It is mainly engaged in R&D, manufacturing, licensing and providing a wide range of computer software services, and the most famous and best-selling products are Microsoftwww.xstxt.orgicrosoftoffice series software. It is the world's largest provider of computer software. Microsoft ranked 110th on the 2013 Fortune Global 500 list.

One of the purposes for Chen Yihua to come to the United States is Microsoft, now it is only 1975, Microsoft is a start-up, and there is no listing to raise funds, for Chen Yihua this is an opportunity to grow wealth, now to obtain the original shares of Microsoft, it should be very simple, Bill Gates and Paul Allen although they have now started the company, but the profit is not high, and they also need a lot of money to do personal research and development work.

In 1975, at the age of 19, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University in the United States to sell basic and Cornerstone with his high school alumnus, Paul Allen. Peiji means "Beginner's Omnidirectional Symbolic Instruction Code" and is a programming language designed for beginners.

When Gates was a student at Harvard, they wrote the language for MITS' Altair. Later, Gates and Allen moved to Albuquerque and founded Microsoft Corporation in a local hotel room.

Chen Yihua doesn't know if the two of them have designed a set of programming languages that beginners can also use, if the two of them design it and sell it, then Chen Yihua wants to buy shares at a high price.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen are both Seattle natives, and although they are based in Albuquerque, Chen believes that they should be found in Seattle, because it is around Christmas, and they should be at home, if not, Chen Yihua has to switch to Albuquerque.

To be honest, Chen Yihua doesn't know the specific addresses of the two, and now their company is not famous, Seattle is so big, fortunately, Chen Yihua knew about Bill Gates, the nominal richest man in the world, in his previous life, especially his mother, who made Chen Yihua deeply impressed, because his mother was a director of the banking system and the president of the international association United Way International.

On October 28, 1955, Bill Gates was born in a family in Seattle, Washington State on the west coast of the United States, his father William Henry Gates (Sr.) was a famous local lawyer, and his mother, Mary Max (www.xstxt.orgaxwell), who was the governor of the National Bank.

Because of such an identity, when Microsoft was founded, Bill Gates occupied more shares than Paul Allen, Paul Allen's family can only be regarded as a middle class, his father is only an assistant administrator of the University of Washington Library, in fact, Microsoft's success Paul Allen [***] is indispensable, Bill Gates occupied 60% of Microsoft's shares only because he came up with more startup funds than Paul Allen.

To be honest, Chen Yihua has been in the United States for several days, but he is still in a very bad mood, and he has not fully recovered from the blow of Heidi's departure, mainly because he is too depressed and feels aggrieved and panicked.

Before coming to the United States, Chen Yihua stayed in the Virgin Islands for one more day, and only came to Seattle the next day, and the three of them did not know what happened to Chen Yihua when he came to the United States, Chen Yihua only told them that he wanted to buy shares in the two companies.

Bill's family was very inquisitive, opened a room in a hotel in Seattle, and inquired about it on the same day, Chen Yihua decided to visit the next day, because he knew that Bill Gates and Paul Allen were both workaholics, and he was afraid that they would not stay in Seattle for long and miss them.

Chen Yihua didn't take Anna and Zhao Shuixin with him, only with Li Zade, after all, it was rude to go to someone else's house and not be familiar with going to so many people.

It was Bill's sister who opened the door, and when she saw that Chen Yihua was an Oriental and a mixed-race child, she heard that she was here to find her brother, so she warmly welcomed the two into the house.

Bill's house is a large house, close to the suburbs, a small estate, Bill has two older sisters, but neither of them is married, so he still lives with his parents.

'Hello, excuse me, are you looking for me' Bill asked curiously, looking at the two people sitting in the hall of his house.

Bill Gates is only nineteen years old now, and he looks like a big boy, but his appearance has not changed from later generations, and he is quite tall.

