Shen Dong said: "Mr. Michael, confidence is very important. If you want to buy it, I can sell it to you at a price 1.2 times higher than the market price."
Michael said, “Thank you.”
After dealing with this monster stock, Shen Dong set his sights on Microsoft.
Microsoft had just been listed for less than a year and its stock price had increased several times, but then it suffered a stock market crash and its stock price instantly returned to its original state.
Microsoft's current market value is 1.6 billion US dollars. Song Zihao only spent more than 100 million US dollars to buy 6% of Microsoft's shares, which is incredibly cheap.
You know, before Shen Dong traveled through time, Microsoft's market value had exceeded 2 trillion US dollars.
Shen Dong was not satisfied with just 6% of the shares in such a huge treasure trove.
Unfortunately, Microsoft's circulating shares are scarce and have been sold out in the market. Shen Dong can only buy them from shareholders. Therefore, he decides to go to Redmond in person to have a good chat with Bill Weasley, the future richest man in the world.
Bill Weasley holds 67% of Microsoft Group's shares, and Shen Dong's goal is to buy 15% of the shares from him.
Upon learning that Shen Dong was going to Redmond, Washington, Li Xinxin and Qiu Ti strongly requested to go with him.
Redmond is very close to Washington and Seattle. After settling on Microsoft, Shen Dong can take the two girls for a tour there, which can be said to be a combination of work and travel.
That night, Shen Dong and everyone else flew to Redmond Airport.
The two cities were 4,600 kilometers apart, and it took a full night of flying to reach the destination.
After checking in at a five-star luxury hotel, Shen Dong drove directly to the Microsoft Group headquarters in the luxury car provided by the hotel.
"Hello. My name is Dong Shen, and I want to see Mr. Weasley." Dong Shen said to the receptionist at Microsoft.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, but I own 6% of Microsoft Group's shares, which makes me the third largest shareholder of Microsoft."
The receptionist's face changed, and she said quickly: "Please wait a moment, I need to make a call."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Please go ahead."
Five minutes later, Shen Dong took the elevator to the sixteenth floor.
Led by Bill Weasley's secretary, he walked into his office.
Bill Weasley's office is very simple. There is nothing else except a desk, a sofa and a bookshelf full of various computer books.
"During this period, all of Microsoft Group's outstanding shares were bought up by a mysterious buyer. We originally thought it was done by a Wall Street institution, but we didn't expect it to be an Asian customer. Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm Bill."
Just like in his previous life, Bill Weasley had a very gentle temperament, clear and deep eyes, and did not have the airs of a company boss at all.
Shen Dong shook hands with him and said with a smile: "I believe that Microsoft Group will change the world in the near future, so I bought all the outstanding shares of your company on the market. I am very sorry for the trouble I have caused you."
Chapter 384 Death of Jiang Tianyang
Bill Weasley asked Shen Dong to sit down, made him a cup of coffee, and said, "Mr. Shen, you seem to be very optimistic about the future development of our Microsoft Group."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right. The future is an era of technology, the Internet, and artificial intelligence. I believe Microsoft Group will become a leader among them. I came here this time mainly in the hope of getting an opportunity to invest in your company."
Bill Weasley said, "You already own 6% of the shares. Isn't that enough?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I am a greedy person. Six percent is too low."
Bill Weasley said, "I'm sorry, I may disappoint you. So far, I have no intention of selling Microsoft stock."
Despite having just experienced a stock market crash, Microsoft is not short of money. It still has 1.5 million US dollars in its account, which is enough to support the company's future development.
Bill Weasley is a technical guy and doesn't want Microsoft's board of directors to be in chaos.
Therefore, he must ensure that he has absolute power in Microsoft.
Shen Dong said: "Can you listen to the conditions I offer?"
Bill Weasley shook his head and said, "No matter how good the conditions are, I won't agree to them."
Shen Dong directly revealed his trump card and said, "If I only want the right to dividends, not the right to management, and fully support all the decisions you make, would you agree?"
Bill Weasley raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "I am from Hong Kong Island and I know nothing about computer software development. To be frank, the reason I invested in Microsoft is to make money. Mr. Weasley, in addition to the right to dividends, I can ask you to be my spokesperson. In other words, even if you sell me all the shares, you can still fully control the Microsoft Group. This can be written in the contract."
