Chen Jie's proposal really made Bill Gates very excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and his friend Paul Allen glanced at each other. Found in the seriousness of the friend also got a positive gaze. Bill Gates already had a general idea in mind. However, he still wanted to hear what Chen Jie said in another way. So he looked at Chen Jie and said

"Jerry, that's just one of those ways, and I gotta say I'm really impressed. Forgive me for my curiosity, though. I'm really curious what is the other way you're talking about? Can you tell me about it? ”

"Of course, in fact, I would prefer you to choose the second way!" Chen Jie said with a smile, "The second way is simpler, the entire office system software is handed over to your company, including copyright!" We don't charge a penny for Huatian Technology! ”

"What!" Bill Gates and Paul Allen were surprised after hearing Chen Jie's words, and said, "Jerry, no, isn't he joking!" ”

It's no wonder that Bill Gates and Paul Allen are so surprised, both of them are experts in this area, and no one can see the prospects of the software that Chen Jie said better than the two of them. The revenue generated by this software may not be too high in the short term, but there is a lot of potential for development. The profits that will come in the future are definitely considerable. Originally, Bill Gates was still thinking when Chen Jie finished talking about the first way of cooperation, and he must sign a long-term contract with Chen Jie's Huatian Technology. In this way, you can ensure the profitability of your company. That's why I was so surprised after listening to Chen Jie's second way. If only the copyright of the office could be handed over to your own company. Then it's not a problem to develop and upgrade it yourself in the later stage. The profits here are just too great.

"Don't get excited, I haven't said anything about the conditions of our Huatian Technology!" Chen Jie said with a smile after looking at the excited appearance of the two.

"Jerry, what do you have?" Bill Gates looked at Chen Jie and asked.

"We Huatian Technology see the development prospects of your company very much, so I hope that our company can invest in your company with this office system software plus subsequent related development software!" Chen Jie said, "In this way, it can be regarded as deepening the cooperative relationship between our two companies. ”

Bill Gates and Paul Allen both pondered after listening to Chen Jie's words. Although both of them are optimistic about the development prospects of Excel spreadsheets, if they want to use this software for equity, they will definitely not agree. However, there are two things worth considering for the two of them. The first is whether the other two software, which Chen Jie said, will also be of cross-era significance to Excel spreadsheets. If that's the case, then there are few opponents in the office software field that can be predicted. Another point is Huatian Technology. Although neither of them had heard of this company before, they had to admit that it can be seen from the Excel spreadsheet alone that this Huatian Technology is absolutely first-class in software research and development. Even Microsoft, which is not as good as itself, is definitely not much different. If it were to be the United States, it would really be enough for the two of them to have such a competitor. But he was in Hong Kong. The two companies are one in the East and one in the West. If you can reach an alliance. That's definitely a crucial step for the development of both companies!

"Jerry, I wonder how much you plan to own in Microsoft?" Bill Gates looked at Chen Jie and asked.

"We Huatian Technology is not very greedy, we hope to be able to occupy 15% of your company's shares, and I know that your company's development in the past two years has been restricted by insufficient funds. So with your permission, I would like to inject $5 million into your company in my own name and own 5% of your shares. Chen Jie looked at the two and said.

Frankly speaking, Chen Jie's proposal really moved the two of them. Although in the hearts of the two of them, it does make them a little painful to take out 20% of the shares at once. I also feel that Chen Jie's 15% stake requirement is a bit too high. But Chen Jie has a sentence that says that their hearts are on the road. Their development in the past two years has indeed been constrained by insufficient funding. If it can really get Chen Jie's $5 million injection, Microsoft will get an opportunity for rapid development. And Chen Jie's $5 million only occupies 5% of the shares, which has already made the two of them take a big advantage. You know, according to Microsoft's market capitalization at this time. $5 million can account for at least 8%-12% of the shares. And Chen Jie only asked for 5%. It's definitely taking advantage of them. This may be regarded as Chen Jie's compensation for the 15% of Huatian Technology's shares. However, this made both Bill Gates and Paul Allen hesitate, and the two glanced at each other. found that the other party was serious and did not find an answer, so Bill Gates looked at Chen Jie and said

"Jerry, can you give us time to think about it?"

"Of course, there is no problem, after all, this is not a trivial matter. It's also normal to think about it a little more. Chen Jie said with a smile: "But I hope that no matter what the final result is, it will not affect our friendship!" ”

Bill Gates and Paul Allen also laughed when they heard Chen Jie say this.

"Of course not, it's definitely a celebration to get to know you today. If Jerry doesn't mind, I'd love to have you for lunch at noon! Bill Gates said to Chen Jie and Zhao Yazhi with a smile.

"Then I'll be disrespectful. If you have the opportunity, when you go to Hong Kong, I will invite you to try our Hong Kong special snacks! Chen Jie also said with a smile.

"I believe there will definitely be opportunities in the future." Bill Gates also smiled and said, "It's still early, Jerry, if you are not hungry, can you introduce us to the word text processing software and PowerPoint graphic editing software you just mentioned?" ”

"Of course there is no problem, speaking of which, you two are experts in this area, maybe you can give me some guidance so that we can improve these two software faster!" Chen Jie said with a smile.

After speaking, Chen Jie began to introduce the two of them to the two of them, word and powerpoint. Although there is no actual demonstration this time, both Bill Gates and Paul Allen are experts in this area, and the two should have a general understanding of these two software in their minds after listening to Chen Jie's introduction. I have to say that if it is really designed by Huatian Technology, then these two software, like Excel spreadsheets, are of cross-era significance. It is precisely because of this that Bill Gates made up his mind to take such a gamble.
