If nothing else, like Bill. Gates this guy, everyone knows that this guy bought a whole 5 acres of land to build a house in Lake Washington, Seattle, where every inch of land is at a premium, and the value of the land alone is nearly 10 million US dollars, and these 5 acres of land, lakes, rivers, forests, ...... You have everything, not only a piece of water of your own on Lake Washington, but also a dock of your own, and of course, there is no doubt that there is such a thing as a private tarmac, and it is not one, so to speak, Bill. This house in Gates is simply a private castle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Of course, living in such a big house is very enjoyable, but if you ask Bill. What is the biggest significance of the Gates house? He will not hesitate to tell you that the biggest significance of this house is to show the strength of Microsoft's partners.

To give an inappropriate example, if one day Bill. Gates sold his mansion, Microsoft's stock price will be greatly affected, and countless investors and owners of Microsoft shares will ask themselves in their hearts: what is the reason for Bill . Gates made the decision to sell the house? Could it be that Microsoft's finances are in trouble?

This reason, in fact, is the same as the fact that the bosses who are now rich in China try their best to buy a good car, and even if they don't have enough money in their hands, they have to borrow money to buy a good car, and show their strength to their partners and potential and future partners!

"It's time for a different house." Lin Zheng, who understood this truth very well, couldn't help but nodded.

"No, no, no, Lin, you're wrong," Bill. Gates seriously corrected Lin Zheng's thoughts, "If you like the current house, you can continue to hold it, but you need to buy a new house, you must know that as your private mansion, this house must show your strength and taste, and all links must have the best designer to help you design it...... Want to hear my advice? ”

There is Bill. Gates came over to help him with advice, of course Lin Zheng couldn't ask for it, and nodded hurriedly: "Of course, Bill, I need your help very much." ”

"It's not easy to hear that from your mouth," said Bill. Gates joked with Lin Zheng for a few sentences, and then said to Lin Zheng: "First of all, you need a mansion located on the outskirts of the city, not necessarily like mine, but there must be convenient sea, land and air transportation; ”

That's a big truth, like Bill. Gates's mansion is only a 25-minute drive from Seattle, which is a short distance compared to the living habits of America's wealthy people; Secondly, Bill. Gates' home is also only a half-hour drive from Seattle's municipal airport; At the same time, there is another small airport that can be alternated from Biel. Gates' home is also less than an hour's drive away; Third, Bill. Bill Gates' mansion is right on the edge of Lake Washington, and he has his own wharf. Gates, how convenient is it to be able to dock your own private luxury yacht at your doorstep?

The most important point is that it is not only convenient for themselves, but also for those super-rich who come to their homes to participate in various activities, and it is important to know that the time of the super-rich is very precious, and the requirements for the convenience of travel are also extremely demanding.

Seeing that Lin Zheng agreed with his words, Bill. Gates became more and more happy: "In addition to a mansion, you better have a place to vacation, at least the kind of place where you have a lake, a forest, a grassland, and a hunting ground, on which you and your friends can raft and hunt...... Of course, land is cheap in this kind of place, so given your status, you'd better build a small airport for private use for your friends to fly in......"

"How do I think these two places alone will require hundreds of millions of dollars?" Lin Zheng finally couldn't help it, and interrupted Bill, who was excited. Gates said with a bitter face.

"Hey man, you're also a super-rich man now, do you need to care about this money?" This time it's Bill. Gates was depressed: "This money also needs your one-time investment, and it needs you to invest it in the next two or three or even three or four years, and it ......"

looked Lin Zheng up and down, until Lin Zheng began to look at it. Gates put away his strange gaze and said to Lin Zheng: "Do you know that when your investment and home purchase plan is known by the bankers tonight, they will be excited to open their pockets to you?" You know, it's a lot of business! ”

Indeed, such as Soros's quantum fund, the interest rate is outrageously high, but the most important reason for such a high interest rate is the high risk that accompanies it, and even if it is a starving coward, this kind of opportunity is not available at any time. For banks, Lin Zheng's business, which can finalize the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the next few years, can already be regarded as a super business...... If you don't believe it, ask Bill, a super-rich man worth tens of billions. Comrade Gates, how much cash can he pull out now? It won't exceed $100 million.