Chen Yihua stood up and shook Bill's hand; 'Hello, Bill, my name is Chen Yihua, this is lawyer Li Jiade, we are both from Hong Kong'

Hearing that Chen Yihua was from Hong Kong, Bill was really surprised, he didn't know them, and he didn't know what Chen Yihua was looking for him; "Hello, Chen, I've heard of Hong Kong, it's very far away, I don't know what you're looking for me."

"Hehe, I work for two foundations, specifically looking for some companies suitable for investment, I know that your Microsoft company develops personal software business, I am very interested in this industry, I think it is very suitable for investment, so I came to you" Chen Yihua said succinctly, there is no need to beat around the bush when talking to foreigners, Bill Gates is just a teenager, he has not experienced the influence of the business world, and Microsoft is not a big company now.

Bill listened to Chen Yihua's words and his eyes lit up, he and Paul Allen opened Microsoft, now not very profitable, is still pasting some money, although the "beginner's all-round symbol instruction code" was developed in 1975, but it was not officially put into use until 76 years, for this set of code, Bill and the two have not been fully developed, still burning money, can not bring profits, so hearing that someone invested will of course feel bright.

After a moment's hesitation, Bill said to Chen Yihua; "Chen, my company will not be sold, and my company now has only a few people, no fixed assets, only a few software."

Chen Yihua smiled; "Hehe, Bill, you may be mistaken, I don't want to buy your company, it's just an investment, I won't buy more than 40% of your company's equity, I have some understanding of Microsoft."

'Oh, yes, the company doesn't belong to me alone, it belongs to my good friend Paul Allen, if you want to take a stake, I'm going to ask him for his opinion first' Bill thought for a moment, and didn't say no.

Chen Yihua was not in a hurry, but just asked Bill and the two to discuss it first, and if they agreed, they would talk about it specifically.

To be honest, Americans are still very hospitable, perhaps because Chen Yihua is an Oriental, and he is a Hong Kong native, not himself, so Bill's family is very curious, and they also left Chen Yihua and Li Zade to eat, and after finishing business, plus Chen Yihua deliberately flattered, so he talked with Bill's family very happily, and Bill gradually became familiar with him, not only talked about the situation in Hong Kong, but also told Bill some software use, which made him feel like a confidant.

After a few days of discussion and coordination, Chen Yihua finally got what he wanted, and made friends with Bill and Paul Allen, originally Bill still admired Chen Yihua's theory, and the two also wanted Chen Yihua to work with them, but because Chen Yihua insisted on leaving the United States and returning to Hong Kong, they had to give up.

Chen Yihua did not invest in Microsoft in his personal name, but spent 90,000 US dollars to buy 30% of Microsoft's equity, 30,000 US dollars for every 10%, 10% of Nanchao Chen Fund, 20% of Seedling Fund, and finally Bill's equity became 50%, Paul Allen became 20%, and now 100,000 US dollars is not a small amount of money, to be honest, it costs 100,000 yuan to buy a company like Microsoft, and only 30% is paid, Bill They have already earned, of course, they can't know how valuable their company is in the future. Americans nowadays are talking about millionaires or something, and a million dollars can be a millionaire in the United States, and Bill's previous dream was to be a millionaire at the age of 30.

Paul Allen's family is not very wealthy, so he is still very excited to get 60,000 US dollars, if it weren't for the deep feelings for Microsoft, and Bill also needs him, persuade him on the side, otherwise Paul Allen will even sell the last 20% of the shares, this situation makes Chen Yihua amused, I didn't expect the future monopoly to make such a fuss for tens of thousands of dollars.

And this karma became the one thing Paul Allen regretted the most, and Paul Allen was always grateful to Bill, because he listened to Bill's persuasion to keep the remaining shares.

Chen Yihua of course can not do too much, if Paul Allen does not have shares, then he will not run, do software you have money and can not play, mainly rely on talent and technology, and the reason why Microsoft can grow stronger in the early stage, Bill Gates and Paul Allen is the greatest credit, so for Microsoft Chen Yihua do not have absolute control, as long as 30% on the line, because a Chinese can not run Microsoft in the United States as big as later generations.
