Bill Gates looked at Fang Chen with a calm face, completely no longer the affectionate appearance of a friend with Fang Chen just now.

For most Westerners, although it is not so clear that friends are friends, business is business, there can be no interaction between the two, even if you are my friend, you can't take advantage of me in business, which is full of the meaning of brothers and brothers.

But the little friendship between him and Fang Chen was not enough for him to give Fang Chen a large number of Microsoft shares for nothing.

Well, that's right, in his eyes, more than 1% of the shares are given to Fang Chen for free, and even more than 0.5% is given away for free.

The reason is very simple, Microsoft's revenue last year was 2.7 billion US dollars, and according to his understanding, Kingsoft WPS created more than 60 million Chinese coins for Kingsoft last year, that is, about 11 million US dollars in revenue, which is 250 times different from Microsoft's revenue, or about 0.4% in percentage terms.

Even if you count the premium that WPS can bring because of its market share in China, he thinks it will not exceed 0.5%, the market in China is indeed very large, and the growth rate is also very fast, but Microsoft's growth is also not slow, he expects that in the next three to five years, Microsoft will continue to maintain the same growth rate as last year, nearly 60%, which is not too difficult.

As for Microsoft's market capitalization, it has grown even faster, since he became a billionaire in 1987, but in just six years, he is now worth more than 10 billion US dollars, a hundred times longer.

And this is the result of his reduction of Microsoft's stake from 60% to 44.8% now, and if he does not dilute and sell, he will be worth more.

So, in his mind, it's not a good idea to trade Microsoft's stake for WPS.

And the reason why he politely refused just now, and at the same time mentioned 1% of Microsoft's shares to Fang Chen, was more because of Fang Chen.

In his eyes, Fang Chen is worth at least 0.5% of Microsoft's shares, so when added to WPS, it is almost 1%.

Although Huaxia's contribution to Microsoft is really minimal, I have to say that the potential of the Huaxia market is very great, if he can rely on 0.5% of the shares to win over Fangchen, let Fangchen open up the Huaxia market for Microsoft, escort, and even charge into battle, he thinks it is worth it.

As for saying, if more, forget it.

He doesn't have to rely on Fang Chen to defeat WPS.

He already had several plans in mind to defeat the WPS, but if Fang Chen was willing to help, he would be able to make it a lot easier.

But if the cost is too great, it is not necessary.

Fang Chen grinned, not too surprised, let alone angry.

Although the 1% stake sounds like a flower child, after all, it is Microsoft's shares, and in later generations, it is by relying on this 1% Microsoft stakes, he can at least mix with the top ten richest people in China.

Of course, the premise is that the 1% stake is not diluted.

But this is obviously impossible.

"Bill, 1% is too little and it's not necessary. Actually, you didn't understand what I meant just now, I mean WPS to you, and then you count me as the office software, we can sign a cooperation agreement, and then divide the money according to the sales amount of Microsoft Office software, for example, from now on, Microsoft Office software earns a hundred dollars of pure profit, you only need to give me fifteen dollars. Fang Chen said.

"It's not impossible to split the Microsoft Office money, but 15 percent is too high, so high that even if I agreed, Paul and Steve wouldn't agree. Bill Gates flatly refused.

But it can be seen that he is somewhat moved.

Compared with giving Fangchen Microsoft shares, he feels that it is indeed an acceptable way to simply sign a contract with Fangchen and then only share the profit part of the office software.

After all, in the future, Microsoft may have countless businesses and countless possibilities, but office software can only be one of them, and who can guarantee that office software will continue to maintain high profitability in the next ten or even twenty years.

But 15% is absolutely not good, and if that happens, he'd rather break up and figure out how to beat WPS on his own.

You know, now office software accounts for 60% of Microsoft's annual revenue, so converted, the 15% office software shares that Fang Chen wants are equivalent to 9% of Microsoft's profits, how could he agree.

"Bill, if you think about it, 15% of the money is actually not a lot of money......"

Hearing Fang Chen say this, Bill Gates was a little anxious, and interrupted Fang Chen: "Fang, now the contribution of the Huaxia market to Microsoft's revenue can almost be said to be minimal, and it is impossible for me to take a tiny thing and give you 15% of the profits of office software." ”

Bill Gates added a noticeable accent to the words 'to give it to you'.

"Bill!"

Fang Chen suddenly sat up straight, and said with a serious expression: "Bill, although I admit that the Huaxia market is an uncultivated wasteland for Microsoft now, it has no value, and it does not contribute much to Microsoft. But you can't deny that the growth rate of the Huaxia market is the fastest compared to the growth rate of Microsoft in other countries, and Huaxia is also the most populous country in the world, accounting for 20% of the world's population. ”

"If you get the WPS, it means that you get the ticket to this huge country that accounts for 20% of the world's population!" Fang Chen suddenly looked excited, slapped the table vigorously, and said loudly.

