, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!

Santa Clara, California, United States.

McAfee (antivirus) company.

"Hi, Dr. Sinkels, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Zhu Ke had just entered the meeting room of McAfee, and met an old acquaintance among the shareholder representatives.

——Sinkels Mendes!

Male, 42 years old, graduated from Stanford University with a doctorate in theoretical computer science and a master's degree in financial market management. He has worked in Apple, IBM, and Citi Investment Bank successively. He joined Microsoft in 1996 and is currently the head of the Microsoft MSN project team and one of the senior vice presidents of Microsoft headquarters.

Proper Microsoft executives!

"Hi, Zhuke."

Shinkels saw Zhu Ke, at first he was taken aback, and immediately shook hands with him, saying: "Mr. Wald, we haven't seen each other for almost a year since icq's goodbye. This time, McAfee voted on the B round of financing. For the meeting, I didn't expect you to come in person."

"Why can't I come in person?" Zhu Ke smiled.

Shinkels laughed and said: "For you, who has a net worth of tens of billions, I think you won't take it to heart with McAfee's share expansion meeting."

Zhuke shook his head and said, "I invested money anyway."

"Just one McAfee, why bother you condescending to come here?" Shinkels said again.

Zhuke waved his hand: "You don't wear high hats for me. My wealth is only one-tenth of your boss Bill Gates. I am not a rich man."

The two talked cordially?

Actually... all shit!

Sinkels is testing Zucker right now, after all, Microsoft wants to occupy the magpie's nest and take a controlling stake in McAfee.

"Damn, why did this guy come here in person? Maybe it's going to happen~" Shinkels squinted.

At this moment, Zhuke was also quite upset.

"Fuck, why are there Microsoft everywhere?" Zhu Ke cursed secretly.

Microsoft~

In the United States of America in the late 1990s, Microsoft was a behemoth, like a giant!

Apart from its dominance in computer system software, its tentacles have crazily extended to all walks of life in the United States. Especially in the Internet field, Microsoft is spreading the Internet, using huge cash flow to grab all the resources that can be seized, and its huge appetite wants to become the overlord of the entire Internet field!

With the passage of time, representatives of various shareholders have come one after another...

Zhuke is undoubtedly the person with the highest net worth among all the people present;

But other people are not idlers. Apart from the billionaires themselves, many of them hold senior positions in large companies.

"Is he Zucker Wald?"

"Yes, it's him!"

"God, he is too young. Although I learned from the media that he is the youngest billionaire in the United States, I can see it with my own eyes at this moment, and there is still a sense of trance."

"Haha, Med. Not to mention you, but I feel like I have lived as a dog for decades."

"I have to say, his vision is good enough."

"Yes, he Zhuke Wald invested in McAfee as early as the end of August 1997. At that time, McAfee was only a younger brother in the anti-virus industry. Who knows how strong it is now?!"

"Damn it, why didn't I look at McAfee so early."

All the shareholders and shareholder representatives present, looking at the young Zhu Ke, who was a little too overwhelmed, couldn't help but whispered discussions.

Envy, jealousy, anger, pride...

All kinds of emotions are constantly reflected in everyone.

Of course, there is no shortage of people who want to befriend Zhuke.

One more friend and one more road are not just proverbs owned by the East.

Not long after, McAfee Chairman and CEO George Samenuk appeared on the scene.

The third voting meeting for the B round of share expansion officially began.

"Everyone, as of now, in the past two months, as many as 17 companies, individuals, investment banks, and funds have expressed their eagerness to buy shares to McAfee."

"For this reason, in half a month, we also held two rounds of voting meetings. This is the third and final vote. I hope everyone will be cautious."

"For or against?"

"The decision is in everyone's hands!"

As George Samenuk's voice fell, the current shareholders immediately started talking again.

Approval of share expansion, obviously can win a considerable cash flow for McAfee, allowing the company to further develop;

Opposition to share expansion is the idea of most shareholders!

They firmly believe that McAfee should now fight steadily and plan new anti-virus software and systems instead of blindly expanding the market;

George Samenuk said: "I'm going to make a statement first, I don't agree to increase shares and raise funds now!"

Suddenly, several shareholders and shareholder representatives nodded in agreement.

"I object!"

At this moment, Sphink, a 5.1% shareholder, stepped forward.

"Everyone, the Internet market is so good now, and McAfee's stock price is also rising. It is a good time to officially expand, how can you let this opportunity pass?" Sphinkron said.

"Fart~"

A grumpy shareholder immediately roared: "Sfink, don't think I don't know your little abacus, what do you want to do? You are not Microsoft's dog-legs, treat us as fools!"

Another shareholder echoed: "Microsoft wants a controlling stake in McAfee, so why is it so much?"

"Rude!" Sphink looked ugly.

Everyone knows that Microsoft wants to occupy the magpie's nest.

Many people yelled at Sphink. Of course, the representative of Microsoft Shinkels also joined the battlefield.

The entire conference room is extremely noisy.

At this moment, Zhu Ke was stunned.

It was the first time for Zhu Ke to participate in McAfee's shareholder meeting. He never expected that the internal conflicts within the board of directors would be so intensified.

Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao!

"Ahem~"

Chairman George Samenuk looked ugly and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet, rest for half an hour, and we will discuss."

"Tsk tusk~ It's really wonderful." Zhu Ke joked.

Everything is because of profit!

In 1997, when Zhu Ke first took a stake in McAfee, the overall market price of McAfee was less than $50 million.

But now?

——300 million US dollars!

In just two years, McAfee stood out from a crowd of anti-virus software companies with a valuation of up to 300 million US dollars.

Moreover, many people are optimistic about the height that McAfee, which is recognized by the market, can reach in the future.

A valuation of 1 billion US dollars is definitely not the limit of McAfee!

In fact, Zhu Ke wants to say: "Just kidding, as the world's second largest anti-virus software supplier in the future, the value of McAfee can be measured with more than 1 billion US dollars?"

Microsoft is an existence that wants to get involved in any industry, and they will naturally not let McAfee go.

The rest of the shareholders, including chairman George Samenuk, are naturally unwilling to sit back and watch Microsoft Holdings McAfee.

Therefore, the current 15% stake held by Zhu Ke is somewhat intriguing.

.......

During the break.

Chairman George Samenuk personally wooed Zucker.

"Mr. Wald, you don't want Microsoft to dilute your shares. Therefore, we are on the same front. We absolutely cannot expand our shares at this stage to allow Microsoft's conspiracy to come true." George Samenuk said solemnly.

"What you said makes sense." Zhu Ke nodded heavily.

Not long.

Microsoft representative Shinkels also came to win Zhuke.

"Zuke, we are old friends. You can give me a quasi-word, what do you think of the stock expansion?" Shinkels asked with a smile.

Zhuke spread his hands and said blankly: "I don't have any opinion!"

Sinkels: "..."

Nima~www.novelmtl.com~ Is this pretending to be confused?

Sinkels said solemnly: "Zuke, stop joking with me."

Zhu Ke laughed and said, "Didn't you make a joke with me first?"

In a word, there are not enough benefits, why can you win me over?

Empty mouth, white teeth, empty gloves, white wolf!

Want to be beautiful!
