【0248 Bill Gates】
Qiu Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Xuan coldly, "How many days are you going?" ”
Burst!
Zhang Xuan's face immediately smiled, "Are you interested again?" ”
"Still not interested, but I can think about it first." Qiu Xiaoyu hugged the plump chest and said.
"Hehe, I can give you time to think about it, but I'm short on time here. You can't think about it for too long. Zhang Xuan saw that there was a way, and hurriedly told him about his plan to get a computer cash register system and shopping cards for the chain supermarket.
Qiu Xiaoyu thought thoughtfully for a minute, "You are really smart, the UK is not as advanced as you said, there are cash registers, but they are also independent, the cashier is inconvenient, and the settlement is not convenient, the current technology, can you do the joint cash register system you said?" ”
"Yes, surely! I plan to go to the United States to set up an American company of Huaren Industrial, with investment and Internet as the main business. Zhang Xuan said confidently.
There is a system for the cultivation of the overlord of the entertainment industry, so there is no problem for him to make money, but if he wants to become big, he still has to rely on himself.
The entertainment industry can't make a lot of money, that's one thing.
The most important thing is that if it weren't for the overlord cultivation system in the entertainment industry, he would not have always focused on the entertainment industry, with his ordinary talent, filming is not as good as Zhang Xiong, and Zhang Xuan would have long ago not wanted to film anymore.
"Internet?" Qiu Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Xuan suspiciously, "Didn't you swim here?" A lot of things I didn't know, you know, more than I know. ”
Zhang Xuan smiled: "Don't look down on people all the time, okay?" Do you think you know everything as a college student? Won't I read newspapers, read tech magazines? ”
"Well, I told my grandfather about your supermarket yesterday, and my grandfather also said that if you want to catch up, you don't have anything to do with others, or you can't do things that others don't have, or you have enough funds, otherwise it will be difficult." Qiu Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Xuan, "If you don't tell me about this computer cash register system, I don't know what you can make that others can't get, your computer cash register system, other big shopping malls, should be easy to imitate, right?" ”
"Where do they imitate it? Otherwise, I'm going to go to the United States now to find someone to do, what are I going to do? Now, the whole world doesn't have it. Zhang Xuan said proudly, "If you want to imitate it in Hong Kong, it will take at least a year later, and by then, my Chinese supermarket will have already beaten them!" ”
"Okay, you invite me to dinner, and if you are happy to eat, I will consider accompanying you to the United States." A smile crossed the corner of Qiu Xiaoyu's mouth. Qiu Xiaoyu likes to see Zhang Xuan's triumphant appearance.
Zhang Xuan smiled: "It's so simple? That's too easy, where do you want to eat? If you have it in Hong Kong, you can report it. ”
"Hmph, why should I tell you? Think for yourself. Qiu Xiaoyu curled her mouth, "The more satisfied I am, the more likely I am to agree to you." ”
Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and made an OK gesture, "Understood." ”
Zhang Xuan knew that Qiu Xiaoyu went to some high-end Western restaurants, so he took Qiu Xiaoyu to a seafood stall in Yuen Long.
Xue He brought Zhang Xuan here to eat twice, the boss also swam over, the craftsmanship is okay, the key is to be able to eat while blowing the sea breeze and looking at the sea view, and there is no one, just a small stall.
Qiu Xiaoyu seemed to have discovered a new continent, and asked curiously: "Is there such a place in Hong Kong?" ”
Zhang Xuan is secretly funny, Hong Kong is full of this kind of place, okay? Say hello to the boss and bring Qiu Xiaoyu into the box, and the two of them sit at the window.
"You order." Zhang Xuan took the list and showed it to Qiu Xiaoyu.
Qiu Xiaoyu looked at the list, the list was handwritten by the boss, many of them were simplified, crooked, Qiu Xiaoyu didn't even know some of the words, she saw that there were only about 20 dishes in total, "Otherwise, order one and give it a try?" ”
"Okay." Zhang Xuan got up with a smile and said to the boss: "Take a copy of everything and give it to my eldest lady to taste." ”
Burst!
