Chapter 270: The Big Knock
I flew from Louisiana to California, and then went straight to NZ Technology, and when I walked into the company, I found that there were two more familiar faces in the company's lobby, to be precise, I knew them, and they didn't know them, Zuckerberg was talking to those two people.
Seeing Nie Huan coming, Zuckerberg showed an unexpected smile and gave each other a friendly hug, while the other two guests looked at Nie Huan with a smile, this guy's fame trajectory seems to be faster than the two of them at the beginning.
"Hello, Bill, Paul, it's really a surprise to see you in the company." Nie Huan stretched out his left hand, these two are predators on the Forbes list, and one of them is the richest man, why are the two of them here.
These two comers, is the above-mentioned Bill Gates and Paul Allen, these two can be said to be legends and pioneers in the IT industry, although there are many successful people behind them, but still far less than their achievements, their initiative directly opened another era of computers, but also let them really go to the peak of life.
"The two of us have actually wanted to come for a long time, but we haven't had the chance, this time I came at Christmas, I didn't expect to really meet you in the company, we just chatted and mentioned you." Nie Huan sat down, and the staff immediately made him a cup of black coffee, which is a unique habit of Nie Huan, he loves black coffee alone, because this kind of coffee contains too many things, just like life, full of mixed flavors.
The staff member is a blonde and looks very energetic, and the whole person looks like a very charming girl, NZ Tech seems to be other than himself and Zuckerberg. There are very few men anymore, and most of the staff are women. It's like a harem.
"Hehe, I can only be regarded as a junior in front of the two of you. It's nothing at all, the two of you are starting a business that is the most important in the history of IT, and I'm just a little bit of a fight. Nie Huan took a sip of black coffee.
Zuckerberg glanced at Nie Huan in surprise, why is this thing so humble today, why is it stinky in front of him, why is the gap between programmers so big? That's the case in the IT world, where the gap between one programmer and another is so huge, and the industry is one that is extremely polarized. Of course, in today's historical development, the competition in any industry is cruel.
Paul Allen and Bill Gates looked at Nie Huan more and more pleasing eyes, compared to those young people in his own company, this guy is really very low-key, and at the same time hates humility, without the pride of his age.
"You think highly of us, at least the two of us can't compare to you when we start a business, you are not only a creative genius, but also an investment elite. Now you go to Wall Street and see that your legend is circulating everywhere. Bill Gates began to pay attention to Nie Huan for a long time, when Nie Huan bought the first stock in Rebirth, and then sold it all when the increase was the largest. At that time, I was very puzzled by what he was doing, but in less than a day, the stock completely fell. Those who don't get out in time are all losing their money.
From that time on. I became interested in this guy, and even had the idea of getting him to Microsoft.
And then there was this year. He found Zuckerberg, who was also studying at Harvard, and asked him to partner with him to start a company, which is now NZ Technology, which was established less than a year ago, but it is the most important force in the entire Silicon Valley.
From social networking sites to Twitter to smartphone systems, this company is constantly creating surprises in the IT world, and in time, this company will become another giant in the IT world.
Although Nie Huan and the two are regarded by the outside world as themselves and Paul Allen in this era, they don't see it that way, because they are completely different from the two of themselves, Nie Huan is a person who is responsible for using his brain, and Zuckerberg is responsible for using his hands, the division of labor between the two of them is very clear, but there is one thing that makes me very incomprehensible, since Nie Huan is a program idiot, but how did these ideas come about.
It wasn't until I just chatted with Zuckerberg that I learned that Nie Huan was not a program idiot, he knew the code of these programs, but he didn't know how to make them, which means that Zuckerberg was actually just responsible for correcting and sorting out these codes and making them into programs one by one. Seriously, I'm really a little jealous of each other.
Knowing the code, not knowing how to operate, there are still such strange people in the world, but such a theoretical emperor is probably the only one in the IT world. Otherwise, why didn't those people make these things, but let them get the first place.
"We heard Mark say that you're a code genius but a program idiot, and we were both curious, because in our opinion, it's much easier to make a program than to study code." Paul Allen suddenly asked such a question.
Nie Huan could only roll his eyes at this, this Zuckerberg is really a big mouth, he will say everything, he can't tell the other party anyway, I came through time, these codes are all in my mind, if I really say this, then the other party will definitely treat himself as a monster.
Whether it's a song, a script, a code, or a novel, it's all plagiarized in my own head, and I'm just a layman, it's good to remember those codes, but fortunately Zuckerberg is a programming genius, otherwise it would have been doomed a long time ago.
"Actually, he is not so godly, I have corrected a lot of these codes for him, and he is often annoyed by some very common sense mistakes." Zuckerberg didn't give Nie Huan any face, and continued to talk about his troubles.
The more Bill Gates and Paul Allen listened, the more surprised Nie Huan became, this guy is really a genius, although it is very strange Compared to developing the source files, making the last program into a program is the simplest, if you get him into Microsoft, then I don't know how much trouble those guys will be saved.
"So, Nie, are you interested in Microsoft as our creative director?" Zuckerberg had just taken a sip of his coffee. Hearing Bill Gates's words, I almost didn't drop my jaw. If Nie Huan really went to Microsoft, then what about NZ. I know very well how terrifying Nie Huan's creative talent is.
