[The World's Richest Man, Feng Yu, and the former World's Richest Man, Bill Gates, face off again.]
[Feng Yu and Bill Gates want to invest in the Fruit Company at the same time. What is so special about the Fruit Company?]
[Who will succeed? Feng Yu or Bill Gates?]
[Why do Feng Yu and Bill Gates want to invest in the Fruit Company at the same time?]
… …
Feng Yu was looking at the news on the internet, and his face was not looking good. This kind of news is not known by the core people. Feng Yu can guarantee that there will not be any traitors on his side. No one will match the price he offers.
The Rothschild family will also not leak the news. This will increase the difficulty, and they will suffer losses.
Bill Gates will also not leak the news. It will be more beneficial for him to invest in the company quietly. Were they afraid that the other PC manufacturers would not come to stop them by making such a big fuss?
Then the one who leaked the news must be the Fruit Company!
Once the news was out, the Fruit Company's share price started to rise. Many investors who were not optimistic about the Fruit Company also started to buy the Fruit Company's shares.
Both of them are interested in the Fruit Company, which means the Fruit Company must have something worth investing in. Also, both of them want to invest in the Fruit Company. Are they going to buy the Fruit Company's shares?
They hope that both of them will buy the Fruit Company's shares. Then they will be able to make a lot of money. No matter who wins, the Fruit Company's share price will not fall.
Damn it, this bunch of damned capitalists, they actually played such a trick.
Public acquisition will cause the share price to rise, and this is inevitable. But if they buy the shares secretly, the share price will not fluctuate too much.
Now, Feng Yu is not sure if these people want to raise the share price to sell for more money, or if they do not want to sell the shares at all. They are just using them to increase the Fruit Company's value.
Bill Gates is sitting in his office with a black face. How did this news get out?
Is it Jobs who said it, or is it the other shareholders?
But these are not the most important. The most important thing is Feng Yu also wants to buy the Fruit Company's shares. It seems like Feng Yu knows about his motive.
It was certain that Feng Yu did not want him to invest in or even control the Fruit Company. But Bill Gates must not let Feng Yu succeed. If Feng Yu succeeds, Feng Yu will have more say in the US market, and it will affect Microsoft.
Although the Fruit Company's market share was not high, it had many loyal fans because of its good management.
If this brand falls into Feng Yu's hands, he can use Feng Yu's influence to expand, and it will be harder for Microsoft to enter the electronics industry.
The Fruit Company must have thought of this as well. That was why they didn't hesitate to publicize the news and put on an attitude of waiting for an offer.
If he were to compete with Feng Yu, the shareholders of the Fruit Company would benefit.
Ballmer knocked on the door and entered. "Bill, the whole world knows that you and Feng are going to acquire Fruit Company's shares. Should we adjust our plans?"
Originally, Ballmer and the others had discussed that Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Ballmer would each contact one or two shareholders with a large number of voting rights in the Fruit Company and buy their shares.
Bill Gates had persuaded Jobs to support them. This way, they will only need 10% of the company's shares to control the company. This 10% of the company's shares will have more than 40% of the voting rights.
With Bill Gates's influence, it should not be difficult for them to control the Fruit Company.
But all these are under the condition that there are no other competitors. Now, they have a competitor, and it's the World's Richest Man, Feng Yu. This is too difficult for them.
Ballmer was hinting that there is no need to go head-on with Feng Yu. Although the three of them combined their assets, they are not afraid of Feng Yu. After all, Feng Yu had just spent a large sum of money to buy Rio Tinto Group, and he does not have much cash left.
But if they can avoid a head-on confrontation, they will try their best to avoid it. If not, if Feng Yu enters the fray and wants to acquire the Fruit Company's shares, the price might be 50% higher than what they want!
Paul Allen entered the room. "Steve, what are you talking about? Why should we change our plans? Do you think we will lose? "
One of them cannot go up against Feng Yu. But if the top three shareholders of Microsoft work together, they will still be afraid of Feng Yu.
Ballmer explained patiently. "I am not saying we are afraid of him. It's just that we don't need to. We have a lot of funds together. But who knows how much money Feng Yu has? Don't you remember what Warren Buffett said? He said Feng Yu is like Soros, and his profits will make many consortiums jealous. "
"Also, don't forget that Feng Yu and Kirilenko are in cahoots. If Kirilenko enters the fray, what do you think our chances of winning are? "
Paul Allen replied angrily. "You are the one who insisted on having your own electronics brand and had agreed to acquire Fruit Company's shares. Now, we have not even started, and you want to back out? How can you be the CEO of Microsoft if you are so timid? "
Bill Gates kept quiet for a while and said. "If we give up on acquiring Fruit Company, what other brands do you think we can choose from? Dell or Hui Pu? "
Of course, they want to acquire influential electronics brands in Europe and the US. They must also have a good R&D team. This way, they can achieve their goal of controlling both software and hardware.
Fruit Company is the best among them and has a wide range of products. They can also look for another similar brand, like Sony, Samsung, etc., but the other party will not sell them.
In other words, they must not give up on acquiring Fruit Company.
Ballmer thought for a while. "Actually, we have other options. We can talk to Sony about buying back IBM's PC business. For the mobile phone business, we can cooperate with Motorola or Lancia. We can even invest in Sony Ericsson. This way, the effect will be the same. "
"IBM had sold their PC business because it was not profitable. They had switched from hardware to software and copied us. Now, you want us to follow IBM's footsteps? Is this your idea? How much do you think we need to invest in Motorola or Lancia? "Paul Allen asked sarcastically.
Ballmer looked at Bill Gates and knew what he was trying to say. But he still wants to say what he thinks.
"Since all of you have decided to go against Feng Yu, have you ever thought about who the other shareholders will support if our voting rights are about the same? Will it be you, Paul? Or are you confident that you can defeat Feng Yu and get control of Fruit Company? "
