"Gates, Microsoft is about to go on a roadshow?"

"It's coming. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In fact, the two also talk on the phone from time to time, and the time difference in New York is thirteen hours, and it is a little difficult to talk to each other on the phone, but Seattle and Los Angeles are basically in the same time zone, with a difference of nine hours, so it is more convenient to make a call. Li Mo hit at noon, which side was around nine o'clock in the evening, and he hadn't fallen asleep yet.

But at this time, there were serious problems in China's telephone lines, and from time to time they would give you a serial number or a blind tone, so that Bill Gates couldn't help but complain about China, and Li Mo couldn't distinguish it, so he had to listen silently.

Bill Gates is not right, every month because of these reasons, he pays an average of twenty or thirty dollars more than twenty or thirty dollars in phone bills.

"Lee, you're an alien, you're God. ”

"Gates, don't compromise me. Li Mo looked at his fiery eyes and was frightened by the cute baby.

"Lee, Apple really got you right. ”

"When did I say Apple?"

"It's not that you're talking about Apple, it's the technology ......," Bill Gates said why.

In the eighties, the computer software industry was not too popular, and no one even cared. However, many people attach great importance to hardware, including the communication industry and PCs, such as Apple Computer, Tiandi Company, Taylor Company, Wang An Computer Company, Ferrum Computer Company, Lom Company, MCI, etc. The rise of brands such as HP, Compaq, and Dell is a story of the late 80s and early 90s.

As early as '75, Steve Jobs and the technical genius Wozny Ek founded Apple, and in '76 Apple introduced the first PC with only one motherboard to the market, priced at $666, but sold only 100 units. Jobs approached Mike Makura, Intel's former marketing manager, who invested $91,000 in Apple, with each of them holding a 30 percent stake and the rest a staff allotment.

The following year, Steve Jobs redefined the PC: monitors, keyboards, drives, motherboard slots, power supply cases.

No matter what he thinks of Apple, but Li Mo definitely has a positive attitude towards Jobs, this kind of intelligence and imagination is no less than the "master", whether it is a PC or a later smart phone, Jobs has to account for at least 30% of the credit.

According to his definition, it took Wozny Aike two weeks to design the floppy disk drive, and the second generation of Apple appeared, and it was a huge success, reaching $100 million in sales in just three years.

Li Mo didn't say Apple before, but he said that the hardware technology can't keep up, don't rush it, not only said, but deliberately wrote on those dozen pieces of paper, and this is the mistake that Jobs made.

The second generation of Apple did not satisfy Jobs, although it was he who provided the inspiration, but it was designed by Wozny Ike. In '79, Steve Jobs joined Xerox's PaloAlto Research Center, and he saw that the other party's goal was to study how to make computers easy to use, users don't have to type a word, just through symbols, windows, menus, and mice to operate the computer, he thought this was a revolutionary breakthrough in the history of computer development.

Steve Jobs was ready to build a computing computer, but the hardware could not keep up, resulting in higher research and development costs, with the second generation of Apple costing only $500,000 and the new Mackintosh reaching $80 million. Coupled with the blue giant IBM's squeezing into the PC industry, sales quickly surpassed Apple's.

Mr. Jobs was eager to bring his new computer to market, and last year, Apple paid $1 million to air a hugely controversial television commercial for the Super Bowl in football. At the end of the year, Apple bought all of the advertising space for Newsweek's election special, which was based on the theme that the same principles apply to technology, and that everyone should have a computer.

However, because the hardware and software technology could not keep up, the new computer had many problems, causing many users to cry out against it...... Don't expect new computers to sell well, Apple is starting to run a big deficit. And Jobs had a very bad temper, to put it mildly, he was a tyrant who didn't talk about it, and later there was a legend within Apple that said don't share an elevator with Jobs, otherwise he would be fired if the elevator was not finished.

Apple executive John Scully had a serious conflict with Jobs, who believed that Scully did not understand computers, and Scully, who believed that Jobs was not good at managing the company, and that it was dangerous for Apple. Proof of History...... Jobs was right, Scully was wrong, but how many people in Apple can see it now?

In May of this year, Jobs prepared a "coup" d'état at Apple, ousting Scully in an attempt to gain control of Apple, and was finally betrayed by his companions. Scully forced the board to choose between him and Jobs, and the board chose Scully as the new president. Scully relieved Jobs of all rights, retaining only his chairmanship at Apple, while laying off 1,200 employees.

Soon, in the twentieth century, Jobs was forced by Scully to resign from Apple. Scully went on to beat the water dogs and file a lawsuit against Jobs. Bill Gates also came to join in the fun, he had a good relationship with Jobs, and he secretly learned a lot of skills, so he fought for Jobs.

Scully made a foolish move, he negotiated with Bill Gates, and if Microsoft could continue to produce software to Apple, he would allow Microsoft to use some of Apple's graphical interface technology, that is, the MacOS software technology that Steve Jobs had developed in recent years.

If it weren't for this trick, Microsoft might be in trouble in the future, because Microsoft's Windows is very similar to Apple's MacOS, but Apple's MacOS was pushed out first and also registered a patent. Or to put it this way, part of Microsoft's version of Windows at this time is the technology that Bill Gates secretly learned from Jobs.