Lin Zheng's heart moved when he heard this: "What if I plan to borrow more money?" ”

"Okay, what's wrong with that?" Bill. Gates looked at him strangely: "As long as you are willing to use your property as collateral, this is not a problem at all, in fact, these bankers wish you could take care of their business more...... But what you say is true? ”

"Yes, I do." Lin Zheng didn't hide it from him, and said calmly.

Bill. Gates nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, so those rumors are true." ”

"Rumors? What rumors? "Lin Zheng asked Bill. Gates said that he felt uncomfortable for a while, could it be that the American business community has begun to circulate some gossip about himself again?

"Saying that ICQ has been moving recently...... However, Lin, I'm also a shareholder of ICQ, ICQ has a move, should you tell me? "Bill. Gates said dissatisfied.

"......" Looking at the guy in front of him, Lin Zheng looked disdainful: "You are embarrassed to say that I, as a shareholder of the company, AOL is so tormented, why haven't I seen you stand up and say a few words for the company?" ”

Listening to Lin Zheng's words, Bill. Gates couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, indeed, in the matter of AOL, what he did was not very authentic.

"Okay, I'll admit that I was negligent in this matter, don't worry, I'll negotiate with AOL people, but can you tell me what you're going to do?" As the richest man in the world, Bill. Gates is proud to be the richest man in the world, although Microsoft is also blushing at ICQ, and is also wondering whether to build a real-time chat software to take a share of this booming industry. Gates has used his knowledge of ICQ to help Microsoft, but at the same time, as a shareholder of ICQ, he also admits that he has taken care of ICQ a little inadequately.

There is nothing that can't be said, Lin Zheng said frankly: "Oh, I plan to open a membership fee system on ICQ." ”

The richest man in the world is the richest man in the world, and he was not shocked by Lin Zheng's words, he just frowned, and asked Lin Zheng: "Do you plan to use this method to fight AOL?" ”

"yes, what's the problem?"

"What's the problem?" This time, in the face of Lin Zheng's whimsical ideas, Bill. Gates also had to smile bitterly: "Although I don't know what you're going to do yet, I know that either ICQ defeated AOL or you made a very stupid decision." ”

"So what do you think it is now?" Listen to Bill. Gates said this, and Lin Zheng asked with interest.

"I don't know," said Bill. Gates shook his head sharply: "I'm sure you're not making a stupid move, you must have a reason for doing this, and you're quite confident that you can beat your opponent in this way, but I really don't understand how you use the fee system to fight against AOL's ever-increasing number of users...... Don't tell me that new user sign-ups cost money. ”

"Do you think my IQ is so low? Free for life has always been ICQ's promise. ”

"Free for life?" I never thought that Lin Zheng would have the face to shout such a shameless slogan while proposing a membership fee system, so that even Bill. Gates was stunned: Can you be more shameless?

"In fact, it is very simple, all newly registered users are free, and they can also use all the functions of ICQ, but after users pay a fee to become a member, they can enjoy more value-added services......

Needless to say, that's all there is to it, Bill. Gates immediately understood what Lin Zheng meant: Yes, ICQ promises to be free for life, as long as you don't use these value-added features, your ICQ is free for life, but if you want to use some value-added services, it will cost money.

In this way, not only can we rely on the loud slogan of "free for life" to attract more people and bring stronger popularity, but at the same time, with such a huge base, even if only 1 person chooses to become a member, the membership fee is a huge amount of money...... Bill. Gates has to admit that this is indeed a good idea.

"It's a pity," said Bill. Gates smiled bitterly: "Although this method is good, Microsoft is not easy to use." ”

But isn't it, in the United States, it's not cheap to buy a genuine Windows95 operating system, the system itself includes the price of follow-up services, if Microsoft dares to charge money again, it's impatient to live. r1152
