In Seattle, USA, a private beach on the Seattle seaside is closed today. A professional security team was responsible for checking all approaching vehicles and people, and anyone who did not have an invitation in hand was advised to leave the area. A black SUV drove over quietly, and then continued toward the beach after the security personnel checked the invitation. After arriving at the center of this private beach, the SUV stopped, and a middle-aged white man with brown hair got out of the car. The beach has completely changed at this time, with flowers, fountains, statues, balloons, arches, and dining tables dotted like stars. Men and women in suits and evening gowns, you can tell at just one glance that this is Seattle. A lavish banquet prepared by top contractors. However, even in such a grand occasion, the suit worn by this brown-haired white man who suddenly appeared seemed messy. The slovenliness seems to be this person¡¯s natural aura. Even so, everyone who saw him did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. On the contrary, everyone who greeted him seemed flattered, and their eyes were full of reverence. "Mr. Bill, I didn't expect you to come in person." Yu Qiong is already in her thirties this year, and she is somewhat of an old girl in the Chinese circle. But this does not mean that time has left any traces on her body. On the contrary, it has added some maturity and charm to her perfect appearance. "Wow. The CEO of Liuer Software is getting married, why should I show up?" The person who spoke was none other than the famous Bill Gates, the creator of the Microsoft empire. The world's richest man in history. "Compared with Microsoft, Liuer Software is just a small company." Yu Qiong was wearing a dreamy wedding dress. I believe that countless girls would be willing to marry a dying old man for this wedding dress. But to her, it seemed like it was just a $5 T-shirt. "Ms. Jones's words are too modest. If Mr. Zhou hears this, it will not be good news for me." "Mr. Bill, am I so short-tempered?" Zhou Shuo pulled Li Zhi and walked away laughing. Come here and reach out your hand. He smiled and said, "Mr. Bill, long time no see." "It's been ten years, and Mr. Zhou is no longer that young." Bill shook hands with Zhou Shuo and said with some sigh. "I remember you when you were young. At the Windows 95 conference, your Windows 95 had a blue screen!" "Zhou, your description is not accurate. At that time, you still had 5% of Microsoft's shares. It should be said that it was Our windows95 is the right one!" Zhou Shuo and Bill looked at each other and laughed. But whether Bill really wanted to laugh that much, I'm afraid no one knows. The two people just stood at the entrance and exchanged a few words, but the noisy wedding scene cast all eyes on them. Li Zhi pushed Zhou Shuo lightly, pointed around and said with a smile: "I'll help Yu Qiong. You and Mr. Bill go in quickly." "Let's go, Mr. Bill, let's have a good chat." "Call. Just me, Bill. Otherwise, you will have a problem with me.¡± ¡°Okay, Bill, I just found a delicious sturgeon, shall we try it?¡± ¡°Okay, I like sturgeon!¡± After all, it was very rude for everyone to stare at two people, so everyone got over the initial freshness. Everything returned to its original state. It's just that everyone is a little absent-minded when talking, and a third of their energy is focused on other places. But Zhou Shuo and Bill have already adapted to this situation. He took some food and drinks at the table as if there was no one else around, then he found a table with his plate and sat down. "Liuer Software has developed well in the past few years. Envious Zhou, you have a good subordinate." "Bill, don't forget, Liuer Software also has your share. It should be said that we have a good subordinate." Zhou Shuo returned the favor and made a casual joke. This is just a compliment to open up the scene and liven up the atmosphere. Sure enough, after echoing Zhou Shuo's laughter, Bill cut the sturgeon meat with a knife and said: "Netscape has disappeared now. Marc Andreessen recently intends to sell his shares of Liuer Software. What do you think?" "What, Is Microsoft interested in this part?" There was no extra expression on Zhou Shuo's face, as if he was not talking about a transaction involving billions of dollars, but the last piece of sturgeon meat on the plate. "Very interested. In fact, what I am most interested in is Rebirth Technology. Liuer Search andThe ear operating system is a threat to Microsoft. " Zhou Shuo pretended to be stupid: "That's just a mobile terminal system. It doesn't pose a threat to the desktop system, right? " "But I am very interested in cooperating with Microsoft for Liuer Search, well, if it is limited to the United States. " The promotion of Liuer Search in the United States is not going well. After all, this is the headquarters of Google. If you can win over Microsoft, a local snake, it will be a very good choice. And Microsoft has really been like a thorn in Google's throat in