Chapter 369: Bill Gates' Scheme

With a population of only a few hundred thousand, Montana has fortunately become the focus of global media attention, letting countless countries around the world know that there is a Montana in the United States and a snowy mountain ranch of the Morgan family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Hao borrowed the Morgan family's Snow Mountain Ranch to send invitations to several influential companies around the world, and within a few days, the Snow Mountain Ranch became a gathering place for global bigwigs.

In the past few days of waiting, Lu Hao ran into the mountains of Montana to have a good time, and brown bears, white-tailed deer, elk and other animals were hunted a lot.

On the contrary, Bill Gates stayed in the snowy mountain ranch sulking and didn't go anywhere, but he didn't expect that he would fall into Lu Hao's hands again.

Dangdang!

There was a knock on the door, Bill Gates opened the door, and Buffett walked in and told him the bad news that his nemesis, Sun President McNeely, had come to the Snow Mountain Ranch.

Bill Gates sneered, "Harry is going to play robbery while the fire is going to be played again, I suffered a big loss from him when I was in Huaxia, I didn't expect him to want to copy this scene!" ”

Buffett shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "What makes us helpless is that we know that he is going to take advantage of the fire to rob, but we still have to fall for him, because we can't get along with money." ”

Bill Gates opened a bottle of Yueqingyun mineral water, poured two glasses, gave Buffett a glass and said, "Compared with Apple, Sun's threat to Microsoft is simply not worth mentioning."

Steve Jobs' Next company developed an OSX operating system that was programmed in C, C++ and Objective-C with closed-source coding, which was the deadly threat to us at Microsoft.

The scariest thing is that Harry's team also has an operating system that is even more advanced than our latest Windows X operating system. Recently, Microsoft technologists are adopting Matrix Technology's e-language programming operating system, and they have found that the e-language is at least two generations ahead of the existing programming languages we use today. ”

Buffett frowned and asked, "That's why you guys at Microsoft have repeatedly backed down....... I used to wonder why you used 360 to push system patches, but it turned out that you had a last resort. ”

Bill Gates nodded slightly, "That's why I've recently sold a lot of Microsoft stock to recoup funds." ”

"That's the only good way you can do it, and it's not only good for you, but it's also great for Microsoft." ”

"Hmm!" Bill Gates sighed and said, "I've always asked Harry to own more than 5% of Microsoft's shares, but he always excuses himself because he doesn't have the money, and I can't do anything about it."

Especially since Microsoft's stock price has recently exceeded $400 billion, it is even more impossible for him to hold 5% of the shares, so I can only sell Microsoft shares and hold a lot of shares in Harry's company.

It is not a loss of money to hold Harry's shares, but it is impossible to have control, Harry owns three times the proportion of shares, even if he only holds 15% of the shares, he can firmly control the company. ”

Warren Buffett took a sip of water from the teacup and said meaningfully, "I am used to drinking this Yue Qingyun, and I don't drink other water anymore." ”

Bill Gates nodded silently, he understood the meaning of Buffett's words, telling him that he and Harry were very good partners, and he didn't want to sell the shares of Harry's companies he held, so he wanted to think of other ways not to stare at the shares in his hands.

"Now that only Yahoo is listed under Matrix Technology, it is impossible for me to buy a large number of Yahoo shares in the secondary market, and now Yahoo's stock price is $37, but the daily trading volume is so small that no one will sell it."

After thinking about it for a long time, Warren Buffett said, "Another way is for you to buy a large number of shares from shareholders who have acquired shares of Apple at a price several times higher...... Based on our long-term tracking and analysis of Harry, I'm sure that Harry takes Apple very seriously, second only to the founding of Matrix Technologies. ”

Warren Buffett's words reminded Bill Gates that some time ago, Haohai's acquisition of ARM, although there was a lot of movement, Haohai also attached great importance to it, and for the development of ARM, it spent a lot of money to acquire several related companies around the world and merge them into ARM, but Harry has never shown up for this, and I heard that they have not been to ARM's UK headquarters so far.

Bill Gates laughed, "I see, I'm going to get in touch with companies that might sell their shares, and I'll get their Apple shares at any cost." ”

Sequoia Capital President Durr attached great importance to Lu Hao's invitation, and he did not send a representative to come, but personally led JK Bob and other senior executives to the Snow Mountain Ranch.

"Do you think this is going to be a good investment?"

After reading the information in his hand, Durr was a little hard to believe that Lu Hao would offer five percent of Apple's stock for $1 billion.

Not only him, but even JK Bob, who admires Lu Hao very much, is a little incredulous, "We have been partners and rivals with Harry, and we also deeply admire his ability to turn stones into gold, but I think this time he has set Apple's price too high." ”

Terry, vice president of Sequoia Capital, also agreed, "There is no rigorous evaluation by a third party at all, it is Harry's personal unreasonable asking price, which is seriously inconsistent with our investment philosophy, and I am against this investment." ”

"Last year, Ellison made a high-profile announcement to us that the PC was dead, and convinced us with the example of Matrix Technology, and we all agreed with his words - to push all products to the Internet. At the beginning, we and Japan's SoftBank and other popular companies also agreed with his opinion......."

Terry said, "We understand what the president's concern is, that is, all the investors who follow Harry's investment have not failed, you are afraid that we will miss a good opportunity, but we must also follow the concept of value investing, and we can't do things blindly." ”

After thinking about it for a while, J.K. Bob said, "If this investment is in the Internet industry, I will definitely convince you to make this investment, but I have no interest in investing in hardware equipment in the PC industry, so I am in favor of this ......."

"Ringing ringing!"

Before J.K. Bob could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the ringing in the room, and Durr quickly took the phone with a bright smile on his face, and when he put down the phone, he couldn't contain his excitement and said, "It was Microsoft's Bill Gates who called me just now."
