Extraordinary Genius
Chapter 1058 – The excited Allen
Feng Yu walked out of Bill Gates’s office and called Ralph on the phone to pack up his office. They will not be using their office in Microsoft.
Bill Gates looks at Feng Yu’s back and suddenly regretted his decision. He shook his head to remove this thought.
Removing Feng Yu from the board of directors is the right decision for Microsoft and Bill Gates’s interest.
Feng Yu must be bluffing. How can he make Bill Gates regret? Is it because of his influence in China?
Microsoft’s distribution contract with Lenovo will end next year. Even if the contract is ending this year, Microsoft had sold lots of its software in China, and its market share is increasing steadily.
Without Lenovo, Bill Gates is confident that there will be other companies that are willing to be their distributors. They can also do without distributors, as they have a branch office in China.
Will Microsoft go downhill without Feng Yu’s help? No one had helped Microsoft in Europe, and they still managed to penetrate the European market.
…….
“Boss, all our stuff is packed, and the car is downstairs. Are we leaving just like that?” Ralph stood beside Feng Yu outside their office.
“Yes. Get someone to carry our things out. We have an office in Amazon, and we will leave some of our men here. You will move to your office in the Wind and Rain Empire State Building in a few days.” Feng Yu patted Ralph’s shoulder. Ralph did not say a word or ask anything when Feng Yu asked him to pack their stuff, and this is the attitude Feng Yu likes.
Ralph is quite capable and had completed most of the tasks given to him by Feng Yu.
Ralph is very excited. He can finally work at his New York office in Wind and Rain Empire State Building! He is sick of working in Microsoft.
Ralph had to withstand Paul Allen’s insults and sarcastic remarks, and Microsoft is located in a small city, unlike New York.
New York is Ralph’s hometown, and his wife and children will be glad to move there.
Among Feng Yu’s team of assistants, there is one staff who is a local in Washington. So, Ralph will let him remain in Washington to relay Amazon and Microsoft news to him.
Many Microsoft staff noticed Feng Yu and his men packing and leaving. Within five minutes, all Microsoft employees know about this.
An internal memo was issued by the Administrative department. “Due to personal reasons, Deputy Asia President, Feng Yu, had resigned as Director and Deputy Asia President. From now onwards, Feng Yu will no longer hold any position in Microsoft!”
This news shocked all the Microsoft employees.
What?! Feng Yu had resigned as Microsoft Director and Deputy Asia President?!
How is this possible? Who will give up these positions? Even when Feng Yu is the World’s second richest man, there is no reason for him to give up his authority in Microsoft. Furthermore, the top management staff will get bonus shares from the company.
Many staff speculates that Feng Yu had not resigned on his own accord. He should be fired by Microsoft or Bill Gates!
Didn’t Bill Gates invite Feng Yu to be Microsoft’s director? To get Feng Yu into the board of directors, Bill Gates had traded some voting shares with him. What happened today?
Is it because Feng Yu is a threat to Bill Gates’s status as the World’s Richest Man? If not, why did Feng Yu leave Microsoft?
But many employees noticed Feng Yu does not seem to be upset over his departure from Microsoft. In fact, he seems… happy?
That’s right. Many people saw Feng Yu smiling.
But why is Feng Yu smiling?
Feng Yu is happy because he is no longer a director of Microsoft and can dump Microsoft’s shares at the end of the year without needing to give an explanation.
Initially, Feng Yu felt sorry for Bill Gates if he dumps Microsoft’s shares and triggers the Dot.com bubble burst. After all, Bill Gates had helped him in the past.
But now, Feng Yu does not feel any pressure, and even look forward to that day. Wind and Rain Consulting had invested most of its funds into the US tech stocks, including Microsoft.
When Feng Yu announced that he sold all his Microsoft shares at the end of the year, it will be a severe blow to all the US tech firms. All their shares will plunge!
This will create a financial crisis.
But Feng Yu is not an American and should have sold all his US shares.
When all the Microsoft employees are guessing the reason why Feng Yu had left, one person is celebrating. This person is Paul Allen.
Success! Paul Allen had finally succeeded!
With Feng Yu kicked out of the board, Paul Allen will no longer need to look at Feng Yu’s irritating face. Even if he met Feng Yu at other places, he could look down on Feng Yu.
Paul Allen is still a Microsoft Director and the second-biggest shareholder, and Feng Yu no longer has any say in Microsoft!
“Mark! Notify our men to come to my house tomorrow. We will have a party. Oh… give each of them 10,000 USD as a bonus!”
Paul Allen’s assistant, Mark, immediately inform Paul Allen’s direct subordinates. As Paul Allen’s trusted aide, he knows why Paul Allen is in such a good mood.
Director Feng, the enemy of Paul Allen, was kicked out of Microsoft!
