Chapter 85 Semi-Annual Meeting Notification Letter
When Fan Jianxin went to the office to pick up the letter, there was a male teacher he was not familiar with, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sitting next to Mr. Xie Tian, holding a postal album and waiting for him.
Teacher Xie Tian briefly explained things to Fan Jianxin, and then continued to correct the homework.
Fan Jianxin is a little strange...... It turned out that the male teacher surnamed Xian wanted the postage stamps of the United States on his letter.
"Oh, Mr. Xian, hello! ...... Do you also like philately? ”
"yes." The male teacher answered for a moment and asked, "Fan Jianxin, you also love stamp collecting?" ”
"Yes, I've collected almost 20,000 stamps."
"Ah, 20,000 sheets...... That's a lot! ”
Fan Jianxin thought to himself, what I collected are all precious philatelic products, and the price of the future will be scary! Seeing that this male teacher, who was a bit of literature and art, also liked stamp collecting, he said: "However, what I lack most is stamps from other countries......
"Uh, you're also collecting foreign stamps, oh me..... That's it. Teacher Xian said and prepared to leave.
"Don't be in a hurry......"
Fan Jianxin didn't expect this male teacher surnamed Xian to be so self-loving and a little shy, how can this be suitable for teaching!
Haven't you heard of "eat a piece of meat with a thick skin, but can't eat it with a thin skin"?
He saw that he was holding a stamp album, and wanted to hang his appetite so that he could talk to him about the exchange, but when he saw this situation, he hurriedly said: "If you like this stamp, take it." ”
When the male teacher heard this, his face was happy, but he turned his face and hesitated a little: "I, I can't take your stamps for nothing......"
"Then you can exchange it for other stamps."
Fan Jianxin originally wanted to be humble again, but he was afraid that this male teacher surnamed Xian would not know the taste, and his face would be too shapiard, and he would not be able to exchange it, so he gave it away in vain.
In line with the principle of fair exchange, Mr. Xian specially brought a stamp album, which gave Fan Jianxin a good impression.
He handed the stamp album to Fan Jianxin and asked Fan Jianxin to choose one at random.
Fan Jianxin was not polite, took his stamp album and flipped through it from beginning to end.
Most of the stamps collected in the album are stamps from the sixties and seventies, most of them are ordinary surface mail, and there are also a small number of four-sheet, souvenir sheets, and commemorative stamps with the prefix "Wen". Even ordinary surface mail, some of which can increase in price dozens or hundreds of thousands of times in later generations.
Fan Jianxin suddenly turned to an all-red "Wen 6-5", a picture of a female tractor hand plowing the field, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.
He also had one of these stamps, but the condition, color, and tooth marks ...... But it's not as good as this one.
"Is this okay?" Fan Jianxin pointed to the stamp and said.
"Yes." The male teacher seemed relieved.
"Alas......" Fan Jianxin sighed softly in his heart, this is just an uninformed philatelic enthusiast. A letter sent by the United States - a used stamp, he was willing to exchange a "Wen 6-5" in exchange?!
How ignorant is that?!
Fan Jianxin directly opened the letter, took out the letter and saw that it was a notice letter, the content of which was that Microsoft notified him to hold a semi-annual board meeting.
He handed the envelope to the male teacher.
This kind of stamped stamp is very difficult to remove in good condition.
The male teacher got the envelope with the stamp of the United States, and thanked Fan Jianxin again and again.
"I suffered a big loss, but I didn't know it, and I was so grateful!" Fan Jianxin's mind couldn't help but emerge from the footage of the later sketch "Selling Abduction......
"You're too social, kid. Oh, it's a letter from the United States, you won't be going to do anything again, will you? Teacher Xie Tian saw Fan Jianxin open a notification letter written in English, and his face showed a look of doubt and unhappiness.
