Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 209 Revenge!

"Currently, the total share capital of Microsoft Corporation is 1000 million shares, of which Mr. Bill Gates holds 60.00% shares640, which is 30.00 million shares, and Mr. Paul Allen holds 360% shares40.00, which is 25 million shares. After financing , Microsoft's total share capital will be expanded to 20.00 million shares, of which Mr. Bill Gates holds [-]% of the shares at [-]%, Mr. Paul Allen holds [-]% of the shares, Destiny Games holds [-]%, and Wenlock holds [-]% of the shares. Ten out of ten."

"At the same time, Microsoft will set up a nine-member board of directors, and the directors' seats will be allocated according to the shareholding ratio. Mr. Bill Gates has four seats, Mr. Paul Allen has two seats, Destiny Games has two seats, and Wenlock has one. seat."

"In order to ensure the interests of investors, after Destiny Games and Wenlock join Microsoft, all future financing activities of Microsoft must be approved by Destiny Games and Wenlock. If one party's shareholding ratio is less than 5.00% of the total share capital, Then that party will lose the right to vote on financing.”

"In addition, Destiny Games and Wenlock have the right of first refusal to purchase a corresponding amount of equity in the new round of equity financing in the future according to the proportion of their fully diluted equity, and the company's equity reorganization such as splitting, merging, and bonus shares conversion right at the time."

"In addition, Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Paul Allen need to develop the first version of the spreadsheet within 120 days of investment. Within six months after the sale, Microsoft shall not launch a version adapted to other machines."

"The release time and sale time of the first version of the electronic form will be determined by Destiny Games, and other versions after that will be determined by Microsoft Corporation. In principle, after the release of the first version of the electronic form, Destiny Games and Wenlock will There will be no further interference in the specific operations of Microsoft."

When Bill Gates and Paul Allen decided to accept the investment from Destiny Games, the negotiations related to it officially started. On the afternoon of August [-]rd, Bill Gates’ father personally brought people over from Washington State. In the evening, Professor Barbara Babcock, who was shaken by Ethan, also arrived in San Jose. On the morning of the [-]th, Lawrence Rockefeller's personal lawyer also flew from New York to California.

After three days of arguing, the three parties finally reached an agreement. Under Wenlock's argument, Microsoft could only hold its nose and accept the agreement on the structural anti-dilution clause. , and unfortunately gave up the operating power of the first version of the spreadsheet.

Ethan was very satisfied with the investment contract that had been signed, and stood up to shake hands with Bill Gates and the others.As for Bill Gates... the guy who was still smiling after being arrested for speeding was like a frost-beaten eggplant at the moment, and he smiled when he pulled the corner of his mouth.

This situation caused Ethan to pat him on the shoulder, leaning his body slightly and whispered in his ear: "William, business is business, everyone will be a family from now on, let's be happy."

Bill Gates snorted twice, until he caught the suggestive look from his father, and then he reluctantly said: "Yes, business is business, keep in touch with him more in the future."

"Hahaha--"

Ethan laughed and hugged him.

After sending away the Microsoft team who didn't want to stay for a long time, Ethan turned his attention to Wenlock's team again.

As before, those who fell to the end were still the two people who participated in Apple's investment negotiations.

"Happy cooperation." Ethan extended his right hand to them.

He has already seen who is the backbone of this group of people.

"Happy cooperation." The two responded with a smile, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Rockefeller was very happy after receiving your cooperation invitation. He liked the software project you proposed very much, and said that if there is an opportunity in the future, you You can go to New York, of course, when you have time."

While talking, they also took out a business card holder and pushed it in front of Ethan.

Inside the business card holder was a silver-white business card with Lawrence Rockefeller printed on it, but what was different from the one Ethan had received before was that there was a string of phone numbers under the name of this business card. If Ethan Sen remembered correctly, the first few digits were the New York area code.

"Okay, I will." Ethan accepted the business card with a smile.

Watching the back of Wenlock and his party leaving, Ethan with his hands on his back was in a good mood.

In fact, after deciding to ask Bill Gates to write software for him, Ethan knew that it was impossible for this guy who had been the richest man for many years in his previous life to be obedient.

