Steve is a common name in the US, similar to Hong Kong's Xiao Qiang, Hua Xia's China's Xiao Ming, or English textbook's Tom. But if this Steve's surname is Forbes, then he is not a common person.
Steve Forbes is the President and CEO of Forbes Group. The Chairman of Forbes Group is an old man who acts as a mascot. The real decision-maker of Forbes Group is Steve.
Today, Steve wants to visit a person from Hua Xia. A person from Hua Xia. A person that he had wanted to interview but could not.
Feng Yu did not expect to meet another person called Steve so soon. Although this person is famous in the world's business circles, Feng Yu does not want to meet him.
This is because Steve is not only a businessman, but he is also a journalist. People like Steve are the sharpest. Many aspects of Feng Yu's history are hard to explain, and this is what Steve wants to ask.
But this time, Steve had asked Bill Gates to visit Feng Yu, and Feng Yu cannot reject him. Feng Yu is also curious about this' most accurate financial journalist '. He also wants to know why Forbes magazine is so attractive and has more than 5 million readers around the world. It is considered one of the most authoritative business magazines.
Bill Gates led Steve Forbes into Feng Yu's office.
"I think you all don't need me to introduce you all."
Feng Yu turns to Bill Gates. "Have you told Steve about my request?"
Steve nodded. "Of course. This is not an interview, and I don't have any recording or video equipment. Without Bill's permission, I can't enter Microsoft's turf. Even if I want to, I can't bring my equipment in."
Feng Yu is satisfied. Now is not the time for him to be high profile. He does not mind appearing in front of the cameras in a few years. But now is not the time, especially in the US, where guns are not banned.
The President of the United States was known to have the best security in the world, and he had even been assassinated. Feng Yu did not want him to suddenly die a wrongful death before he could fully enjoy his life!
Especially since he was not an American!
"Feng, can we have a chat?" Steve habitually took out a pen and notebook from his bag and was about to take notes.
Feng Yu frowned. "Steve, I think I've made myself very clear. I don't want my affairs to be exposed, so please don't take notes."
Feng Yu was a little speechless. I already said that this is not an interview. Why the f * ck are you taking notes?
Steve awkwardly put the pen away. "I'm used to it. Sorry. I have some questions I want to ask here. Can you take a look at it? "
Damn, why does it feel like an interview? Didn't Bill Gates say it was just a conversation between friends? Also, why is Bill Gates sitting down? Don't you have a lot of things to do?
Bill Gates saw Feng Yu looking at him and shrugged. "I don't have anything on. Let's have a chat."
Actually, Bill Gates was also very curious about Feng Yu. But Feng Yu was not an American, and Bill Gates does not know about Feng Yu's past. Bill Gates had asked Hua Xia's people to find out more about Feng Yu, and he got a shocking conclusion. If there was a person in Hua Xia named Feng Yu who could be as wealthy as Bill Gates, then there was only one person. His age matched Feng Yu's description.
This person was a machinery manufacturing tycoon, retail tycoon, electronics tycoon in Hua Xia. There were even rumors that he was a telecommunications tycoon, food tycoon, etc. There were also rumors that he could sit down and chat with Hua Xia.
Of course, these were all rumors, and there was no evidence from the media. But since there were so many rumors, it means there was a high possibility that these rumors were true. Even if there were only a few of these identities, or even if only one of them was real, Feng Yu's strength would be terrifying.
Look at those conglomerates in the world. All of them controlled industries, retail, electronics, telecommunications, etc. No matter which aspect of Hua Xia Feng Yu controlled, it was enough to prove his potential.
Based on Hua Xia's financial potential, this Feng Yu's net worth will reach more than 10 billion USD in the future. That's why Bill Gates wanted to hear from Feng Yu which aspects of Hua Xia he controlled.
In the future, Bill Gates will continue to sell his Microsoft shares and invest in other industries. This was enough to prove that Bill Gates was not only interested in one industry.
After Ralph served the coffee, he went out and closed the door behind him. Feng Yu was satisfied with Ralph. Feng Yu does not need to say much, and Ralph knew what to do.
Steve looked at Feng Yu. "Feng, I want to know if you really own 15% of Microsoft's shares?"
"Actually, it's not that much. It's only about 14.9%."
Steve used his fingernail to scratch the bottom of the first question, and the answer was yes.
"I am curious. All your shares are tradable shares. That means you bought them from other investors in the market. Is it because you think Microsoft's profits are high?"
"Of course. More accurately, I think the entire industry is high. Microsoft is one of the top companies in the industry, and in Hua Xia, we call it the leader of the sheep. Investments are all for profits, and Microsoft can help me make lots of money. "
There was nothing to hide. Is Feng Yu going to tell them that he is not doing this for money. He is also doing this to enter Microsoft's board of directors and step on Microsoft in the future?
"I know Microsoft's market value is still increasing, and all your shares are bought these few years. Can we talk about where did you get so much money to buy Microsoft shares? Even if it is based on the share prices two years ago, you had invested a large sum of money. "
"I earned it. Every sum of money I earned was earned legally. At my level, do I need to be involved in illegal businesses? "Feng Yu did not answer Steve's question. Why should I tell you how I make money? Do you want me to tell you all my business secrets?
Steve was not satisfied with Feng Yu's answer. He had interviewed other tycoons, and he knew where their main source of income came from. But he knew nothing about Feng Yu. Or rather, Forbes does not have any influence in Hua Xia.
If it was in the US, it would be easy for Forbes to investigate. At least he can find out the information on the surface, and that's enough. Forbes will not dig into other people's dark history. That's other media's business.
"Feng, you know this is not what I want to ask you. Other than Microsoft shares, what other businesses did you invest in? Hmmm … some profitable businesses. "
