Bill Gates wants to meet Roland, and it's actually quite simple.

In fact, he didn't have to save the country, he didn't need Paul Allen to ask Steven Spielberg, he just needed to call Roland, and the guy who wanted to find a thigh hug all over the world would run to Seattle.

Because Bill Gates is a Microsoft founder?

Come on, for Roland, this identity is not important at all.

Behind Bill Gates, it's what Roland likes.

Many media say that Bill Gates has a good mother, so Microsoft can make a fortune, but why doesn't anyone say that he has a good father who can help Microsoft change one for one when Microsoft is deeply involved in the antitrust investigation?

After federal judge Thomas Jackson publicly declared that the evidence gathered by the court could prove that Microsoft did indeed have monopolistic practices, the appeals court directly overturned Thomas Jackson's ruling, and within two months, the judge was dismissed for a series of inexplicable crimes, and the new judge was his father's man.

It is precisely because of the background that the law is nothing, that Bill Gates' reputation in America is stinky.

How stinky is it?

He advocated that people in the third world should be vaccinated to avoid the pain and harm caused by the disease to the family, and his logic was: children should be vaccinated - child mortality rate will decrease - parents do not need to have more children to ensure the survival rate of family children - people in the third world can put aside the pressure of childbirth and devote more energy to other projects.

However, because of their hatred of the second generation, the Americans believe that vaccinating people in the Third World is to make them have fewer children and exterminate themselves, which is a cruel and inhumane act.

Bill Gates damn it!

And in a year or five, he said in a speech that high infectious diseases are more deadly than war, and five years later, when the disaster struck, he funded the testing and treatment of the Seattle area, and then the people of America went crazy again.

They feel that Bill Gates, a god-level whistleblower, is a virus maker, and his purpose in creating the virus is to cut down the guys who are unwilling to vaccinate and do not approve of him letting people get vaccinated, and those survivors who are favored by him and receive treatment will become his believers, and he himself will control human beings and become God through treatment.

Bill Gates is damned!

╮(╯▽╰)╭

It's really powerless to complain.

Happy education has taught a bunch of stupid beeps.

Roland couldn't believe that there was such a brain circuit guy in the world!

The point is that there are still a bunch of them!

No wonder many people believe that injecting disinfectant into their bodies can kill the virus!

A bunch of brain-dead people, okay!

But it is precisely because of the existence of these stupid beeps that it actually confirms how good Bill Gates is.

The background is too big, and ordinary people who are big can feel scared.

The front foot was subject to an antitrust investigation, and the back foot received a large order for nuclear-powered aircraft carrier software and defense information security systems, and then together with Lockheed Martin, it ate up the technology upgrade service of the US Air Force's large space command and control center.

Monopolize?

I'm a monopoly, what can you do with me?

I didn't have an umbrella before, but now, whoever investigates me can't get along with national security!

If you don't need me to do anything, you're gone!

With such thick thighs in front of Roland, if he doesn't hold them, isn't it a lack of heart?

However, before Spielberg received the invitation, he called Roland, and Bill Gates, who personally invited Jobs, also encountered problems.

"Haven't you been focusing on the development of IE4.0 lately? Why would you call me during work hours? ”

“What？ You're coming to California? Did I hear me right? IE4.0 is going to be released this year, how do you still have time to run around? ”

"Invite me to dinner?"

“Wow，wow，wow…… William, are you trying to laugh at me? If you don't have a place to eat, why don't you get off the plane and go straight to my house? What else to call? I'm very busy now, I'll talk about it when I meet, hang up......"

"Huh? What did you say? You're not in Cupertino, you're going to Los Angeles? ”

"Who are you looking for in Los Angeles?"

"What? Go to DreamWorks with Paul and treat Steven and Roland to a meal by the way? ”

When Steve Jobs, who was sitting at the desk, heard the itinerary information revealed by Bill Gates on the other end of the phone, the guy who was smiling, holding the earpiece, and writing hard, stopped what he was doing.

When he put down the pen, he raised his right hand and replaced the earpiece stuck on his left shoulder to his right ear.

Ben's eyes in the writing area swayed and cleaned, and when he saw the report on the adjustment of the company's shareholder directory on the table, the dazzling Shouwang Venture Capital and Microsoft made him raise his eyebrows.

Since the document is wrapped in transparent plastic packaging, the contents on it are clearly legible.

