Extraordinary Genius

Feng Yu said that something was not really an excuse, but something was really happening. He was looking for someone to ask Microsoft's board of directors, which he didn't know before.

The only impression that Feng Yu has of Microsoft's current director is the future Microsoft CEO Steve? Ballmer, a man who was not a founder and did not pay to invest, actually got a high stake!

When Microsoft was IPO in 1986, Bill Gates held 49 percent, and Paul Allen held 35 percent, Steve? Eight percent for Ballmer and eight percent for other employees. Of course, these are all references to voting units.

Paul Allen invested in a lot of companies the day he left Microsoft, but it all blew out, and just last year, he invested in a cable company that sold all of its shares out of anger because he refused his boost request, and the company's market value rose 50 percent.

Paul Allen was also the stupidest investor by many. Feng Yu wasn't particularly fond of Paul Allen. Maybe he was Paul? Alan is technically and thoughtfully good, but he's not really a qualified manager, and he likes to be hands-on and not give up.

Because of the shares, Paul? Alan and Bill? Gates had quarreled more than once. What Bill Gates means is that Paul Allen needs to sell Microsoft's shares to invest in other businesses, which would reduce their voice in Microsoft, so why not sell it directly to Bill? Gates, and Paul? Alan thinks he's sacrificed once and can't afford to lose again. For Bill? Gates to Steve? So many shares in Ballmer, Paul? Alan also has a lot of micro words.

Steve? Ballmer, now he's just Microsoft's vice president. The remaining directors, apart from one chairman of an investment firm, were Microsoft executives, including CFOs, and what surprised Feng Yu was that Microsoft had only eight board members.

Looks like Bill? Gates' power is very strong, even directors, so when voting, it's decided by shares. So, Feng Yu, two percent of the voting shares, doesn't have much say.

Actually, historically, in Bill? When Gates retired, Microsoft's directors rose to 10, and after eight years, Microsoft's directors rose to 11, when, Bill? Gates is just an ordinary director, and even the shareholding ratio is long gone.

Feng Yu looked at it. Steve is the one he should be pulling together in here? Ballmer, because Steve? Ballmer is trusted by Bill Gates and will be Microsoft's CEO in a few years. Especially with Paul? Alan's relationship is still bad.

What if I ignore Steve? Ballmer's future mistakes in making decisions, such as Microsoft never involving hardware, have greatly increased the chances of even rising!

……

A few days later, Microsoft's regular board meeting was held, and the directors looked at Feng Yu as if he were in this room. Who is this young man, looks at his face, looks like an Oriental, how did he get in?

Paul Allen glanced at Feng Yu and snorted. Steve? Ballmer looked at Feng Yu with interest. Is this the new director Bill was talking about?

The other directors, who had no idea of the matter, had no idea that, starting today, the board was going to have one more member, or one so young.

They just saw that the chairman did not speak out and nodded at the young man, which means that he knew the chairman. Paul? Alan looks like he knows this young man, too.

As for who this man is, what he does, they're all a mist.

“Today's Board of Directors has an announcement to make. Feng from the East, the mysterious millionaire who has been acquiring our outstanding shares. ”

The directors all showed surprise, Feng Yu turned slightly to everyone, but did not stand up at all. Others naturally didn't care. After all, Feng Yu's home should be above them.

But Paul? Alan was upset and felt that Feng Yu was not polite enough, but didn't think about it. He didn't usually look at the other directors.

“I exchanged some shares with Paul and Feng, about one percent, which means that Feng has two percent of the voting shares, so I nominated Feng to the board. ”

Bill Gates is a major shareholder and has the right to nominate Feng Yu to the Board of Directors.

Many people misunderstand that the board members must be shareholders, but this is not the case. The board of directors is elected by the shareholders' meeting, of course, the general shareholders nominate themselves, but there are also many non-shareholder directors, which is only rarely seen in Huaxia.

Normally, there is an equity incentive to enter the board of directors and eventually become a shareholder, even if it is only a small shareholder.

So, Bill? Gates doesn't nominate. Feng Yu can nominate himself, but Bill? If Gates disagrees, then Feng Woo will never be elected, Bill? Gates is still in control of Microsoft at this time.

Actually, Bill? Gates and Paul? Alan or Steve? Ballmer can decide to enter Feng Yu on the board of directors, so he's either proposing it today or informing everyone that it's not easy for others to agree!

The Board of Directors is the supreme governing body elected by the shareholders and can be elected and naturally dismissed. And Microsoft's director, who hasn't changed, well, who's against Bill? The Gates resolution people, they've been replaced.

Bill Gates is in Microsoft, but the number one shareholder, chairman, president and CEO, in many small companies, the president is alone with the CEO, or simply one, but in many large companies, because of the complexity of administration, the chairman appoints two people to share management and checks and balances.

And Steve? Ballmer is the vice president, and that's what he does.

Finish listening, Bill? Gates' words, the rest of the board applaud, only Paul? Alan, as if he hadn't even heard that, he was still stuffing his head with coffee.

Everyone looks at Feng Yu. This is going to the board? What do you mean, Bill? Gates is very supportive, and Paul? Alan doesn't support it. Are these two going to make a scene again?

“Well, welcome to that, next I propose to appoint Feng as Vice President of Microsoft Asia Pacific, primarily responsible for Huaxia's business. ”

Now that you understand, no wonder it's an Oriental, it looks like it's Huaxia. Is this a big move into the military Huaxia market?

Steve? Ballmer asked at this time, "Which business is responsible for Huaxia? ”

Without Bill? Gates opened his mouth and Feng Yu said with a smile: “All of it. All business in Huaxia, it's up to me. I don't interfere with any other decisions of the company. ”

Steve? Isn't it a little hasty that Ballmer frowned and gave Huaxia such an important market to such a young man? Although Feng is a major shareholder, he is not necessarily a good decision maker.

Why would Bill agree that this Huaxia has a high status in Huaxia?

Bill Gates added, "You can rest assured that Feng can help Microsoft completely take over the Huaxia market. Do you have any other suggestions today? If not, today's board of directors is over. ”

This meeting of the board of directors was held for Feng Yu.

Steve? Ballmer found that Feng Yu smiled at him several times, making him a little strange...
