Of course, Paul Allen is also a famous investor and owns many investment companies.

For example, the famous 'DreamWorks' is one of the top ten film development, production and distribution companies in the United States. It is also a video game and TV program production company. In terms of North American box office, two of the films it has participated in the production or distribution have exceeded 4

billion, and 5 movies have exceeded 300 million. In the past two decades, more than 30 movies have exceeded 100 million. Classic movies produced by DreamWorks include "How to Get Away with Murder", "The Ring", "Tuxedo", "Vanilla Sky", "

"Gladiator", "The Haunted Man", "The Galaxy", "Kung Fu Panda", etc.

Lin Feng himself owns the former MGM company and now the 'Aeolus Pictures'. In addition to the shares of 'DreamWorks', this is even worse for the major American film companies.

Of course, it actually doesn't make much difference to these film companies whether there is a "DreamWorks" or not. Anyway, most film companies and TV series now have to rent a place in the "Windy City" to shoot their films.

You must apply to the 'Windy City' management office.

To put it simply, you have to act according to Lin Feng's face. In addition, half of the movie screens in the United States are also under Ellison's control. In other words, from the filming of the movie to the release of the movie, you basically have

It depends on Lin Feng's expression.

What do you think these film companies have to be angry about? Although they are all competitors, Lin Feng does not maliciously suppress them. It can only be said that everyone feels that the future is a little bleaker. Fortunately, you just get used to it.

Yes, just get used to it.

This includes the American company Harter-Muniations, whose Chinese name is Charter Communications Company. Its main business is to provide network services to the American people.

Of course, Paul Allen is only one of the major shareholders, but he also serves as the chairman of the board of directors. When talking about this company, we have to mention one of the stupidest super decisions in the 20th century.

That is, Paul Allen used to be a major shareholder of AOL, but when he wanted to increase his stake in AOL and become the largest shareholder, he was resisted by the "poison pill plan" of the AOL board of directors. In anger, Paul Allen announced in 1994

Sold all of his AOL stock in 2016.

Well, one can imagine the result. Later, during the last Internet wave of the 20th century, the market value of AOL's stock reached as high as 164 billion U.S. dollars at its peak. Calculated based on the stocks that Paul Allen dumped at that time, its market value was almost equivalent to one Bill.

Gates.

Unfortunately, Paul Allen sold it out of anger, making the most stupid decision of the 20th century. After that, Charter Communications came into being.

Paul Allen was not a person willing to fail. He invested in Charter Communications and grew from a low-end Internet service provider to one of the three major Internet service providers in the United States.

As for AOL, it is no longer in glory. However, when Paul Allen handed over all his shares to Lin Fengzhi, he also made several entrustments.

The first is to annex AOL to repay the hatred he felt back then. You must know that Paul Allen was very optimistic about Intent and believed that the future of the world lies in Intent, so he wanted to increase the shares of AOL so that he could use his

of will to operate.

It's a pity that I was rejected. But the management of AOL didn't understand what intent was at all, and they didn't know how to make money in the Internet era!

As a result, it has fallen from being the largest network provider to selling itself out several times. It is simply stupid! But it happens that these stupid guys, when the stock price rose to its peak, especially when it merged with Time Warner,

He often ridiculed Paul Allen and ridiculed his short-sightedness.

This made Paul Allen very angry at the time. That's why he invested huge sums of money in Charter Communications and vowed to surpass AOL. However, now that he has gone to the universe and explored the solar system, the tasks here will naturally be handed over to him.

It’s up to Lin Feng to help him fulfill his wish.

Apart from this, Lin Feng stopped looking at other small companies. Anyway, Paul Allen was an investor. He only received dividends and would not interfere with the company's operations. He was equivalent to a venture capital investor.

However, Paul Allen still had shares in a company, and that was all left to Lin Feng.

Needless to say, everyone in this family knows that Paul Allen came from one of the two entrepreneurial giants of Microsoft.

Although because of Bill Gates' success in the software industry, he was too arbitrary, could not listen to what others said, and did not trust Paul Allen's judgment on the Internet, which led to the two eventually parting ways. But Paul Allen never sold out

His 'Microsoft' shares.

3.2 billion shares! This is the largest wealth Paul Allen left to Lin Feng.

Of course, Microsoft's total share capital is as high as 798.8 billion shares, which is not a lot compared to the total share capital. But it is also the third largest individual shareholder of Microsoft, second only to Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates.

As for why Paul Allen, as one of the founders of Microsoft, holds far less shares than Bill Gates, who has been selling shares of Microsoft, and Steve Ball, who later joined

silent?

It's simple, because he was deceived by Bill Gates. When the two founded Microsoft at the same time, Paul Allen was responsible for technology, and Bill Gates was responsible for the company's management, sales, operations and a series of other businesses.

As a result, when he founded the company, Paul Allen wanted to propose a 50% equal share agreement, but Bill Gates said that Paul Allen was still receiving a salary from Altair manufacturer Mids, while Bill Gates had no income.

, so the proportion is divided into 60% for Bill Gates and 40% for Paul Allen.

After that, Bill Gates, as the company operator, increased his shares again, reaching 64%, while Paul Allen's was 36%. After that, because Paul Allen was suffering from Hodgkin's disease,

Left 'Microsoft'.

However, in 1990, he returned to Microsoft. Unfortunately, the differences between the two parties were already great. In the end, Paul Allen left Microsoft because by this time, Bill Gates already had Steve.

Ballmer, and no longer need Paul Allen, a genius whose vision goes beyond 10 years of this world!

Regarding "Microsoft" and Bill Gates, Paul Allen didn't say anything. He didn't explain anything.
