Ellison gave up his cards and laughed.
"By the way, Lin, I remember that" second world "really became a multinational company in the world, and Mr. Lin's wealth soared overnight after the merger and acquisition of" amd "and" ATI ", right?" Allison asked.
Lin Feng nodded. This is a well-known thing. If it were not for the merger and acquisition of "amd" and "ATI", second world would not be listed so far. After all, if it's just to develop games, Lin Feng needs more than enough money. One of the advantages of online games relative to stand-alone games is that the return of funds is fast. As long as it is listed in the public beta, there will be cash income, and it is sustainable. Relying on such capital income, the "second world" will not worry about insufficient liquidity.
Of course, if "second world" is not listed, there will be no subsequent plans such as "legend theme park" and "Xianjian theme park", nor will there be Lin Feng's "infinite terror" plan in advance. At least "second world" does not have enough funds to develop two online games that surpass an era at the same time, and there will be no "virtual bar". It can be said that the scale of "second world" today is related to the merger and acquisition of "amd" and "ATI".
But what does Ellison mean by that?
Both Lin Feng and Murdoch are puzzled. Only Paul Allen seems to wake up to something. They are old rivals. They can almost guess each other's habits and psychological activities. When Ellison asked this, he must have a bad heart.
"Lin, I remember when your company acquired 'amd' and 'ATI', you seemed to have spent $2.3 billion alone, right! With this, you have become the largest shareholder of the second world Ellison continued.
Lin Feng nodded. It's not a secret. Most financial people who care about the "second world" know this. This has been reported to the US Securities Regulatory Commission. I just don't understand. Ellison has been asking about his intention.
Ellison flicked his cigar and looked at Paul Allen with a bad smile.
"As far as I know, the source of such a large amount of cash was the sale of the company" avenue-a "you once owned, right?" Ellison said grimly.
The atmosphere of the scene was suddenly strange. At the moment, if the three people still don't understand the meaning of Ellison's words, they don't deserve to sit here.
"Well, I heard that when you bought avenue-a company, you only spent 180 million US dollars, but when you sold it to a company with big fortune, you sold it for 3.7 billion US dollars. Tut, tut, tut, in one year, you made 20.5 times. What a good deal! It also directly contributed to the birth of a game Empire, even an it Empire, and planted a most powerful opponent for itself! " Said Ellison, clapping his hands.
When Lin Feng, Paul Allen and Murdoch heard the speech, their faces were wonderful.
Lin Feng is helpless. Now, Ellison's big invitation to Paul Allen is just to make a mockery of Paul Allen. This Ellison is a little childish, too much of a fight.
Murdoch has to laugh. As a media tycoon, he knows all about the dispute between Ellison and Paul Allen, and his paparazzi have already investigated everything. Just considering the identity and status of the two sides and some emotional disputes between them, Murdoch didn't make a lot of noise in public, which was regarded as selling the two a favor. This is also the reason why the two people ridicule each other so wantonly. With the blockade order of media tycoons, they don't have to worry about these things being known by the outside world.
Also because of this, every time Ellison and Paul Allen appear at the same time, you can almost see Murdoch's figure. Although many times it activities, Murdoch's status as a media tycoon is enough for him to be on any occasion. And Murdoch is always "watching" from a close distance, appreciating their bickering with a spectator mentality. Of course, Murdoch is like this. First, it's really interesting to watch the two fight. They are both so influential, influential and powerful, but they fight like children. It's really hilarious; On the other hand, because of commercial considerations, Murdoch recorded every time they quarreled with each other on a miniature tape recorder. When they are no longer worried about this matter, they will publish it.
The title of the book is "the war between two giants". Murdoch believes it will sell well.
And watch so many times, Murdoch is the first time to see Paul - Allen so speechless. You know, Paul Allen used to be a winning general. Although Ellison is famous for his sharp language, he has no advantage over the old Paul Allen. But this time, Ellison used Lin Feng to overpower him, which is really funny.
Paul Allen has a brown face at the moment. You know, the original high price acquisition of Lin Feng's "avenue-a" company was to fight against "Google". Results after the acquisition of 'avenue-a', although the Internet business of 'Microsoft' has been improved, it is not enough to fight against 'Google'. By selling "avenue-a" company's money, Lin Feng will not only build "second world" into a game Empire, but also become a force that can not be ignored in the IT industry. The supercomputer system that Lin Feng is studying will also be a potential enemy of Microsoft in the future.
Of course, this is not the most popular one. What annoys Microsoft most is that Lin Feng sold "avenue-a" company on one side, but acquired "Baidu" on the other side, transferring the business of "avenue-a" company to Baidu, which is just playing with Microsoft. This is one of Microsoft's biggest humiliations in the 21st century.
As a result, Ellison has been pulled out face-to-face, and Lin Feng, the client, has been brought in to bring up the matter again in front of Paul Allen. Although these are all decided by Microsoft's current management, Paul Allen is the founder of Microsoft after all. As long as he is alive, everything that happens to Microsoft will have something to do with him. Ellison's action is typical of scolding baldness in front of a monk, which is really hateful.
Ellison saw Paul Allen's face full of pride. He didn't get the upper hand for a long time, and finally let him win once. Of course, it's a bit unreasonable to make use of Lin Feng in this way, but Ellison has his own way to calm Lin Feng afterwards.
Lin Feng is helpless to smile. Wait, it's up to Ellison to make up for himself!
At this time, the card game on Lin Feng's side continued to be unpredictable, while there was another war on the other side.
Deng Wendi sits between Lin Zhiling and Jessica with a glass of red wine.
