Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 783 Bill Gates refused?

"Paul Allen? I've heard of you. You are a talented engineer. It's nice to meet you. We are from a capital company. My name is Xia Yu. They are my subordinates."

Xia Yu stopped his subordinates from coming forward, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said to Paul Allen with a smile on his face.

As for Paul Allen, Xia Yu is very clear. As the co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen of later generations has assets of more than 20 billion US dollars, but because he failed to fight against the disease, he finally left all his assets to his sister.

In the past life, Microsoft was branded as Bill Gates. The public didn't know much about Paul Allen, most of whom knew that he was the co-founder of Microsoft.

But as everyone knows, if Paul Allen hadn't encouraged Bill Gates to drop out of school, Microsoft might have appeared, but it would definitely not be the Microsoft of the previous life.

And in Microsoft, Paul Allen's talent is stronger than that of Bill Gates. In terms of technology, it is mainly Paul Allen, who is Bill Gates' teacher and friend.

It can be said that Paul Allen is to Microsoft what Steve Wozniak is to Apple.

Both are true heroes behind the company's technological foundations, but the limelight has been almost stolen by Jobs and Bill Gates, who are in the foreground in charge of business affairs.

Therefore, for Microsoft at this time, Xia Yu valued Paul Allen more than the world's richest man in later generations.

Without Paul Allen, there would be no achievements of Microsoft Corporation. Without him, there would be no future Microsoft DOS system. After all, this system was found by Paul Allen and bought out.

"Capital Company?"

Although Xia Yu didn't say the company name, just the words "capital company" made Paul Allen's heart skip a beat, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

As a software company, he is eager to be valued by capital, and then use the power of capital to accelerate the company's rise.

However, Microsoft has been developing for five years, and before that, no capital company has come to the door.

Now suddenly one appears, is it...

Fortunately, Paul Allen can still distinguish the current occasion. He interrupted the infinite reverie in his mind, and immediately welcomed Xia Yu and others into the conference room enthusiastically. When he excused to take the cup, he immediately informed the studio. of Bill Gates.

Therefore, Xia Yu sat down for less than a minute when he saw 24-year-old Bill Gates come in with Paul Allen, and greeted Xia Yu and others enthusiastically and confidently.

"Hello, Mr. Xia, welcome to you, I'm Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft Corporation."

"Hello, Mr. Gates."

After all, Bill Gates is the child of lawyers and business elites. He was born much higher than Paul Allen and has seen the world. Although he is three years younger than Paul Allen, his technical ability is not as good as Paul Allen.

But in business communication, the ability is much stronger than Paul Allen.

Therefore, after chatting for a while, Bill Gates smiled and asked Xia Yu, "Mr. Xia, may I ask you to come to our company, what's the matter?"

Xia Yu glanced at him, nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't worry about this, can you tell us about your company before that?"

"Of course no problem, why don't we go after drinking this cup of coffee? Let's talk about something else first?" Although Bill Gates was looking forward to it, he was able to keep calm, knowing that the more critical the time, the less gaffe, so as not to follow It was a loss, so he glanced at the coffee that had just been served on the table and asked with a smile.

Xia Yu couldn't help but glance at him, with a faint smile on his face, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I also want to know about your company's past."

"Okay, then I'll start with the creation of the company, what do you think?"

"Of course you can, please!"

...

As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, Bill Gates smiled slightly, and began to tell about the past of Microsoft. He thought of interesting things in the middle, and sang with Paul Allen,

The past of Microsoft is told in humorous words.

At this time, Microsoft has not yet transformed, it is just a small company, the interests are not too big, and the relationship between Bill Gates and Paul Allen is still very harmonious.

Looking at the tacit understanding between the two, Xia Yu felt a strange feeling in his heart, especially when he saw Bill Gates' seemingly sincere appearance and Paul Allen's straightforward character, he couldn't help thinking about Paul Ai Len lamented.

Bill Gates, who grew up in a business and legal elite family, is naturally more interested in interests than Paul Allen.

It is clear that in the early days of Microsoft, Paul Allen paid more than Bill Gates. When the equity was officially divided later, Bill Gates took 60% of the equity, and even Bill Gates made progress step by step. Several times, I wanted to re-divide the shareholding, or issue additional shares to dilute Paul Allen's equity.

An engineer is an engineer, and there are shortcomings in terms of calculations and gains and losses.

Before I knew it, the coffee was almost finished, and Bill Gates and Paul Allen also introduced the basic situation of Microsoft Corporation. Xia Yu proposed to take a close look at the specific business level of Microsoft Corporation.

Afterwards, Bill Gates and Paul Allen took Xia Yu to go shopping in Microsoft, focusing on the studio. Paul Allen introduced Xia Yu and others to Microsoft's BASIC interpretation. achievement on the device.

During the whole process, Xia Yu kept a smile and communicated with Paul Allen from time to time. After a lot of professional terms came out of Xia Yu's mouth, Paul Allen and Bill Gates changed their expressions and realized that Xia Yu Yu is also a professional, they couldn't deceive him, so he was more cautious in introducing him, and he didn't dare to make false introductions, lest it would be embarrassing to be exposed.

After walking around, Xia Yu had a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft at that time.

There is no doubt that at this time Microsoft was indeed a small software company with only twenty employees in total.

The only thing that can be done is the achievement in the field of BASIC interpreters.

When everyone returned to the office again, Xia Yu looked at Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who were looking forward and anxious in their eyes. He smiled secretly, and it turned out that they were only two young people, one was only twenty-seven years old, and the other was only twenty-seven. He is only twenty-four years old, no matter how he pretends to be calm, when it comes to a critical moment, he still inevitably reveals his true thoughts.

Xia Yu didn't intend to drag them along. With a straight face, he said bluntly: "Mr. Allen, Mr. Gates, I have just learned about Microsoft's situation, and now we should have a formal talk."

Paul Allen looked solemn, nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Xia, please speak!"

Xia Yu glanced over the faces of the two and said slowly: "Microsoft has a certain value, because you have made some achievements in the BASIC interpreter market, but the value is also limited, after all, the BASIC interpreter market has a certain value. The capacity is fixed there, and the ceiling of the market determines the upper limit of the growth of your business today."

Bill Gates and Paul Allen were heartbroken, but they had to acquiesce that what Xia Yu said was the truth.

Now that Xia Yu said that, it was nothing more than lowering the price.

Just listen to Xia Yu continue: "But during the visit just now, I saw something different, that is your attitude towards technology love, there is no doubt that you are outstanding technical elites, so compared to Microsoft's BASIC For the achievements of the interpreter market, I value your technical talents more."

"That's why I decided to fully acquire Microsoft."

As soon as these words came out, Bill Gates and Paul Allen immediately changed color, and Bill Gates seemed to be about to veto it.

Xia Yu raised his voice and said again: "But I will inject capital into the company and give out 20% of the options. According to your contribution to the company, I will reward you in the future. I believe that with your two abilities, You can get a lot of equity.”

Bill Gates and Paul Allen looked at each other, Bill Gates looked resolute, Paul Allen pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and gave in.

Then I saw Bill Gates resolutely said to Xia Yu: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, Microsoft carries our dream, we will not sell it, we only accept venture capital."
