"In my opinion, this operating system is more appropriate to call Microsoft Windows......"

"yes, good name!"

Bill Gates' eyes lit up and he said: "This name can not only represent our company, but also reflect the connotation of the operating system, and also reflect that the computer will be a new window for people to understand the world......"

The two talked about some of their personal situations to get to know each other.

Gates has a feeling of seeing Fan Jianxin late!

It's even more strange, how can Fan Jianxin, a young man from China, know so much about computers?!

At this time, Fan Jianxin was thinking about whether he should take this year's college entrance examination and go to a university with a computer major?

Bill Gates is a very disciplined man, working up to sixteen or seventeen hours a day. If it was an ordinary visitor, he would have sent it away a long time ago. And talk to Fan Jianxin about the future development of computers, the future of computers, and the impact of computers on human society......

I feel that my pattern is too small!

At this time, Fan Jianxin in his eyes was like a god-like existence, more like a god sent him to him, bringing him endless inspiration for the computer industry.

As a matter of fact, Fan Jianxin only talked about the development trend of the computer industry in the 80s, and did not dare to talk about some achievements in the computer industry after that.

If that's the case, it's too scary.

Even so, it shocked Bill Gates.

In the end, Bill Gates said with emotion: "There is a Jewish classic of the Talmud, I don't know if there is such a sentence in it, have you heard of it?" 'Living with wolves, you can only learn to howl; When you come into contact with great people, you will be well influenced...... 'It was a pleasure to talk to you today, and I benefited a lot......

Fan Jianxin saw from Bill Gates's micro-expression that Bill Gates was willing to accept his investment in Microsoft.

Sure enough, after a pause, Bill Gates pushed his glasses and said what Fan Jianxin was most willing to hear:

"I accept you as a shareholder in our company, but I will give you up to 10% of the shares, and you must also agree to my request......"

Fan Jianxin was overjoyed when he heard this, not to mention 10% of the shares, that is, 1%, even if it is 0.1%, it will be a huge wealth in the future.

"Microsoft's current market capitalization estimate is close to $2 million, and if you want 10% of the shares, you have to pay $200,000, never less than that!"

The real situation is that Microsoft's assessment at this time is worth up to $1 million, and as a master negotiator, Gates will of course have to say it to Gori.

"Can you give up some more shares?"

In fact, Fan Jianxin doesn't care too much about the price, but about the amount of shares, which is the more, the better. Of course, if he can do the most with the least amount of money, why wouldn't he do it? Negotiating, don't be in a hurry, take your time.

"No, I want to have an absolute controlling stake in the company."

Bill Gates thought for a moment, his eyes radiated from the myopia lens, and said:

"You can try to take some shares from Allen, who is the second largest shareholder in the company, with a 40 percent stake in the company. And I think you and he will definitely be able to talk. ”

In the conversation between Gates and Fan Jianxin, he deeply felt that this young man from China was a talent, and he also wanted to gather around him and let him hold the company's shares so that he could give full play to his foresight.

"By the way, Brother Gates, what did you mean by saying that you just had a request?"

"If you want to own a stake in our company, you have to work in our company...... Well, you're in charge of the technical ...... Let's imagine the director of the department. ”

Fan Jianxin thought to himself, does there have this department?

"It's more difficult to do this job, I still have a job in Huaxia."

"Then be a consultant. Otherwise......"

However, I was in a good mood to hear that Gates had hired him as a consultant. Consultants, just don't ask. With this identity, it will be convenient to travel to and from the United States in the future, and I can't help but be overjoyed.

Of course, as a young man with the soul of a greasy uncle, Fan Jianxin can still stabilize his emotions......

In the early 80s, it was not easy to go abroad, and if Thomson had not been hired by John Deere Agricultural Machinery Company in the United States, it would have been very difficult for Fan Jianxin to apply for a visa abroad. If you have a letter of appointment from Microsoft, it is not only convenient to enter and exit the United States, but also to other countries.

Although this was a kind of double standard for the people of the United States, which had the nature of discriminating against the people of the Chinese mainland, it was an international practice at that time.

This is also the reason why some Chinese people are obsessed with obtaining a green card from the United States.

Fan Jianxin insisted on only contributing $100,000 to acquire 10% of Microsoft's shares, but Gates refused, and the first day of negotiations ended, and Fan Jianxin found a hotel to rest.

Before saying goodbye, in order to satisfy Gates's appetite, Fan Jianxin asked Gates several thorny questions about the future development direction of computers.

As a result of the first day of negotiations, Fan Jianxin's transfer of 10% of Microsoft's shares has been approved by Gates, but Fan Jianxin does not approve of Gates' offer of $200,000.

……

The next day, negotiations continued.

After continuous tug-of-war, tempering, and negotiation, Fan Jianxin finally acquired 10% of Microsoft's shares owned by Gates for $150,000.

Paul Allen, the shares of Microsoft he owns, of course, Fan Jianxin can't let go.

Perhaps Bill Gates shines so brightly that Paul Allen, Microsoft's second largest shareholder, is unknown. Fan Jianxin had little impression of Paul Allen in his previous life, and Gates told him about his relationship with Allen.

In 1975, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard University in the United States and sold BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) with his high school alumnus, Paul Allen.

