Back To 1995

   Chapter 827 I can still eat

  Paul Allen is a restless person, and he is also a tragic figure in the eyes of the media. Of course, he does not agree with the media's comments, even if they are the views of most people.

If you mention other rich people in America, Bill Gates, Carl Icahn and even Warren Buffett, it is estimated that some people will scold them, but Paul Allen is the only one who is not scolded. People who may die at any time can't make it through, even if he is much more valuable than 99.99% of the world's people, but no one is too envious of Paul Allen's life.

Every day I open my eyes, the two things I worry about the most are how to spend the tens of billions of dollars in my account, and the other thing, whether I can live to tomorrow, the two most tangled and painful things in life, Inexplicably tangled together!

  In the eyes of the general public, the pain that belongs to Paul Allen probably belongs to, more than 40 billion dollars worth of knives are still worth, but people may not be able to spend this beautiful knife...

   Walked past several office buildings in Microsoft Town and came to a headquarters building. In fact, Paul Allen didn't like coming here very much, because the traces of belonging to someone were too obvious.

   "Director Paul!"

   People who met Paul Allen greeted the old man who created Microsoft. Paul Allen, who has just survived another treatment, has changed his mentality, and he has no thoughts about worth and fame and fortune.

Even Paul Allen didn't have too many ideas about marriage and leaving offspring. When he was seriously ill, the will he made also left his sister Jody Allen and her huge worth. children, Jody Allen will be the richest woman in America.

   "Paul, how are you doing?"

The first thing Paul Allen saw was the "sincere" Ballmer. If he hadn't run into Ballmer, who was conspiring with Bill Gates to steal his equity, maybe Paul Allen I really believe this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

  You must know that Paul Allen was the major shareholder of Microsoft at the beginning. It wasn't that Paul Allen gave up his equity, and he had Ballmer in front of him. How could he get Microsoft's equity and be worth tens of billions of dollars?

   But with the initial estrangement, even if he and Bill Gates have "reconciled as before", listening to Ballmer's words, Paul Allen always feels a little uncomfortable.

   "Fortunately, the doctor said, I can live for decades!"

  Paul Allen smiled and said lightly.

  Ballmer and Paul Allen gave a warm hug, "This is the best present I've ever received after Christmas. Gates is waiting for you inside!"

This is what he said, but in Ballmer's eyes, there is still a little disappointment. Although it is not strong, Microsoft's board of directors is a turnip and a pit. When Bill Gates will retire, no one knows. For those who want to compete for the next head of Microsoft, it is the key to enter the Microsoft board first. Ballmer's qualifications are enough, but he needs an opportunity.

If Paul Allen could quit the Microsoft board, it would be an opportunity for Ballmer, but Paul Allen seems to have expected this and deliberately rejected Ballmer, even if in fact, he is not interested in continuing to stay On the Microsoft board of directors, I don't have much interest. With the continuous treatment, Paul Allen has seen a lot, and even his wife and children have no obsession. For a broken director position, what else should he be positive about? , just give or not, that is Paul Allen's own business!

   As soon as he saw Paul Allen, Bill Gates immediately got up and opened the seat for him in person, "I heard that you ordered another yacht "Octopus" to surpass Bruno Song's one?"

Over the past ten years, the relationship between Paul Allen and Bill Gates has eased a lot. Although what they did in those days was due to human nature, it was ultimately inauthentic. The two who eased the relationship were generally Bill Gates. In part, of course, it also has something to do with Paul Allen's complete detachment from Microsoft.

  Paul Allen shook his head lightly, "I recently joined a marine rescue organization and need a rescue vessel. The "Octopus" can be equipped with hospitals, helicopters, speedboats, and small submarines for faster rescue!"

For the sake of rescue at sea, it is okay to spend 250 million dollars to build a super yacht. If this is said by others, it may be pretending, but from Paul Allen's mouth, it may be It's really just that he needs a rescue boat at sea, but as Paul Allen, he can't buy that kind of ordinary rescue boat. He must build a super yacht that fits his identity.

Since his illness, Paul Allen has donated an astronomical number of US knives over the years. Like Howard Houston, Paul Allen has also funded many medical institutions and established the Allen family. Brain Science Institute, Artificial Intelligence and Cell Research Institute, etc.

   After a few chats, Paul Allen recalled that he didn't come to Microsoft headquarters very often, and if it wasn't for something, he wouldn't come here this time.

   "Have you heard about the Bruno Song guy?!" Paul Allen said to Bill Gates slightly excitedly.

  Bill Gates and Ballmer looked at each other, and they were suspicious when they heard Paul Allen mention Song Yang.

