Paul Allen has agreed to join second world.
"This news, I think, will shock the whole world when it is announced tomorrow!" Lin Feng smiles.
Paul Allen laughed. Thinking of Bill Gates' surprised eyes, he was full of expectation. Although the two had started a business together, their relationship had already broken down. He would be happy to let Bill Gates eat it.
"By the way, tomorrow is the last day for you to gamble with Microsoft. At present, the stock price of Microsoft is close to $29. If the stock price doesn't fall sharply before the end of tomorrow, you will lose $1 billion, although this money is nothing to you. But you lost the game Paul Allen said.
Lin Feng smiles.
"Don't worry, tomorrow one day, we can solve the battle! In particular, with your joining in, Mr. Allen, I believe you will be the most lethal weapon to directly defeat Microsoft's share price. It's just a blow to the 5% Microsoft stock you hold. " Lin Feng has a headache.
At present, Microsoft's stock price is at $28.8, with a total market value of about $239.9 billion. Paul Allen holds 5% of Microsoft's shares, with a market value of about $11.905 billion. If it falls below $18, Paul Allen's loss will be as high as $4.4 billion. The loss is a little big.
"Ha ha, the rise and fall of stock price is normal. What's more, I still own 5% of Microsoft stock, so I never intend to sell it. Even if the share price is not worth a dime, I will not sell it. " But Paul Allen laughed and shook his head.
Lin Feng sighed. Since Paul Allen doesn't care, that's good.
"Well, Mr. Allen, take a rest first. Please come to the press conference tomorrow. " Lin Feng got up and said goodbye.
"Mr. Lin, I'll see you tomorrow. I believe that tomorrow will be a wonderful day Paul Allen is looking forward to seeing Lin Feng off.
the second day.
March 5, an ordinary day, became an extraordinary day because of the gambling between Lin Feng and Microsoft. In the past few days, Lin Feng has not taken any measures to deal with the overall behavior of Microsoft. It can even be said that Lin Feng hardly resisted. No one knows what Lin Feng is thinking and whether he wants to win. If Lin Feng wants to win, then he must fight today.
Therefore, all reporters have been waiting for Lin Feng in the hall of Hilton Hotel since early in the morning.
"Is there any movement in Lin Feng?" Ballmer hands clasped, staring at the home pages of major portals, searching for the trace of Lin Feng.
"President, at present, Lin Feng has nothing to say. He stayed at the Hilton all the time The Secretary replied.
Ballmer frowned. What does Lin Feng want? What does he want?
He will take action, he will!
"Keep an eye on him and let me know if you have any news!" Ballmer ordered.
By this time, it was already 9 a.m. Lin Feng has finished wearing. After eating breakfast and waiting for NASDAQ to open, Lin Feng comes to the hall of Hilton Hotel.
See Lin Feng appear, many reporters immediately surrounded up.
"Dear journalists, please don't worry. I will hold a press conference, so please don't worry. Today, you write, I promise! " Lin Feng smile, stop many reporters around.
Many reporters burst into laughter. With Lin Feng's guarantee, they don't have to squeeze like small cages, so they can go to the news release hall and wait. On the first floor of the Hilton Hotel, there is a special press conference. Although it is not big, hundreds of people can sit down. There is no problem for all the reporters here to sit down.
Of course, compared with today's importance and the eye attraction of Lin Feng, this news release hall is not enough. There has long been a statistical law in the industry, that is, if Lin Feng convenes a press conference normally, there must be at least a press conference hall that can accommodate 500 people. If Lin Feng holds a press conference in an abnormal period, he should have at least a press conference hall with 2000 people. In case of a particularly important event, Lin Feng held a press conference and had better go to the square. Otherwise, no matter how big the press conference hall is, it will not be enough.
Today, the press conference hall, which can hold about 300 people, is already crowded. And reporters are still pouring in. Crazy reporters, who have obtained Lin Feng's news conference through various channels, are rushing over by all means.
To be honest, they are cursing as they rush. When people hold press conferences, they will be informed in advance. Kelin wind, but temporary notice. This is not a tosser. If I had known that, I would not have wanted to interview Microsoft today. Instead, I would have stayed here and waited for Lin Feng's Jedi to fight back.
When most of the reporters arrived, the press conference hall was already blocked. There were a lot of people on the inner and outer floors. Many late reporters have no choice. But fortunately, for this news conference, there is a live monitor in the lobby outside the release hall. Therefore, many reporters can still know what Lin Feng is talking about. The only inconvenience is the inability to ask questions.
At 9:30 a.m. on March 5, Lin Feng arrived at the press conference hall on time. Don't look at the news release hall. When Lin Feng comes, all the reporters instinctively make way for Lin Feng.
"Thank you very much for the support of many journalists and friends and the temporary notice. There are still so many people here. Thank you!" Lin Feng holds his fist.
Many reporters are ready to hold cameras, paper and pens, ready to start recording every word Lin Feng is about to say.
"Today is a good day. As we all know, it's the option trading day when I short 100 million shares of Microsoft. At present, Microsoft's stock price, hehe, has just opened at more than $29. It seems that some people want me to pay more. But whether I will lose money or not will be known only in the end. " Lin Feng said with a smile, "first of all, I'm here to expose a lie!"
Everyone was stunned. Lies, what lies?
