Early the next morning, Sun Dahai came back from morning exercise with Erxiao. After washing, he was going to the restaurant for breakfast.
In winter here in Daqingshan, the weather is cold and the outdoors is almost covered with ice and snow. Therefore, except for ice and snow sports, regular outdoor sports are not possible.
Fortunately, the conditions here at the resort are good, with hot springs, swimming pools, indoor gyms and sun rooms, which can be suitable for people with different exercise requirements.
The sunroom of the resort is a very large, fully transparent greenhouse, covering an area of about one acre. Due to the limitations of current production technology, the sunroom is made up of three independent sunrooms spliced together.
The sunroom is composed of aluminum-wood structural keels, complete independent floor heating equipment, and an automatic opening and closing ceiling. The facade is made of double-layer insulating glass, and the top surface is made of multi-layer laminated tempered glass.
The equipment and building materials of the sun room are all imported from the Federal Republic of Germany. The modification and splicing plan is also formulated by the manufacturer's designers, who personally lead a team to install and debug.
As a result, this large-scale sunroom is currently the only one in the country, and the effect is very amazing. Of course, corresponding to it is the even more amazing fee list.
The sunroom is nearly rectangular, with artificial rockeries, a stream and a large number of green plants inside. There are also many cold-resistant ornamental fish in the stream.
There are leisure lounge chairs near the glass windows in the sun room for tourists to enjoy sunbathing. There is also a walking path that surrounds the sun room, providing tourists with a convenient and relaxing indoor fitness method.
For Sun Dahai, the exercise method in the sun room is not suitable for him. Every morning, he takes his second child and takes turns doing morning exercises in the hot spring swimming pool and the gym.
The guests from the United States were jet-lagged, so most of them got up before dawn, wandering around the resort and experiencing various leisure and entertainment projects in the resort.
When it was time for breakfast, they came to the buffet one after another. While eating, they exchanged their experiences about the resort and the project.
These American customers are all customers of Blue Ocean International. They are all in the early stages of entrepreneurship. Most of them are young, and those over thirty years old are actually a minority.
When Sun Dahai entered the restaurant, a member of the minority group saw him and walked over.
Thirty-five-year-old Paul Allen should be the most successful entrepreneur in this tour group. He is also the richest and most famous person in this tour group.
Although he resigned from all positions and left the Microsoft board of directors in 1983 because he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
However, his status as the co-founder of Microsoft and his 40% ownership of Microsoft stock (original shares when Microsoft was founded) make his reputation and assets far higher than those of his fellow entrepreneurs among his peers.
Because of his illness, Paul left Microsoft and his beloved software design job. After nearly a year of intensive treatment, Paul's illness was effectively controlled.
At this time, his body has basically recovered to 80%. In the future, he only needs to insist on taking medicine for a long time to greatly reduce the possibility of recurrence.
Paul, who has been on the line of life and death, has also started a new life in recent years. He no longer engages in hard-working software development work, but while enjoying life, he begins to invest.
In the words of Sun Dahai, Paul's investment is purely for fun. He relies on the large sum of money he gets from reducing his holdings of Microsoft stocks every year to make random moves in the investment circle. He is completely based on his personal interests, and he is engaged in many fields such as high technology.
Spend a lot of money in popular investment areas.
It's a pity that Paul's investment luck seems to be bad. He invested in many companies, but with little success, and there were almost no successful cases.
Therefore, Paul was nicknamed by insiders as a "failed investor" and "the worst manager".
But Paul still went his own way. Anyway, the rise of Microsoft stock was almost endless. He had too much money to spend, and he didn't care what others said.
When Sun Dahai went to Microsoft headquarters to attend the Microsoft shareholders meeting, Paul also attended the meeting.
He heard Bill talk about Sun Dahai and was curious about an Asian kid who built a large number of positions on the first day of Microsoft's IPO and became Microsoft's third largest individual shareholder, so he went to see Sun Dahai specifically.
Although everyone was happy with the outcome of that tripartite meeting, the whole process was actually lackluster.
Bill is very controlling and doesn't care much about money, but his control over Microsoft must not be coveted.
Sun Dahai's purpose of investing in Microsoft is very clear, which is to ride in the sedan and let others take care of him to make money.
Although he owns many companies, his relationship with Microsoft has almost no intersection except for installing and using Microsoft software on computers.
The identity he retained was even more detached. He was the founder of Microsoft and Bill's close partner and guide. The two had a very good personal relationship.
However, due to illness, Paul no longer participated in the operation and management of Microsoft. Therefore, the three people had no direct conflicts of interest, let alone conflicts in principle, so the communication was very smooth.
The serious business they talked about that day only took a total of one hour, and they were completed in mutual concessions. The rest of the time was spent chatting to get to know each other, so as to understand each other's temper, personality and abilities.
The main speakers during the chat were Sun Dahai and Paul. Bill was a focused and paranoid person, and Sun Dahai and Paul had long known about his desire to control Microsoft.
In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and suspicions in Bill, the two simply did not talk about Microsoft or software-related matters, but talked about the future development trends of many industries and investment directions.
The reborn Sun Dahai's judgment and analysis of various major trends are as different as those between an expert and a primary school student compared to Paul who only relies on his own feelings. Even Bill listened with great interest and made several suggestions from time to time.
Please ask Sun Dahai to help answer the question.
Therefore, it was through that meeting that they increased their understanding of each other. This effectively brought Microsoft's three largest individual shareholders closer together.
Bill is no longer blindly wary of Sun Dahai to prevent him from taking the opportunity to infiltrate into Microsoft and thus affect Bill's control and management of Microsoft.
When the global stock market crash broke out in 1987, Bill called and asked Sun Dahai for predictions on the trend of the U.S. stock market and the timing of Microsoft's stock repurchase operations.
Not only that, Bill also took the initiative to borrow a sum of funds from Sun Dahai to repurchase Microsoft shares in the market at the cost of transferring some of Microsoft's shares.
You know, if Bill hadn't trusted Sun Dahai and believed that he would not be his enemy in controlling Microsoft, he would not have come to Sun Dahai to borrow funds, let alone offer to increase Sun Dahai's shares.
