According to Microsoft's statement, the event will be held at 1 p.m. on the same day, and all media attending the conference will be notified by fax in advance of the number of media members that Microsoft will be dispatching. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, the relevant staff began to set up the venue, and according to the number of reporters they received, they specially found a square outside the company's headquarters, filled with hundreds of chairs. The square has long been fenced off by a simple cordon, with Microsoft's own security guards acting as security screeners.

Redmond is not very large, with a population of just over 50,000, and it can be said to be a small city with lush trees. But it is such a small place, but there is Nintendo's US branch settled in successively, and the news of Microsoft's listing appeared, how can you not invite the surrounding residents to come and watch?

As early as the morning, some elderly people who don't have to work 9-to-5 walked around the square, of course, they usually walked, but today, they all came to this area near the Microsoft building, undoubtedly for the press conference.

While the workers were still setting up the venue, they could see that there were always one or two small Asian men walking around the square. That's undoubtedly Microsoft's new neighbor in the city, employees of Nintendo's U.S. division in '81, staring at the details of the launch of this new IPO.

Furthermore, although the announced press conference started at one o'clock, as early as 11 o'clock at noon, more than a dozen reporters had already arrived, and they had already arrived in the center of the square with their admission tickets.

At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, almost all the seats were filled, and a total of 132 media reporters from all over the United States and even the United Kingdom came to the press conference. The vast square was buzzing as long guns and cannons were erected in front of their seats, led by the Wall Street Journal and other major media outlets. It can be said that except for the most front-line work, which was scheduled by the large media, other reporters are trying to make themselves sit further forward.

"Oh my God, it's so exciting!"

And just at the cordon at the edge of the square, a big boy with a sense of disobedience was standing there.

"Microsoft's press conference, they must be announcing the second largest shareholder! Alice, oh~ It must be Alice!"

It's not Harry Puness, who else?

When he saw the news in the tabloid news recently, Harry did not hesitate to believe that their guess must be correct, and the Alice Wang in the list of executives announced by Microsoft must be his beloved fiction writer Alice!

Unfortunately, Amy, who works at the bookstore, didn't have time to come to Redmond for a press conference, so Harry knew he was here today on a mission. The camera in his hand was already hungry, so he waited to capture a picture of Alice and send it to Amy!

Gradually, the time began to approach one o'clock in the afternoon.

It can be seen that a group of people are walking from a distance from the Microsoft headquarters building, numbering about twenty people.

"Look, look, Bill Gates is here, hurry up and take pictures!"

The astute reporter was already thinking about capturing the picture, and the long guns and short cannons were immediately aimed at the first person who came, blonde, baby-faced, and wearing glasses, not the main protagonist of this press conference, who else could Bill Gates be!?

But the hustle and bustle came.

"Look, look at that girl!"

An excited reporter noticed something sharply, and subconsciously shouted: "Little girl!

This shout was still there, and the reporters who were sitting on the side couldn't help it, and those who could rush to the side of the cordon hurriedly rushed over, and those who couldn't rush over hurriedly snapped the picture directly. With Bill Gates, Paul Allen and a few others, the girl who came from the Microsoft building from afar, who is not Alice?

"Haha, that guy Steve, Bai has been working in the entertainment version for so long, and I will write this manuscript today!"

"Oh my God, I'll just say that those tabloid reports aren't chasing after the wind, they can be called this name, and they can still be successful in the news, where are there so many coincidental duplicate names? It's just a person!"

"The girl is also too low-key, with little to no interviews and few even the most basic public appearances. I heard that the last time I participated in tonight's show, I was afraid that public opinion would recruit people from the Children's Rights Association to my home......"

Alice was far away, so she heard the reporters' whispers clearly: "Bill, you'd better hurry up and say it later, I'll definitely be endless when I go up." ”

As the distance approached, sharp-eyed reporters also saw that it was not coming, and Alice was walking side by side with Bill Gates: "No problem, Alice, but don't turn our press conference into a celebrity interview." ”

Alice chuckled softly, "Of course. ”

When the people sent by the company arrived at the scene, the reporters who were still boiling immediately quieted down, and they went to their respective places, watching Bill Gates walk on the high platform alone, and none of them were not excited. However, those who have a heart also have a special heart, paying attention to Alice, who is standing in the audience for the time being.