No way, who made this guy have too many previous convictions?
BASIC is obviously an open source language written by the dean of Dartmouth College. They had no intention of using it to make money, but Bill Gates and Paul Allen modified it and started charging money;
IBM needed a disk operating system. Anyone could write this thing, but Bill Gates was too lazy to write it. He bought a DOS directly from a young programmer and then resold it to IBM;

Not to mention the so-called Windows, which they brought with Apple's good neighbor Xerox.

When a second-generation person with almost no sense of morality wants to start a business, it will definitely be a disaster to show him inspiration directly. If you want to let this guy with background, technology, and connections but no bottom line work for you, Then you have to find someone who can hold the place.

And Rockefeller...

Sorry, they specialize in all kinds of dissatisfaction.

Last winter, when he was robbed by Rockefeller, Ethan Jones was indeed a little upset.

But now...

When he saw Bill Gates signing obediently, he felt like a fake tiger...

Still very happy Ang!
When Ethan hummed a little tune and twisted around, he got into his sister's office and told her that everything was done, the face that peeked out from behind the Apple computer was full of smiles.

"Is it so happy to see others bow their heads?"

"Of course!"

"Oh - then your moral sense is quite low."

"..."

Evelin's comment made Ethan's face suddenly darken, and just when he was about to make a few excuses, Evelin burst out laughing again, "But it's not important, I don't care."

"Hey~" Ethan was happy.

If it was a girl from a few years ago, then she might feel that Ethan's behavior of using the opportunity to oppress others is a bit shameless. After all, Bill Gates has no grudge against them, and Ethan used the robbery that he hates on the other party. What is the difference between this kind of behavior and doing evil?
But now, the girl thinks everything is normal.

You can't be moral when dealing with old money.

Because those who are moral can never become capital.

And when you can't even make capital, you can only be ravaged by the other party.

"But I don't understand why we don't do the inspiration of spreadsheets ourselves?"

Evelyn asked curiously: "To be honest, after you told me about this inspiration, I really think this software is no worse than games like "Pac-Man" and "Star Wars."

"Not to mention selling for one billion, but several hundred million should still be possible."

"We don't earn such a large amount of money ourselves? Why do we have to find Bill Gates?"

Evelyn winked at Ethan.

And Ethan—

"Oh—I want to do it myself—but human energy is limited——"

Ethan changed his posture and said helplessly: "I admit, I am tired of managing just our game company, let alone computers and chips outside. When our business territory becomes bigger and bigger, , it becomes inevitable to control an industry by means of investment.”

"Besides, there are still countless threats of piracy in the software industry. If we do it ourselves, I don't have the energy to deal with it even if I am split in half. Therefore, finding an investment with a background is the best choice at the moment. More The important thing is that Bill Gates' mother has relationships with major companies, and with him, the spreadsheet software can easily enter the procurement lists of major companies."

"The significance of his existence is not to do a good job of this software, but to have the ability to prevent other large enterprises from making this software, completely blocking the development route of competitors."

Ethan knows that Office is Microsoft's cash cow. In the future, the revenue of this business will account for more than 30.00% of Microsoft's total revenue.It's a bit silly to hand over such a thing to Microsoft, and only take [-]% of it yourself, but do it yourself...

When he couldn’t pull out a monkey’s hair and turn into tens of thousands of monkeys like the Great Sage, if he made office suites by himself, he would definitely run into Microsoft, who started to learn from his eyes, and when Bill Gates What can he do when Ci starts copying?

Fight him?

How can he have time!

Now he is not only making games, but under the umbrella of Destiny Games, there are three subsidiaries: Destiny Films, Michael Blanc Manufacturing Company, and Western Design Company.

In addition, there are Jones and Johnson Agricultural Production Company, Apple Computer Company, Nintendo Kyoto Chip Manufacturing Company, and Chuck Pai Duo Chip Company related to him outside.

Many of these companies do not require him to manage them personally. When Evelyn is in control of technical issues, he is already busy and about to fly. If there are more companies, he can choose the cemetery in advance!
"That would be really too busy, too tiring, and just too impractical."

"Others' group operation is to achieve the ultimate in one industry and then expand outwards, but what about us? We are doing several industries well at the same time! On the surface, my wealth expansion speed will be several times that of others times, but I may live decades less than others!"

"This is something I can't accept!"

