readx;
Coupled with Shi Yunming and Sun Lianran, there are five ministerial-level officials alone, how to deal with these people? Su Ming wants to solve these problems through the law, many of the keys are related to administrative procedures, and some can't go to the law at all, taking the road of administrative litigation, you can't let the other party hurt your muscles and bones, not to mention, the time is still too little, Su Ming doesn't have the patience to grind time with these people.

So many people, so many places, how much money does it cost to fight a lawsuit, how much time is wasted, although Su Ming has money, he can't spend it like this, and spending this money can't have any effect, and it's cheaper The lawyer is almost the same, as for the popularization of the concept of the legal system, this has nothing to do with Su Mingmao, why should Su Ming bother with this heart.
After being out for a long time, the idealistic thoughts in Su Ming's heart have been completely wiped out by reality, the legal society is only for ordinary people, no matter where they go, the privileged class exists, for these people, the law is just a piece of waste paper for them to tease ordinary people.
The state is like a school, most people abide by the law like students, teachers or principals do not need to be bound by this, and the law is also a kind of rules and regulations formulated to regulate the behavior of ordinary people. It's just that when it was formulated, it was carried out in the name of Ming Boil, and you don't see that no matter what country it is, all the parliamentarians are so-called upper-class people, and there are very few people who are really from ordinary people, and even if there are two or three, they are insignificant and have no influence.
The privileged class does not need to control all the parliamentarians, they only need to control the majority of them, regardless of the interests of the party they represent, but they are all at the service of the whole class, they can play with their left hand and their right hand with their left hand, but they will never hit themselves.
The law is like a privileged class drawing a big circle for ordinary people, as long as you are in the circle, you can get freedom, you can get Mingzhu, you can get all the human rights you think are good, you can have a lot of money to enter this class, just like climbing to become a national leader in the country, the difficulty of both sides is almost the same.
As a major shareholder of Microsoft, Su Ming had the intention of selling all the Microsoft shares in his hands last year, and in just over three years, all the capital invested in Microsoft has been earned, not to mention, it has more than tripled, as a separate investment, it is undoubtedly very successful, but if compared with Su Ming's own development speed, it is too much worse.
is Bill Gates himself, and he is not Su Ming's opponent in terms of wealth, although Bill Gates has been the richest man in the world for five consecutive years in the Forbes rich list, but when Bill Gates saw Su Ming, he was very humble.
Because as a person who has half-stepped into the privileged class, he clearly knows that although he is very rich, but in the real people, it is nothing, and Su Ming is one of these people, looking at the world, although Su Shi cannot be said to be nameless, but it is not very famous, because it is not a public company, so the public information is only a large company with assets of billions, as for Su Machinery, Su Power, Su Aviation, in addition to professionals know, No one knows what they have achieved in the past few years.
Since the shares held by Su's Investment Company are already the fifth largest shareholder in Microsoft, Su's must notify the board of directors in advance if he wants to release his shares, and see if any shareholders are willing to absorb them, or if they are jointly eaten by everyone, and they are not allowed or sold in the open market, which will cause strong fluctuations in the shares, and it is impossible for the open market to absorb these shares at once.
After learning of Su's wishes, Bill Gates made a special call to Su Ming and asked what Su's intention was to sell shares, because of his own financial constraints? Or if you have any views on the company's development or operation, if you need help with funds, Microsoft can provide it with guaranteed financing, and if you have any views on the company's operation, but to express your opinion, Bill Gates said that he is happy to listen to the advice of every major shareholder.
Although the two have not met, but through several phone calls, Su Ming also has great respect for Bill Gates himself, after all, people are also self-made, not like Su Shi who started with a plug-in, but for this, Su Ming said that it is not that his company has a problem, nor does he have an opinion on the development of the company, but that Su Ming does not want to put his assets in the United States anymore, after all, there is more and more hatred with the United States, and it is difficult to say that one day the United States will not freeze its property in the United States.
But this reason can not be told to Bill Gates, Su Ming did not tell him in detail, just expressed his insistence on withdrawing, did not expect Bill Gates to immediately start from the United States, rushed to Namibia to see Su Ming, very detailed to Su Ming explained to Su Ming the current situation of Microsoft and the future development plan, Su Ming was really embarrassed to withdraw, so he had to transfer this part of the shares to the name of the charitable foundation.
