Chapter 750 Hey, Bill (Five/Ten)
Today is Feng Yu's first visit to Microsoft's headquarters, which is located in Redmond, Washington State, a small city. But just because the city has Microsoft, it has become world famous!
Feng Yu is not very familiar with this place, and it is the first time he has come here in two lifetimes.
Microsoft Corporation has divided this area in great detail. Dozens of office buildings stand in a row, and most of these buildings are low-rise buildings with three or four floors. Among them, the top floor of Building No. 34 is the office of Bill Gates. where.
Feng Yu wants to come, he has called Bill Gates before, and Bill Gates has been waiting for Feng Yu. In mid-July of this year, "Forbes" announced the list of the world's billionaires. Bill Gates reached the top for the first time, with a personal asset of 12.9 billion US dollars. He only holds more than 40% of Microsoft's shares, but he has voting rights. Sixty percent!
Many people are optimistic about his company and buy their Microsoft shares, but only one of his good friends, who is also a world-class rich man, Warren Buffett, never buys his company's shares.
Again, Buffett doesn't like technology stocks. He said frankly that Microsoft may have strong profitability in the next ten years, but he is not familiar with it, so he doesn't invest. In fact, there is another more important reason, which is to buy Microsoft stock. Bill Gates will not let Buffett join the board of directors. He is also worried that Buffett will overturn his control. once.
But at this time, there was a mysterious rich man who frantically bought their Microsoft shares through various means. Even buying their Microsoft shares at a high price has to attract the attention of Bill Gates.
He found that all these funds came from Xiangjiang in the east. And a steady stream of injections. In the middle of last year, the two met briefly. At that time, he had a strong interest in this rich oriental man who was younger than him.
What makes him very excited is that this rich man in the East also owns the stock of China's largest computer company. This will be of great help for Microsoft to enter the Chinese market and occupy this market.
At that time, the two had a brief chat and tested each other, but they did not make any decisions. But at the end of last year, this rich man in China. He was taken aback by the fact that he began to sell Microsoft's stock on a large scale.
He thought it was because he hadn't expressed his opinion for a long time,
The other party is dissatisfied, or the other party has found a better partner, such as Apple, IBM, etc. If they cooperate with those companies, they will monopolize the Chinese market. Then Microsoft will lose too much profit in the future.
Their company has researched that with China's development speed, within five years, China's computer penetration rate will increase by a large margin. If they all use their Microsoft systems and software, then the profits will be extremely huge, and even surpass the United States in the future. , It is not a problem to exceed the entire North America. After all, there are too many people in Huaxia, and the potential users are huge.
Bill Gates contacted Feng Yu at that time, and Feng Yu told him that it was only a small capital turnover, and he would buy back Microsoft's stock soon. He still loves Microsoft.
Facts have proved that since March, Feng Yu has bought Microsoft's shares aggressively, and increased his holdings from 13% to 15%.
It's just that Feng Yu is still very low-key, without any publicity, and even many media want to find out the third shareholder of Microsoft, but unfortunately they can't find it at all.
Today, this mysterious rich man is coming to visit Bill Gates.
Some people say that Bill Gates is a person who advocates freedom, and he always provides the most free office environment for Microsoft software engineers.
Some people also say that Bill Gates is a greedy person, because Paul Allen was more important when he founded Microsoft. At first, Microsoft planned to call Allen and Gates company, just because Paul Allen There is no money, and Bill Gates' family is relatively rich, so in the end, Bill Gates accounts for 60% of the company's equity, and Paul Allen accounts for 40%.
Others say that Bill Gates is an irritable guy who always yells at his programmers, "That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard!"
Some people even say that Bill? Gates is a narcissistic person, because Bill? Gates has praised himself in public more than once, and other decisions will not pay attention to the opposition of others!
But none of these can conceal the fact that Bill Gates is a genius, a wizard!
At least Feng Yu himself admires Bill Gates very much. Without Bill Gates, without Microsoft, computers and the Internet would not have developed so fast!
Walking into Bill Gates' office, Feng Yu was a little surprised. This office was much smaller than he imagined, even similar to an ordinary executive. office.
And the layout of the office looks like an ordinary programmer. It seems that Bill Gates can serve as Microsoft's chief software engineer, and it is not blown out. Even now, Bill Gates still insists that he also participates in software development and testing.
"Mr. Feng, I'm glad we met again." Bill Gates stretched out his right hand to Feng Yu.
"Hi, Bill." Feng Yu smiled and shook hands with Bill Gates. At the same time, Bill Gates held him back, and the two gave a warm hug.
"Feng, what do you think of Microsoft?" Bill? Gates asked.
Feng Yu smiled slightly: "Very good, it's better than I imagined, otherwise I wouldn't increase my holdings of Microsoft's stock. Facts have proved that I am not wrong, and the stock price has risen a lot, hasn't it?"
"Hahaha, Feng, it's a wise decision to increase our shareholding in Microsoft." Bill Gates was a little proud.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, Mr. Richest Man in the World."
The smiles on Bill Gates' face became more and more. Becoming the richest man in the world for the first time, when he was forty years old, was indeed something to be very proud of.
It's just that the young man in front of him is only in his early twenties. If his assets are announced, it will definitely be very shocking. After all, this part of Microsoft's stock alone is enough to make him on the list. Compared with this young man, it seems that his achievements are not so amazing.
"Feng, I'm a little curious. Why are you unwilling to be interviewed by reporters? Don't you know that the media's publicity is of great benefit to you? I think Steve will be very happy if you accept the interview."
The Steve Bill Gates mentioned is Steve Forbes, the president and CEO of Forbes Group, the editor-in-chief of Forbes Magazine, and of course, a friend of Bill Gates.
Feng Yu shook his head with a smile: "I don't really like exposure to flash."
"Oh, that's such a pity, maybe you Chinese people are so low-key." Bill Gates shrugged, "By the way, you said that Microsoft has a good opportunity to enter China, is it true?" (unfinished to be continued.)
