At this time, American investors were still so keen on such stocks, which made Feng Yu feel reassured. It is to be expected that Xinlang's stock price will soar after its listing.
I remember in my previous life, after Xinlang and other three major Chinese portals were listed, their stock prices soared in a short period of time. The three founders also appeared on China's rich list, and even briefly appeared on "Forbes". Well, in less than half a year, he fell from the altar again.
Although they are still on the list of China's richest people, they have not been listed on Forbes again in a few years.
Network technology has created many legendary rich people, but similarly, many people are also short-lived. Those who know how to stop in time will make a lot of money. Take Mark Cuban, the owner of the NBA Mavericks, for example. In just a few years, his assets exceeded US$2 billion thanks to the skyrocketing rise in Internet technology stocks.
Then he sold the company without hesitation, exchanged it for cash and other stocks, invested in his favorite basketball, and bought the Mavericks in his hometown.
It is true that his net worth will not skyrocket again in the future, but it will not plummet either, it will just grow slowly and steadily. Not short of money, but also able to run his favorite basketball career, and actually win a championship in the future, Mark Cuban can be said to be a winner in life.
Now Yahu's stock price is also soaring, and Feng Yu feels happy. He found that if the stocks of these companies were sold at their highs from the end of this year to the beginning of next year, then he would definitely be able to raise the funds to acquire AMD.
Just selling the common stocks of Microsoft and Yahu would bring in US$40 billion.
And this money is enough to purchase more than 50% of the shares of AMD Semiconductor. If he becomes the largest shareholder, then he can naturally have the final say in the company.
If that's not enough, let other companies, such as AIWA, etc. also go public, and follow this shareholder trend to make money first.

"Bill, Feng's assets have risen very fiercely during this period. The companies he invested in have gone public one after another, and the stock prices have risen sharply." Paul Allen took a breath of his cigar and looked at Bill Gates.
"His assets have risen dramatically, much higher than at the beginning of the year. But your and my assets are also rising. If he wants to surpass us, he has absolutely no chance!" Bill Gates said confidently.
Microsoft's stock price keeps rising, and Bill Gates' assets now exceed 70 billion U.S. dollars, making many people who want to catch up with him feel desperate.
Only Feng Yu, whose assets are also growing rapidly, has been rated by many magazines such as Forbes as the person most likely to catch up with Bill Gates.
However, there are also some magazines that say the same thing as Bill Gates. Feng Yu can only lag behind and can never catch up with Bill Gates.
The most interesting thing is that many netizens have now spontaneously joined the discussion. Some people believe that Bill Gates will always occupy the position of the world's richest man. Feng Yu will never catch up, and Buffett and others will never catch up.
Some people believe that Feng Yu will soon catch up with Bill Gates, because the subsidiaries of Feng Yu's company are being listed in large quantities, and just in time for this bull market, the stock prices will definitely soar. Then the assets of those subsidiaries can at least double, and Feng Yu's assets will also more than double.
Neither Feng Yu nor Bill Gates came forward to say anything. Instead, netizens quarreled. Those netizens seemed to care more about the news than their own careers.
"Bill, should we talk to Feng? I remember that you exchanged 2% of the voting shares with Feng, indicating that if Feng wanted to leave Microsoft, the shares should be traded to Microsoft's original shareholders first, right? "Paul Allen asked with a wink.
Bill Gates glanced at Paul Allen: "If you want those stocks, you can discuss it with Feng yourself. Now Feng just no longer holds a specific position, he is still a shareholder of Microsoft, and he has no intention of selling Microsoft shares. There’s no reason for him to trade that stock to you.”
From the beginning of the company, Paul Allen was dissatisfied that his shares were too small. But at that time, Bill Gates had more background. Don’t think that Bill Gates was really a self-made man, including Buffett, they all had profound backgrounds.
Think about Li Zekai, who also claims to be self-made, but how much effort did Li Chaoren use
Paul Allen has lost money on most of his investments in the past few years, but has made a small amount of money. He regrets cashing out Microsoft stocks and now wants to increase his holdings. Since the holdings are increased, it is of course the most cost-effective to increase holdings of stocks with voting rights.
But no one wants to sell the voting shares.
Paul Allen smiled and said nothing. He heard that Bill Gates planned to transfer assets to a foundation, so that he could avoid paying a large inheritance tax in the future. How high is the inheritance tax in the United States at this time? The highest is fifty-five percent, and the lowest is eighteen percent!
This tax includes gifts, generation-skipping asset transfers, etc. Anyway, it is a means to stimulate you to spend all your money while you are alive. As for what you will do if your money is gone while you are still alive, you can get a loan.
Just use a few credit cards and cash out repeatedly.
However, charitable funds are a very good means of avoiding taxes. Not only are donations tax-deductible, but they are also tax-free in some aspects, such as inheritance tax.
If Bill Gates wants to cash out his shares, then Paul Allen has a chance to become the largest shareholder, at least with the largest voting rights. In the future, Microsoft will not necessarily listen to anyone.
But looking at today's meaning, it seems that Bill Gates hasn't planned to cash out yet.
"Bill, how is your foundation doing? I heard that Buffett made another donation?"
"Well, Buffett gave me a lot of advice. Regarding investment, I think his opinions are very pertinent." Although Bill Gates is conceited, he is not stupid. In terms of software, he considers himself the world's leader, but in terms of financial investment, he is still not as good as Buffett.
That old guy is called the God of Stocks. Bill Gates hasn't even been called the God of Software!
Bill Gates didn't say anything, which made Paul Allen give up his plan to donate to the foundation. If Bill Gates knew that Paul Allen just asked because he planned to donate, I'm afraid he would regret it.
But just now his mind was filled with the scenes after Feng Yu's companies went public. Lianxiang Yinshan Software Company, Xinlang Company, Naohu Company, and Wangyi Company all became more popular after being listed. Do those companies have potential? Yes, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.
Just because those are Chinese companies
Is it because those investors believe that China is following the old path of the United States and will invest in network technology as a key industry
What Bill Gates was thinking more about was that Feng Yu's company could go public before, but it didn't, but now it suddenly went public. Why is this? (To be continued.)
