Reborn IT Giant

…

"Mr. Gates, I finally meet you, but I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances." After Zheng Yan saw Bill Gates, he quickly stood up.

"Oh? It seems that Mr. Zheng had expected that I would come?" Bill Gates said with a smile.

"That's not true. I knew we would meet. After all, I am also a shareholder of Microsoft. I may be able to hide this from others, but I definitely can't hide it from you, Mr. Gates. It's just that the meeting time is earlier than I expected."

Zheng Yan has been preparing for this meeting for a whole year, but in Zheng Yan's plan, his meeting with Bill Gates should be before and after Netscape's listing, not now. But Zheng Yan also understands the reason why

This change should be related to the interview not long ago.

"Zheng Yan, you said it yourself. We are all shareholders of Microsoft, and we are also partners. Don't you need to be so polite?"

In the eyes of technology companies in Silicon Valley, Microsoft is a very aggressive company, and Bill Gates is the invader in everyone's eyes. However, when communicating with Zheng Yan, he seemed very casual, and unknowingly changed his attitude towards Zheng Yan.

Yan's name.

"You're right, I'd better call you Gates. After all, Bill sounds a bit strange." Zheng Yan said and glanced at Bill Miller next to him.

Unlike the tense meeting between Jim Clark and Jim Clark yesterday, the meeting between Zheng Yan and Bill Gates seemed very harmonious from the beginning. However, this is also because there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two, and there is still an opportunity for cooperation.

.

"Gates, I know you like to play table tennis. I happen to have a table tennis room at home. How about we compete?" Zheng Yan had several guesses about Bill Gates's intention, but which reason was more important.

, Zheng Yan was not sure for a moment, so he changed the topic.

"Okay, I just want to test my skills with you." It's no secret that Bill Gates likes table tennis. In addition, he was a little confused about Zheng Yan, so he agreed.

Whether it is golf, which is popular in Western upper class society, or olive trees, basketball, tennis, baseball, etc., which are popular in the United States, there is no one

This is what Zheng Yan is good at. Fortunately, Zheng Yan is pretty good at table tennis. After more than half an hour, the two of them finally played evenly.

"Okay, no more fighting," Bill Gates said, waving his hands.

After all, Bill Gates is a forty-year-old middle-aged man, so how can he compete physically with a young man in his twenties like Zheng Yan, so he first lost in terms of physical strength.

"Okay, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on if I continue to fight. Come on, let's go swimming together. The feeling of being covered in sweat is really not good."

This time Zheng Yan did not ask Bill Gates for his opinion, but took him and Bill Miller directly to the outdoor swimming pool in the yard.

Regarding the meeting with Bill Gates, Zheng Yan had already thought about it yesterday. Not only had the water been put in the swimming pool, but also the sobered red wine was prepared beside the swimming pool.

After the exercise, Zheng Yan swam back and forth in the swimming pool and suddenly felt refreshed. Then he took a glass of red wine and sat on a chair on the shore. Not long after, Bill Gates also climbed up.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that with your current worth, you can live such a leisurely life. Don't you ever worry about the company's affairs?"

Bill Gates saw Zheng Yan's lazy look and knew that this was not Zheng Yan's disguise, and that Zheng Yan was used to this kind of life, so he couldn't help but feel strange.

"Gates, this is the first time you have met Zheng Yan, so you don't know him well yet. I have known him five years ago, and I joined Yanhuang Investment at that time, but I haven't seen him since I met him.

He worked hard even for a day, not to mention work, he didn't even bother to ask about the company's situation."

"The outside media has been rumoring that Zheng Yan is low-key. Although it is not wrong, only those who know him know that he is not only low-key, but also because of laziness. You may not believe it if you tell me, if it wasn't today

If you want to come, Zheng Yan might still be sleeping in bed right now."

Regarding Bill Miller's disruptive behavior, Zheng Yan didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Bill, you don't understand this. I know how to enjoy life. Life only lasts for a few decades. If you live a wonderful life every day,

Hard work, that's not

Is it too boring?"

Hearing the conversation between Zheng Yan and Bill Miller, Bill Gates really refreshed his understanding of Zheng Yan. Bill Gates didn't know how much Zheng Yan was worth now, but he was sure that it was definitely more than the entire Microsoft, but

How could Zheng Yan accumulate so much wealth with his mentality?

"Zheng Yan, I'm curious, since you live so leisurely every day, how do you find some investment opportunities? For example, Netscape?"

Zheng Yan had made some guesses about Bill Gates's intention. Although he could not confirm it conclusively, it was definitely related to Netscape. There was no doubt about this. Now that Bill Gates had taken the initiative to bring it up, Zheng Yan also became interested.

"Gates, I said a few years ago that I am very interested in the Internet industry, but my understanding of the Internet industry is a little different from others. In my opinion, whether it is a company that produces computer software and hardware, or a company that produces peripherals

Product companies, even mobile phone manufacturers, all belong to Internet-related industries."

"So whenever I encounter a company in this field and there is an investment opportunity, I will get involved. It's just that I have better luck. So far, there has been no investment failure. It is not as amazing as the outside world reports."

"Because of this, I only need to know this information, and it is not difficult. Before the establishment of Yanhuang Investment, I had a dedicated person to help me collect this information. After the establishment of Yanhuang Investment, this task was handed over to

With Bill, I will naturally feel relaxed."

"As for investing in Netscape, it was just a coincidence. I left the United States in the summer of 1991 and didn't come back until the end of last year. It's just that I had better luck. I met Jim Clark, the president of Netscape, in Olympic City.

It’s that simple.”

After hearing Zheng Yan's explanation, Bill Gates suddenly didn't know what to say. Netscape is now regarded as Microsoft's biggest enemy, but the process of Zheng Yan becoming a shareholder of Netscape was actually full of drama. Could it be that Zheng Yan left?

Is it really just luck to get to this point?

"Zheng Yan, maybe your investment in Netscape was an accident, and your investment in Cisco and Oracle was also luck. But what about your original investment in crude oil futures? What do you say? Is that also luck?"
