To buy AMD's voting shares, Feng Yu had no choice but to buy the non-voting shares from the shareholders. Actually, the shareholders had wanted to sell their non-voting shares and are reluctant to sell their voting shares. After all, AMD is already making profits, and the share prices will recover sooner or later.
After a series of complicated transactions, Wind and Rain Holdings owns more than 30% of AMD's shares, and 50% of the voting shares. Of course, Sanders's voting shares have increased to 40%, and the other shareholders, Kingston and Nvidia, have 10% of the voting shares.
Both Nvidia and Kingston are controlled by Wind and Rain Holdings, and Wind and Rain Holdings owns 10% of the voting shares.
AMD's board of directors is still around, but there is one more person. That person is from Wind and Rain Holdings.
Although Sanders had lost his controlling stake in AMD, he did not suffer any losses. He got some Kingston and Nvidia shares, including the voting shares. Although the shares are not a lot, it is enough to unite the three companies. At the same time, he became a director of those two companies, and he will still be the Chairman of AMD.
These are all Ralph's suggestions, and Feng Yu is satisfied. This way, the entire PC industry is only lacking an operating system.
Lenovo Kingsoft had followed Feng Yu's instructions to develop a Win7 operating system, and Feng Yu wanted to get it done in one go. But Feng Yu had forgotten that the Win7 file is too big, and many developers are not confident. Such a large file will take up a lot of hard drives. The mainstream hard drives are only 80 GB, and 160 GB is the high-end hard drive.
In the end, the development of the operating system is not as fast as expected, especially when Feng Yu wanted Lenovo Kingsoft to develop the operating system that is compatible with the Win system.
Luckily, Microsoft was sued for monopolizing the market, and they released a lot of Microsoft's basic code for all companies to participate in the development of the operating system. But this is bullshit. How can others develop the operating system with just a few codes?
Maybe some of them might be able to improve the operating system, but in the end, the improvements will be sold back to Microsoft. This is equivalent to Microsoft spending some code and getting a lot of unpaid programmers.
But for Lenovo Kingsoft, there are many improvements. But for Lenovo Kingsoft, there are a lot of improvements. Lenovo Kingsoft had been cracking Microsoft's operating system. It was not just cracking, but it wanted to crack it completely.
If it was an innovative product, Feng Yu naturally hoped that his product could be unique and not be compatible with others. But if someone else did it first, then they would have to find a way to make it compatible. That way, they would be able to fight for more users.
In five years, Feng Yu wanted to change the landscape of the computer industry. Now, even the most basic crystalline silicon factory had started production, and the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain were all under his control. If this still could not succeed, he had nothing to say.
There were precedents of companies that came up with their own hardware and software. IBM was one of them, but they were not as crazy as Feng Yu.
…
These few days, Feng Yu was very happy. The matter of buying a share had finally been settled. He went to the arena to watch the first round of the playoffs. Although the Wind and Rain team did not perform well this year, the attendance was high, and the team's playing style was good to watch.
The only headache for the team was Hakeem Olajuwon's injury. He might not be able to recover before the playoffs, and they can only wait until next year.
Their dream of defending their championship was over, but the team was not worried. Without Hakeem Olajuwon, there was only one blue-collared center, but Coach Karl still came up with a lot of tactics. The defense was also focused on marking the perimeter. If the opponent's center scored consecutively during a stalemate, they would use foul tactics.
With this strategy and good performance on the perimeter, the Wind and Rain team got fourth place. Coincidentally, the Blazers were in fifth place.
Paul Allen looked at the lineup and wanted to laugh out loud. The Wind and Rain Team does not even have a qualified center forward. That blue-collared player with a rubbish contract can't even run, and he is destined to retire next year. The Wind and Rain Team will surely crush this team!
The Wind and Rain team's perimeter defense? Coincidentally, the Blazers' perimeter defense is also one of the best in the league. More importantly, Pippen's form had returned this season. Last year, Pierce was very arrogant. This year, he will know what an all-star is!
So, Paul Allen came to the Wind and Rain team's home stadium to watch. He wants to watch the Wind and Rain team get crushed. This time, he did not bring the Blazers' fans, and he is more low-key than before.
This time, it is not just the team's revenge. Paul Allen wants to win the championship, and his team had paid a lot of luxury tax this year.
As for the other teams in the Western Conference, other than the Lakers, the Blazers did not care about any of them. If the Wind and Rain team can beat the Lakers, why can't the Blazers do the same? The Blazers have six players inside the three-point line, and each player can commit six fouls. That's 36 fouls, and the players outside the three-point line can also commit fouls. This is enough to give the Lakers a hard time.
As for the Eastern Conference, Paul Allen does not think any team is a match for the Blazers.
"Paul, how have you been?" Feng Yu saw Paul Allen and went over to greet him. But to Paul Allen, Feng Yu's smile is annoying.
"Hmph! I am doing well. If I can beat your team by more than 20 points, I will be in a better mood!"
How can Paul Allen be in a good mood? His investments in the stock market had suffered heavy losses, especially Microsoft's accounts. Microsoft's share prices had fallen again, and Paul Allen had suffered heavy losses.
Paul Allen is furious. You had left Microsoft and even stepped on them. That's fine, but you can't keep stepping on them!
Paul Allen realized that after he met Feng Yu, his luck had not been good! He had made some money from Microsoft, but Feng Yu had ruined his investments.
Paul Allen had never thought that he was not a good businessman. He would not listen to his subordinates' suggestions and would always do things his own way. Being smart does not mean you are good at doing business.
Not only Paul Allen. Even Bill Gates's net worth had shrunk. On this year's < Forbes > list, Bill Gates' net worth is less than 10 billion USD ahead of Feng Yu. If Bill Gates is not careful, he might be overtaken by Feng Yu. After all, Feng Yu has lots of businesses.
Most of the tycoons on < Forbes > list had shrunk, but Feng Yu's net worth is increasing. This made Paul Allen jealous. Paul Allen's net worth had fallen below 10 billion USD, and he is overtaken by two Hong Kong tycoons.
Since when did he, Paul Allen, become a nobody in Asia?!
All these made Paul Allen hate Feng Yu even more. But he does not have any way to stop Feng Yu. Luckily, Paul Allen still has his team to help him vent his anger!
