Santa Clara, California, America.

McAfee (antivirus) company.

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

Zhuke just entered the McAfee company's conference room and met an old acquaintance among the shareholder representatives.

——Shinkels Mendes!

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

A true senior Microsoft manager!

"Hi, Juke."

When Hinkels saw Zhuke, he was stunned at first, then shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Wald, we haven't seen each other for almost a year since IQ's farewell. I didn't expect you to come in person this time McAfee's B round of financing voting meeting."

"Why can't I come here in person?" Zucker smiled.

Hinkels laughed and said, "For you, who has a net worth of 10 billion, I don't think you will take McAfee's stock expansion meeting to heart."

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

"It's just McAfee, why bother you to come here with a condescending honor?" Hinkels said again.

Zhuke waved his hand: "Put me a little less hat. My wealth is only one-tenth of your boss Bill Gates. I am not a rich man."

The two of them have a close conversation?

In fact...it's all bullshit!

Hinkels is now testing Zucker. After all, Microsoft wants to take over the nest and take over McAfee's controlling stake.

"Damn it, why did this guy come here in person? Maybe it's going to be complicated~" Hinkels narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, Zhu Ke was also quite unhappy.

"Damn it, why are there Microsoft everywhere?" Zhu Ke cursed inwardly.

Microsoft~

In the late 1990s, Microsoft was a giant and a giant!

In addition to its dominant position in computer system software, its tentacles have also extended crazily to all walks of life in the United States. Especially in the Internet field, Microsoft has cast a wide net, using its huge cash flow to seize all resources that can be seized, and its huge appetite is to become the dominant of the entire Internet field!

As time goes by, representatives of shareholders come one after another...

Zhuke was undoubtedly the most valuable person among the people present;

But others are not ordinary people. Apart from billionaires, many of them hold high vocational positions in large enterprises.

"Is he Juke Wald?"

"Yes, it's him!"

"God, he is too young. Although I learned from the media that he is the youngest billionaire in America, I still feel a sense of trance when I see him with my own eyes."

"Haha, Maid. Not to mention you, even I feel like I have lived to be a dog for decades."

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

"Yes, he, Juke Wald, had invested in McAfee as early as the end of August 1997. At that time, McAfee could only be considered a younger brother in the antivirus industry. Who knows that he is so strong now?!"

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

The shareholders and shareholder representatives present couldn't help but whisper to the young Zhu Ke.

Envy, jealous, angry, proud...

All kinds of emotions are constantly reflected in everyone.

Of course, there are also many people who want to get along with Zucker.

One more friend and one more road is not just a proverb that the East has.

Soon, McAfee Chairman and CEO George Sanmenuk, came to the scene.

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

"Everyone, so far, in the past two months, as many as 17 companies, individuals, investment banks, and funds have expressed their urgent investment ideas to our McAfee Company."

"For this reason, in half a month, we also held two rounds of voting meetings, and this time it was the third and last vote. I hope everyone is very cautious."

"Agree, or object?"

"The decision is in everyone's hands!"

As George Samenuk finished speaking, the current shareholders immediately started to talk.

In favor of the expansion of shares, it will obviously gain a considerable cash flow for McAfee and allow the company to develop further;

Opposing share expansion is the idea of ​​most shareholders!

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

George Samenuk said: "I will express my opinion first. I don't agree with expanding the stock and financing now!"

Suddenly, several shareholders and shareholder representatives nodded and agreed.

"I object!"

At this moment, Sfink, a shareholder with a 5.1% stake, stood up.

"Everyone, the Internet market is so good now, and McAfee's stock price is also rising steadily. It is a good time to officially expand its scale. How can we miss this opportunity?" Sphinkron said.

"Farting~"

A shareholder with a bad temper immediately shouted: "Sphink, don't think I don't know your little abacus. What do you want to do? Are you just Microsoft's dog legs, treating us all like fools!"

Another shareholder echoed: "Microsoft wants McAfee's controlling stake, why do you do that?"

"Rude!" Sphink's face looked ugly.

Microsoft wants to occupy the nest, and everyone knows it.

Many people cursed Sphink, of course, Sinkels, the representative of Microsoft, also joined the battlefield.

The entire conference room was extremely noisy.

At this moment, Zhu Ke was stunned.

This is the first time that Zhu Ke has participated in McAfee's shareholders' meeting. He never expected that the internal conflicts of the board of directors would intensify so much. Well, they are all on the surface and are not concealed at all.

Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone!

"Ahem~"

Chairman George Samuuk looked ugly and shouted: "Everyone is quiet, rest for half an hour, let's discuss it."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk ~ It's really wonderful." Zhu Ke kept joking.

Everything is because of interests!

In 1997, when Zucker just bought a stake in McAfee, McAfee's overall market price was less than $50 million.

But what about now?

——$300 million!

In just two years, McAfee stood out from a number of antivirus software companies with a valuation of up to US$300 million.

Moreover, the height that McAfee, which has been recognized by the market, can reach in the future make many people optimistic about it.

A valuation of $1 billion is definitely not McAfee’s limit!

In fact, Zhuke wants to say: "Just kidding, as the world's second largest antivirus software provider in the future, McAfee's value can be measured more than just $1 billion?"

Microsoft is an industry that wants to be mixed with it, so they will naturally not let McAfee go.

The remaining shareholders, including Chairman George Samenuk, are naturally unwilling to sit idly by and watch Microsoft Holdings McAfee.

Therefore, Zhuke's 15% stake is a bit intriguing.

.........

During rest.

Chairman George Samenuk personally won over Juke.

"Mr. Wald, you don't want Microsoft to dilute your shares. Therefore, we are on the same front and we must not expand our shares at this stage to make Microsoft's conspiracy come true." George Samenuk said in a deep voice.

"What you said makes sense." Zhuke nodded heavily.

Not long.

Microsoft's representative Hinkels also came to win over Juke.

"Zhuke, we are old friends. Give me a correct word. What do you think about stock expansion?" Hinkels asked with a smile.

Zhuke spread his hands and said blankly: "I have no opinion!"

Hinkels: "......"

Damn, is this pretending to be confused?
