "Mr. Li, Prince Walid of Saudi Arabia wants to invite you to play golf. Do you have time?"

"Prince of Saudi Arabia?" Li Mu frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at several Middle East guests wearing red and white plaid headscarves. One of the young men saw Li Mu looking over and smiled and raised his hand to Li Mu.

"That's Prince Walid," Davidson said

Li Mu nodded and said, "thank you for your kindness, but I can't play golf, so I can't help you."

Davidson nodded, "well, I'll tell him later."

Li Mu smiled and said: "for Davidson, Manchester City Club, please try to speed up the pace of trouble as soon as possible, the faster the better, the better it can be done before I leave the UK."

Davidson was in a bit of a dilemma. He bought a club, at least tens of millions of pounds. Under normal circumstances, even if the two sides can talk about the price, it will take a long time just for financial audit and handover. Li Mu wants to buy a club in a few days, which is very unlikely.Seeing that Davidson didn't speak, and his expression was a little tangled, Li Mu said: "Davidson, you don't need to think too much about trifles. Since they are willing to sell, I can take over at 110% of the market price, and give them an extra 10% premium. If they agree to the offer, I can pay immediately. As for the financial audit, they can first take the book data as the standard, and let's They make a written commitment, and then put it behind them slowly. Such a big club should not have too much financial deviation. Even if there is a deviation, then it can also be traced according to the agreement. "

Davidson knows that Li Mu is very efficient in doing things. If he delays this matter for another month or two, he would like to let Li Mu cooperate with HSBC in the future and let HSBC lead the lead underwriter of the IPO of Muye technology, even if it is no good.

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

……

After breakfast, Wendy Cooper went back to the restaurant and offered to accompany Li Mu, Prince William and Anne Hathaway to visit Goldberg manor. Li Mu didn't refuse. In his opinion, he had no common language with the old money and the Royal aristocracy. He was better to be a tourist and have a long experience.

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

in the face of William Goldberg, Davidson said the first words on the rock, he said: "William, you go to Manchester, you must buy the Manchester City Club."

"buy Manchester city?" William Gober was stunned and said: "Dad, the mcmillans are big shareholders of Manchester United. Are you going to confront them?"

Davidson waved his hand and said, "to buy Manchester city is to give it to Li Mu as a gift."

"To Li Mu? Is this gift too expensive, dad William Cooper didn't understand. He couldn't understand why dad gave Li Mu a football club? Let's not say that the "gift" is somewhat innovative, and the cost is too high.

the British people love football from the royal family to the common people. They know the domestic football clubs very well. So does William Goldberg. He is very clear about the current situation of Manchester city and the approximate price of Manchester city. If he wants to buy the club, the acquisition cost alone will be 70 million pounds, or even higher. Even if he wants to attract Li Mu, it will be over. There's no need to make such a big sacrifice, is there?

Davidson shook his head and said: "we have made a prediction before that if Muye technology is IPO, its market value will be at least 200 billion US dollars. But as soon as twitter comes up, it will spread all over the world, so that the media all over the world are reporting that the development speed is terrible. If we give Li Mu another half year, Muye technology IPO will be promoted by twitter Value will continue to rise, so Muye technology IPO should be the largest IPO in Nasdaq history, and in the next few years, this record may not be surpassed. "

As he said, Davidson added: "if Makino technology plans to raise 10% of its shares, that's 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 leading bank and get the main underwriting right, it will greatly improve the recognition of our customers After that, the added value is immeasurable, so in any case, we have to have a good relationship with Li Mu. Just because Li Mu is very interested in the Premier League club, we might as well give him a big favor. "

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

Davidson said: "Li Mu is in a hurry, so after you arrive in Manchester, you should try to push the pace of negotiation with the shareholders of Manchester city faster. Even if you spend a little more money, you should let these people nod as soon as possible. As long as they have no opinion on the offer, we will sign an agreement with them immediately, and then make payment to try to solve it in five days."

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

Davidson said without any doubt: "the situation is special, so everything should be based on time. The earlier we win Manchester City, the more conducive we can get closer to Li Mu. If we miss this opportunity and think about the next time, it will not be so easy."

William Cooper immediately said: "I understand dad, then I'm ready to start as soon as possible."

Davidson nodded, and then said, "one more thing."

"Please, Dad," William Cooper said in a hurry

Davidson said: "tell Wendy that the real peak of her life is not herself or us, but Li Mu. Let her try to get closer to Li Mu. In addition, prepare to go to China as soon as possible to study as a graduate student. Don't wait until the end of the year. Otherwise, according to Li Mu's work and life rhythm, he will almost forget Wendy by the end of the year Now! "
