Rebirth of the Tech Madman

At the current scale of Microsoft, there is really nothing to visit. The focus is on talking with Gates and others.

"I take the liberty to ask, isn't Microsoft a company limited by shares now?" Tang Huan glanced at the nameplate and asked casually.

"Considering to change the type of company registration." Gates was slightly embarrassed when he replied. Compared with the booming development of Silicon Valley companies, Microsoft, which lives in Seattle, is indeed a bit unable to keep up with the situation in some mechanisms.

But this can't be blamed on Gates, he was really jealous of the first patent dispute lawsuit in his career.

Originally, he dug the first pot of gold from Edward Roberts’ company, and the development was quite smooth, but with the fierce commercial competition brought by various copycat Altair computers, he had experienced a fiasco in the calculator price war and was heavily indebted. Roberts retired, and finally sold the company to a Canadian company in 1977, and he took the $2 million he received and went to a rural town in Georgia to be a happy farmer.

After getting it, he followed the vine and claimed to the outside world that he had the patent right of the microcomputer version, and other companies and individuals had no right to continue selling this product, which directly pushed Microsoft to a dead end.

The young and energetic Gates immediately fought back and filed a lawsuit. He was overjoyed when he saw it. He just happened to show the monkey you a little guy, so he happily challenged him.

Although Gates also studied law, he obviously didn't know the sinister situation. The court froze Microsoft and related income at that time. Although there are still funds for the version. But this is only a small part. The company fell into trouble immediately.

Fortunately, Gates can turn to his father, a well-known lawyer, by inviting people to come forward to fight the lawsuit. In the end, the court ruled that only the right to use was obtained, and Microsoft had the ownership.

Originally, a lawsuit of this kind would have been procrastinated for several years according to the normal process, but it took only half a year for this lawsuit to be closed, which shows that Gates's father played a big role in it.

After that, Gates moved Microsoft to his hometown of Seattle. It is not surprising that the subsequent caution in business strategy.

Tang Huan nodded. Now Gates' business thinking is still at the level of "as long as it is a personal computer." The scale and mechanism in front of you are enough to cope with the situation. I have to say, man, you have the capital to slow down. Land development.

The chairman of ibm is about to retire, and he will hand it over this year. In this position, he will sit in Opel in 1986, and Gates’s mother is both a member of the United States Joint Fundraising Organization. Gates hugs his thigh, and the turnover has long been tens of billions of dollars in the Blue Giant. As long as the fingers leak a little bit, Microsoft's mouth will be greasy.

In the final analysis, people actually have a backstage. This kind of opportunity is not something you can encounter casually, and everyone is envious of it.

Although on the surface it seems that Microsoft is not in a hurry to transform, Tang Huan still frankly tested it, "Except, Microsoft has no plans to get involved in other aspects of software, such as spreadsheets and word processing."

"Of course I thought about it, but the competition is too fierce, especially your man has formed a monopoly. I don't want to hit the iron plate." Gates smiled and replied, his attitude can be described as both honest and humble.

"That's just a matter on the Mac platform, the space on the cp/m platform is still very loose." Tang Huan laughed.

Gates shook his head, before turning around and saying, "I have an idea for cooperation. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Listen carefully." Tang Huan squinted his eyes, and said that his brother is thinking about how to leave a back hand at Microsoft. You are the first step and count me.

"You see, the information management system built around ebase is very popular now, but the built-in SQL scripting language has limitations in function, and Microsoft's can make up for it. This tacit understanding of cooperation has been confirmed by many examples. It works."

Speaking of this, Gates’ face showed a sincere smile, “This kind of win-win situation, if you don’t make good use of it, it’s a pity. Why don’t we increase our cooperation. For example, Zheru put some programming on ebase The interface is shared."

"You are really smart enough. I came to eat you for a meal and was robbed by you. It's not worth the loss." While Tang Huan was joking, he quickly calculated the gains and losses in his heart.

Gates shrugged, "Your family has a big business, even if you are robbed, you won't feel heartache."

"You should know that now ebase has developed into a platform. Even if it has some shortcomings, it does not hide its flaws. Users' favor for it will only increase day by day. The recent cooperation with it is not indispensable. Your proposal can't make me move. "Tang Huan's expression is very sunny, but what he says is very unpretentious.

"What kind of exchange do you guy want? If Microsoft has something you can see, just speak up." Gates, full of helplessness, put on a way that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, and come first in person for many years. Online marketing work has long been practiced to meet people and talk people, **** and talk nonsense.