  "You mean the Bruno Music Theater invested by Bruno?

  Paul, this kid, after leaving the Internet industry, did invest in a lot of industries, but he is just a young man after all, Paul, you don’t need to compete with him for these…”

Bill Gates "euphemistically" persuaded Paul Allen that he thought that Paul Allen was competing with Song Yang for a card. Paul Allen likes bands, has an on-call band, and spends More than $200 million has created a museum for electric guitarist Jim Hendrix, as well as an interactive music museum.

And what Paul Allen is playing, Song Yang is now entering, and seems to be playing more than Paul Allen, which makes Bill Gates think that Paul Allen wants to talk to Song Yang because of these. Compete for cards.

Bill Gates heard that after Song Yang announced to build a luxury yacht last year, America and overseas rich people set off a super yacht race, Paul Allen's "Octopus" is only one of them, Oracle's Larry Ellison is building the "Sunrise" yacht, and the oil country's soil trenches have started construction of the "Platinum". This super yacht competition has completely raised the specification and price of super yachts by a notch, which has surpassed sports cars. , competition for private jets.

Bill Gates took over a Washington Post newspaper from Ballmer and put it in front of Paul Allen. It was Adrian's inauguration, Song Yang, Adrian, Tom DeLay, etc. A photo of a group of powerful people standing together.

  The Washington Post's report was that Adrian became the new governor of Texas, but when Bill Gates, Ballmer and others saw the newspaper, they had a different feeling.

When Paul Allen saw the photos in the newspaper, his eyes couldn't help shrinking. Microsoft has dealt with many congressmen all the year round, and spent a lot of money on lobbying congressmen every year. If you can knead it at will, after seeing this photo that represents power, Paul Allen knows that even if Microsoft wants to go to war with Song Yang today, it has to be weighed. Microsoft wants to use its huge influence to follow It is impossible for the network to overwhelm Song Yang!

Bill Gates showed the newspaper to Paul Allen because he wanted Paul Allen to stop talking about juvenile madness and fight with Song Yang, whether it was for power or wealth, let alone Paul Allen, Bill Gates doesn't even dare to say that he will overwhelm Song Yang now.

It's really crazy to argue with Song Yang. Bill Gates doubts whether Paul Allen's tens of billions of dollars are worth enough to burn. Paul Allen is like him, and most of his worth is still Microsoft stock. , Song Yang can hold the beautiful knife that he cashed out with a large pen in his hand!

Paul Allen glanced at Bill Gates suspiciously, then he couldn't help laughing dumbly and shook his head. He knew that Bill Gates, Ballmer, and the others were probably thinking about where they were going, and where did he still have those thoughts now? , Larry Ellison probably wanted to compete with Song Yang for some cards, but he didn't have any thoughts.

   Pointing to a place in the newspaper, Paul Allen's tone improved a bit, "I mean this!"

   Following Paul Allen's fingers, Bill Gates and Ballmer were shocked to see that it was Adrian's inauguration that the Texas Space Support Act would revive the American space industry.

   "Not to mention other things, Bruno Song's vision is indeed the best in this era, even in our modern age, this guy will definitely emerge!

   Just like when I proposed to let Microsoft enter the operating system, this kid has discovered a new continent! "

Paul Allen touted Song Yang, but he couldn't help but bring up the past, thinking that Song Yang had the style of his past, but hearing Paul Allen's words, Ballmer obviously saw Bill Gates The smile became a little stiff.

The relationship between Paul Allen and Bill Gates is very complicated. Paul is a few years older than Bill Gates. When the two met, they were basically led by Paul Allen. Paul established Microsoft and tinkered with Bill Gates. Dropped out of school and spent fifty-nine thousand dollars to buy the QDOS operating system. The rhythm of Microsoft's early stage was dominated by Paul Allen until he was diagnosed with a disease. Bill Gates and Ballmer had an affair. Played the palace drama, took away Paul Allen's major shareholder status, and let Microsoft go public, and Microsoft entered the Bill Gates era.

   Now no one dares to mention this in front of Bill Gates, and Paul Allen also noticed that Bill Gates's expression has changed.

He is not afraid of Bill Gates. He has seen various expressions of Bill Gates, including the appearance of him before he became the richest man, just like he has seen a beggar before he became an emperor. It is difficult for the emperor to have a heart of awe for him, let alone that position was given up by Paul Allen.

   But today Paul Allen didn't come to quarrel, he didn't continue to mention the old stubble.

   "We should enter the space industry. This is a new continent. The big voyage of the technology industry. In the future, space exploration will become the most important industry in the technology industry!"
