Chapter 178 Bill Gates’ Thoughts
"Boss, what's the point of buying this company?" Clyde puzzled.
"Clyde, remember that we are here to make money. If we want decision-making power, we can open a company ourselves. There is no need to go so far to acquire such a company." Lin Yu said with a smile.
Although Clyde was still a little confused, he agreed and said, "Boss, then we can't do anything about decision-making power at all, we just need to pay dividends."
"This is not OK. If this happens, what can we use to influence the government in the future? Although 30% is not a lot, if we all own these shares in more than a dozen companies, I believe that even if the US government wants to move, we must consider it." Lin Yu said.
After hearing Lin Yu say this, Clyde understood the boss’s plan.
After admiring in his heart, Clyde smiled and said, "Then boss, I will do what you said."
Without saying anything, Clyde hung up the phone and walked into the room.
Bill Gates was in a daze alone in the room.
After Clyde said he wanted to report to his boss, Bill Gates kept guessing who the boss would be?
Is it a certain consortium or a family? When I think of this, Bill Gates frowned even deeper. If it was a consortium or family, how could his small company resist the other party?
In addition, what made Bill Gates most curious is how the other party would look for his own small company. You should know that although the market value of Microsoft is now evaluated to be more than 100 million US dollars, Microsoft's actual value is only less than 100 million. Bill Gates really can't figure out how the other party would come to him.
When he heard someone enter the door, Bill Gates mocked the gods and looked at Clyde.
Clyde saw Bill Gates looking at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Bill Gates, I have a plan here. I don't know if it's feasible?"
When Bill Gates heard this, he said curiously: "What are some good plans do you have?"
"That's right, sir, what you want is decision-making power, but we don't care much about decision-making power, so what do you think of this method?" After a pause, Clyde continued: "We acquire 49% of Microsoft's shares, of which we only have 30% of the decision-making power, and for the other 19% of the shares, we only have dividends and don't have decision-making power, that is, you are still the first shareholder of Microsoft."
When Bill Gates was surprised to hear Clyde say this, the other party's idea was really beyond his expectations. He did not have decision-making power and just paid dividends. Could it be that the other party would just make money by urging his company?
Bill Gates, who had a headache about these problems, simply stopped thinking about it and asked directly: "Sir, I don't know why you made such a decision? Do you just believe that Microsoft will make money?"
Hearing this question, Clyde smiled slightly and said, "No, no, no, if it is just for money, then we don't have to come here to acquire your company. We just need to go around the stock market and believe that we will make more money than we earn in your company."
When Bill Gates heard Clyde's answer, he became a little curious. It was not for making money, but for what?
"I'm unreasonable, sir, since you are not trying to make money, what's the point of buying shares in my company?" Clyde asked.
Clyde frowned. How to answer this question? Do you want to tell you that it is to increase your influence on the government?
A joke, if you say that, I believe Rockefeller and the Morgan family will attack themselves and their boss the next day.
Clyde has no doubt about the US government's monitoring capabilities at all.
Since I couldn't say it, Clyde had to smile helplessly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I don't know what it is for. I'm just responsible for the acquisition, but I can guarantee that this is definitely not a bad thing for Microsoft."
Although Clyde said this, Bill Gates still asked worriedly: "Sir, are you from a certain consortium or family?"
Hearing this question, Clyde showed a strange smile on his face, looked at Bill Gates, and said, "Don't worry, our boss is not from a family or consortium yet."
No now, it does not mean it will not be in the future.
Clyde always believed that his boss would definitely establish a huge family in the future, a family that is no weaker than the top ten consortiums in the United States.
Of course, this is just Clyde's idea. It is not an easy thing to build a family that does not have to be weak in the top ten consortiums in the United States. Lin Yu did not have much confidence in this.
You know, building a family is not just about who has more money, but more about strength.