Qiu Xiaoyu glanced at Zhang Xuan, "Who is your eldest lady?" But Qiu Xiaoyu's face had a smile on her face again.
Zhang Xuan had never seen Qiu Xiaoyu laughing, but occasionally seeing such a smile made Zhang Xuan like to see Qiu Xiaoyu laughing, unlike Zhang Feiyan, who didn't speak, and giggled alone.
"Okay, Boss Zhang, come right away." The boss and the proprietress were happy, Zhang Xuan came once, which was worth their business for a week.
Zhang Xuan is very careful about doing big business, but he takes care of these small businessmen at the bottom of the society, and usually gives tips.
"Is it clean in here?" Qiu Xiaoyu frowned.
Zhang Xuan hurriedly wiped the table with a napkin and said with a smile: "It's absolutely clean, I often come to eat, and here are my special tableware." ”
Qiu Xiaoyu's face flushed, and when she heard Zhang Xuan say about his special tableware, Fang Xin's heart jumped for no reason, "When are you going to leave?" ”
"Will it be okay tomorrow? I have a passport, do you need one? "Zhang Xuan had already prepared to go to the United States, and asked Wei Du to prepare his passport a few days ago.
"So anxious, your temperament, hehe." Qiu Xiaoyu smiled, "Tomorrow will be tomorrow." ”
"Don't think about it?" Zhang Xuan was overjoyed.
"How's it going? If the dish is not good, you have to think about it. Qiu Xiaoyu said with a cold face.
Zhang Xuan stared at Qiu Xiaoyu's face, and suddenly realized that Qiu Xiaoyu was indeed very beautiful, Zhao Yazi's temperament, not familiar with Zhou Huimin and Wang Qixian's appearance, her personality was too cold, the same as Sha Li.
It's just that Qiu Xiaoyu and Sha Li grew up in different environments, and Qiu Xiaoyu is a little more exaggerated than Sha Li, moody.
However, Zhang Xuan felt that he had a way to deal with Qiu Xiaoyu, because Qiu Xiaoyu had seen too few 'folk' things, and any food stall sent her away, hehe.
"See what?" Qiu Xiaoyu was stared at by Zhang Xuan, and couldn't help but sneer, her eyes were biased towards the sea, and her short hair was slightly swayed by the sea breeze.
After eating, Zhang Xuan sent Qiu Xiaoyu home, but fortunately he didn't meet Qiu Dachang this time.
"Goodbye." Zhang Xuan got out of the car, "Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning, I'll wait for you here." ”
Qiu Xiaoyu was still cold: "You go directly to the airport." ”
"Okay." Zhang Xuan said with a smile, because of Sha Li's relationship, Zhang Xuan is now immune to the character of this ice beauty, "See you tomorrow." ”
Although Zhang Xuan does not know whether this trip to the United States will go smoothly, he has already begun to work hard.
In the evening, Zhang Xuan told Zhao Yazi that he was going to the United States tomorrow.
Zhao Yazi's beautiful eyes widened in surprise: "Are you going to the United States tomorrow?" What you told me before is true? Are you really going to invest in a company in the United States? ”
"Of course, however, this time the main thing is to do a little basic work, first do the company registration, and the most important thing is to make a computer cash register system." Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
Zhao Yazi knew what Zhang Xuan had in mind, and no one could stop it, "Is there someone in this area to accompany you?" Is it okay for several salesmen in the company to have English proficiency? ”
"Qiu Xiaoyu will accompany me." Zhang Xuan didn't want to hide it, and he didn't need to hide it, he didn't want to pursue Qiu Xiaoyu.
Zhao Yazi's beautiful eyes widened again, "Miss Qiu will accompany you personally?" ”
Zhang Xuan smiled and talked about how he went to find Qiu Xiaoyu today.
"You with her?" Zhao Yazi couldn't help but gossip, but didn't ask.
"I'll never have anything with her." Zhang Xuan smiled: "At least, until my wealth surpasses that of the Qiu family, I will never have anything to do with her." ”
Zhao Yazi didn't answer, her wealth surpassed that of the Qiu family? It took decades for the Qiu family to reach their current wealth, how old are you?
