Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 3104 Bill Gates Resigns

w “Lin, ‘Microsoft’ admitted that they were fooled!” Ellison said in a deep voice. (br /\u003e

Lin Feng nodded slowly. Lin Feng did not expect that Microsoft held a press conference to admit that it had been tricked. Lin Feng has studied Ballmer. He comes from a sales background and is a natural leader. Since college, he has focused all his energy on study, joined various extracurricular activities, and worked hard to become a manager among them. At Harvard, he became the then manager of the school's football team.

Of course, although Ballmer puts most of his energy outside the classroom, it definitely does not mean that Ballmer's academic performance is not good. In China, there has always been a rumor that is highly praised by college students and some wealthy people who did not study much - Bill Gates did not graduate from college and became the richest man in the world, and Steve Jobs did not graduate from college and created the world's richest man in this century. The greatest technological innovation company 'Apple'. Therefore, the real super rich cannot graduate from college.

This rumor is true to a certain extent, but there are also misunderstandings. The biggest misunderstanding is that although people like Bill Gates, Jobs (and Ellison) did not graduate from college, their results were among the top of their era.

For example, Ballmer got a perfect score on the SAT (American College Entrance Examination). Yes, that’s perfect. Of course, Ballmer received a bachelor's degree in mathematics and economics from Harvard and an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business. The reason why Ballmer's academic performance is mentioned here is because he was in the same grade as Bill Gates at the time, and the two lived in the same dormitory. And there is a game between the two. That is, neither of them usually attend class, and the students' time in class is compressed to the shortest possible time, and then one week before the exam is approaching. The two of them study hard and then compete with each other for results.

This week, the two of them studied almost all night long. And test scores. Both of them are a without exception, all are a. The two of them were the only geniuses at Harvard who were not taking classes but could get A's in every subject. Therefore, whether it is Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, although they have not graduated from college, their academic performance is not bad, and they have truly learned the most important knowledge in life in college.

therefore. Although these super-rich people did not graduate from college, they learned the most important knowledge that can change their lives in college. As for not graduating, it is because the knowledge they have mastered is enough for them to use in their entire life. Therefore, they do not need to stay in college and continue to waste their youth. Therefore, college is not useless, but it depends on how you use college to learn knowledge. Life without college. It's a pity.

"What now?" Ellison asked in a deep voice.

"Let's take a look first! Let's see what they plan to do!" Lin Feng said while holding his chin.

Ballmer is a person who assesses the situation very well and knows how to be patient. This time, he publicly pointed out that "Microsoft" was injured, which means that something happened to "Microsoft", giving Ballmer the confidence to disclose this embarrassing matter to "Microsoft".

"Regarding this scam. Since we have signed the contract in black and white, our company can only accept this contract and accept this false contract. But here, I want to strongly condemn this fraudulent behavior of Mr. Qiu Deba. Of course. , I know that the transaction between Mr. Qiu Deba and us was largely not his intention. I believe that there are other people behind it. Here, I want to strongly condemn the person behind this, and I want to. Tell this person - fraud is always just fraud. If a businessman can only rely on fraud to do business, then what awaits him in the end is not success but a dark prison," Ballmer said coldly.

curse! This is the most vicious curse! And all reporters know who Ballmer is cursing. What he is cursing is Lin Feng, the hottest and most influential super business genius today.

But is this curse useful? No matter whether this contract is a fraud or not, since 'Microsoft' has admitted it and can't find any evidence to accuse Lin Feng, then why is he admitting this at this moment? You know, as a listed company, if you take the initiative to admit this kind of mistake, no matter what your attitude is, no matter what the whole story is, you will lose US$1.05 billion, which will have a direct impact on the stock price. Before this, ‘Microsoft’ acquired ‘Women’, causing the stock price to rise by 15%. How much will it fall this time?

Nasdaq gave everyone the answer, and the stock price of 'Microsoft' plummeted 7%! Moreover, the stock price continues to fall. The market expects that Microsoft's stock price may fall by more than 1% due to this "fake acquisition" scandal. Based on the current market capitalization of ‘Microsoft’, 1% is equivalent to US$24.7 billion. Moreover, the market believes that if ‘Pangu System’ continues to rise, then ‘Microsoft’s’ stock price will continue to plummet.

