The house leak happened to rain overnight!

Thinking of the beginning of March, he also asked Steve Forbes to postpone the release of the global rich list, in order to buy a month so that his wealth could catch up with Lin Cheng.

At that time, Microsoft's market value was up to more than $615.4 billion, and its wealth was up to $98.9 billion.

But the embarrassing Microsoft antitrust case and the Nasdaq bubble were squeezed like a table tennis mixed doubles, and their faces were swollen.

So far, Microsoft's market value has fallen to more than 400 billion, and its wealth has plummeted to more than 60 billion, not to mention surpassing Lin Cheng.

"Hey, it's not that I don't work hard, it's bad luck!" Bill Gates let out a long sigh, feeling that his luck was too bad, how could he receive these bad things on the eve of the release of the Forbes Global Rich List!

"Bill, Judge Jackson has declared that we Microsoft have formed a monopolistic behavior and threatened to break up Microsoft, what should we do now?" said Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates' right-hand man.

Microsoft is really too old this year, everything was originally very wonderful, but when did the Nasdaq bubble not burst, but it was squeezed at this time.

In addition, the haze of antitrust lawsuits that began in 1997 has always hovered over Microsoft's head, and now it has become more and more intense, even if the ability is as strong as Steve Ballmer, he also feels a little powerless.

Steve Ballmer can be said to be the most die-hard supporter of Bill Gates, and has followed Bill Gates to build the Microsoft empire since the early eighties.

Bill Gates even broke with Paul Allen, the original venture partner, for the sake of Steve Ballmer.

If Paul Allen is the wife of Bill Gates, then Steve Ballmer is undoubtedly a typical example of the successful ascension of the junior.

It is said that Bill Gates and Paul Allen's breakup process is quite bloody, when Bill Gates took a fancy to Steve Ballmer's business management ability, so he persuaded Paul Allen to invite Steve Ballmer to Microsoft as a manager, and allocated 5% of the shares to Steve Ballmer, although Paul Allen was unhappy, but still agreed with Bill Gates's opinion.

Unexpectedly, after Steve Ballmer entered Microsoft, Paul Allen found that Microsoft gave Steve Ballmer more than 8% of the shares.

At that time, Bill Gates was like an adulterer who was caught raping in bed, in order to appease Paul Allen, his wife, he apologized again and again and decided to give Steve Ballmer all the shares by himself, and did not need other shareholders to thin the shares, which made Paul Allen accept Steve Ballmer's entry into Microsoft.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, once Paul Allen went to Bill Gates to drink coffee, and when he arrived at the door of Bill Gates' office, he heard Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer talking about Paul Allen's wrongs in the office, just like the very common bad words of people behind our backs that we Chinese very common.

He immediately rushed into the office and had a big fight with Bill Gates, who knew that he was wrong and apologized again and again, and it is said that he wrote a 20-page letter of apology to Paul Allen to apologize.

These processes are bloody enough, almost the same as a wife who caught her husband in bed and wrote a review letter, but Paul Allen was heartbroken by Bill Gates, and finally left Microsoft, and Microsoft became the world of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer.

Bill Gates saw that even Steve Ballmer was panicked, and hurriedly reassured: "Don't panic, Steve, although Jackson's statement has caused a big fluctuation in our Microsoft stock price, but he is clearly biased against Microsoft as a judge, we can seize this point to knock Jackson out of office and replace it with a judge who is friendly to Microsoft to hear the case." ”

Steve Ballmer's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled: "Bill, your method is really too clever, I will immediately go to the legal department to discuss with a lawyer, and ask them to knock Jackson out of office for this point."

It's just Bill, Forbes magazine is going to release the world's richest list in a few days, and it doesn't matter if you lose the glory of being the richest man in the world, right?"

Bill Gates was shocked when he heard this, and sighed for a long time: "Now, what can I do but accept reality." Now it is imperative to deal with the monopoly lawsuit in order to avoid the fate of Microsoft's spin-off. ”

Steve Ballmer comforted: "Don't worry, Bill, as long as Microsoft gets through this difficulty, the stock price will definitely skyrocket, and it is not difficult for you to regain the top of the world's richest man, now it's just a temporary pride for the clown of China Lin for a year." ”

Bill Gates patted Steve Ballmer on the shoulder, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay Steve, you don't need to comfort me, just go about your work." ”

"Okay, Bill. Steve Ballmer replied.
