On September 18, 1993, as soon as the fourth game between the Japanese men's basketball team and the Chicago Bulls ended, Ryumasa immediately drove to Nagoya International Airport, where he arrived in Houston on an international flight from Nagoya to Houston. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In Houston, Ryumasa didn't stay long, he didn't even have time to go to the University of Houston to go through the enrollment procedures, and after meeting up with Oda Hatsufan and Momoeko, the three immediately took a flight to New York.

New York, in a large conference room at Rock Internet Inc.

Ryumasa, Oda Hatsufan, and Momoeko sat on the main seat, and the heads of various departments reported to the three of them on the company's operations during this period.

In the midst of prosperity, Panshi Internet Company still encountered two problems.

First of all, because of the terrifying performance of Panshi Internet Company, many people have aroused the eyes of many people, and many giant companies have begun to poach people in Panshi Internet Company and even send commercial spies to infiltrate Panshi Internet Company.

Although the company's top management is well aware of this, it is impossible to eliminate it.

People go to higher places, water flows to lower places, and it is natural for employees to choose to work in better companies, and Long Zheng and others can also understand it.

In a few months, half of the technical staff of Panshi Internet Company have been poached, and the top management, except for a few department heads in the conference room, the other managers have all been poached by the opponent.

Fortunately, the company's core technology is in the hands of Long Zheng, as long as the core technology is not leaked, Panshi Internet Company will not be hit hard.

Therefore, for Long Zheng, although the company's employees have left a large number of employees in the short term, there is no big harm.

What really bothers Ryuzheng is Microsoft's aggressiveness.

Because the equity transaction between Mr. and Mrs. Hatsunori Oda and Paul Allen has not yet been completed, under the premise that Paul Allen has launched the management of Microsoft Corporation, there is only one voice on the board of directors of Microsoft Corporation, Bill Gates.

As a business wizard, Bill Gates sees the future of Rock Internet Inc.

After the rejection of the financing and shares, Bill Gates decisively proposed cross-shareholding, tying Microsoft and Rock Internet to the same carriage.

Of course, Long Zheng is willing to hold shares in each other's shares with Microsoft, but if the mutual shareholding is premised on sacrificing the interests of Panshi Internet Company, then it is a different matter.

According to a research report submitted by the New York Stock Exchange, the market capitalization of Panshi Internet is between $100 billion and $115 billion, while the market value of Microsoft is between $200 billion and $220 billion. The appropriate share exchange ratio is 1:2, that is, 10% of Microsoft's shares in exchange for 20% of Panshi Internet's shares.

But now, Bill Gates proposed a 1:4 share swap ratio, which is to exchange 10% of Microsoft's shares directly for 40% of Panshi Internet's shares.

When the negotiations between the two parties reached an impasse, Bill Gates directly threatened to block them. If the cross-shareholding fails, then Microsoft will block all products of Panshi Internet Company, and all computers equipped with Windows operating system will no longer be able to download and use Panshi Web Browser, Panshi Web Portal, and ArchiefTP Search Engine.

Bill Gates' attitude is very tough, Long Zheng can't and doesn't dare to be tough, once Bill Gates really blocks Rock Internet Company, the consequences are too serious, Long Zheng doesn't dare to think about it.

After this day, Long Zheng, Oda Hatsufan, and Baieko stayed in New York and sat in Panshi Internet Company.

First, the three heavyweight company executives are in charge, which can calm the panic of employees caused by the large number of employees leaving and play a role in stabilizing the morale of the military. Second, Long Zheng is also thinking about how to get through the hurdle of Microsoft.

After thinking about it for a long time, Long Zheng finally figured it out.

The technology of web browsers and web portals is not complicated, and Microsoft will definitely be able to develop it as long as it is willing to spend money and time to develop it, just as Bill Gates said, all the current American computer hosts are installed with the Windows operating system, and if it really tears its face with Microsoft, then the rock Internet company is dead.

The bargaining chip in Bill Gates' hands is Microsoft's monopoly in the software field.

When Microsoft was founded, Bill Gates owned 60 percent of Microsoft, and Paul Allen owned 40 percent of Microsoft.

In 1983, Paul Allen left Microsoft with Hodgkin's disease. After leaving Microsoft, Paul Allen soon founded his own company. Allen now owns 20 percent of Microsoft and still sits on the board.

In 1986, Microsoft Corporation became publicly owned. Bill Gates retains a 45% stake in the company, making him the first billionaire in the PC industry in 1987. In 1992, the company bought FOX and entered the database software market. As a result of sporadic stock sales, Bill Gates' stake has now dropped to 36 percent.

With the signing of the share subscription agreement between Oda and Paul Allen, Paul Allen's stake will be reduced to 17%, and Oda Hatsuho will own 16% of Microsoft.

Microsoft's current equity distribution is clearly presented in front of Long Zheng's eyes.

Bill Gates owns 36% of Microsoft stock, Paul Allen owns 17% of Microsoft stock, Hatsunori Oda owns 16% of Microsoft stock, and other investors own 31% of Microsoft stock.

It is impossible for Panshi Internet Company to stand up to Microsoft, and Long Zheng is clear about this.

If you can get 40% of the shares of Panshi Internet Company in exchange for 10% of Microsoft shares held by Bill Gates.

Then, the distribution of Microsoft's shares will become: Bill Gates holds 26% of Microsoft stock, Paul Allen holds 17% of Microsoft stock, Oda Hatsunori holds 16% of Microsoft stock, Long Zheng holds 10% of Microsoft stock, and other investors hold 31% of Microsoft stock.

As soon as he thought of it, Long Zheng immediately found Oda Hatsufan and Baihuizi, and the three of them discussed the specific plan for the operation.

For Long Zheng, Panshi Internet Company is only a part of his information industry in the United States, in addition to the Rock E-commerce Company, Rock Instant Messaging Company and Rock Online Game Company, which have been quietly established. It is impossible for him to completely turn over the software giant -- Microsoft -- for the sake of paying an extra 20 percent of the shares of Panshi Internet Company.

As for whether Bill Gates will exchange his 10% Microsoft stock for 40% of the shares of Panshi Internet Company, Long Zheng is not worried at all. Microsoft is Bill Gates' Microsoft, and only Microsoft under the leadership of Bill Gates has endured vitality. Even if Oda Hatsufan and Ryuzheng have the same shareholding ratio as Bill Gates, they will not snatch the management of Bill Gates.

On the contrary, because of Bill Gates's come, Long Zheng had the idea of handing over the management of Panshi Internet Company to him. (To be continued.) )