Lin Zhiling and Jessica frowned instinctively. The two of them are whispering here. As a result, Deng Wendi comes in. It's really a bit abrupt, and it's just not polite. However, she is the current wife of Murdoch, the media magnate. As Lin Feng's secretary, Lin Zhiling naturally understands that such a person is better not to offend easily, and it's hard to say anything. As for Jessica, as a Hollywood movie star, it's not to mention giving orders to Wendi Deng. It can be said that many times, she also relies on Murdoch's care.
"Hi, Miss Lin, right?" Deng Wendi speaks fluent Mandarin.
Lin Zhiling was a little stunned, but she was amused. This Deng Wendi is a Chinese, and his Mandarin is naturally fluent.
"Hello, Mrs. Murdoch!" Lin Zhiling called Deng Wendi Mrs. Murdoch very cleverly.
As for Lin Zhiling, Deng Wendi is very helpful. Since she became Murdoch's wife, many people have been calling her Mrs. Deng, which makes her extremely dissatisfied. It's not that people call her Mrs. Deng when she tries so hard to become Murdoch's wife. Murdoch is what she pursues. Now that Lin Zhiling is so charming, she is naturally elated.
"Oh, Miss Lin is not only beautiful, but also beautiful and adorable." Deng Wendi's voice is so charming, but Lin Zhiling and Jessica are frowning. For this woman, they instinctively don't like it. After all, we are all women. It's too despicable for you to break up a couple who have been in love for 25 years. For this kind of woman, not only men don't like it, but also women don't like it.
Of course, this disdain, Lin Zhiling and Jessica naturally will not show in the face.
"By the way, Miss Lin, I heard that you used to be the first model in Taiwan, right? As far as I know, Taiwan's top models are worth about NT $10 million every year, but Miss Lin has given up such a good salary to become Lin Feng's secretary. With a monthly salary of NT $10000, I'm really not worth it for Miss Lin! " Deng Wendi's face was a pity for Lin Zhiling.
"Thank you, Mrs. Murdoch. I'm not very interested in becoming the number one model. I hope I can make money with my wisdom instead of my appearance." Lin Zhiling said freely.
Deng Wendi called out, "yes, she's waiting for Lin Zhiling's words.".
"Miss Lin, you have ambition. You are a heroine and heroine of our class. I am admired by women like me." Deng Wendi looked surprised.
Lin Zhiling smiles and says nothing. This Wendi Deng is so powerful. As a woman, she has paid attention to the world's female heroes. Although Wendi Deng does not own any company or position, she can go from a student to Mrs. Murdoch. This woman's means are not simple. At the beginning, in order to get the U.S. green card, Deng Wendi married 53 year old Mr. Jake cherry at the age of 22 and became Mrs. cherry (in the same year, Mr. and Mrs. Jake cherry divorced and married Deng Wendi a month later). After getting the U.S. green card, Deng Wendi divorced Jake cherry first.
After receiving an MBA degree from Yale business school, he ran into Murdoch on his way back to China. Before the plane landed, he became an intern at the headquarters of satellite TV company. Three years later, Murdoch divorced his wife of 31 years and married Wendi Deng 17 days later.
It can be said that this woman's scheming is quite heavy. In terms of scheming and machinations, she is among the most powerful women in the world. This is the reason why Deng Wendi is still regarded as one of the top women of this century without any company and position.
For this woman, Lin Zhiling has always been afraid.
"Miss Lin, I really admire your ambition. However, as a past person, I advise Miss Lin that no matter how capable a woman is, she will eventually get married. It is a woman's bounden duty to teach her husband and children. For example, look at me. I worked so hard at that time, from a medical student to get an MBA degree from Yale business school, to become an intern in the headquarters of satellite TV company, to become Mr. Murdoch, who is now my husband's accompanying translator, and then to a secretary. I have worked so far, but I have achieved nothing. In the end, my real happiness is after becoming Mrs. Murdoch. " Deng Wendi said with a nostalgic look on his face.
Lin Zhiling frowned.
"Miss Lin, I don't know what you think, but I must advise you that women's youth is limited, and we must use the limited youth to exchange for the future as happy as possible. With all due respect, when are you going to be a secretary? Can I be a secretary all my life? What can you get in the end? No fame, no status, is it worth it? You are so young and have a double master's degree. You are no worse than anyone. Why are you willing to be behind others? " Deng Wendi said.
Lin Zhiling frowned. Deng Wendi's words are a little provocative to the relationship between Lin Zhiling and Lin Feng. However, Lin Zhiling must admit that Deng Wendi's words are really tempting. Although Lin Zhiling constantly tells herself that these words are magic spells, and she can't listen to them or think about them. But I can't help thinking and thinking in my mind. Because people are selfish, especially women. As Lin Feng's secretary, he works hard for Lin Feng, but he has no name. If Lin Feng abandons himself in the end, he has nothing.
Now that he is in his prime and Lin Feng is his right hand, why don't you fight for it? Fight for your future happiness—— There is a devil struggling in Lin Zhiling's heart.
As soon as Deng Wendi saw Lin Zhiling's look, he knew that she had been talked about by herself. Even if not really moved, ready to put into the heart, but certainly in the heart to do a fierce struggle. No matter how Lin Zhiling decides in the end, this is equal to Deng Wendi planting a devil's seed in Lin Zhiling's heart. And this seed may blossom and bear fruit at any time. This is a time bomb that Deng Wendi buried beside Lin Feng!
At the beginning, Lin Feng openly accused herself of destroying other people's families at the press conference. She was a villain. Deng Wendi couldn't find a chance to get revenge. Now that she has a chance, Deng Wendi will never let it go. She must have a good look at Lin Feng to vent her hatred!
