Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

It doesn't matter whether Microsoft made its fortune by making this basic interpreter. Just look at whether there is Gates in the company. It just so happens that when Carter was thinking about how to go to the company room with Paul smoothly,

Paul took the initiative to invite.

"Fake, these Bitchis are thieves! They are thieves! Why do they think that the interpreter we have worked so hard to develop will be given to them for free?! They are not even willing to pay five dollars!"

At this time, Microsoft was a small company, or a small workshop. Three microcomputers that Carter didn't recognize, plus a blackboard that might have been used for meetings, left almost nothing. The most important thing was that Carter

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a thin guy with his back to him, cursing, and frantically tapping on the typewriter.

"Hey, Bill, that's enough, that's enough. Stop scolding, we have guests coming, don't do this in front of the guests, okay?"

As soon as Carter finished boasting that his company was the best in the field of interpreters, he turned around and saw that his good friend was getting angry because he wanted to collect money. Paul looked extremely embarrassed.

The asset size of his company is not as large as Carter's, but Paul also wants to be proud, okay? No matter how good this small company is, he founded it with his own hands. Paul may not have the idea of ​​showing off to Carter, maybe it is not because he wants to show off to Carter.

Pretending to be cool in front of someone just means "look, I'm not bad either".

"Carter, I'm sorry for letting you see this. In fact, most of the time, our situation is good, and the payment recovery is not bad. Now we still have money to hire an employee."

Paul explained nonchalantly. This pale explanation seemed particularly weak when faced with the rosy-faced, extremely excited and skinny young man. Fortunately, at this time, his good friend took over the topic:

"Guest? Who is coming to our place? Are you here to buy an interpreter? There is one on the disk over there. It's five dollars a copy. It's a fair price, and it's fair! Remember to take it back and copy it, and then return the disk.

.If you don’t want to pay it back, that’s fine, then you have to pay more!”

The thin young man turned his head as he spoke. When his face slowly appeared, Carter's heartbeat almost stopped. Yes, it was him! Bill Gates, the future richest man in the world!

It's just that this richest man doesn't look like a rich man at all now. Instead, he looks like a philistine like the old lady selling sugar cookies on Douglas Street.

"Hey! Bill, that's enough for you. Carter is my friend. I invited him to visit, so can you stop rushing to sell? We're not that poor yet, right?"

"Your friend? When did you meet? Why didn't I know? Are you a university alumnus?"

Hearing Paul's helpless speech, Brother Gates was also stunned. In confusion, he stretched out his right hand:

"Hello, Carter, welcome to Microsoft. Paul and I are alumni of Lakeside High School. We were separated for just a few years until college, so I'm a little surprised when he met you. I...actually not

Malice, just curiosity...you know that, right?"

"I know, I know, it doesn't matter, I don't care about this. On the contrary, I envy the friendship between you. Speaking of it, I seem to be unable to accurately call my classmates by their names. Compared with you, I am so low.

.I’m Carter!”

Carter had already met many big guys when he was in New York. Now facing the legendary boss Gates, Carter was not afraid. But when he shook hands with Gates, Carter's hands were still a little shaky...

This is exciting!

Whether it’s Peter Lynch or Soros, they are all considered successful and famous now. If you participate yourself, you are just holding someone else’s lap, and the boss will take the younger brother to fly for a while; other well-known companies are now almost all big players.

No matter what Keke, General Motors, Boeing, etc., they don't give themselves any chance to mix.

Only Microsoft, the company I care about the most, is in the worst condition! Listen to the richest man’s scolding, isn’t this too urgent, is he? The worse the situation of Microsoft is, the more excited Carter becomes. To put it bluntly,

, Carter is a little regretful now, why is Microsoft not on the verge of bankruptcy?

They are hanging on like this now, making it difficult for them to make a move! It is too abrupt to mention investment rashly, and people will definitely not believe it... What a pity, what a pity...

"Then you can't do this. Only after I came out did I feel that my school days were the best. Now I feel a little regretful that I listened to Paul's deceit and dropped out of school early... Sigh!"

"What you said is a bit unflattering. If you didn't have ambition, would you come out with me? Well, don't let Carter see the joke. Let me tell you, Carter is very powerful. Do you know? He

He is only 16 years old, but he has already made hundreds of thousands of dollars in New York. I think you can ask his opinion. If you send collection letters like this desperately, the effect seems to be not very good..."

As Paul talked, his confidence was running low again. He had warmly invited Carter to visit, as if he treated him as a real brother, but how could he be a real brother?! We had just met, and their friendship was almost just by exchanging names. How could it be possible?

So passionate about Carter?

At first, Paul saw Carter stopping in front of his company, and he just wondered if this person wanted to buy his products, so he went up to talk to him. Then he took a fancy to Carter's earning ability, no matter that Carter said he had earned hundreds of thousands.

Whether it's true or not, this is an opportunity. If you can get a revenue plan from Carter for free, you can make a lot of money. If you don't get it, you won't lose.

It's just that when he actually said these words, the young Paul felt a little embarrassed, as if he was taking advantage of Carter's friendship. But he would still say what needed to be said, and Paul was very clear in his heart:

"Carter, don't get me wrong, I want to ask you to help me give me some advice, but I..."

"It's okay, Paul. Can you first introduce your products to me, as well as the market situation and your current revenue, and then I will give you some ideas. But the ugly words come first, and what I say may not necessarily work.

, because I made money in the stock market, and in the computer field, I am a layman."

Carter waved his hand nonchalantly and motioned for Paul to introduce him to him. Just use it. He enthusiastically got close to Paul, wasn't he also utilitarian?

The ancestors have said that everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit. Carter is very open-minded in this regard. There is no problem in using yourself, but the premise is that you must also have something that I can use, then let’s

Utilizing each other... Bah, mutual benefit is great. Carter is also trying to learn about Microsoft now...

"Okay, it doesn't matter. I just want to hear suggestions and guidance on profitability. Then I said, the main products we make now are..."

Paul gave the main lecture and Bill assisted. After a while, Carter understood the current situation of Microsoft. Their current products are extremely single. Since the founding of Microsoft in 1975, their products have all centered on basic language software development.

At first, they were just computer enthusiasts. Like other enthusiasts, they developed basic programming software and interpreters for AiDian. Later, after receiving an order to write interpretation software based on basic language for Altair of mits company, this

I just dropped out of school and founded Microsoft, and had a stable income. But the good times didn't last long. This year, MITs collapsed, and they lost their only major customer.

Ever since, the anxious Bill began to betray his original intention. He charged for the basic interpreter that he had shared for free with other enthusiasts. And this guy is also very scheming!

Different from the interpreters made by other amateur teams, after all, they have also been outsourced for mits company for several years. The technology is more mature, and the polishing of the product is much better than the interpreters made by many individual enthusiasts working behind closed doors. Microsoft

After the interpreter entered the market, the product was rolled out very quickly.

After many people installed Microsoft's interpreter on their computers, Bill started charging!
