Chapter 3028 Representatives of the Old Era

Zhou Buqi is an Internet entrepreneur, so he has lived in the Bay Area for a long time in Silicon Valley.

The family is there too.

When I came to Los Angeles, it was a lot "deserted".

At least the number of beautiful women in the family has been greatly reduced. Except for a few secretaries such as Sun Wanran, Yan Qiqi, Zhao Li Muge, and Zhang Zetian, as well as Wang Langli and Huo Hua, two newcomers who have just entered the industry and have not seen much of the world, there are only Four beautiful maids who usually look after the house.

Without the supervision of Aunt Xue, Wen Zhixia, Shi Jinglin, Xue Baoshan and others at home, Zhou Buqi would be somewhat indulgent outside.

On the first day he lived here, he called those beautiful Japanese maids, and they started making love on the sofa in the living room on the fourth floor. One of them even met Hong, who turned out to be a fish that had slipped through the net that Boss Zhou had never touched before.

This made Zhou Buqi say he was lucky.

fine!

Fortunately, I came to Los Angeles, otherwise I wouldn't have known that there was a perfect maid hidden here. This is such a waste, all the money is wasted.

In fact, it's not just Boss Zhou who is indulgent.

Ballmer's home is in Seattle.

Going to Los Angeles to buy the Clippers was an absolute surprise for him, which gave him a high-sounding reason to spend the night outside.

Ballmer has a good relationship with Zhou Buqi.

Especially after he resigned as CEO of Microsoft, there were no business differences and struggles, and the personal relationship between the two parties took a further step. Compared to Bill Gates, Zhou Buqi prefers to associate with Ballmer because this person is simple and down-to-earth, and his enthusiasm for basketball can also be seen. He is a passionate person in life.

Bill Gates is different. He is becoming more and more capitalist.

He even sold Microsoft stocks for many years, and after getting the money, he made waves in the capital market. This is completely different from Ballmer. Ballmer has never used such capital methods. All his wealth comes from Microsoft stocks. He rarely sells stocks. His biggest hobby in life is basketball... and everyone Love beauty.

His confidante is a financial auditor, a divorced single mother in her thirties.

Although Ballmer did not explicitly state his relationship with this beautiful woman who is more than 20 years younger than her, he lived in her home and even invited Zhou Buqi to be a guest in the evening... This shows that there is a lot of connection between this year-end friendship. Deep trusting relationship.

Zhou Buqi took Zhang Zetian as a guest and gave him a modern Chinese painting as a gift.

Ballmer is bald and very casual at home. He wears a short-sleeved vest and big pants, and his out-of-shape figure is really ugly. This makes Zhou Buqi very wary, and he also secretly warns himself.

Be sure to exercise frequently!

You need to keep your figure stable. Even if you get older, don't look like Ballmer... How can a pregnant woman's figure still have a certain degree of sexual attraction? When a beautiful woman is with you, it can be said that there is no physical attraction at all.

He must be like his other Hollywood friend George Clooney, who is still tall and straight despite his age. He is a real sexy man who drives thousands of girls crazy.

After visiting Ballmer's home, Zhou Buqi reiterated his request, "You must stop Bill Gates!"

Ballmer laughed and said: "I have already contacted him and said that I am opposed to the acquisition of LinkedIn. However, I don't know exactly what he thinks. You can communicate with him directly. Why do you have to through me?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I will contact him, but it's best for you to lay the groundwork first."

Ballmer said: "As early as the previous board meeting, I opposed the acquisition of LinkedIn. It was the new CEO Nadella who was very ambitious and set his sights on LinkedIn. Bill Gates may not support the acquisition of LinkedIn." Ying’s proposal may be supported by Nadella. If you really want to stop the deal, the most effective way is to ask Nadella to give up, which may be more effective than convincing Bill Gates.”

"Um!"

Zhou Buqi thought what he said made sense.

Ballmer hesitated for a moment and sighed, "It's okay, I can do you one more favor."

Zhou Buqi asked: "How can I help?"

"I'm at Microsoft..." Ballmer sighed with some disappointment. "I'm at Microsoft, and many people regard it as a symbol of the old era. After I left office, Nadella aggressively integrated Microsoft's rights and owned With the huge support of the board of directors, many people believe that my presence may be a huge obstacle to his rapid leadership of Microsoft into a new era."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was surprised.

Ballmer is the most crucial figure in the development of Microsoft, and his role is not much worse than that of Bill Gates!

Ballmer resigned as CEO of Microsoft a few months ago. However, he is still Microsoft's executive director and has a decisive say in the board of directors.

Listening to his tone, it seems that even the position of director is about to be removed.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Isn't Bill Gates a representative of the old Microsoft era?"

Ballmer said: "Yeah, so he has quit. The reason why he still exists is because Nadella invited him to serve as a technical advisor, hoping to give him more support in the early days of taking office. In the long term, Gates and I will become Microsoft's past tense."

Zhou Buqi was not sentimental, and he could hear something from his words, "You mean... you are willing to accept everyone's opinions, and you want to voluntarily step down from Microsoft's board of directors?"

Ballmer nodded, "I will focus more on the management of the team in the future. As a condition for resigning as executive director, I will apply to the board of directors to ask them to give up the plan to acquire LinkedIn."

Zhou Buqi knew that this was actually a favor.

Even if there was no LinkedIn, Ballmer must have made up his mind to retire from Microsoft.

Being recognized as a "stubborn conservative" by everyone is not a good feeling. It is better to leave Microsoft completely and put more enthusiasm in the Los Angeles Clippers. Since this is an opportunity to retire, why not help Boss Zhou.

But even if it was a favor, Zhou Buqi had to express his gratitude in action, so he smiled and said, "Next week, Avengers 2 will be released worldwide. I will definitely not be able to go to the premiere, because that is the stage when Ziweixing International is listed. However, when Avengers 2 is a global hit and there is a celebration party, you can go with us? You can meet some excellent Hollywood actors and... actresses. By the way, do you have any favorite actors?"

"Ha!" Ballmer carefully glanced in the direction of his confidante, and then whispered, "When I was young, I was obsessed with Jodie Foster."

Zhou Buqi immediately stated, "No problem! When the time comes, I will invite her no matter what!"
