Chapter 235: The Process Is a Twist and Fall (Part II)
"I don't know exactly what I want, Bill and I have asked Mr. Satya, and his reason is that choosing Samsung is more beneficial to the development of Microsoft as a whole." Paul Allen said with a wry smile.
Paul, on the one hand, he really didn't want Microsoft to continue to carry the burden when he facilitated Microsoft's sale of Xbox to the Mythical Group, after all, he was also one of the founders of Microsoft, and he couldn't bear to see Microsoft lose money year after year. On the other hand, he is a little selfish, after all, the doctor Li Haoyu found does have hope of curing his chronic disease, and Paul can be regarded as repaying the favor, and besides, the strength of the Mythical Group is there, and no one will say anything about him.
"Grandfather, how can Mr. Satya do it? He didn't object to the proposal at the board of directors at the beginning, so how could he come up with such a thing at the last minute? Emily said indignantly.
Martha was shocked: "Emily, Li is he here to buy Microsoft's Xbox this time?" She always thought that Li Haoyu's visit to the United States this time was an ordinary business thing, but she didn't expect this Chinese person to have such a big appetite to swallow the Xbox business, even if she didn't understand business, but she also knew that she didn't have two or three billion dollars to think about those Xbox from Microsoft.
Emily stuck out her tongue and said, "Martha, Li is indeed here to buy Microsoft's Xbox this time." Originally, it had already been negotiated, and it was only necessary for the two parties to negotiate the price before they could sign it, but this time there was a little accident, but I think Li is still very hopeful of winning Xbox. Martha, this is Lee's trade secret, don't let it out. ”
Martha glanced at Li Haoyu deeply, nodded and said: "Emily, don't worry, you don't know what kind of person I am, unless Li and Microsoft announce this matter themselves, I will definitely not let others know about it, even my father." ”
Li Haoyu said: "Martha, please don't spread this matter too early, it's okay to reveal it too early, Microsoft will feel that we are using public opinion to put pressure on them." There was still room for maneuver to become blocked, and our mythical group will lose to Samsung in this race to acquire Xbox, and whether we can win Xbox is important to us. ”
Martha then knew what Emily and Li Haoyu would ask her so solemnly not to spread today's events, it turned out that there were so many twists and turns in the middle, and her heart suddenly became a little interested in Li Haoyu, and said solemnly on her face: "Li, I will keep my mouth shut." ”
Xie Mingshan's translator is a young man of twenty-four or five, named Wu Peng, who had studied clinical medicine in the United States for four or five years, and has only recently returned to China. This time, Xie Mingshan urgently needed a translator, and he couldn't find a translator who could pass the English speaking test temporarily, so he temporarily replaced him.
Wu Peng listened to the conversation between Li Haoyu and Paul and others, and his mouth opened in surprise, this young man who was about the same age as him actually wanted to acquire Microsoft's huge Xbox business? If Li Haoyu was the only one who said this to him, he would definitely scoff at it, thinking that this young man must be paranoid. It's just that Paul, a well-known billionaire in the world not far from him, thinks that Li Haoyu has the strength to acquire the Xbox business, and it seems that he has helped persuade Microsoft's top management, and it seems that he is still going to succeed, but now something has gone wrong.
What is the origin of this young man named "Lee", who has such a large financial resource to acquire Xbox?
In fact, Li Haoyu's exposure in the media is not small, and many gamers in Huaxia still recognize him when they see him. It's just that Wu Peng has been studying medicine in the United States for many years, although he occasionally plays games, but Li Haoyu at that time was not famous in the United States, so he never knew that the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him was actually the owner of a large game company.
"Xiao Wu, what did they just say? You translate for me. Xie Mingshan couldn't understand English, and he couldn't understand what Li Haoyu and Paul and Martha said just now, and saw that Wu Peng didn't translate for himself, so he asked this time.
Wu Peng hurriedly said: "Old man Xie, they are talking about business matters." ”
"Oh, that's right." Xie Mingshan nodded, but he didn't ask Li Haoyu about the content of their conversation, he had studied Chinese medicine all his life, and he really had no interest in business matters.
