Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

According to statistics from later generations, more than half of the bankrupts in the United States went bankrupt because they could not afford the high medical expenses.

Although Paul is Microsoft's second largest shareholder, second only to Gates, Microsoft has just entered the right track during this period, and it needs to spend money everywhere, and the company has not yet been listed.

The so-called shares, in fact, are just a piece of paper, which can be seen or not spent.

At this time, Gates and Paul are just like Boss Ma who just founded Alibaba. Although many people in the outside world are optimistic about the potential of Microsoft, the worth and wealth of Paul and Gates are just numerical valuations, not hold real wealth.

It is precisely for this reason that Paul sold the company's shares after he fell ill.

To be honest, 20.00% of the shares, based on 2000 million US dollars, the market value of Microsoft is relatively high based on the current estimation of it by the outside world.

Because of this, Microsoft's market value has reached [-] million US dollars.

The reason why Gates and Paul are willing to sell Microsoft shares to Yang Chen is largely because Shen Xu is willing to spend so much money to acquire 20.00% of its shares, which directly increases the market value of Microsoft. , is very beneficial to the Microsoft Xie family company.

Another one is the influence that Yang Chen has now.

As the richest man in the Chinese, or the richest man in the entire Asian region, in the evil money society, even in the United States, Yang Chen has countless admirers.

Being able to get Yang Chen's investment is very helpful for Microsoft's promotion.

In addition, another one is that Shen Xu has obtained the status of director of IBM. With Shen Xu's connection, it will help promote the next cooperation between the two companies.

Compared with IBM, an American giant, Microsoft, which has just started, is really not enough.

Since the 50s, IBM has become the main contractor for the computer development of the US Air Force's automatic defense system, and then IBM entered a period of rapid development.

In [-], when Microsoft was first established, IBM produced four times as many computers as all computer manufacturers in other countries combined.

At this time, IBM has already become a joint enterprise integrating scientific research, production, sales, technical services and education and training.

Since IBM launched the world's first personal computer, the era of personal computers officially began, and the emerging market of personal computers was also born in the United States.

Chapter 834 IBM Shareholder

As a software company, Microsoft has been hoping to reach a further cooperation with IBM.

Although as early as 1980, IBM had selected Microsoft to write key operating system software for its new PC.

However, because the operating system provided by Microsoft at that time was not compiled by them, due to time constraints and complicated programs, Microsoft bought a computer from a programmer in Seattle for $[-]. The right to use the operating system QDOS was provided to IBM after a partial rewrite.

Although this wave of operations has been licensed by IBM, it is not Microsoft's own thing, so IBM has not carried out further cooperation with Microsoft.

In the early days of Microsoft's establishment, it mainly sold BASIC interpreters, so Microsoft especially hoped to reach a cooperation with IBM in this regard.

IBM is the largest personal computer company in the United States today. Once IBM can adopt Microsoft's BASIC interpreter, Microsoft will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to quickly occupy the American market in terms of translators.

However, Microsoft is not the only manufacturer that can produce BASIC interpreters. To obtain an order from IBM, this requires a consensus between Microsoft and IBM's top management.

Although the two companies had cooperated before, that cooperation did not make IBM pay too much attention to Microsoft, at most it was a little optimistic.

Based on this point, Microsoft accepted Yang Chen's investment, not without taking advantage of Yang Chen's current limelight to elevate itself, so as to attract IBM to further cooperate with it.

Shen Xu was in charge of helping Yang Chen manage the investment in the United States after Huo Jianxie left before. IBN Company is one of the most promising companies for Yang Chen to delineate the investment sequence.

Therefore, after learning about this, Shen Xu successively acquired more than 5.00% of IBM shares from the stock market.

By virtue of holding 5.00% of IBM's shares, Shen Xu also obtained a seat on IBM's board of directors and was able to participate in IBM's high-level decisions.

With the status of IBM director, Bill Gates, who has a mine at home, made a lot of concessions in order to make his company develop better.

