It was a long time before Bill raised his head and looked at Jester carefully, earnestly and intriguingly for a long time before he sighed. +

"You're talking about alliances?"

At this time, Bill Gate said the word used in Jester's words just now, not cooperation, but alliance.

"Yes, ally."

Jester said with a smile, as if to say something very general.

However, Bill's gate was obviously deliberate, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, and he may not have made up his mind, but in the end he still shook his head and rejected Jester's proposal: "I don't want to go so deep at the beginning, cooperation can be discussed, and the time for an alliance has not yet arrived." ”

Hearing Bill's answer, although Jester's face has not yet shown a sound, but he is still a little disappointed in his heart, he knows that in the near future, Microsoft will form a prestigious Weitel alliance with Intel, it is this alliance that works closely together to finally complete the unification of the PC field, but Jester thinks about it carefully and knows that the reason why Microsoft will form this alliance with Intel in the future is because they can complement each other in their respective areas of strength, and he does not have the strength to impress Microsoft.

At least the game industry, especially the PC game industry, is not favored by Billgate, in fact, even Jester is not very optimistic.

Bill Gate is not very anxious about the cooperation, he cares more about Jester saying that he will buy Microsoft's shares, to be honest, Microsoft's shares are not difficult to sell now, many people want to buy, the problem is at this critical moment, at the beginning of the new year, he will go public, who will sell his shares to is the main thing. And Jester is indeed a more suitable choice.

No, Jester is famous enough, rich enough, and legendary enough to start a business.

Of course, this purchase is certainly not a small amount, and the price will not be low.

Bill asked the question of how much Microsoft shares Jester would buy, and Jester thought about it, although he couldn't buy too little, he couldn't buy too much. It's good to keep a relatively modest amount, and if you want, you can continue to increase your holdings of Microsoft stock in the future, because Jester knows that the report that Microsoft can bring to him must be rich and terrible.

So, Jester broke out a price.

Although Bill had heard about Mars Entertainment's money-making before, a game could sell more than 100 million dollars in just a few days, and it seemed to him that there was moisture in it. However, looking at Jester's boldness, it doesn't seem to be fake, he is very satisfied with this offer, and expresses his sincerity. It can also serve the purpose of propaganda to attract attention, and it is not noisy, he essentially agrees.

Microsoft is not a company that he can say alone, although he is the founder of Microsoft. So far, it still holds the vast majority of Microsoft's shares, and the sale of such a large amount of shares, which is about 5% of the total shares, still needs to be discussed by the board of directors.

But first, Bill Gate needs to understand. The other party paid this money to buy Microsoft's shares, in addition to showing his sincerity, but also to ensure that the other party is not for the purpose of selling shares after Microsoft's listing, although there will definitely be a ban on trading for one or two years when trading stocks, and it is not necessarily true to ask Jester now, but Bill Gate still feels that it is more appropriate to ask.

And Jester's answer also made Bill Gate extremely satisfied.

"Mr. Bill, actually, I know that when you were in today's speech, I had this plan, I heard that you are now raising shares, and your company is also planning to go public after the year, I am very interested in this, so I have the words that I just met at UCLA today, of course, I am also very sincere about the cooperation of graphics operating systems, and I also want to form an alliance with your Microsoft company."

Bill Gate smiled after hearing this, he felt that it was not impossible to form an alliance, but it was not necessary for the time being, in his eyes, the development intersection of Jester's game company and his Microsoft company could not intersect.

In the end, the two only reached a verbal agreement, and the specific content will have to wait for a later agreement.

Before leaving, Bill also invited Jester to a charity gala he held a month later, there would be a small charity sale, and of course, the most important thing was to discuss Microsoft's IPO, which would be attended by many Wall Street bigwigs.

Jester also agreed, he didn't care about the big man on Wall Street, because his company would not go public, and he wouldn't have anything to do with those people, and the future was unclear, at least for now, and Sandy. Will is also steadily carrying out his plans for a comeback, and the acquisition of the commercial credit company is basically negotiated, and in a few years, he will be second only to Sandy as a commercial credit company. Will's shareholder, he himself will naturally become a big man on Wall Street.

A few days after his return, Jester originally wanted to think about what he should do with his next game, but now that "Heavy Loader" is about to be released, his team has also taken a vacation to make corrections, and some people in the team have vaguely expressed the idea of wanting to make their own game, which Jester has to consider.

As the company has grown, Mars Entertainment has now become the world's largest game development company, and as far as Jester knows, at the same time, his company has at least seven or more games in production at the same time, and the development team, including those wholly owned by independent studios, has a total of more than ten.

The more the development team, the better, but Jester is also happy to let it go, and those design teams whose works do not sell well will naturally face the embarrassment of disbandment.

It's so cruel in game development, although looking at the brilliance of those successful designers, and the development team that produces the best-selling masterpieces can also turn sparrows into phoenixes and become extravagant in an instant, but at the feet of these famous development teams, what gives them a foothold is one failed development team or studio after another.

Some of the development groups that have been able to make a name for themselves in future generations have actually stumbled, not only in Japan, but also in the United States, such as Naughty Dog, which was founded on a whim by two high school students who love games, one of whom is responsible for programming and the other is responsible for drawing.

At the beginning, Naughty Dog's games were only made for their classmates to play, and the games made were only PC games - as for why not make FC or NES games, it's not like you can make Zuò if you want to, although not the game company of the Nintendo FC League can also buy a development machine to develop games on the FC, but Nintendo's game review is very strict, and Nintendo's certification is synonymous with quality at that time.

Whether you can pass Nintendo's certification and not let your development investment go down the drain I won't say, but the price of the FC development machine is not something that two high school students can afford.

At that time, the two founders' game company was not called Naughty Dog, but Jam Software, and their first game made two hundred dollars from their classmates, which greatly boosted their confidence, and they began to develop on the popular Apple 2 computer at the time.

To be honest, if the first generation of game designers in Japan was trained through guòfc, then the first generation of game designers in the United States was exercised from Apple 2, unlike other PCs, at that time, Apple2's propaganda was that this was an entertainment computer, to put it bluntly, this is the meaning of a game console, so Apple 2 compared to other brands of computers, although the configuration is not enough, but it is very popular with children, and there are many game programs on it.

Basically, the first batch of computer game developers in the United States started their game development path with the Apple 2 computer.

Naughty Dog, or jam software, didn't go very well, they started to make games on Apple 2, experienced many failures, but also had some minor successes, and one of the people in charge of EA even met with them and encouraged them, but the two young people and their pet, a pet dog named Morgan, were also confused, and in the face of the heavy workload in college, they felt that they should continue the game company that had been renamed Naughty Dog.

Later, when these two young people were confused about their future, they met Mark Murphy, who was then the vice president of Universal Interactive Entertainment, which later became the vice president of Weiwangdi Entertainment. Saini meets them, and after learning about their experiences and games, Mark Brown. Seni immediately knew what a treasure the two men he had met, and began to guide and help them in any way he could.

So much so that after that, the two founders of Naughty Dog talked about Mark. When Saini was around, he would always call him his spiritual mentor, and without him, he might not be where Naughty Dog is today.

And now Jester is also in a kind of confusion, not that he has no inspiration for games, in fact, even if the games in his mind are one a day, he can't finish copying them for ten years, but Jester wrote four or five game plans in a row this time, but they all suddenly had a sense of disgust at the beginning, and then tore a lot of projects to shreds.

He suddenly didn't know what game he should make as well. (To be continued......) R752
