The First Thousand and Fifty-Seven Chapters Parted Ways (Four/Ten)
Bill Gates never thought that Feng Yu would talk to him like this, with an extremely tough attitude.
Even sitting with the President of the United States, Bill? Gates' momentum has never been weak. But today, he suddenly found that his aura seemed to be much weaker.
He is the richest man in the world, and his personal assets are already 1.5 times that of Feng Yu, and the gap is widening. The outside world says that after Feng Yu's company goes public, it may surpass him, but Bill Gates doesn't think so.
After the release of win98, Microsoft's revenue increased, and its stock price soared. By the end of this year, Microsoft's stock price is expected to double again, and at that time, his personal assets are expected to reach 90 billion US dollars.
And Feng Yu's shares in Microsoft are only about 26 billion US dollars, how can he compare with him? Feng Yu's other investments can also be considered to have very good profits, so Feng Yu's assets can reach 45 billion U.S. dollars, and it will definitely not reach 50 billion U.S. dollars. He may double kill Feng Yu!
The gap between him and Feng Yu is so big, and it will get bigger and bigger in the future, yet Feng Yu dares to stare at him!
Although he also believes that even if Feng Yu is kicked out of Microsoft's board of directors, it will not have a great impact on Feng Yu's assets. After all, many of Feng Yu's investments have nothing to do with software.
But at this time, he really had this idea in his heart, and immediately fired Feng Yu from Microsoft's board of directors! Feng Yu has only a small amount of voting rights, he can nominate directors, but he cannot decide who will be the directors!
And in this way, it is bound to tear each other apart with Feng Yu, and the game console industry that they have just cooperated with will be affected. More importantly, the sales of Microsoft's software in China will be greatly affected.
He decided to test Feng Yu first. If Feng Yu is willing to raise the sales price of Microsoft's software in China, then he doesn't have to care about this matter.
A not-so-big hardware manufacturer really has nothing to do with Microsoft. He doesn't believe that those hardware manufacturers or PC manufacturers would dare to tear themselves apart from Microsoft and hurt each other.
"Feng, I'm thinking from Microsoft's point of view, and I'm also from your point of view. No matter how much you invest in other companies, Microsoft's income must be the largest, surpassing your investment company. This year Microsoft You also know how well Microsoft's software sales are. Microsoft's stock price can double by the end of this year! At that time, the company's market value will exceed 600 billion U.S. dollars. How much money you can earn from those Microsoft stocks you hold? Are you clear?"
"Well, so what?" Feng Yu asked back.
Yeah, so what?
Bill Gates can't let Feng Yu spit out the Microsoft stock held by Feng Yu, so Feng Yu can make money when Microsoft makes money. But Feng Yu's other industries make money, but Microsoft can't get a share of it.
From this point of view, it seems that Feng Yu can completely ignore Microsoft. Whether he is a director or not, Feng Yu can make a lot of money.
"Feng, but if the hardware company you invest in is regarded as Microsoft's plan, then Microsoft will inevitably receive more criticism, which will have a major impact on Microsoft's stock price! Your loss will also be huge."
"I don't care." Feng Yu said lightly.
Even if there is no Microsoft share at this time, Feng Yu is confident that he will surpass Bill Gates and become the world's richest man in five to eight years. The potential of Microsoft is just like this. Maybe the annual share dividends in the future will not be less, but the market value of Microsoft has been falling since the millennium, and even fell by more than 40% within five years!
And Feng Yu's other investments must be growing, and many of them will even skyrocket. Calculated according to the rate of return, Microsoft's rate of return is not great, and it is not even ranked.
This year is the last year of Microsoft's glory. Feng Yu has already planned to gradually cash out the shares of Microsoft this year, at the latest at the beginning of next year, and cash out all of them. Those voting shares can be kept. If he can continue to serve as a director of Microsoft if.
Bill Gates looked at Feng Yu in surprise, what did he say? He doesn't care!
How could it be possible not to care, who would not care about the wealth growth of tens of billions of dollars? Even if it is him,
The richest man in the world will also attach great importance to 10 billion US dollars.
That's ten billion dollars, not a hundred dollars!
"Feng, we have common interests. When we cooperated with game consoles, I already made concessions. This time, I ask you to make concessions, isn't it too much?" Bill Gates said in a deep voice.
"Cooperation is cooperation. That's because I hold the controlling stake in the game console project, and it is easier to succeed. Without Microsoft, I can also make game consoles by myself. We have so many technical reserves just for this. Without me, Microsoft is doomed to fail. Your so-called concession is just a normal business investment choice."
"As for what you said, please let me make a concession. I just asked, why? I made a concession, and Microsoft gets the most benefits, how much can I get? And the company I run by myself, why should I make concessions for Microsoft? If you are willing Let me increase the proportion of voting shares to 10%, then maybe I can consider it." Feng Yu said with a smile.
"It's impossible!" Bill Gates flatly refused.
The proportion of voting shares increased to 10%. If he agrees, who will pay for the shares? Paul and Ballmer definitely won't make it, and neither can other minority shareholders, so he can only do it.
But in this way, his voting rights will not exceed 50%, which will make him lose his control over Microsoft.
And who knows that Feng Yu asked so much for this concession, will he ask for more next time?
Maybe Paul is right, this Feng Yu is an ambitious guy!
For a company that is very powerful in terms of both hardware and software, only Microsoft's confidant suffers from IBM. Does this Feng Yu want to build a second IBM?
Absolutely not!
"Feng, you are a director of Microsoft, you must put Microsoft's interests first!"
"I'm still the controlling shareholder of Eagle Weida, so should I also put Eagle Weida's interests first?" Feng Yu retorted. ℃≡miào℃≡bi℃≡ge℃≡
A director or even a chairman is just a position, and the shareholder is the investor and the boss!
"Feng, if you are like this, then I think you are no longer suitable to be a director of Microsoft." Bill Gates said in a deep voice.
Is it finally here? Feng Yu knew for a long time that Bill Gates would break up with him, but he didn't expect that it would come earlier than expected.
But so what?
It's just a director, if it's wrong, it's wrong. It's just that it's not easy to get the latest news from Microsoft. But he is still a shareholder of Microsoft, and he can also attend Microsoft's shareholders' meeting to learn about Microsoft's situation, but it will be more troublesome. After all, the shareholders' meeting is not held as frequently as the board of directors.
"Bill, is this your decision? Well, from now on, I am no longer a director of Microsoft. I think that in this way, Microsoft will have no reason to interfere with my investment decisions? Bill, in the future you will I regret today's decision!"
