Chapter 215 The world is really small...


    Bill Gates wanted to meet Rnd, which was actually very simple.


    In fact, he doesn’t even need curves to save the country, he doesn’t need Paul Allen to date Steven Spielberg, he just needs to make a call to Rnd, and anyone who wants to find thighs all over the world will be **** off went to Seattle.


    Because Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft?


    Come on, for Rnd, this identity is not important at all.


    Behind Bill Gates is what Rnd likes.


    Many media say that Bill Gates has a good mother, so Microsoft can make a fortune, but why no one said that he has a good father, who can help Microsoft to the limit when Microsoft is deeply involved in the antitrust investigation What about another one?


    After the federal judge Thomas Jackson publicly dered that ording to the evidence collected by the court, it could prove that Microsoft did have monopolistic behavior, the appeals court directly overturned Thomas Jackson''s ruling, and within two months, the judge He was dismissed because of a series of inexplicable crimes, and the new judge who took over was his father''s man.


    It is precisely because of his background that he regards thew as nothing, so Bill Gates has a very bad reputation in America.


    How bad is it?


    He advocated that people in the third world should be vinated to prevent diseases from causing pain and damage to families. His logic is: children are vinated—child mortality rate drops—parents don’t need to have more children to ensure the survival rate of family children—the third People around the world can put aside the pressure of childbearing and devote more energy to other projects.


    However, due to the hatred of the second generation, the American people believe that vinating people in the third world means that they will have fewer children and exterminate themselves. This is a cruel and anti-human act.


    Bill Gates **** it!


    In 15 years, he said in a speech that highly contagious diseases were more deadly than wars. Five yearster, when the disaster broke out, he funded the testing and treatment in the Seattle area, and then the American people went crazy again.


    They think that Bill Gates, a god-level whistleblower, is the virus maker. His purpose of creating the virus is to reduce those who are unwilling to be vinated and disagree with him letting people be vinated, and those who are favored by him and receive treatment All the survivors will be his believers, and he himself will control human beings through healing methods and be God.


    Bill - Gates really damn!


    ╮(╯▽╰)╭


    This is really powerless toin.


    Happy education has taught a group of idiots.


    Rnd couldn''t believe that there are people with such brain circuits in the world!


    The point is that there are still a bunch!


    No wonder many people believe that injecting disinfectant into their bodies can kill viruses!


    How about a bunch of brains!


    But precisely because of the existence of these idiots, it actually proves how awesome Bill Gates is.


    The background is too big, and ordinary people feel scared.


    epted anti-monopoly investigations on the front foot, receivedrge orders for nuclear-powered aircraft carrier software and national defense information security systems on the back foot, and then worked with Lockheed Martin to eat the U.S. Air Force’srge-scale spacemand and control center technology upgrade service.


    Monopoly?


    I have monopolized it, so what can you do to me?


    I didn’t have an umbre before, but now, whoever investigates me will be at odds with national security!


    Without my action, you are gone!


    Such a thick thigh was ced in front of Rnd, if he didn''t hug it, wouldn''t it be ack of care?


    However, before Spielberg received the invitation, he called Rnd. Bill Gates, who personally invited Jobs, also encountered problems. Then rush to face.


    "Didn''t you pay close attention to the research and development of IE4.0 recently? Why did you call me during working hours?"


    "What? You want toe to California? Did I hear correctly? IE4.0 will be released this year, why do you still have time to run around?"


    "take me Out to eat?"


    "Wow, wow, wow...William, are you trying tough at me? If you don''t have a ce to eat, why don''t you just go to my house after getting off the ne? Why are you calling? I''m very busy now, we''ll meet upter, hang up ah…"


    "Huh? What are you talking about? You are noting to Cupertino this time, but to Los Angeles?"


    "Who are you going to see in Los Angeles?"


    "What? Go to see DreamWorks with Paul, and invite Steven and Rnd to have a meal by the way?"


    When Steve Jobs, who was sitting at his desk, heard the itinerary information from Bill Gates on the phone, the guy with a smile on his face, holding the receiver between his fingers, and writing quickly stopped his actions.


    While putting down the pen, he raised his right hand and moved the earpiece stuck on his left shoulder to his right ear.


    Ben''s eyes, which fell on the writing area, swung to sweep away. When he saw the adjustment report of thepany''s shareholder list on the table, the dazzling Shouwang Venture Capital and Microsoft made him raise his eyebrows.


    Because the document is wrapped in transparent stic, the content on it is clearly identifiable.


    ‘As of April 1st, Apple’srgest shareholder is Shouwang Venture Capital, holding 10.73% of the shares; Apple’s secondrgest shareholder, Microsoft, holds 7.5% of the shares (non-voting stocks). ''


    This report had already been in his hands when the shareholders’ information was disclosed, and the reason why he stayed here was because he thanked his friends for their kindness, but—he really couldn’t ept it.


