Chapter 275: Sister (I)
Tim shook hands with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just etiquette, after all, Bill Gates is not the richest man in the world at this time, and Jobs is even more sad and ran to Pixar to make cartoons.
"Lee, Jobs, Gates, let's go out and talk. ”
"Okay," Li Mo and the three of them nodded, this is a confidential research unit, and it is not suitable for the three of them to stay for a long time.
A couple of people walked out and Tim said, "Let's go to the bar...... Lee, you're not an adult, are you? ”
Jobs and Bill Gis laughed, and he rubbed Li Mo's hair desperately, until Li Mo's hair became a mess of straw, and then he put down his hand.
Rumors say that the three are on good terms, and it seems true, Tim thought to himself.
also understood, so he took the three of them to a hotel.
Opening the room, Tim said, "Lee, your legal counsel once said that IT fascinates me, can it really form a new industrial revolution?"
Some people say no, some say yes, but if you add artificial intelligence, unmanned driving (including unmanned operation, smart factories, real smart cities), and virtual reality that may follow in the future, then no matter who you are, you must admit that this is an industrial revolution triggered by the tide of the Internet.
"Yes, and the technology is getting closer to maturity, and all that is missing is a key. ”
"Keys?"
"I call it a platform, or let's put it this way, for example, each company, because there is no securities trading market, has to fight on its own, one is all kinds of irregularities, and the other is not able to raise funds well. This is the case in today's IT-related industries, and once there is a platform, the entire IT industry will be full of vitality. ”
"Internet, you mean?"
"That's it, but it's not the network of Intel, and dismantling refers to the network of many connections. ”
"I understand why you're looking for me, and after hearing what your legal counsel said, I also have some thoughts, but I can't see the direction ahead vaguely. ”
That's where the trouble for researchers comes in.
Just like before Li Mo came through, the technology companies that were at the forefront were looking for the next breakthrough, such as unmanned driving, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. Further afield, it is playing the idea of space, space voyages, space capture and asteroid mining, and biotechnology, such as longevity, transforming immigrants to Mars, of course, that is still a bit far away, human beings themselves have not even defeated cancer and AIDS, and desertification has not been solved.
and the conflict of interests of the parties.
For example, the attack on e-commerce, many people say that it has caused serious harm to the manufacturing industry, NO...... In fact, the damage to the manufacturing industry is not so big, it hurts the real estate developers the most, especially the damage to commercial housing, followed by the banking industry. Otherwise, driven by commercial housing, real estate developers can still have a good life for several years.
Once the unmanned driving technology matures, or even the unmanned factory technology matures, the resulting conflict of interest will be even greater.
One is that there is no concrete prospect, but every research costs a lot of money, and some people even walk to the door and push it open, but because of all kinds of difficulties, he retreats.
Second, I can't see what is at stake.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs can understand, especially Jobs, who is the one who has been hurt the most.
Li Mo began to communicate with Tim formally, he was admitted to the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, although he had little time to go to school, he usually did not put down his textbook knowledge, and he made some preparations when he came, and now he cannot be regarded as a complete layman.
As the exchange deepened, what Tim said, Li Mo could not fully understand, and may understand part of it, at least it could make him continue to "pretend to be a ghost".
Tim has not yet succeeded in the research of the regional network, but it has produced a lot of technical accumulation, and many aspects are so close to the door, Li Mo said it seems to be true, but hearing it in his ears is different, Li Mo said a lot, which makes him feel deafening.
He stood up and immediately called the service desk and asked the waiter to bring paper and pen, some of what Li Mo said was too important for him.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs looked at each other, even though Li Mo went to college, he was still not a technical expert...... They can also understand that Li Mo involves too many things, too complicated, and there is no way to specialize if he wants to, but this kind of forward-looking is really powerful.
The two are also insiders, and as Li Mo communicates with Tim, they gradually join in the discussion.
One is prescient, and the other three are all top tech freaks, and they all benefit a lot from the exchange.
"No wonder you're looking for a partner......" Tim lamented.
Li Mo laughed in his heart, such a partner is not easy to find.
It was dark, and the three of them had dinner and went on.
After discussing it for a while, Tim put down the pen and said, "Lee, Jobs, Gates, you're not just here to exchange technology, right?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Jobs said: "That's the case, since Lee talked about IT and the Internet, Bill Gates and I have become interested, so we looked for relevant networks in the United States, but they were not satisfied, so Gates called Lee." It just so happened that Lee's broker had set up a brokerage company in Switzerland to recruit models from Eastern Europe, and he happened to hear some news about you in Switzerland. Lee invited us to Switzerland to discuss how to perfect the key and how to use it. ”
"Oh, Lee, how do you think you could use it?"
"Tim, I think the first condition is to think of it as an open and free platform. ”
"Where does the running money come from?" Tim obviously didn't think about it, according to the current thinking, there is no doubt that there is no charge, and even if the research and development is successful, it will not be able to promote and run.
"Tim, we just talked about various websites, do you think these websites are put on this platform, and there are so many institutions communicating on this platform, well, will there be a lack of funding? Only a free and open platform can quickly promote the arrival of Internet technology. What we did was not for profit, but for fame, and maybe the four of us would be remembered in history in the future. ”
Bill Gates and Jobs paid attention to Tim's expression, after all, at this time, it was said that it was a free and open platform, and ordinary people would not accept it.