As of April 1, Apple's largest shareholder is Shouwang Venture Capital, holding 10.73% of the shares; Microsoft, Apple's second largest shareholder, holds 7.5 percent (non-voting shares). ’

The report had already arrived in his hands at the time of the shareholder disclosure, and the reason why he had stayed here was because he thanked his friends for their kindness, but he really couldn't accept it.

"William, didn't I say that I can reshuffle Apple's board of directors without your help."

'Gil Amelio will be kicked out by me and he won't cause me any problems.'

If someone else wanted to help Jobs, he would have scolded him a long time ago, but Bill Gates is different.

Similar to Steven Spielberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have known each other for more than two decades.

In April 1977, Jobs took the Apple II prototype to the computer exhibition, when he met Bill Gates, at that time Gates was selling BASIC with Paul Allen, after seeing the amazing Apple prototype, Bill Gates flew to Apple's headquarters without doing a proper job, wanting to learn life experience from Jobs.

In the 80s, Steve Jobs, who had tinkered with the Macintosh, needed help from a microprocessor, so he flew to Microsoft's headquarters every day, and with the cooperation of the two sides, the first personal computer with a graphical user interface appeared.

Eighty-five years ago, the two were brothers who talked about everything, but after the release of Windows, the relationship between the two was estranged, Jobs accused Gates of stealing his own results, and Gates said, the two of us, stole the research crystals in the XeroxPARC laboratory.

But it didn't take long for Jobs to be kicked out of Apple, with his departure, Microsoft was invincible in the PC field, and after leaving the field he was good at, Jobs, who had nothing to do, didn't care about his former friends, until 96 when he shot a documentary, he still claimed that Microsoft was just a nerd victory.

Time may be the best medicine, although the two often openly fight each other, but when Microsoft funded Apple, Jobs still modified the 1.5 billion free aid, promised to build IE on Apple's computers, and gave up all lawsuits accusing Microsoft of copyright infringement, and Microsoft also sent personnel to update the office series on Mac, giving Apple software support.

You say that they hold a grudge against each other, then they can really fight, but you say that they don't get along with each other for a long time, neither of them is stupid, and if the other party really has a problem, they will still give a helping hand.

It's just that both sides have their own pride, and they don't allow others to point fingers at their children, so both sides will do this kind of thing like helping the horse, as for giving it a ride......

They all felt that this kind of care was a bit redundant.

But, remember, naturally, remembered.

It is with this strange feeling that after hearing Jobs's extremely firm words, Bill Gates did not insist, but said: "Microsoft is holding non-voting stock, this thing can't help you reshuffle Apple's board of directors, okay?" ”

"I did talk to Jill Amelio, but what I told him was that you're just a salesman and you don't know anything about the product itself, so he doesn't have to care what you think, because you don't understand anything."

If it were someone else, he would have been angry with this kind of insulting remarks, but both sides knew the temper of the other, so after hearing this kind of words, Jobs's cold face regained its brilliance.

Not only that, but he also laughed and ridiculed: "Yes, you understand the product, but you don't have taste, you don't know what users like at all, you only know what business means to use to make the company develop better!" Microsoft's Windows is just a product that users can't bypass, and it doesn't bring any cultural attributes to people at all! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter on the other end of the phone.

And after hearing two different chaotic sounds, Jobs also understood, "Paul is there too?" ”

"yes, Steve, long time no see." Paul Allen, who didn't hide, smiled happily.

"Oh!" Hearing the teasing words, Jobs shook his head repeatedly.

"The two of you are still the same as you were twenty years ago, one is on the phone, the other is eavesdropping!"

"How can this be called eavesdropping? William just called you in front of me......" Paul Allen retorted.

"Okay, Okay......" Jobs didn't bother to pay attention to these two living treasures, "since you are also here, then we just want to make things clear, did you instruct Roland Allen to buy the Apple stock in his hand?" ”

"You really don't need to do that, those guys on Apple's board of directors aren't my opponents at all."

That's the benefit of having a relationship all over the world.

Roland Allen is doing something now, and what others are thinking about is not what he wants to do, but who made him do it.

Just like the current Apple stock, after Steve Jobs got the report, he only had two thoughts in his head:

First, Bill Gates and Paul Allen wanted to keep themselves in power, but they couldn't make a direct move, so they made a detour and let Steven Spielberg, the guy at the helm of DreamWorks who has a good relationship with Microsoft, come forward to hold Apple stock, clean up the opposition in the board of directors, and let him control Apple in the shortest possible time.

