Chapter 23 is the Microsoft of Longwangshu
The next day, Zhang Heng, Steve Jobs, and Steve Wozniak approached a well-known local law firm to help them draft a contract for Apple's shares.
Among them, Zhang Heng asked to specifically indicate that if Apple is financing in the future, he has the right to inject capital to ensure his share ratio.
Jobs didn't take Zhang Heng's request to heart, he thought that with Zhang Heng's $3 million in funds, Apple's development and growth would be great.
Even if it is financed in the future, it will be hundreds of millions of dollars in financing, and Jobs believes that even if Zhang Heng invests millions of dollars at that time, he will not be able to guarantee the proportion of his shares.
It was this careless thought that made Jobs regret it every time he thought about it.
After signing the contract, the three of them happily drank a cup of coffee together to celebrate Apple's new life.
After that, the two sides said hello to each other and parted.

………………
Microsoft, an American multinational technology company, is also the world's PC (Personal Computer) software development pioneer, founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1975
Zhang Heng immediately invested in Apple, of course he would not let go of Microsoft, but Zhang Heng didn't know Bill Gates and Paul Allen, so he couldn't just run over and say that he wanted to invest in their Microsoft company
At this time, Zhang Heng remembered that his cousin also graduated from Harvard University in the United States, and he should know Bill Gates as an alumnus of the same class.
So Zhang Heng made a transatlantic phone call, and asked in a gentle tone of concern, "Hey, cousin, have you eaten?"
Zhang Xinyi knows very well that her cousin is a person who has nothing to do, is either a traitor or a thief, and said angrily, "You bastard didn't call me when he went out to play, and now he still has the face to call over, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go." ”
"It's nothing, I just want to ask if you knew a person named Bill Gates when you were studying at Harvard," Zhang Heng said with a hippie smile
"Yes, but I don't know him well," Zhang Xinyi replied on the other end of the phone
Zhang Heng was very disappointed when he heard this.
As a result, Zhang Xinyi gasped and said, "I don't know Bill Gates, but my good friend Steve Ballmer is a good friend of Bill Gates." ”
Steve Ballmer!!
This person Zhang Heng still knows, this person is a very powerful person, he served as the CEO and president of Microsoft until 2013
Zhang Heng gossiped about their relationship, it turned out that Ballmer was in her cousin's first year at Harvard University, and she met Ballmer when she was a cheerleader on the school football team, and Ballmer was also the captain of the school football team at that time.
Zhang Heng asked Zhang Xinyi for Steve Ballmer's contact and asked her to help talk to Steve Ballmer
Zhang Heng passed through Steve Ballmer, and three days later, Zhang Heng finally met Bill Gates, the world's richest man, who was famous in the future, and when he knew that the purpose of Zhang Heng's trip was to invest in his Microsoft company, Bill Gates did not agree at first.
Bill Gates was born in Seattle, HSD, on the west coast of the United States. His father, William Henry Gates, was a well-known local lawyer, his mother, Mary Gates, was a director of HSD University, a director of the banking system, and president of the United Way International. W. Maxwell was the Governor of the National Bank
So his family's financial situation is very good, and he is not short of funds to develop his company at present.
Zhang Heng didn't say anything, just took out a plan and handed it to Bill Gates to show him.
Bill Gates didn't pay attention to it at first, just looked at it out of politeness, but the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became, until he finally slapped the table and stood up and anxiously asked who made this plan, which was simply tailor-made for Microsoft.
At this time, Steve Ballmer said a Chinese idiom on the side
"Far away, close at hand"
"Oh, God can't believe it, I don't mean anything else, Zhang you are such a genius, come to our Microsoft, we need you. ”
It turned out that Zhang Heng knew the future development direction of Microsoft very clearly, so Zhang Heng showed the future development direction of Microsoft in the form of a plan.
"Mr. Gates, I'm sorry, I have my own business, but we can work together to develop Microsoft's potential, and if we can work together, I can be Microsoft's business consultant," Zhang Heng said
"Then how does Mr. Zhang plan to cooperate?"
"I invested $3 million in Microsoft and acquired a 45% stake in Microsoft, and I served as a management consultant to Microsoft.
When the time comes, you will be in charge of technology, and I will be in charge of management, and we will be able to grow Microsoft together."
Bill Gates listened, and said, "It's impossible, it means you're going to be Microsoft's biggest shareholder." ”
Then the two began a war of words, and finally Bill Gates said, "Mr. Zhang, I need to think about it." I also have a partner to make big decisions that need to be discussed between the two of us."
Zhang Heng said: "I know, no problem, so let's take this plan back to Mr. Paul Allen to see." ”
Then the two exchanged addresses and contact information, shook hands and separated.
When Bill Gates got home, he couldn't wait to call Paul Allen.
Paul Allen came to Bill Gates' house, Bill Gates told Paul Allen about today's events, and then handed him Zhang Heng's plan.
Paul Allen closed his eyes and thought about it after reading the whole plan.
After a while, Paul Allen opened his eyes and said, "This plan is very powerful, I think I can agree to that person's conditions." ”
Bill Gates said, "But in this case, our stake will be reduced, and Zhang will become the largest shareholder of Microsoft."
"What's the use of owning all the shares if we can't grow our Microsoft!" Paul Allen advised
"As for what you said about his stake being too big, we can dilute his stake through financing in the future."
"Okay," Bill Gates said helplessly
…………
The next day, Bill Gates called Zhang Heng, and the two agreed on a location, Bisha Cafe.
The two of them asked for a cup of coffee and started talking.
The two of them have a love for you and a willingness, and they quickly reached an agreement.
It was still the same law firm, it was still the same contract, it was still the same carelessness, and the two of them signed the contract quickly. Then I found a place to celebrate.
Zhang Heng returned to the hotel room, he was very excited, the two golden mountains in the future were in hand, but unfortunately no one could share this happiness with him, Zhong Chuhong was still angry with himself, sleeping with Chen Yulian, and somehow, what it was like for two people to sleep together came to his mind. Thinking of this, Zhang Heng tossed and turned even more, and did not fall asleep until two o'clock in the middle of the night.
