Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 828 Successfully invested in Microsoft

   In this case, Michael Ovitz naturally knows how to choose, which is the most correct one.

   Kelly has learned a lot in CAA during this time. It is much better than when she was only a small secretary before, but she is a little tired on weekdays.

   However, this hard work is nothing to her, and the fullness of life makes her enjoy everything now.

   "By the way, Boss, Mr. Michael Ovitz knew that you came to the United States this time, and he specifically asked me to say hello to you. At the same time, he also asked me to tell the boss that you must visit CAA when you have time.

   Mr. Michael Ovitz said, Boss, as a major shareholder of the company, you should let everyone meet. CAA is developing very fast now, and several top Hollywood stars have joined in a few years ago..."

   To be honest, not only did Michael Ovitz want Yang Chen to visit the CAA company, but Kelly also really hoped that Yang Chen could visit CAA.

   After all, this is related to Yang Chen's attitude towards CAA company, whether he attaches importance to CAA company.

  If Yang Chen attaches importance to CAA company, then it doesn't need to say more, her director can also rise with the tide.

   But if Yang Chen doesn't pay attention to it and doesn't care about CAA, then her director will be useless, and her status will be greatly affected.

  Yang Chen nodded and said: "You also help me say hello to Mr. Michael Ovitz, and tell him that I will make time to go to Los Angeles after I've been busy for this period of time..."

  Although Yang Chen is not so interested in celebrities such as Hollywood stars, singers, directors, etc., but aiming at the future development potential of CAA company, Yang Chen will never ignore its existence.

  The media will have a huge impact on the public in the next 21st century. The power of public opinion and the influence of star artists will be huge in all parts of the world.

  Especially in European and American countries, the people generally like to oppose the government. On the Internet, from the president to the general public, big guys are holding keyboards, and they really dare to say anything.

   Michael Ovitz, the future media giant, Yang Chen will naturally not ignore his invitation, nor will he miss the opportunity to exert personal influence within CAA.

  People from European and American countries, no matter which country you are from, hold the nationality of that country, as long as you are rich and a super rich, then everyone will rush to curry favor with you.

  Money comes first, people in capitalist countries, it's that simple.

   As for American stars, Yang Chen doesn't really say his names, but he is more of a few top sports stars and less movie stars, because he doesn't like watching American movies very much.

   However, to be able to enjoy being held by a group of Hollywood stars, Yang Chen felt that it must be very refreshing, so he was willing to try it.

Taking a sip of tea, after Kaili got a satisfactory answer and was smiling gleefully, Yang Chen put his eyes on Shen Xu and asked with a faint smile, "Shen Xu, I heard that Microsoft accepts our offer. invested?"

Shen Xu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, boss, Mr. Paul from Microsoft was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma last year. In order to treat the disease, he offered 20 million of his 20% shares of Microsoft. US dollars for sale.

  Because the previous boss, you specifically explained that as long as you can invest in Microsoft, you must win it as soon as possible, so in mid-December, after Mr. Paul and Mr. Gates of Microsoft discussed, they accepted our investment..."

  Hodgkin lymphoma is a unique type of lymphoma and one of the most common malignancies in young adults.

  The disease initially occurs in a group of lymph nodes, most commonly cervical lymph nodes and supraclavicular lymph nodes, and then spreads to other lymph nodes. In the advanced stage, blood vessels can be invaded, involving the spleen, liver, bone marrow, and digestive tract.

  Hodgkin's lymphoma is not a serious disease in later generations, as long as timely and effective treatment is taken, it can be cured without even relapse.

  Although the medical care in the United States cannot be compared with that of a few decades later, it is not a big problem to treat this disease.

The only problem    is medical expenses.

  In the United States, medical expenses have always been a nightmare for many American families. Even if it is a small illness, its high medical expenses are unbearable for many Americans.

   Later According to statistics, more than half of the bankrupt people in the United States went bankrupt because they could not afford the high medical costs.

  Although Paul is the second largest shareholder of Microsoft, second only to Gates, but Microsoft has just entered the right track during this period, and it needs to spend money everywhere, and the company has not yet gone public.

   The so-called shares are actually just a piece of paper, which can be seen or not spent.

At this time, Gates and Paul are like Boss Ma who just founded Alibaba. Although many outsiders are optimistic about the potential of Microsoft, the worth and wealth of Paul and Gates are only numerical valuations, not hold real wealth.

   It is for this reason that Paul sold his company shares after he fell ill.

   Honestly, 20% of the shares, based on 20 million US dollars, Microsoft's market value is relatively high based on the current estimates of it.

  Because of this, Microsoft's market value has reached 100 million US dollars.

The reason why Gates and Paul are willing to sell Microsoft shares to Yang Chen is because Shen Xu is willing to spend so much money to buy 20% of his shares, which directly increases Microsoft's market value. For them, it is very beneficial to the Microsoft Xie family.

   Another one is the influence Yang Chen has now.

  As the richest man in China, or the richest man in the entire Asian region, in the evil society of money, even in the United States, Yang Chen has countless admirers.

   Being able to get Yang Chen's investment is very helpful for Microsoft's publicity.

   In addition, the other is that Shen Xu has obtained the status of director of IBM, and Shen Xu's connection will help promote the next cooperation between the two companies.

  Compared with IBM, an American giant, Microsoft, which has just started, is really not enough.

   Since the 1950s, IBM has become the main contractor for the computer development of the US Air Force's automatic defense system, and IBM has entered a period of rapid development since then.

   In 1975, when Microsoft was first established, IBM produced four times as many computers as all the computer manufacturers in the rest of the world combined.

   At this time, IBM had already become a joint enterprise integrating scientific research, production, sales, technical services and education and training.

   Since IBM launched the world's first personal computer, the era of personal computers has officially begun, and the emerging market of personal computers has also been born in the United States.
