Game Development Giant

And the character of such a person will not change due to changes in time and space.

In Jester's original history, Romero had such a character, such behavior and choices, and of course there would be no exception in this world.

For example, this is the reason why Jester hates Fairy Sword and Yao sb.

It is true that Yao sb is so disgusting. Seeing him is like seeing a lump of Xiang. Even people in Wan Chai are disgusted by this lump of Xiang. As a result, the immortals in China are still eating this lump of Xiang. I praised it, it smells so good.

Jester has always been a person who does whatever he wants. Since he hates this game and this person, if he has the opportunity, he will naturally use his own power to influence Sega.

Bill Gates met with Jester alone.

Bill Gates is now married. At last year's wedding, Jester was present. He has a very good relationship with Bill Gates. In addition, Bill Gates is an older gamer. He is even a game tester for Mars Entertainment. Whenever a new game is released, there will be a test. Bill Gates often takes this opportunity to play many games in advance.

In the original history, the reason why Microsoft joined the game industry was of course due to various considerations and layouts.

But in fact, the reason why Microsoft can insist on investing in this industry despite losing 2 billion every year is closely connected with Bill Gates's own persistence and stubbornness.

"Develop a special game for Windows?"

Jester and Bill Gates were drinking coffee and chatting. People like them don't have much free time.

It is not 1995, so naturally this new visual operating system cannot be called Windows 95. The previous version was. Although the official name of this operating system has not yet been determined, it was mentioned in Microsoft's internal meeting. Basically there is a unified idea, probably windows93 will be the final name of this operating system.

Moreover, this time Bill met with Jester and asked him to develop games specifically for Windows. It was just a side matter.

He had more important things to talk to Jester.

It was Carmack and id who did this back then, and the original, so-called first real FPS game "Quake" was also born under this background.

You know, when Microsoft launched Windows 95, there was not a unanimous response.

It was not as people think now that countless people gathered once it was announced, but it encountered a lot of resistance.

There was a Microsoft new product launch conference at that time. It focused on introducing Windows 95. As a result, die-hard DOS users watched Microsoft introduce their new system in the audience, and then shouted the name of DOS in unison. This happened many times, which greatly embarrassed Microsoft.

The reason why Bill Gates and Jester met was because of the ownership issue of the current Windows 93, because this system spent a lot of development funds. This is a joint project between Microsoft and Jester. The agreement signed at that time also stipulated that the ownership of this visual operating system was shared by the two people, and of course Microsoft occupied the majority.

but. Now after analysis, Microsoft's board of directors all believe that the potential contained in Windows 93 is extremely terrifying, so they want to discuss it with Jester. Can they take back their ownership rights to Windows 93? For this reason, Microsoft offered a very sincere price. This price also made Jester feel that he realized how strong Microsoft's determination was.

1.2 billion US dollars!

To know. This is not the Microsoft that was invincible around the world after win95.

Today's Microsoft is far from being unrivaled and wealthy after win95.

The US$1.2 billion in funding is already a very costly offer for Microsoft. More importantly, this price shows their determination for Windows 93.

Jester realized that they would do whatever it takes to accomplish this. Faced with such a price, Jester pondered for a long time.

Of course, he is unwilling to hand over part of the ownership rights of Windows for US$1.2 billion.

Because he knows that in the future, this thing will bring him huge wealth calculated in hundreds of billions of dollars. But the problem is that Microsoft is very likely that if he does not agree, then they would rather give up dindows93 and then start again. There is no hesitation in starting the development of new systems.

They are not going to be a ticking time bomb.

As its most important product, although Microsoft now knows that Windows 93 is likely to be a great success, they cannot or cannot foresee how successful Windows 93 will be.

Jester gave his opinion after careful consideration.

"I will not accept the offer of US$1.2 billion." When he just heard Jester say this, Bill Gates's face changed instantly.

However, Jester continued: "However, I have a condition here. You can consider it. I will use part of the ownership rights of Windows 93, and then add a price of $600 million to purchase 15% of Microsoft." shares..." Jester stated his conditions in a calm but unquestionable tone.

Although Bill Gates' face is still not very good-looking, it has softened a lot.

To be honest, internally, they also think that the price of US$1.2 billion is a bit low. However, Microsoft itself does not have much cash reserves, so it is their best possibility to come up with a price of US$1.2 billion.

If Jester didn't know the potential of Windows, he might really be impressed by the US$1.2 billion.

But it is a pity that compared to the potential of Windows, US$1.2 billion is really not worth mentioning. In fact, Microsoft has also made a plan to start research on the new system immediately if Jester does not agree. , gave up the plan to get rid of windows that they could not fully control.

"I can't agree to your request right away. It must be discussed with the board of directors..." Bill Gates quickly gave his answer.

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face that had always been ugly before.

"Based on our friendship, I can tell you in advance that I agree." (To be continued...)
