Chapter 3126 Sliding to the abyss

Paul Allen agrees to join 'Second World'.

"I think this news will definitely shock the world when it is announced tomorrow!" Lin Feng smiled.

Paul Allen laughed. Thinking of Bill Gates's surprised eyes, he was full of expectations. Although the two had started a business together, their relationship had long since broken down. He was very happy to make Bill Gates suffer.

"By the way, tomorrow is the last day for you to bet against Microsoft. The current stock price of Microsoft is close to 29 US dollars. If the stock price does not fall sharply before the end of tomorrow, you will lose 1 billion US dollars. Although this

Money is nothing to you. But you lost this bet!" Paul Allen said.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Don't worry, we can solve the battle in one day tomorrow! Especially, with your joining, Mr. Allen, I believe you will be the most lethal weapon to directly defeat the stock price of 'Microsoft'. It is only for the 5% of the stock price you hold.

"Microsoft's stock is also a blow." Lin Feng said with a headache.

The current share price of Microsoft is US$28.8, with a total market value of approximately US$239.9 billion. Paul Allen holds 5% of the 'Microsoft' shares, with a market value of approximately US$11.905 billion. If it falls below US$18, Paul Allen's losses will be as high as US$4.4 billion.

.This loss is a bit big.

"Haha, it's normal for stock prices to go up and down. What's more, I own 5% of Microsoft's stock and I have never planned to sell it. Even if the stock price is not worth a dime, I will not sell it.

Dropped." Paul Allen laughed and shook his head.

Lin Feng let out a long breath. Since Paul Allen doesn't care, that's fine.

"Then Mr. Allen, please rest first. Please attend the press conference together tomorrow." Lin Feng stood up and left.

"Mr. Lin, let's meet tomorrow. I believe tomorrow will be a very exciting day!" Paul Allen saw Lin Feng off with great anticipation.

the next day.

March 5th. This was an ordinary day, but it became an extraordinary day because of Lin Feng's bet with 'Microsoft'. In the past few days, Lin Feng has not taken any countermeasures against 'Microsoft''s behavior.

It can even be said that Lin Feng barely resisted. No one knows what Lin Feng is thinking, and whether he still wants to win. If Lin Feng wants to win, then he must take action today.

Therefore, all reporters have been squatting in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel since early morning, waiting for Lin Feng's figure.

"Is there any movement from Lin Feng?" Ballmer clasped his hands and stared at the homepages of major portal websites, searching for Lin Feng.

"President, there is currently no movement from Lin Feng. He has been staying at the Hilton Hotel." the secretary replied.

Ballmer frowned. What exactly does Lin Feng want to do? What does he want to do?

He will definitely take action, absolutely!

"Keep an eye on him and notify me immediately if there is any news!" Ballmer ordered.

At this time, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning. Lin Feng had already finished dressing. After eating breakfast and waiting for the Nasdaq to open, Lin Feng came to the lobby of the Hilton Hotel.

Seeing Lin Feng appear, many reporters immediately gathered around him.

"Journalists, please don't be anxious. I will hold a press conference, so please don't be anxious. Today, you will write something. I promise!" Lin Feng smiled slightly and stopped many reporters from surrounding him.

Many reporters laughed immediately. With Lin Feng's guarantee, they didn't have to be packed like steamed dumplings, so they could go directly to the press conference hall to wait. There was a special press conference on the first floor of the Hilton Hotel, although it was not

It's not big, but it can accommodate hundreds of people. There is no problem at all for all these reporters here.

Of course, compared to the importance of today and the eye-catching appeal of Lin Feng, a topical figure, this press conference hall is not enough. There is a statistical law in the industry, that is, if Lin Feng holds a normal press conference,

Then there must be at least a press conference hall that can accommodate 500 people. If Lin Feng holds a press conference during abnormal periods, then there must be at least a press conference hall with 2,000 people. And in case of a particularly major event, Lin Feng will hold a press conference.

