Although on the surface, Mr. Gates was showing his strength just now, this explanation also means that this gentleman is still a little unsure.
He is trying to reaffirm his strength and give his opponents more confidence in himself.
"Mr. Gates, I heard that IBM is not very interested in your idea of ??building a new system?" Lin Yuqing definitely couldn't find out. But Huang Shaowen told him that if Gates talked about this, he would definitely be able to take more initiative.
Lin Yuqing doesn¡¯t quite understand, but Lin Yuqing understands Huang Shaowen¡¯s ability. So at this time, Lin Yuqing planned to talk to Mr. Gates about this. After all, Microsoft's ability to make money basically relies on orders from IBM.
Sure enough, after hearing what Lin Yuqing said, Gates frowned. How could Lin Yuqing know about such a secret thing?
But Gates will still be Gates in the end. Although the other party knew his weaknesses, Gates was not panicked.
"The ideas of these giants are basically a bit outdated. Naturally, they cannot understand the value of new things. Although they are not interested, we will definitely not give up on making the next generation system."
Actually, Lin Yuqing still doesn¡¯t understand why Huang Shaowen chose to invest in Microsoft.
According to Lin Yuqing¡¯s investigation, although Microsoft is developing rapidly now, it does not mean that he is the only one making software. Especially after Lin Yuqing truly understood the software industry, he realized that a company like Microsoft might one day go bankrupt like many other companies in the past, in just a few months.
And Lin Yuqing also heard that Mr. Gates in front of him had an entrepreneurial partner who left the company because of illness. Now is the time when I am a little worried. No matter how I look at it, I feel that the future is not as good as Huang Shaowen thinks.
And even if you don¡¯t choose Microsoft, Lin Yuqing believes that Huang Shaowen, who already owns the system, can recruit engineers by himself, and it would be good to start this business by himself.
Lin Yuqing asked Huang Shaowen, but Huang Shaowen didn't explain much to Lin Yuqing. I just want him to contact Microsoft as soon as possible to get this matter done.
Lin Yuqing didn't solve the doubt, but he didn't continue to ask. It is more important to do things quickly as instructed by the boss.
Seeing Gates' resolute words, Lin Yuqing continued: "Although I don't know much about technology, I know that the future of the software industry is still very broad. I have heard about Mr. Gates's reputation for a long time, so I believe that Microsoft is building Under the leadership of Mr. Ci, we will eventually become the leader in the industry.
As for the problem between us, I will now put forward my final condition. We need a seat on your company's board of directors. "
"This is impossible!" As soon as Lin Yuqing finished speaking, Mr. Gates jumped.
Lin Yuqing expressed his calmness. But in my heart, I admire Huang Shaowen endlessly. Because Huang Shaowen had already expected that Gates might refuse.
"Gates loves his company very much. So he must have a certain sense of exclusivity in his heart. As a technology entrepreneur, this is a normal thing.
But this man is ambitious. His intentions are big, so he needs a lot of money. Gates certainly understands this. Sooner or later, his company will also get some investors.
???????????????????? And you told him that we want the director¡¯s seat just to have certain supervisory rights. We will not participate in specific financial, management and other matters. I believe he should be able to agree to this. "
After Lin Yuqing explained to Gates in detail the specific significance of the board seat he wanted, Gates's mood improved a lot.
??Looking at it this way, the Mr. Lin Yuqing in front of us is indeed just an investor. But now this investor is investing with what he needs most.
On the East Coast, several companies with venture capital participation are born every day. Those young people in the shipping industry visit well-known or unknown venture capital companies with thick business plans every day, just to realize their business dreams.
So actually accepting venture capital is a very normal thing in the United States.
Since 1978, the U.S. Department of Labor relaxed the relevant provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, allowing pension funds to conditionally intervene in venture capital, and adopted some preferential policies, which led to the great development of venture capital.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the newly established Nasdaq Venture Market provides a very solid platform for the growth and development of venture capital.
Nasdaq GEM not only provides direct financing for small and medium-sized enterprises to go public,??Creates convenient conditions, and also provides venture investors with a stable and safe exit path, reduces investment risks, shortens the investment return cycle, thereby increasing the enthusiasm of private investors to engage in venture capital. A virtuous cycle of venture capital has been achieved.
The contribution of venture capital to technological innovation is the third largest contribution of conventional economic policies, such as technological innovation promotion policies. It is precisely for this reason that venture capital has made a huge contribution to establishing the dominant position of the US IT industry in the world.
?Making information networks, bioengineering, financial engineering, health care, etc. the fastest growing industries in the United States. The scientific and technological content of the U.S. economy has thus been filled and optimized to the greatest extent.
The scientific and technological innovation strategy of the United States in the 1980s can be said to be an important strategy for the United States to continue to lead the world for 50 years.
But it just so happens that because of this strategy, the United States has transferred part of its manufacturing industry to East Asia. China undertook most of the world's industrial manufacturing, and gradually became known as the "world's factory". Then step by step, China's economic development began to take off.
In both industrial revolutions, China lagged behind the Western world. In the era of industrial information revolution, we also lag behind the Western world for some reasons.
But China has not forgotten its goal of catching up with the world's advanced countries. In such an era, China is catching up, speeding up, and striving to develop China's manufacturing industry, improve China's industrial system, and improve people's living standards. The other side has not forgotten that it is closely following the advanced scientific and technological information of the United States and is simultaneously carrying out its own information revolution.
Precisely because the country implemented such a strategy, before Huang Shaowen was reborn in his previous life, he could almost catch up with the United States, and even surpass the United States in some areas.
Huang Shaowen really admires the national leaders of this era. With foresight, he can actually think of the development in the next fifty years.
Although before Huang Shaowen was reborn, there was still a large gap between China and the United States. But judging from the forty years that Huang Shaowen has experienced, this gap is no longer as far away as it once was.
In short, development requires money, and the American people also need money when they change themselves. If Gates wants to become great, he also needs money.
Mr. Gates basically accepted Lin Yuqing¡¯s explanation. He also agreed to the plan proposed by Lin Yuqing to a certain extent.
A few days later, Huang Shaowen received news from Lin Yuqing. It is said that the matter with Microsoft has been settled. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