"Mr. Ballmer said that 'Vista' is the most popular operating system in history. I don't agree with that. This argument is a big lie." In the first sentence, Lin Feng pointed the spear at Ballmer, and his words were so sharp that many reporters who worked hard were very satisfied. Even if they don't agree with Lin Feng, the reason why they like Lin Feng so much is that Lin Feng dares to shoot! That's what other super rich people don't have. Generally speaking, most of the rich are cautious and speak like a press release issued by the Ministry of foreign affairs. However, Lin Feng is very exciting.
"Gentlemen, why should I say that Ballmer is lying? Because the sales volume of "Vista" is really the first in history, but that is only the sales volume. Of course, I have to put aside my "Pangu system". No matter the sales volume of "Vista" is the first in the charging list, it is by no means the most successful operating system in history. Why do you say that? " Lin Feng shrugged, "when we count the sales volume and write the title, we all ignore one point, that is, the data of global computer sales in one year when XP and Vista were on sale." Lin Feng smiles.
"When XP went on sale, on October 25, 2001, five years ago, there were 47 million computers sold in one year. Now, the global computer sales are 120 million a year. This number has nearly doubled, but the sales volume of Vista is less than double that of XP. Can you tell me that vista is the most successful operating system in history? I think that should be far fetched. This can only be the gold on their own face Lin Feng said.
Who couldn't reach the grapes and complained that they were sour. Hearing this, Ballmer hammered down the table.
Many pro Microsoft reporters at the scene thought the same way. But they want to refute Lin Feng, but they can't. Because what Lin Feng said is true. In terms of market share, vista system is not as good as XP system.
At this time, Lin Feng took out a remote control and pressed the remote control button.
"Ha ha, I almost forgot to open this." Lin Feng smiles a little. On the big screen next to him, the fluctuation of Nasdaq stock index appears. On the display of individual stocks, Microsoft's stock price stands out.
"Today, please accompany me and wait for the moment of witnessing the miracle." Lin Feng laughs.
Many reporters look at me, I look at you, look at each other, the heart is appalled. Lin Feng is too confident to be sure that the share price of Microsoft will fall today. This is too confident. If he had gathered so many reporters to witness the miracle with him, he would have been disgraced if the share price of Microsoft had not fallen.
Is he absolutely sure? Where does his assurance come from? Many reporters have speculated, but there is no result.
"Too arrogant!" Ballmer hammered his fist in the office.
Lin Feng, I'd like to see how our share price fell today! Ballmer roared.
At this time, Microsoft's stock price, which has been rising slowly, suddenly jumped from the original $29.3 to $29.1, and then hovered between $29.05 and $29.1 for a few minutes. Obviously, this is because Lin Feng's previous "Vista" is not the most successful operating system in Microsoft's history, which interferes with Microsoft's share price. Otherwise, Microsoft's share price would not fluctuate like this.
But if Lin Feng wants to kill Microsoft, it's a big mistake. I see what else you can do! Ballmer stares at the live news conference screen.
At this time, Lin Feng smiles again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to announce the second thing here." Lin Feng looks at many reporters.
Many reporters are looking forward to seeing Lin Feng and the stock price. They want to see what Lin Feng can do to bring down Microsoft's share price.
"The second point is that Jinshan software company from China will launch WPS office software based on Pangu version, which will be completely free of charge and freely downloaded by all users. Although its functions are not as comprehensive as Microsoft's office series, most office applications are more than enough. Of course, the most important thing is that it's absolutely free, and it doesn't cost you a cent. And it's available in 43 languages. I believe most countries on earth can use it freely. " Lin Feng said with a smile, "so from today on, Pangu system is no longer a software that can't work and can only play games. Another point, WPS software will be able to freely convert a variety of office software format files, the perfect conversion to WPS format. So, after you install it, never worry that the previous office files can't be used. "
Gee! Many reporters were surprised. In this case, the launch of WPS office software will indeed attract many users to use Pangu system. After all, most users, for their own computer needs, are just games and entertainment, occasionally doing word processing, that's all. In the past, there was no office software in Pangu system. Now that there is one, users will naturally give it a try. If it is easy to use, I believe many users will no longer suffer from constantly changing the system.
Many reporters rushed to look at the Nasdaq stock price. Of course, it will take a little time for Lin Feng's announcement to reach NASDAQ. As a result, after a few minutes of waiting, the Nasdaq stock price began to fluctuate.
Microsoft's share price fell directly from $29.08 to $27, and it is still falling all the way. At this time, Lin Feng still lost $900 million.
Fuck, you can't let him play like this! Said Ballmer chagrined. He has a headache. He plays the cards all at once. He has no way to deal with Lin Feng's moves. However, as the president of Microsoft, he still has some ability.
Ballmer immediately issued a declaration, claiming that WPS software will be audited to determine whether it is suspected of infringing office software. Once WPS software infringes office, "Microsoft" will impolitely Sue it.
Microsoft's share price has been stabilized by Ballmer's announcement. Many American journalists, let out a long breath. They are really afraid that Microsoft's share price will slide all the way down. In that case, it will make Lin Feng laugh. Anyway, they are all Americans and naturally support Microsoft.
Lin Feng looks at the stable share price of Microsoft and smiles. From Lin Feng's heart, he didn't expect Microsoft's share price to be so strong. Obviously, Vista has given many investors confidence. Unfortunately, today's Microsoft share price is doomed to plummet! When Paul Allen agreed to join the second world, it was doomed to the fate of Microsoft's share price!
But now, don't worry, take your time! Lin Feng wants Ballmer to watch Microsoft's share price slide into the abyss( It's not finished yet. If you like this work, you are welcome to start (Qidian. Com) to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
