Chapter 3097: Microsoft Got Duped

w After Lam Feng arrived in the United States, not long after, Ellison announced that he would sell "Nv A" to Malaysia's richest man, Qiu Teck Puat, with a market value of US$700 million. ()

This news immediately aroused heated discussions from many parties. Ellison's selling price is definitely not low, but at this critical moment, selling "Female A" to a Malaysian Chinese who has a close relationship with Lin Feng naturally has many tricks that are worthy of consideration.

"Humph, will it be fine if you sell it to Qiu Teckba? Do you think it will be fine? It's just a dream! Lin Feng, do you think this will prevent your scandal from being exposed!" Steve Ballmer sneered. He had previously reached an agreement with Qiu Deba. As long as Ellison sells 'Female A' to Qiu Deba, then 'Microsoft' will buy it at 150% of the price. Qiu Deba will earn 50% of the net profit, which is a profit of US$350 million.

"Mr. Qiu Deba, I think our transaction can go ahead!" Steve Ballmer called Qiu Deba in Seattle.

"Of course, Mr. Ballmer, I am the one who abides by the agreement. Now that I have bought 'Female A', and your price makes me very satisfied, why don't I trade!" Qiu Deba laughed.

Ballmer frowned slightly. Originally, he was worried that Qiu Deba would suddenly change his mind, but after Qiu Deba agreed, he was worried about whether Qiu Deba was cheating. After all, this matter was of great importance, and 'Microsoft' could not lose. Otherwise, Lin Feng will really get a piece of this operating system market. This is something that 'Microsoft' will never tolerate.

"Mr. Qiu Deba, I have another question. Aren't you afraid that Lin Feng will settle a score with you?" Ballmer asked.

"Haha, Mr. Ballmer, Lin Feng is terrible. But this is Malaysia, not China. Lin Feng's influence is not that great here. And our government is not your country. Our laws sometimes don't work here. What is useful is power. Maybe outside of Malaysia, I am nothing to Lin Feng. But in Malaysia, I believe that I still have the ability to protect myself. Besides, I am almost 90, and my life is already over. The end is coming, what else can scare me?" Qiu Deba said calmly, "The only thing that scares me is that I can't leave enough legacy to my descendants."

Ballmer nodded. indeed. An old man who is almost 90 years old really has nothing to be afraid of. I have experienced everything in life.

"Mr. Qiu Deba, I will send someone to contact you. I hope we can cooperate happily!" Ballmer made his decision.

"I think we will definitely cooperate happily." Qiu Deba smiled.

Soon, Qiu Deba and "Microsoft" jointly released news that Qiu Deba sold the "Female A" he had just bought to "Microsoft" for US$1.05 billion.

Boom! The industry is shocked.

Originally, everyone was still speculating about the relationship between Qiu Deba and Lin Feng, which would make Qiu Deba support Lin Feng at this critical moment. Who could have expected the result, just a few hours later. Qiu Deba changed hands and sold it to Microsoft at a high price of 150%. This was beyond everyone's expectation. But it cheered Wall Street. The stock price of "Microsoft" immediately rose by 1.5%. At the same time, major newspapers and magazines in the United States praised "Microsoft" for its clever methods and its unpredictable ability to buy "Female A", which has rectified the reputation of American companies. This warned Lin Feng. The world is not what he wants it to be.

The entire American business community applauded Microsoft.

"Haha, Lin Feng, let's see how you can play this time! Once we crack the driving secret of 'Female A', you will be dead!" Ballmer sneered.

"Let's wait until the secret is cracked first. Lin Feng won't just give up!" Bill Gates urged.

If "Microsoft" gets "Female A", it is equivalent to stabbing Lin Feng in the fatal part. Lin Feng could not let things develop like this. Once 'Microsoft' cracked the secret of 'Female A''s driver, Lin Feng would be finished. He is bound to have follow-up actions. The most important thing for 'Microsoft' now is to crack the driver secret of 'Female A' first and give Lin Feng a heavier blow to avoid any accidents.

"Well, I'll take over the driver right away." Ballmer nodded. After the two parties signed the contract, he immediately sent someone to the 'Female A' headquarters to get the driver, preparing to come back to crack it and try not to give Lin Feng any reaction. time.

But after waiting for half an hour, the person who went to get the driver called back and said that 'Female A' didn't have the driver.

"What do you mean? What do you mean? How come there is no driver?" Ballmer exclaimed. How is this possible without a driver! "Female A" makes graphics cards, so why doesn't she have a driver?

"President, except for the 3D glasses technology and some businesses that have nothing to do with graphics cards, the most important graphics card business of 'Female A' is not in the 'Female A' company we purchased." Go to receive the vice president of 'Female A' The president said distressedly.