recent years. Back then, its growth rate and technical strength were clearly replicas of Netscape¡¯s. Google¡¯s Android system and Microsoft¡¯s Symbian system were now competing for the U.S. smartphone operating system market, and it was a time of inextricable competition. . The two companies in the international market no longer think that the six-ear system is the leader. The advantage of being ahead for two or three years is no joke. At this time, the six-ear system has accumulated a large number of applications and has gradually become a trend. , you said Samsung? Forget it, South Korea is now actively applying to join the Group of 77 to resist China¡¯s hegemony in the semiconductor field. Only the United States became the last resort in smartphones because of its ban on Fanhan Group. "Pure Land". Now, Microsoft and Google are competing desperately for this last promised land flowing with milk and honey. Bill raised his fork and thought for a while, nodding: "If we can cooperate like Liu Er IM. If" The so-called Liuerim method means that Liuerim in China is operated by Zhisheng Technology, while in the United States it is owned by Microsoft. If you follow this model, it is equivalent to selling the North American ownership of Liuer Search to It's just Microsoft. Zhou Shuo shook his head when he heard this and said: "My opinion is that we and Microsoft can own half of Marc Andreessen's shares and still maintain the stability of Liuer Software's shares. " "But this is unfair to Microsoft! " "What if I guarantee that the six-ear system will never enter the x86 architecture operating system market? "Zhou Shuo gently threw out the bait. Bill was silent. The promise of a behemoth like Fanhan Group not to enter the x86 market is indeed valuable. If Microsoft and Google and Fanhan Group fight on both sides, the situation will be very unfavorable. Even if It¡¯s the software empire Microsoft, and I can¡¯t say that it will definitely win this war. Once Microsoft is blocked from the Internet market, the empire will collapse in an instant. ¡°But correspondingly, Microsoft should give up entering the mobile terminal market. . " "This" Bill was troubled in his heart. With Microsoft's reputation, it is always the right one to bully others. There is no reason to be squeezed out like this. But sitting opposite was Zhou Shuo, the head of Fanhan Group. Regardless of personal worth or wealth, Fanhan Group and Microsoft are of the same magnitude or even greater. Microsoft's market value may be hundreds of billions of dollars, but that is the value shown in the stock market, maybe one or two. A piece of bad news can evaporate dozens or tens of billions of wealth. But the wealth of Fanhan Group is real, including factories, patented technologies, market position and influence. Even if there are dozens of bad news, Fanhan Group does not need it. I was worried that the company would be abandoned by the times the next morning. After all, the software industry is a bit special. Compared with the industry, its social influence and ability to resist risks are weaker. Zhou Shuo admired Bill's troubled expression with satisfaction. Not everyone can see it, right? After only ten years of struggle, I can eat sturgeon meat with Bill Gates and appreciate his troubled expression. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth can't help but curl up. "If Microsoft agrees. , Rebirth Technology can sell a part of its shares to Microsoft and promise to form a closer cooperative relationship between Liuer System and Windows. " Asking the other party to give up a market and promising not to touch the other party's home field has always been a method used by Microsoft to bully other companies, but I didn't expect that it would one day appear on Microsoft. " However, this promise is very important to Microsoft. It was really hard to let go. Bill was not the kind of hesitant person. He weighed the pros and cons and nodded immediately. ¡°25% of the shares of Rebirth Technology, 8 billion US dollars. " "10 billion US dollars. If Rebirth Technology is listed on Nasdaq now, 100 billion US dollars will not be enough. " Bill knew that Zhou Shuo was telling the truth, so he stretched out his hand and said with a reluctant smile: "Deal. " When the wedding march sounded, Yu Qiong appeared under the flower arch wearing a wedding dress with a long hem. Yu Shunshui's eyes turned into slits as he smiled and walked up to her arm. Li Zhi gently said Lying next to Zhou Shuo's ear, he asked: "I heard that Director Yu was stillHow was it that I worked with you and Yu Qiong? Do you regret it? " Zhou Shuo tilted his head and glanced at Li Zhi, then stretched out his hand to hug her waist: "What is there to envy? It is not easy to concentrate on doing one thing well in one's life. Yu Qiong" He thought for a while, then laughed and said: "That was just a misunderstanding by Director Yu. You know that I am actually an idealist at heart. I would rather have a perfect love than a chaotic private life. "(To be continued)