If Scully doesn't license Microsoft to use Apple's MacOS, it's just a patent infringement, and Microsoft doesn't want to develop. Anyway, it's not heartbreaking for the cub to sell Yetian......

Bill Gates followed Jobs to learn technology secretly, and also saw all kinds of problems, software can be written by itself, hardware technology can catch up one day.

Li Mo said and wrote, but Bill Gates admired this big brother very much, so he couldn't think of what Li Mo said, and even when Apple's new computer was first launched, Bill Gates cheered for Jobs.

Soon all kinds of problems came out, so Bill Gates honestly took Li Mo to buy an IBM business jet.

At this time, he still believed that Jobs was capable of solving the new computer problem...... Unexpectedly, a few months later, Jobs was forcibly ousted by Apple's board of directors.

Now Jobs hasn't left Apple, but it's very, very uncomfortable.

Bill Gates looked at Big Brother, he was also uncomfortable, and then he thought of what Li Mo had told, why couldn't he think of it at the time, persuade him, Jobs would not end up like this.

Bill Gates will tell you what happened.

Li Mo was also melancholy.

He doesn't know how Jobs stepped down, but he knows that he was so ambitious, researched a computer ahead of time, led to Apple's financial deficit, was forced to step down by Apple's shareholders, and even sold Apple's shares in a fit of rage.

In the 90s, the stocks of the computer industry and the Internet industry were speculated, and Apple's market value was only worth $2 billion......

Including the death of Jobs in the future, as soon as he dies, Apple will get worse and worse, if it were not for the foundation laid by Jobs, as well as the support of fans, and the influence of American national strength, it would even be quickly killed by Huawei and Samsung.

As for Jobs himself, after leaving Apple, he mixed well, acquired Pixar Animation Studios, and later produced famous cartoons such as "Toy Story".

Jobs was obviously unwilling to make cartoons, and then Apple became more and more unsuccessful, and the directors repeatedly invited him, and Jobs returned to Apple in shame.

This man is the real god of this era.

But how can I afford to use this great god?

"Lee, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm thinking that if someone uses an annual salary, their annual salary has to reach hundreds of millions of dollars to be worthy of their wisdom. ”

"You mean Jobs?"

"Not just Jobs, but you...... But I can't afford it. Li Mo said with some frustration.

"Hahaha, Li, don't need more, give me an annual salary of five million, and I can work for you. Bill Gates joked.

"Don't tease me, as soon as Microsoft goes public, you'll be a billionaire right away. ”

There were not many billionaires in the United States in the 80s, caused by many reasons, the emergence of new technologies, which made wealth centralized, and the low tax policy in the 80s also contained more rich people, which was the accumulation period, and the nineties was the harvest period. In addition, the previous U.S. personal income tax rate could reach a terrifying tax rate of more than 70 percent at the peak, which effectively alleviated the widening gap between the rich and the poor. As soon as Reagan came to power, taxes were lowered, which stimulated economic development, but the gap between the rich and the poor began to widen rapidly.

Therefore, Li Mo looks at the problem very objectively, there is no flawless policy in the world, and if it is beneficial, there must be disadvantages!

At this time, a billionaire is still very eye-catching.

But it depends on how Li Mo invests this time, if there is no accident, Bill Gates became a billionaire at the same time, Li Mo also became a billionaire, of course, for the time being, Li Mo still catches up with Bill Gates's wealth, although Bill Gates's shares are diluted a little by him.

"Li ......"

"Gates, don't say anything, I'll touch your light. Li Mo said happily, and then said: "This time, I am here to taste your favor, so that you can usher in a surprise in advance before Microsoft goes public." ”

"The investment you're talking about?"

"Yes," Li Mo said, because the relevant news had already been published in the newspaper: "Specifically, when it comes to investing, I will tell you again, and explain the reason why it can be profitable, it should be soon, a month, you and Paul and they have to prepare funds immediately, the more the better." ”

"How much can I earn?"

"It depends on how much you invest, is it possible that you give me a dollar, and I will conjure you up a hundred thousand dollars?" I dare not say specifically......" Li Mo originally wanted to say several times, and several times may not make Bill Gates and them tempted, of course, Li Mo said that within a few months, I will let your investment increase several times, and I must be tempted, but in any case, they are all human spirits, thinking and thinking, and finally they all figured it out, and then Li Mo was self-defeating.

Anyway, I have done my best, and it is Bill Gates' business to listen or not.

Li Mo said repeatedly: "Please believe my words...... Not to mention, which students are doing now?"

Together, these students asked Hollick to work at Microsoft, saying that he was an assistant and secretary, but in fact he was here to be a running room. However, don't underestimate this runaway, who is incapable, may not be able to do it! There are other ...... For example, when you are a newcomer, you are not fluent in English, your values and morals are different, your customs and habits are even different, you can deal with them well, but if you don't get along well, you can have conflicts. Moreover, after Li Mo's selection of six strange test questions, these are all more assertive students, that is, "bad boys" in everyone's eyes, and many students have a lot of personality.

So Li Mo rushed to Seattle as his first stop. (To be continued.) )