At this time, Li Haoyu turned his head to look at Wu Peng, looked at him for a while, and then said in English: "Your name is Wu Peng, it's better not to spread the news about what you heard today, this is a secret about our company." ”
I don't know what's going on, Wu Peng looked at Li Haoyu's eyes, and suddenly felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, if he revealed what he heard today, would he also be killed by those people who accidentally learned the big secret in the novel and movie? He hurriedly shook his head and said in fairly fluent English: "Don't worry, I will never reveal half a sentence, even if I dream, I won't say anything." ”
Li Haoyu laughed, he was not full of flesh and force, at a glance, he knew that Lu Dao was the kind of guy who killed people and oversold goods, why did Wu Peng look like he was afraid of himself? He didn't know that he had become a murderous maniac in Wu Peng's heart, if he knew what Wu Peng was thinking, he would definitely be so depressed that he vomited blood, this Wu Peng wouldn't be Conan's oversight, right?
"Mr. Paul, can you introduce me to Mr. Satya? I want to talk to him personally. Li Haoyu's mind did not stay on Wu Peng for long, and most of his attention is now attracted to the fact that Samsung Group wants to rush to acquire the Xbox business.
Paul said: "No problem, I will arrange for you to meet Mr. Satya in two days, as for whether you can convince Satya or not, it is up to you." ”
Emily then said, "Lee, you can rest in our house for a day or two, I'm sure you can take the Xbox." When you come out with the latest generation of Xbox, I must use the pocket money I earned from my part-time job to buy one back! She shook her fist as she spoke.
The more he gets along with Emily, the more Li Haoyu feels that no matter how much trouble he has, it will disappear with the arrival of this blonde little beauty, he smiled and said: "Emily, you should keep the pocket money from your part-time job, if we can buy Xbox, then I will give you the first finished product of the latest generation of products, just as you thank me for entertaining me for so long." ”
"Okay, I'm worried that the little money I have to go to work won't be enough to buy an Xbox!" Emily said with a smile.
Paul said: "Lee, today I know that you are coming, I have specially prepared for you the most distinctive food in our United States, which will definitely make you appetite." ”
……
In the next two days, Li Haoyu lived in Paul's villa, accompanied Emily to go for a ride every day, and then chatted with Mr. Xie and Paul, and lived a very comfortable life.
"Lee, I've made an appointment with Mr. Satya, let's go over now." Paul has been diagnosed and treated by Xie Mingshan for a few days, and his spirit has improved a lot, he rarely left this villa before, and this time he wanted to personally accompany Li Haoyu to meet Satya, who had just served as CEO of Microsoft for less than two years.
Li Haoyu drove to Redmond, Washington, where Microsoft's headquarters is located, which is not far from Seattle, and it took more than an hour to drive. Originally, Raymond City was only a little-known small city in the United States, but since Microsoft, the overlord of the world's computer operating system, settled here, it has gradually become prosperous, and it is naturally a lot of distance from New York and other super-first-class cities, but it is not worse than the average first-tier city.
The place Paul and Satya agreed on was not in the headquarters of Microsoft, but in a clean café.
"Satya, you still don't look old at all, I really envy you." Paul and Satya Nadella hugged for a moment, and then introduced: "Satya, this is Li of Huaxia Mythical Group, the chairman and CEO of Mythical Group. ”
Li Haoyu looked at the latest leader of Microsoft, and he recalled the information of this Satya, who is an Indian immigrant, who should be 48 years old this year, wearing a pair of glasses, and looking very Sven. His hair has gone down, and the people who can serve as Microsoft's CEO are indeed the most "smart" people.
"Hello, Mr. Satya, I'm Li Haoyu." Li Haoyu and Satya shook hands politely.
Satya kept a faint smile on his face, and he couldn't see the true thoughts in his heart, and said, "Chairman Li, hello, please take a seat." ”
Li Haoyu raised his eyebrows, this Satya doesn't look like an easy person to deal with!
At this time, the waiter came over and asked, "What do you two need to drink?" ”
Paul said, "A latte, thank you." ”
Li Haoyu still likes the taste of cappuccino coffee the most, and this time of course, it is not surprising that he ordered this coffee.
"Mr. Paul, you seem to be much more energetic than before, are you under control?" Satya didn't ask why Paul invited him, and in fact he could guess without asking, so he talked about his ways.
Paul couldn't help but smile on his face and said, "Thanks to a doctor Li found for me from Huaxia, now my condition is not only under control, but also hopefully cured in a year or two." ”
Satya couldn't help but marvel at the fact that it was no secret that Paul had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which Paul and Bill Gates founded together in 1975 and resigned from Microsoft's management in 1983 because of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, but the disease was later cured. It wasn't until 2009 that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma again, and then he faded out of the investment circle, and he did not recover again for several years.
