Chapter 051 Cooperation(1/3)
After confirming the candidate for the NBA league alliance, Bruce hurriedly went to join his "godfather" Paul Allen.
The reason is that Bruce has no money.
If it is the working capital of Tianhan Empire Company and all its own companies, then Bruce can get it out with a little squeeze.
But Bruce wanted to discuss cooperation with well-known Americans in his previous life, so he was short of money.
This time he still has two goals.
One is Jeff Bezos, who needs to seek cooperation in the early stages of entrepreneurship.
The other is Apple, which is currently at a low point.
Bruce happened to come back at this time in 1996, in order to cooperate with Bezos and acquire shares in Apple.
Of course, Bruce definitely doesn't have this large amount of money now. Unless he sells all the shares of major companies purchased by Tianhan Empire Company a few years ago, he can solve the problem of lack of money.
But maybe, it would be too difficult to ask Bruce to pull things out of his mouth.
In addition, Bruce borrowed money and had another purpose. The extra money was used for the 1998 World Cup, which depends on this transaction.
...
Seattle City, Paul Allen's Villa.
As soon as Bruce came to Seattle, he found Paul Allen and informed him of his purpose.
"Father, I need to borrow money from you!"
"Oh, are you short of money? How much are you going to borrow?"
Paul Allen didn't know Bruce's plan, and of course he didn't expect that Bruce, who was still trying his best to stop Larry Miller's Bruce a few days ago, would actually borrow money from him.
Is it used to block Larry Miller from not having enough money?
Didn’t that boy Larry Miller apologize?
Why do you still have to borrow money?
Paul Allen felt inexplicable for a moment. At least in his opinion, a person as smart as Bruce would definitely leave working capital to protect himself.
Bruce is not the kind of person who spends all his money when he gets hot.
This kid is quite smart!
"There are many differences. This time I am going to borrow $300 million from my father."
Bruce also scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"so much?"
"Didn't that boy Larry Miller apologize?"
"Are you going to continue to take revenge?"
Paul Allen didn't expect that Bruce would borrow $300 million as soon as he opened his mouth. This is not a small amount!
Even if the relationship is good, Paul Allen must be more at ease.
Although he has a "godfather and son" relationship with Bruce, he is an American, an Asian, and not a biological child. Of course, Paul Allen needs to think about it carefully.
He can't do anything like Bruce to send the team casually.
"No, father, and Larry Miller's affairs have been settled, I'm already dealing with those houses and TV stations."
Just kidding, Bruce didn't expect to set up camp in Salt Lake City, which is not even comparable to Seattle, let alone a super metropolis like New York.
This time when confronting Larry Miller, Bruce can be said to have killed one thousand enemies and suffered 800 losses. Compared to Larry Miller's losses, Bruce lost more than him.
Look, Bruce immediately sold those stores after Larry Miller publicly apologized.
How much can be recycled is counted as making up for economic losses.
"The reason I borrowed so much money from my father was to discuss cooperation with others and acquire the company's shares."
Bruce trusted Paul Allen quite well, and did not hide it from the other party, and told him his thoughts together.
"I understand, OK, I'll send you the money tomorrow morning."
"As for the Apple company you are talking about, I know that Microsoft is also planning to acquire their shares. By the way, is it really so profitable as you said?"
Although Paul Allen doesn't care much about Microsoft's business, it doesn't prevent him from understanding Microsoft's future trends at any time.
Yes, Apple is Microsoft's next goal.
This was what his goodness told him personally.
At this time, Apple's operations were in a dilemma, with its market share falling from Dingsheng's 16% to 4%.
Now Apple's shares are definitely priced at cabbage. If you don't take advantage of this, you will definitely be a fool.
Whether it was Bruce who came to him to borrow money this time or Bill's report to him, Paul Allen decided to chew the big apple himself.
"I will pay you back 2,000 years ago together with the principal and interest."
Brothers must settle the score clearly, let alone "give father and son", so you must understand it even more.
Knowing the ending of Paul Allen in his previous life, Bruce did not want to be greedy for the property of the Paul Allen family.
The Chinese nation's nature made him unable to do such a thing.
"What interest do you want? Just pay me back when you have money."
After all, Bruce gave him the team without blinking his eyelids. As a top boss in the United States, he must not be so stingy.
Bruce wanted to continue talking about this topic, but was stopped by Paul Allen.
"Are you ready to come to America for a long time to go to school?"
In fact, Bruce also thought about this question. After all, he will definitely come to America to study in the future. It is actually the same when he comes early and late.
However, after this group fight, Bruce thought a lot and decided to study in the United States after finishing elementary school.
It's only a year next year, and it won't be long before we can find a middle school to study.
"Next year, it's better for me to finish elementary school before coming to work. It's only been a year anyway."
Paul Allen nodded, turned around and took out a document from the drawer of the desk and handed it to Bruce.
As soon as he saw the information, Bruce was immediately moved.
This information is marked with the names of middle schools across the United States and the preparation of their own documents for admission.
It can be said that Paul Allen made this information very carefully, and even the school’s educational environment and facilities were all marked.
It can also be seen from the information that Paul Allen has many places he filled in. It can be imagined that this must have been modified by Paul Allen personally after inspecting it.
Paul Allen's good intentions touched Bruce's mood at this moment.
It’s not in vain to recognize this boss. Look, he can even do these small things for you.
No matter how touched you are, you still have to choose which middle school you want to go to.
"Look at which middle school you are going to go to."
Seeing Paul Allen's loving eyes, Bruce didn't want his usefulness to be wasted.
In fact, Bruce also understood that Paul Allen still wanted him to come to Seattle to study, after all, Paul Allen could take care of Bruce himself.
Of course, Bruce can also choose cities with high cultural atmosphere such as New York and Los Angeles. After all, it is second to want to take care of Bruce personally. It is the primary purpose to give Bruce the best education in the United States.
Bruce took a closer look at the middle school information in Seattle.
Two middle schools were selected from them, and Bruce was hesitating because he didn't know who to choose.
Why did these two middle schools make Bruce hesitate?
Of course there is a reason!
Let's talk about it in detail.
The first middle school selected by Bruce is quite awesome, with an academic level ranking "A+" in the United States - Hubin School.
If you have a middle school, of course you can also go directly to the high school.
If you attend this middle school, the university you apply for after graduation is a well-known university in the United States, including Columbia University where Bruce wants to attend New York.
Another middle school, to be precise, can also be called a high school. This school is not very famous and I won’t mention its academic level, but the sports level is indeed relatively high, especially the basketball department, which is Garfield High School.
The same middle school goes straight to high school.
The reason why Bruce hesitated was that he considered that Wang Zhizhi was studying at Garfield High School now, and Chinese people like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian would be arranged by him to train in this high school. This is the first base for Chinese players!
Of course, Bruce also wants to take care of these players himself.
After thinking for a while, Bruce decided to choose Hubin School.
Just think of it as Paul Allen's meticulous affection for himself.
Bruce smiled and took out the information from Lakeside School and handed it to Paul Allen.
"Just him!"
Paul Allen was immediately happy when he saw it because he knew that Bruce would basically live with him in the next few years.
