"Hi, Bill. Did you wait long?" Feng Yu smiled and greeted Bill Gates.
Feng Yu arrived at Microsoft's headquarters again. This time, he is different from the last time he left.
When Feng Yu entered Microsoft's office, many people greeted him respectfully. Of course, some employees did not know Feng Yu and were curious who he is. Why are so many people greeting him? Is he one of the company's top executives?
How come they had not met him before? Is he new here?
After asking his old colleagues, they found out this person is Feng Yu. The new employees were shocked. This World's Richest Man is very different from what they had imagined.
When Feng Yu left Microsoft the last time, many people were shocked and sympathetic. They thought Feng Yu was kicked out of the company. But now, Feng Yu had returned as the World's Richest Man, and he had snatched this title from Bill Gates.
When they reached Bill Gates's office, Bill Gates's assistant did not even knock on the door. Bill Gates's assistant opened the door and invited Feng Yu in. Bill Gates's boss had been waiting for Feng Yu for a while and had postponed all his work for the day.
His other work is not as important as meeting Feng Yu.
"Feng, you are here. Have a seat."
Feng Yu sat opposite Bill Gates. Paul Allen entered the office after his assistant served him a cup of tea.
Bill Gates frowned and did not say anything. He only asked his assistant to prepare a cup of tea for Paul Allen.
"Feng, I had invited you here because I have something to discuss with you. We might have some misunderstandings in the past, which caused you to leave Microsoft and sell your Microsoft shares. I think after so long, the misunderstandings should have been cleared up. "Bill Gates asked.
Misunderstanding? Feng Yu took a sip of his tea and did not say anything.
"Feng, I would like to invite you to rejoin Microsoft's board of directors. What do you think?"
Paul Allen looked at Bill Gates in surprise. How could he not know about such an important matter? Whether it was the replacement of an original director or the addition of a new director, it was a major change in the company's management. As the second largest shareholder, he had not received any news about it.
Bill Gates was going too far!
Most people in the world know that Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft, and Microsoft is also owned by Bill Gates. But without Paul Allen, would Microsoft be where it is today? Maybe there will be no Microsoft!
Paul Allen can accept Bill Gates becoming the face of Microsoft. But he cannot control Bill Gates and not care about what Bill Gates thinks.
"Bill, how come I am not aware that the company will be bringing Feng back as the director? The matters of the board of directors can only be decided by the shareholders meeting, right? "
Feng Yu smiled and did not say anything. He was happy to see Paul Allen and Bill Gates quarrel.
Bill Gates is very different from Paul Allen. For example, Bill Gates likes to wear casual clothes, which is to focus on comfort. Even his hair is often messy.
But Paul Allen is different. Every time he goes to the bathroom, he will look at himself in the mirror. He will wear a suit every day, and his tie will not be crooked. His hair must be neat, and his shoes must be polished.
Bill Gates knows how to enjoy his life. He will travel with his wife, climb mountains, and do whatever they like. But Paul Allen spends most of his time at work. Other than Microsoft, he still has his own software company. Although it is not doing well, Paul Allen still has a software company.
This is also why Kirilenko does not like Paul Allen. After leaving Microsoft, Paul Allen had accomplished nothing!
From this point of view, it is strange that both of them can become partners and set up Microsoft. Maybe it is because both of them have the same thoughts.
"Paul, now is not the time to argue about this. I will explain to you later. If you are willing to trust me."
Paul Allen kept quiet after hearing what Bill Gates said. He nodded and did not say another word. Feng Yu, who had wanted to watch the show, was disappointed.
Both of them are too polite. It will be fun if they quarrel, scold, or even spit on each other. If this quarrel is filmed into a short film and screened in the cinemas, it will be worth at least 1 billion USD!
Many people want to see these two Microsoft leaders quarrel with each other. Feng Yu will book more than a thousand screenings to show his support.
"Feng, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Feng Yu shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sorry. I am not interested in being a director in another company."
What's the point of being a director? If you are willing to let me be the Chairman of Microsoft, I will surely be there! Being a director will help Microsoft share prices rise, and Bill Gates and his partners will benefit from it. Feng Yu will not do it.
Paul Allen opened his mouth and did not say anything. But he was furious in his heart. What is Feng Yu talking to me? How can he talk to me like this?
"Feng, I think we can avoid unnecessary competition. We can cooperate in many areas." Bill Gates continued.
"For example?"
"For example, we can develop office software together. We can also work together on smartphone operating systems, mobile phone applications, PC applications, etc. "
What Bill Gates mentioned were the businesses that Lenovo Kingsoft was good at. These businesses overlapped with Microsoft's business and were competitors with Microsoft.
"Ah, Bill Gates, these are all Lenovo Kingsoft's businesses. I do not have any position in that company now. You are asking the wrong person for this." Feng Yu replied.
Bill Gates was stunned. He did not expect Feng Yu to reject him so decisively. As for the reasons Feng Yu gave, it was too ridiculous. Feng Yu does not have any position in that company and is not the controlling shareholder. But he still has a lot of influence over that company.
If Feng Yu agrees, Bill Gates does not believe that Liu Chuanzhi will reject him.
Is it because the conditions are not good enough? Or is it because of something else?
"Feng, we had a good time working together on G-Box. Why don't we work together more?"
"Ok. If you want to work with us on the same model as G-Box, I can help you to persuade Liu Chuanzhi."
Bill Gates' smile froze on his face. Same model as G-Box? How is this possible? Feng Yu is the controlling shareholder, and Microsoft is a shareholder of that company.
G-Box is a new business, and it's because Feng Yu has more advantages. That's why he gave in. But this time, it is different. Office software, mobile phone operating systems, applications, etc. are Microsoft's strengths. How can Microsoft let Feng Yu be the controlling shareholder?
It seems like Feng Yu does not want to talk.
