Chapter 301

Santa Clara, California, USA.

McAfee (antivirus) company.

"Hi, Dr. hinkles. I didn't expect to meet you here."

As soon as Zhu Ke entered the conference room of McAfee, he met an old acquaintance in a group of shareholders' representatives.

——Hinkles Mendes!

Male, 42 years old, graduated from Stanford University with a doctorate in theoretical computer science and a master's degree in financial market management. He has worked in apple, IBM and Citibank successively. He joined Microsoft since 1996. He is currently the head of MSN project team of Microsoft and one of the senior vice presidents of Microsoft headquarters.

The right senior manager of Microsoft!

"Hi, chuck."

When hinkles saw Zucker, he was stunned at first. He immediately shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Wald, we haven't seen each other for nearly a year since ICQ's farewell. I didn't expect that you would come in person for this round of McPhee B financing voting meeting. "

"Why can't I come in person?" Zhuke smiles.

"I don't think you'll pay attention to the McFee's share expansion meeting for you who have 10 billion dollars," hinkles said with a laugh

Zucker shook his head and said, "at least I put in the money."

"It's just one McPhee. Why bother you to come here?" Again, hinkles said.

Zhuke waved: "you don't give me a hat, my wealth is only one tenth of your boss Bill Gates, I'm not rich."

Two people cordial chat?

In fact... It's all bullshit!

Hinkles is now testing Zhuke. After all, Microsoft wants to take control of McAfee.

"Damn, how can this guy come here himself? Maybe it's going to be something else, "hinkles squinted.

At this moment, Zhuke was also quite upset.

"Damn, why is there Microsoft everywhere?" Zhu Ke cursed secretly.

Microsoft~

In the United States of America at the end of the 1990s, Microsoft could be called a giant!

In addition to its dominant position in computer system software, its tentacles also extend crazily to all walks of life in the United States. Especially in the field of Internet, Microsoft is spreading the net widely. With its huge cash flow, it can seize all the resources that can be seized. It has a huge appetite to become the overlord of the whole Internet field!

With the passage of time, the representatives of the shareholders came one after another

There is no doubt that Zucker is the one with the highest wealth among the people present;

However, other people are not ordinary people. Apart from the billionaires, many of them are in Higher Vocational Education in large enterprises.

"Is he chuck Wald?"

"Yes, that's him!"

"God, he's too young. Although I know from the media that he is the youngest 10 billion rich man in the United States, I still feel a trance when I see him with my own eyes. "

"Oh, Matt. Not to mention you, but I feel like I've lived to be a dog for decades. "

"I have to say that his vision is good enough."

"Yes, he took a stake in McAfee as early as the end of August 1997. At that time, McAfee could only be regarded as a brother in the anti-virus industry. Who knew that he was so strong now? "

"Damn it, why didn't I follow McPhee so early?"

A group of shareholders and representatives of shareholders present, looking at the young and somewhat excessive Zhuke, could not help but have a low voice discussion.

Envy, envy, anger, pride

All kinds of emotions are constantly reflected in everyone.

Of course, there are also people who want to make friends with Jack.

One more friend and one more road are not just proverbs owned by the East.

Not long ago, George sammenuk, chairman and CEO of McAfee, appeared on the scene.

The third voting meeting of round B share expansion officially began.

"So far, in the past two months, as many as 17 enterprises, individuals, investment banks and funds have expressed their urgent idea of taking a stake in our company."

"For this reason, we have also held two rounds of voting meetings in half a month, and this is the third and last voting. I hope you will be cautious."

"For or against?"

"The decision is in everyone's hands!"

As George sammenuk's voice fell, many shareholders now immediately began to talk again.

In favor of share expansion, it is obvious that it can win a considerable cash flow for McAfee and further develop the company;

It is the idea of most shareholders to oppose the expansion of shares!

They firmly believe that McAfee should now plan new anti-virus software and systems, rather than blindly expand the market;

George sammenuk said: "let me make a statement first. I don't agree with the idea of equity expansion and financing now!"

All of a sudden, a number of shareholders and shareholder representatives nodded in agreement.

"I object!"

At this time, a 5.1% shareholder, Sphinx, came forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Internet market is so good, and the stock price of McAfee is also rising. How can we miss this opportunity when we officially expand the scale?" Sphinkrone said.

"Fart ~"

A grumpy shareholder immediately roared: "Sphinx, don't think I don't know your abacus. What do you want to do? You are Microsoft's dog, treat us all as idiots

Another shareholder echoed: "Microsoft wants a controlling stake in McAfee. Why do you pull so much?"

"Rude!" Sphinx has an ugly face.

If Microsoft wants to occupy the nest of the magpie, the people of McAfee know it.

Many people scold Sphinx, of course, the representative of Microsoft, hinkles, also joined the battlefield.

The whole conference room was very noisy.

At the moment, Zhuke was stunned.

It's the first time that Zhuke attended the general meeting of shareholders of McAfee. I never thought that the internal contradictions of the board of directors were so intensified. Well, they were all put on the surface, and they didn't hide at all.

Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart!

"Keke ~"

George sammenuk, the chairman of the board of directors, looked ugly and yelled, "everyone, please be quiet for half an hour. We'll discuss it again."

"Tut Tut, it's really wonderful." Zucker was full of banter.

It's all about profit!

In 1997, when Zhu Kegang first took a stake in McPhee, the overall market price of McPhee was less than $50 million.

But now?

——300 million dollars!

In just two years, McAfee stands out from a number of anti-virus software companies, with an estimated value of US $300 million.

What's more, many people are optimistic about the future of McAfee, which is recognized by the market.

A valuation of $1 billion is definitely not the limit of McAfee!

In fact, Zucker wanted to say, "I'm kidding. As the second largest anti-virus software supplier in the world in the future, the value of McAfee can be measured with more than $1 billion?"

Microsoft is an industry that wants to play a part in. Naturally, they will not let McAfee go.

The rest of the shareholders, including Chairman George sammenuk, naturally do not want to sit by and watch Microsoft control McAfee.

Therefore, the current 15% stake held by Zhuke is somewhat intriguing.

.......

During the break.

George sammenuk, chairman of the board, personally wooed Zhuk.

"Mr. ward, you don't want Microsoft to dilute your shares. Therefore, we are on the same front. We must not expand shares at this stage and let Microsoft's plot come to an end. " George sammenuk sank.

"You have a point." Juke nodded heavily.

Not long.

Microsoft's representative, hinkles, also came to woo Zhuke.

"Juke, we're old friends. You give me a definite word, what do you think of the expansion of shares? " Asked hinkles, smiling.

"I don't have any opinion," he said blankly

Hinkles: "the

Nima, are you acting stupid?

"Juk, don't make fun of me," sankers said in a deep voice

Zhuke said with a smile, "didn't you joke with me first?"

In a word, if there are not enough advantages, why should I be attracted?

Empty mouth white tooth, empty hand set white wolf!

Good idea!

Don't forget, Zhuke is a master who can't get up early without profit!

long time.

"You wait for me for a few minutes and I'll call Mr. Gates," hinkles pondered

In an instant, Zhuke became more and more agreeable. "You've already done this right. It's not good these days. Why let others fight for you?"

Why didn't Zhuke attend the previous two meetings? I'm just pointing out that this time he's taking advantage of it.

"The first watch" is presented. It's three o'clock today.