Looking at Fang Chen's appearance of hating iron but not steel, I don't know what kind of crime Bill Gates committed and an unforgivable heinous crime.

However, seriously, Fang Chen really thinks so.

In his eyes, the current Bill Gates is simply guilty of heaven, and there is nothing to pray for, and God will not forgive him.

From now until 2018, Microsoft Office has contributed at least $400 billion to $500 billion in revenue to Microsoft, and even if it is a net profit, it is at least $200 billion.

15% of the $200 billion is $30 billion, which is basically comparable to Ma Yun's worth of becoming the richest man in China in later generations.

No, it should be higher than Ma Yun's worth, Ma Yun's more than 30 billion are shares of Ali and other companies, if Ma Yun throws out the shares of these companies, it would be good to be able to recover half of them.

And Microsoft Office brought him a real $30 billion.

And Microsoft didn't go out of business in 2018, and office software didn't suddenly become unpopular in 2018 and couldn't sell it at all, if it made money for another twenty years, it would be another $30 billion.

How could Fang Chen not be angry?

Taking someone's money is like killing someone's parents, that's the truth.

It's just that if you calculate it carefully, it should be Fang Chen who took Bill Gates' money.

Looking at Fang Chen's indignant and angry appearance, Bill Gates suddenly felt a headache, how could he have a feeling of luring a wolf into the room.

This is good, WPS has indeed become Microsoft's ticket to enter China.

It's just that the guards at the gate of the Huaxia market, or the roadblock, have changed from the original simple WPS to two, with WPS on the left and Fang Chen on the right.

After all, he and Fang Chen have known each other for nearly a year, coupled with Fang Chen's curiosity, he really knows a lot about Fang Chen's glorious deeds, and it can be said that Fang Chen's understanding is relatively thorough.

Naturally, I know what kind of ruthless character the teenager in front of me who is less than half the age of myself is.

If he didn't agree to Fang Chen's request, or even tore his face directly with Fang Chen, with his demon-like insight into people's hearts and his huge network of connections in Huaxia, it would be easy to do something bad about Microsoft.

By the way, don't think about the Russian market either.

Of course, Microsoft is not saying that because of Fang Chen's blocking, it will completely lose the Chinese market and the Russian market, but it will definitely be many times more difficult.

However, he also admitted that what Fang Chen said was reasonable, although Huaxia is poor, but because it accounts for 20% of the world's population, it is a market that Microsoft must fight for, and even cannot lose.

Seeing Bill Gates's appearance of not knowing whether it was eating or constipation, Fang Chen smiled slightly and said: "Bill, the Huaxia market is very big, and I can say to you that the Huaxia market will be the most active and fastest-growing market in the next twenty or thirty years, or even less than thirty years, no, in twenty-five years, Huaxia will jump to become the world's largest consumer market, do you think Microsoft can lose the Huaxia market?"

"I can definitely say that the loss of the Chinese market is definitely a huge loss for Microsoft. ”

"In addition, the Huaxia market is here, if Microsoft does not occupy it, it will be occupied by other operating system companies, does Microsoft want to watch, from Huaxia was born a, similar to WPS for Microsoft Office operating system company?"

After listening to Fang Chen's words, Bill Gates felt like his head was about to blow up.

Threat!

A demonic threat!

What Fang Chen said just now was simply the most vicious threat in the world!

Looking at Bill Gates, who fell into silence and had a painful face, Fang Chen drank the red wine in the glass with a calm expression.

Sweet, full of grape aromas.

Bill Gates really cares about him, and he should have brought out the best red wine in the house to entertain him.

Melinda was doing the work that the hostess should do, telling the nanny and the cook to bring desserts and fruits, and chatting with Fang Chen from time to time to maintain a due joyful atmosphere so that the scene would not be too embarrassing.

Her biggest rule at home is not to interfere with Bill Gates' work.

What she needs is to be a good trash can for Bill Gates's emotions, just as a mother tolerates her young son.

I don't know how long it took, Bill Gates raised his head and showed a helpless smile towards Fang Chen, "Okay, Fang, I think what you said is right, Microsoft really can't lose the Chinese market, I also need your help, but 15% can't do it, this price is too high, I can't explain it to you." ”

He threw in the towel!

Really admit defeat!

After Fang Chen said this, it is no longer just a question of how much loss will be brought to the company by losing the Chinese market.

Rather, it is a question of whether the Chinese market will become, cultivating another, able to compete with Microsoft, operating system companies, and fertile ground.

If this is the case, then the loss caused by Microsoft's loss of the Chinese market is greater than 1+1 than 2.

Seriously, if someone in other countries said that to him, he could think that he was farting, but Huaxia couldn't.

Huaxia already has such a lesson as WPS.

No one dares to guarantee that Huaxia will not have a second operating system company similar to WPS, not to mention that there is one of the biggest variables - Fang Chen, who is obstructing it.
