Chapter 2190 The Abandoned Entrepreneur (Third Update)

On the first day of Microsoft's listing, the closing price was $8, a full 60% increase!

Microsoft's market value has also jumped to 8 billion US dollars, which is very dazzling.

The increase fell short of Yin Jun’s prediction, but exceeded the best estimates of Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

The reason why Microsoft is so popular is actually very simple.

Judging from the trading records of the day, the top ten companies that bought the most Microsoft stocks are all well-known fund companies in the world.

Among them was the fund company owned by the manager who had a quarrel with Paul Allen on the spot.

This manager named Pitino controlled his own fund company and bought more than 2.7% of Microsoft's shares in one go, ranking second, which is very eye-catching.

Because Goldman Sachs was the issuer and took 10% of the shares, only 20% of the shares were actually issued this time. Pitino ate up a little more than one-tenth of the publicly issued shares in one go. It was really extraordinary. Be optimistic about Microsoft.

Reminiscing that before the market opened, Pitino loudly ridiculed Microsoft's IPO policy, mocking Yin Jun and the other three for being crazy about money, everyone couldn't help but cursed Bichi.

Still can’t see it?

This guy did this deliberately, just to give people who want to buy Microsoft stocks a wrong idea, making them feel that the price of Microsoft's stocks is too high and not worth buying at all.

Then he went on a crazy buying spree to get the most shares.

Facts have proved that he really succeeded.

At least during the few minutes when Microsoft jumped short and opened higher, many fund managers who originally wanted to buy hesitated and wanted to wait and see.

Pitino was on full fire from the beginning, trying to buy as quickly as possible.

Therefore, his purchase cost is basically the lowest among all fund companies, about 15% less than the one with the first place, and almost 35% less than the one with the highest purchase price.

What a beast!

The fund managers couldn't help but complain.

Without knowing it, in the minds of others, they are also such people.

Because those who buy the most Microsoft stocks are the group of people who commented in newspapers and on TV some time ago that Microsoft stock seriously exceeded its original value.

It turns out that their purpose is the same, they don’t want others to buy it, but they want to buy it themselves!

Paul Allen and Bill Gates were also shocked by the shamelessness of this group of people.

They couldn't imagine that there was such a way to play.

But thinking about it on the other hand, this also proves that Microsoft is actually very popular and valued by everyone, so I feel happy.

Today's Microsoft listing has turned Microsoft's three largest shareholders into real billionaires.

Yin Jun, who holds 38.5% of the shares, has a book wealth of US$3.08 billion based on Microsoft's closing price today.

The second largest shareholder, Bill Gates, is US$1.764 billion.

The third largest shareholder, Paul Allen, is US$756 million.

This is somewhat surprising.

Microsoft's wealth creation effect has far exceeded that of Apple.

Yin Jun is also the richest person among technology companies.

Well……

It seems that there is not much use in saying this.

Because Yin Jun was originally the richest man in the world.

If I have to go into detail, it is that the Microsoft stock in Yin Jun's hands has added billions of dollars in valuation to his wealth.

That's all.

But for Microsoft, this is a very big thing.

That night, not only was there a very luxurious party in Seattle, but here in New York, Bill Gates also held a cocktail party.

Americans still give this new high-tech company a lot of respect. At least today, most people on the Nasdaq exchange still came.

And because Yin Jun is here, many entrepreneurs looking for opportunities, as well as many CEOs and bosses who want to cooperate with Yin Jun, also come here to try their luck.

As a result, Yin Jun was surrounded by many people as soon as the dinner started.

First, the president of Nasdaq talked to Yin Jun about the possibility of Kirin Computer being launched, then Intel talked to Yin Jun about the development progress of the 586 chip, and then the vice president of Motorola talked to Yin Jun. The problem of mobile phone patent structure.

Yin Jun was talking to them, and a bunch of people nearby were listening.

Regardless of whether it has anything to do with them or not, it is definitely better for these people to listen than not to listen.

Even if it is useless, it still has style when it is used to brag.

Of course, these people are very disciplined. When others are talking, no one will interrupt unless they are people they have known for a long time, or people who are deep in the situation.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be the same as a wet market?

With so many people talking to Yin Jun, there were more or less people standing by to guard him. However, when Gang Leader Qiao came over, the group of people immediately dispersed.

This surprised Yin Jun.

"Stephen, does your reputation in the technology industry in the United States have such a bad reputation?" Yin Jun asked with a smile.