"Hehe, Mr. Xie Tian......" Fan Jianxin said with a smile: "A computer company in the United States notified me to go to a meeting." I...... I'm going to take a few days off. ”
"Leave again?! ......" Teacher Xie Tian looked at Fan Jianxin carefully for a while, stood up from his seat, stretched out his arm, moved his body, and said, "The day after tomorrow is the last mock exam, no leave!" ”
"Hehe, Teacher Xie, don't get excited. I, I can't help it...... You see, this letter is a notice to me to go to the board of directors, and as an independent director of that company, I can't help but go to the board of directors......"
"The board? ...... What board? ”
"There is a computer ...... in the United States called Microsoft. Small company, hired me as its independent director. It's June, and the company is going to hold a regular half-year board meeting, and I can't be absent! ......”
Fan Jianxin explained simply.
"I don't care, I'm not allowed to take a vacation!" Teacher Xie Tian listened, panting and glaring at the boss.
"Teacher Xie, don't worry. I'll go back in the evening and make a cross-ocean call to the company's board secretary to see if I can push off ......."
Teacher Xie Tian saw Fan Jianxin say this, and didn't say anything more.
The male teacher who got the envelope wanted to help Fan Jianxin persuade Teacher Xie Tian to allow Fan Jianxin to leave, but when Fan Jianxin said this, he nodded to Fan Jianxin and prepared to leave.
"Teacher Xian, don't go." Fan Jianxin walked up to the male teacher and said, "I use this ordinary stamp of the United States in exchange for your 'red female tractor driver', you are at a loss......
"No, nothing...... For me, foreign stamps are even more surprising. ”
"Well...... Fan Jianxin thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you another $10 in compensation." You can go to the Friendship Shop and buy some stamps from other countries......"
He paid $10 to the male teacher, but the male teacher was reluctant to ask for it, and it was not until Fan Jianxin said, "If you don't want it, cancel the exchange," that the male teacher took the money.
At this time, 10 dollars was enough to buy a few "Wen 6-5", but Fan Jianxin still insisted on giving Mr. Xian 10 dollars.
"Mr. Xian, the stamps at the beginning of the text have become history, you should keep them well......"
Fan Jianxin knows that some people have collected stamps for a lifetime, and they are still poor.
He couldn't tell the male teacher what kind of stamps were in his album that would be the most valuable in the future. Ever since he heard that Microsoft had suspended its IPO financing, he decided to do as little as possible that would affect the future trend.
Because of his large collection of stamps, the prices of some stamps in the postal market have changed greatly. For example, the price of the Zodiac ticket has increased in advance......
Fan Jianxin told Mr. Xie Tian that making a transatlantic call to the secretary of the board of directors was originally just a delaying tactic, and in order to let Mr. Xie grant him leave, there was a buffer process of emotional acceptance.
The next day, he asked his classmates to bring a fake note to the head teacher, Mr. Xie Tian, and drove to the provincial capital to buy a ticket to the United States.
But when he arrived at the airport, he found that he couldn't go to the country.
In May, a vicious hijacking incident occurred in eastern Liaodong after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The six hijackers, armed with guns, hijacked the Civil Aviation Passenger Plane No. 296 and flew to the South Korea. Fresh.
This is vicious. incident, resulting in the temporary cancellation of many plane flights. Since then, the Civil Aviation Administration has begun to strictly control the qualifications of aircraft passengers......
For a while, it became difficult to buy a plane ticket.
Fan Jianxin's ticket purchase certificate from the neighborhood committee was not recognized by the airport at all, which made him very helpless. I was also very nervous about preparing for the college entrance examination, so I made a phone call to Bill Gates, president of Microsoft Computer Corporation, to explain the matter......
After communication, the board of directors can not go, but he needs to submit a written INED report to the company.
Time was pressing, and last night, he stayed up almost all night to write this semi-annual report of independent directors.
He is far away from the United States and does not know much about the recent situation of Microsoft, although the company routinely sends him some information, documents and the like, and sometimes communicates on the phone. However, writing a semi-annual report really made him brainstorm.
The report should not only point out the direction of Microsoft's development, but also conform to Microsoft's actual situation; He also made Microsoft's board of directors trust him, but he couldn't reveal too much about the "future" of computers.
There is a good salary for being independent and sensible.