For press conferences, it is best to go to the square. Otherwise, no matter how big the press conference hall is, it will not be enough.

Today, the press conference hall, which can hold about 300 people, has been overcrowded. And reporters are still coming. Crazy reporters, through various channels, tried their best to get the news that Lin Feng wanted to hold a press conference.

All efforts are being made to come at full speed.

To be honest, they were rushing and cursing at the same time. Others would give advance notice when holding a press conference. But Lin Feng gave short notice. Isn't this a hassle? If I had known this, I wouldn't have thought of interviewing Microsoft today.

Instead, he just squatted here, waiting for Lin Feng's desperate counterattack.

Hurry up and hurry up. When most reporters arrived, the press conference hall was already blocked. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, and there was a huge crowd. Many reporters who arrived late looked helpless. But fortunately, for this

The press conference was broadcast live on monitors in the lobby outside the press hall. Therefore, many reporters could still know what Lin Feng was talking about. The only inconvenience was that they could not ask questions.

On March 5, at 9:30 in the morning, Lin Feng arrived at the press conference room on time. Don't look at the press conference room, it was so crowded that when Lin Feng came, all the reporters instinctively made way for Lin Feng.

"Thank you very much. Many journalists and friends came to support me. Even at short notice, so many people came. Thank you!" Lin Feng clasped his fists.

Many reporters had their cameras, paper and pens ready, ready to record every sentence and word Lin Feng was about to say.

"Today is a good day. As everyone knows, it is the option trading day when I shorted 100 million shares of Microsoft. And the current stock price of Microsoft, hehe, the stock price has just opened over 29 US dollars. It seems that some people are eager for me.

Compensate more. But whether I will lose money or not, I won’t know until the end." Lin Feng chuckled, "First of all, I am here to expose a lie!"

Everyone was stunned. Lie, what lie?

"Mr. Ballmer said that 'vista' is the most popular operating system in history. I absolutely do not agree with this. This argument is a huge lie." Lin Feng pointed the finger at the first sentence.

Ballmer, and his words were so sharp, which made many reporters who came here very satisfied. The reason why they praised Lin Feng so much, even if they did not agree with him, was because Lin Feng dared to

Let's blast! This is something that other super rich people don't have. Generally speaking, most of the rich people are very cautious and speak as if they are a press statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The people who listen are not interested at all. But Lin Feng is so heart-wrenching.

Exciting.

"Everyone, why do I say that Ballmer is lying? Because the sales volume of 'Vista' is indeed the first in history. But that is just the sales volume. Of course, this has to put aside my 'Pangu System', the 'Vista' system

It ranks first in sales in the paid rankings, but it is by no means the most successful operating system in history. Why do you say that?" Lin Feng shrugged, "Everyone ignores one thing when counting sales and writing titles, that is, the release of XP

Global computer sales figures for one year when Shihe Vista was released." Lin Feng smiled slightly.

"When XP was released, on October 25, 2001, five years ago, the annual computer sales at that time were 47 million units. But now, the global computer sales volume per year is 120 million units. This number is close to

It has doubled, but the sales volume of Vista is less than twice as high as that of

I have a lot of money on my face!" Lin Feng said loudly.

If you can't eat the grapes, you say the grapes are sour! When Ballmer heard this, he slammed the table in anger.

Many pro-Microsoft reporters at the scene thought the same thing. However, they wanted to refute Lin Feng, but they had no way to refute it. Because what Lin Feng said was indeed true. In terms of market share, the Vista system is indeed not as good as XP.

system.

At this time, Lin Feng took out a remote control and pressed the button on the remote control.

"Haha, I almost forgot to open this." Lin Feng smiled slightly, and the fluctuations of the Nasdaq stock price index appeared on the big screen next to him. On the individual stock display, it was the stock price of 'Microsoft'.

"Today, I invite all reporters to accompany me and wait for this moment to witness the miracle!" Lin Feng chuckled.

