Seeing a group of wealthy bigwigs talking and laughing, Li Feng turned his head to look at Gates, who was casually echoing many bigwigs and was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Bill, I heard that the Ministry of Justice is about to announce whether to file a case against Microsoft for anti-monopoly, and your sales model of binding the operating system to the browser may be recognized as a monopolistic illegal bundle sale, does Microsoft have any countermeasures?"

Listening to Li Feng's question with a smile, Gates couldn't help frowning and replied helplessly: "Yes, I'm bothered about this, now it seems that the whole world knows that Microsoft is facing an anti-monopoly investigation, and I don't know what Microsoft's fate will be?"

"However, John, you are well-informed and fast, Microsoft's antitrust investigation has not yet been concluded, and you have directly completed the transaction with PNC Group and completely exited Microsoft. Similarly, Gates' friend Warren Buffett, who was on the side, also responded with a smile and jokes.

"Ahh ,Mr. Stock God,Then you have wronged me.,To be honest, I've always been optimistic about Microsoft.,After all, the Windows operating system is too good.,Microsoft's profitability is super strong.,If it weren't for PNC coming up with something that made me greedy.,Where would I sell stocks.。 Li Feng and the others said to Buffett and everyone with big eyes and an innocent face.

"Oh... It turns out that John, you already know that Microsoft is going to be filed against the antitrust, no wonder you directly asked PNC Group to sell shares, it seems that you are looking for PNC as a pick-up man!" Chris Morgan, who was sitting on the side, also responded jokingly.

"No, Chris, do you want you to help me pass on the word to PNC, if they want to cash out the shares I sold to them now, I can buy them back, based on the amount of our previous deal. Li Feng also responded angrily.

"Haha..."

“…”

……

Seeing that he was young and circling around beside many bigwigs, he was chatting and laughing, and sometimes he pretended to be stupid and innocent and chatted with the bigwigs, which made everyone laugh. Anyway, you can put the grandchildren of this group of people at your own age, and occasionally pretending to be stupid is actually a good behavior to get closer to the relationship.

In fact, after hearing Li Feng and several bigwigs before, the rest of the people present stopped talking and looked at Li Feng and Gates.

If you want to say that the two most prominent people in the American economic circles today are undoubtedly Li Feng and Gates, not to mention Gates, from 95 to 98, the title of "the richest man in the world" for 4 consecutive terms is not in vain.

Although the wealthy families in the United States may control more wealth than Gates, but the wealth they control does not belong to individuals, but to the entire family.

Since the beginning of '97, the U.S. Department of Justice has accused Microsoft of bundling browsers and operating systems in an antitrust investigation, although Gates has lobbied the government from the beginning, and has also paid a huge price, that is, the stake in his hands has been diluted and has been delayed until now.

Unfortunately, Microsoft's use of the operating system to bind IE is too obvious, and Microsoft's monopoly dominance in the operating system is unquestionable, undoubtedly exceeding all the market permissions required for antitrust.

History has dragged on until mid-October a year later, that is to say, a full year of 'anti-monopoly investigation', finally, the U.S. Department of Justice confirmed that the Microsoft anti-monopoly case was officially established, so that Gates' efforts over the past year have been in vain.

Similarly, Microsoft's antitrust case is very eye-catching, after all, Microsoft is not a small company, and its market value is close to $300 billion, but it is a super gold mine, I don't know how many people are staring at it.

You must know that in 95 years, Gates owned more than 4 layers of nearly half of Microsoft's shares, if these shares are still in hand, the value of these shares alone is nearly 150 billion US dollars, and it is increasing every day.

……

The historical Microsoft anti-monopoly case began in 98 and lasted nearly 2 years until 2000, and the anti-monopoly was confirmed at the beginning.

Fortunately, Microsoft appealed, and the final appeal ended with the Supreme Court rejecting the initial verdict, and Microsoft avoided the fate of splitting, which is Microsoft's most critical battle. However, there are still 9 states that agree with antitrust, and then enter the long antitrust investigation of several states again, which dragged on until 02 years before it was completely completed.

In Li Feng's view, the heaviest loss in Microsoft's antitrust investigation is Gates himself, who is the first bird to come out and has the most shares in Microsoft.

Of course, Judge Thomas, who was judged to be anti-monopoly for the first time, was dismissed for 'violating judicial procedures and leaking the inside of the case trial to the media' a few days after Microsoft's successful appeal and evasion of the fate of the split.

This is the closest Microsoft is to being broken up, but fortunately, Microsoft's public relations capabilities are still super strong, and the American government does not want to see one of the façade enterprises of the United States imperialism, the giant that monopolizes the global operating system, be broken up, so it has escaped this catastrophe.

Since then, Microsoft has launched new products in the future, although there is inevitably a suspicion of bundled sales of operating systems in terms of sales, but every time it is wandering on the anti-monopoly line, although there are occasional anti-monopoly investigations, but at most it will be fined, but the news has not been unpacked.

In a sense, Microsoft still has to thank this anti-monopoly investigation, so that Microsoft has the experience of dealing with anti-monopoly investigations, and every time there is anti-monopoly investigation news in Microsoft in later generations, many people only complain in their hearts at most, "Damn, there is an investigation, it seems that there will be a fine again." ”

It's too much investigation, most people are immune, maybe the only depressed is Gates's classmates, after 2000, Gates found that in Microsoft, his voice is getting smaller and smaller, after all, the shares are less than 20% by then, and it is impossible to say what he did at the beginning.

One of the co-founders, Gates's college classmates and close friends, and Microsoft's major shareholder, Paul Allen, was kicked out of the company by Gates, and received dividends every year.

……

"In any case, I think Microsoft is now the face of a high-tech company, and the government probably doesn't want to see Microsoft being broken up. Thinking of Microsoft's final fate, Li Feng suddenly smiled and comforted Gates.

"Hey... , hopefully. Gates sighed helplessly and replied.

"John, you should be careful with Feixun Technology!" "Warren Buffett joked to Li Feng with a smile again.

"No, my Feixun has now launched a YY chat software, and I heard that Microsoft has also launched its own chat software, and there are many chat tools on the market, so Feixun and Microsoft are still 'competitors', Bill, you won't use the same way to deal with Feixun, right?"

"Uh... ,Don't worry,A Netscape is enough of a headache for us.,If we want to add a Feixun and St. John Lee.,I don't think Microsoft needs to be investigated by the Ministry of Justice.,Split it directly.。 Hearing Li Feng's ridiculous joke, Gates rolled his eyes angrily and replied.

"Bill, I see, you still have to do this, directly block the YY of Feixun on the operating system, anyway, a sheep is a drive, and a flock of sheep is also a drive. Old David couldn't help but joke about Li Feng and Gates at this time.

"Damn, old David, I just found out that your heart is so dark, and sure enough, the older you get, the darker your heart becomes!"

"Huh... John, we're all 'old guys', you're scolding us all. ”

"Uh..."

"Haha..."

“…”

……

A gag, accompanied by a burst of laughter, attracted the attention of most people in the party, no way, the area where Li Feng and the others were located in the entire venue was indeed the focus area of the entire party.
