Chapter 166: 365 blessings

"Dwarf oil, the two little dolls are so cute." A swishing female voice was heard, a red tunic dress, and slender high heels clattering on the marble floor. "Honey, look how beautiful this girl is, and Grace and Chloe will be so beautiful in a few years."

"Mr. Murdoch, Ms. Deng, meet again." Chen Bo saw that the person came and replied politely.

"I'm sorry, something went wrong when I took off, I should have arrived early." The 73-year-old media tycoon said with a wrinkled smile on his face.

Overall, the two worked together quite happily, and Wendy Deng officially became the CEO of MySpace, but he was also vigorous and no longer pestered him.

"Gates is the host here, so you don't have to apologize to me." Chen Bo said with a smile, it doesn't matter if you come to me or not, the last time we met was in New York to sign an agreement, with his $2 billion, he bought a lot of capital, which is like a tiger with wings.

Wendy Deng squatted down to play with the two children for a while, chatted quietly with Angelina, and glanced at him from time to time, her eyes were full of drama, staring at him with a chill behind his back. So I casually found an excuse to quickly hide to the side, to see when the banquet in the restaurant would start, and if it was too late, I would go get something to eat first, and I couldn't go hungry.

"This woman is very scheming, try to have as little interaction with her as possible." Chen Bo said in a low voice.

"I can see it, but I thought you would encourage me to communicate with her, after all, they are all Chinese."

"I love my country and I love my people, but I'm not a chauvinistic extremist racist. If it is good, it should be shown, and if it is wrong, it should be admitted. If it is a misunderstanding caused by cultural differences, then seek common ground while reserving differences. You can't force me to believe in God, and I won't ask you to read Confucius by heart. Chen Bo patiently explained that the Chinese account for more than one-sixth of the world's total, which is inevitable, but he will not see a Chinese who has to defend it to the death.

There are good people and bad people everywhere, and there are also extreme thinkers, looking for the intersection of each other, and striving for the common intersection of the two sides is reasonable.

"Well, I know you're a responsible person, take it easy!" Angelina took his arm and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so sensitive, I am not the same person I used to be, and I will have my own proportions." ”

"You are exactly what I want to see now." Chen Bo nodded.

As he said, Angelina is still the woman who is both sexy and queenly in public, but in private she is much gentler, and often shows the tender side of a little woman, which is the best recognition of a man.

Chen Bo's family of four has a very high return rate, at least taking up the flash space of many photographers, one is a Silicon Valley elite who is in the limelight, and the other is a sexy queen of Hollywood. Coupled with a pair of cute boys and girls, they are naturally extremely popular without shying away from the camera, and this is how the gossip material comes from.

And the reporters all know that he also has a hot confidante in New York, but in the face of the protagonist's strength and non-cooperation, no one dares to go to the interview, so they have to take some photos with stories to make a difference.

As night fell, the charity dinner officially began, and both political stars and business celebrities appeared in the show.

Everyone else was busy talking, no one cared about the delicious food provided by the Four Seasons Hotel, only Chen Bo didn't care about that, took the tongs and kept taking the food and handing it to the plates of the two little guys, and then took them to the sofa in the corner to sit down.

As for the social thing, let Angelina do it for you, he has become a full-time dad, and he is deeply involved in it.

"Catherine, call uncle." Bill Gates dragged a girl in front of them, not to mention her father, especially the freckles on his face.

"Hello uncle." Catherine said generously.

"Hello, beautiful Ms. Gates." Chen Bo smiled and took her hand, gave a kiss to the hand, and pointed to the two bear children with their mouths full of oil stains and said, "Can you take them to play?" Just for a while. ”

"Willing to help." Catherine lifted the corners of her skirt and made a court curtsy, which was also interesting. Then he whispered a few words behind Chen Jinyu and Chen Jiayan's heads, and the two little guys ran away with her.

Catherine is the eldest daughter of Bill Gates, and she is about eight or nine years old, and she has been educated by two high-IQ parents since she was a child, so she naturally won't behave badly, and it shouldn't be a big problem to see a child, and besides, there are his bodyguards outside the venue, so he doesn't have to worry about what problems will happen.

"Sit down, Bill." Chen Bo invited casually, as if he was the master here, "I think you didn't let me come here to let me eat, right?" ”

"Since you know everything, do you need me to talk about it anymore?" After Bill Gates sat down across from him, he smiled lightly, as if everything was expected.

"Then I'll listen to your conditions first." After Chen Bo finished speaking, he picked up the remaining food on the plate and ate it, and even wrapped up the rest of the two children.

This scene was also seen by the richest man, and he returned to a normal smile with a slight strangeness on his face.