According to Wall Street analysis, if the 'Pangu System' is really accepted by the public and occupies 3% of the market share, then the stock price of 'Microsoft' will fall by at least 2%! As for Microsoft, if there is no change in the current situation, this decline will continue. The world's number one software company is likely to be in trouble because of this.

After all, although Microsoft has many products, there are only two that really make money: operating systems and e-office software. The e-office software is also part of the operating system. Once the operating system is attacked and "Microsoft" loses its dominance, then "Microsoft" will really encounter an unprecedented crisis.

Therefore, ‘Microsoft’ must come up with countermeasures. Countermeasures against the ‘Pangu System’. We must not pin all our hopes on cracking the graphics card driver of 'Female A' like we do now. What countermeasures will ‘Microsoft’ take? All reporters are looking forward to it.

"Here, in addition to condemning the mastermind behind this, we also want to announce three things." Ballmer said solemnly.

three things? Which three? Can the current impasse at 'Microsoft' be changed?

"The first thing we want to announce is that Mr. Bill Gates will withdraw from the daily operations of the company, will no longer be involved in any daily affairs of the company, and will resign as chief software architect. However, Mr. Bill Gates will continue to serve as Chairman of the company, and assisting Mr. Steven Sinofsky in software development," Ballmer announced.

What! This first news was like a bombshell, exploding in the hearts of all reporters, and everyone stood up on the spot.

Bill Gates is no longer involved in any daily affairs of the company. Isn't this equivalent to retirement? why is that? At such an important juncture of "Microsoft", when "Microsoft" encountered the challenge of Lin Feng, Bill Gates retired. Why is this?

This news directly caused the share price of ‘Microsoft’ to drop another 3%. Counting the previous ones, Microsoft's stock price has plummeted by 1% in just ten minutes today.

"Everyone, I would like to explain here why I will no longer interfere in all the company's affairs. I will no longer interfere in the company's affairs because this time I have to be responsible for my own actions!" Bill Gates stood up. Shen Sheng said, "This 'fake acquisition' incident has brought huge losses to the company, but this is not President Ballmer's fault, but mine!"

Lin Feng frowned and snorted.

"Gates is trying to protect Ballmer! What a smart move!" Lin Feng said coldly.

Ellison nodded. "Microsoft" can achieve its current status. In addition to Bill Gates, President Steve Ballmer also has great achievements. Without Ballmer's leadership, "Microsoft" would not be so successful. If Ballmer takes all the blame this time, it will be difficult for investors to continue to have the same confidence in Microsoft if the company does not change its president. Especially after such a big incident happened, if no one takes responsibility, wouldn't it be a joke? Then the credibility of 'Microsoft' will suffer a devastating blow.

Of course, this devastating blow was not caused by US$100 million, but by Microsoft acquiring a shell company, an acquisition that was originally determined to win but had fatal flaws. This caused 'Microsoft' to lose the opportunity to attack 'Pangu System'.

So, someone has to step up and take on everything. Ballmer is the perfect candidate. But with Ballmer gone, who will lead Microsoft? This position is not for everyone. And Bill Gates values ​​Ballmer's talent, so he must blame someone.

Ordinary executives are not qualified, but those who are qualified take the blame and suffer huge losses to the company. Therefore, the most suitable candidate is Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft who has been semi-retired but has huge influence. Moreover, his resignation will not only calm the "shell company" crisis, but also gain sympathy and point the finger at himself.

This trick is really great! Lin Feng must admit that Bill Gates' sudden resignation was indeed unexpected and made him a little passive.

The stock price of Nasdaq sent a very powerful signal to Bill Gates' resignation. The stock price did not fall because of Bill Gates' resignation, but rose slightly.

"Everyone, although I am no longer the company's software architect, there is someone more suitable for this position than me. He is Mr. Steven Sinofsky, who I would like to introduce to you. He will replace me as Microsoft's chief executive. He is the chief software architect, and I serve as deputy to assist him in all aspects!" Bill Gates introduced a somewhat bald middle-aged man next to him.

Many reporters turned their attention to this man who had kept a low profile since he entered the scene. Who is he? What talents do you have? (To be continued)m