"What do you mean? You mean that the 'Female A' we bought does not have a graphics card business?" Ballmer felt like he was struck by lightning. Without the graphics card business, there is no point in buying ‘Female A’. And I spent so much money, wasn’t it just for the graphics card technology of ‘Female A’! Damn it, how could this happen! how so!

We were fooled! We were fooled!

"Yes, President, we may have been fooled." The vice president said solemnly.

Boom! Ballmer stumbled and fell on the sofa. He suddenly understood why the acquisition went so smoothly and why Lin Feng had no reaction so far. It turned out that all this was a conspiracy, everything was a conspiracy! No, it can't be like this!

"Ku Teck Puat, you dare to trick us!" Ballmer grabbed the phone and called Ku Teck Puat immediately, scolding him.

"Mr. Ballmer, I don't know what you are talking about! I just bought the company 'Female A', I didn't even look at it, and I sold it to you. You said I tricked you, but you are a bit too much. Although I, Ku Teck Puat, am just a small rich man in Malaysia, I can't tolerate your humiliation like this!" Ku Teck Puat shouted coldly.

Ballmer frowned. Could it be that Ku Teck Puat didn't know? Was he also deceived? Thinking of this, Ballmer sorted out his mood and calmed down.

"Mr. Qiu Deba, we just went to receive 'Female A', but we found that there was no graphics card business we wanted. You should understand that the most valuable thing about 'Female A' is the graphics card, but the 'Female A' we bought now does not have this business. Mr. Qiu Deba, let me ask you, if 'Female A' does not have the graphics card business, is it still valuable! Do we, 'Microsoft', still need it!" Ballmer asked in a questioning tone.

Qiu Deba listened and smiled secretly. If there is a graphics card business, it would be a ghost to sell it to you.

"What! Mr. Ballmer, is that so! Damn it, I was fooled! Shameless! This is too shameless! Ellison took advantage of my trust in him! He deceived me!" Qiu Deba cursed "righteously", pointing to the sky and cursing the earth.

After a while, Ballmer came back to his senses.

"Mr. Qiu Deba, are you saying that you were also deceived?" Ballmer asked tentatively.

"Well, of course, damn Ellison, I thought he was very straightforward, so I didn't read the contract carefully and bought it just like that. I didn't expect him to be so despicable!" Qiu Debao gritted his teeth.

Ballmer was speechless. You spent $700 million to acquire a company, but you didn't even read the contract carefully. If you don't cheat you, then who else can you cheat. Muttering a few words, Ballmer was depressed again. If Qiu Debao is speechless, then he is even more speechless. He didn't read the contract carefully, which is too stupid. This is really the old Chinese saying - the pot calling the kettle black when you are fifty steps away.

"Mr. Qiu Debao, you see, the problem with this contract is on your side. Now it is obvious that this contract has caused losses to our interests, so" Ballmer wanted to try to persuade Qiu Debao to push the money, or go to Ellison to include the graphics card business. In short, in Ballmer's view, 'Microsoft' cannot suffer such a big loss.

"Mr. Ballmer, what do you mean by that? Do you want me to return the money? You are going too far! You know, it is written in black and white on the contract. You can't go back on your word. Yes, I admit that there are some small mistakes in the contract. My negligence caused this blunder. But you were also negligent. There is no reason for me to bear such a loss. So, I will not return the money. If you want to sue, I will accompany you!" After saying that, Qiu Deba hung up the phone.

"Hello, hello, hello!" Ballmer wanted to argue a few more words, but there was a dead tone on the other end of the phone. When he called again, it was not Qiu Deba who answered the phone, but his secretary. And his secretary kept repeating the same few sentences. First, the contract has become a fact, Qiu Deba will never return the money; second, Qiu Deba can try to contact Ellison and communicate to let Ellison transfer the graphics card business to him. If Ellison agrees and does not want money, then Qiu Deba will not take a penny from Microsoft. On the contrary, what Ellison wants, Chiu Tak-pua will charge Microsoft (note, calculated based on 150% of the transaction market value).

Hearing what Chiu Tak-pua's secretary said, Ballmer almost fainted. This is too shameless, too much. This is simply the logic of a robber.

"Sue, must sue!" Ballmer's eyebrows and beard trembled together, obviously angry. Isn't it true, how can he not be angry about such a big mistake! Especially now that Microsoft's stock has soared, and Lin Feng's company's stock price has plummeted, and the number of users of the "Panlong System" has begun to decline because of this acquisition (all users are worried that the Panlong System has no future). If this scandal breaks out, won't everything be ruined!

However, it is clearly written in black and white on the contract, and he can't get away with it even if he wants to! No, he must contact Ellison. Ballmer was still thinking about lowering his head to talk to Ellison, but there was news from Ellison again. (To be continued.