"Good afternoon, journalists. ”

Facing the flashing cameras in the audience, Gates said: "There are two announcements in this press conference, the first is the change of the company's shares and management personnel after the public listing to the majority of shareholders. ”

Countless reporters in the audience held their breath, but they basically did not look at Gates, but at Alice standing inconspicuously in the corner.

As of the close of trading on the first day of listing, Microsoft raised $61 million, accounting for 20% of the company's total share capital. ”

The company's chairman, CEO, and chief software designer, Bill Gates, himself, owns 35% of Microsoft's shares. ”

Gates's words were read slowly, and none of the reporters in the audience were frantically recording.

I saw him pause slightly, and then said: "The company's second largest shareholder, chief technical adviser, Alice Wang, holds 30% of the technology shares. ”

After saying this, the audience was still dead silent, and the only thing that could be faintly heard was the rapid recording of the reporters' writing.

But there is no doubt that among the hundreds of reporters in the audience, there is not a single one whose heart is not beating fast. Big news, it's really big news, and a few people present didn't come with preparation, and the photos captured can be confirmed to the public as soon as they are announced, Alice in the list announced by Microsoft as early as the IPO is indeed the one who is well-known in the entertainment industry!

Moreover, the word technology stock has also been emphasized by all reporters!

"The company's third largest shareholder, Paul Allen, holds about 15% of the ......"

The rest of the news didn't pay much attention, it was nothing more than the single-digit or even decimal ordinary holdings of management and employees. It's just that now is not the time to ask questions freely, and reporters have to endure even if they are full of questions.

"It's gone! It's definitely done!"

Harry was already satisfied, the girl standing in the corner in the distance, the beautiful big-breasted sister Alice, don't look at him standing on the edge of the square, but he didn't spare the little Kodak film in his hand. It's only been a little while, and I've already taken countless candid photos of Alice with a telephoto lens!

"Amy will love it very much, she will date me when she is happy, and I will not be single when she dates me. Mom, your son, I'm finally going to find a girlfriend!"

“…… What's the situation?"

Alice muttered.

"What's wrong?"

Beside him, Paul Allen was noisy by Gates's horn and didn't hear Alice's words: "What?"

"Look there. ”

Alice pointed straight to the edge of the square, where a young man was taking pictures near the podium: "From the moment we came, the flashing lights were on there. I'm really convinced, isn't it a little cloudy today, a kid passing by to see the excitement is so arrogant!?"

Alan laughed: "I thought something was going on, doesn't this just show that our Microsoft influence is very great? Look at this full audience of reporters, how many companies can attract so many people when they first go public?"

The number of people is one of them, and the key is the gold content. The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post logos couldn't be more obvious. The NASDAQ exchange is in Washington, and Wall Street is in Manhattan, and the reporter of the Seattle Daily News also followed to the next city, and the "Popular Electronics" was put in the front row by Alice's advocates, which are all well-known industry paper media in the country!

The above is the change in the shares and positions of the company's shareholders and management after Microsoft is listed. ”

After reading the lengthy list, Gates also knew where the highlight of the day was, in fact, the reason why he held a press conference with great fanfare and took the initiative to invite several heavyweight print media was the second piece of news that followed.

When Gates put away the materials in his hand, all the media personnel in the audience also knew that it seemed that there was a major event coming.

Many people who have never given up have directly drafted news headlines as early as after Gates finished reading Alice's equity share and position.

It's too obvious.,The news after that must be Alice to introduce herself~.

Sure enough, I only heard Gates say: "The next news is announced to everyone by Miss Alice Wang, the second shareholder of the company and also the chief technical consultant." ”

Gates immediately stepped off the high platform, and when Alice, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walked up easily, clicked, and all the reporters in the audience stood up directly, and they wasted all their film without money!!

"I knew it was going to be like this, it was like walking the red carpet. ”

As soon as he got off the stage, Gates smiled bitterly: "But I also want to scold them, this job is really Alice's ability." ”

Alan and Ballmer stood in a corner and laughed softly.

Then, together, they looked at Alice, who was standing in front of the stage. (To be continued.) )
