Paul Allen had been looking for an opportunity to attack Feng Yu. Of course, the one thing he wants to do is to kick Feng Yu out of Microsoft's board of directors.
But Feng Yu's control over the Chinese market was too strong, and Bill Gates trusted Feng Yu a lot. This made it hard for Bill Gates to carry out his plan.
But Paul Allen does not think Bill Gates will work with Feng Yu for long. When Win98 is released, Microsoft did not include Microsoft Office for free. This is proof.
Win98 is already a very low price, and Microsoft will not continue to give such a large discount. More than 60% of Hua Xia's PC systems are using Microsoft's original operating system. This is a victory for Microsoft.
When Microsoft monopolizes Hua Xia's operating system market, Hua Xia's other software companies will be hit hard, and they can raise their prices.
After Paul Allen learned about Microsoft's plans from Bill Gates, he no longer objects to Microsoft working with Feng Yu. He believes Bill Gates. When Microsoft controls the Hua Xia market, Feng Yu will be kicked out of the board!
Paul Allen had wanted to wait patiently until Feng Yu is kicked out of the board, and then he can mock Feng Yu.
But now, Paul Allen cannot wait any longer!
Feng Yu's team had criticized Paul Allen in the media and even used their actions to slap his face.
Paul Allen became < Time >'s cover man, and when his team was promoting, Feng Yu's team exposed something.
< Time > had contacted Feng Yu first, but Feng Yu rejected them three times. If this is a basketball match, Feng Yu will be the core player, and Paul Allen is only a substitute.
Paul Allen was about to explode with rage!
I am only a substitute? I am the second largest shareholder of Microsoft and a regular on the World's Richest List. How can I be a substitute? I am also one of Microsoft's co- founders. Without me, there will be no Microsoft! My IQ is one of the top ten in history, and how much is Feng Yu?
That Feng Yu was just an outsider. After making some money in the financial market, he invested in Microsoft shares. If not for Bill Gates, how can Feng Yu enter the board?
Look at what Feng Yu had done after entering Microsoft's board of directors. Not only did Feng Yu miss all the board meetings, but he also asked his assistant to do some new work. Does he think Microsoft is his home?!
This time, Feng Yu had the controlling stake in the video game console production. This made Bill very unhappy. He believes that if he can find a good reason, Feng Yu will be kicked out of the board.
On the board of directors, other than Ballmer, who was full of praise for Feng Yu, everyone else was dissatisfied with Feng Yu.
Paul Allen had been looking for this opportunity for a long time. Today, his people finally told him a piece of good news. This news might make Bill even more determined to kick Feng Yu out of the board.
… …
"Paul, I know you are not on good terms with Feng, and everyone in the company knows about it. But Feng is very important to the company's strategy. Just wait for another two years. We only need two years, and we will control the Hua Xia market. At that time, we will not need Feng Yu's help." Bill Gates persuaded.
Paul Allen had come to look for Bill Gates and told him to kick Feng Yu out of the board. This was the ninth time this year, and it was only March.
In other words, Paul Allen would talk to him about it almost every week.
"Bill Gates, if Feng continues to be the company's director, it will affect the company."
"Affect what? Paul, forget about the team. That is only a video game, and it is not profitable. " Bill Gates thought Paul Allen was making excuses because his team was defeated by Feng Yu's team.
"I am not talking about the team!" Paul Allen felt like he was going crazy. Why did everyone think that he was particularly concerned about the team's defeat?
Although Paul Allen was concerned about the team's defeat, it was nothing compared to Microsoft's profits. How much is the team worth? Also, Bill Gates was right. The team was not profitable.
Paul Allen hoped to kick Feng Yu out of the board, and he will get more shares at the end of the year. This way, he will get more profits than the team.
Also, this will be a bigger blow to Feng Yu. At that time, he can mock Feng Yu to his heart's content.
"Bill Gates, I am talking about Microsoft. Microsoft has an agreement with those hardware manufacturers, and we will not be involved in the production of PC hardware, right? "
"That's right. We are producing video game consoles and not PC hardware. Although we will use some hardware in it." Bill Gates was puzzled. Why did Paul Allen ask him about this?
"Then all the directors cannot be involved in hardware production, right?"
"You are talking about Feng Yu owning Lenovo shares? This issue does not affect Microsoft. He is Feng, and Microsoft is Microsoft. Also, his PC is not Microsoft's brand. It is Lenovo, and his PC is mainly sold in Hua Xia. His PC is from Hua Xia's country. "
"No. I am not talking about Lenovo. I am talking about a graphics card company called Nvidia."
"Nvidia? I have heard of this company before. But what has this got to do with Feng? What has it got to do with Microsoft? Isn't it normal for hardware manufacturers to use Microsoft's products? "
"But what if Feng Yu owns the controlling stake in this company? This is a graphics card company, and Feng Yu is Microsoft's shareholder and director. Will the other hardware manufacturers think we are using Feng Yu to enter the hardware market? "Paul Allen gave Bill Gates a possibility.
"Err … this is not possible. That Nvidia has nothing to do with Microsoft. Also, Microsoft does not own any shares in Nvidia, and the other hardware manufacturers will not say anything. "
Bill Gates was having a headache. Last year, Microsoft was found guilty of violating the anti-monopoly laws for bundling their products. Now, the US, Europe, and many other countries are suing Microsoft for monopolizing the market.
If Microsoft gets involved in the hardware manufacturing industry now, even if it is misunderstood, Microsoft will be in deep trouble.
"Bill Gates, don't think about it. Feng is an ambitious person. He wants to be the top PC company in the industry, including hardware and software. Last year, when he claimed he is the World's Second Richest Man, how arrogant was he? You might still be ahead of him this year, but what about next year? If he really manages to combine hardware and software, then his assets will definitely skyrocket, even surpassing yours! "
Paul Allen knew that Bill Gates still valued the title of the world's richest man, even though he had always said that he didn't care about it.
Bill Gates paused for a while. "Seems like I need to speak to Feng Yu."