However, when buying shares, Bill Gates still specifically asked to sign a letter of commitment, asking Shen Xu to guarantee that after Microsoft went public, Yang Chen's investment company would not sell his shares to cash out within one year.

Obviously, Bill Gates is very important to the company he founded. If Paul is not sick and needs money for medical treatment, coupled with Microsoft's next development needs, he is eager to get an order from IBM, maybe He will not accept investment from a foreign company.

Even though Shen Xu had promised not to interfere in Microsoft's internal operations at the beginning of his investment, Bill Gates, as a second-generation mining company, did not believe the face of capitalists these days.

Compared with what he said, he valued the black and white words more.

Of course, Shen Xu is definitely not in charge of that kind of black and white. It is impossible to really say that he will not interfere, and Microsoft has not yet reached the point where he can compromise.

Being able to sign and sell a copy without cashing out within one year of Microsoft's listing, this is Shen Xu's greatest forgiveness after he called Huo Jianxie and asked Yang Chen for instructions through Huo Jianxie.

After understanding the actual situation of Microsoft, Yang Chen asked: "Shen Xu, according to your opinion, do we still have a chance to further increase the shares of Microsoft?"

Shen Xu shook his head in embarrassment and said, "Boss, I'm afraid this is impossible. In order to maintain his own control over Microsoft, that Mr. Gates will not sell the shares he holds."

"As for that Mr. Paul, he has now sold 20.00% of the shares. Although he still has 20.00% of Wu's shares, in order to keep his position as the second largest shareholder, Mr. Paul is obviously unlikely to be in the company. Before going public, continue to sell the company’s shares you hold.”

"Okay then, next you try to help Microsoft, so that they can successfully win the order from IBM and reach a cooperation between the two parties."

There is no way to increase the shares of Microsoft for the time being, Yang Chen doesn't care, Microsoft will go public in a few years, and Bill Gates and Paul will inevitably sell part of the shares to improve their lives.

At that time, he only needed to continue to buy some stocks in the market, so that his shares were second only to Gates, so that he could enjoy Microsoft's future dividends.

The period when Microsoft really took off was not when the company went public a few years later. Although Microsoft went public in [-], the market value of Microsoft broke through [-] million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop, making both Bill Gates and Paul billionaires. It keeps rising day by day.

However, there is still a long time before Microsoft really rises.

The emergence of the Windows95 computer operating system is a sign of the real rise of Microsoft.

The Android system dominates the global mobile phone operating system, and Microsoft's Windows95 operating system, later generations dominate the entire field of computer operating systems.

Yang Chen remembered that one year before entering the 21st century, that is, in 6000, relying on its achievements in the field of operating systems, Microsoft set a record of the highest market value of a listed company in human history with US$[-] billion in one fell swoop.

6000 billion US dollars, although not as high as the trillion-dollar market value of later generations, but based on the current market value of Microsoft, there is a gap of several thousand times in the middle, and it will increase thousands of times in ten years. This is a very scary figure.

Compared to IBM, which is currently being troubled by the US government, Yang Chen values ​​Microsoft's future more, and it is necessary to confess to Shen Xu to help Microsoft grow.

For the second generation of Gates, Yang Chen also wanted to help Microsoft grow and deepen the relationship between each other, so that Microsoft could grow faster than in the previous life.

After the first Internet shock, Microsoft's market value dropped from 6000 billion to 1000 billion, with a price difference of several times in the middle, one in and one out, at least ten times the profit.

For the green dollars, he is willing to bleed, not to mention working hard.

"Sir, the meal and lunch are ready."

"Okay, Aunt Xu, we're coming."

"By the way, Aunt Xu, prepare a few more pairs of bowls and chopsticks today, and the three of them will stay for dinner later."

"Okay, sir"

"Okay, let's talk here first, we'll talk about things after dinner later."

Yang Chen: "Kai Li, I forgot that you are coming here, I don't know if you can get used to Chinese food."

Kelly, "As long as it's not too spicy, I can accept it. Too spicy can cause acne."
