Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 658 0646 [The World’s Richest Man]

No matter which university it is, whether it is Harvard, Cambridge, or Yale, they attach great importance to donations from kindhearted people.

It’s not that these schools are short of money, but because every donation can further enhance the status of the school.

The more people donate, the more recognition they have of the school.

As one of the Harvard trustees, Scherff has been looking for an opportunity.

Today, the opportunity comes.

Crunch!

The door is closed.

Du Yongxiao was invited into the office.

The office is clean and bright, and the decoration is very literary. In addition to the large mahogany bookshelves, there are impressionist Van Gogh oil paintings.

Du Yongxiao took a quick glance, and then sat on the sofa at Sherf's invitation.

Sherf asked someone to prepare coffee, and then he said, "Mr. Du, I don't know why you want to donate to Harvard this time?"

"Oh, for my sister."

"Uh?"

"My sister is thirteen years old this year, but I have already helped her plan her future development direction, which is to come to the United States to study. The first place she wants to enter is your school, Harvard!"

Sherf smiled: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du! I understand what you mean, but you may not know the rules of our school. Our school always attaches great importance to students' qualifications, especially in terms of study. We only recruit outstanding students. To be precise, our place is the cradle for cultivating talented people, not just anyone who can come in by spending some money!"

At the end of the sentence, Sherf looked a little disdainful and his tone was a little contemptuous.

He believed that Du Yongxiao was the kind of opportunistic upstart who wanted to rely on money to pave the way for his sister.

Seeing Scherf's change of attitude, Du Yongxiao was not angry. He just picked up the coffee and took a sip and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Scherf, maybe my words were a little inappropriate just now - first of all, I never thought about buying things for my sister. Harvard student status; secondly, I am absolutely sincere in donating to your school; finally, don’t you want to hear the amount of my donation?”

Sherf also picked up the coffee, crossed his legs and said, "I'm curious, Mr. Du, how much are you going to donate?"

Scherf's expression was still very contemptuous. Many people came to Harvard to donate [-] yuan, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Some even donated millions.

Harvard is not short of money!
  So Scherff is not interested in Du Yongxiao’s donation figures.

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "One hundred thousand US dollars."

Sherf smiled slightly and said disdainfully: "Really, there are quite a lot!"

Du Yongxiao continued: "One hundred thousand US dollars is just the first donation. If my sister can be admitted to Harvard or can come to study at your school, then I will donate the second donation - one million!"

Hearing this, Sherf's contempt softened slightly, "It all depends on her luck! As I said, Harvard's admission quota is limited——"

Du Yongxiao continued: "This is the second donation. If my sister can successfully graduate from Harvard in the future, then I will donate another ten million!"

"Pfft!" This time Sherf couldn't sit still and almost spit out the coffee in his mouth. He stared at Du Yongxiao with wide eyes, "What did you say?"

Du Yongxiao looked at Sherf with a surprised look on his face and said calmly, "I will donate three sums of money, one hundred thousand, one million, and ten million! It's that simple!"

"Is everything you said true?" Sherf put down his coffee and looked at Du Yongxiao in disbelief.

Ten million U.S. dollars in this era is not a small amount, converted into Hong Kong dollars it is more than [-] million!

Although Harvard is one of the world's top universities, donations of tens of millions are rare in this era.

"Don't worry, everything I say is true. If you don't believe it, I can sign a contract with your school - with words to prove it, that's okay, right?" Du Yongxiao said lightly.

"Oh God, you are such a good person!" Sherf's expression changed drastically. He stood up and covered Du Yongxiao's hand excitedly: "I believe what you said is true! Of course the contract can be signed. It's not that I don't believe you, but It’s because of time, yes, God, it’s easy to forget things when time goes by, isn’t it?”

Sherf couldn't be happier.

As one of the top ten directors of the school, he has always wanted to climb to the front. Unfortunately, he has never had the chance. Now the opportunity has finally come. If he can really raise [-] million US dollars for Harvard, it will be a great achievement.