Second, it was naturally DreamWorks, which had been learning from Pixar, to take the initiative, and Steven Spielberg, who had maintained a friendship with him for more than 20 years, signaled his students to pay for help and help him clean up the enemy, and in doing so, he also hoped that DreamWorks Animation could cooperate well with Pixar.

As for Roland Allen himself wanting to buy Apple stock?

This kind of thing can only be pondered by Bill Gates, who studies how to defeat Netscape every day.

After the others learned about this kind of thing, they naturally thought that Roland had a lot of backers behind him, whether to beat me or help me, I had to think about it, and when this group of guys made up for it, Roland became harmless to humans and animals.

At least, compared to the bloody and cruel predators behind Roland, Roland is still quite cute.

However, just when Jobs thought that he had guessed correctly, there were denials on the other end of the earpiece.

"Steve, this matter has nothing to do with me, 7.5 equity is already my limit, I won't let Microsoft invest too much." Bill Gates said in a sincere tone.

"Steve, I didn't do that." Paul Allen said with a smile: "Moreover, I just learned from William that Roland not only bought Apple's shares, but also frantically swept away Microsoft's shares in the primary market. ”

"It's not one percent, but it's almost there."

"If we had asked him to help you, he would have owned more than 20 percent of Apple by now."

"Besides, it shouldn't have been Steven's doing."

seems to feel that the words are unfounded and groundless, so Paul Allen relayed what he had just seen, and when Jobs learned that Roland was actually Internet brand content, he had been pondering for the past ten days who Roland was working for, and gradually accepted the fact that Roland might be an investor.

Not only that, but he said unexpectedly: "Blizzard Entertainment is a wholly-owned company of Roland? ”

"I heard Tripp Hawkins talk to him before."

"It's a very good game content company, so good that EA wants to buy it at a premium."

"I was curious before, how could a company like EA not be able to acquire its peers."

"Now it seems that Blizzard Entertainment really can't buy it."

At this, the three of them laughed at the same time.

Company acquisitions in business, that's perfectly normal.

But there are many companies that you can acquire without you wanting to.

Just like Boeing cannot be acquired by foreign capital, many small companies, that are the interests of the bigwigs.

People are not short of money and power, and you want to expand by acquiring companies in the hands of such people?

Dream on!

And after making everything clear, Jobs finally agreed to Bill Gates' invitation.

However, when agreeing, he also deliberately emphasized, "I didn't attend a private dinner because of you, I just wanted to get to know Apple's major shareholder, Steven's student, Okay?" ”

"Know, know, know......"

Bill Gates and Paul Allen nodded again and again, but while answering, the two middle-aged people lying on the table laughed like children, where would they not know that Jobs was a dead duck with a hard mouth?

Obviously, they aroused Jobs's curiosity about Roland, so they had to pretend to be like no one.

It's really a death to save face and suffer a crime!

"Well, what day is that time?"

"At the beginning of May, Steven's "Broken Lock" will not be filmed until the end of April, and in mid-May, they will go to the United Kingdom, and I heard that they will undergo half a month of military training before filming "Saving Private Ryan"?"

"Okay, determine the time, call me directly, hang up, you have wasted too much of my time."

When Jobs hung up the phone mercilessly, the two people who listened to the beep shook their heads with a smile.

"He's still like that."

"Pretend, if you can pretend for a lifetime, he's amazing."

While hanging up, Jobs picked up the receiver again and dialed the cornet within the company.

After the sound of inquiry came from the earpiece, he blurted out a neat order.

"Tell the board that Roland Allen is my man, and in three days, I want to see Jill Amelio get out of the company with his stuff, otherwise, wait for the extraordinary general meeting."

"At that time, everybody, you have to get out."

Syllable!

Without giving the other side any time to reminisce, Jobs had already hung up the phone.

After two seconds of silence, he laughed first.

Right! He has his pride, but he's not stupid!

His return to Apple is to make a comeback, and before that, of course, it will be in power!

He doesn't want to borrow the power of Bill Gates, but Roland Allen......

Hold the grass, was it okay for me to play games with your teacher back then?

Pixar was also bought with his help!

We're not outsiders!

If you help your own people, it's not a help at all, right?

If you let Roland know, after so many bullshit stove things happened in a day that he didn't know.

He's going to be laughing and his head is going to fall off.

These shares are for you! You just have to open people!
