Stanford University is the only university that has continuously cultivated talents in the IT industry in this era, and is highly valued by major companies.

Every year, outstanding graduates are snatched by IBM, Oracle, Apple and other companies, and the typical monks have more porridge and less porridge, resulting in continuous increase in wages, even if they give high salaries, they may not necessarily recruit people, and there are too few practitioners in this industry at present.

Today is the anniversary of Stanford University, it is not surprising to meet Bill Gates, although Microsoft Corporation has its headquarters in Seattle in the north, and Gates also lives in Seattle on weekdays, but Microsoft has an office in Silicon Valley, and many Silicon Valley companies have business dealings.

Su Mu stopped, pushed his bicycle to Bill Gates, and asked him loudly, "Do you need help? Mr. Gates!"

Gates, who was standing alone on the grass and bending down to look for something, straightened up and closed one eye, realizing that he didn't know Su Mu, and said with a smile: "I lost a lens, I don't dare to go now, I'm afraid I'll step on it, do you know me?"

After parking the car, Sumu replied, "Yes, I saw your photo in the newspaper some time ago, Microsoft Corporation, right, it's a cool company." ”

"Thank you...... Chinese boy. It would be great if you could help me find the lenses, it might have flown away just now, you have to be careful when you walk, my spare glasses are still in Seattle. ”

As a typical representative of the "nerd counterattack", Gates does not have the domineering personality of Jobs, he seems to be very easy to get along with, and his tone is very helpless.

Using only one eye to find the lens, the scene looks hilarious.

When Su Mu recalled that he heard on the radio that he would be worth more than $90 billion in the future, it was even more interesting.

The original words I heard on the radio that day were: "Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, an online shopping e-commerce company with a net worth of 100 billion US dollars, has become the richest man in the world for the first time, and his wealth has reached 112 billion US dollars this year! An increase of 39.2 billion US dollars over 2017, the largest increase in wealth in one year in history!"

"Bill Gates, who has been the world's richest man eighteen times in the past 24 years, is second on the Forbes list of the world's billionaires this year, with a fortune of $90 billion, compared with $86 billion last year, an increase in the largest wealth gap between first and second place since 2001. ”

"Warren Buffett, who is worth $84 billion, has fallen to third place, and his net wealth is still up from $75.6 billion in 2017, and Berkshire Hathaway's market value has increased by ...... again."

That was the first time Su Mu heard about Bill Gates on the radio.

The astronomical figure of 90 billion US dollars is enough for him to deeply remember Gates, which are all Chinese programs, and there is very little news related to the United States.

At the time, I didn't think there was anything, I just thought it was fake news made up by a radio program, but later I found out that it was very likely to be true, and I won the sports bet twice in a row, coupled with non-existent songs, chat methods that did not conform to the times, and the greatly changed political landscape, which had already made Su Mu believe that it was a message from the future.

I regret that during that time, I only focused on listening to interesting programs, missing out on a lot of useful information, and I don't know if I will listen to weird radio programs again in the future.

Since there is only a little bit of valuable information about the United States, in fact, it is okay to go to China for development, but Su Mu thought about it carefully afterwards, and unexpectedly found that the only thing he could think of seemed to be Fang!

When it comes to a certain place, the host will talk about how the house price is, whether it has risen or fallen, the increase in tax rates and purchase restrictions, etc., so that he feels that it is necessary to invest in real estate when he has money......

In the past, I occasionally heard of Bill Gates, but today I finally met a living person, Su Mu naturally will not miss a good opportunity to meet him, and he also wants to develop in the Silicon Valley area in the future, and there is absolutely no harm in managing more contacts.

Seeing a reflective object from the grass, like glass, Su Mu bent down to pick up the glasses lenses, faced Gates and said, "Here, I'll help you find it, sir." ”

People who are not short-sighted, never know how uncomfortable it will be without glasses, probably like half a blind man, looking around is blurry, Gates happily took the lens, took off his glasses and began to install them, and kept saying: "Thank you, thank you so much, I've been looking for a long time, the grass here is very deep." ”

"It's not far from you, and the more you try to find it, it's hard to find, like my pen, sometimes I find it after looking for a long time, and it's actually sandwiched in a book. ”

Su Mu said casually, his eyes were bright, and he stared at Bill Gates's young face without blinking.

I really want to understand how this ordinary-looking guy can be worth more than $90 billion after more than 30 years, and even if the dollar depreciates, this is a very, very terrible wealth.

He doesn't know how much money Gates is standing in front of him, but he certainly doesn't have Li Zhekai's father, or Wang An, who founded Wang An's computer, has money, Microsoft has not yet gone public, according to the information found by Su Mu, Microsoft's sales last year were only more than 70 million US dollars, and the profit was as high as more than 20 million US dollars.

In 1980, Microsoft bought the rights to the QDOS operating system from a programmer in Seattle for $50,000 and rewrote it as Disk Operating System Software (MS-DOS).

With the popularization of IBM computers, the MS-DOS operating system was initially successful, and it began to fight against Apple's desktop operating system.

At this time, Gates was not Bill Gates, who had been the richest man in the world for so many years, and when he saw Su Mu's sparkling eyes, he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, thinking that he had thought of something, and said: "I'm sorry, I really should mean it." ”

After speaking, he reached out and took out his pocket, found twenty dollars from a few bills, handed it to Su Mu and continued: "I invite you to eat, thank you for your help." ”

Su Mu reacted at this time, shook his head and refused, "It's okay, I can't take your money, do I want to go to Stanford?" ”

Gates looked in the direction of Su Mu's finger, and said to Lehe: "OK, I'll ride it to carry you?" I also had a bicycle before I was twenty years old, and then I changed to a car when I became an adult, take the money, it's your reward." ”

"No, I'm already in business, and this time I'm here to study in Silicon Valley and study the market. ”

Su Mu paused, tried his best to pretend to be mature, and asked Bill Gates with a serious expression: "If I want to buy one percent of Microsoft's shares, how much will it cost?"
