Today is the first time that Feng Yu has come to Microsoft's headquarters, which is located in Redmond, Washington State, USA, a not very big city. ~, but because of this city, Microsoft has become world-famous!
Feng Yu was not very familiar with this place, and it was his first time in his life.
Microsoft has divided this area in great detail. Dozens of office buildings have stood up. Most of these buildings are short buildings with three or four floors. The top floor of Building 34 is the office of Bill Gates. location.
Feng Yu wanted to come over. He had already called Bill Gates before, and Bill Gates had been waiting for Feng Yu. In mid-July of this year, "Forbes" announced the list of the world's billionaires. For the first time, Bill Gates's shareholding accounted for 60% of the voting rights!
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 admitted frankly 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, and that is to buy Microsoft stock. Bill Gates will not let Buffett join the board of directors. He is also worried that Buffett will subvert his control. After all, Buffett's stock speculation is not the first time he has become a banker. Once.
But at this time, there was a mysterious rich man who was crazy about acquiring their Microsoft shares. He used various means to even acquire their Microsoft shares at high prices. This had to attract the attention of Bill Gates.
He discovered that all these funds came from Xiangjiang in the East, and were continuously injected. In the middle of last year, the two met briefly. At that time, he had a strong interest in this oriental rich man who was younger than him.
What makes him very excited is that this oriental rich man also owns the stocks of China's largest computer company, which will be of great help to them, Microsoft, to enter the Chinese market and occupy the market.
At that time, the two briefly chatted and tested each other, but neither made any decision. But at the end of last year, this rich man from China.
He was shocked when he started selling Microsoft stock on a large scale.
He thought it was because he had not expressed his position for a long time and the other party was dissatisfied, or the other party had found better partners, such as Apple and IBM. If he cooperated with those companies and monopolized the Chinese market, Microsoft would lose too much in the future. Profits were made.
Their company has studied it at China's development speed. In five years, China's computer penetration rate will increase significantly. If they all use their Microsoft systems and software, the profits will be extremely huge. Even surpassing the United States or all of North America in the future will not be a problem. After all, China has too many people and huge potential users.
Bill Gates contacted Feng Yu at that time. Feng Yu told him that he was just using a little capital for turnover and would immediately buy back Microsoft's shares. He still loves Microsoft.
Facts have proved that since March, Feng Yu has been aggressively acquiring Microsoft shares, and increased his holdings from the previous 13% to 15%.
But Feng Yu still kept a low profile and did not carry out any publicity. Even many media wanted to find this third shareholder of Microsoft, but unfortunately they could not be found at all.
Today, this mysterious rich man is coming to visit Bill Gates.
Some people say that Bill Gates is a man who advocates freedom. He always provides Microsoft software engineers with the most free office environment.
Some people also say that Bill Gates is a greedy person, because when he founded Microsoft, Paul Allen was more important. Initially, Microsoft was going to be called Allen and Gates Company, just because of Paul Allen. There is no money, and Bill Gates' family is relatively wealthy, so in the end, Bill Gates holds 60% of the company's equity and Paul Allen holds 40%.
Others say that Bill Gates is an irritable person who always yells at his programmers: "This is the stupidest idea I have ever heard!"
Some people even say that Bill Gates is a narcissistic person, because Bill Gates has praised himself in public more than once, but he will not pay attention to the objections of others when making other decisions!
But none of these can conceal the fact that Bill Gates is a genius and a wizard!
At least Feng Yu himself admires Bill Gates very much. Without Bill Gates and without Microsoft, computers, the Internet, etc. would not have developed so fast!
When he walked into Bill Gates' office, Feng Yu was a little surprised. The office was much smaller than he expected. It was almost the same as an ordinary executive. It was not at all what Feng Yu had imagined. It was a super spacious space occupied by one person on the first floor. 's office.
And the layout of the office looks like that of an ordinary programmer. It seems that Bill Gates' ability to serve as Microsoft's chief software engineer is not just a boast. Even now, Bill Gates still insists that he also participates in the development and testing of software.
"Mr. Feng, I'm glad we meet again." Bill Gates extended his right hand to Feng Yu.
"Hi, Bill." Feng Yu smiled and shook hands with Bill Gates. At the same time, he was pulled by Bill Gates, and the two had a cordial 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 have increased my holdings of Microsoft shares. Facts have proved that I was not wrong, and the stock price has risen a lot, hasn't it?"
"Hahaha, Feng, it is a wise decision to increase our holdings of Microsoft stock." Bill Gates was somewhat proud.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet, Mr. Richest Man in the World."
Bill Gates has more smiles on his face. Becoming the richest man in the world for the first time at the age of forty is indeed something to be proud of.
It's just that the young man in front of him is only in his early twenties. If his assets were announced, it would definitely be very shocking. After all, just this part of Microsoft's shares would be 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 unwilling to be interviewed by reporters? Don't you know that media publicity is of great benefit to you? I think Steve will be very happy if you accept an interview.
"
The Steve Bill Gates is talking about is Steve Forbes, who is also the president and CEO of Forbes Group, and the editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine. Of course, he is also a friend of Bill Gates.
Feng Yu smiled and shook his head: "I don't like being exposed to flash lights."
"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 that true?" (Unfinished) to be continued.)
