Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon
Chapter 75: Microsoft Corporation
January 27
Li Zhiwen and others were packing their luggage at the manor and preparing to head to Seattle. As early as the 20th, Curatos Blank heard a message saying that Microsoft’s shareholding was almost over. The two shareholders of the company, Bill Gezi and Paul Allen asked to see this mysterious investor, and Li Zhiwen thought for a while, and there was nothing left to do with Britain, so he agreed to their request. After all, Li Zhiwen is the father of the gold master, and Microsoft is not the system of the previous life. overlord.
As for the acquisition of the Rover brand, Holland Kramer went to the Leland Automobile Group yesterday and received a grand reception from the Leland Group. They had long wanted to abandon the loss-making brand, but no one took over.
Besides, the Rover brand is not the pro-son of Leland Automobile Group.
In addition to the news from the Ministry of Finance, they agreed to this acquisition, so naturally the person in charge of Leland Automobile Group is very enthusiastic.
Hearing the news, Li Zhiwen did not intend to stay in the UK. After all, negotiations cannot be resolved in one or two days. He handed over the acquisition affairs to Holland Kramer and set foot on the plane to Seattle.
After all, it is getting closer and closer to the New Year. He also wants to return to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year. He can't experience the taste of the New Year abroad.
......
At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a Boeing 747 slowly landed on the runway from the air. Li Zhiwen and his party walked down the plane’s suspension ladder, looking listless. There is no way, anyone can do it several times in a month. Everyone's running around will reveal a sense of exhaustion.
Curatos Blanc and Zhai Zuchang had already been waiting outside the airport. Seeing Li Zhiwen and others, he rushed forward and said, "Boss, I'm sorry, please take a trip. The car is ready. Yes, the hotel is ready. Let’s take a break today. I asked two shareholders of Microsoft to visit their company tomorrow."
"Let's go, Curatos, lead the way ahead, flying on the plane is really tired, I have to take a good rest." Li Zhiwen complained.
"Okay, boss." Kuratos led the way.
When he arrived at the hotel, Li Zhiwen suppressed his sleepiness and listened to Curatos Blank’s report.
"Boss, Microsoft and I have agreed on a 30% share of US$3 million." Curatos Blank said.
"Is there only these? Can't it be controlled?" Li Zhiwen frowned and asked.
"Yes, the boss, two shareholders of Microsoft, Paul Allen is okay. He is a technology house. He doesn't care about the number of shares. He just wants Microsoft to succeed and apply his products."
"As for Bill Geez, although his technology is below Paul Allen, he is in charge of Microsoft Corporation. He occupies 60% of the company's businessmen. Although he is a programmer on the surface, it depends on my contact with him. , I think he is a thorough businessman, he is very important to the control of the company, I have also proposed holdings, but he would rather not invest, than let the company be dominated by us." Curatos Blanc said .
"Well, see these two guys tomorrow, we will make plans." Li Zhiwen said.
"Okay, boss, then I won't bother you to rest." Curatos Blank said.
Li Zhiwen waved his hand and let it go down.
The next day, Li Zhiwen and his party followed Curatos Blank to Microsoft in Redmond.
Paul Allen and Bill Geez have been waiting outside the company. They all understand that this is the most important thing for the company, and they can’t help but care.
Seeing Curatos Blanc walking towards the company, and walking in front of him was a yellow-skinned young man. The two knew that the yellow-skinned young man is today’s master, and hurriedly greeted them. Said: "Good morning this gentleman, good morning Mr. Blank."
Curatos Blank introduced the two: "Bill, Paul, this is Li Zhiwen, the chairman of our company."
pointed to a young man and introduced Li Zhiwen: "Boss, this is Bill Getz, chairman of Microsoft Corporation, and the other is his partner Paul Allen."
"Hello, Mr. Li, let me show you our company." Bill Gezi was born into a businessman's family, and he wins more than Paul Allen, a technical mansion.
"Okay, let's take a look." Li Zhiwen said.
Bill Gesci led the way and introduced Microsoft to everyone. In fact, there is nothing to introduce, just like an ordinary startup company. There are only a dozen people in total, and everyone is busy sitting at the desk.