"I spent my time making money and I didn't enjoy it myself?"

"Then I'm not mentally ill!"

When Ethan yawned and said that he really didn't have enough energy, Evelin, who was sitting behind the desk, immediately smiled and put her chin on the back of her hand.

"Are you done now?" she asked.

"uh-huh."

"Then take a break? Go out to play for two days? I just happen to be on vacation now..."

"Uh...that won't work, I still have something to do."

Ethan's words made Evelyn a little curious, because the girl couldn't figure out what else Ethan needed to do when the chip crisis had been resolved and countermeasures had been launched.

But after Ethan picked up the landline on her desk and dialed a number, the words that came out of Ethan's mouth made her suddenly realize, and then she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hello? MOS Technology? I'm Ethan Jones."

"No, No, No, I did not make a wrong call, I am not here to find Chuck Paido, I am looking for you, the chairman and CEO of MOS Technology..."

"I called today to inform you of one thing. Now I hold 20.00% of the shares of Chuck Pedro Chip Production Company. At the same time, Nintendo Kyoto Chip Company also has your chip authorization. Since your company wants to was acquired by Commodore, then please repurchase this part of the shares, and at the same time take back the authorization of Nintendo."

"Since it was you who breached the contract, my asking price is not high. The total of the two items is 1000 million——"

"Dollars!"

"And I want cash."

"What? You think I'm dreaming?"

"Okay! Then you take my words to your masters!"

"I! Ethan Jones! I want your MOS Technology to spend 1000 million US dollars to repurchase 20.00% of the shares of Chuck Padre Chip Company! And compensate the losses of Nintendo Kyoto Chip Manufacturing Company!"

"If you don't want to! I will entrust Rockefeller with 5000 million US dollars! Let them help me buy the shares of Commodore Group in the open market!"

"I don't buy Komodor!"

"I will only submit to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders according to the procedure after the shares reach the limit!"

"I'll keep calling for a reshuffle of the Komodor board!"

"I will keep asking for revisions to the company's business policy and investment plan!"

"I will keep asking for the approval of the company's annual financial budget and final accounts plan!"

"I will keep asking the company to make a profit distribution plan for shareholders!"

"I will continue to propose employment plans that cut management salaries and compensation!"

"I will keep asking companies to fire executives!"

"You sons of bitches want to steal my money from those Wall Street bastards, right?"

"Then don't blame me for using your methods to attack you! If you don't take 1000 million to buy back my shares! I'm going to toss you so hard that you can't start a company!"

"I only give you three days!"

"In three days, I must meet 1000 million!"

"And that's after-tax compensation!"

"The capital gains tax on the sale of the shares is your responsibility!"

"If I don't see the money in three days, I'll be calling Lawrence Rockefeller!"

"Snapped--"

After Ethan yelled, he hung up the phone.

And that crisp voice made Evelyn laugh out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

At this moment, her tears were about to fall from laughter.

"Ethan—you're really—revenge all day long—"

"Hahaha--"

That's right!

Even if the chip problem has been solved!
Even if a countermeasure has been found!
Ethan was still very unhappy in his heart!
He obviously didn't do anything, it's just because those gangsters on Wall Street felt that the dollar bills were destined for them, so they came to snatch his things like a grandson, and wanted to press him down!
Although Ethan in his previous life was no stranger to this kind of gangster behavior, but when he really met, he would not be used to those bird people!When the internal crisis has temporarily subsided, punching those gentle scum in the face is what he wants to do most!
Didn't that group of birdmen want to engage in a hostile takeover that caught him off guard?
Don't those idiots want to swallow the computer industry?

you can!

Then I will repay him with his way, and use your method to disgust you!
I will tell you clearly now, if you don’t pay me money, I will punish you!

Anyway, I have [-] million cash in hand, so I can play with you slowly!

If you don't give me money, I will hate you for giving me money!

As for revenge?
Ah--

Excuse me.

Lao Tzu's company is not listed.

As long as it is not on the market, then I am invincible~

At the beginning, it was six to four, but Bill Gates finally changed it to 30.00 in order to control the company. % four and 67% six.Although there is no 20.00, there is still a saying about it. For example, after the first round of financing sells 64% of the equity, Gates will only be diluted to 51 in the case of [-].
