Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 132 Thanks to Mr. Bill Gates

On Christmas Day 2009, many people in the American NBA were unhappy. Because in the past, their annual Christmas battles were able to attract tens of millions of users around the world to watch, and they watched in real time.

One can imagine how many people can benefit from it. TV stations, NBA, participating teams, stars playing, etc.

But this year's Christmas, not many people paid attention to the annual Christmas battle, because most people's eyes turned to Apple's press conference.

Coincidentally, Apple's press conference officially started at the same time as the NBA's Christmas game.

"I really doubt that you have any grudge against David Stern."

In the research institute of Jurassic Island, Teresa Roy smiled and joked with Wen Ming.

Wen Ming, who was once again tortured by a makeup artist, has learned to keep his face expressionless during makeup time.

"It can only be blamed on his bad luck, who made us just in time for Christmas?"

Ten minutes later, is Apple's second global conference, and at the same time, the NBA's Christmas game will also begin.

"And, this year's Christmas game, the most interesting thing should be the Cavaliers vs. Lakers. By then, our press conference should be over."

There is not only one Christmas war, in 2009 there were five Christmas wars.

Teresa Roy smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if you did it on purpose, because you have far surpassed the NBA in terms of capital. If you are interested in buying a team If so, I can introduce you."

Wen Ming was stunned for a moment: "Buy an NBA team?"

He used to like watching the NBA very much, and usually played basketball, but because of his physical fitness, his skills have not been very good. But he never thought about buying an NBA team, even if he is already rich now.

Teresa Roy said: "Yes, in fact, NBA teams are not too expensive. Among the owners of those NBA teams, except for the owners of the Nets and Trail Blazers who are worth more than 10 billion US dollars, the rest The entire net worth may not be as much as the net profit you earned in two quarters."

The owner of the Nets is a Russian tycoon, worth 3.2 billion US dollars, while the owner of the Blazers, Paul Allen, is Microsoft's largest individual shareholder besides Bill Gates, worth 4.2 billion US dollars. Ranked third is the boss of Magic, the founder of Amway, who is worth only 5 billion US dollars.

And Wen Ming's net profit in one quarter was 3 billion US dollars. Even if the net profit in the second quarter will be reduced due to the decline in sales, it will properly exceed the founder of Amway, who is also the owner of the Magic team.

What's more, this is only pure profit. If you count the value, Wen Ming's value is far inferior to that of all NBA team owners combined. Because Teresa Roy has already agreed with Apple's valuation of 40 billion US dollars, how much should Wen Ming, who owns more than 95% of Apple's shares, be worth?

Wen Ming sighed: "So I'm already so rich, but aren't they unwilling to sell the team?"

He is very interested in buying an NBA team, because the cross-species biogenetic engineering he is about to start can greatly improve human physical fitness.

if……

With the mentality of playing for a while, you can indeed buy one, and it doesn't cost much anyway.

Teresa Roy said with a smile: "There has never been a businessman who is unwilling to sell his assets. The only problem is whether the price is suitable or not."

Wen Ming nodded and said: "Then please contact me, it's time for me to invest in some other industries.

"

The press conference was approaching, Teresa Roy left the room, he was going to sit at the scene.

And Wen Ming has already finished her makeup, waiting for the host's opening remarks to end.

On Jurassic Island, today ushered in the most visited day in the history of the island. In addition to the researchers of the research institute, security personnel, and the construction team members who are carrying out various construction projects, there are more than 200 journalists , as well as the heads of some companies in the high-tech industry, and some experts in the academic circle of biotechnology.

The largest exhibition hall in the research institute has been arranged as a press conference site, and all the guests have already been seated.

When Teresa Roy reached her own position, she warmly greeted the person next to him.

His status and wealth determine that he may not be enthusiastic about many people, but for this one, he very much hopes to have a good relationship with the other party, because this person is currently the richest man in the world-Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.

Also sitting next to them was Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

The three of them are definitely the three most important people in this press conference. The reason why Bill Gates can come is not only Wen Ming's kind invitation, but also because he is really curious about those velociraptors.

The same is true for Mark Zuckerberg. After all, dinosaurs were extinct 65 million years ago, and no one can be uninterested in living dinosaurs. Of course, compared to Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg has more reasons to come, because Wen Ming seems to be a shareholder of Facebook, and is still a major shareholder with 2.4% of the shares.

"If you don't mind, Mr. Richest, after the press conference, we can go and see the Velociraptor alone."

Teresa Roy is much older than Bill Gates, but in the capital market, whoever has more money is the boss.

Bill Gates replied with a smile on his face: "Don't mention the word richest man again, your partner has already pulled me down from that position."

The news that Teresa Roy agrees with the valuation of 40 billion US dollars and that she wants to take a stake in Apple has not been announced to the outside world, but to the extent of Bill Gates, many unannounced news, they can be familiar with it.

Mark Zuckerberg was a little dazed listening, because he didn't know Teresa Roy's plan to buy a stake in Apple, and of course it was impossible to know about the valuation of 40 billion US dollars.

"Partners? Are you talking about... Wen Ming?"

Mark Zuckerberg asked directly. He and Bill Gates also have an intersection, because Microsoft is also a shareholder of Facebook. In 2007, Microsoft exchanged $240 million for Facebook at a valuation of $5 billion.6 % of shares.

Moreover, Microsoft later proposed to use 24 billion U.S. dollars to directly acquire Facebook. But this appeal was rejected by the wise Mark Zuckerberg.

Bill Gates and Teresa Roy smiled at each other and did not answer Mark Zuckerberg's question directly.

Teresa Roy said: "Let's save this issue until after the press conference is over."

As soon as the words were spoken, the host had already stepped onto the stage, and Apple's Christmas conference had officially begun.

After the opening remarks, Apple founder Wen Ming appeared on stage with his ipad.

"I should thank one of the guests present, because the premise of developing this product comes from a concept he once put forward, 'an all-round P based on the inds operating system'. Yes, the person I want to thank is Bill Mister Gates."

Wen Ming's words sparked applause at the scene, and Bill Gates, who was sitting in the audience, was also applauding, and this scene was captured in front of tens of millions of viewers.

Wen Ming on the stage continued: "However, this product of ours is an all-round PC based on the is operating system. I named it—ipad."