I was very excited just thinking about it, but immediately Sherf became wary again and looked at Du Yongxiao carefully. He was young, so young! Such a young guy doesn't really have that much money, does he? Have I met a liar or a lunatic?
  "Ahem, I'm sorry, Mr. Du, we have been talking for so long and I haven't asked you yet - what kind of business do you do, or where is your job?"

Who is Du Yongxiao? One look at Sherf's expression and you can tell what he is thinking.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you just now!" Du Yongxiao said, reaching into his arms, taking out an exquisite business card holder, clicking it, opening it, taking out a gold-gilded business card, and handed it to Sherf with an elegant gesture.

Sherf hurriedly stood up and took it with both hands, glancing at it——
  "Phoenix Pharmaceuticals of the United States, Chairman - Du Yongxiao!"

Phoenix Pharmaceuticals?

Sherf rolled his eyes and searched rapidly in his mind.

When Du Yongxiao saw this, he reminded him: "Viagra, Viagra!"

Snapped!
  Sherf almost fell down on the sofa.

He uses this medicine frequently!

……

Viagra!
  In other words, Viagra's popularity in the United States is definitely a big thing.

When they first landed in the United States, Du Yongxiao and Rockefeller planned various propaganda, including Du Yongxiao's strategy of "surrounding the city with rural areas" and "surrounding pharmacies with toilets".

The meaning is very simple————
  To encircle cities from rural areas is to place advertisements in inconspicuous places in major states in the United States. They are the kind of advertisements on telephone poles and walls, commonly known as "dog-skin plaster advertisements."

Toilets surround pharmacies, and advertisements are placed in men's toilets and pharmacies. These places are the most common haunts for men with unspeakable secrets.

Rockefeller scoffed at these "strategies" of Du Yongxiao, thinking they were too funny and not serious!
  But it turns out that these strategies are all right!

Du Yongxiao's advertisements completely opened up the market for Viagra, and sales soared from zero to millions, or tens of millions!
  Rockefeller couldn't stop laughing. He didn't understand why Du Yongxiao knew so much, as if he had practiced it, and then he admired Du Yongxiao.

Of course Du Yongxiao would not tell him that these were truths practiced by the Chinese people in the previous life.

Viagra became popular in the United States.

As a famous "coward in bed," Scherf didn't even dare to go home before taking Viagra.

Every time he comes home, his wife will laugh at him for being a "three-second man". Most of the time, he needs the help of props to complete the task of handing in public food. In order to pay the public salary, Sherf racked his brains, but the final result was that he directly changed from a "three-second man" to a "soft man", which was even more useless.

Sherf's life was in dire straits during that period, and it was at this time that he learned about Viagra.

The first time he took it, he was full of vitality and regained his glory!

It can be said that Mr. Sherf is now a loyal supporter of Viagra!
  After benefiting from this, Scherff began investigating how the drug came to be.

If you don't check it, you won't know it's super. If you check it, you'll be shocked.

This drug was actually developed and developed by a Chinese investor in London, England.

And in order to save men around the world, this Chinese established the company Phoenix Pharmaceuticals - and has branches in London, UK and Los Angeles, USA.

After learning the truth, Sherf was extremely grateful to this magical Chinese! Think he is a reborn parent! And secretly vowed that if one day I see this "benefactor", I will be grateful to him and perform their traditional Chinese kowtow ceremony.

At this moment, Sherf looked at Du Yongxiao in disbelief, his mouth tangled up, "You, you, you, what did you say? Are you the boss of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals? Are you the Chinese who developed Viagra?"

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Yes, you can call to confirm! Or call Mr. Rockefeller directly!"

Sherf almost went crazy with excitement. He clenched his fists and said to Du Yongxiao: "Thank you, thank you very much!"

"Uh, what are you thanking me for?" Du Yongxiao saw that he looked weird and couldn't help asking, "Is it too much to thank me for donating money?"

"No, I want to thank you for inventing Viagra, the drug Viagra! Yes, God, you have saved countless men, you are the God of men!" Sherf said gratefully.

Du Yongxiao was stunned. He did not expect that Mr. Sherf in front of him turned out to be a "coward."