"Mr. Li, this is the BASIC interpreter invented by our company. Our company is the largest manufacturer of BASIC interpreters in Seattle." Bill Geez pointed to the company's top-brand product and proudly introduced Li Zhiwen.
"Oh, it's really amazing." Li Zhiwen praised noncommittal.
Seeing Li Zhiwen's indifferent appearance, Bill Geese was a little frustrated, and stopped introducing the BASIC interpreter, but greeted everyone to the office.
Pour a cup of coffee for Li Zhiwen and others, and said to Li Zhiwen: "Mr. Li, I want to know why you want to invest in our company. It can be seen that you are not interested in our company's products."
"Indeed, Bill, you are right. In my opinion, your product is not very competitive in the market. There are indeed many companies like yours in Seattle, but I invest in people, not products."
"I see, Mr. Li." Bill Gaither said.
"The two gentlemen, let's talk about our shareholding." Li Zhiwen said.
"Mr. Li, hasn't the situation of the shareholding already been said, Mars Capital invested 3 million US dollars to account for 30% of the shares?" Paul Allen said.
"No, no, I'm not satisfied with Kuratos' negotiations, Mr. Allen, Microsoft is just a small company, and companies like yours are unknown in Seattle. Do you think your company is worth 10 million US dollars now?" Li Zhiwen Teased.
"What do you think, Mr. Lee?" Paul Allen asked.
"Mr. Allen, I am very optimistic about you, I am willing to invest 4 million US dollars to account for 51% of the shares." Li Zhiwen said.
"Impossible, we can't give up control of the company." Before Paul Allen spoke, Bill Geez yelled.
"Then what are you going to do, although I am optimistic about Mr. Allen, it does not mean that I want to invest in Microsoft. Mr. Allen, are you interested in our cooperation with a company?" Li Zhiwen said with a smile. One gains, although he knows that Paul Allen can't play Bill Gates times.
You must know that in 1982, when Paul Allen had to leave Microsoft for cancer syndrome, Bill Getz not only didn't help him, but wanted to buy nearly 10% of Microsoft shares from him.
Li Zhiwen knows that he cannot control Microsoft at this time, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible in the future. He is targeting Paul Allen’s stock.
But Li Zhiwen disappointed, Paul Allen immediately said: "Mr. Li, I will not leave Microsoft. If you do not invest in Microsoft, please leave."
Li Zhiwen showed an annoyed look and said, "It's a pity, Mr. Allen, I think you are the brain of Microsoft. In this case, let's continue to talk about Microsoft's investment. In this way, I can invest 3 million US dollars to account for 30% of the total. Shares, but I want to get the right to vote."
Li Zhiwen continued to **** the hearts of the two of them~www.readwn.com~ In his opinion, it doesn't matter if they succeed now, as long as there is a crack between the two.
"No, sir, what you do is no different from holding holdings," Bill Geez said.
Li Zhiwen stretched out his hands and said, "This is not good, that is not good, then what are you going to do?"
"Sir, according to what we said before, 3 million US dollars accounted for 30% of the shares," Bill Gates said.
"That's impossible, it's no different from before, I don't agree." Li Zhiwen said.
Paul Allen looked at the two people's quarrel between you and me, a little irritable, and said, "Bill, Mr. Li, don’t quarrel. In this way, Mr. Li will invest 3 million US dollars to account for 35% of the shares. This is our final bottom line. ."
"Well, since Mr. Allen said so, I agree." Li Zhiwen said.
"I won't agree, Paul." Bill Gates said.
Paul Allen felt disgusted with Bill Gates for the first time, because he pulled Bill Gates to drop out of school to start a business. He has always felt guilty about Bill Gates, so the company's shareholding made Bill Gates 60%. , Take 40% by yourself.
Who knows that he is so uninterested and treated like this to the first venture capitalist who wanted to invest in his own company, which made Paul Allen feel disgusted, but Paul Allen must let the company survive, so he said: "Mr. Lee, we I agreed, Bill, the additional 5% of the shares will come from my shares."
Hearing what Paul Allen said, Bill Geez didn't say anything anymore, his shares hadn't been reduced, and his interests hadn't been harmed, so it didn't matter.
The two parties signed the contract signed by Zhai Zuchang. Li Zhiwen wrote a cash check for $3 million and handed it to Paul Allen, and then left Microsoft.