"Do you want me to come with you?" Zhao Yazi leaned against Zhang Xuan's side and asked.
"Well, you can go if you want, when it's a distraction, but I don't have time to play with you." Zhang Xuan hugged Zhao Yazi tightly.
Zhao Yazi asked this, in fact, she wanted to test Zhang Xuan's heart for Qiu Xiaoyu, and when she heard that he was willing to let herself accompany her, she knew that Zhang Xuan was not going to pursue Qiu Xiaoyu, and she suddenly became happy, "Then I won't go, what's the point of playing alone?" Besides, the company is so busy now, everything is just starting, and it is not safe to play if you want to. ”
"Well, at the end of the year, after this year, I'll take the time to go around with you, and we'll go wherever you want." Zhang Xuan kissed Zhao Yazi's pink face.
"I'll make others happy, okay, I remember that." Zhao Yazi smiled.
"Never break your word, when do I say it doesn't count?" Zhang Xuan looked out the window, "Go to bed early, there will be a lot of things tomorrow." ”
"Well, don't put too much pressure on yourself, in fact, I think the supermarket thing, don't be too anxious, it's nothing to buy two pieces of land, our Chinese entertainment company's monthly income is almost enough to repay the loan, and it's not bad to wait for the land to appreciate." Zhao Yazi said. She is very worried about Zhang Xuan doing a shopping mall and competing with those real financial predators.
"How can I wait for the land to appreciate in value? So what do I buy land for? I bought it to be developed, don't worry, sleep, I'm going out at seven o'clock tomorrow, during this time, the company's affairs, you have to worry more. Zhang Xuan stroked Zhao Yazi's arm.
Qiu Xiaoyu is a very punctual person, and when Zhang Xuan arrived with Wei Du and Catherine, the salesman in charge of American affairs of the Chinese Entertainment Company, Qiu Xiaoyu had already arrived.
"Are you alone?" Zhang Xuan said curiously.
"What? Do you think I'm going to take someone with me? Qiu Xiaoyu said coldly.
"Well, when a young lady like you goes out, I thought there was at least a bodyguard or servant with you." Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
"I just said hello to my mom, my family has a house in New York and a maid. Someone will pick us up when we get there. Qiu Xiaoyu said casually.
Rich people are awesome, they all have houses in New York, Zhang Xuan is not surprised, Hong Kong's rich people can be regarded as rich people in the world, in fact, the world's rich circle is only a little bigger.
When he arrived in the United States, Zhang Xuan rushed to see Bill Gates before he had time to rest, and he had already contacted Microsoft and several companies.
"Catherine, go about your business. We met at Qiu Xiaoyu's house in the evening. Zhang Xuan said to his salesman that Catherine was going to go through the procedures for registering a company.
"Okay, boss." Catherine is actually a Hong Kong girl, and Catherine is just her English name.
"If you don't rest yourself, you have to let the family rest, right? I did a dozen hours of airplanes. Qiu Xiaoyu couldn't help but say.
"Time is money, isn't it time to rest? Do you want to rest? Zhang Xuan looked at Qiu Xiaoyu with a radiant look.
Qiu Xiaoyu was speechless, this guy seemed to be a person who never gets tired, "I'm a little tired, but it's okay, let's be busy with your business first." ”
"Thank you." Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
At this time, Microsoft was still a small company.
On November 26, 1976, Gates and Allen registered the trademark "Microsoft." At one point, they considered naming the company "Allen & Gates", but later decided to change it to "Micro-Soft" and remove the hyphen from the name.
Allen was 23 and Gates was 21.
In January 1977, Gates dropped out of Harvard University and left for Albuquerque, New Mexico.
There, he got a job writing programs for Roberts at $10 an hour.
MITS is headquartered in Albuquerque, where Gates also has its Microsoft headquarters.
On January 1, 1979, Gates moved Microsoft's headquarters to Bellevue, Washington.
