Chapter 14: Bill

There are several networked computers in the M University Computer Center, and Chen Bin finally walked into the computer room after giving an administrator a gift of more than 200 yuan.

IT'S A SMALL ROOM, NOT THE KIND OF BIG CLASSROOM WHERE STUDENTS TAKE CLASSES, THERE IS ONLY ONE COMPUTER HERE, BUT IT IS THE BEST COMPUTER AT THIS TIME, EQUIPPED WITH A GENUINE WIN95 SYSTEM, AND CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.

There were only Chen Bin and Xiao Yuxuan in the room, and Chen Bin skillfully turned on the phone and dialed up the Internet.

The Internet in 96 did not have so many rich URLs, and Chen Bin couldn't find many familiar things twenty years later.

Chen Bin typed Microsoft's website address into the address bar and found their platform for communication.

Chen Bin just wants to leave a message for Microsoft's Bill and sell him the prospect of 20 years of network development in his head, Chen Bin knows that the prospect in his head is very valuable, provided that Bole knows the goods. Chen Bin believes that Bill should be a Bole.

"Hello Bill, I'm a computer enthusiast from Huaxia and I have a lot of ideas to communicate with you after using your WIN95. I think you've been thinking about WIN98 or WIN2000 after you've finished WIN95. Here are some of my thoughts and comments, if you are interested, can you email me back or give me a call?"

Chen Bin wrote several comments and attached his SOHOU email and dormitory phone number to the back.

After writing, Chen Bin asked Xiao Yuxuan to help him check the sentences and words, Xiao Yuxuan's English is better than Chen Bin, and the professional vocabulary is also richer than Chen Bin.

Xiao Yuxuan carefully checked Chen Bin and admired his suggestions for improving WIN95.

"Chen Bin, who is this Bill? do you know him?" Xiao Yuxuan asked.

"Bill is the boss of Microsoft and I don't know him. Chen Bin replied.

In '96, Bill and Microsoft weren't as well-known as they were a decade later.

"You don't know how he writes to him, will he write back to you?" Xiao Yuxuan asked again.

"I'm sure he'll reply, and if he doesn't, it's his loss. ”

"Hmph, megalomaniacal, blowing the cowhide. ”

Chen Bin took a look at several other domestic websites, and then got off the plane.

A few hours later, thousands of miles away, at the computer center of Microsoft Corporation in the United States, York, the administrator, was drinking coffee and slowly flipping through the messages on the background of Microsoft's website.

Suddenly, a message from Huaxia popped up.

This was the first message from Huaxia that York had seen, so it piqued his interest. York watched slowly, then his eyes widened and he forgot to drink his coffee. Seeing the end, York immediately picked up the phone and dialed the office of the company's owner, Bill.

"Hi York. ”

"Hi Bill, I've got something interesting here, maybe you should come over and check it out. ”

"Interesting stuff, okay, I'll be right over. ”

As he walked, Bill wondered what the funny thing York was talking about, could it be that a beautiful girl who loved computers openly professed her love for him? But this was not the first time, and there had been several such incidents before.

Bill walked into York's office.

"Bill, this Huaxia guy is really amazing!" York sighed.

"Huaxia?, so powerful?" said Bill, confused.

"You'll know when you look at it. York gave up his place and asked Bill to take a closer look at the message from Huaxia.

Bill looked slowly, frowning more and more as he looked.

After he finished reading it, Bill muttered: "How can Huaxia have such a talent who understands our WIN system, he simply knows the WIN system better than us, and when we were still thinking about WIN98, he even pointed out the direction to us in WIN2000." It's just incredible. ”

"According to the website of the other party's network, I checked it, and it was the website of a computer center of a university in Huaxia. It could be a professor at a university, or a student or a cat. York laughed at the end.

"Whoever he is, I'm going to do my best to bring him to our company, he's exactly what I need the most. I'm willing to pay him a high salary. ”

"Bill, how high is the high salary you are talking about?" York asked casually.

"What do you think of the annual salary of $150,000?" Bill said after a moment's thought.

"This is an astronomical amount for the Chinese people. I've heard that their professors now earn less than $5,000 a year. York said that he was still very concerned about Huaxia. After China opened up, all kinds of news spread to the United States, and these data can also be found on the Internet.

"I'm going to give him a serious reply. "Bill wanted to do it right away.

