Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty Fourth Director Who Is Not Doing His Job Properly

Microsoft's regular board meeting, including Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who was often absent from the company, both attended, but one director did not show up. He just asked the secretary to call over because something was delayed.

"Hmph, some people occupy a seat but don't do the corresponding work. Such a person shouldn't sit in that seat anymore!" Paul Allen snorted coldly, and at the same time glanced at the empty chair .

The expressions of the other directors were also not very good. They all thought that Director Feng was a little too crazy. Although you are the third largest shareholder of the company, you can't ignore other people like this, right?

Bill Gates also felt a little uncomfortable. Although Microsoft's software's market share in China has been rising steadily, and the goal has been accomplished very well, Microsoft has not made any money. The cooperation price with Lianxiang couldn't be lower.

As far as Feng Yu's work is concerned, it has really been completed, and it has been done very well. But you can't stop coming to the company every day. Although you are a shareholder and director, I still have to work in the company often!

If you are just an ordinary shareholder and you want to invest and make money, then of course you can not come to the company. But you are still a director of Microsoft, the core management!

"I heard that Director Feng took a female companion out to play every day, and I heard that he went to Boeing two days ago to plan to buy a helicopter." A director said.

"I also heard that Director Feng went to Amazon and said he wanted to invest in that small company. Is there anything worth investing in in such a small company?" Another director asked.

The other directors also began to talk about Feng Yu's negligence. This time, the board of directors turned into a criticism meeting, but Ballmer didn't speak.

The other directors didn't notice, but Bill Gates and Paul Allen did.

Paul Allen asked, "Steve, Feng is the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region you are in charge of. I want to hear about the business development in the Asia-Pacific region."

Ballmer said proficiently: "The market share in the Asia-Pacific region has been increasing. Except for a few regions such as island countries and India, most of them have become the first, whether it is operating systems, office software, or even IE browsers. Among them The increase in the Huaxia region is the largest, and Director Feng's work has been completed very well."

Paul? Allen is very dissatisfied, I want you to say something you don't know? You fucking praised that kid!

"He doesn't come to work in the company. As the president of the Asia-Pacific region, why shouldn't you take care of it?" Paul Allen continued to ask.

Ballmer looked very embarrassed: "Paul,

Feng may not even ask for a salary, including his secretary's salary, which is paid by himself. He said that the company didn't pay him a salary, so of course he doesn't have to come to work, and I don't know how to refute him, can you teach me? "

Paul Allen was about to explode. At the beginning, he said that Feng Yu's salary should not be too high, because Feng Yu didn't have much work. Feng Yu directly said that he didn't want a penny of salary. excitation. Even later, Secretary Feng Yu paid for it himself. He thought that he had finally embarrassed Feng Yu, but unexpectedly, Feng Yu was waiting for him here.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with not going to work without a salary. And he often doesn't go to work. In fact, he is the one who is the least qualified to talk about Feng Yu. Bill Gates is still in the company at least three days a week.

"Okay, I'll talk to Feng later, so don't discuss this matter. After all, without Feng, Microsoft would never have achieved such good results in the Chinese market. Waiting for Chinese users, three to five years later, After getting used to using our Microsoft system and software, other software companies in the Chinese market should also go bankrupt. By then, we will restore the price to be consistent with other regions, and our profits will definitely skyrocket at that time!" Bill Gates Said confidently.

This is also the real reason why Bill Gates promised Feng Yu to give Lianxiang a super low price. To put it bluntly, China's economic level is not as good as those of Europe and the United States, and consumption concepts need to be cultivated urgently. Seize the market first, and after the market is completely occupied, increase the price, and the profits will naturally come.

Even if the price is so low now, it's still profitable, isn't it?

After Bill Gates finished speaking, the others fell silent. No one, including Paul, can refute this. Microsoft was able to develop at the beginning because it signed an agreement with IBM, and then continued to sign agreements with other PC companies to expand the market.

In the end, wouldn't they be able to clamp down on those PC companies in turn? Profits also far exceed those of those companies. This model is copied to the Chinese market. Although it is more extreme, but think about how big the market is in China. If the price can be the same as that of Europe and the United States, then Microsoft's profit will definitely increase by at least 50%!

...

When Microsoft held the board meeting, Feng Yu, a director who they said was not doing business properly, was signing a contract with Jeff, and he formally invested in the contract of Amazon.

Since he signed, he has been the largest shareholder of Amazon, and he also let Ralph get in touch with other shareholders. After testing it out, no shareholder has ever thought of selling Amazon like Jeff. Lose shares, but they all want to earn some, that is, demand a premium.

For Feng Yu, this is not a problem at all. As long as Jeff is still in Amazon, and as long as those managers that Jeff values ​​are still in Amazon, Amazon is worthy of Feng Yu's continued investment.

For this capital injection, Feng Yu asked to keep a low profile as much as possible. Of course Amazon can promote it, but Feng Yu doesn't want to appear on the screen. He told Jeff that declaring to the media that there is a mysterious rich man investing in Amazon will arouse the curiosity of others, and the publicity effect is guaranteed to be better.

Moreover, Feng Yu also learned a gossip, which was told by Ralph, saying that Jeff was also selling off his securities, etc., and seemed to be planning to acquire some shares of other shareholders of Amazon.

In fact, Feng Yu is very happy to hear this news, which means that if Jeff wants to invest all his property in the Amazon, he will be completely tied to Feng Yu's chariot.

When leaving Amazon, Feng Yu received a call from Ballmer.

"Feng, Paul and others have complained about you not coming to the company. I think you'd better talk to Bill."

Ballmer believes that it is better for Feng Yu to take the initiative to talk to Bill Gates than Bill Gates to talk to Feng Yu.

"Okay, thanks a lot, my friend."

Feng Yu actually wanted to chat with Bill Gates, he thought he should take another long vacation or something. Next, he will go to New York to work for a while, and then return to China, which will take at least a few months.

If you have any questions, you can call or send an email. There is no need to sit in the office every day, right?

"Hi, Bill, I'm Feng, and I want to tell you that I'm going to take a long vacation."
