Liu Si invited Du Jiabin to the third cousin's house as a guest, but Du Jiabin had no reason to refuse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Brother Bingbing, who had just opened the door, was surprised by a strange man who appeared next to his little brother. Immediately, Liu Si saw the anger in Brother Bingbing's eyes, and then Brother Bingbing walked away directly, out of sight and out of mind.
I've been here long enough, and I've had nothing to do, playing on the computer, spending money on the Internet, maybe I'm already tired of myself! Although Liu Si, who is a man of two lives, sees it thoroughly, he is not childish and walks away, because the pattern of this small city is very small for him, but this is the best pattern platform he can get at present.
"Maybe you'll look up to me tomorrow!" Liu Si was thinking about the future in his heart, but he would not snub Du Jiabin, so he immediately invited Brother Bingbing into the house after he left.
After delivering tea to Du Jiabin, he called his father at home, "Dad, something happened to me in the city, can you come tomorrow." β
"What's wrong with you?"
Father's nervous voice made Liu Si's heart warm, this is the warmth of home. More than ten years later, my father lost half of his hair in less than 40 because of such and such setbacks, and all his efforts were poured into earning money, and he cared very little about himself.
"It's nothing, it's important anyway, you must come tomorrow!"
"What the hell is going on, the family is very busy."
The angry voice of his father in the earpiece let Liu Si know that the liquor business is not bad at present, and he who knows his father knows that his father is ignorant for himself, and if he comes, it will be equivalent to losing more than 100 yuan. And the family's liquor business is also due to the Tan family's previous publicity, so that the father of the family is busy steaming wine, and he has about 100 yuan a day, and his parents are very satisfied with this life.
"Dad, this matter is very important, I will pay you a salary when you come to the city, 1,000 yuan a day, okay!"
"You pay me a salary, you say it lightly, what the hell is the matter? There's something to say, I'm hanging up if there's nothing to do, and the phone bill is very expensive. β
Hearing his father's voice like a little money fan, Liu Si laughed softly, "Dad, I invested in a software for a big company, and they took a fancy to it, and then I wasn't under the age of eighteen?" So you need to sign it. β
"Is it true, don't be deceived."
"Dad, you come first! I couldn't say it on the phone. β
After greeting his father for a while, he hung up the phone and went out to spend this boring time with Du Jiabin. Time passed quickly, but Du Jiabin was shocked by the kid in front of him.
At the age of thirteen, he felt that he had gone through many setbacks and traveled a lot of places at the same time, but after learning from Liu Si's mouth that he had only learned the knowledge he had learned by reading books in Xinhua Bookstore, he instantly felt that Xinhua Bookstore was so powerful.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a few hours were spent in the sea talk between Liu Si and Du Jiabin.
"Mr. Du, Mr. Bill should be at work at this time." Liu Si looked up at the clock where the hands pointed to 11 o'clock.
"Okay, I'll call Mr. Bill's office, and then you can negotiate directly with Mr. Bill!" Du Jiabin said and picked up the phone next to him and began to dial.
"Mr. Du, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to translate." For English, Liu Si's level is still at the junior high school level.
Not long after the phone was connected, a soft female voice came from the microphone, "Hello, this is Microsoft Office, do you need any help?" β
"Alice, I'm Du, you won't forget me!"
"Oh, oh my God! Du, don't you know that I'm at work right now? If my boss finds out, I'll be dead. β
"Dear Alice, I'm looking for Mr. Bill this time, you don't have to worry about being fired."
"Damn Du, have you forgotten me, forgotten that day at the bar..."
"Alice, if you don't call Mr. Bill again, I think your bonus this month will be ruined!"
"Du, you actually threatened me, damn it, every good thing you men eat, wipe it clean." Alice scolded Du Jiabin grinningly, "Damn, I transferred it to the boss." β
Du Jiabin touched his nose and waited for the call.
"Du, how's it going? Are things going well? "Bill. Gates' voice came out of the microphone, echoing through the room.
"Bill, I met with Liu, but I can't make the decision on the conditions he proposed."
Bill is very optimistic about the future market of China, the most populous country, but he really does not pay attention to it at present, otherwise there will be more than 20 people in China's Microsoft branch. So Du Jiabin, who didn't pay attention to it, also directly told his boss about the problems he cared about.
"Oh, what conditions? Speak it up and listen to it! Bill was curious about what conditions the Chinese he had never met made Du, a person who was slightly valued by Bill, react in this way.
"$10 million, 5% Microsoft shares."
"$10 million, 5% Microsoft shares, are you sure that damn bastard is not joking!" Bill's originally relaxed mood immediately exploded after hearing Liu Si's conditions.
$10 million is a bit much, although Microsoft now has billions of dollars in cash on its books, not to mention the last 5% of Microsoft's shares, you must know that Microsoft's current market capitalization is about $35 billion, and 5% of the shares are about $2 billion. Bill. Gates rang this number, and his mind was fucking angry, how much is the value of the palm fun desktop operating system?
"Yes, sir, it's not a joke." Du Jiabin said with certainty, "By the way, Mr. Bill, Liu is now next to me, and he wants to talk to you directly." β
"Alright! I'd love to hear what he has to say? Bill said through gritted teeth.
"Mr. Bill, I'm glad to be able to speak to you. Although my husband would love to make a living of me, I have to say that if Mr. Bill can make a deal with me, we will definitely be a win-win situation. β
"Win-win, I don't think so." Bill sarcastically spoke into the microphone.
βwindows3γ 0 and later versions of Windows 3. With the introduction of 1, Microsoft basically covers most of the operating system market, but Windows 3. 0 and later versions of Windows 3. 1 Even the Windows 95 released yesterday is based on the MS-DOS operating system, which will make it impossible for Microsoft to really dominate or even monopolize the market, and even be surpassed by other operating companies. OS/2, BEOS, XTS-400 and many other operating system companies are able to pose a threat to Microsoft, and Apple is said to be in a dilemma of not being able to launch a new operating system, Copland, and BEOS is already negotiating with Apple. Liu Si took a sip of water and continued: "The operating system of the future will definitely abandon MS-DOS or PC-DOS, and must be a tightly integrated operating system, which directly enters the graphical user interface instead of a command-line prompt." Therefore, this requires Microsoft's absolute monopoly on the desktop operating system, otherwise Microsoft cannot form an absolute leadership or monopoly position in the operating system market. β
"Microsoft already has the best desktop operating system in the world, and the desktop operating system of Windows 95 is not lagging behind Mr. Liu's Palm Fun desktop operating system." Bill. Gates proudly trumpets the difference of Windows 95.
"Oh, does Mr. Bill think the Palm Fun desktop operating system is dispensable to Microsoft?" Liu Si is in a very unhappy mood, even if the advantages of his palmfun desktop operating system are not much better than win95, but you Microsoft really don't need it?
"Microsoft already has the best desktop operating system in the world, but out of the company's strategy, I am still very interested in Mr. Liu's Palmfun desktop operating system." Bill was slow because he felt he had an absolute advantage in the negotiation.
"Will Mr. Bill pay me $10 million, 5% of the shares?"
"Mr. Liu, this is impossible, we will pay you at most $10 million to buy out the palm fun desktop operating system in your hand." Bill decisively rejected Liu Si's offer and firmly offered an offer of $10 million.
"That's a shame!"
