Next chapter
Three days later, Bill Gates called Feng Yu, in fact, he made a decision the next day, but it was still slightly delayed for two days, so as not to make Feng Yu think that he was too eager. โฏโงโฅ But in fact, three days was much faster than Feng Yu expected.
"Hi Bill, hi Paul." Paul? Alan was also there, Feng Yu was a little surprised.
Paul? Although Alan is Microsoft's second-largest shareholder, his main focus is on his software company. And Paul? Allen is very fond of sports and has bought many teams, such as the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA. Allen would also buy the Seattle baseball team or something, and he's also known as the richest NBA owner.
Paul? When Allen saw Feng Yu, he also lost his mind for a while, this Feng is too young, he and Bill were still working hard to start a business when they were the age, and this Feng already has a net worth of billions of dollars. Is this Feng's money all earned by himself? But so what, it's not that I don't have money!
actually put forward so many harsh conditions, and he will kill his sharp spirit for a while!
"I don't think I need to introduce you." Bill? Gates said with a smile.
"Paul, your Portland Trail Blazers, it looks like it's going to be hard to get a championship, Jordan is back, isn't he?" Feng Yu said suddenly.
Ma Dan, when Lao Tzu comes in, you will slap your face, if you make me unhappy, then you don't want to be happy!
"Who said that? Jordan didn't come back this year, but he didn't even make it to the finals! Our Trail Blazers are sure to win the championship in five years! "Paul? Alan retorted angrily.
"Really? Why don't we make a bet? If I can buy a team, then I think my team will win the championship faster than yours. Feng Yu said with a smile.
"You can't buy a team because you're not from the United States! And even if you can take a stake, unless you can take a stake in the Bulls or the Rockets, you won't have a chance! โ
"Hey, Paul, Feng, we're here to talk about Microsoft, not the NBA, you like to talk about sports, you can talk about it later." Bill? Gates said dissatisfied.
How much is a team, and if he wants to buy it, he can buy the entire NBA league! A good team is worth hundreds of millions, and an average team is less than 100 million.
That kind of small business, what is there to talk about, Microsoft's big business, is the most important!
Paul? Alan turned his head stupidly and didn't speak, this Feng is so annoying!
"Then let's talk about Microsoft, you agreed to the conditions I said two days ago?" Feng Yu smiled and switched the topic back.
When someone is angry, the more you smile and the more relaxed you look, the more angry the other person becomes, even if you don't say a word.
Isn't that, Paul? Eren is already blowing up!
"We won't agree to any of your conditions!"
Bill? Gates hurriedly grabbed his old friend, didn't he already say it, why did he regret it again?
"Feng, what he means is that he can't fully agree, we hope we can discuss it with you." Bill? Gates said.
Feng Yu shrugged: "Okay, how do you want to discuss?" โ
"First, you want to be on Microsoft's board of directors, of course, but to be on Microsoft's board of directors, you have to put Microsoft's interests first, you understand?"
Put Microsoft's interests first, that is, want to raise prices?
"I'm sorry, I don't understand. Of course, Microsoft's interests must be guaranteed, but my personal interests do not want to be lost. โ
"But you can't let Microsoft suffer in order to make money for yourself, right?" Paul? Alan said angrily.
Feng Yu looked at Paul strangely? Allen: "Paul, what do you mean by that?" What does Microsoft have to lose? I'm helping Microsoft open up the market, the largest market in the world, several times the market in the entire Americas! โ
"What you say sounds good, but we don't know what China's economy is like. We also have a representative office in Huaxia, and it has been more than three years, and Huaxia is still a poor country, most of them are poor! "Paul? Alan sneered.
With a large population, it seems to be a big market, but Africa has a larger population, can it be said that Africa is a big market? In many areas over there, there is no electricity, how to use a computer?
"You know Huaxia, but do you know about me? Microsoft has been represented in Huaxia for three years, so have you counted the growth rate of Huaxia Computer in recent years? Have you counted the level of economic growth in China in recent years? Have you counted the growth of the wealthy in China? None of this has been counted? You should have counted the overall economic growth of China, right? What about the South American market, which is more important than what you are looking for now? The market of a country is larger than the market of a continent, which side do you think is more important? โ
Although there were many detours in the early days, after the millennium, China's economic growth made the whole world look at it. Even if it is not too dazzling now, it is definitely not very bad, and Huaxia will soon be no longer a poor country in the eyes of the rest of the world.
"Since you said that China's economy is growing rapidly, then Microsoft should treat everyone equally, and the price of systems and application software should be the same as other countries." Paul? Alan said proudly.
Didn't you say that Huaxia is rich? So why sell at a low price?
"Because of the concept of consumption. A poor man who has worked hard for many years and has a little money, do you think he is a person who will spend lavishly? Saving has penetrated into his heart and will form a habit! If you insist on selling at a high price, then I'm sure that Microsoft's system disk will definitely not sell much. In fact, cracking Microsoft's system is not that difficult. โ
Paul? Allen's face changed greatly: "You want to do piracy ~ version?" That's against the law! โ
"It's not that I'm going to do it, but those users do it themselves, can you know, who used the genuine version, who used the pirated ~ version? Can you still go into someone's home and search it? Low price + bundling, is the most correct approach, this year, even if you want to dominate the P market in China, believe it or not? โ
Bill? Gates stops Paul? Alan, these two are about to quarrel, Paul is not an irritable person, what's going on today?
"Feng, I don't want to argue with you, I'll put forward the conditions after our research, if you can accept it, then we will cooperate, if you can't accept it, we can only give up cooperating with you."
Feng Yu made a gesture of please, picked up the coffee, and took a sip. And then glanced at Paul? Allen's glance was full of provocation.
"Paul and I will each exchange one percent of the stock for you, so that you have two percent of the voting stock in your hand, and I will nominate you to the board of directors, but can you tell me what you are good at and what position you want?"
"On the Huaxia market, I have the final say, I can ensure that Microsoft is well implemented in Huaxia, and I don't care about anything else."
"Yes, then you will be the vice president of the Asia Pacific region, responsible for the China market. This one, we can be considered to have discussed. Twenty dollars, this is my bottom line, and it is also the lowest price in the world, this price is tied to the computer you even think, it should not increase the cost much, after all, your tariffs on electronic products in China are so high, you still have a great price advantage! โ
Feng Yu thought about it, the price of Microsoft's system in other regions at this time is far more than twenty dollars, and this is also a gift of offie office software, etc., the price is already very favorable and acceptable.
"Okay, I'll take a step back, I agreed to this condition." (To be continued.) )8
