Chapter 431: Carmel Town
Technology exchange?
This word made Steve and Gates look at each other, both a little puzzled.
Zhang Bin wants to use this vulnerability as a technology exchange?
"Zhang, what do you want to change?" Gates looked at Zhang Bin and said.
Zhang Bin smiled: "Well, although I can't guarantee how many vulnerabilities can be found, but I can make you feel that it must be worth it, the technology I want is not too difficult, I hope your company can give my company some technical support in audio and video signal transmission technology."
"Audio and video signal transmission?" Steve's brow furrowed slightly, as if he was wondering how much it would cost him, and who would be more cost-effective to simply pay in cash.
"Yes, I don't need your funds, if you think the vulnerability I provide is worth the price, then please cooperate with my company to help develop an audio software and help our company improve a digital video player", Zhang Bin put forward his own request.
In fact, what he wants to say most is that he hopes that Microsoft can promise him to provide him with half-price baseband chips, preferably the same as Apple's, at least technically, but Zhang Bin thinks it is unlikely.
The cooperation between Apple and Microsoft is caused by many factors, and Zhang Bin wants to make Providence and Microsoft reach such a state, which will never be possible.
So he had to settle for the next best thing, looking for possible cooperation.
"Well, how about we talk about specific cooperation next time?" Steve said.
"Okay", Zhang Bin also thinks that this is the most suitable, but now he has no goods in his hand, and he has no confidence to talk about it.
After talking about work, Steve left.
"Is there anything going on here?" In addition to work, Gates and Zhang Bin also have a layer of friendship.
"It's a matter that I need you to help with", Zhang Bin said directly, his plan this time really needs someone to support him.
"You say," Gates asked.
"I want to meet Mr. Buffett, can you introduce me to him?" Zhang Bin said.
Zhang Bin knows that Gates himself has a good relationship with Buffett, so he hopes that Gates can help introduce him.
Warren. Warren Buffett is known as the god of stocks, with assets of $62 billion in 08, becoming the richest man in the world.
It was also this year, when Wall Street was shrouded in a financial crisis, Buffett generously threw out $8 billion, injecting $3 billion and $5 billion into Goldman Sachs and General Electric respectively, and was called the savior of Wall Street.
Zhang Bin doesn't want Buffett to support him for anything, he just needs to meet once, so that all his future investments will seem so natural, this is the power brought by the fame of the stock god.
"You want to see Warren?" Gates was somewhat surprised.
You must know that at this time, Buffett's lunch can be auctioned for more than 600 US dollars, and there are many people who meet him.
Zhang Bin smiled: "Maybe I can pay to shoot a lunch."
In the evening, Zhang Bin participated in Gates's family dinner.
Melinda was not at home this time, only a few children and Gates were there.
For Zhang Bin's arrival, although the children were quite welcome, they were obviously not as enthusiastic about Zhou Jingyu.
"It seems that girls are more attractive to them," Gates laughs.
"Isn't Melinda in the country?" Zhang Bin asked.
"I went to Africa, and she went there to see the disease spreading there recently," Gates laughed, "You know, she's a warm-hearted person who can't stop."
"She is a respectable lady, maybe I should toast her," Zhang Bin said seriously.
"Thank you", Gates smiled and touched a glass with Zhang Bin.
"I want to have more Apple stock," Mr. Zhang said.
Gates hesitated for a moment and said, "How much do you need?" ”
"At the end of the year, 20 million shares will be settled," Zhang said.
Zhang Bin has no money now, so he can only wait until the end of the year to have money for settlement.
"I think Steve Jobs would have thanked you," Gates laughed.
Apple's stock is now continuing to fall, and at this point it has fallen to $93, and it will fall.
In my memory, it should have fallen to eighty-five dollars.
The decline was mainly due to sales of iPhones and a range of Apple products.
But with the storm of Apple's mobile phone sales that began in the second half of this year, Apple's stock will be pulled up rapidly.
By 2012, it will be the peak of Apple.
That year, Apple's stock topped $600.
Apple's highest market capitalization has exceeded $900 billion.
Zhang Bin is not a loyal apple fan, but he will not waste the opportunity to make money.
It's a pity that Jobs went too early, and there are still three years to go.
If Jobs had always existed, Apple's future would have been even more brilliant.
Apple with Steve Jobs is like a tech company that doesn't know the depths, and you don't know when he's going to launch a product that will change the world.
And Apple, without Jobs, is like holding on to its former glory, until it is lonely, and the end seems to be doomed.
Of course, even in later generations, Apple will still be the world's hegemon, and its market capitalization of hundreds of billions of dollars will make it look powerful.
Bidding farewell to Gates, on the 17th, Zhang Bin and Zou Yu went to California.
The plane landed in San Francisco, and the group rented a car and went to the small town of Carmel non-stop.
Carmel is a seaside town just two hours from San Francisco, and it's a small town with a small history, but it's full of literary and artistic atmosphere.
Yu Ling lives in this town.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Bin and his party arrived in this town.
The unique place made Zhang Bin a little surprised.
Every place here seems to be full of art, the houses designed by the people, the people who paint quietly in front of the church, any place, it seems to be specially designed, and it is one with nature, there are no high-rise buildings here, only one or two storey low buildings, and the tallest and most representative building may be the cathedral.
The population of the town is small, and you can occasionally see some people on the wide streets, and the whole town is like a beautiful picture scroll embedded in the world map, quiet and peaceful, like a fairy tale.
Zhang Bin and they chose a convenience store, and Zou Yu stepped forward to ask.
"They said that if they wanted to go to a nearby farm, it would be at least an hour away," Zou Yu said.
Yu Ling asked Zhang Bin for 50 million before and after, and he said that he wanted to buy a farm, but he didn't say the specific address, only said that it was in Carmel.
Zhang Bin took out the phone and dialed Yu Ling's number.
Yu Ling can not tell the phone number of other people, but Zhang Bin definitely knows.
Now that Carmel is here, of course Zhang Bin has to call Yu Ling.
"I'm in Carmel, and now I'm in the town, so come and pick it up," Zhang said.
"Zou Yu is with me," Zhang Bin said finally.
Yu Ling said that he would arrive soon, and Zhang Bin and the others rested in a square in the town.
Carmel is a tourist town, but despite this, it still doesn't seem to be many people, and Zhang Bin and his party are not too attention-grabbing.
"Nervous?" Sitting on the bench, admiring the beautiful scenery of the town, Zhang Bin suddenly asked.
"Why be nervous," Zou said.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Bin asked again.
"I don't know, let's see first".