"How about Foxail give it to me? The price you open. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to satisfy my appetite?" Chen Bo said and stuffed another piece of barbecue meat into his mouth and chewed it.

"As long as you're willing to sell, I can afford it." Bill Gates said confidently.

"Oh......" Chen Bo brought the water cup, took a big sip of it, and even burped, "I calculate, there are 365 sunrises a year, then I will collect 36.5 billion US dollars from you, and the right is to be regarded as 365 blessings." ”

The smile on Bill Gates' face disappeared in an instant, and he even frowned, obviously he didn't understand this meme.

In the last fiscal year, Microsoft's revenue from Indos alone, Office's product packages reached $9.2 billion, and server systems and other software revenue reached $2.5 billion, with a total revenue of $20.1 billion and a profit of about $7 billion.

But MSN's loss reached $590 million, including Hotmail. The home game console Xbox is also a huge loss, reaching 900 million. In comparison, Microsoft's mobile operating system, indosMobil, is much lower, at $170 million.

Before Foxmail arrived, MSN was close to turning a profit, with a $60 million shortfall, but it plummeted after the shock. It doesn't matter if the user runs away, the key to TMD is that no one is willing to pay for it, which directly cuts off Microsoft's financial path and causes huge losses in financial reports.

When the data was released in January, it directly caused the stock price to fall by 7%, but it took a lot of effort to reassure investors.

"Are you kidding me? Old! Bill Gates suppressed the fire in his heart.

"Tease you? How so, dear Bill. Chen Bo pretended to be surprised and said, "I will never sell Foxmail, and this is just the price of Foxlive, you have to know how much traffic he can bring to Ant Search, which is not at all made up for by money." ”

"Your offer is outrageous." Bill Gates said with a frown.

"Didn't you tell me to say that?" Chen Bo asked rhetorically, just about to say that he hated not having money and pretending to be forced the most.

Bill Gates is like a fly stuck in his throat, and he can't speak in his throat, no wonder he became friends with Ellison and is the godfather of Jobs' daughter, this TMD is a complete bastard!! A raccoon dog bandit.

But everyone knows that Microsoft has money, and even though it makes an annual profit of $7 billion, they have plenty of cash flow, which is tens of billions of dollars. These are all the belongings that they have saved over the years, and after the Internet bubble was burst, they were busy with various lawsuits, for fear of being ordered to be broken up by the federal government, which also indirectly affected their layout, so they have not done much.

The last big acquisition was in 2002 for $1.45 billion to acquire Navison, an ERP software manufacturer for midsize companies. But in the direction of the Internet, it can be traced back to the acquisition of Hotmail in '97, which only cost 600 million US dollars. In the past seven years, a Foxlive instant messaging client dared to ask him for $36.5 billion, which is really TMD's irony.

But Bill Gates thought about it carefully, and this is also in line with his style, a MySpace can be sold for $1.99 billion. The claim for a judicial fraud case can reach 66.6 billion, and it is really not easy to get good things from him.

If he still wants to insist, he can only choose Skype, but this popular software has no mailbox support, and what he needs now is a mailbox entrance. The world's elite white-collar users have left the camp of MSN and switched to the arms of Foxlive, which is not something that Skype can solve, and even if it is acquired, it may be difficult to achieve the ultimate goal.

"How's it going, Bill? If you think you can, just fax my office, and if Microsoft doesn't have the money, forget it. Chen Bo deliberately stimulated him and said, "Why don't you try Gmail?" Maybe Larry Page is a bit easier to talk than I am. ”

Larry Page? Phew! That's not a good bird, Bill Gates is vomiting blood in his heart, is it this urine sex to do searches? I didn't realize that I had also stepped into the pit of searching, but I hadn't started to exert my strength yet.

"Foxlive is a good product, but your offer is too far from the actual value." Bill Gates finally swayed left and right and chose to continue to compromise with him, rather than choose someone else, because the market is so big that there is no choice. Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan will only be more stubborn, email service is the lifeblood for him, and even if he takes it down, can he beat Foxmail?

"AOL and Time Warner merge for $160 billion. HP's acquisition of Compaq for $23.6 billion, which is not a premium? Chen Bo said earnestly, "Foxlive is equivalent to a lifeline to me, isn't it worth the price?" ”

"It's outrageous." Bill Gates still shook his head, refusing to pay a high price if he wanted it.

"This is not a vegetable market to buy vegetables, you and I are both people with status, let's talk about this today. If you really want it, then come up with real sincerity and quotation, and the fax machine in my office is waiting 24 hours a day! After Chen Bo finished speaking, he got up and left, and his tall back disappeared into the crowd.
