In the early years, Microsoft was able to grow rapidly, thanks to Paul. Allen's R&D capabilities, Bill. Gates' sales ability, and there is Steve. Ballmer's managerial skills.

But now Steve. Ballmer is only 22 years old, younger than Wang Zijun, just graduated from Harvard University, and was admitted to Stanford Graduate School of Business.

This guy is a lover, he is friends with Bill Gates, when Bill Gates dropped out of school to work at Microsoft, he invited him to drop out of school to start a company. Can Steve. Ballmer refused, for ironic reasons, because he had managed to become the head of the Haval football team and did not want to give up the honor easily.

Regardless of whether Ballmer is qualified now or not, Wang Zijun is ready to go and see it.

Worried, he doesn't care about the Golden Globe Award anymore.

Wang Zijun doesn't know where Ballmer is now, as long as he puts his friend Bill. Gates asked out and asked Paul by the way. Allan.

Paul. Alan left MITS last year because of a feud with Roberts and focused on writing his software back to Microsoft. But he talked to Bill. Gates's relationship also cracked at this time.

Because when Microsoft was founded, Paul . Alan's idea that he should be with Bill. Gates each owns half of the shares. Cobir. Gates said that he should take 60% of the shares, on the grounds that basic was written by him, and the money from the sale opened the company. And Paul. Alan still gets a salary at MITS, and he doesn't get a penny for Microsoft Bill Gates.

Paul. Alan doesn't like to argue, Bill. Gates is a good friend of his, so just settle the matter.

But last year, Bill. Gates made another request, stiffly raising his stake in Microsoft to 64 percent. Paul. Alan is an honest programmer who can't compete with Bill. Gates, again, agreed.

This two times, a total of 14% of Microsoft's shares were confused from the Paul. Alan ran to Bill. Gates in hand.

It's not just about shares, it's about company management. Paul. Alan is very close to the employees, he helps solve any troubles of the employees, and he forgives them when they make mistakes. Bill. Gates was very irritable, and if someone didn't finish the job on time, Gates would say contemptuously, "I'll finish this software in a weekend!" If a programmer is ill-conceived, Gates tends to yell, "This is the most stupid thing I've ever heard!" ”

The two also have technical differences, because of technical and management differences, the two have quarreled countless times, plus equity disputes. In fact, Paul. Alan is already very dissatisfied with Bill. Gates, it just didn't show it.

Appointment in the restaurant, Paul. Allen arrived ahead of schedule and greeted Wang Zijun: "Mr. Wang, hello! ”

"Hello, Paul, it's alright." Wang Zijun said.

"Not bad." Paul. Allen said. If only in terms of work, this is true, following the MITS, a number of PC companies have sprung up in the last year, and these computer companies need Microsoft to provide them with software services.

And these are small companies, and Microsoft is in a seller's market when it does business, and it often sells for a good price.

As for a large company like IBM, there is not even a personal computer department at the moment.

Wang Zijun said: "Why don't you work at MITS anymore? ”

"Well, I have some disagreements with Mr. Roberts about our work." Paul. Alan doesn't like to expose people's shortcomings, and this kind of thing is only clicked.

Wang Zijun asked, "If Roberts leaves MITS, will you come back?" ”

"Huh? How could he leave. "Paul. Alan was taken aback that Microsoft is now far inferior to MITS, and Paul. Alan also didn't have much ambition, and he and Bill. Gates' vision is to make Microsoft a "big company" with 35 programmers.

Wang Zijun said: "He didn't want to do it anymore, so he sold all the shares in his hand to me." I admire you, you are a talented person who can do practical things. If you are willing to come back, I will give you 10% of the shares. ”…,

Wang Zijun knew Paul. Allen's ability, when there is a shortage of people now, gives away a tenth of the shares, he thinks it is worth it.

Paul. Allen looked at Wang Zijun in surprise, and the Asian in front of him actually became the sole proprietor of the largest personal computer company in the United States. For a moment, Paul. Alan remembered that he had talked to Bill. The contradiction between Gates is actually a little tempting.

However, when I think of my original intention to start a business, I feel that I suddenly went to MITS, which will inevitably have an impact on Microsoft's work. Alan thinks that would be sorry for Bill. Gates said, "No, I still have to work for my own company, and I don't have that much energy to serve MITS." However, we can work together and Microsoft can provide the best software services for MITS. ”

"That's a shame." Wang Zijun sighed.

The two were chatting, and Bill. Gates also hurried over, and when he saw Wang Zijun, he apologized: "Sorry, there are some affairs temporarily, I'm late." ”

"No, it's early for us, please take a seat!" Wang Zijun said.