Just like the DuPont Consortium in the United States, although the money is not much less than the Rockefeller and the Morgan family, the strength of the DuPont Consortium is far inferior to the Morgan and the Rockefeller family. This is not a problem of money, it is a problem of strength. You should know that the Rockefeller and the Morgan family jointly control the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has a control agency with the right to issue US dollars. If the Federal Reserve controls the Federal Reserve, it means controlling the issuance of the US dollar and the development of the United States. In addition, these two big families also control some of the American troops, which is not much worse than the American army. Although other families also have their own private armed forces, compared with the Rockefeller and the Morgan family, it is a small fight. In addition, in Canada, both big families have privately maintained their own armed forces. Although they are private organizations, they are not much worse than the American army.
Therefore, if you want to establish a family, there is no difference between establishing a country, the resistance and pressure in it are simply not something that ordinary people can withstand.
However, it is still too early to say this now. What Lin Yu has to do now is to make the best efforts to accumulate original capital, control resources, and control the economy.
In fact, Clyde's words were also what the people around Lin Yu thought. In their opinion, it was a matter of time before their boss wanted to establish a family. There was no way. The main reason was that Lin Yu was too evil, eighteen years old, oh no, he should be 19 years old now, because 84 years have passed, and now 85 years old.
He used so much money at the age of nineteen. You should know that he was nineteen years old, not twenty-nine years old, nor thirty-nine years old. At the age of nineteen, he would have to have at least 50 years to grow old, and he would have to have to have 70 years to die. At this rate, he could have to establish a family in less than seventy years, twenty years later.
So it is understandable that Clyde said this.
But Clyde thought so, but Bill Gates didn't think so. Hearing the other party said that it was not the young master from the family, Bill Gates breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I don't know what business is the sir's boss doing now?"
"My boss? Oh, he is still a student and studying in China." Clyde said.
"Student?" Bill Gates opened his eyes wide. He really didn't believe that the person who wanted to acquire his company was actually a student, which made him a little shocked.
"Yes, sir, my boss is a student, but in my opinion, it's useless for him to go to that school. He can run such a school every year." Clyde shook his head and said.
He was a little puzzled by Lin Yu's experience since he returned to China to study. In his opinion, that university diploma is optional, and the important thing is to have ability.
However, since the boss said he was going, he couldn't say anything. After all, in his opinion, that was a private matter that belonged to Lin Yu.
Hearing Clyde's words, Bill Gates was even more surprised. How much does it cost to build a school cost Bill Gates still knew that since it is a university, the funds needed will definitely be over 100 million. Since it is where the other party's boss goes to school, it must be a prestigious school. The money required to build a prestigious school is more than 100 million, and it is possible to build a prestigious school. However, the other party said that the money you earn every year can run such a school. Wouldn't you make more than 100 million or even more in that year?
In fact, this was just something Clyde said casually, just to express his inability to understand the boss's behavior, but he didn't expect Bill Gates to think so. If Clyde knew Bill Gates's thoughts, he would definitely make his stomach hurt.
After looking at Bill Gates, Clyde asked with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Bill Gates agrees with my suggestion."
"No, sir, I will only give you 10% of the dividend rights, because you will have to go public in the future and share some of the equity, so 10% is going long." Bill Gates shook his head.
Clyde thought about it and really didn't want to talk about it any more on this issue, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Bill Gates, I hope we will have a happy future cooperation."
As he said that, he stood up and shook hands with Bill Gates.
"Happy cooperation." Bill Gates also stood up, shook hands and said with a smile.
He sold forty percent of his shares in an instant, which made Bill Gates feel painful. Fortunately, he only sold for 30 percent, and he could still accept these shares.
However, when Bill Gates thought of the young boss Clyde mentioned, he felt a little curious. He was a representative of young entrepreneurs, but compared with the boss Clyde mentioned, it was obvious that his grades were not enough.
If you make more than one billion a year, that's the case for Apple?
Thinking of this, he became curious about the young boss. Looking at Clyde sitting there drinking coffee, Bill Gates said hesitantly: "Mr. Clyde, I wonder if I can meet the young boss you?"
