"Lin, Microsoft admits that they were fooled!" Ellison said in a deep voice.

Lin Feng nodded slowly. For Microsoft to hold a press conference to admit that he had been tricked, this was something Lin Feng had not expected. Lin Feng had studied Ballmer. He came from a sales background and was a natural leader.

Since college, he has focused all his energy on studying, joining various extracurricular activities, and working hard to become a manager. At Harvard, he became the manager of the school's football team at that time.

Of course, although Ballmer puts most of his energy outside the classroom, it definitely does not mean that Ballmer’s academic performance is not good. There has always been a rumor in China, and it has attracted much attention from college students, as well as some who have not studied much.

Rumors admired by rich people - Bill Gates became the richest man in the world without graduating from college. Steve Jobs founded Apple, the greatest technological innovation company of this century, without graduating from college. Therefore, the real super rich are all college students.

Can't graduate.

This rumor is true to a certain extent, but there are also misunderstandings. The biggest misunderstanding is that although people like Bill Gates, Jobs (and Ellison) did not graduate from college, their

The results were among the best of that era.

For example, Ballmer got a perfect score on the SAT (American College Entrance Examination). Yes, a perfect score. Of course, Ballmer received a bachelor's degree in mathematics and economics from Harvard and an MBA from Stanford Business School. The reason why

Ballmer’s academic performance is mentioned here because he was in the same grade as Bill Gates at the time, and the two of them lived in the same dormitory. There was a game between the two. That is, neither of them usually went to class, and they would try their best to

The students' time in class is compressed to the shortest time, and then one week before the exam, the two of them study hard and then compare their scores.

This week, the two of them studied almost all night long. As for the test scores, both of them got A's without exception, all of them were A's. They were the only geniuses at Harvard who didn't take classes at that time, but could get A's in every subject.

Therefore, whether it is Bill Gates or Steve Jobs, although they have not graduated from college, their academic performance is not bad, and they have truly learned the most important knowledge in life in college.

Therefore, although these super-rich people have not graduated from college, they have learned the most important knowledge that can change their lives. As for not graduating, it is because the knowledge they have mastered is enough for them to use in their entire life. Therefore, they

There is no need to stay in college and continue to waste their youth. Therefore, college is not useless, but it depends on how you use it to learn knowledge. A life without college is a pity.

"What now?" Ellison asked quietly.

"Let's take a look first! Let's see what they plan to do!" Lin Feng said while holding his chin.

Ballmer is a person who assesses the situation very well and knows how to be forbearing. This time he publicly pointed out that "Microsoft" was hurt, which means that something happened to "Microsoft" and gave Ballmer the confidence to disclose it.

Something that embarrasses 'Microsoft'.

"Regarding this scam, since we have signed the contract in black and white, our company can only accept this contract and accept this false contract. But here, I want to strongly condemn Mr. Qiu Deba's fraudulent behavior. Of course

, I know that the transaction between Mr. Qiu Deba and us was largely not his original intention. I believe that there were instructions from others behind it. Here, I want to strongly condemn the person behind this, and I want to

Tell this person - fraud is always just fraud. If a businessman can only rely on fraud to do business, then what awaits him in the end is not fame but a dark prison." Ballmer said coldly.

Curse! This is the most vicious curse! And all reporters know who Ballmer is cursing. He is cursing the hottest and most influential super business genius today - Lin Feng.

But is this curse useful? Regardless of whether this contract is a fraud, since Microsoft has admitted it and can't find evidence to accuse Lin Feng, why is he admitting this at this moment? You know, as a listed company

, take the initiative to admit this kind of mistake, no matter what your attitude is, no matter what the whole story is, you have lost 1.05 billion US dollars, which will have a direct impact on the stock price. Before this, 'Microsoft' acquired 'nvidi', causing the stock price to rise by 1.5%.

How much will it fall this time?

Nasdaq gave everyone the answer. Microsoft's stock price plummeted 7%! Moreover, the stock price continues to fall. The market expects that Microsoft's stock price may drop due to this "fake acquisition" scandal.

A drop of more than 10%. Based on the current market value of Microsoft, 10% is equivalent to US$24.7 billion. And the market believes that if Pangu System continues to rise, then Microsoft's stock price will continue to plummet.