"People who fail are naturally full of shortcomings." Gang Leader Qiao shrugged, "When I succeeded, they swarmed around me like flies. Now it's just that I can see their true colors clearly. I Don’t care about them either.”

According to the character of Gang Leader Qiao who goes his own way, what he said is all the truth.

In fact, not only does he not care about people in the same industry or fund companies, he doesn't even care about his own users.

Otherwise, he would not have developed several computers in a row that users could not understand.

These computers that existed in his imagination and that users would definitely like became the trigger for his final failure.

"I have some free time recently and want to go to Asia." Gang Leader Qiao said calmly while drinking wine, "I am planning to go to Japan. I heard that it is the place where Zen Buddhism is best developed."

"I don't agree with this." Yin Jundang retorted, "The birthplace of Zen is in China. You should go there first."

"Hua Guo..." Gang Leader Qiao began to ponder.

He is not a person who dislikes poverty and loves wealth.

As early as ten years ago, he backpacked all over India alone.

India will look like that in 30 years, let alone the 1970s.

Gang Leader Qiao is very interested in Buddhism, and he is even a Buddhist.

It’s just that he first became interested in Buddhism, then went to India, and then went to Japan after being kicked out of Apple.

Legend has it that the IPOD, IPHONE, and IPAD products finally created by Gang Leader Qiao were all influenced by Japanese Zen Buddhism.

We often say that Japan’s style is abstinent. If you think about it, do Apple’s products also have this style?

To put it even more exaggeratedly, Apple's products are upgraded versions of Sony's products - no matter what the function is, the appearance will make you scream first.

Yin Jun knew about this, but he felt very sorry that Gang Leader Qiao did not go to China.

So now that he had the opportunity, he said directly: "Actually, there are many sects of Buddhism in China. In addition to Zen, there are many others. You can go and experience them all, and then go to Japan. It's not too late." ! I have acquaintances there who can help you solve many life and language problems!"

Gang leader Qiao doesn't care about life or anything.

But when I heard about the Buddhist sects in China, I became a little interested.

He pondered and said, "Well, I'll go to China for a month first, and then go to Japan."

"good!"

Yin Jun nodded and said, "I will have someone contact you tomorrow to check your schedule."

"Thank you!" Gang Leader Qiao raised his glass and smiled.

While Yin Jun responded with a smile, he also thought that he must tell Brother Wei that even if Gang Leader Qiao wanted to go west, he couldn't take him there, just stay in the inland area.

"By the way, I want to change my investment ideas recently and want to buy a better computer animation studio. Do you have any good recommendations?" After talking about the business, Gang Leader Qiao brought up another one.

"Um?"

Yin Jun was slightly startled.

In the past life, in 1986 this year, Gang Leader Qiao bought the animation studio owned by George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, and this became the famous Pixar animation!

Of course, Pixar Animation has been taken over by Yin Jun in this life, and there is no fate with Gang Leader Qiao anymore.

Originally, Yin Jun thought that Gang Leader Qiao just bought Pixar at the right time, but he didn't expect that he actually bought it because he was interested?

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

Gang Leader Qiao has never been in the habit of buying things randomly, especially for the company.

It’s unclear what the reason was, but now it seems that it’s true that he is interested in computer animation.

"The largest animation production company in Hollywood right now is your Disney Animation. You must be the most familiar with this industry." Gang Leader Qiao said, minding his own business, "There are hundreds of such animation companies in the United States. Do any of your subordinates have any?" Having said that, which company has more promise?"

After thinking about it, Yin Jun smiled and said: "I don't have any recommendations for good companies. But there is a very good talent who I can recommend to you."

"who?"

"Chris Wedge, a very good talent in the animation industry." Yin Jun said, "He is in New York now. You can talk to him. If you are interested, you can ask him to form a team and make excellent products." animation to come.”

"Okay! I'll go take a look."

Gang Leader Qiao didn't think much about it and was going to see Chris Wedge before talking about it.

You know, he is very picky. If he is not qualified, he will not recruit this person.

Yin Jun smiled and didn't say anything more.

Gang Leader Qiao, Gang Leader Qiao, I have taken away your Pixar animation, and now I will give you an animation company that is similar to it.

The founder of Blue Sky Studio, one of the three giants in the future animation industry, is right in front of you. If you can catch it in your hands, your future achievements and wealth in this regard will not be much worse than Pixar!