"Is Mr. Wang here to discuss business?" Bill. Gates asked directly. For the sale of basic to Wang Zijun in the first two years, Bill. Gates never knew if the business was a profit or a loss. Because the price of $100,000 could be regarded as a sky-high price at the time, and it is a good price now. However, as the PC market matures and more and more PC companies, Bill. Gates is finding the value of basic growing.

Wang Zijun's hand, by the way, also pitted Jobs and others, and these small companies had to spend a high price to find other people to write languages when they were making computers.

Wang Zijun did not talk to Bill. Gates talked about the change in MiTS's shares, but he talked about personal computers. He doesn't have a lot of expertise, most of them are Bill. Gates and Paul. Alan and the two were talking, only interjecting a sentence or two from time to time.

However, just these two sentences provided a lot of inspiration for the two geniuses.

Gradually, Wang Zijun talked about company management again, saying that management talents are not easy to find. Gates didn't think too deeply, and was unconsciously led out of the conversation by Wang Zijun, talking about his friend Steve. Ballmer.

In fact, it would be many years before Ballmer joined Microsoft. Gates gave him a nearly 10 percent stake to poach him. Of course, when digging Ballmer, Bill. Gates cheated Paul again. Alan took a handful, so much so that he later heard that Bill. Gates and Ballmer talk about themselves behind their backs, Paul. In a fit of rage, Alan left Microsoft with illness.

After being deceived into Ballmer's address, Wang Zijun flew to Cincinnati, Ohio, the next day, to Procter & Gamble to find the future president of Microsoft.

Ballmer was obviously surprised by Wang Zijun's visit, he naturally knew Wang Zijun, who was in the limelight in Hollywood, but in his impression, Wang Zijun was just a director, singer and writer, and had nothing to do with him.

After finding a café to sit down, Ballmer couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked, "Is there anything Mr. Wang looking for me?" ”

Wang Zijun asked directly: "Mr. Ballmer, do you have any impression of MITS?" ”

"Oh, that's a big company, the biggest PC company in the United States." Ballmer said.

Wang Zijun asked, "What do you think of him?" ”

Ballmer said: "Very good, I heard Gates mention it. ”

Wang Zijun continued to ask: "If you are asked to be in charge of this company, what do you think?" ”

"What a joke." Ballmer laughed and said that he had just turned 22 years old, and it was said that he was in charge of a large company with annual sales of more than 10 million dollars.

Wang Zijun said: "If, I mean if, someone asks to be the manager of this company, do you have confidence?" ”

Seeing that Wang Zijun didn't look like a joke, Ballmer was a little uncertain in his heart, and asked, "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course." Wang Zijun nodded and said.

"How so? How could anyone ask me to manage MITS. Ballmer shook his head and smiled, he still felt that this was unreliable, especially since it was a Hollywood director who said this. …,

Wang Zijun said: "How could it not? If I invite you to be the manager of MITS, do you have the confidence to take on this position? ”

"You?" Ballmer's head was a little dizzy.

Wang Zijun said: "Yes. I now own 100 percent of MITS, and Roberts will be back home next month to buy land and become a farmer. ”

"Oh,!" Although Ballmer is not racist, the impact of the largest personal computer company in the United States becoming the industry of this Asian is really strong enough.

If American computer enthusiasts learn the news, and the boss behind the MITS they are proud of is a Chinese, I am afraid that many people will go crazy.

Wang Zijun asked, "Mr. Ballmer, what do you think?" ”

"No, I mean, how did you come to me? I'm just an assistant manager at Procter & Gamble, and I only graduated from college last year. Ballmer said.

Wang Zijun said: "I am from Bill. Gates knows you, he invited you when he founded Microsoft, but unfortunately you refused. ”

"yes, I was the boss of the Haval baseball team at the time, which was a lot more fun than Microsoft." Ballmer made a joke, his face suddenly became serious, and he said to Wang Zijun, "Sir, I am very grateful for your invitation. However, I am self-aware, and with my current ability, I can work as a department manager at MITS at most. If you invite me after five years, I think I'd be more than happy to. But right now, I'm not good yet, I don't have what it takes to lead a large company. ”

"Don't you think about it again?" Wang Zijun asked. Wang Zijun believes Ballmer's statement that he is incapable, after all, Ballmer has just walked out of the university campus at this time, and he has not yet entered the Stanford Graduate School of Business, so he must not be compared with Ballmer a few years later.

But now that the MITS company is already a mess, let Ballmer toss a few times, maybe Ballmer and the company can grow together.