According to Wall Street analysis, if the 'Pangu System' is really accepted by the public and occupies 30% of the market share, then the stock price of 'Microsoft' will fall by at least 20%! And 'Microsoft' will not change the current situation if it does not change

, this decline will continue. The world's number one software company is likely to be in trouble because of this.

After all, although 'Microsoft' has many products, there are only two that really make money: the operating system and office software. And the office software is also part of the operating system. Once the operating system is attacked, 'Microsoft' will lose

If it loses its dominant position, then 'Microsoft' will really encounter an unprecedented crisis.

Therefore, 'Microsoft' must come up with countermeasures. Countermeasures against 'Pangu System'. We must not pin all our hopes on cracking 'nvidia' graphics card driver like now. What countermeasures will 'Microsoft' have? All reporters

Looking forward to it.

"Here, in addition to condemning this man behind the scenes, we also want to announce three things." Ballmer said quietly.

Three things? Which three things? Can they change the current impasse of 'Microsoft'?

"The first thing we want to announce is that Mr. Bill Gates will withdraw from the daily operations of the company, will no longer be involved in any daily affairs of the company, and will resign as chief software architect. However, Mr. Bill Gates will continue to serve as

Chairman of the company, and assisting Mr. Steven Sinofsky in software research and development," Ballmer announced.

What! This first news was like a bombshell, exploding in the hearts of all reporters, and everyone stood up on the spot.

Bill Gates no longer interferes in any daily affairs of the company. Isn't this the same as retirement? Why is this? At such an important juncture of 'Microsoft', and when 'Microsoft' encountered the challenge of Lin Feng, Bill Gates retired.

Why is this?

This news directly caused the stock price of "Microsoft" to fall by another 3%. Counting the previous ones, the stock price of "Microsoft" has plummeted by 10% in just ten minutes today.

"Everyone, I would like to explain here why I will no longer interfere in all the company's affairs. I will no longer interfere in the company's affairs because this time I have to be responsible for my own actions!" Bill Gates stood up.

Shen Sheng said, "This 'fake acquisition' incident has brought huge losses to the company, but this is not President Ballmer's fault, but mine!"

Lin Feng frowned and snorted softly.

"Gates is trying to protect Ballmer! What a smart move!" Lin Feng said coldly.

Ellison nodded. For Microsoft to be in its current position, in addition to Bill Gates, President Steve Ballmer is also a great contributor. Without Ballmer's leadership, Microsoft would not be able to achieve its current status.

It can't be so successful. If Ballmer takes all the blame this time, it will be difficult for investors to continue to have the same confidence in Microsoft if the company does not change its president. Especially after such a big incident, if there is no

If people are responsible, isn't that a joke! Then the credibility of 'Microsoft' will suffer a devastating blow.

Of course, this devastating blow was not caused by the US$1 billion, but because Microsoft acquired a shell company, an acquisition that was originally determined to win but had fatal flaws. This caused Microsoft to lose the blow.

Pangu System's Opportunities.

Therefore, someone must stand up and take on everything. Ballmer is the most suitable candidate. But if Ballmer leaves, who will lead Microsoft? This position is not suitable for anyone. And Bill Gates values ​​Ball.

If you don't have the talent of being silent, then you have to push someone to take the blame.

Ordinary executives are not qualified, and those who are qualified take the blame and suffer great losses to the company. Therefore, the most suitable candidate is Bill Gates, who has been semi-retired at Microsoft but has huge influence

The founder of the company. Moreover, his resignation will not only calm the turmoil of this "shell company", but also gain sympathy and point the finger at himself.

This is really a wonderful move! Lin Feng must admit that Bill Gates' sudden resignation was indeed unexpected and made him a little passive.

The stock price of Nasdaq sent a very powerful signal to Bill Gates' resignation. The stock price did not fall because of Bill Gates' resignation, but rose slightly.

"Everyone, although I am no longer the company's software architect, there is someone more suitable for this position than me. He is Mr. Steven Sinofsky, who I would like to introduce to you. He will replace me as Microsoft's chief executive.

He is the chief software architect, and I serve as deputy to assist him in all aspects!" Bill Gates introduced a somewhat bald middle-aged man next to him.

Many reporters have turned their attention to this man who has kept a low profile since he entered the scene. Who is he? What are his talents? (To be continued)
