Text Chapter 695 Shares, or Perdition?

Never seen such a brazen person!

This is the only thought of Bill Gates and the others at this time, they are really shocked by James White's shamelessness - this is a master. U8???? .?U?8?X?S`COM

Also, to be able to say that "blackmail" is so righteous and bright as "cooperation", the most important thing is that the face is not red and the heart is not beating, I have to say that this is a "great master" in the shameless world.

However, who is not an "old driver" here, although shocked by James White's shamelessness, is barely acceptable.

After watching James White's "performance", Bill Gates pondered for a while and said, "I don't know how Dream Times Technology wants to cooperate with our Microsoft?"

Without the slightest cover-up, James White directly put forward his own conditions: "We want to use this system as an investment to invest in Microsoft." ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and several people on Microsoft's side, except for Bill Gates, all whispered to each other in an emotional mood, apparently upsetting James White's request. Compared with the restlessness of several other people, Bill Gates has always been quite calm, because James White's request was expected by him, so there is nothing to be surprised about.?? ?

Ignoring the restless others, Bill Gates continued to ask, "How many shares does Dream Times Tech want?"

“10%!”

, as James White highlighted this number, the entire Microsoft side blew up directly this time, and even Bill Gates was a little gloomy. There's no way, it's really too much of the other party's conditions, it's just extortion + robbery.

You know, Microsoft's market capitalization is about $20 billion, and 10% is worth $2 billion, which is really a bit outrageous.

"No way, the price is so high that neither I nor Microsoft's shareholder meeting will agree to it. Bill Gates looked at James White coldly, and then said coldly: "What's more, do you think that this operating system with our Microsoft program as the core is really so valuable? You know, he probably doesn't even have a chance to go public, because once your dream times puts it on the market, then the huge amount of infringement compensation is not something you can afford." ”

As soon as he heard that Bill Gates meant to scare himself, James White was not convinced, he really thought that Lao Tzu was a vegetarian, 8 ?? . U?8?X?S?`C?OM

"Is it high? Compared to Microsoft, I want 10% of the shares, which is not high at all. James White sneered, and then continued: "Since I am looking for Microsoft, it means that I will not use this operating system software for commercial profit. Mr. Bill Gates, if I release this program for free, what do you think will happen then?"

Rumble......

This sentence exploded in the minds of Bill Gates and Microsoft's decision-makers, and this is what they are most worried about. Once this situation really happens, it will be absolutely devastating for Microsoft, and it may even directly destroy Microsoft.

There was no way, Steve Ballmer could only forcibly argue: "Our Microsoft's new generation of operating system has also been developed, and even if you release it for free without follow-up maintenance, it will not affect us too much." ”

"Really?" James White smiled coldly, and then said, "In that case, then we have nothing to talk about, we can try." ”

After speaking, James White made eye contact with his subordinates, stood up, and was about to leave.

I wiped it, and when I saw the actions of James White and others, Microsoft's side was in a big hurry, should they be irritable, and they would leave the game if they didn't agree? Besides, this is not a negotiation, naturally it is necessary to talk slowly, how can there be a sentence that doesn't make sense, just break up?—— it's really too child's play.

Looking at James White and others who were about to go out, Steve Ballmer's forehead was sweating, and he blamed himself for saying this, if it was really because of himself that the negotiations broke down and Microsoft embarked on a dead end, he really couldn't afford this responsibility. However, looking at Bill Gates, who looked calm, seemed to have no intention of calling them back at all, and Steve Ballmer, who was full of anxiety, could only cry out in vain - this "historical sinner" seemed to be deserved.

When James White and the others were completely gone, Steve Ballmer hurriedly asked Bill Gates: "Bill, what do you mean? Aren't you really afraid that they will release this system for free? You know, in that case, we at Microsoft will really be finished." ”

Yes, don't look at Steve Ballmer like that, but he and everyone knows very well that it's just a forcible justification. Because, the current Microsoft has not dominated the market for many years like later generations, so that users can't quit them at all, and Microsoft at this time is just a "quasi-giant" that has just become a trend.

Once Dream Times Technology releases this system for free, there will be countless technical cafes for users to upgrade and maintain for free, and there will be no such situation as Ballmer said.

After a long while, Bill Gates said slowly: "It's okay, since the other party has found us, it means that they will never release this system software for free unless they have to." ”

"Rest assured, soon, we will continue to make it to the negotiating table. ”

As Bill Gates said, the two sides were soon back at the negotiating table.

This time, James White was still very resolute, and even said directly - "If you don't sell your shares, you will die".

Eventually, Bill Gates pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. White, I can accept your request to take a stake in Microsoft with technology, but 10% is absolutely impossible." ”

This is the attitude of negotiation, James White thought for a while, and said, "How much stake is Microsoft willing to give away?"

"We're valuing your software at $400 million, which shouldn't be a low price, right? So, we can only sell 2% of the shares at most! We can even buy it directly in cash. ”

Well, this is a negotiation, the sky-high asking price is to pay back the money on the spot, Bill Gates directly gave James White's offer a slash to the ankle - directly from 10% to 2%, and he also wants to use money to settle things, it's really dark.

"Impossible......"