Peiji means omnidirectional command code for beginners, and it is a programming language designed for beginners. When Gates was a student at Harvard, they wrote the language for Altair at MITS.

Later, Gates and Allen moved to Albuquerque and founded Microsoft Corporation in a local hotel room.

No one expected that including Gates and Allen, this future computer empire with a market value of more than one trillion dollars would hatch and break its shell from the room of this small hotel.

In 1977, Microsoft moved to Redmond, Seattle, where it developed programming software for the PC.

Unfortunately, just last month, Allen was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease and had to resign from Microsoft.

This is indeed a pity......

Paul Allen has always been hidden under the aura of Bill Gates, people only know that he and Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft, but forget that it was he who introduced Bill Gates to the software industry.

And it is such an elite in the software industry, a visionary pioneer, a high roller who spends a lot of money for fun, a business tycoon who always fails to invest but succeeds in amassing huge fortunes, but he is creating a legend - he has an inexhaustible source of money, a unique investment philosophy, and a unique standard of success.

"Two excellent people walk together, influence each other, complement each other, and make a feat that will surely attract worldwide attention."

Undoubtedly, Paul Allen and Bill Gates have made the best confirmation of this statement.

In 1968, two computer wizards met at Seattle Lakeside Middle School in the United States, Allen Gates was two years old, and he impressed Gates with his rich knowledge, and Gates's talent in computers made Allen admire.

In this way, the two became good friends, and then entered the computer kingdom together.

Alan is a person who loves technology, so he focuses on new technologies and ideas from Microsoft.

Gates is mainly commercial, with salesmen, technical leaders, lawyers, business negotiators and presidents in charge.

The two founders of Microsoft worked together tacitly to set off a software revolution. Life.

Some people say that without Paul Allen, Microsoft may not have appeared, but if it were not for Togatez's blessing, Allen might not even have the money to pay for his "mistakes".

And this is no accident, Bill Gates once said: "Sometimes the fate of your life is determined by what kind of friends you make." In other words, in a way, the person you associate with may be your future ......"

This is how Paul Allen and Bill Gates determine each other's future.

What kind of impact will Fan Jianxin's accidental arrival have on Microsoft?

The arrival of Fan Jianxin will only accelerate the healthy development of the computer industry in China, will only allow Microsoft to take unnecessary detours, and will only make Microsoft's competitiveness stronger......

Because, Fan Jianxin has the vision of future generations.

He will not be controlled by the limitations of the history of computer development, will not make mistakes in the direction of computer research, and he knows who to cooperate with is most conducive to his own development......

This is the advantage of the reborn person against the sky, even if the genius cannot see the future development, it is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and it is not easy to see one more step than ordinary people.

Bill Gates, hired him as a technical consultant of Microsoft, not only has a salary to get, but also has easy entry and exit, why not Fan Jianxin?

Bill Gates couldn't figure out how a young Chinese man on the other side of the world could have such a great foresight for the future development of the computer industry.

Bill Gates cares a lot about his shares, he is not willing to transfer his shares at all, if it were not for Fan Jianxin's unique views on the computer industry, which is conducive to the development of Microsoft, even if the market value of Microsoft is now only worth nearly one million US dollars, he will never sell his 10% of Microsoft's shares at a price of $150,000.

He is confident that Microsoft's future development is promising, but this unjust boss in China is willing to pay $150,000 to acquire 10% of the shares, no matter how you calculate it, he is cost-effective. It's just that before that, he had never thought of transferring shares.

Moreover, he knows that Fan Jianxin is a very excellent person, with a keen foresight for the future of computers, and standing with such an excellent person, excellence will become a habit, an element, and a foundation......

Opportunity is not an extravagant object, but a human creation.

Good people will obviously bring you better opportunities. More importantly, by getting along with excellent people, you can learn the way of life and behavior of excellent people, and you can expand your horizons.

Needless to say, Paul Allen is also a good person.

"Mr. Fan, oh...... No, Brother Fan. Not long ago, I worked with Allen on his last work at Microsoft: a new BASIC language, because he had to leave Microsoft because he was diagnosed with some kind of cancerous syndrome and had to leave Microsoft......"

Gates said this, with a look of sadness, regret, and worry on his face.

After a conversation with Bill Gates, Fan Jianxin found that the great founder of Microsoft has the temperament and sensitivity of a poet, as well as the cunning and profit-seeking of a businessman.

Of course, Fan Jianxin is going to meet Paul Allen, who owns 40% of Microsoft.

……

In a small courtyard in Seattle, Fan met Paul Allen, the second founder of the Microsoft empire.

Fan Jianxin, in accordance with the Chinese habit of visiting patients, came to Paul Allen's house with some fruits and flowers.

He talks to Paul Allen about the future of computing...... This made the somewhat weak Paul Allen excited, forgetting that he was sick, and there was a feeling of being eager to try and fly.

"I'm sick, but the doctors are still very optimistic about curing my disease, and with the rapid development of medicine, Hodgkin's disease will not be a roadblock to my progress......

Fan Jianxin was not in a hurry to mention the transfer of Microsoft's shares to Paul Allen, but talked about the future of computers with this person who likes computer technology very much......
