Chapter 3126 Sliding Into the Abyss

w    Paul Allen agreed to join the "Second World". []

"I think this news will shock the world when it is announced tomorrow!" Lin Feng smiled.

Paul Allen laughed. Thinking of Bill Gates' surprised eyes, he was full of expectations. Although the two had started a business together, their relationship had long been broken. He was very happy to make Bill Gates lose face.

"By the way, tomorrow is the last day of your bet with Microsoft. Currently, the stock price of Microsoft is close to 29 US dollars. If the stock price does not fall sharply before the end of tomorrow, you will lose 1 billion US dollars. Although this money is nothing to you, you lost this bet!" Paul Allen said.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Don't worry, the battle can be resolved tomorrow! Especially with your joining, Mr. Allen, I believe you will be the most deadly weapon to directly defeat the stock price of Microsoft. But it is also a blow to the 5% of Microsoft shares you hold." Lin Feng said with a headache.

Currently, Microsoft's stock price is $28.8, with a total market value of about $239.9 billion. Paul Allen holds 5% of Microsoft's stock, with a market value of about $11.905 billion. If it falls below $18, Paul Allen's loss will be as high as $4.4 billion. This loss is a bit big.

"Haha, the stock market fluctuates, which is normal. What's more, I still own 5% of Microsoft's stock, and I never plan to sell it. Even if the stock price is not worth a dime, I will not sell it." Paul Allen laughed and shook his head.

Lin Feng sighed. Since Paul Allen doesn't care, that's good.

"Then Mr. Allen, you can rest first. Please attend the press conference together tomorrow." Lin Feng stood up and said goodbye.

"Mr. Lin, we'll see you tomorrow. I believe tomorrow will be a very exciting day!" Paul Allen sent Lin Feng away with great anticipation.

The next day.

March 5. This ordinary day became an extraordinary day because of Lin Feng's bet against Microsoft. In the past few days, Lin Feng has been dealing with all the actions of Microsoft. But he has not taken any countermeasures. It can even be said that Lin Feng almost didn't resist. No one knows what Lin Feng is thinking, and whether he still wants to win. If Lin Feng wants to win, then he must make a move today.

Therefore, all reporters have been squatting in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel since early in the morning, waiting for Lin Feng's figure here.

"Is Lin Feng moving?" Ballmer clasped his hands together, staring at the homepages of major portals,

searching for Lin Feng's trace.

"President. Lin Feng has not made any movement at present. He has been staying in the Hilton Hotel." The secretary replied.

Ballmer frowned. What exactly does Lin Feng want to do? What does he want to do?

He will definitely take action, he will!

"Keep an eye on him, and notify me immediately if there is any news!" Ballmer ordered.

At this time, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning. Lin Feng had dressed up, and after having breakfast leisurely, waiting for the Nasdaq to open, Lin Feng came to the lobby of the Hilton Hotel.

Seeing Lin Feng appear. Many reporters immediately surrounded him.

"Dear journalist friends, please don't worry. I will hold a press conference, so please don't worry. Today, there will be something for you to write. I promise!" Lin Feng smiled slightly and stopped many reporters from surrounding him.

Many reporters laughed immediately. With Lin Feng's guarantee, they don't have to squeeze like dumplings, so they can go directly to the press conference room to wait. There is a special press conference on the first floor of the Hilton Hotel. Although it is not big, it can still accommodate hundreds of people. There is no problem for all these reporters to sit down here.

Of course, compared with the importance of today and the eye-catching appeal of Lin Feng, the topic figure, this press conference room is not enough. The industry has long had a statistical law, that is, if Lin Feng holds a press conference normally, there must be at least a press conference room that can accommodate 500 people. If Lin Feng holds a press conference during an abnormal period, there must be at least a press conference room with 2,000 people. And if there is a particularly major event, it is best for Lin Feng to hold a press conference in the square. Otherwise, no matter how big the press conference room is, it will not be enough.

Today, this press conference room that can accommodate about 300 people is already crowded. And the reporters are still pouring in. Crazy reporters, who have learned through various channels that Lin Feng is going to hold a press conference, are trying every possible way to rush over.

To be honest, they are rushing and cursing at the same time. Others will notify in advance when they hold a press conference. But Lin Feng, he notified at the last minute. Isn't this a hassle? If I had known this, I would not have thought about interviewing "Microsoft" today, but would have stayed here honestly, waiting for Lin Feng's Jedi counterattack.

Rushing and hurrying, when most reporters arrived, the press conference hall was already blocked, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and a dark crowd. Many late reporters looked helpless. Fortunately, for this press conference, there are monitors in the lobby outside the press conference hall for live broadcast. Therefore, many reporters can still know what Lin Feng is talking about. The only inconvenience is that they can't ask questions.

On March 5, at 9:30 am, Lin Feng arrived at the press conference hall on time. Even though the press conference room was packed with people, when Lin Feng arrived, all the reporters instinctively made way for him.

