Harry Potter was determined, but he soon realized he could not stop half of the Wall Street managers from forcing him to step down. Unless Harry Potter does not want to stay on Wall Street anymore.
So, when Harry Potter was surrounded by the crowd, he had no choice but to admit defeat. He said helplessly, "It's not impossible for me to buy your Microsoft shares. But 80 billion is impossible. Let's settle it at 30 billion!"
"That's also impossible!" The managers did not agree. But Harry Potter will not offer such a high price. More importantly, if he is willing to offer such a high price, it means he has broken through the managers' psychological barrier.
As a result, the two sides started a war of bargaining. They were like old ladies in the market, frantically haggling. In the end, Harry Potter said with a frosty face that he would buy the shares in their hands at a market value of 50 billion USD. Otherwise, they would all go their separate ways and see who would be able to torment the other in the end!
Thinking of the 50 billion US dollars price, Harry Potter would lose at least 20 billion US dollars, these managers were naturally satisfied and didn't force the issue.
In the end, Harry Potter bought 43% of Microsoft shares from the various foundations. Together with his own 10% shares, America First Foundation became the controlling shareholder of Microsoft.
After that, Harry Potter negotiated with Daqian Group and bought back 20% of Daqian's shares. Instantly, Harry Potter owns 73% of Microsoft shares and has complete control of Microsoft.
The first thing America First Foundation did was to hire a veteran CEO for Microsoft. He asked the veteran CEO to manage Microsoft's employees and allow Microsoft to continue operating.
But because of the veteran CEO, Microsoft did not expand into new markets. They only tried to maintain their existing businesses.
This strategy helped Microsoft to stabilize, and their share prices rose back to 80 billion USD within a few years. This shows how smart America First Foundation is.
But some people sighed. After going through so many hardships, Microsoft had lost the will to innovate. They are only defending against Hong Meng and no longer take the initiative to attack. Microsoft had turned from a young man in his twenties to a dying old man.
Of course, no one cares about this. Microsoft is no longer the world's number one PC company. The world's number one is 51Search, Qualcomm, and other internet service providers.
With the development of the internet, every country's demand for internet is increasing. The internet service providers have become the top priority.
Among them, the most famous one was Japan's Xiamu Company. It monopolized the entire Japanese network communication market by itself. Its annual turnover had already exceeded 30 billion USD. The crazy speed at which it made money made all the companies drool with envy. They all lamented that Xiamu's huge investment of 80 billion USD was really worth it. It was too damn cost-effective.
As Japan became the first country in the world to achieve national broadband, Japan also gained a lot of face in the world. This greatly satisfied Japan's vanity. Therefore, Xiamu Network also became the company with the highest praise in Japan. Xiamu Haruko was also elected as Japan's most outstanding president for three consecutive years. She became the dream lover of countless Japanese men and was even more popular than top female celebrities.
The most exaggerated thing was that in 2001, in the selection of Japan's number one beauty, Natsume Haruko actually won first place, obtaining 43% of the votes. She was pushed to the throne of Japan's number one beauty by three million Japanese men, making people speechless.
But Xiamu Haruko has no intention of getting married, and there are no rumors about her being with any men. Although there are rumors that Xiamu Haruko is having an affair with the World's Second Richest Man, Jia Yapeng, and they are secretly married. They also have a daughter.
But no media dares to report this kind of news without any evidence. Xiamu Haruko is still the Fusang's Most Beautiful Woman.
There is also Hua Xia's Hua Xia Telecom. This company is also a new force to be reckoned with. In 2002, it announced that all cities in Hua Xia, including prefecture-level cities and counties, have been connected to broadband. It can provide high-quality broadband services to the 540 million people in Hua Xia. At the same time, its annual turnover reached an astonishing 20 billion USD.
Therefore, Hua Xia Telecom also entered the world's top 500 in one fell swoop, making the Daqian not so lonely.
Then there is Qualcomm. With the switch and communication baseband industry being squeezed by Huawei, Qualcomm began to work on the broadband communication network.
The US First Foundation had invested a total of 30 billion US dollars, allowing Qualcomm to enter the broadband network market and begin to build broadband networks throughout the US. It quickly surpassed other broadband service providers and became the number one broadband communication company in the US. With a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars, Qualcomm had become the target of countless capitals.
In various countries all over the world, there are also local network service providers rising one after another. A Super Internet is slowly forming around the whole world. But no one knows that behind these network companies, there is a hidden shadow lingering, silently plotting.
Just like that, several years have passed slowly …

August 5th, 2005.
A plane slowly landed at the Yaodu International Airport. A tall, blonde, and blue-eyed young man slowly walked out of the exit. Although he was wearing casual clothes, they couldn't hide the muscles under his clothes.
Behind him, a blonde girl was chasing after him, panting heavily.
"Donald, you're walking too fast. Wait for me!" The girl said helplessly in English.
"I'm sorry, Emma. But you know, I've always been very curious about this country. Today, I finally set foot on this country's soil, so I can't help but feel a little excited!" The young man said with a smile.
At that moment, a ray of sunlight shone from behind and shone through the young man's blonde hair. Coupled with his candid confidence, but there was also a faint trace of sadness. It made Emma feel as if her little heart was being grasped.
Damn it, I couldn't stand his smile, so I signed up for this damned communication research society with him … Donald's mother clearly sells luxury goods, so why is Donald interested in mobile communications? the girl muttered in her heart. Then she caught up with the young man's pace and walked out of Yao Du International Airport together.
At that moment, a large crowd of people poured into the airport from the entrance. It gave the usually carefree Emma a fright. Fortunately, the young man protected Emma in time and blocked her from the crowd.
This made Emma's little heart beat wildly again. She wanted to melt into the young man's embrace.
"Is there some important person coming?" Emma asked curiously.
"It's Big Sister Feng. Big Sister Feng is here!" At that moment, such exclamations could be heard throughout the entire airport. Emma couldn't understand at all, but the young man's face showed a surprised expression.
