United States

People only know that he and Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft, but they forget that it was he who introduced Bill Gates into the software industry, and that he is such an elite in the software industry, a visionary pioneer, a high-roller who spends a lot of money for fun, and a business tycoon who always fails to invest but successfully accumulates huge fortunes, but he is creating a legend -- he owns 40% of Microsoft's shares.

For the software overlord Microsoft company, there is no one who uses computers who do not know, and the name of Chairman Bill Gates is well known to women and children, but the credit is not Gates alone, Gates founded only 60% of Microsoft, and the rest belongs to Paul Allen, Paul Allen's father's work provides him with good reading conditions, he is an assistant administrator of the University of Washington Library, because of this unique condition, Allen has read many books, including science fiction and computer knowledge, which may be the key to his success.

There is a saying in the Jewish classic "Talmud": Living with wolves, you can only learn to howl, and if you come into contact with those good people, you will be well influenced, and according to this reasoning, if two excellent people can walk together and influence each other, they will definitely do a feat. Undoubtedly, Paul Allen and Bill Gates have best confirmed this statement.

When 12-year-old Gates met Alan at Seattle Lakeside Middle School in the United States, Allen impressed Gates with his rich knowledge, and Gates's computer talent made Allen admire, and that's it, the two became good friends, and then entered the computer kingdom together, Allen is a person who likes technology, so he focuses on Microsoft's new technologies and new ideas, Gates is business-oriented, salesman, technical leader, lawyer, The two founders of Microsoft worked together to set off a software revolution that has not been going on to this day.

Now with Wang Zifan intervening, the two encountered the first problem in their lives.

Wang Zifan's agent is also the manager of the Kowloon Bank, at this time he is sitting in front of Bill Gates, Paul Allen, it is really not easy to find these two young people, now there is no search software, he can only find friends, headhunters, and even detectives to help, in the United States around a big circle, only to learn that two young people moved Microsoft to a small town near Seattle.

Explaining his intentions, Manager Lin began to wait quietly for a reply.

At first hearing, Paul thought the other party was joking, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you mean someone has taken a fancy to our company?

Manager Lin smiled: "Yes, I have already asked a lawyer to draw up the contract, if the two of you have no opinion, you can sign it at any time!"

Bill Gates said lightly: "I think you misunderstood, we don't want to sell the company!"

Paul said, "Of course!"

Manager Lin said confidently: "You two don't want to hear the price?"

Bill Gates stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm busy!"

Manager Lin said: "Twenty million US dollars!"

"What?" Paul said, dumbfounded, his eyes wide, "Did I hear me right, ten million dollars?"

Manager Lin looked smug and said with a smile: "Yes, you heard it right!"

Bill Gates shook his head.

Paul joked, "Gates, we can start over with this money!"

Bill Gates said: "If he agrees, I have no problem!"

Manager Lin hurriedly said: "Of course not, we acquired Microsoft mainly because of two talents!"

Gates and Paul glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and said in unison: "Then there is no way!"

This is completely different from what I imagined! Manager Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile: "I think we should negotiate in a different way!"

Bill Gates said seriously: "Listen, sir, we don't want to sell our company! At least not at the moment!"

"And we're not going to sell the company to someone who doesn't know how to use computers!" Paul said.

Manager Lin smiled, thinking that there is no one in Hong Kong who knows more about computers than Wang Zifan, and explained: "I don't know anything, my boss is also a computer enthusiast, and each person in his company has a computer!"

"Really?" said Bill Gates, looking a little interested.

Manager Lin smiled: "And he also said that computers will enter tens of millions of homes like televisions, the current computers are too backward, they should have their own operating systems, and he urgently needs more advanced computer technology, so he decided to invest in Microsoft, and by the way, he also set up a computer stunt company, which is like the industrial magic light company that made "Star Wars". ”

"It's not uncommon for a lot of people in the United States to think this way," Paul said.

Bill Gates mused, "I'd like to talk to him about what he thinks about computers!"

Paul was surprised: "Gates, you?"

Bill Gates shook his head slowly, saying that he was so easy to succumb, he was attracted by the sentence just now that the computer should have its own operating system, this is not like a layman's words, the current Microsoft is far from developing to this point, can only do some simple program systems, the main way to make money is the interpreter, there is no technical difficulty, anyone can do it!

