Chapter 37： There are many people named Xiuer in our China

There are many people named Paul in the United States, but there is only one Paul who founded Microsoft with Bill.

Xu Ang didn't know much about this person, but he knew a lot about Bill. Fortunately, there was an American named Hendry beside him, who quickly and concisely introduced Paul's life to Xu Ang before he left the New York Stock Exchange.

In Hendry's words, Lycheon discovered a very interesting thing.

Paul, the main founder of Microsoft, left the company several years ago due to illness, but he still holds 15% of its shares.

Don't underestimate this 15%. In a big company like Microsoft, even Bill's shares will not be too much. Paul, who has such a share, will not be too weak even if he is not as good as Bill's in terms of voice.

Because of physical reasons, I can only leave the company I founded, and I still hold a large share of the company's shares. Every year, the dividends alone are an astronomical wealth. From this point of view, there is no problem.

Interestingly, however, Paul quickly started another company after leaving Microsoft and became his own boss.

Microsoft, which has a promising future, did not wait, but started anew and started again, which is very intriguing.

Guessing from a certain angle, the conclusion is just three words - there is a story.

"Young man, you are amazing."

As soon as he met Paul, he put on a high hat for Xu Ang. His compliments would be very useful to someone from the United States, but to Xu Ang, a Chinese native, he could only be deeply vigilant.

With Paul's status and wealth, not to mention that Xu Ang is only one of Netscape's shareholders, even if Netscape's equity is all his, Paul doesn't need to do so.

No matter what, he is diligent, and he is either a traitor or a thief.

"It's an honor to have your compliment, what I've done is nothing compared to what you've accomplished. Microsoft is on a legendary path, and as the main founders of this great company, you and President Bill are A role model for all of us. For young people like me, you are the beacon, illuminating the way we go, and the beacon in the dark night, guiding us in the direction. If we are in the dark night Fireflies only emit light the size of a grain of rice, then you are the bright moon in the sky, spreading the moonlight all over the world, bringing light and hope to people in the dark."

Speaking of compliments, who wouldn't be like that.

Paul: "..."

I just said one thing, you cracked me back a lot.

I thought that if a young man made some achievements, if he was praised by a big man like me, it would swell to the sky, and then it would be convenient for me to act. But I don't want you, a young man from the East, to be such a thief. I haven't inflated you yet, and you are about to talk me out of the air. It's really terrifying.

Xu Ang smiled standardly.

Small sample, you must be dumbfounded.

Do you really think our young people are so foolish?

Tell you, don't underestimate young people, especially the key emperor who has been with the keyboard all the year round and has reached the extreme state, otherwise you will either be sprayed with doubts about life, or be praised to the point of forgetting who you are.

Fortunately, Paul is also a person who has gone through great storms, so he is not speechless. He praised: "Are all the young people in China as good as you, Xu?"

Xu Ang nodded honestly and replied, "The nine-year compulsory education that everyone accepts, there are many people in China who are called Xiu'er."

"You mean there are many outstanding young people in China?"

Paul thinks that he did not understand the meaning of Xu Ang's second half of the sentence because of the cultural differences between the East and the West, as well as the grammatical differences between Chinese and English.

Although there are only a few sentences and no substantive content, how can Paul's experience not show Xu Ang's difficulty in dealing with it.

The young man from China is more calm and slick than his peers. If it weren't for his youthful face, Paul would have thought that he was a middle-aged man who had experienced many years of social experience.

Paul swore that if it weren't for the limited time, he would give Xu Ang a good lesson, accompany Xu Ang to chat, and chatted endlessly until Xu Ang doubted his life. But now he can't do that, because according to the news he has received, Bill's people will soon find it, and he will have to go to great lengths to achieve his goal by then.

So, Paul began to get to the point.

"I heard that you and Jim have a repurchase agreement. Netscape is a promising company, don't you feel a pity to let it go?"

"No matter how promising I am, I have to abide by the spirit of the contract, even if in my opinion Netscape is as great as Microsoft, and they are also on the road to becoming a legend."

"You compare a newly listed company with Microsoft?"

Paul looked surprised.

"Microsoft has been tested by the market, and its profitability is not comparable to that of Netscape."

"If you think so, then I will be very disappointed." Xu Ang said to Paul very seriously, "In my opinion, Microsoft and Netscape are essentially no different. What they do is simplify complex problems. ."

"Microsoft frees people from the tedious process of using a computer, such as learning DOS commands, and how easy it is to click the mouse. What Netscape has done is to free people from the long list of different URLs on the World Wide Web. , also with a mouse click, you can open the web page you want to see, and you can go wherever you want on the World Wide Web."

"Microsoft is becoming a legend, why not Netscape? In my opinion, the difference between them is that one is already on the right track and the other is just getting started."

"Think about it, Mr. Paul, how many people will you be if you have a large stake in both companies that are becoming legendary when they succeed, when people remember the past in the future An idol you look up to. Bill won't be as close to you then because he only has one Microsoft, and he founded it with you."

"I have to say, the future you describe makes me very moved."

Paul gave Xu Ang a deep look. Before contacting Xu Ang, he thought that what he had to deal with was just a Chinese who happened to have good luck, but he didn't want this young man to think about things so thoroughly, completely thinking of him. gone. You still expect to fool such a young man like you fool others. Paul can't think of such a good thing.

"So, young man, do you want to continue to hold shares in Netscape?"

Actually, after hearing what Xu Ang said, Paul was not too sure about acquiring Xu Ang's shares. He never thought that Xu Ang's answer would make his eyes light up.

"No! I sell it just because it's valuable, because my ideal is not here."

ideal?

Ha, what a passionate young man, are all Chinese people so cute?

Before the joy in his heart came, Paul heard Xu Ang say: "So, Mr. Paul, do you think President Bill will pay $2 billion for it?"

"Impossible." Paul shook his head. "You don't know Bill. His reaction to the Internet is slower than my hundred-year-old grandmother."

"So I'm going to sell it to you for a billion dollars, but you have to do me a little favor."

"Before tax?"

Xu Ang raised his brows. He also knew that it seemed that the tentacles of big capitalists were everywhere in this country, and their energy was terrifying.

"After tax."

"If you insist..." Paul thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Deal."
