The reason for going to the Fifty States Federation was to attend a party, and the organizer of the party was the famous Mr. Warren.
When Si Mingyu and Xu Group were fighting in the stock market, they hired Tom Gratton and his five-member team for 100 million Chinese yuan. This team came from a secret department under Berkshire Hathaway.
Even though he and Mr. Warren knew each other at that time, Tom's team would not have taken on the job if the old man did not agree.
Later, Si Mingyu founded the East Asia Mingyu Charity Foundation to provide assistance to patients with a certain type of rare disease. Not long ago, he announced the launch of another rare disease drug research. If results are achieved, he will continue to use this model. Mr. Warren became interested in him.
Well, Gu Shuanghui’s introduction was indispensable for this.
It is well known that the old man is also very enthusiastic about charity, and has donated a lot of money to many charitable foundations. The proceeds from the auction of his most famous "Buffett Lunch" were also donated to charities in all fifty states.
Mr. Warren lives in Omaha on the Missouri River on the eastern border of Nebraska. His company is also there. He enjoys the feeling of having his home close to his company and being able to stop by McDonald's halfway.
The small gathering wasn't crowded. Besides Warren and Munger, there were only Gates and his wife. The elder had originally wanted to invite Gu Shuanghui, but Gu Shuanghui, considering Si Mingyu's wealth but reputation lacking, recommended him to go in his place, perhaps to boost his reputation.
The plane landed at Omaha National Airport. For the airport, being able to take a private plane and even bring your own private fleet requires that such a big shot, even if he is a Chinese, be treated with the highest standards.
In fact, the person in charge of the airport personally came to receive the plane as soon as it landed. This was because many high-ranking figures, including those in charge of the department, had called and requested that the distinguished guests from China be received well.
For the airport manager, welcoming is secondary, and conveying greetings from several bigwigs is the main thing.
Therefore, Si Mingyu and his party used a special express lane, and there were special personnel to conduct quick security checks on their vehicles, so there would be no delay.
The reason is very simple. China's first five-nanometer chip manufacturing plant is owned by the East Asia Mingyu Group, and the first complete chip industry chain was established under the leadership of the East Asia Mingyu Group. In the future, these people from the Fifty State Federation will have many opportunities to deal with Si Mingyu, so why not leave a good impression?
The hired local security company had been waiting outside the airport for a long time. When five Hongqi sedans drove out of the airport, escorted by two Chevrolet Suburbans in the front and two in the back, the overseas Chinese or international students who saw the convoy thought it was some official visit.
Mr. Warren's residence is very simple and does not look like the residence of the world's top billionaires at all. Even most of the ordinary billionaires in the fifty states live better than him.
"Hello Mr. Munger, hello Mr. Buffett, and hello Mr. Gates." After getting off the car, Si Mingyu took the initiative to greet them. These people are already his grandfathers.
"Hello, Mr. Si." The big guys were dressed casually as usual.
Because Si Mingyu was too young and they were not particularly familiar with each other, the other party could only call him that.
"These are my girlfriends, Zhang Ningxi and Lin Shirui." Si Mingyu introduced.
"They are all very beautiful girls." Gates praised with a smile.
"I'm sorry that I brought so many people and disturbed the peace of the town." Si Mingyu said with a little apology.
"That's understandable. Let's go in." Old Man Warren didn't care.
It was easy for the bigwigs to learn about Si Mingyu's past, so they naturally knew he had been shot twice in Paris and Hong Kong. Once bitten, one becomes afraid of the rope for ten years, and after being bitten twice, this reaction was normal.
Of course, all the bodyguards and accompanying personnel were left outside. Si Mingyu only brought his wife in, and even the twins were left outside.
"Please sit wherever you like and help yourself to whatever drinks you want."
Although the two had been in contact before, it was only online. However, when meeting Si Mingyu for the first time, Mr. Warren seemed very casual. Since he invited you to his home, it means he recognizes you, and there is no need to be pretentious.
"I brought some gifts for you." Si Mingyu took a Chinese-style wooden multi-layered food box from Lin Shirui and handed it to her.
"This is so beautiful." Old Man Warren exclaimed after opening the box.
The food box has three layers, each containing nine snacks. These were crafted by several masters, and are more like works of art than food. For example, the walnut pastry is so real it's almost impossible to tell from its color and appearance, and the taste is guaranteed to be excellent.
They all had everything they needed, so Si Mingyu had put some thought into choosing the gifts. And for Mr. Warren and the others, even the most exquisite snacks were meant to be eaten, so they chatted and ate their treats with cola.
As the conversation deepened and everyone became more familiar with each other, Mr. Munger changed the subject and started talking about East Asia Mingyu Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Co., Ltd.: "Mr. Si, do you have any plans to go public in the future?"
"It probably won't go public, at least there are no plans in this regard right now." Si Mingyu answered truthfully. If it really went public, he wouldn't be able to hide it from these people.
"What you said is almost exactly the same as what Ms. Li Yinghua said back then." Old Man Warren sighed.
"Have you seen my grandma?" Si Mingyu was surprised.
"We've done business together before, and she owns several companies that are doing very well. I suggested she take them public, but she gave the same answer as you."
"You could think of it as, well, a family tradition."
These assets were arranged for Si Mingyu by the "company", so it was naturally impossible to list them and be supervised by shareholders to cause trouble for himself. Therefore, he could only find this excuse to explain it.
"I can understand that, but we can still accept financing even if we don't go public." Mr. Munger expressed his understanding.
"What suggestions do you have?" Si Mingyu asked.
"How about selling 9% of the shares? Guoxing Group and Dongya Mingyu Group are both yours, and the two together can still guarantee 51% controlling stake." Mr. Munger suggested.
"You should know that we are not short of money. All the funds have been in place and the chip manufacturing plant is being built overtime." Si Mingyu didn't understand why the other party wanted to invest in the chip company. For the three people present, the money would not be spent in several lifetimes.
"Of course, I believe you are not short of funds, but what if you want to invest in equipment and technology? For example, lithography machines." Old man Warren put forward an unexpected condition.