Ballmer still shook his head: "Thank you for the invitation, sir, but I'm really incompetent." ”

Wang Zijun retreated to the second, a future super talent is in front of him, how can he let it go, even if he is not allowed to take the helm of MITS, he must be pulled over to make reserves. At the moment, he said: "Since you said that you are capable enough to be a department manager, can you come to MITS to be a manager?" You can choose what department you want. ”

"Sir, I really don't know why you think so highly of me." Ballmer couldn't laugh at Wang Zijun's perseverance.

Wang Zijun said: "Really, I can give you 5% of the shares of MITS company." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ballmer immediately looked at Wang Zijun in surprise.

Wang Zijun only showed sincerity before, but now he is taking out real dollars.

Ballmer's first feeling was that this Chinese was a ten-out of ten Kaizi, but the second feeling was that he was a young man who had just left school, and someone actually asked him to take charge of a large company, and also gave him a 5% stake in the company.

Ballmer was still hesitating, and Wang Zijun hit the railroad while it was hot: "What are you still hesitating about?" The position of assistant manager at Procter & Gamble makes you so nostalgic? ”

"No, it's not the position that makes me nostalgic." "I got an offer to be admitted to Stanford Graduate School of Business last year, but instead of going to school, I went to Procter & Gamble. I think I need to have hands-on opportunities, and at P&G I was able to learn about the management of a large company and deal with all kinds of business people. I'm going to stay here for another two years before I go to Stanford, and that's when I finish my theory at Stanford, and that's where my career really begins. ”

As soon as Wang Zijun heard it, he felt that his method of attracting talents was a little unbearable, this Ballmer is an assertive person, and his life plan is very clear, no wonder Bill. Gates, please don't move.

Wang Zijun asked: "Then what have you learned at Procter & Gamble now?" ”…,

"I spent half a year at Procter & Gamble and learned a lot, and I wanted to get it all out before leaving," Ballmer said. ”

"Mr. Ballmer, what if, I mean, I give you 10 percent of the shares? You can get more rights and space at MITS than P&G, and you can grow and develop with the company, which you can't get at P&G. Wang Zijun continued to tempt. Later Bill. Gates used a few tens of percent of Microsoft's stake to get Ballmer out of the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

When Wang Zijun promised a 10 percent stake, Ballmer was silent for the first time. Because this is not only a share, but as Wang Zijun said, although he did not learn as much experience in large company management at MITS as P&G, he could exercise more space. After a long time, Ballmer said, "If I was just a department manager, I wouldn't have been able to go to MITS, and I might as well have stayed at Procter & Gamble." But if I were to manage this company, I would love to promise you, but with my current ability, I'm afraid I'll lead this company in the wrong direction. ”

Wang Zijun thought for a while and said: "Then I'll arrange a boss for you to check it, you will be your deputy, and I will give you a lot of freedom." What do you think? ”

"Who's that boss?" Ballmer asked.

"A very capable Chinese, but he has no experience in business management, but he has very strong vision and ability. I think you can complement each other. Wang Zijun said.

Ballmer stirred the spoon with his coffee cup in his hand, full of contradictions, and finally he finally agreed. Not to mention anything else, the 10% stake given by Wang Zijun is the greatest respect and trust for him, and it is impossible for anyone to do it.

"Well, you can go to New Mexico at any time to take office, and when you get to the company, we will handle the share transfer agreement." Wang Zijun said.

Ballmer smiled: "Mr. Wang, you are the most generous boss I have ever met, and I will not let you down." ”

Wang Zijun said: "I'll wait and see." ”

――――――――――

The Asian Wang Zijun is talking about is Zhang Anle, the number one thinker of the Bamboo Union Gang, who is now studying accounting and consulting management at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

When Wang Zijun met Zhang Anle, the former gang boss was actually washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant.

Looking at Zhang Anle, who was wearing gloves and an apron, Wang Zijun couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Brother Anle, which one are you singing?" ”

"The living expenses are not enough, so I come out to work." Zhang Anle said with a smile, not caring about his brushing of dishes. He really didn't make much money in the Bamboo Union Gang, and the money was used to support his family. Bay has a wife and children.

Wang Zijun said: "If my sister-in-law knows that you are washing dishes in the United States, I am afraid that I will have to scold me and my brother to death." ”

"No, she hasn't scolded anyone but me." Zhang Anle said.

Although Zhang Anle's wife is not a member of the gang, she is more righteous than most people in the rivers and lakes, as long as Zhang Anle's friends or brothers on the road ask her for help, she will not refuse. Even when Zhang Anle was arrested later, the police's excuse was that the white wolf had hidden guns privately, but in fact, those guns were asked by the brother who ran away to let Zhang Anle's wife help keep them, and Zhang Anle didn't know that there was such a thing.