Seeing that Bill Weasley was interested, Shen Dong continued to increase the stakes and said, "In addition, in order to speed up the development of the Windows system and various software, I can provide Microsoft with a 1 billion US dollar interest-free loan for five years."
Bill Weasley asked, "How many shares do you want to buy?"
Shen Dong said: "The more the better."
Bill Weasley said, "I can sell you at most 16% of the shares."
Shen Dong knew that Bill Weasley wanted to ensure that he had more than 50% of the controlling stake, so he smiled and said, "No problem. But I also have a condition."
Bill Weasley asked, "What are the conditions?"
Shen Dong said, "If there is financing in the future, I will have priority. As for the management rights of the company, you don't need to worry about anything. Even if I own 90% of Microsoft's shares, you will still be the actual manager of Microsoft. Because I know very well that Microsoft can do without me or anyone else, but not without you, Mr. Weasley."
Bill Weasley was very touched and said, "Thank you for your recognition of me."
Shen Dong said: "I also thank you for giving me a chance to make a lot of money in the future."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Bill Weasley invited Shen Dong to dinner at McDonald's.
That's right, at McDonald's.
Seeing the future richest man in the world eating the hamburger with relish, Shen Dong was really speechless.
In his previous life, the media reported that Bill Weasley ate McDonald's three times a week, and Shen Dong thought it was fake.
But now it seems that it might be true.
The two of them were eating and chatting.
Shen Dong talked about the impact that the future development of the Internet and technology would have on people's lives, which shocked Bill Weasley and made him admire Shen Dong's imagination.
After chatting for three hours, the two left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
The next day, Shen Dong signed a contract with Bill Weasley.
Shen Dong used US$2.88 million to purchase % of Microsoft Group's shares, which was equivalent to a % premium.
At the same time, it provided Microsoft Corporation with an interest-free loan of one billion US dollars.
After settling on Microsoft, Shen Dong took his two girlfriends to travel around Seattle and Washington.
......
Haojiang River thousands of miles away
Jiang Tianyang left the villa of gambling king Stanley Ho with a sense of satisfaction.
It turned out that there was a split within the San Lian Gang. Lei Fuhong and Ding Yao were fighting for the position of leader, which caused the casino business in Haojing to go from bad to worse.
After checking the casino revenue last month, Ho Hung-shing was very dissatisfied with the management of the Tri-Union Gang.
So, He Hongsheng invited Jiang Tianyang and wanted to transfer all the management rights of the Sanlian Gang to him, on the condition that he gave up 5% of the profits.
Jiang Tianyang agreed without hesitation.
Inside the car, Chen Yao saw that Jiang Tianyang was in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, what did Mr. He want to see you about?"
Jiang Tianyang handed a statement to Chen Yao and said, "Read it yourself."
Chen Yao took a look and exclaimed, "This is the transfer statement of casino management rights issued by Mr. He himself. Mr. Jiang, what does Mr. He mean?"
Jiang Tianyang explained: "The Sanlian Gang was busy fighting among themselves in Taiwan and was somewhat lax in the management of the Haojiang Casino, which caused strong dissatisfaction among Mr. He. However, our Hongxing managed the casino very well and gave him a perfect answer last month, so Mr. He planned to hand over the management of the Sanlian Gang's casino to us."
Chen Yao said: "I see. But the Sanlian Gang may not be willing to give it up."
Jiang Tianyang said coldly: "With the support of Mr. He, we have a moral foothold. If the Sanlian Gang is unwilling to accept this, then we will beat them out. A Yao, let Anan, Taizi and Han Bin bring their weapons and take over the Sanlian Gang's casino tonight."
Chen Yao nodded and said, "I understand."
That night, a fierce battle broke out between the Hung Hing Gang and the San Lian Gang.
The end result was that the San Lian Gang was defeated and gave up all their territories.
Hung Hing suddenly became the most powerful society in Macau, managing the largest number of casinos.