"You can write it with me, and I will refer to it for you. York also wanted to see what Bill was saying to the mysterious Chinese.

Bill was not polite either, and wrote a reply to the Chinese people while sitting in York's seat.

"DEAR BEN, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE YOUR MESSAGE, I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT THERE WOULD BE MY SOULMATE IN HUAXIA IN THE DISTANCE. Yes, after WIN95 was completed, we started to conceive WIN98. After reading your ideas and suggestions, I realized that some of our ideas were too simple and did not fully consider the needs of customers. Your comments and suggestions are very pertinent. Thank you so much for your letter, it helped us so much.

From your letter, I can tell that you have an extraordinary vision for the future of computer systems and the Internet. Our company is in need of a talent like you, I wonder if you can come to work in our company? As long as you are willing, we will help you complete all the procedures, and we will provide you with a job with an annual salary of 150,000 US dollars, and you can sign a work contract for more than 10 years.

We are eagerly awaiting your reply.

Your best friend, Bill. ”

After the reply was written, Bill asked York to read it, and both of them felt that there was no problem, so they sent it out. Of course, I replied from the backend and sent another copy to BEN's email to ensure that the other party could see it.

The next day, Chen Bin and Xiao Yuxuan came to the computer center on time, entered the Microsoft website, and saw Bill's handwritten reply on the exchange message desk.

The content of the letter is not long, the words are not complicated, the two read it together, Xiao Yuxuan read it faster than Chen Bin, after she read it, she didn't believe what she saw, and read it again.

After reconfirming the content of the letter, Xiao Yuxuan shook Chen Bin's hand and shouted, "Oh my God, he actually asked for an annual salary of 150,000 US dollars." 150,000 US dollars is 1.2 million yuan, and our principal's salary is less than 50,000 yuan a year. Is Bill crazy, or are we crazy?"

"Bill isn't crazy, I'm not crazy, it's just that you're crazy. Chen Bin replied with a smile.

"Chen Bin, will you promise him?" Xiao Yuxuan asked nervously.

"I won't promise him. Chen Bin replied resolutely.

"It seems that you are indeed crazy. Xiao Yuxuan said.

Chen Bin didn't speak again, Bill's reaction was expected by him, and he could move on to his next plan.

"How are you going to reply to him?" Xiao Yuxuan asked curiously.

"You can see it when you look at it. ”

Bill attached his personal email address after replying, and Chen Bin naturally sent the reply directly to Bill's mailbox in order not to expose himself.

Xiao Yuxuan watched Chen Bin write a reply.

"Dear Bill, I am very happy to hear from you and thank you for inviting me to work in your company and pay me so well, it is my honor. Unfortunately, I have to decline your invitation, because I am a junior at Huaxia University, and I have the princess I am waiting for in Huaxia.

I'm glad to have you as a bosom friend, and I still have a lot of ideas and prospects that I hope to share with you. I'm sure you can see the business value of my ideas and visions. I don't hide that I hope to get some reward in your company, because I will need money and other material things to protect my princess in the future.

Although I cannot be a member of your company, I would like to be a supernumerary planning consultant of your company. I have prepared a vision of the computer and Internet field for the next 20 years, and I think it will be worth much more in the future than the value of your current company. I am willing to hand over this vision to you for a fee.

If you are interested, you can send someone to China for negotiations.

Some portions of the outlook are attached.

YOUR BEST FRIEND, BEN CHEN. ”

Xiao Yuxuan helped Chen Bin check the reply and asked, "Chen Bin, am I the princess you are waiting for?"

"Yes. Chen Bin replied very simply.

"Is Huang Xiaoyan too?"

"Yes. ”

"Will there be any other princesses?"

"Maybe. ”

"Dare to say maybe, I'll beat you maybe. ”

Xiao Yuxuan gave Chen Bin a wild beating.

"Chen Bin, will Bill send someone to talk to you?" Xiao Yuxuan was a little worried.

"He's going to send someone. ”

"And how much are you going to cost for that plan?"

"Depending on how much the other party can afford, I plan to ask for $2 million. ”

"Two million dollars? You're going crazy again. ”

"Two million dollars is actually a cheap sale, and in another three or five years, it will be worth at least ten million dollars. It's just that I'm short of money right now, so I can't wait for it to appreciate. ”

"You're crazy, and so is Bill. This is Xiao Yuxuan's assertion.