According to the trajectory of Microsoft's development in the previous life, this year was the year when Microsoft was actively planning to go public, but because he invested $300,000 in Microsoft, Microsoft suspended the plan to go public.
He had two things to plan, one was to persuade Bill Gates to actively fight for the company's listing on the NASDAQ.
In the United States, it is not an easy task to go public. If an enterprise wants to take the "stupid money" of its shareholders, it must always make the company meet the requirements for listing on the stock exchange.
In the previous life, after several years of hard work, Microsoft was not successfully listed until 1986, and it was able to develop and grow by leaps and bounds.
At this time, how can you suspend and drop the chain?
Second, he proposed that Microsoft should further cooperate with IBM to provide BASIC interpreters and operating systems for IBM PCs.
This is the most critical step for Microsoft to embark on the path of rapid development.
According to the historical development of Microsoft, Microsoft finally signed a contract with IBM for the BASIC interpreter and operating system.
However, the process was tortuous and iterative, and there were several times when Bill Gates was about to give up.
Fan Jianxin is worried that Microsoft may not care about cooperation with IBM after getting his $300,000 investment this year.
Microsoft and IBM are inherently competitive, and negotiations are not easy. In his semi-annual report, Fan Jianxin spent a lot of time arguing about the benefits of Microsoft's cooperation with IBM.
It wasn't until Fan Jianxin sent the INED report to the United States that his heart was relaxed......
Because he was sending a foreign-related letter, he needed to register at the post office in person before he could send it, so he was late for a class for school.
As soon as he arrived at the seat, Ye Zhen reciprocated with cold eyes.
"Hey, Miss Ye, I, where did I offend you? ......”
Ye Zhen's already cold face was even more cold, she didn't speak, she didn't even make a voice with a cold snort, she just glanced at Fan Jianxin's drawer.
"Ah, squad leader, I've been wronged!"
Fan Jianxin couldn't tell what it was like to feel at this time!
In his previous life, he was so unpopular at school, often bullied by his male classmates and ridiculed by his female classmates......
Think about it, it's a kind of sadness to be alive, or a different kind of strength.
However, since he re-entered the class on April 1, the treatment he received in the class has changed drastically.
In the eyes of his teachers, he is a diligent and studious student with excellent grades; In the eyes of his classmates, he is not only a classmate with excellent grades, but also a very capable classmate.
He has become an excellent boy who is envied, jealous and hated by male classmates, admired, and pursued by female classmates.
From Ye Zhen's expression, he knew that he must have put love letters in his drawer again.
Fan Jianxin put down his schoolbag, sat down, and touched the drawer, and found 3 letters!
None of the three letters were signed with addresses or names.
- He doesn't know how many such letters he has received.
Some of them were written by classmates, and some were written by classmates from other classes and grades. Of course, it was all written by female classmates.
His mental age is earlier than the age of impulsiveness. He read all these letters, but never replied or acted excessively.
In his previous life, he had seen a girl throw a love letter handed to her by a boy in front of her in the trash. Later, the girl was viciously retaliated against by the boy......
The three letters he received today, as in the past, were sent directly without stamps.
When I opened it, without exception, it was all love letters of admiration written by female classmates.
One of the letters, with his real name written on the register, and the other two were not signed, but only mentioned his class and some introductions with a distinctive personality.
For example, she often wears a short-sleeved shirt with pink flowers on a white background, a black pleated skirt on the bottom, and red leather shoes on her feet. At the end of class, he often stood in front of the flower stand not far from the entrance of Fan Jianxin's class......
If you follow the prompts, Fan Jianxin can really find the person who wrote the letter.
If it was in his previous life, he would have such a "courtesy" or peach blossom luck, and he could wake up with a smile from a happy sleep!
But being born again, these things don't have any attraction for him.
Even if he was in the same position as Ye Zhen and got along day and night, and Xiao Nizi's eyes had already betrayed his true feelings, he was not in a hurry to pick it up, nor did he break through the paper-thin relationship. He was just silently doing the plan to be a college classmate with her.
Ye Zhen's sour taste hadn't dissipated yet, and Tang Ziyi walked towards him with a blushing face......