Many reporters looked at each other and looked at each other with astonishment in their hearts. Lin Feng was too confident. He was actually sure that Microsoft's stock price would fall today. This was too confident. If he gathered

With so many reporters accompanying him to witness the miracle, if Microsoft's stock price did not fall, he would be embarrassed.

Does he have absolute certainty? Where does his certainty come from? Many reporters speculated, but to no avail.

"Too arrogant!" Ballmer slammed his fist in the office.

Lin Feng, I want to see how our stock price fell today! Ballmer roared.

At this time, the stock price of Microsoft, which had been rising slowly, suddenly jumped, from the original price of 29.3 US dollars, to 29.1 US dollars. In the next few minutes, it has been hovering between 29.05-29.1 US dollars. Obviously, this is because

Lin Feng's previous statement that "Vista" is not the most successful operating system in Microsoft's history has caused interference to Microsoft's stock price. Otherwise, Microsoft's stock price would not fluctuate like this.

But just like that, you, Lin Feng, want to kill Microsoft, which is a big mistake. Let me see what other tricks you have! Ballmer stared at the screen of the live press conference.

At this time, Lin Feng smiled again.

"Everyone, I want to announce the second thing here." Lin Feng looked at the many reporters.

Many reporters looked at Lin Feng expectantly and then looked at the stock price, wanting to see what Lin Feng could do to bring down the stock price of Microsoft.

"The second point is that Kingsoft Software Company from China will launch WPS office software based on 'Pangu Edition'. This office software will be completely free and can be downloaded freely by all users. Although its functions are not as good as those of Microsoft Office

The series is comprehensive, but it is more than enough for most office applications. Of course, the most important thing is that it is absolutely free and does not cost you a penny. It also has 43 language versions. I believe that most countries on the earth can use it freely." Lin

Feng Xiaoxiao said, "So, starting from today, the 'Pangu System' is no longer a software that cannot do office work and can only play games. Another point is that the wps software will be able to freely convert files in various office software formats and perfectly

Converted to wps format. So, after installation, you don’t have to worry about the previous office files being unusable."

Hey! Many reporters were surprised. If this is the case, the launch of WPS office software will indeed attract many users to use the 'Pangu System'. After all, most users' own needs for computers are gaming and entertainment, and occasionally playing

Word processing, that's all. Previously, there was no office software in the 'Pangu System', but now that it does, users will naturally try it. If it works well, I believe many users will no longer suffer from the pain of constantly changing systems.

Many reporters quickly looked at the Nasdaq stock price. Of course, it would take a little time for Lin Feng's announcement to reach Nasdaq. Therefore, after waiting for a few minutes, the Nasdaq stock price began to

Fluctuations occur.

The stock price of Microsoft fell directly from US$29.08 to US$27, and was still falling. At this time, Lam Feng still lost US$900 million.

Fuck, we can't let him play like this anymore! Ballmer said angrily. He had a headache because he played the cards all at once, leaving him with no way to deal with Lin Feng's tricks. But as the president of Microsoft, he still has a bit of trouble

Capable.

Ballmer immediately issued a declaration, claiming that he would review the WPS software to see if it was suspected of infringing the Office software. Once the WPS software infringed the Office software, Microsoft would sue it unceremoniously.

Because of Ballmer's declaration, Microsoft's stock price stabilized and stopped falling. Many American reporters breathed a long sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Microsoft's stock price would slide all the way. In that case, Lin

Feng saw the joke. No matter what, they are all Americans after all, so they naturally support 'Microsoft'.

Lin Feng looked at the stable stock price of 'Microsoft' and smiled. From Lin Feng's heart, he did not expect that the stock price of 'Microsoft' would be so strong. Apparently 'Vista' still gave many investors confidence. Unfortunately, today's 'Microsoft' stock price

'The stock price is destined to plummet! When Paul Allen agreed to join the 'Second World', the fate of 'Microsoft' stock price was doomed!

But now, don’t rush, just take your time! Lin Feng wants Ballmer to watch the stock price of Microsoft slide into the abyss. (To be continued...)
