Chapter 742

After separating from stern, Richard immediately returned to the hotel to find Paul Allen.

Paul Allen is teasing Little Mary. "Sterling has let go?"

Richard nodded.

"That's right. Stern's old boy has done a good job this time. He's finally on his way." Paul Allen said with a smile.

……

"Lee, relax. You're no worse than Ballmer. Don't be nervous." Paul Allen looked at Richard as if he was nervous and couldn't help but say.

Richard shook his head. He was not nervous. He was more excited now.

Next, as long as I can persuade Ballmer to quit, I will become the owner of the clipper. As for other competitors, such as magicians or bragging Dad

Richard didn't pay attention at all. He and these people are not players of the same rank at all.

"I see, Paul. What about your relationship with Ballmer?" Richard asked curiously.

Both of them were founded by Microsoft, but their histories are different.

Paul Allen is called the man behind Bill Gates, but in fact, this is not true. He is the first person who proposed to start Microsoft

Later, he and Bill Gates fought for equity, which was also a hot topic. The two sides were extremely unhappy. However, after a smile, the relationship became more harmonious. After all, they were children's friends.

Ballmer, who later joined Microsoft, was the first business manager hired by Bill Gates.

Business manager, as the name suggests, Ballmer is not a technology party, but a business executive. That's why he can take over bill gates now.

Richard can't really see the relationship between the two people. In his opinion, the relationship between the two people is a little delicate

"Don't worry, Li. He and I are good friends. Otherwise, I won't show you to see him." Paul Allen said with a smile.

Richard nodded, and the relationship was good. Don't let Paul Allen come, but it's counterproductive.

……

"Man, when you finally arrive, let's have a glass of champagne." After seeing Paul Allen walk in with Richard, Ballmer was quite enthusiastic.

In the end, the ability to engage in business and such an active atmosphere is not comparable to that of a bookworm like Paul Allen.

At present, Ballmer is absolutely complacent. During his administration of Microsoft, the word-of-mouth and sales volume of win7 system out of the way last year were quite hot, known as the system next to XP

"Steve, I'm afraid you won't be in the mood for champagne after a while." Paul Allen joked.

Ballmer didn't say anything. He looked at Richard curiously.

He wondered how the young man was able to make it, from the poor to the current 4.6 billion dollars.

In this year's new Forbes list, Richard's fortune reached 4.6 billion dollars.

In fact, luck accounts for a large part of his success

If he didn't apply for the job at Microsoft, how could Ballmer have so much wealth now.

But Richard is not. His vision in the field of investment is so precise that it is frightening. The stocks he bought are definitely geometric multiples.

That's why Richard's wealth has skyrocketed in recent years.

Apple, Facebook, twitter and other investments have all brought rich returns to Richard, and this return is far from the limit in the current situation.

This terrible ability makes Ballmer envious. He knows very well that, without accident, Richard may not be able to surpass himself in value for a long time.

"Sit down, Paul. I have to admit that Li is probably the best young man I have ever met. You are really better than me in this respect." Ballmer couldn't help praising Richard.

Paul Allen laughed loudly. "Well, Steve, let's get down to business."

"I don't understand why you have the idea of buying clippers. Are you crazy?"

"Look at your big belly, look at your fat body. I don't remember you are a basketball fanatic." Asked Paul arena, stiffly.

After Paul Allen asked, Richard couldn't help laughing.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it was Paul Allen who encouraged Ballmer to buy the clipper, which led to Ballmer's big purchase of the clipper.

At present, Paul Allen is sure not to encourage Ballmer. Knowing that Richard intends to buy the clipper, he still encourages Ballmer to buy the clipper. Isn't that enough

Richard was very curious about what Ballmer thought and why he thought of buying clipper.

I saw Ballmer smile, "Paul, as you said to me before, eggs can't be put in a basket. I always remember this sentence. It's quite philosophical.""So taking advantage of this opportunity, I decided to enter the sports industry."

"As for the reason why the clipper should be chosen, the reason is very simple. I am optimistic about the future prospect of the clipper. Even the layman knows that the potential of the clipper is too great, and I can definitely make money in the future."

Richard is stunned. Good guy, dare Bauer to buy clipper? It's just because of a word Paul Allen said before?

The most painful thing is that Richard remembers that he said it with Paul Allen

After a long quarrel, it turned out that Ballmer wanted to buy the clipper because of himself.

Richard's face is loveless. What's the matter.

Ballmer and Paul Allen are not the same. Paul Allen is a adventurous man who is also interested in the sports industry. He is not only a pioneer team, but also the Seattle Seahawks of NFL.

It can be seen that Paul Allen is quite interested in the sports industry.

Ballmer has never been involved in the sports industry before. Maybe Paul Allen got good results in the sports industry, so he came up with the idea of buying clippers.

Since Ballmer just wanted to make money, it would be easy. Richard relaxed.

After entering the room, Richard didn't speak, just listened to Paul Allen and Ballmer.

"Cough." Richard gave a light cough, indicating that he had something to say.

The two old men looked at Richard and wanted to hear what Richard would say.

"Mr. Ballmer, if you just want to invest, in fact, it's a better choice to buy the New Orleans hornet right now. The yield will be higher, and it can reach more than 300% in 8 years!" Richard arranged his thoughts and said with a smile.

Ballmer's face is dazed. Is the yield over 300%? How is this possible?

Even if it's eight years, the average annual rate of return can reach more than 40%, which is quite terrifying.

Bauer calculated the comparison. If Richard didn't say anything about it, if he calculated the current $300 million of the Hornets, he would have made a net profit of $900 million by selling the Hornets eight years later?!

This rate of return is really amazing. Ballmer looked at Richard curiously. Where did he come from to say such words.

The confident expression on Richard's face didn't look like nonsense at all.

Richard didn't believe it. At this time, buying a team is really the best time. Even if you don't do anything, the market value of the team can soar. At that time, it will all be a big profit.

After the Hornets, the pelicans, were bought by 300 million US dollars, the market value soared to 1.22 billion US dollars eight years later

This is the pelicans in the past eight years without any outstanding results, if you can play a good record, the market value can continue to rise.

So if Ballmer wants to invest, he will undoubtedly invest in pelicans, which is quite a wise choice.

"Li, your expression tells me that you have never lied, although the news is quite amazing." Said Ballmer gravely.

As a top rich man, he naturally has a top financial team behind him.

His financial team has helped him analyze that the acquisition of clipper is definitely profitable, but only if their acquisition price is no more than $1.2 billion, because the limit of the future market value growth of clipper is $1.5 billion.

In fact, from the current perspective, such a prediction is no problem, because even stern doesn't know that he will sign such a horrible broadcast contract in a few years, which leads to the market value of NBA teams skyrocketing.

Invest $1.2 billion, and reap $300 million.

Invest $300 million and get $900 million.

I'm afraid he's a fool, and he should know what kind of choice to make.

Of course, the premise is that Ballmer has to confirm where Richard's confidence comes from to say this.

If the Hornets really make money, why didn't Richard go to buy the Hornets and instead focus on the Clippers?
