Han Xuan and Anya ended their daily bickering, which looked like flirting to others. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Mrs. Gates just smiled and listened, probably remembering that she had such a playmate, with a bright smile on her face and a little nostalgia.

There are two restaurants in Bill's house, with the large restaurant being able to accommodate more than 100 people at the same time.

Another small restaurant can only seat twenty or thirty people, but in terms of the degree of luxury decoration, the small restaurant is even better.

Through the window, you can see the whole landscape of Lake Washington, and the lake is lit up, and the night view is beautiful.

During the meal, Bill Gates himself rushed back from a meeting.

Although I heard that Han Xuan's company has developed a desktop operating system, which is the be-os he once paid attention to, and a new notebook with this operating system will be launched in the near future.

But Bill is not worried about this, and now Microsoft has a market value of more than $500 billion, capturing the vast majority of the world's desktop operating system market, and at most there is one more Apple.

He has sold most of Microsoft's shares one after another, and the two have no entanglements of interests, not to mention that at their value, money is just a number to compare, so the table is very happy.

The couple loved the two uninvited guests, and Bill even opened a bottle of red wine that had been treasured for many years.

Romani Conti in 1945, who has a history of more than 50 years, knew that Han Xuan would occasionally drink some, because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to decant naturally, so he could only shake it quickly with a decanter.

Dinner featured a selection of three courses.

First up is smoked guinea fowl salad, the main course is Alaskan halibut with prawns, and a dessert butter almond cake.

After enjoying his dinner, Bill turned sideways and took out a small red metal box about 3.5 centimeters long and 5 centimeters high from his briefcase, held it and smiled:

"This new product from HOPE Technology is very interesting, and sometimes on the way to the company, I also use it to listen to music.

I heard that Steve Jobs is also preparing to develop this kind of product now, I watched the Apple conference at the end of last year, you won't have already licensed it to him, right?

I suggest you don't do that, Apple has been suing me for Microsoft infringement recently, and I'm very happy to be uncomfortable to see Steve Jobs......"

Bill is taking the epoch-making new product iHOPE, which was released at the end of September last year and just launched in February this year, a removable music player with AA batteries (No. 5 battery).

Due to the limitations of technological development, the memory of this product can be described as pitiful, and it can only store more than 20 songs at most.

If you want to change the song, you also need to use the computer to delete the songs stored in it before you can change it to another mp3 format song.

Since the day it was released, ihope has received a lot of attention.

Since February, more than 80,000 units have been sold in North America for a whopping $399, and it has become a trend, just like when the Blueberry phone first hit the market.

Hope Technology Co., Ltd. can be described as a well-deserved leader in this emerging industry, it not only has many patents for key technologies for manufacturing music players, but also patents for MP3 format.

Han Xuan had the foresight to go to Germany to acquire this patent very early, and now anyone who wants to develop it has to bypass Han Xuan first, which is why Bill Gates asked him not to license it to Jobs.

He also had people contact the Recording Industry Association of America and spent nearly $36 million to buy the electronic rights to the association's existing music for 20 years.

And within five years, 3.2 million US dollars a year will be delivered, and the electronic rights of the latest music of the year will be obtained, forming an iMusic online store similar to that of iTunes in the future.

Now on the Recording Industry Association of America, no one cares about electronic copyright, and no one can imagine how big a market it will be in the future, so Han Xuan has picked up a big bargain in vain.

Nowadays, downloading music from iMusic is still free, and pigs have to wait until they are fattened before they can have meat......

"It's just a test of the waters, and it looks pretty good right now.

By the time the next generation is released, I want it to be able to store at least 70 songs, with lower power consumption and longer playback times.

New products are being developed and may not be available until next year, and breakthroughs have been made in the most critical memory technology, but it will take time to go into mass production.

Jobs called me, but I'm not going to agree for a while, they should find a way to get around my patent, but that will take a long time.

After a period of time, I will not consider licensing other manufacturers.

Mr. Gates, is the patent lawsuit between Microsoft and Apple still going on?"

Han Xuan and the others are on their way to Bill's study to see the whale shark at the moment.

There were many famous paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor, and seeing that Anya liked it, they often stopped to look at it, so they slowed down and followed her, not in a hurry.

Everyone knows the feud between Microsoft and Apple.

Apple was the first to introduce the Windows operating system, and when Bill Gates saw its value, he followed up with a similar system called Windows.

One says it's plagiarism, the other says it's innovation.

The two companies have been arguing over this for more than ten years, and they have not come to a conclusion, and they are still fighting lawsuits, and it is said that Jobs was still a fan of Bill Gates.

When Bill heard Han Xuan mention this, his expression was a little helpless, he raised his arm and pushed his glasses, and said, "Well, I've been thinking about reconciling privately recently."

Apple is in financial crisis, and their funds are being used to develop a new generation of iMac.

Mr. Jobs contacted me and said that if I would inject $200 million and buy five percent of Apple's stock, he would drop the lawsuit against Microsoft.

I said that I would implant Microsoft's office software into Apple's operating system, and I should be close to reaching an agreement. ”

Under the influence of Han Xuan, Jobs returned to Apple two years early, but history does not seem to have changed much.

He is still cleaning up the mess left by the former management in the more than ten years since he left the company, trying to save Apple, which is now only worth about $3.5 billion, with little effect.

Some people have already discussed in private whether Jobs is a talented man......

At this moment, Han Xuan said: "Maybe I should buy some Apple shares."

Once this news is announced, Apple's stock price will definitely rise, and it is impossible for Jobs to let go of this opportunity to promote it. ”

"You're right, my Waterfall Fund is also preparing to buy a small batch of Apple shares.

I was told that the next-generation IMAC is pretty good and should be doing well.

Your company's notebook is also good, but unfortunately HOPE Technology Company is not listed, why don't I use Microsoft's shares and exchange it with you?

I'll depreciate 10 percent of the price and exchange it with you?"

"Hah!

You're planting a commercial spy in my company! I've caught you!"

Han Xuan deliberately made a fuss and took the opportunity to change the topic.

Exchanging shares with Microsoft, what are you kidding, Hope Technology is still a thriving sunrise enterprise, Microsoft is already hanging in mid-air, and when the anti-monopoly spin-off and the Internet bubble crisis come, the market value will plummet.

Hope Technology has both virtual and physical businesses, and its ability to resist risks is much stronger than Microsoft's.

Bill Gates thought that the conditions he gave were already good, and when he saw that the teenager looked away, he knew that there was no way to reach an agreement.

reluctantly led him and Anya into his study.

As soon as the door opened, the lights lit up on their own, and his house used some modern technology, such as solar energy.

A glass wall more than 20 meters long and more than 20 meters high was imprinted in Han Xuan's eyes.

In the pale blue waters, a juvenile whale shark swims slowly, followed by dolphins, turtles and other animals.

Even though he had heard about it from the newspaper, Han Xuan was still jealous at the moment.

The aquarium was bigger and better than his own, and seeing Bill's smug expression, he wondered if he was going to renovate his villa in Gamble.

Then raise a blue whale directly as an ornamental fish...... (To be continued.) )