At noon the next day, Jiang Tianyang invited Chen Haonan, Han Bin and other brothers to dinner at the most famous hotel in Haojiang.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, Jiang Tianyang came out of the hotel with the help of Chen Yao.
Just as he was about to get into the car, a bullet came from an unknown direction and hit Jiang Tianyang right between the eyebrows.
"There are snipers."
Chen Haonan and others sobered up instantly and quickly pulled Jiang Tianyang away to hide.
Xiaozhuang, who was far away, put away his sniper rifle and left in a leisurely manner after confirming that Jiang Tianyang was dead.
Looking at Jiang Tianyang's body, Chen Haonan, the prince and Han Bin's faces became extremely ugly.
The prince said viciously: "Damn it, the murderer must be from the Sanlian Gang assassination team."
Han Bin agreed: "It's possible."
Chen Haonan said: "In addition to the Sanlian Gang, I also suspect it is Shen Dong."
Han Bin said, "It shouldn't be him. First of all, we have already made peace. Secondly, Shen Dong has been away from Hong Kong Island for almost half a month. Killing Mr. Jiang will not benefit him at all. There is really no need for it."
Chen Haonan was silent for a moment, and said, "Maybe he is playing a trick of pretending to build a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang."
The prince said sternly: "Investigate, even if we have to turn Hong Kong Island upside down, we must find the murderer."
Chapter 385: Earning $182 Billion
The assassination attempt on Jiang Tianyang caused a huge uproar in the Hong Kong underworld.
Since Jiang Tianyang took the position of the leader of Hongxing, except for the time he suffered a loss in front of Shen Dong, he has performed very well at other times.
Under his leadership, most of Hongxing's businesses were back on track.
Especially in Haojing, not only did they regain the management rights of the casino, but their territory also more than doubled than before.
No one expected that Jiang Tianyang would die so suddenly at this critical juncture.
"Adong, Mr. Jiang is dead." Han Bin called Shen Dong.
Shen Dong said in a deep voice: "I just learned the news from Ah Hua. Brother Bing, who did it?"
Han Bin said: "Some people suspect the Sanlian Gang, and some people suspect it's you."
Shen Dong cursed: "Damn, which bastard is throwing dirty water on my head?"
Han Bin said: "It was me, the bastard, who suspected you."
Shen Dong paused, then smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Bin, I can assure you that this matter has nothing to do with me. If Jiang Tianyang dies, it will only do me harm, not good."
Han Bin sighed and said, "I hope it's not you. We will hold a memorial service for Mr. Jiang tomorrow. Can you come?"
Shen Dong said: "I will ask Ah Hua to pay respects on my behalf. By the way, Mr. Jiang is dead, who will be the next leader of Hongxing? Will it be Jiang Tiansheng?"
Han Bin said, "How is that possible? The prince, the thirteenth sister, the dinosaur and I are planning to push Anan to the top. He is the deputy leader of Hongxing, so it is legitimate for him to take the top position."
Shen Dong said: "You'd better remind Chen Haonan to be careful of Jiang Tiansheng. If Jiang Tianyang dies, maybe Jiang Tiansheng will return to Hong Kong tomorrow to compete for the position of leader."
Han Bin said: "He has offended the government and so many wealthy businessmen. We can't let him take the position."
After finishing the conversation with Han Bin, Shen Dong snapped his fingers and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xiaozhuang did a great job this time.
Shen Dong’s guess was correct.
At Jiang Tianyang's memorial service, Jiang Tiansheng, who had been living in seclusion in the Netherlands, rushed over and presided over his younger brother's funeral as the eldest brother.
Looking at Jiang Tiansheng, who looked very sad, Thirteenth Sister whispered, "He was the one who caused Jiang Tianyang's death, wasn't he?"
Han Bin's heart moved, and he said, "That shouldn't be the case, right? He is his biological brother."
Thirteenth sister said disdainfully: "My dear brother used a trick to force my dear brother to go to the Netherlands. If it were you, would you not bear a grudge?"
Han Bin said: "That's true."
After Jiang Tianyang's funeral, all the leaders of Hongxing gathered together to discuss the selection of the future leader.
Dayu directly recommended Jiang Tiansheng, but was rejected by Han Bin and Shisanmei.