    "William, didn''t I say that I can reorganize Apple''s board of directors without your help."


    "Gill Amelio will be kicked out by me, he will not cause me any trouble."


    If someone else wanted to help Jobs, he would have yelled at him, but Bill Gates is different.


    Simr to Steven Spielberg, Jobs and Bill Gates have known each other for more than 20 years.


    In April 1977, Jobs took the Apple II prototype to theputer exhibition. At that time, he met Bill Gates. At that time, Gates was selling BASIC with Paul Allen. After creating the human Apple prototype, Bill Gates flew to Apple headquarters without doing business, hoping to learn life experience from Jobs.


    In the 1980s, Jobs, who invented the Macintosh, needed the help of the microprocessor, so he flew to the Microsoft headquarters every day. Under the cooperation of the two parties, the personalputer that used the graphical user interface for the first time appeared. .


    Before 1985, the two were brothers who talked about everything, but after the release of Windows, the rtionship between the two appeared to be estranged. Jobs used Gates of stealing his own achievements, and Gates said that we Both of them stole the crystallization of research in the XeroxPARCboratory.


    But it didn’t take long before the quarrel, Jobs was kicked out of Apple, and with his departure, Microsoft made progress in the PC field, and after leaving his field of expertise, Jobs, who had nothing to do, didn’t bother A former friend, until the documentary was filmed in 1996, he still imed that what Microsoft achieved was just a nerd-like victory.


    Time may be the best medicine. Although the two often quarreled publicly, when Microsoft funded Apple, Jobs still modified the 150 million free aid, promised to build IE on Appleputers, and gave up thewsuit. Allwsuits against Microsoft for copyright infringement, and Microsoft has also deployed personnel to update the Office series on the Mac and give Apple software support.


    If you say that they hold grudges against each other, then they can really fight, but if you say that they have never been in touch with each other, neither of them is a fool. If the other party really has a problem, they will still help.


    It''s just that both parties have their own pride and don''t allow others to point and point at their children. Therefore, both sides will do things like help the horse, as for giving it a ride...


    They all feel that this kind of concern is a bit redundant.


    But, remember, of course I remember it.


    It is precisely because of this strange feeling that after hearing Jobs’ extremely firm words, Bill Gates did not persist, but said: “Microsoft is holding non-voting shares, and this thing can’t help you reorganize Apple’s board of directors. Okay?"


    "I didmunicate with Gil Amelio, but what I told him was that you are just a salesman and don''t know anything about the product itself, so he doesn''t care what you think, because you don''t know anything. Understand."


    If it were someone else, those who had been angered by such insulting remarks would have been furious, but both parties knew each other''s temper, so after hearing such words, Jobs'' indifferent face regained its brilliance.


    Not only that, he alsoughed and sneered: "Yes, you understand the product, but you have no taste, you don''t know what the user likes at all, you only know what business methods to use to make thepany develop better! Microsoft Windows that It''s just a product that users can''t bypass, and it can''t bring any cultural attributes to people at all!"


    As soon as the words came out, there was a burst ofughter from the other end of the phone.


    And after hearing two different chaotic voices, Jobs also understood, "Paul is here?"


    "Yeah, Steve, long time no see." Paul Allen, who didn''t hide, smiled happily.


    "Oh!" Jobs shook his head again and again when he heard the teasing words.


    "The two of you are still the same as twenty years ago, one is on the phone and the other is eavesdropping!"


    "How can this be called eavesdropping? William just called you in front of me..." Paul Allen retorted.


    "Okay, Okay..." Jobs didn''t bother to pay attention to these two live treasures, "Since you are here, let''s rify the matter. Did you instruct Rnd Allen to buy the Apple stock in his hand?"


    "You really don''t need to do this, those guys on Apple''s board are not my opponents at all."


    This is the benefit of being connected all over the world.


    Rnd Allen is doing something now, and what others think about is not what he wants to do, but who made him do it.


    Just like the current Apple stock, after Steve Jobs got the report, he only had two thoughts in his mind:


    First, it was Bill Gates and Paul Allen who wanted to keep themselves in the top position, but they couldn''t make a direct shot, so they made a roundabout attack and let Steven Spielberg, the helm of DreamWorks who had maintained a good rtionship with Microsoft, The guy from Greg came forward to hold Apple shares, clean up the opposition on the board of directors, and let him control Apple in the shortest possible time.


    Second, it was naturally the initiative of DreamWorks, which has been learning from Pixar. Steven Spielberg, who has maintained a friendship with Pixar for more than 20 years, signaled his students to help him clean up the enemies. I also hope that DreamWorks Animation and Pixar can carry out good cooperation. If colleagues are enemies, they will not turn their faces in the face of more than 20 years of friendship.


    As for Rnd Allen himself, he wants to buy Apple stock?


