Chapter 301: Western-style negotiations

He watched Chen Weidong and Chen Jie laugh in Chinese, and the two sides also said that they would try to shoot a glass bottle placed dozens of meters away with a pistol to see who hit more.

In many states in the United States, gun ownership is legal and the formalities are not complicated, and it would be a real joke for someone of their status to not be able to do that.

Bill looked under the umbrella again, with cold soda drinks, melons and fruits, and even saw a live fish bucket next to it, which contained a few live fish! How many fish are in the water?

In the United States, most people don't eat fish.

Qiao Zhiyong sat down next to him with a smile.

Bill looked at him and asked softly, "Mr. Qiao, how many are there over there, they should be water fish, right?" What do you do when you catch fish? ”

Qiao Zhiyong glanced in the direction of his finger and said casually: "Oh, that's the big carp we caught in the lake not far away, Mr. Chen said that he is not used to eating the food of the rice country, and he prefers to use the method of his hometown to make a dish, called braised carp." ”

"I see!" It dawned on Bill.

To be honest, when he was in South China City before, he also tasted a lot of Chinese food, and it was indeed very delicious, but the main thing was that it was mainly Qingtang, which retained the original taste of the food.

Teriyaki? I haven't tried it.

"Hahaha."

Qiao Zhiyong didn't expect that he would be able to talk to Bill Gates face-to-face.

"We all like this dish very much, when cooking, we want to make the fish alive, make sure it is fresh, and you can taste it later, the braised carp is really delicious, but they make some spicy ....."

Bill was in no mood to listen to his praise for the braised carp, just staring at the bucket of fish in a daze.

An uninhibited, dashing and uninhibited guy!

Looking at him and Chen Jie, talking and laughing, you know that the two of them are all the way.

It's not a family, it's not a door.

It's no wonder that they ignore their own purchase suggestions.

Because this request of him, from the very beginning, was wrong

I'm afraid that the money of the two of them can be overwhelmed!

What's more, no matter how rich or powerful he is, but his attitude towards life is always so unexpected, honor and disgrace.

In him, there is no sense of distance that is common to the wealthy class.

To describe it in a word in Huaxia, it is probably - down-to-earth.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to donate $200 billion to the people of their country free of charge.

Bill asked himself if he couldn't do it to this extent, and even if he had to donate it, he would have to wait until after he died.

In the face of such a strong opponent, what leverage do you have?

The money of Infinity Company, it is estimated that the acquisition of Microsoft in turn can be tried, right?

Technology? The other party's "in" is so good, isn't it sad and jealous after using it?

So, what else does the other party don't have, what does he have?

Bill didn't want to fall into disadvantage before the negotiations had even begun, and his eyes lit up as he thought about it.

At this time, Chen Weidong and Chen Jie had already run out of their bullets, returned to the parasol and sat down, Bill adjusted his mentality, and stepped forward to talk to them at the right time: "Mr. Chen Weidong, your marksmanship is very good, as good as Mr. Chen Jie!" ”

In one sentence, he complimented Chen Weidong and Chen Jie at the same time, and when he heard Qiao Zhiyong's smiling translation, Chen Jie immediately couldn't help laughing, Ah Wei's bad marksmanship can also be said to be good?

Twelve bullets hit a bottle.

And he, there are three of them!

Unfazed by their laughter, Bill continued, "However, I am even more amazed by your infinity company. ”

"Oh? You also think that our infinity company is great? Chen Weidong is clearly interested.

Bill was pleased to see that he had succeeded in provoking the other party's interest.

He understands very well that for people of their class, only the development of the company and the success of their career are the most proud.

And Chen Weidong really told him about the arduous entrepreneurial process in recent years, and said for a long time in one breath, and then said: "Recently, we are going to expand the company again, but the computer personnel will not be recruited on a large scale, and I am already struggling to raise so many people!" ”

Qiao Zhiyong smiled and translated Chen Weidong's words to Bill.

It's just that the real situation is only known to a few executives of Infinity.

At the company's headquarters, there really won't be any more large-scale recruitment of programmers.

Because Director Zhang has reported to them more than once that the salary offered by Infinity to programmers is so outrageous that many high school students now choose computer or finance with their eyes closed when they fill in the volunteers.

For other traditional engineering industries, there is no disdain at all.

This is a very bad sign.

The foundation of our Huaxia is still industry!

Chen Weidong feels that there is a certain amount of truth, anyway, the most powerful Internet technicians in China have basically joined Infinity, and their next development focus will also have to be adjusted.....

After listening to Chen Weidong's words, Bill nodded again and again: "Your company's research strength is so strong, I am also amazed!" For example, our operating system uses nearly 50 engineers, I used to think that it is huge, but your company uses 100 times more manpower than us! ”

"No wonder your ins are so good, let me see it, and I'm willing to bow down."

As a native of the United States, they have been exposed to various negotiation skills since childhood, and many young people's first venture capital is negotiated with their parents.

Maximizing benefits is always the ultimate goal.

Bill used one sentence to naturally shift the topic to the main topic, and then said with a straight face: "However, I found that this software of yours also has a very fatal flaw!" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? How did I not know? ”

Chen Weidong was moved, and glanced at Chen Jie, and the other party shrugged his shoulders inexplicably.

After listening to Chen Weidong's words, Bill laughed.

Chen Weidong licensed the operating system "in" to several small companies in the United States, so that they could start selling it on a small scale, and specially created this bureau for Microsoft to bring him huge psychological pressure, can he not know?

But Bill completely reversed this form with one sentence, and such a psychological advantage can be said to be very advantageous in business negotiations.

Beer enjoyed this state very much, and continued to wait for a few seconds, before Chen Weidong and the others got impatient, he said: "In terms of performance, this operating system is indeed flawless!" However, its biggest problem is that it is a Windows operating system! This is already a violation of the patent right! ”

"Mr. Chen, you have also produced computer accessories, you should know the great power of patents!"