"Thank you so much, many journalist friends, for coming. Even with just a short notice, so many people still came. Thank you!" Lin Feng clasped his fists.

Many reporters prepared their cameras, papers and pens, ready to start recording every sentence and every word that Lin Feng was about to say.

"Today is a good day. Everyone knows that it is the option trading day for me to short sell 100 million shares of Microsoft. And the current stock price of Microsoft, hehe, has just opened at more than 29 US dollars. It seems that some people are eager for me to lose more. But whether I will lose money, we will only know at the end." Lin Feng smiled, "First of all, I am here to expose a lie!"

Everyone was stunned. Lies, what lies?

"Mr. Ballmer said that 'STA' is the most popular operating system in history. I absolutely do not agree with this. This argument is a big lie." Lin Feng's first sentence. He pointed the spearhead at Ballmer, and his words were so sharp, which made many reporters who worked hard to come here. Very satisfied. They are so enthusiastic about Lin Feng, even if they do not agree with Lin Feng, they are still enthusiastic about Lin Feng because Lin Feng dares to make a fuss! This is something that other super rich people do not have. Generally speaking, many wealthy people are very cautious and their words are like a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which makes people not interested at all. But Lin Feng's words are heart-piercing and exciting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why do I say that Ballmer is lying? Because the sales volume of 'STA' is indeed the first in history. But that is just the sales volume. Of course, this has to put aside my 'Pangu system'. The 'STA' system is the first in the paid sales list, but it is definitely not the most successful operating system in history. Why do you say that?" Lin Feng shrugged, "When everyone counts sales and writes headlines, they all overlook one point, that is, the data of global computer sales in one year when XP was released and when STA was released." Lin Feng smiled slightly.

"When XP was released, 2bsp;   the grapes are sour! Ballmer heard this and slammed the table in anger.

Many pro-Microsoft reporters at the scene thought so. However, they wanted to refute Lin Feng, but they had no way to refute. Because what Lin Feng said was indeed true. In terms of market share, the STA system is indeed not as good as the XP system.

At this time, Lin Feng took out a remote control and pressed the button on the remote control.

"Haha, I almost forgot to turn this on." Lin Feng smiled slightly, and the Nasdaq stock price index fluctuations appeared on the big screen next to him, and the stock price of Microsoft was displayed on the individual stock display.

"Today, please reporters come with me to wait for the moment to witness the miracle! "Lin Feng chuckled.

Many reporters looked at each other, and were shocked. Lin Feng was too confident. He was sure that Microsoft's stock price would fall today. He was too confident. If he gathered so many reporters to witness the miracle with him, and Microsoft's stock price did not fall, he would be embarrassed.

Is he absolutely sure? Where does his confidence come from? Many reporters speculated, but there was no result.

"Too arrogant!" Ballmer pounded his fist in the office.

Lin Feng, I want to see how our stock price fell today! Ballmer roared.

At this time, the stock price of Microsoft, which had been rising slowly, suddenly jumped, from the original 293 US dollars to 29bsp;    But just because of this, you, Lin Feng, want to kill Microsoft, then you are wrong. I see what tricks you have! Ballmer stared at the screen of the live press conference.

At this time, Lin Feng smiled again.

"Everyone, I have a second announcement here. "Lin Feng looked at many reporters.

Many reporters looked at Lin Feng expectantly, and then looked at the stock price, wanting to see what Lin Feng could do to hit the stock price of 'Microsoft'.

"The second point is that Kingsoft Software Company from China will launch a version based on the 'Pangu version'.   Hey! Many reporters exclaimed in surprise. In this case, many reporters hurriedly looked at the Nasdaq stock price. Of course, it will take a little time for Lin Feng's announcement to reach Nasdaq. Therefore, after waiting for a few minutes, the Nasdaq stock price began to fluctuate.

The stock price of 'Microsoft' fell directly from 298 US dollars to 27 US dollars, and it was still falling all the way. At this time, Lin Feng still lost 900 million US dollars.

k, he can't let him play like this! Ballmer said in annoyance. He was worried that he played all the cards at once, leaving him with no way to deal with Lin Feng's tricks. But as the president of 'Microsoft', he still has some ability.

Ballmer immediately issued a statement, claiming that he would bsp;   The stock price of ‘Microsoft’ would stabilize and stop falling because of Ballmer’s statement. Many American reporters breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ would continue to slide like this. If that happened, Lin Feng would be laughed at. No matter what, they are all Americans after all, so they naturally support ‘Microsoft’.

Lin Feng looked at the stabilized stock price of ‘Microsoft’ and smiled slightly. From Lin Feng’s heart, he did not expect that the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ would be so strong. Obviously, ‘STA’ still gave many investors confidence. Unfortunately, the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ is destined to plummet today! When Paul Allen agreed to join ‘Second World’, the fate of the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ was doomed!

But now, there is no rush, just play slowly! Lin Feng wants Ballmer to watch the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ slide into the abyss. (To be continued...)m