    This kind of thing can only be pondered by Bill Gates who studies how to defeat Netscape every day.


    After other people learned about this kind of thing, they naturally thought that Rnd had too many backers. I had to think about whether to hit me or help me, and when these guys made up their minds, Rnd would change. Make people and animals harmless.


    At least,pared to those **** and cruel predators behind Rnd, Rnd is quite cute.


    However, just when Jobs thought he had guessed right, repeated denials came from the receiver.


    "Steve, this matter has nothing to do with me. 7.5% of the equity is already my limit, and I won''t let Microsoft invest too much." Bill Gates said sincerely.


    "Steve, I didn''t do this." Paul Allen said with a smile: "Besides, I just learned from William that Rnd not only bought up Apple''s equity in a big way, but also bought shares in the primary market. Crazy sweep away Microsoft''s shares."


    "Although it hasn''t reached one percent, it''s almost there."


    "If we asked him to help you, he should now hold more than 20% of Apple''s shares."


    "Besides, this matter should not have been done by Steven."


    It seemed that what he said was unfounded and baseless, so Paul Allen recounted the content he had just seen, and when Jobs learned that what Rnd was doing was Inte brand content, he had been doing it for the past ten days. He was wondering who Rnd was working for, and gradually epted the fact that Rnd might be an investor.


    Not only that, he said unexpectedly: "Is Blizzard Entertainment a wholly-ownedpany of Rnd?"


    "When I was chatting with Tripp Hawkins before, I heard him mention it."


    "This is a very good game contentpany, so good that EA wants to buy it at a premium."


    "I was curious before, how could apany like EA fail to acquire peers."


    "It seems that Blizzard Entertainment really can''t buy it."


    Speaking of this, the three of themughed at the same time.


    Business acquisitions in business are extremely normal.


    However, manypanies cannot be sessfully acquired if you want to acquire them.


    Just as Boeing cannot be acquired by foreign capital, many smallpanies are hobbies of big bosses.


    They are neither short of money norck of power, you want to achieve expansion by acquiring thepany in the hands of such a person?


    Dream it!


    And after making everything clear, Jobs finally agreed to Bill Gates'' invitation.


    However, when he agreed, he also specially emphasized, "I didn''t attend the private dinner because of you, I just want to meet Apple''s major shareholder, Steven''s student, Okay?"


    "Know, know, know..."


    Bill Gates and Paul Allen nodded repeatedly, but while answering, the two middle-aged men lying on the table smiled like children. How could they not know that Jobs was a dead duck?


    Obviously they aroused Jobs'' curiosity about Rnd, so he had to act like a normal person.


    I really want to save face and suffer!


    "Okay, what date is that?"


    "At the beginning of May, Steven''s "Rage" will not be closed until the end of April, and in mid-May, they will go to the UK. I heard that before filming "Saving Private Ryan", they have to ept Half a month of military training?"


    "Okay, I''ve fixed the time, call me directly, hang up, you guys are wasting too much of my time."


    When Jobs hung up the phone mercilessly, the two who heard the beeping sound smiled and shook their heads.


    "He''s still like this."


    "Fake it, he''s amazing if he can pretend for a lifetime."


    While hanging up the phone, Jobs picked up the receiver again and dialed the short number within thepany.


    After the voice of inquiry came from the receiver, he blurted out a cleanmand.


    "Tell the board of directors that Rnd Allen is mine. Within three days, I hope to see Gil Amelio get out of thepany with his own things. Otherwise, wait for the extraordinary general meeting."


    "At that time, everyone has to go."


    Snapped!


    Without giving the other person any time to reflect, Jobs had already hung up the phone.


    After two seconds of silence, he himselfughed first.


    right! He has his own pride, but he is not stupid!


    He returned to Apple to make aeback. Before that, of course, he must be in power!


    He doesn''t want to borrow Bill Gates'' power, but Rnd Allen...


    Hold the grass, did you y games with your teacher back then?


    Pixar is also bought by him!


    We are not outsiders!


    If your own people help your own people, it is not considered helping at all, right?


    If Rnd knows, after so many **** stoves happened in a day that he didn''t know.


    He''s sure tough his head off.


    These shares were acquired for you! Just take care of yourself!


    hooked up with Jobs (×)

    Wall Street is well connected (√)

    The world is really small...


    Note: ①Bill Gates is about to be sprayed to death this time, and now some people even suspect that the medical institutions he invests in treat patients by imnting nano-robots into their bodies to control the cured patients. This statement really made my headugh off. ②The rtionship between Jobs and Bill Gates is really good. Although the two usually talk to each other, when Jobs returned to Apple and held the first Macworld meeting, Bill Gates also showed up via video connection to help him stand of. As for why they didn''t go to the venue, there was a burst of boos in the video link venue. When Apple released iTunes, Bill Gates also issued an internal statement from Microsoft, saying that Jobs was leading Apple in a revolution.