In the process of entertaining Bill Gates, Su Ming found that Bill Gates's desire for wine is very strong, but he is very self-disciplined, and he knows how to control himself, so Su Ming persuaded him to know that he should relax himself at some times, and it is not his fault once in a while, not to mention that when you come to me, don't think about so many things, get drunk well, and also relieve the pressure for a long time.
When Bill Gates was young, because of his very tender face, he was often misunderstood by the salesperson because he was not old enough to sell him wine, and after he became famous, he knew how to control himself, so although he liked wine very much, he deliberately controlled not to touch the game.
When I came to Namibia this time, I suddenly felt that the company seemed to be far away from me, Su Ming tried to persuade him on the side, and Su Ming brought out Moutai that looked very antique to foreigners but was famous, Bill Gates was happy, so he drank a few more glasses, although he was not drunk, but his heart was much more relaxed.
When the two of them were talking enthusiastically, Bill Gates expressed a strong admiration for Su Ming's white hands, Su Ming asked him puzzled, aren't you too, Bill Gates shook his head, and refused to say whether he was alive or dead, Su Ming couldn't see the fire, and after pouring him two more cups, he asked Su Ming: "Do you know what my mother does?" ”
"Looks like a lawyer, right?" Su Ming remembered reading it a long time ago, but at that time he was full of envy for Bill Gates, but the content of that biography was very shoddy, and he threw it aside after a few glances at Su Ming.
"My father was a lawyer, my mother was not." Gates shook his head, and then asked Su Ming rhetorically: "Do you know how the first pot of gold I started did come from?" ”
"It seems that when you were in middle school, you made it by finding errors in the computer programs of the time, right?" Su Ming also heard this story, when he was in middle school, Bill Gates liked computer programs very much, and by looking for errors in the programs designed by others, he earned the first pot of gold in his career by catching insects, which seemed to be tens of thousands of dollars.
When he saw this, Su Ming not only admired Gates's mother's foresight, but also envied that people's middle schools at that time could play computers, although the computers at that time had no monitors, no keyboards, and both input and output were made with paper tape punching machines, and later Su Ming slowly learned that the Lakeside Middle School that Gates attended was the best private middle school in Seattle, and it was also commonly known as the aristocratic school, otherwise, it would not be possible for them to play computers, and the computers were not their school, they were from the state computer center, but give them the opportunity to use the wealthy.
"It's not this, the first pot of gold that we started as a Microsoft company."
"The IBM contract, right?" Su Ming then remembered that if you talk about the beginning of Microsoft's business, the biggest leap forward was related to the blue giant IBM at that time, and it was out of control from then on.
"yes, that's it, so you know how we got involved with IBM?" Gates then asked.
Yes! Yes, it is said that at that time, Bill Gates and his entrepreneurial partner Paul Allen learned that IBM wanted to purchase a system, but the most popular system cp/m at that time was too expensive, and finally Bill Gates came to the door with the adapted DOS system and made the first big business, it is said that before getting on the plane, Bill Gates was still writing the program, but how Microsoft learned the news, did not say.
According to the normal situation, even if it is a person from CP/M company, it is impossible to leak this news, and the PC developed by IBM at that time was still in the confidentiality stage, even if the two sides could not negotiate, they also signed a confidentiality agreement, and they would not say it by the way, and it happened to be passed into Gates's ears, so what is going on with this process, could it be related to Gates's mother, Su Ming set his eyes on Gates.
"But my mother was a trustee of the University of Washington, the executive chairman of the National United Way Association, and the director of Interstate First Bank, all three positions of which were inextricably linked to IBM, and IBM's CEO at the time, John Eks, was also the president of the National United Way."
After finishing speaking, Gates took a sip of the wine glass, but his eyes returned to clarity, and the person also seemed to be much more relaxed, after the two of them took the wine glass and touched it and drank it all, they put the wine aside and concentrated on chatting, Su Ming felt that this secret probably made Bill Gates have been under a lot of pressure, but he couldn't tell anyone about it, after all, once this matter is said, whether it is for himself and his mother, or the image of John Ax, it is a great harm, And this kind of thing also violates a lot of business rules, and maybe even violates the law.
