But the eight rebels and Schmidt underestimated Microsoft's determination to join the game.

After seeing the huge profits, Gates used a lot of cash flow and planned to give it a try.

At this point, the eight rebels lacked the courage of the richest man.

In fact, it is not the eight rebels' fault for not working hard. At this time, Intel had already taken out two years of total profits, and other semiconductor companies had also gone all out.

But they could not withstand Microsoft's wealth.

In less than 5 months, the newly released Windows 95 sold 20 million copies at a price of $210!

Microsoft's sales reached the $6 billion mark this year.

The successive successes in the operating system gave Microsoft sufficient cash flow.

Finally, after Microsoft offered $8 billion, it got 15% of ASML's private placement shares!

The eight rebels left their seats dejectedly. This failure dealt them a heavy blow.

When Moore left, he patted Smith's shoulder heavily:

"Smith, you should take care of yourself. This Cayman Capital does have some tricks."

Faced with the setback, Smith's eyelids twitched.

He wanted to vent his anger, but seeing Robert and Gates coming side by side, he had to cheer up and deal with it.

"Smith, you must spread this good news."

Seeing that Smith didn't say anything, Robert persuaded:

"Mr. President, don't be so serious. Microsoft joining us is a happy thing for everyone."

"Besides, this private placement did not cause our stock price to fall. The transaction price was slightly higher than our stock price yesterday. No one's interests were damaged. You should be happy."

Gates also echoed:

"Yes, Microsoft's 8 billion stake in ASML is good news. It is good for the stock prices of both of our companies. Aren't you happy, Smith?"

"Happy, of course I am very happy."

Watching the two capitalists singing the same tune in front of him, Smith almost broke his back teeth.

Not only did he fail to get rid of the control of Cayman Capital as he wished, but he also brought himself an uncontrollable new owner. At this time, his smile was bitter.

……'

And the Wang Group, far away in Hong Kong, was once again caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.

Because the Wang Group started selling projects again.

This time, the Wang Group is still selling its core industry - the Lantau Island seaside villa project!

The seaside villa project is one of the most profitable businesses of the Wang Group.

Countless Hong Kong artists and new rich people have chosen to settle here.

The housing prices here are only slightly lower than those of the Peak, and the price of first-line sea view houses is as high as tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Now it is reported that the Wang Group and Eagle Country Real Estate Company have completed the sale transaction at a price of more than 100 billion.

After Dongdu Company became the buyer as expected, it began to play conspiracy again.

They used the media they controlled to make trouble.

The day after the transaction was completed, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky.

"Wang Group is withdrawing itself from Hong Kong Island and transferring assets to the mainland and the United States."

"Big news, Wang is defecting from Hong Kong City, and the total assets sold are as high as..."

Such news immediately put Wang on the cusp of the storm again.

The reputation of Wang Group in Hong Kong Island has suddenly dropped to the bottom.

Wang Zhengyi even bore the infamy of Wang Paopao.

Under the instigation of the Eagle Country media, some people even launched a boycott of Wang's products.

Wang Zhengyi had no way to defend himself, so he could only deal with it coldly and strictly control the media from following suit.

"Alei, did we really do something wrong?"

The Eagle Country media portrayed him as a vampire, a scum who was rich but unkind.

There were even people who didn't know the truth and threw rotten eggs at him.

This made Wang Zhengyi, who had always pursued the right path, begin to doubt himself.

Could it be that if you have money, you will really become bad?

"Dad, the public has no memory. We can divert the topic by throwing in a few young celebrities. The public will naturally not pursue us."

"As for whether you asked me if I did anything wrong, I want to say that our Wang family has nothing to regret.

We do this to preserve our vitality. If there is a stock market crash in Gangcheng one day and housing prices plummet, our Wang family will make a big rescue. At that time, our Wang family's reputation will naturally improve."

"That makes sense. We are not going to give up our base in Gangcheng. As long as we show our attitude of sticking to Gangcheng and rush to the front line of rescuing the market in the future, Wang's reputation will naturally improve."

"But how do we stick to Gangcheng on the surface?"

"That's easy. We invest in other industries, such as Gangcheng's banks and high-tech industries, and then tell the outside world that our Wang family is further optimizing its own industries and does not rule out completely withdrawing from real estate.The possibility of the industry!"

Wang Zhengyi was a little hesitant. Such a superficial attitude was no different from badmouthing the real estate industry:

"We have eaten our fill, it's not good to blame others."

"Dad, this is controversial. It's better to be scolded by colleagues than to be criticized by thousands of people."

Just when Lao Wang was hesitating.

The old housekeeper suddenly rushed to report:

"Master, something bad has happened. The second master is missing!"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Zhengyi immediately became anxious:

"How could a living person of his age disappear? Could he have kept a mistress somewhere and was at ease there?"

"Master, this time is different. Xiaoliu (Wang Xiaosheng's driver) was knocked unconscious in the car. There were obvious signs of a fight at the scene."

Hearing this, even Wang Lei secretly felt that it was not good.

Could he have encountered a kidnapper?

"Where is Xiaoliu? Call him over for questioning. ”

Hearing Wang Lei's instructions on the phone, the old housekeeper hurriedly said:

"I'll ask him to come over now."

Wang Zhengyi was relatively calm, but his rapid heartbeat betrayed his nervousness at the moment.

Xiao Liu also realized that the problem had become serious, and he dared not help Wang Xiaosheng hide anything.

"Second Master, I have recently kept a little model, and I often go to meet her secretly without telling my wife. Because I was afraid that my wife would find out, I didn't bring too many people..."

"Let's get to the point, what happened."

"Today I was listening to a newly bought record while waiting for Second Master to finish. As a result, not long after the music was turned on, I was knocked unconscious.

I vaguely heard someone calling Brother Qiang..."

When Wang Lei heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he was very surprised.

Shouldn't Zhang Ziqiang's target be the Li family? How did he find the Wang family?

Is the billion incident going to happen again in the Wang family?

Seeing Wang Lei not speaking, Wang Zhengyi asked anxiously:

"Alei, do you know something?"

"Dad, it was Zhang Ziqiang's gang of bandits who kidnapped my second brother!"

Wang Zhengyi's heart also sank when he heard the word "bandit". In recent years, due to the indulgence of the Eagles, the public security in Hong Kong has been very poor.

Several major cases that have shocked Hong Kong have been created.

"Wouldn't it be a life-and-death struggle for the second brother to be kidnapped by them?"

Wang Lei didn't know what to say to comfort his father. His second brother was lucky to fall into Zhang Ziqiang's hands.

He is skilled and bold, and knows that the most important thing for a business to last long is reputation.