In fact, in the United States, many men do not shy away from being incompetent in certain aspects, especially these high-level intellectuals, who will express many of their thoughts and opinions in order to express their feelings at the moment, as is the case with Scherff.

As if words alone were not enough to express his gratitude to Du Yongxiao, Sherf stood up abruptly, then bowed ninety degrees towards Du Yongxiao and said: "You Chinese people often say that you can only receive a drop of kindness from others." When the spring comes, I thank you for helping me! No, for helping all American men!"

Du Yongxiao was stunned, feeling that this old man was cute for the first time.

Next, the two parties began to formally sign the donation contract.

According to what Du Yongxiao said before, he will donate three amounts of money for his sister, namely [-], [-] million, and [-] million US dollars.

Sign and pledge!

Everything is done in black and white.

When the news spread, outside the school director's office, those people opened their mouths in shock.

"That Chinese wants to donate [-] million to Harvard?"

"Haha, there must be some conspiracy!"

Even if they were beaten to death, they would not believe that Du Yongxiao could come up with so much money, let alone that hapless guy Sherf could be so lucky.

Especially after other school directors heard the news, they even sneered at it——
  "This guy Sherf wants to rely on a Chinese to make a comeback? What a dream!"

But then another news came out——
  Donor Du Yongxiao turned out to be the president of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals!

The owner of Phoenix Pharmaceuticals sells health products, namely Viagra!
  For a moment, everyone was shocked.

Those school directors are also mute.

And at this time——
  In the office, Du Yongxiao and Sherf didn't know what happened to Wai Oumian. How many people were shocked by the agreement they signed and Du Yongxiao's identity.

Du Yongxiao finished his coffee, put it down, took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to Sherf with a smile: "Mr. Sherf, now we are done talking about the serious business. Now I have a small request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"Of course! Dear Du, just say it!" Sherf looked very happy.

Yes, he is really happy now. He hopes that he can help Du Yongxiao, even if he does his best.

"In this case, I dare to speak out. I want to find someone in your school, but your school is too big and there are so many people that I don't know where to start!"

"Find someone?"

"Yes!"

"What's his name?" Sherf stood up and said, "I can call the school's admissions office. Yes, if there is his name or residential address, I can look up his admission file!"

Du Yongxiao smiled and said lightly: "His name is Bill Gates!"

……

That's right!

This time Du Yongxiao came to Boston. The main reason for entering Harvard University was to find the future technology tycoon, Microsoft President-Bill Gates!

As for Du Yongxiao donating money to help her sister go to school, that's all secondary.

For Du Yongxiao, his sister's future education is important, but it is secondary to taking Bill Gates under his wing.

What's more, if his sister Du Yongmei really graduates from Harvard University in the future, then the [-] million donated by Du Yongxiao will be obtained from Microsoft!

In a word, Du Yongxiao must find Bill Gates this time and take him down.

According to what Du Yongxiao knew in his previous life, Gates was born in 1955 and grew up in Seattle with his two sisters. Their father is a lawyer in Seattle. Gates' late mother was a schoolteacher and a trustee at the University of Washington.

Gates attended public elementary schools in Seattle and private Lakeside High School. There, he discovered his interest in software and began computer programming at the age of 13.

In 1973, this year, Gates was admitted to Harvard University and became a good friend with future Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

While at Harvard, Gates developed a version of the BASIC programming language for the first microcomputer.

In his junior year of college, Gates voluntarily dropped out of Harvard and devoted all his energy to Microsoft, the company he founded.

Guided by the belief that computers would become the most important tool in every home and every office, Bill Gates and his friends began developing software for personal computers.

Eventually, Microsoft became the world's leading technology company, and by 1987, Bill Gates himself became the first billionaire in the PC industry. In 1996, his total personal assets exceeded US$180 billion. In 1997, it reached 340 billion. In 98, it exceeded the 500 billion mark, and he became the "world's richest man" of course.

For Du Yongxiao, since he has come to this world, the future "world's richest man" will definitely not be Bill Gates, or Soros, Buffett, and even less likely to be the "rocket maker" Elon Musk. Sk-----
  In order to be worthy of this golden finger——
  He can only be the richest man in the world in the future——
  Du Yongxiao!
