"Bill, how did Microsoft's antitrust investigation end?" Li Feng quipped to the 'richest man' with a smile on Bill Gates's Boeing 757 luxury dead plane.

"Uh... John, you're really... , Don't you know, it's really a big trouble this time, or hello, no one dares to touch you. ”

"Hehe... , no one touched me, didn't you see that I've been busy fighting fires lately? Li Feng immediately responded angrily.

Although it is said that it is the leader of the Qiao gang and the bald man of Bei, Li Feng knows very well that he naturally has the figure of a consortium behind the two, but he is only being suppressed by Li Feng for the time being, after all, Li Feng is not a person for the first time, including Rockefeller, Roosevelt, Morgan and other old giants are closely related to Li Feng.

"Haha... , Isn't it beaten down by you, Microsoft is more miserable, and my stake is now less than 30%. Gates also replied with a wry smile at this time.

Hearing the bitter smile of this big man, Li Feng couldn't help but be speechless for a while, when Gates became the richest man in 95, Microsoft's shares were still more than 40%, although Gates also took the initiative to cash out part of it to a certain extent, but this was reduced too quickly.

There is no doubt that in just 3 or 4 years, Gates is definitely forced to continue to reduce his shares, otherwise, Gates will greatly reduce the shares in his hands if he is crazy, you must know that since 95 years, Microsoft's shares have doubled every year, from tens of billions of market capitalization to today's 100 billion market value, you can imagine how heavy Gates's losses are.

Although this most dangerous antitrust was started by competitors in Silicon Valley at the beginning, there was definitely an American consortium behind the scenes that wanted to carve up the fruits of Microsoft's victory.

"You don't lose money, even if you reduce your shares, then these shares are worth a lot of money, calculated in billions and tens of billions, so the IRS is not going to keep an eye on your account!" Li Feng quipped again with a little cheap smile on his face.

"Uh... , Melinda is ready to set up a charitable foundation. ”

When our Gates classmates heard Li Feng's joke again, they couldn't help crying and laughing again, but they still explained with a smile.

……

"Huh... , Charity Foundation, this is not bad, why don't I cooperate with you?" Hearing Bill Gates's explanation, Li Feng's heart moved, and he immediately responded with a smile.

"John, although this foundation has other aspects of thought, but charity is the first priority, we plan the future in education, medical care, poverty alleviation and other aspects, the annual charity funds are not small. ”

"Haha... , Bill, you should also know that I was also born as an orphan, and besides, I have donated a lot in the past 2 years, and I am also sincere about charity. ”

Whether it is for the sake of future reputation or the environment of the United States, if you can participate in the foundation of Bill Gates, who was famous all over the world in the past, there is no doubt that you will be able to gain great prestige in the future.

"Well, I've also heard that John, you have donated a lot of money to secondary school and university education in the past two years, and since you have a heart, we naturally welcome it. ”

"That's the best, let's do it together, right, by the way, have you chosen the name of the foundation, and have you chosen the headquarters location?"

"No, no, I just had such an idea, and recently I have been caught up in Microsoft's anti-monopoly efforts. ”

"Well, you see, how about calling it Bill-St. John's Friends Charity Foundation, and in the future, we may be able to pull some friends who are willing to do charity sincerely, after all, there is power in numbers, isn't it?"

"I think it's better to call it St. John Lee - Gates Friends Foundation!"

"Hehe..."

“…”

After some humility, Bill finally agreed with Li Feng's statement, let his name go first, and set up the 'Gates - St. John's Lee Friends Foundation' together.

……

"Bill, what do you think is the location of Los Angeles, I think since you are dedicated to charity, then Los Angeles is a good headquarters location, after all, this is the global entertainment capital, there are a lot of world-renowned stars, these stars are very good resources. ”

"Well, that's good, I think if there are celebrities joining, it will increase its influence a lot. ”

"Yes, I don't think it will be a few years before Bill can run for president of the United States or even secretary general of the United Nations. Li Feng quipped again.

"John, your mind is beating so fast, no wonder you can rise so fast!"

"Haha..."

“…”

"OK, Bill, then it's decided, I think so, no one knows when Microsoft's anti-monopoly will be, I estimate that it will drag on for a few years, right, or we will announce it in advance, I think it will also be positive for Microsoft's antitrust investigation." ”

"OK, of course!"

"Haha... , then it was decided. ”

"OK, for our further cooperation, Cheers!"

"For our friendship, Cheers!"

"Ting..."

“…”

……

For the charitable foundation, Li Feng will not pay too much attention to it at least for the time being, just have a name, and therefore, when Gates said that he wanted his father to temporarily become the chairman of the foundation and recommend Jeff Lex as CEO, Li Feng directly agreed, which made Gates feel a lot more relieved.

Li Feng also explained, saying that he hoped that his grandfather could become the foundation association with the old Gates. In this regard, Bill also agreed with a smile, anyway, it is just a name, after all, whether it is Gates or Li Feng, both of them are busy people now, and they probably don't think much about charity.

Of course, if Li Feng knew Bill Gates's thoughts, he might say, don't worry, when the anti-monopoly investigation is over and your shares are less than 20% or even less, you may find that although Microsoft is still a major shareholder and founder, all internal forces will appear, and Microsoft at that time will no longer be your word, and at that time your mind will turn to the foundation.

Isn't this the case with Microsoft in the previous life, when the anti-monopoly ended, although Microsoft escaped the fate of being split in two, the price was indeed amazing, mainly because Bill Gates's stake in Microsoft was continuously reduced and diluted.

In the end, within 2 years, just over 50 years old Bill Gates simply quit all his work at Microsoft, and put his mind on the charity foundation, in Li Feng's view, Gates is estimated to be disheartened, rather than intriguing with various forces in the Microsoft board of directors, it is better to go to the foundation where he can make a decision, this is his own business.

After the two reached an agreement on the charity fund, the relationship became more intimate, after all, according to the plan of the two, the charity foundation will become the world's largest charity fund in the future.

……

When Gates's private jet arrived in Seattle, the two had already reached an agreement on the general content of the foundation, such as the proportion of capital contribution, according to the proposal of the two, simply make it bigger, directly reach the scale of 10 billion US dollars, Li Feng is very smart, and directly said that he will donate part of Amazon's shares to reach the scale of 5 billion US dollars.

As for Gates, he said that he donated a part of cash and Microsoft shares, and the total donation of the two reached 10 billion, and both Li Feng and Gates expressed no objection to this.

Li Feng is thinking, only a part of Amazon's shares, although the future of Amazon can be comparable to Microsoft, but he only pays Amazon's shares, and there are still a lot of assets in his hands, in order to have a name of the world's largest philanthropist in the future, what should be paid is still to be paid.

As for Gates, he was forced to reduce his stake in Microsoft, and he had a lot of cash in his hand and didn't know what to do, and instead of using this cash by the IRS as defense expenses, it would be better to set up a charity fund himself;

Of course, Microsoft's parent company is also a tax haven, so most of the cash received by Gates from reducing his stake is not in the United States but in overseas accounts, and as long as the funds are not transferred to the United States, these will not be taxed.

Perhaps there is a reason why a large amount of the Gates Foundation's funds were used outside of the United States.
