Chapter 201 is a joke-like farce
In the underground parking lot of Wall Street, the flow of people who got off work poured in, and they were all in a hurry to rush home to celebrate the Thanksgiving day of family reunion.
When the two men carrying briefcases met each other, they smiled and said a few words: "Warren, how is it today?"
"On a normal day, except for that Microsoft, hehe. Do you know who did it?
"Please, I hate that some people pretend to be innocent, your dog nose is so smart, you can't find out that it's Tony, right? In the later stage, his movements were too big, and how many of them haven't been marked 'focus on'?
"Who knows? Maybe he's in a hurry to get home and eat the fire**. However, it's already nearly $50, have you thrown it?"
"Throwing away most of it, having a good holiday with peace of mind, also allows Tony to go home quickly and eat roast turkey. Huh, what about you?"
"Nope. I always felt that his movements were too weird. Let's wait for the market to open after the holiday! ”
"Then good luck. ”
As he was saying this, another acquaintance passed by, and he greeted the two with a smile: "Have you heard?
"We're talking about it. I was just going to ask you, what do you do with the ones you bought?"
"Of course, when it goes up, what is $50? There may be surprises in the future. ”
"Huh?"
"I'll tell you, I paid $300, got a janitor, and found out that Tony wasn't off work and was calling all the shareholders of Microsoft to make a takeover offer. Guys, he should be playing for real. Also, you all owe me a coffee. Hehe. ”
"Damn!" a loud expletive......
......
Leaving the Seattle airport, Bill Gates got into the car driven by his mother, Mary. Glancing at Bill Gates, who was tired, Mary was a little distressed: "Bill, you should find a good girl who can take care of you." ”
"Mom. Bill Gates smiled, "The company has reached the most critical moment, the window system ......"
Listening to the barrage of jargon, Mary didn't quite understand it, but her eyes were full of pride. The car drove slowly to the door of the house, and Bill Gates was already asleep in his seat. has covered Bill Gates with a blanket, Mary tried to drive as smoothly as possible, wanting her son to rest for a while, but suddenly, several reporters rushed out of the door on both sides of the house, flashing lights at Bill Gates in the passenger seat, and some reporters held the microphone and shouted loudly outside the car window: "Mr. Bill Gates, stop, can you be interviewed......
Seeing Bill Gates awakened, his eyes bloodshot, Mary, who had a good upbringing, couldn't help but scold: "Shit!"
Finally rushed into the house and blocked the reporters out, Bill Gates was a little inexplicable: "Mom, how can there be reporters here?"
Mary was equally baffled: "Usually there is no such thing as any." Maybe it's because of you? When you were in the company, there were a lot of annoying journalists?"
"Mom, although Microsoft is bound to be great, it's still a small company?" Bill Gates was even more puzzled.
Letting go of the doubts in their hearts, the mother and son walked into the house with a smile, and heard the second sister complaining with a smile: "Bill, Alan and several managers of your company have called several times. Please, this is a home away from home on Thanksgiving, not your office! I'm not your secretary!"
Smiling and hugging his second sister, Bill Gates just wanted to say a few words of greeting, when he heard the phone ring again. In the eyes of the second sister, Bill Gates picked up the phone with a smile: "Hey?"
"Excuse me, are you Mr. William Henry Bill Gates III?"
As soon as he heard such a formal title, Bill Gates was a little strange: "Exactly." Your Excellency, ...... you?"
"My name is Tony and I'm a stockbroker at Marvel Investments on Wall Street. Sir, now I am entrusted by a customer and would like to ask you, do you sell Microsoft shares in your hands, including restricted shares?"
"What?" In an instant, Bill Gates was a little speechless. Fortunately, he also has a very good upbringing, and he quickly reacted: "Thank you for your customers' love for Microsoft, and welcome to invest in Microsoft." But I don't want to sell my stock right now. Thank you, by the way, can you tell me which one you want to buy?"
"Mr. Bill Gates, my client has not asked for confidentiality on this point. I can tell you that it's the White Lotus Network International Inc. in Los Angeles. But sir, you better listen to the conditions! Full takeover at $50, including restricted shares. Acquisitions are conditional until the end of the Thanksgiving holiday on a first-come, first-served basis. ”
Bill Gates was already speechless, today's closing price is almost $50, you actually wishfully thought of buying at the original price? To be honest, Bill Gates at this time actually did not have the slightest anger, and felt that it was ridiculous, and threw down a sentence: "Mr. Tony, today is not April Fool's Day!" After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone with a "snap".
As soon as I hung up, I didn't expect the phone to ring again: "Mr. Tony......" Bill Gates was a little angry, and he was really annoyed by such a stalker.
"Bill, you're being harassed by that idiot too? hahaha!" Allen's laugh came from the microphone.
"I'm sorry, Alan. Bill Gates also laughed, "Allen, how many times did you call just now?
"Hahaha, Mr. Bill Gates, your Microsoft is about to be fully acquired by a White Lotus Network International company, and all the employees in the company have received a call, and your company is about to be gone, isn't this a serious thing? Hahaha! And it's a terrible high price! $50! God! Hahaha——!" Alan said the situation while laughing.
Bill Gates couldn't help but laugh: "Is anyone in that company tempted? Oh no, what a stupid question." Hahaha!"
Alan smiled: "You know, what else did I know? That White Lotus Network International is very small, very small...... Infinite Loop...... of mail-order companies. Maybe they don't have a place to stuff their advertising paper, and they fancy our window (referring to the window), hahaha——!"
"Ahem, ahem. Bill Gates couldn't help coughing, at first, he thought that he was lonely and unheard, White Lotus Network International was a powerful large company, or at least a high-tech company, and was somewhat misled by that "network". But I never thought that it was ......?
I don't bother to talk about it, it's like a joke anyway. Bill Gates smiled: "Actually, it's not bad, we can all have a good mood and spend this happy Thanksgiving." ”
"Hahaha, Happy Thanksgiving!"
"Happy, Alan!"
