On PBS's "Wall Street Weekly" program, a guest said, "...... There is no doubt that Microsoft's actions are not illegal and not illegal, but the relative concentration of equity does harm the rights and interests of minority shareholders. Therefore. White Lotus's accusations are well-founded. Personally, I believe that in order to dispel investors' doubts, Microsoft should take the initiative to issue new shares or Mr. Bill Gates to reduce his holdings. ”

Another guest objected: "...... Don't forget that Microsoft was founded by Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Allen, and the development of Microsoft relies on the R&D and operation of the team headed by them, and it is not a concentration of equity formed by strong funds. It's hard to imagine what Microsoft would have become without Bill Gates and Allen? Therefore, for the sake of Microsoft's steady development and for investors to obtain good returns, these two founders should be given sufficient equity. ”

“……”

At the end of the program, the famous financial host Richinson made the final comment: "In any case, any amendment to the Securities Law needs to be passed by Congress." And it's not a simple process. As for the weak person this time, the White Lotus Company, according to the law, Mr. Bill Gates can indeed ignore it. But I personally hope that as the two major shareholders of Microsoft, it is better to have a frank and honest communication calmly, eliminate possible differences, and also make Microsoft's development healthier. Thanks, this is Wall Street of the week, friends, see you next week......"

Hosted by Rickinson, "Weekly Wall Street" is one of the most watched financial programs in the United States. Richkinson's in-depth commentary on current affairs and clear and steady financial analysis attract a large number of viewers from financial professionals to ordinary people every week.

By this time, the incident had been fermenting for three days, and Microsoft had remained silent to the outside world, undoubtedly using the most common and effective public relations method - cold treatment.

Bill Gates is indeed very educated, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper. Originally, no matter how Microsoft's other shares changed, it would not affect his and Allen's control of Microsoft at all. Therefore, for any move of the White Lotus, Bill Gates is a neutral observer.

In addition, if White Lotus applies for a meeting, although they still do not reach 5% of the equity, for the sake of the face of Microsoft's fourth largest shareholder, Bill Gates will definitely send an invitation. It's not a big deal to take a break for lunch and have a chat.

However, now, ...... White Lotus himself "made a mistake in the acquisition" in the capital market, but inexplicably blamed Bill Gates and Allen? Even if you didn't apply at all, the whole of North America already knew that it seemed that you were quite domineering and flatly rejected their request? It is even difficult to justify, and it is easy to get darker and darker. In that case, let's do it according to the rules!

Traditionally, more than 5% of the majority shareholders enjoy certain privileges, including easy access to the company's CEO. Less than 5% can only make an appointment request, but basically do not get a response. The reason is also quite simple, if a shareholder who only has 1 share of Microsoft can meet with Bill Gates very casually, then Bill Gates will not be able to work at all. Of course, every shareholder has the right to express their opinions, but if you have anything to say, go to the shareholders' meeting and say it!

At Jiang Zhijiao's home, Jing Jian tasted red wine while watching the end of the TV show: "This wine is good." ”

Jiang Zhijiao sat down and asked with a smile, "Why did you think of coming here today?"

Putting down the fruit bowl on the coffee table, Alice also sat down on the side, looking at Jing Jian curiously.

Jing Jian raised his wine glass to Jiang Zhijian and his wife, and said with a smile: "I'm in a bad mood, I'm going for a ride." Just as he was passing by, he came in and sat down. There are a few stewards in the family who are chattering, saying that this acquisition wastes too much money, so it is supervised. Hehe. ”

"Then it's inconvenient for you to come out in the future?" Jiang Zhijiao asked anxiously.

"Eating and waiting to die, action is definitely free. Jing Jian didn't seem to care, "It's just that I can't take a break from school next semester, and I'm really going to study." And I won't be allowed to interfere in the business here for the time being. Just sign and get the money, and you don't have to do anything else. , what kind of vision do they have? I wonder if Microsoft will have a bright future in the future?"

Ignoring Jing Jian's last complaint, Jiang Zhijiao smiled and comforted: "Isn't that good, just to be able to go to college to pick up girls?"

And Jing Jian smiled and waved his hand: "Don't talk about this." Brother Jiang, I just want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"

Unable to figure out Jing Jian's intentions for a while, Jiang Zhijiao could only answer very vaguely: "What are your plans?" Take care of your own company, and drink with you Xiaojian when you have time." Your brother Jiang always has to support his family, haha. ”

Jing Jian, on the other hand, seemed a little dissatisfied: "I didn't say you, what about your Brother Jiang's ambitions? What kind of tossing power does your small company have? Although I can't interfere anymore, there is still a way to arrange a few people." Brother Jiang, you pick it yourself, I have three companies on hand now, Seed Entertainment, you ...... Oh, and if Alice passes, let you take full control of it, plus a 20% dividend. If you want to go to White Lotus, you will be in charge of the purchase business in China, and the deputy general manager will be treated, and Alice will be the department manager. If you go to the well, like Jetton, you're the CEO, and you can each be in charge of a piece of the big stall over there anyway. Hey, I originally wanted to make some achievements at Microsoft, and our brothers could work together to do a big job, but now ...... Hey!"

Jiang Zhijiao immediately understood that this was Jing Jian's "arrangement before leaving". This is not the time to be modest, who knows when this eldest young master will be able to "re-emerge from the rivers and lakes"? Grasping the benefits in time is the king.

That seed entertainment will definitely not consider it, although it seems that the treatment is the most generous, but firstly, I don't understand it at all, and secondly, it was bought by this eldest young master on a whim, and if it loses the subsequent financial support, it may not be able to support it for a few years.

As for the White Lotus ......, it seems to be thriving, but Kent also seems to be in a state, and there is an original team, if it passes like this, it will be lonely, and it will be difficult to embezzle a plane ticket.

And ...... the well of Jeton? After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Zhijiao immediately decided: "I'll go to the well." ”

"Hey!" Jing Jian seemed a little regretful, "I knew that Brother Jiang would pick that one." What's so good? Or in Chinese mainland, it will not be easy for our brothers to meet in the future. Forget it, tomorrow afternoon, you and Alice will go to the well and talk to Jetton himself!"
