As early as the introduction of the horizon multimedia digital playback software, many representatives of large companies sitting in the audience have been dumbfounded, at this moment to see such a magical search software, some of these people are like ashes, some seem very happy, the former are mostly Microsoft's competitors, the latter are mostly Microsoft's partners, but this is secondary, today's biggest winner is destined to be Microsoft!

When the commotion of the crowd gradually subsided, the smile on Gates's face was even better, and he smiled: "After introducing the search engine, let's take a look at the last new product today, we call it 'Talk', which means chat, this is a very convenient online communication tool, let's demonstrate the nature of its work——"

Compared with the previous two software, Gates thinks that this chat tool is the most attractive, because it realizes the real barrier-free communication in the online world, as long as this software is used, people can communicate in real time online, and even make friends with strangers, which is of great business value!

After the release of the first two software, everyone's curiosity has long been raised to the top, everyone wants to see what other amazing new products Microsoft has, and in everyone's high anticipation, Microsoft staff began the demonstration of this chat software.

The first cartoon image of two people looking at each other appeared on the big screen, which is the hallmark of this software, and as the interface changed, the cartoon image gradually faded away, and then disappeared, and then a dialog box appeared on the screen, on which two people were chatting

Gus: "Tim, are you at the press conference?" ”

Tim: "yes, there are so many people here, how are you there?" ”

Gus: "I really envy you, are there so many beauties on the scene?" I'm still busy at my corporate headquarters in Seattle. ”

Tim: "There are indeed a lot of beautiful women on the scene, I just saw a beautiful reporter from CNN, Gus, do you think the boss will give us a raise?" ”

Gus: "I don't know, but I heard that our company's stock is rising rapidly, and although the boss is stingy, he shouldn't be stingy with this money, right?" ”

Tim: "Well, I think so too, I forgot to tell you, our conversation is being broadcast live at the press conference, and what you just said has already been seen by the boss!" ”

Gus: "............ Tim! You badass! I was actually tempted to speak ill of my boss!! - Boss, don't you mind, you know the truth...... I'm a man who likes to talk nonsense......"

At this point, laughter erupted from the scene, and Gats, the boss, laughed as well, and after a few moments he said to Tim: "Tell Gus that the company will give all employees a salary increase in the near future, and besides, I will not pursue him for defaming my reputation in public." ”

After Gates said this, the laughter of the crowd became louder, and after a while, everyone stopped, only to see Gates said with a smile: "I think you have just seen the effect of this chat software, it will achieve more convenient communication in the network world, anyone can become a good friend through it, well, the following is the reporter's question time, media friends can ask any questions directly." ”

As soon as Gates finished speaking, the beautiful reporter of CNN raised her hand and said: "Mr. Gates, I think many of you here have the same question - how did Microsoft develop these amazing software?" Where do your ideas and ideas come from? ”

As a reporter from CNN, he grasped the point as soon as he opened his mouth, and Gates seemed to have expected this issue to be raised, only to see him smile and say: "These ideas and achievements all come from a mysterious X, please forgive me for using X to call him, because so far I don't know his identity, even his gender, according to the consensus we reached with X, Microsoft will use 10% of the stock dividend as a price to get the opportunity to cooperate with X for a long time." ”

When the beautiful reporter heard this, she asked, "You mean to say that this mysterious X will receive ten percent of Microsoft's annual profits?" Are you sure it's only fitting that Microsoft is paying such a huge price? ”

Hearing this, Gates smiled and said: "After the resolution of the Microsoft Board of Directors, this cooperation model is allowed, which is already very revealing, after all, the people on the Microsoft Board of Directors are not fools, although they have paid ten percent of the company's annual profits, but everyone thinks it is worth it, at least what we pay will allow us to get a greater return." ”

Gates paused at this point, then took a deep breath and continued: "I can tell you very clearly that at the same time as the press conference was underway, Microsoft's stock price has risen from $25 to $32 per share, because the rise is too fast, our stock will be suspended immediately, I believe this is just the beginning, Microsoft's real value will be truly reflected in the coming period." ”

The beautiful reporter then asked: "How will this mysterious X obtain these benefits?" ”

Gates smiled slightly when he heard this: "We have found the most suitable solution to this problem through negotiation with X, but this is a privacy issue, and it is inconvenient for me to disclose more information without X's authorization, please understand." ”

The reporter asked questions for more than ten minutes, and then it was the on-site experience link, no matter what the identity of the people present, or what purpose they came to, everyone flocked to the experience area, Microsoft has already prepared enough equipment for this, but in view of the number of people is too much, they have to take turns as a last resort, each person can only experience for five minutes at most, and then replace the next one.

Gates looked at the high interest of everyone, and his heart was naturally extremely satisfied, just now he had received the news from the assistant, Microsoft's stock price has been suspended due to the rapid rise, but according to the current situation, even if the market reopens tomorrow, Microsoft's stock price will definitely be suspended again, no way, the three software released now have proved Microsoft's potential, even if it has now risen to the limit, but Microsoft's stock price is still too low.

Gates went back to the lounge and poured a cup of coffee, and then he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look out at the bustling Manhattan business district, which is the financial center of the entire United States and even the entire world, more than 80% of the world's top 500 companies have set up offices here, and the building opposite the Empire State Building has a huge billboard of IBM erected.

Not long ago, the two sides broke off the cooperative relationship because of differences, and at that time Gates felt that Microsoft's future would be dark, but less than a month later, when he faced IBM again, he did not feel that this giant in the computer industry had anything to fear, and Gates felt that the future of the computer industry would be in the hands of Microsoft! You can buy many brands of computers, but the operating system you use can only be Microsoft's!

Then he thought of the mysterious X, the shock that this X brought him, needless to say, the other party has unimaginable ideas, and has the strength to make these ideas a reality, such a person is simply the god of the computer world!

Just as Gates was thinking about this, his assistant pushed open the door and walked in, only to hear her say to Gates: "Boss, just now IBM, Intel, HP, Apple, Compaq, Dell and other companies called, they want to discuss cooperation with you, ......what do you think?" ”

Gates smiled slightly when he heard this, and then said, "I know, you can go and arrange a time for the meeting." ”

The assistant nodded and walked out of the room, and Gates was the only one left in the room, he drank the coffee in the cup in one go, and then said in high spirits: "The computer industry will usher in earth-shaking changes, and this is just the beginning!" ”