Nie Huan just smiled faintly and didn't answer immediately, go to Microsoft? It's better to forget about the kung fu of your three-legged cat, not to mention that you don't have any habit of working with others.
"I'd better forget it, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for that position, I think any person in your company will be better than me." Nie Huan laughed at himself, making Bill Gates feel that this guy was a rare genius.
Bill Gates was right, more than writing code. It is relatively simple to organize them into a complete program, and Nie Huan is also very clear about this, but since he has partnered with the other party, he only needs to come up with an idea, otherwise he will do it himself, then what do you want the partner to do, in the end, Nie Huan is still in a dark belly.
"I don't think there are many people who can compare to you, at least your current ideas, no one will think of them." Paul Allen looked at Nie Huan. His gold-rimmed glasses with a nose seemed to see through him.
Nie Huan just shook his head and picked up the coffee cup, only to find that there was no coffee in it, and the blonde staff member standing next to him immediately brought Nie Huan a new cup of black coffee. This staff member is good, and it seems that Zuckerberg is looking for people very well.
"I'm a lazy person, in fact, I just started this company in the hope that I won't end up on the streets for the rest of my life. It's as simple as that, but I'm not as tall as you think. What is to change the pattern of the entire IT world, my ambition is not so big. Nie Huan directly said what he thought in his heart.
Bill Gates understood what Nie Huan meant. After pondering for a moment, "So I'm buying this company of yours for $10 billion now, do you agree?" β
is worthy of being the richest man, that is, the atmosphere, 10 billion seems to be the same as a hundred, Zuckerberg stopped talking at this time, he was also thinking, and Nie Huan didn't seem to have any thinking.
"No, we won't sell this company, no matter how high your price is, because it is not only a company in my eyes, but also a footnote left along the way, when I am old, I will look back and find that everything was so beautiful." I'm a traverser, if I'm acquired, isn't that a slap in the face?
Bill Gates couldn't imagine that Nie Huan refused without thinking about it, this guy is really similar to himself at the beginning.
"I'll just say your trick doesn't work." Paul Allen finally came back from his gaze, just now he had been looking at the staff in this company, which made him feel very shocked, this company is actually a daughter country. I'm going, it's wonderful, why didn't I think of such an idea when I founded Microsoft?
"But, Nie, Mark, your company is really good, surrounded by a group of beautiful women every day, that feeling should be wonderful, such a good working environment makes me want to come here to work." Sure enough, the fox's tail was exposed, Nie Huan and Zuckerberg laughed dumbly, Paul Allen is a standard playboy. For beauties, he doesn't seem to have any resistance at all, but it seems that Nie Huan and Zuckerberg are the same.
Although Paul Allen said it so explicitly, Nie Huan still wouldn't admit it, "You want to crooked Paul, the reason why our company recruits female staff is just to hope that the work efficiency can be higher, these are not vases, they are all high-achieving students, they don't have so many things compared to men, not to mention that in management, it is also a little easier." Although Nie Huan said it was very sanctimonious, Paul Allen still showed that sly smile.
Nie Huan's words are half true and half false, the reason why men are not allowed to apply is purely because they don't have beautiful women, Zuckerberg looks quite pure, in fact, you all understand.
Bill Gates also laughed, the atmosphere of this company is really weird, Paul Allen, the guy who loves beautiful women like his life, said such a thing, he was not curious.
"Well, since you don't agree to the acquisition, can we cooperate?" Bill Gates felt that he couldn't come for nothing.
Nie Huan knew that the drama was finally here, and Bill Gates said so much just now, just to pave the way for this, "Yes, I have a plan here that is good for your system, do you want to take a look." β
Several other people were surprised, especially Zuckerberg, this kid just arrived, and he had some plans in his head, which was too terrifying.
"This project of mine is based on your latest design of Windows2000 and designed, it should be a simplified, convenient version, I call it WindowsXP, the advantage of this system is that many of the shortcomings of 2000 have been modified, and the life of this system should be longer than 2000. It's more convenient. "There is no plan, the plan is what Nie Huan said.
βWindowsXPοΌβ Bill Gates and Paul Allen looked at each other.
"Well, I can write the source files for this system right now, but before we get to the specifics of our collaboration." A fox-like smile appeared on Nie Huan's face.
Paul Allen was both angry and funny, "Young man, you haven't let us see the goods, just talk about cooperation, what if we get caught?" β
Nie Huan sat calmly on the side, "Then let's do it, wait for a week before you come here to talk, and this system should be ready at that time." β
Bill Gates looked at Nie Huan and looked at it for ten seconds, "I don't think you would do that kind of despicable thing with your pride." Well, now we can talk. β
Nie Huan smiled, Bill Gates was really cheerful, "This system is a system that can be used by consumers, in this case, our company wants 15% of the system's commission." How's that, what do you guys think? β
Fifteen percent? Damn, this is too much of a lion's mouth, no matter how powerful this system is, it is impossible to draw so much.
"No, fifteen percent is too much, ten percent at most."
"Twelve percent, otherwise we wouldn't have to talk about it, and I'm confident that in the next few years no one but me will be able to develop this system." Nie Huan is very confident, this is a big piece of meat, if he misses it, it will really be intolerable.
Bill Gates was silent, Nie Huan's unbridled ideas are indeed not achievable by ordinary programmers, but this 12% commission is still a lot.