The main reason is that Li Mo is clumsy, he just roughly describes the prospects of the future Internet, if you talk about it in detail, you can accept it, but Li Mo dares to say it? If it is not good, it will make Bill Gates and Jobs have a new interest, and he has to show up hard to put out the fire.
Tim didn't think of making a profit, even in another time and space in 93 years, he never dreamed that the Internet would be so prosperous in the future, and the funds for research and development were not from him, plus all kinds of contradictions, so he simply regarded it as a free and open platform. This unintentional move has created the arrival of the Internet boom.
It was the same at this time, although Li Mo said a lot...... As for Bill Gates and Jobs' interjections, they may have a hinting effect, but in his heart, the effect is not great, and it also makes him enlightened, but it only broadens his mind, and there is still a long way to go to achieve it.
Without thinking, he said: "That is the future, and now we must have relevant R&D funds." ”
"That's what I'm going to say......" Li Mo said.
If you invent it, you must have the right of authorship of four people, not you alone invented it, but with the help of three people, you can get more technical and financial support, in this life, Tim's research and development will not be as hard as in the previous life.
The results of the invention must be shared by four people, which may not actually be helpful to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, but it may have some helpful effect on Li Mo.
The three of them would send some technicians to come and support, and besides, from '88, in fact, a month later, the three of them would send a million dollars a year for Tim to fund R&D until '92, when the technology should have matured.
"Not so much. Tim was honest.
In his previous life, he developed the World Wide Web, which cost less than a million dollars, and even if he had the support of three people and spent money extravagantly, a few million would be enough. Li Mo said solemnly: "We have supported the funds, other people or institutions will no longer support your funds, and we do not want to have other funds injected." ”
Jobs and Bill Gates nodded, they have been persuaded by Li Mo, the picture is famous, and other funds enter, what does it count?
"Even if the research is mature, a lot of hardware needs to be purchased to keep it running, and only when it has been running for a while, and many customers and institutions can't do without it, then we don't need to inject any more money from the three of us, so we have to budget more. ”
"It's also ......" Tim didn't refuse, anyway, these three people seem to be not bad for money, and people have made it clear, the picture is famous, so do you still care about money? But after thinking about it: "Fifteen million, you are really willing." ”
"Tim, don't mind, Li has always been very willing to be optimistic about what he is optimistic about, he was optimistic about our Microsoft at the beginning, and Shengsheng estimated the market value of our Microsoft by five or six times and forcibly entered. Optimistic about Cisco, it was estimated five or six times higher, and forcibly entered. Li Mo has some advanced ideas, which have made a lot of contributions to Microsoft and Cisco. Bill Gates said: "And Lee's people are really good, he joined Cisco, and would rather invite venture capital to enter than forcibly kick the founder of Cisco out of management." ”
Li Mo had a variety of plans for letting the Metasequoia Fund in.
But no one else knows, and those who know the inside story praise Li Mo for doing benevolence and righteousness.
Otherwise, it would be the turn of the Bossacks to jump? No, it makes sense to force capital in, and Cisco's business volume has surged, and to raise a second fund.
Metasequoia funds are spending more money, but some people still envy their good luck, a company that is about to go public, isn't it worth spending some money?
"I said yes, too," Tim hugged Limer again.
The next day, the four of them discussed it for a while, and each went back, and a few days later, their lawyers met again to sign the contract, but it was not profitable, and the contract was easier to negotiate.
Li Mo quickly returned to the magic capital, a little happy in his heart, and thought in his heart, it seems that he has to pay attention to the next time he speaks, otherwise he will not be able to get it right, and even he will be trapped. The plane landed at the airport, and Li Mo came to the airport customs with simple luggage, and several staff members only took a look at it before letting it go. This shows that as more people go abroad, the inspection is loose, unlike the beginning, Li Mo went out, and even his pants had to be turned out to take a look. Uncle Qin picked him up and complained about Li Mo in the car, if you go abroad, whether you take him or Uncle Liang, you must always take someone out, what if something happens?
"That's so dangerous, take one of you next time," Li Mo said with a smile, this stay was not long, and the impact of the jet lag was not great, Li Mo directly asked Uncle Qin to pull him to school.
When it was time to eat at noon, Hao Junlin's "rival in love" came over with a rice bowl.
He looked at Li Mo condescendingly: "What kind of leader should your father be?"
"My dad was not a leader, he was an ordinary farmer. ”
"Do you know what my dad is the leader of the agricultural industry?"
"I don't know. ”
"My dad ......" he thought about it and didn't say, what if he was younger than Li Mo's father, this guy often skips class, and the school doesn't care, so the possibility is so small, he didn't report his father's official position, and said, "Do you want to shelter Hao Junlin?"
Li Mo wondered in his heart, you robbed Hao Junlin's girlfriend, and I didn't say anything, but I just comforted Hao Junlin, and asked Hao Junlin and the little fat man to go down for an internship, why did you come up with this question?
"I don't understand what you're talking about? But I warn you that in the future, there will be a saying among the people that there will be three second generations, the son of an official is called the second generation of officials, the son of a rich man is called the rich second generation, and there is a second generation, called the second generation of the pit, and those who go to prison for their parents are specially pitted. ”