On August 28, 1980, Gates signed a contract with IBM to develop an operating system for IBM's PCs. He then bought an operating system called QDOS for $50,000, improved it slightly, renamed the product DOS, and then licensed it to IBM.
In 1982, during the first year of its marketing, Gates licensed the MS-DOS operating system to 50 hardware manufacturers.
On November 10, 1983, the INDOS operating system made its debut. The product is an evolution of the MS-DOS operating system and provides a graphical user interface.
Zhang Xuan is looking for several companies that have been listed, and if he wants to cooperate, he only needs to go to the securities market to buy stocks by himself, and he doesn't need to ask the boss himself.
All he needs now is a computerized cash register system.
Zhang Xuan had already listed more than 300 companies before, and he knew that he would definitely be able to become big in the future.
He doesn't have to focus on doing business, he just needs to buy the shares of these companies as much as possible within this year, the U.S. stock market in 1985 was a trough, how much to eat, this is Zhang Xuan's method, no need to use his brain at all, a professional manager, an accountant, a few clerks, rent an office location, this is a company.
"There is no problem with the operating system, we can do it. But if you need the database, we have to contact a separate company to do it. Bill Gates said after listening to Qiu Xiaoyu's pure English.
Of course, Qiu Xiaoyu's words were all paraphrased from Zhang Xuan.
At this time, Bill Gates was only thirty years old, very young.
But Bill Gates looked at Zhang Xuan, who was only 15 years old, and felt that Zhang Xuan's youth was a bit 'excessive'.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry, I have already helped you contact a company that specializes in databases." ”
Zhang Xuan roughly talked about some of his requirements for the computer cash register system, his simple computer knowledge, at this time, is still very useful, the key is a lot of forward-looking knowledge, Bill Gates is only in the conception.
After listening to Qiu Xiaoyu's relay, Bill Gates and his partner Alan looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise, they felt that Zhang Xuan was very professional and seemed to be familiar with the industry.
"I'm already the largest shareholder of your company's outstanding shares, and my share is the same as yours, come on, gentlemen, I'll pay you $100,000 for this system!" Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
Belch.
Microsoft in 1985 was so cheap that their system was worth the price.
"We'll do our best." Bill Gates stretched out his hand to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan smiled and shook hands with Bill Gates.
Looking at Gates, who was tall with round eyes, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but think, if I get rid of this guy now, I don't know which company will be in charge of the computer programming world in the future?
"It's not an effort, it's ten days, you have to get things out, and I want you to come with me to Hong Kong, I want to set up a computer company in Hong Kong, I can produce my own computers, computers have their own programs, I can make shopping cards independently, you will be one of my consultants. Would you like to? Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Of course. You are my partner and client, and I would love to serve you, sir. Bill Gates laughed, "It's just that the ten-day deadline is too tight, I'm not sure if it's enough, if it's a month, I can guarantee it." ”
"It must be ten days." Zhang Xuan smiled, "I'm sure you can." ”
In terms of Ellison, Zhang Xuan also handed over to Bill Gates to contact, Erikson is also a small company at this time, Zhang Xuan also bought more than 3% of Oracle's equity, who would know that this small database company will master the global computer database in the future?
With these investments of less than 10 million, Zhang Xuan's assets will definitely be able to surpass companies such as Microsoft and Oracle in the future, because he has equity in several future technology companies.
"Is it done?" Qiu Xiaoyu only cared about translation, she only understood a little bit what Zhang Xuan and a few people were talking about.
"I don't know, I asked him to make the system I want within ten days, I hope everything goes well." Zhang Xuan shrugged his shoulders, "Go back, there is still time, I will go to other companies tomorrow to investigate." ”
Qiu Xiaoyu sneered, "You seem to be some important person, you go to this kind of small company without a few people, what is the good examination room?" ”
"Small company?" Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, if you are a reborn giant, you will jump up when you see these guys that ordinary people in the future cannot look up to.
"Sleep at your house at night, right?" Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered something.
"What for?" Qiu Xiaoyu suddenly became alert.
