When Jester said that he wanted to work with Microsoft on the development of a visual operating system, Bill was stunned at first, and then his face showed a look of ecstasy, he was really anxious about this thing recently, although he also saw the future development direction of computers from Apple's Macintosh computer, but he was not very satisfied with the visual operating system they had just developed, because compared to Apple's, it was too far behind. *

To say that the investment and the duration of research and development of this thing are unknown, and from the current situation, this may be a long period of time without a profitable research and development plan, it may be five years, or eight years, or even ten years, he also wants to find a partner to share this risk with him, but unfortunately, those who are interested, he can't look at it, and those who are eye-catching, but they are not interested in this thing.

Bill Gate scoffs at these people, because in his eyes, the operating system represents the future.

It's just the operating system, and he is the most disdainful of Apple's kind of system that has to be bound to their computers, in fact, Bill Gate is also thinking that if Jobs didn't have to make his computer, but developed a visual operating system like their Macintosh for those compatible machines, maybe he would be even more anxious now.

But Bill was also gloating a little, as it seems that he had recently heard the news that Apple's board of directors seemed to be planning to kick Jobs out of Apple.

Bill's eyes were suspicious when he looked at Jester, he didn't believe much in Jester's statement that they would develop a visual operating system together, in fact, he had also paid attention to Jester's news before, this person who was younger than him, but richer than him was often compared to him by various media, Bill was not a stingy person, he didn't feel any resentment because Jester was ranked above him.

Because he knew that the development of the operating system he was engaged in must be bright. And Jester's video game industry, well, although Bill also thinks that there will be a good development in the future, but compared with the prospects of his own computer operating system, it is not the same day at all, and he has also heard Jester's remarks about a closed ecosystem similar to Apple, especially his so-called supercomputer game console at the CES show, he scoffed at this, in his eyes, closed means a dead end.

So. When Jester said that he wanted to work with him on the development of a visual operating system, Bill Gate was puzzled, and even wanted to refuse, his Microsoft didn't want to make a system for a company's computer, even IBM couldn't do it, let alone Jester's Mars Entertainment.

Just as Bill's gate was about to politely refuse, Jester was the first to speak.

"Mr. Bill, I don't mean that unrealistic computer plan of mine. It's a real, generalizable visual operating system, and I think that's the way forward. Jester said truthfully.

Hearing Jester's words, Bill's words were already on the tip of his tongue and swallowed back. He glanced at Jester again, as if he couldn't understand what the other party was thinking, and he was about to say something more when he heard UCLA call him over. Saying that his speech was ready, Bill had no choice but to make an appointment with Jester. After the morning speaking engagement, meet at a restaurant in Los Angeles.

Jester nodded in agreement.

Jester was also listening to the speech at Billgate, to be honest, Billgate was the kind of person who was very good at speaking, speaking with passion, and he was also wearing a casual attire, which gave the young students present a sense of closeness, as if in front of them was not a billionaire who was about the same age as them, but a senior of theirs.

And Bill's language is humorous, and the audience laughs from time to time.

Jester was proud of this.

The whole speech of more than 40 minutes was wonderful, even Jester couldn't help but be content to immerse himself in Bill's telling, his entrepreneurial story, telling some of his trivia, originally just some very simple things, from Bill's mouth to tell, but there is an inexplicable attraction, to Bill near the end, to make the final summary, Jester can't help but sigh, worthy of what he once mentioned in some interviews, Bill Gate is a very powerful speaker.

"It's outstanding." After Bill's resignation, Jester also sent his appreciation.

After all, it was the first time for Jester to give a speech in front of so many people, looking at the black press in front of him, with a curious look, when he was a student about the same age, it was impossible not to be nervous, and he also saw some familiar figures among the students, all of whom were his classmates when he was studying here, and these people were still waving his hands and greeting him.

And Jester also smiled in return, he was in the limelight, naturally it was impossible to wave this kind of behavior, not that it was not elegant, but too ostentatious.

After a pause, Jester first reviewed the content of the speech he had rushed out a few days ago in his mind, and then smiled and began his first formal speech in his life.

"Cheers!"

In a restaurant in Los Angeles, Bill's door and Jester's were slammed together, the amber liquid was crystal clear, Bill Gate took a slight sip, and then said sincerely: "If you don't say it, I won't believe that this is your first formal speech, it's really great, and the applause from the audience is proof." ”

Jester as a person with a domestic soul is still relatively modest in character, although he has been learning how to be an American as much as possible for more than a year, but in the face of Bill's appreciation, he is still very modest to say that he dare not be, after a few words of humility, Bill Gate finally took the initiative to reintroduce the topic to the visual operating system that Jester said before.

Jester put down his glass and frowned slightly, as if he had thought for a moment before speaking.

"In fact, although I think that the visual operating system is the general trend of the computer's operating system in the future, but this is also extremely time-taking, it cannot be achieved overnight, the current visual operating system, in fact, is not a real graphical operating system, but it is just a little trick, Apple is doing this, and I think if your company is also developing, it should be similar."

Jester smiled, in case Bill didn't admit it, he also took out the evidence: "Mr. Bill, although I am a game company, I also only make hardware, and ATI graphics card companies are paying attention to the current PC hardware all year round, with all due respect, I also discussed with Mr. He of ATI before, as far as the current PC hardware is concerned, it is impossible to store Zài's real graphics operating system." ”

"Huh."

Bill Gate just smiled, he didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, but talked about the visual operating system that Microsoft is currently making: "Actually, Mr. Li, my company's first visual operating system has been designed, and now it is undergoing black box testing, and the interview will be available in November." ”

Obviously, although this is not a secret, but in the eyes of Bill, Jester is not their line after all, even if they know that they are developing their own visual graphics operating system, but after all, they will not know too much about what the level of this system is, in fact, even if it is in their industry, there are very few people who have tested this system.

To Bill's surprise, Jester smiled indifferently and took a sip of his glass before speaking.

"Honestly, Mr. Bill, I'm not yet twenty-one years old, so it's illegal to drink, but that's not the point, the point is, are you happy with your operating system?"

Bill Gate just smiled noncommittally, he avoided the question, and instead smiled and asked casually, "Assuming we work together, what can you give?" You must know that although I don't have as much money as you now, I am now raising shares, and I can go public in the next year, and there will be no shortage of R&D funds, and you are not as good as us in terms of computer operating system technology - let me ask, why should I develop it with you? ”

"Mr. Bill, let me answer your second question first, you say that you are technologically advanced, IMHO, what are your achievements in graphics operating systems? If there is only the level of Apple's Macintosh, then the technology is not unattainable, and if there is not even that level, I don't think there is any need to talk about technological leadership or anything like that, everyone is starting from scratch, and it is impossible to say who is better than whom. ”

Saying that, Jester smiled, "The next question, as for what you said about the fact that you will not be short of funds after the IPO, I have about two points to say, one is that if we can officially form an alliance in this regard, and I will take out a large sum of money to buy shares from you at a high price, then the result of your IPO will be beneficial and harmless, I think you also understand what this good news represents before going public, and the second point is very simple, although you and I both know that the future is the era of graphical operating systems, But where did this era begin, no one knows, five years or ten years? I don't know if you don't want someone to take risks with you? ”

Hearing Jester's words, Bill Gate did not answer immediately, but fell silent. (To be continued......) R752