Zhang Anle threw the gloves in his hand on the table, unbuttoned his apron and shouted inside: "Uncle, a friend is looking for me, you can find someone to push me." ”

The owner of the restaurant, Abo, ran out, and after seeing Wang Zijun, he was surprised: "This is not Wang Zijun, why did you come to my shop." ”

"I'm here to find Brother Anle, do you know me?" Wang Zijun asked.

"Wang Zijun, who is Chinese in the United States who doesn't know you, I was dragged to the cinema by my granddaughter to watch your movie." Ah Bo smiled and said to Zhang Anle, "Ah Le, you didn't say earlier that you knew Mr. Wang, so Lingling looked forward to asking for an autograph from Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Zijun was pestered by Abel, leaving an autograph and a group photo before leaving, fortunately it is not a meal now, and there are few people in the restaurant, otherwise there will be trouble. …,

Finding a quiet place to stop, Zhang Anle lit a cigarette and asked, "Zijun, did you come to me, did you encounter any trouble in the United States?" ”

"It's a little bit of a hassle." Wang Zijun said with a smile.

Zhang Anle said: "What's the trouble? Need to use your brain or hands? ”

Wang Zijun said: "Of course it's a brain, I'll still find you to fight and kill?" ”

"Then tell me what it is, and I'll help you plan." Zhang Anle said.

Wang Zijun asked, "How is your study?" ”

"The University of Nevada's degree in accounting and consulting management will be available in half a year. I'm getting ready to go to Stanford University right now. ”

"You're still ...... Really! Wang Zijun was speechless.

Zhang Anle said: "You are a smart person, and I don't want to hide it from you." When I came to the United States, studying was secondary, and the main thing was to do serious things and stay in Taiwan. There are too many involved, anyway, the Bamboo Union Gang is already on the right track, and there is no need for ** heart. ”

In fact, Zhang Anle didn't say one thing, that is, he was brought into the Bamboo Union Gang by Chen Qili, and Chen Qili is his eternal eldest brother. Now that Chen Qili is no longer in the gang, what is it for him Zhang Anle to stay in the gang? He wanted to break away from the Bamboo Union Gang but couldn't speak, as long as he borrowed reading and left the stage. Bay.

Wang Zijun asked: "Brother An Le, have you heard of the MITS company?" ”

"It's a little familiar," Zhang Anle thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a company that sells computers." ”

Wang Zijun nodded and said, "Yes, I am the boss of that company." ”

Zhang Anle didn't know much about MITS, so he wasn't surprised.

Wang Zijun talked about the company's situation for a while, and then said: "Now the company is very bad, I want to ask Brother An Le to go out of the mountain to help take charge." ”

"No, I don't know anything about computers." Zhang Anle shook his head again and again.

Wang Zijun said: "I don't want you to do research. You're just going to manage the personnel and finances, and besides, I'll give you a great deputy that you can talk about. In addition, what talents need to be recruited, you can look for headhunters. The main thing is that you are your own person, and I can rest assured that you will manage the company. Also, I can't let you work in vain, I'll give you 15% of the company's shares. ”

"Forget about the shares," Zhang Anle said, "if you really can't find someone, I can give you a hand, and you can give me a salary." But I can't say yes right away, I'll have to take some time to get acquainted with your company. ”

"Of course, but you only have a month to get acquainted with." Wang Zijun said, "In addition, the shares still have to be given, you don't want it, I'm afraid I can't tie you up, and you will sell me in the future." ”

"Haha, okay, I want the shares." Zhang Anle smiled and agreed.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is about to begin, but on the first day of the ceremony, Wang Zijun was still in New Mexico.

Zhang Anle and Ballmer met, and Wang Zijun introduced: "Mr. Ballmer, this is your future boss and alumnus. Mr. Zhang Anle of the b. ”

I have to say that Zhang Anle and Ballmer are in another space, and they are really Stanford University at the same time, out-and-out alumni.

"I won't say much else, Mr. Zhang Anle is not very familiar with the company's business now, and he doesn't know much about professional things. He holds a bachelor's degree in History, Accounting and Consulting Management and has previously managed a career in Taiwan. The largest gang in the bay has a very good set of personnel management, and he has a big picture. Wang Zijun continued, "And Ballmer, although he has little management experience, he has unique experience in the management of large companies, and you can cooperate with each other, I hope you can cooperate harmoniously." In addition, I propose that you find a computer professional and technical person who can manage the technical aspects of the company through a headhunting company. This position was previously Paul. Alan is in charge, but unfortunately he left last year, and I'm not very happy with that person now. ”
