As a serious financial newspaper, no matter how sensational the headline is, it must not be as alarmist as a tabloid, but at least it needs to have something to say. So the content of this report is quite detailed.

At first, of course, it was a normal comment on Microsoft, and it was clear that the journalist was a high-tech advocate and fanatical follower, and expressed his heartfelt congratulations to Bill Gates and Allen for becoming billionaires, and also briefly reviewed the history of Microsoft.

Then, it is a comprehensive introduction to high-tech industries such as computers, and highlights that the entire industry will achieve rapid development, and finally predicts that future high-tech billionaires will spring up one after another, creating a new American dream one after another.

However, in the second half of the article, the conversation suddenly changed, and the article was full of spicy sarcasm: "...... On the day Mr. Bill Gates became a billionaire, the small company issued a tender offer to all shareholders of Microsoft to ...... Note that at the closing price of the day, the acquisition is $50 per share. God, it's $50? Don't they know that such a high-quality stock needs to be bought at a premium? I can already imagine that when the next trading day opens, Microsoft's stock price jumps to $80, and they look dumbfounded......"

“...... If there is anything more ridiculous than being stupid once, it must be stupid twice...... When they bought up the restricted shares for $170, the executives of this company must have a lot of joy in their hearts, right? Really shout congratulations, you made it! And ...... The stock price is back to normal, and now it's only over $70!Haha, please forgive me for gloating, but I really can't help but laugh at such stupid behavior......"

“...... In fact, people make mistakes, and the same is true for investing, and it is not impossible to learn a lesson and replace your idiotic investment advisors. But the hilarious thing is that this White Lotus Network International is very serious. Oh my God, they are really serious, saying that they want to participate in Microsoft's operation and correct the deviations in Microsoft's R&D. I was curious, so I looked up the registration information of the White Lotus Company, and they were actually a mail-order company, which specialized in buying those poor mothers who attracted me, God bless her, and those low-quality jewelry? I don't want to judge a certain industry or a certain company, but a mail-order company suddenly wants to instruct the respected Mr. Bill Gates on how to run Microsoft? I don't think there's anything more ridiculous than that......

“......”

Jing Jian put down the newspaper with a smile, and for this report, he sent out $20,000 through Big Black Berry. American journalists still have a very "professional ethics", and after receiving money, they will never make false reports, and all they say is the truth.

......

In the early morning, in front of the White Lotus's office building, several reporters appeared for the first time. News organizations in the United States are quite competitive, and they attach great importance to copyright, and they cannot be reprinted casually, so they basically will not let go of every news clue.

Of course, although yesterday's report caused a certain amount of repercussions, the vast majority of readers read it as a tidbit or a joke. Therefore, most of today's reporters are tabloids or newcomers who do not have a large circulation, and they are the only two sent by local TV stations, and they are all interns who have just joined the station.

Still, when Kent's car arrived, the reporters were very dedicated to the reporters. When Kent got out of the car, the reporters asked, "Mr. Kent, did you read yesterday's report?"

"Do you have any comment on this?"

"For what purpose did White Lotus acquire Microsoft?"

"Did your acquisition fail?"

"Who will be responsible for this, and will you take the blame for your resignation?"

“......”

Generally speaking, for such a malicious journalist siege, the average person will remain silent, hide in the company, out of sight and out of mind. And with such an inconspicuous news clue, reporters are not interested in staying for a long time. At most, wait until noon, find a way to interview a few White Lotus staff, and then go home and find their own mothers. And such news material may not even be interested in editing, let alone reporting.

However, to everyone's surprise, Kent suddenly stopped and nodded to the reporters: "Then I'll say a few words......"

"Huh?" After a brief moment of consternation, the reporters took out their interview machines and pen and paper, but a voice suddenly sounded behind them, "Sir, can you wait?"

Everyone saw that the trainee cameraman of the TV station was not ready to shoot. Amid a good-natured laugh, the young videographer finally got to grips with it, and Kent began the formal interview:

"First of all, we are a strategic investment in Microsoft and will not be affected by short-term stock price fluctuations. Moreover, our team of investment advisors is very professional, and our company is very satisfied with their work and sincerely appreciates it. ”

"We didn't want to comment on the false report, we just felt quite angry. It is not true that our goal is a little bit worse, just a little bit, but this is not our responsibility, but it is the two gentlemen Bill Gates and Allen who caused it. ”

"......Boom!" the reporters were excited, this was the rhythm of the bombardment. Anyway, caught the big news!

"Bill Gates and Allen, these two gentlemen, they own more than 70% of Microsoft's shares, as much as 70%! And we at White Lotus Network International have just inquired, we are the fourth largest shareholder of the company! Fourth! A fourth major shareholder, want to discuss the company's operation with the first and second shareholders, but can't find a communication channel? Is this normal? Is this normal? This is absolutely not normal! We just want a chance to speak!"

"Many countries have mandatory shareholding clauses for listed companies, where more than 30% will force the acquisition of more than 50% of the absolute controlling stake, and more than 66%, the privatization will be initiated. But those two gentlemen are already over 70 percent! 70 percent! Don't you realize that the listed companies in the United States are too lenient? These two gentlemen enjoy the power of a private company, but they can raise a lot of money in the securities market? Even the fourth largest shareholder like us has been forced to shut up, and they are not even as good as those interns in Microsoft's mailroom? Not to mention, what about the rights and interests of those small shareholders? How can they be protected?"
