On this day, Bill Gates was dealing with the company's affairs as usual, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Bill Gates raised his head and looked at the door, then looked at his watch, and frowned, who came back to disturb him at this time? It stands to reason that they should all be working right now.

"Please come in." Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Bill Gates shouted, and then kept his eyes on the door.

The door was opened, and Bill Gates looked at the person, laughed at himself, and then put a smile on his face and asked, "Lucy, is there something wrong?" ”

The girl named Lucy heard Bill Gates's question, smiled and said, "Boss, there is someone outside looking for you, saying that there is something important to talk to you about." ”

Have something important to talk to yourself? Bill Gates was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and asked, "Then did he say something important?" ”

Lucy shook her head and said, "He didn't say this, he said he wanted to tell you personally." ”

Bill Gates frowned and began to think about the other party's intentions.

After thinking about it, I still didn't understand that the few software developed by my company recently have no merit, and they have been criticized by those experts as useless, and this person is obviously not here to talk about business.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Bill Gates still smiled and said, "You can invite the other party in." ”

Lucy said yes and closed the door and went out.

After a while, Lucy led a knock on the door and walked in.

Seeing the visitor, Bill Gates was slightly stunned, a very unfamiliar face, but from the confident face of the visitor, it can be seen that the person should not be from a small company, in addition, the person who came is still very energetic, and the end of that spirit is not comparable to the employees in his own company.

Although he was a little surprised, Bill Gates still got up and walked over, and said with a smile: "Hello." ”

"Hello, Mr. Bill Gates." The visitor also said with a smile.

"I heard my secretary say that you have something important to talk to me about, and I don't know what Mr. wants to talk about." Bill Gates gets straight to the point.

The person who came smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Before talking about business, let me introduce myself, my name is Clyde." The purpose of my visit this time is mainly for your company. ”

It was none other than Clyde.

"For our company, does Mr. want to cooperate with our company?" Bill Gates asked.

"No, no, sir, I think you misunderstood. Your product is good, but I don't need it. Clyde said with a smile and shook his head.

Hearing that the other party said that his company's products were good, Bill Gates's face was slightly red, but when he heard that the other party was not here to talk about business, he was a little frustrated, but in politeness, he still asked: "Then I don't know what Mr. wants to talk about?" ”

"As far as I know, Mr. Bill Gates' company seems to have some financial problems?" Clyde didn't answer Bill Gates' words, but asked nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Bill Gates frowned, but still said: "Yes, since our company's business is to develop software, and Mr. should also know that our company's recent performance is not very good, so it is normal for financial problems to occur, but I believe that all this will pass." ”

Hearing Bill Gates's words, Clyde suddenly thought to himself, your performance is not good, it is simply nothing, millions of dollars of software can not even recover the cost, how good can it be?

But after thinking about it, Clyde still smiled and said, "I'm here mainly to solve this matter for your company." ”

Solving this matter, Bill Gates's wrinkles deepened and asked, "I wonder how Mr. wants to solve this problem?" ”

Clyde smiled and said, "I will give enough money to buy 70% of your company's shares, so that your company will have the funds to carry out the research and development you want." ”

As soon as Clyde said, Bill Gates said angrily: "No way, if you want to buy Microsoft, you will never be able to." ”

Hearing Bill Gates's anger, Clyde smiled slightly, he had expected this scene a long time ago, only to see him smile and say: "Mr. Bill Gates doesn't have to be like this, we can sit down and have a good talk, your company is short of funds, and it just so happens that I have funds in my hands, we can cooperate." ”

Hearing Clyde say this, Bill Gates's mood calmed down a little, but he still hummed: "Even if we lack funds, I won't sell the company." ”

Clyde listened and said indifferently: "In this way, I only need 51% of the shares, so that the company is still in charge of Mr. Bill Gates, what do you think?" ”

"Impossible, what's the difference between 51% and 70%, aren't the companies all in your hands? I said, I'm not going to sell the company. Bill Gates refused.

Hearing Bill Gates say this, Clyde knew that there was an opportunity to buy Microsoft's shares, but it was just a matter of how much he could buy.

"How much does Mr. Bill Gates think is better?" Since the other party was not satisfied, Clyde simply kicked the ball directly to the other party.

"I said I wouldn't sell Microsoft, that's my dream." When it comes to Microsoft, Bill Gates has a smile on his face, and it's clear that he cares about his dreams.

Seeing Bill Gates like this, Clyde was speechless, it seemed that this kid had not only brought his employees to his dreams, but also brought him in.

"As I said just now, we just need shares in Microsoft, not decision-making, and it is this company and Mr. Bill Gates that we are looking for, so the company's decision-makers will definitely not change." Clyde said.

"Sir, if you really want to take a stake in Microsoft, then I will sell you 10% of the company." Bill Gates said.

10%？ Clyde frowned, not to mention this number, even the minimum stake said by the boss could not be reached, besides, what is the use of this 10% stake?

"Mr. Bill Gates, if it was just for the 10% stake, do you think I would deliberately run here once?" Clyde said with a shrug.

The most important thing to avoid in negotiation is to reveal your expression and bottom line to the other party, which will undoubtedly let the other party see and do something unfavorable to yourself.

Hearing Clyde say this, Bill Gates was embarrassed for a while, and said with a smile: "How much does that gentleman want?" ”

"49 percent, we don't participate in decision-making." Clyde said.

It is impossible for this number to take away the decision-making power of the company, but he forgot that Microsoft is not Bill Gates's Microsoft alone, there is another shareholder, Allen? Paul.
