Chapter 6136

Of course, Paul Allen is also a famous investor with many investment companies.

For example, the famous "DreamWorks" is one of the top ten film development, production and distribution companies in the United States. At the same time, it is also a TV game and TV program production company. In terms of box office in North America, there are two films that have exceeded 400 million and five films that have exceeded 300 million. In 20 years, more than 30 films have exceeded 100 million. The classic movies produced by DreamWorks include "get away with it", "the American version of midnight bell", "tuxedo", "vanilla sky", "Gladiator", "ghost invasion", "shocking the galaxy", "Kung Fu Panda" and so on.

Lin Feng himself owns MGM, now Fengshen pictures, which is even worse for major film companies in the United States.

Of course, whether there is a "DreamWorks" is not that bad for these film companies. Anyway, most film companies and TV crew have to rent a place in Fengcheng to make films. You have to apply to the Fengcheng management office.

In short, you just have to look at Lin Feng's face. In addition, half of the movie screens in the United States are under Ellison's control. In other words, from movie shooting to movie release, you basically have to watch Lin Feng's face.

You say, these film companies have nothing to be angry about. Although we are all competitors, Lin Feng didn't suppress them maliciously. We can only say that we feel that the future is a little more bleak. Fortunately, habit is good.

Yes, all habits are good.

This includes Charter Communications of the United States, whose Chinese name is chartered communications, whose main business is to provide network services for the American people.

Of course, Paul Allen is only one of the major shareholders, but he is also the chairman of the board. When it comes to this company, we have to mention one of the stupidest super decisions of the 20th century.

Paul Allen used to be a major shareholder of AOL, but when he wanted to become the largest shareholder of AOL, he was boycotted by AOL's board of directors' poison pill plan. In a huff, Paul Allen sold all his AOL shares in 1994.

As a result, we can imagine. Then, in the last Internet wave of the 20th century, AOL's stock market value reached as high as $164 billion at its peak, which was almost the same as that of Bill Gates in terms of the stocks Paul Allen sold at that time.

Unfortunately, Paul Allen sold it in a rage, making the most stupid decision of the 20th century. After that, there was the Chartered communications company.

Paul Allen is not a man willing to fail. He invested in the Chartered communication company and grew from a low-end Internet service provider to one of the three largest Internet service providers in the United States.

As for AOL, it's no longer popular. However, when Paul Allen gave all his shares to Lin Feng, he also gave several entrustments.

The first is the annexation of AOL to repay the hatred of that year. You know, at the beginning, Paul Allen was very optimistic about intent and thought that the future of the world was in intent, so he wanted to increase the shares of AOL so that it could operate according to his will.

Unfortunately, I was rejected. However, the management of AOL doesn't know what is intent and how to make money in the Internet age!

As a result, it has degenerated from the biggest network provider to the point of selling itself several times. What a fool! But these stupid guys, at the peak of the stock price, especially when they merged with Time Warner, ridiculed Paul Allen and his shortsightedness.

Paul Allen was very angry at that time. That's why he has invested heavily in franchised communications and vowed to surpass AOL. However, now that he has gone to the universe and explored the solar system, the task in it will naturally be left to Lin Feng to help him fulfill his wish.

Apart from this, Lin Feng will not visit other small companies. Anyway, Paul Allen is an investor. He just takes dividends and doesn't interfere with the operation of the company, which is equivalent to a venture capital.

However, Paul Allen also has a company's stock, which is all left to Lin Feng.

This family, needless to say, everyone knows Paul Allen's origin as one of the two giants of Microsoft.

Although Bill Gates's success in the software industry made him too free to listen to others, and did not believe Paul Allen's judgment of the Internet, they finally parted ways. But Paul Allen never sold his Microsoft stake.

320 million shares! This is the greatest wealth that Paul Allen left to Lin Feng.

Of course, the total share capital of Microsoft is as high as 7.988 billion shares, which is not much compared with the total share capital. But it is also Microsoft's third largest individual shareholder, after Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates.

As for why Paul Allen, as one of the founders of Microsoft, holds far fewer shares than Bill Gates, who has been selling shares of Microsoft, and Steve Ballmer, who joined later?

It's simple, because he was fooled by Bill Gates. At the beginning, they founded Microsoft at the same time. Paul Allen was responsible for technology, and Bill Gates was responsible for the company's management, sales, operation and other businesses.

As a result, when the company was founded, Paul Allen wanted to propose a 50% sharing agreement, but Bill Gates thought that Paul Allen was still paid by Altair manufacturer MITs, while Bill Gates had no income, so the proportion was 60% for Bill Gates and 40% for Paul Allen.

After that, Bill Gates, as the company's operator, increased his stake again to 64% and Paul Allen's to 36%. After that, Paul Allen left Microsoft because of Hodgkin's disease.

However, in 1990, they returned to Microsoft. Unfortunately, at this time, the differences between the two sides have become very big. Finally, Paul Allen left Microsoft, because Bill Gates already had Steve Ballmer at this time, and no longer needed Paul Allen, a genius with a vision beyond 10 years!

Paul Allen didn't say anything about Microsoft or bill gates. There was no explanation.

But Lin Feng knows!
