"Mr. Gates, I finally met with you, but I didn't expect that we would meet in this situation. After Zheng Yan saw Bill Gates, he quickly got up and stood up.

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Zheng expected me to come?" said Bill Gates with a smile.

"Not really, I know we'll meet, after all, I'm also a shareholder of Microsoft, which may be hidden from others, but I definitely can't hide it from you, Mr. Gates, it's just that we met a little earlier than I expected. ”

Zheng Yan has been preparing for this meeting for a whole year, but in Zheng Yan's plan, his meeting with Bill Gates should be before and after Netscape is listed, not now. However, Zheng Yan also understands that the reason for this change should be related to the interview not long ago.

"Zheng Yan, you said it yourself, we are all shareholders of Microsoft, and we are also partners, don't you have to be so polite?"

In the eyes of technology companies in the entire Silicon Valley, Microsoft is a highly aggressive company, and Bill Gates is the aggressor in everyone's eyes, but when communicating with Zheng Yan, he seemed very casual and unconsciously changed his name for Zheng Yan.

"You're right, I'll call you Gates, after all, Bill is a bit weird to shout. Zheng Yan said and glanced at Bill Miller next to him.

Unlike the saber-rattling that saw Jim Clark and the two yesterday, the meeting between Zheng Yan and Bill Gates seemed very harmonious from the beginning, but this is also because there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two, and there are opportunities for cooperation.

"Gates, I know you like to play table tennis, I happen to have a table tennis room at home, why don't we try it out?" Zheng Yan had several guesses about Bill Gates's intentions, but Zheng Yan was not sure which reason was heavier, so he changed the topic.

"Okay, I'm going to have a bit of a game with you. "It's no secret that Bill Gates likes table tennis, and he also has some confusion about Zheng Yan, so he agreed.

Whether it is golf popular in Western high society, or olive trees, basketball, tennis, baseball, etc., which are popular in the United States, there is not one

Zheng Yan is good at it, but fortunately, Zheng Yan played table tennis quite well, and after more than half an hour, the two finally played evenly.

"Okay, let's stop fighting. Bill Gates said, waving his hand.

After all, Bill Gates is a forty-year-old middle-aged man, how can he fight with a young man in his twenties like Zheng Yan, so he first lost in terms of physical strength.

"Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it anymore. Let's go for a swim together, and it doesn't taste good to be covered in sweat. ”

This time, Zheng Yan did not ask Bill Gates' opinion, but directly took him and Bill Miller to the outdoor pool in the courtyard.

Regarding the meeting with Bill Gates, Zheng Yan had already thought about it yesterday, not only the pool had been filled with water, but also the red wine prepared by the pool.

After exercising, Zheng Yan swam back and forth in the pool and immediately felt refreshed. Then he took a glass of red wine and sat down on a chair on the shore. It didn't take long for Bill Gates to climb up as well.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that with your current worth, you can live such a leisurely life, don't you never worry about the company's affairs?"

Bill Gates saw Zheng Yan's lazy appearance and knew that this was not Zheng Yan's disguise, and Zheng Yan was used to this kind of life, so he couldn't help but feel strange.

"Gates, it's the first time you've met Zheng Yan, so you don't know him yet. I have known him since five years ago, and I joined Yanhuang Investment at that time, but since I met him, I have never seen him work seriously for even a day, not to mention work, and he didn't even bother to ask about the company's situation. ”

"The outside media has been spreading that Zheng Yan is low-key, although it is not wrong, but only those who know him know that he is not only low-key, but more because he is lazy. You may not believe it, if you weren't coming today, Zheng Yan might still be sleeping in bed at this time. ”

Zheng Yan didn't care about Bill Miller's demolition behavior at all, and said with a smile: "Bill, you don't understand this, I call it knowing how to enjoy life." Life is only a few decades, and if every day is very hard, it is not

Isn't it too boring?"

Hearing the conversation between Zheng Yan and Bill Miller, Bill Gates really refreshed his understanding of Zheng Yan. Zheng Yan is worth now, Bill Gates is not clear, but he is sure that it is definitely more than the entire Microsoft, but with Zheng Yan's mentality, how can he accumulate so much wealth?

"Zheng Yan, I'm curious, since you live so leisurely every day, how did you find some investment opportunities?

Zheng Yan has speculated about Bill Gates's intentions, although it can't be conclusively determined, but it must be related to Netscape, there is no doubt about this, and now seeing Bill Gates take the initiative to mention it, Zheng Yan is also interested.

"Gates, I said a few years ago that I am very interested in the Internet industry, but my understanding of the Internet industry is a little different from that of other people. In my opinion, whether it is a company that produces computer software and hardware, or a company that produces peripheral products, or even a mobile phone manufacturer, it belongs to the Internet-related industry. ”

"So whenever I come across a company in this area and there is an investment opportunity, I will step in. It's just that I'm lucky, so far there has been no investment failure, and I am not as godly as the outside world rumores. ”

"And because of that, I just need to know about it, and it's not difficult. Before the establishment of Yanhuang Investment, I had someone to help me collect this information, but after the establishment of Yanhuang Investment, this task was handed over to Bill, and I naturally became easy. ”

"As for investing in Netscape, that's just a coincidence. I left the U.S. in the summer of '91 and didn't come back until the end of last year, but my luck was better, I met Jim Clark, the president of Netscape in Aocheng, and it was as simple as that. ”

After listening to Zheng Yan's explanation, Bill Gates suddenly didn't know what to say. At present, Netscape is regarded as Microsoft's worst enemy, but Zheng Yan's process of becoming a shareholder of Netscape is full of drama. Could it be that Zheng Yan has really come to this point just by luck?

"Zheng Yan, maybe your investment in Netscape was accidental, and investing in Cisco and Oracle was also luck, but what about the investment in crude oil futures at the beginning?