Now Microsoft company to modify the basic program as the main business, to sell the basic interpreter, many computer enthusiasts on the market also often develop their own small basic interpreter, and free distribution, fortunately are retail investors, no organization, so that the new Microsoft can survive, and slowly occupy the market.

Because Microsoft is one of the few commercial manufacturers of basic interpreters, many home computer manufacturers use Microsoft basic interpreters in their systems, with the rapid growth of Microsoft basic interpreters, manufacturers began to use Microsoft basic syntax and other features to ensure compatibility with existing Microsoft products, it is because of this cycle, Microsoft basic has gradually become a recognized market standard, if someone with a lot of money to join, it will be a devastating blow to Microsoft!

Manager Lin said with a smile: "We can acquire part of the equity of Microsoft, and the investment of funds will not affect the management of the company!"

Paul took the initiative to ask, "How many shares are you going to buy with how much money?"

Manager Lin said: "5 million US dollars to acquire 40% of the shares, this should not be too much!"

Bill Gates whispered a few words to Paul and proposed, "Before that, I want to talk to your boss!"

Manager Lin said: "He's in Hong Kong!"

Bill Gates insisted: "We can't let a 'stranger' become a shareholder of the company!"

Manager Lin said: "Before I came, the boss said that he was only responsible for investment and would not intervene in the management of the company, and in the future, when Microsoft went public, he would unreservedly support Mr. Gates! Of course, your refusal cannot stop the boss's determination to the computer, and he will reconsider the plan, such as Apple, or invest in a computer company."

Paul tasted: "Look! your reputation has spread abroad!"

Bill Gates smiled bitterly: "It seems that he really investigated us, what do you think, Paul?"

Paul mused: "If you don't want to add a competitor, it's better to cooperate, but it's impossible to make him the largest shareholder!"

"You're right!" Bill Gates didn't want to lose his controlling stake either, so he turned to Manager Lin: "If what you just said is true, Paul and I are willing to accept capital injection, but the stake cannot be higher than 20%"

Manager Lin frowned, feeling that the conditions of this small company were too much, and said strongly: "At least 40%!"

Paul shook his head and said, "Listen to my friend, it's impossible! Up to 25%!"

Bill Gates said seriously: "This is already our bottom line!"

Manager Lin stood up and said, "I have to call our boss!"

“ok！”

"Please!"

……

Bill Gates frowned and said, "Allen, didn't we just say that we would each give up 10% of the shares, why do you want to?"

Paul smiled wryly, "Because I'm short of money!"

Bill Gates looked helpless and said, "Are you still dating that supermodel?"

Paul said, "No, damn it, Gates, I might have a different condition! It would cost a lot of money!"

Bill Gates said, "I see!"

"Both!"

Manager Lin came back with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the two of you, our boss agreed to this deal and invested $3 million to acquire 25% of the equity!"

Bill Gates said, "I personally invested two million dollars!"

Manager Lin was stunned for a moment, put away his thoughts, and continued: "That's no problem, our boss is also willing to inject capital!"

Hong Kong

The acquisition of 25% of Microsoft's equity for $3 million is indeed quite exciting, but Wang Zifan was not carried away by joy, although Microsoft is very profitable, but after all, the surname is Wang, since Bill Gates can make Microsoft, why can't he register a computer company in Hong Kong, even if he can't make Microsoft, it is at least stronger than Huawei and Xiaomi, and since he is a shareholder of Microsoft, he also has the right to send people to the company and not participate in the company's major decisions, but it should not be difficult to dig into the corners and learn technology!

After thinking for a while, Wang Zifan slowly sketched out a blueprint, the only regret is that he can't find the right talent, Hong Kong is not as good as the United States, there are all kinds of talents in universities, Hong Kong is a British colony, there are not many universities, and they are all liberal arts, a small number of talents who have made breakthroughs in their studies will eventually choose to study abroad, or even stay abroad to work, and want to find computer talents in Hong Kong, it is more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack!

You can't find it in Hong Kong, but you can try another place!

Wang Zifan looked at the north, although the mainland has just been reformed and opened up, poor and white, but there is no shortage of talents, the current computer is a branch of mathematics, and in mathematics, the mainland also has a genius like Hua Luogeng, and even the existence of juvenile classes in the university, to recruit these talents to cultivate well, and the computer and the Internet will be his world in the future!

Besides, now is the right time to invest in the mainland! Wang Zifan has freed himself from fantasy, how can he spend so much money? )
