Next chapter
Today is the first time Feng Yu has come to Microsoft's headquarters, located in Redmond, Washington, a small city. ←, but because of the city, Microsoft became world-famous
Feng Yu was not very familiar with this place, and it was the first time in his life that he had come here.
Microsoft has divided this area into a very detailed area, with dozens of office buildings standing up, and most of these buildings are three- or four-story low buildings, of which the top floor of Building 34 is where Bill Gates' office is located.
Feng Yu is coming over, he has already called Bill Gates before, and Bill Gates has been waiting for Feng Yu. In mid-July this year, Forbes released the list of the world's billionaires, and Bill Gates topped the list for the first time, with a personal net worth of $12.9 billion, and he only holds more than 40% of Microsoft's shares, but the voting rights account for 60%.
Many people are optimistic about his company and buy their Microsoft shares, but only one of his good friends, Warren Buffett, who is also a world-class billionaire, never buys his company's shares.
Again, Buffett doesn't like technology stocks, and he admitted that Microsoft may have strong profitability in the next ten years, but he is not familiar with it, so he does not invest. In fact, there is a more important reason, that is, after buying Microsoft stock, Bill Gates will not let Buffett enter the board of directors, and he is also worried that Buffett will subvert his control, after all, it is not the first time that Buffett has speculated in stocks.
At this time, there was a mysterious rich man who frantically bought their Microsoft shares, through various means, and even bought their Microsoft shares at a high price, which had to attract the attention of Bill Gates.
He found that all these funds came from Xiangjiang in the East. And it's constantly being injected. In the middle of last year, the two met briefly, and at that time he was interested in this Oriental rich man who was younger than him. There was a lot of interest.
What excites him is that this rich man from the East. There are also stocks of the largest computer companies in China, which will be of great help to them Microsoft to break into the China market and occupy the market.
At that time, the two had a brief chat and tested each other, but they didn't make any decisions. But at the end of last year, this rich man in China began to sell Microsoft shares on a large scale. He was taken aback.
He thought it was because he didn't express his position for a long time, the other party was dissatisfied, or the other party found a better partner, such as Apple, IB, etc., if it cooperated with those companies and monopolized the Chinese market, then Microsoft would lose too much profit in the future.
Their company has researched that with the development speed of Huaxia, within five years, the computer penetration rate in Huaxia will increase by a large margin. If they all use their Microsoft systems and software, then the profits will be incomparably huge, and even surpass the United States in the future. It is not a problem to surpass the whole of North America, after all, there are too many people in Huaxia and the potential users are huge.
Bill Gates contacted Feng Yu at the time, and Feng Yu told him that he was just using a little capital turnover and would buy back Microsoft's shares immediately, and he still loved Microsoft.
And it turns out that since March, Feng Yu has been buying Microsoft shares on a large scale. And from the previous 13 percent, the increase has increased to 15 percent.
It's just that Feng Yu is still very low-key. There was no publicity, and even a lot of media wanted to find out about this third shareholder of Microsoft. It's a pity that I can't find it at all
And 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's software engineers.
Some people also say that Bill Gates is a greedy person, because when Microsoft was founded, Paul Allen was more important, and Microsoft was originally going to call Allen and Gates Company, just because Paul Allen had no money, and Bill Gates's family was relatively wealthy, so in the end, the company's equity was Bill Gates accounted for 60%, and Paul Allen accounted for 40%.
It was also said that Bill Gates was an irritable person who always yelled at his programmers: "This is the stupidest 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, while other decisions will not be made in heeding the opposition of others
But none of this can hide the fact that Bill Gates is a genius and a genius
At least Feng Yu himself admires Bill Gates very much, without Bill Gates, without Microsoft, computers, networks, etc. would not have developed so quickly
Walking into Bill Gates's office, Feng Yu was a little surprised, this office was much smaller than he imagined, and even similar to ordinary executives, it was not at all a super spacious office that occupied one floor by one person as Feng Yu imagined.
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 is also involved in the development and testing of software.
"G, it's nice we met again." Bill Gates stretched out his right hand at Feng Yu.
"Hi Bill." Feng Yu shook hands with Bill Gates with a smile, and was pulled by Bill Gates at the same time, and the two came to a cordial hug.
"Von, what do you think of Microsoft?" asked Bill Gates.
Feng Yu smiled slightly: "Very good, even better than I imagined, otherwise I would not have increased my holdings of Microsoft stock." As it turns out, I'm not wrong, the stock price has gone up quite a bit, hasn't it?"
"Hahaha, Feng, it's a wise decision to increase your holdings of our Microsoft stock." Bill Gates was a little smug.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you, Mr. the richest man in the world."
Bill Gates has more smiles on his face, and becoming the richest man in the world for the first time is indeed a very proud thing when he is forty years old.
It's just that the young man in front of him is only in his early twenties, and if the assets are announced, it will definitely be very amazing, after all, this part of Microsoft's stock alone is enough to put 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 reluctant to be interviewed by reporters, don't you know, the publicity of the media is very beneficial to you, I think if you are interviewed, Steve will be very happy."
The Steve that Bill Gates is talking about is Steve Forbes, the president of Forbes Group, EO, and the editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine, and of course, a friend of Bill Gates.
Feng Yu smiled and shook his head: "I don't like exposure to flash very much. ”
"Oh, that's a pity, maybe you Huaxia people are so low-key." Bill Gates shrugged, "By the way, you said that Microsoft's opportunity to enter China has arrived, is it true?"