"Microsoft currently does not have a platform like ebase, but it does not mean that there will not be one in the future. I am very optimistic about your development prospects." Tang Huan complimented, and then pondered: "Then focus on the future, if Microsoft has it in the future In addition to platforms such as personal computers and operating systems, or to develop into a more powerful application environment, the interface must be unreservedly opened to Zheru's software."

Hearing Tang Huan's request, Gates, Allen, and Ballmer all showed weird looks on their faces. They said that you can praise us too much, what kind of platforms such as personal computers and operating systems. We never thought about this plan at all.

Gates lost his thoughts. The body began to sway again. Tang Huan patiently waited for the answer from the other party.

Based on his understanding of Tang Huan, Gates thought that the other party would not be aimless, but that is only the future, no one can say, maybe this guy, like Jobs, took it for granted, and he passed ebase peripheral programs in front of him. The profits earned are real.

After thinking about it, Gates, who felt that he was not at a disadvantage, finally nodded in agreement.

"In order to show sincerity. It's better to agree on legal documents for this cooperation." Tang Huan showed a considerate expression on his face, "It just so happens that my private jet is already in service. You can take a free ride to Silicon Valley. Cupertino."

"Then I have to see it." Gates readily agreed.

With a more tangible cooperative relationship, the atmosphere for everyone to eat together is not to mention harmonious.

When Gates arrived at the airport with his company's lawyer the next day, he was surprised that his chin almost fell on the ground after seeing the private plane Tang Huan was talking about.

Originally, Gates thought that the philosopher had made so much money. Tang Huan, who was so powerful, used the name of the company to satisfy his own preferences, and it was not surprising that he used the name of the company to build a private jet of general type. However, he saw the latest one. Boeing 747. Especially after hearing the name "Silicon Valley One", all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Even if you make a lot of money. There is no need to be so high-profile, especially with such expensive red wines, pulling the female partner to pretend to be elegant.

Although Gates was a little bit scornful, he was not idle. At least a bottle of red wine entered his stomach.

After spending about two hours in San Francisco at the end, Gates summed up in his heart, "Waste."

Tang Huan naturally attaches great importance to the cooperation agreement reached between himself and Gates. Although Gates is still unable to know his plans, but according to the historical trajectory, this backhand is sufficient to ensure that Zheru's software products can be steadily logged into ibm personal. The computer platform, and let Microsoft escort.

When he saw that the cooperation time was five years for Microsoft and ten years for philosophers, Gates agreed with this rule. After all, Tang Huan was betting on the future, but he still instinctively opposed it.

"Then nine years, no matter how few, you are really insincere." Tang Huan joked.

Seeing this, Gates also understood that there was nothing to worry about and signed happily.

The corner of Tang Huan's mouth curled up. Nine years have been enough to cope with the stage of the operating system, and after the waves and sands, the types of hardware platforms have long stabilized.

After the two parties put away the documents, Tang Huan took Gates to the database department again. Now that Philosopher has passed the initial stage of development, he is not afraid of stealing his teacher, so he can be regarded as giving him some sweetness first.

Tang Huanzheng hospitalized Gates enthusiastically, and his subordinates reported a news that the cultural counselor of the Soviet consulate in the United States wanted to meet him.

He had accepted the invitation to participate in the opening ceremony of the Moscow Olympics, and the other party should have come to further strengthen the relationship, Tang Huan wondered.

However, as long as it helps to open up the market, Tang Huan doesn't mind being used by the other party to create momentum.

Sure enough, when Tang Huan met him at the consulate, there was a reporter next to him.

He greeted this big nose directly in Russian~www.wuxiahere.com~ which surprised the other party.

Tang Huan held out his fingers without humility and counted, "Mr. Ivanov, I can say one sentence responsibly, Chinese, Russian, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. All proficient."

Ivanov's eyes lit up, and he said that if this young and rich man really had this ability, he might be able to come in great use.

"Your company’s games "Tetris" and Cassidy game console are very popular in our country. I am really curious, why in the United States, thousands of miles away, you would give the game a distinctive name like "Tetris" What?"

Of course it is to locate the space-time coordinates and make up for the guilt of the plagiarism. Otherwise, why do you just look at the name and feel good about it?

Although Tang Huan muttered so much in his heart, he said what the other party liked most, "It's nothing strange, I know something about Russian culture, and I feel that the name "Tetris" is handsome enough, so I decided on it. To be continued.)
