v2 Chapter 1512： gifts for cattle

Putting fate in the hands of outsiders is definitely not the style of Bao's richest man. Blacksmithing also needs to be **** its own. At present, in the current situation of Xiangjiang, no one can count on it. Then we can only work hard from Fucaira. Although they have been very careful, when the interests of the Americans are touched, they will still try their best to clean up you.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Everyone knows what Bill Gates wants to do. After taking a reassurance, he wants to negotiate the price with the underwriters. Although the stock price has been basically determined, it will be more beneficial if there is a price before the listing. When the news is released, then institutions and investors will naturally rush to buy.”

"Then we will give him this reassurance. After all, I am also one of Microsoft's major shareholders."

Hearing that Bao Zixuan did not refuse, John Chambers somewhat knew what he meant. But the boss didn't say it clearly, and he didn't want to speculate.

Came to the Hilton Hotel and saw that four people were already waiting for him. Although they both knew each other, two of them were meeting for the first time after all, so I was embarrassed to go up there rashly. And as the founder of the company, Bill Gates still has to introduce several people to each other.

For Bao Zixuan, an investor, I really can't find any faults. Never interfere with the company's specific operations, and even the board of directors does not participate. Send a representative at most to deal with it; but when you need money, when you increase capital and shares, the caller will prepare the money and never delay.

The most important thing is that Heiyun Group has developed new software, as long as Microsoft has demand; it is always licensed at a low price, and there is really no fault in terms of support. Just ask where such investors can be found; at least Bill Gates, who has been running the company for ten years, has never heard of it.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Bill; congratulations, although I am a shareholder, you are all running the company. Finally being able to go public, it can be said that it has helped us make a lot of money; as a shareholder, we must not be stingy."

"The four of you are the core figures of the company, so I should express it." After that, he handed over 4 keys, and then said, "There are 4 Ferrari sports cars parked downstairs, which is a gift from me."

There are two people here, but when they saw Bao Zixuan for the first time, they were able to receive a gift; and it was a Ferrari sports car that men dreamed of, so it was too generous!

Bill Gates was not too surprised, he knew it before he came. And he was also consulted before choosing a Ferrari sports car.

Bill Gates said with a smile: "Steve, Charles; I've said it all and it will definitely surprise you. Before you were a little worried about the company's stock price, and now it's coming to the United States, it should be the turn of the Wall Street people to have a headache. "

The name of the richest man in Hong Kong Bao can be said to be well-known all over the world. If even he can't handle it, it is estimated that a few young people will be more in vain.

Bill Gates continued: "Let me introduce you, Paul Allen, you already know, this is Steve Ballmer, our vice president of the company; this is Charles Simone, the head of technology. "

Hearing these two names, Bao Zixuan really didn't know what to say. They are all future superheroes, one is the top ten super-rich in the world, and the other is one of the greatest programmers in history.

Steve Ballmer, born on March 24, 1956; Ballmer joined Microsoft in 1980 and served successively as Executive Vice President of Microsoft Sales Support and President of Microsoft Corporation. He was the first business manager hired by Bill Gates. Ballmer grew up in Detroit. He graduated from Harvard University with a BA in Mathematics and Economics. Ballmer's father is Swiss and his mother is Russian Jewish. His father, Fred Ballmer, who came to the United States from Switzerland after World War II, was an interpreter for the war criminals court presiding judge, then a bookkeeper at General Motors, and finally an accountant at Ford Motor Company.

In 1974, 18-year-old Ballmer met Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and the richest man in the world, when he was a sophomore at Harvard. In 1980, on the Stanford campus, Bill Gates approached Ballmer and persuaded Ballmer to join Microsoft, which was still in incubation.

As for the reason why the later Steve Ballmer is more famous, not only because he is the former CEO of Microsoft; more importantly, he bought the Los Angeles Clippers. This is a team that is in the same city as the Purple and Gold Dynasty, sharing a stadium and has no sense of existence.

His financial resources are talked about in the NBA, with an offer of 2 billion US dollars; the one-time payment, without any loans, shows his arrogance.

Charles Simone, born in Budapest, Hungary, formerly known as Simone Caroly, is an expert in software development and the inventor of Hungarian nomenclature. Director of Product Development at Microsoft Corporation and one of the early core staff of Microsoft.

Most genius programmers are very smart but introverted in their childhood. They are not interested in the rules of the adult world, but live in their own small closed world, accompanied by science and technology. Simonyi's childhood was a little different. Simeone spent his childhood in Budapest, Hungary in the late 1950s, where his father was a professor of electrical engineering. My father has always encouraged Simeone to have the courage to express his views and communicate with others. The father of an electrical engineering professor; has always believed that solving problems is an integral part of personal growth. This view had a great influence on Simonyi's growth, because the main job of computer programming is to solve problems.

Simeone has been exposed to computers and programming in high school, thanks to his father's teaching status. This kid got the opportunity to be an assistant to a computer engineer, knowing that there were only five computers in Hungary at that time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Simone completed his first program and his first professional program at the high school level. The first program Simeone wrote was to fill in the magic square so that the sum of the numbers in each row, column and diagonal equals. And his first professional program was a compiler for a very simple, FORTRAN-like high-level language. Simeone sold the compiler as an innovation to the government for a large sum of money; but he didn't spend a cent, as he left Hungary shortly after.

After high school, at a trade fair in Budapest, Simeone met several Danes working in computers. After getting to know their company's new machine well enough, Simonyi asked one of them to bring to Denmark a small program he had written to show their supervisors, which gave accurate feedback on which part of a long expression the machine was analyzing at any given moment. The company executive liked the program and offered Simone a job. Simeone just left Hungary.

After a year and a half of programming in Denmark, Simeone used his salary, plus a bonus from the government, to study at the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in engineering mathematics. During school, Simone entered the Berkeley Computer Center as a programmer, and the income was used to pay for tuition.

In November 1980, Simone had an in-depth discussion with Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. Gates, though very young at the time, had a visionary view of computers. After talking with them for only 5 minutes, Simeone decided to work at Microsoft.

It is said that when this kid left Hungary, but he hurt his father enough, he is definitely a master of pit fathers. You must know that Hungary is a Warsaw Pact country, while Denmark is an out-and-out Western developed country. UUkanshu dared to do this during the Cold War, and it was still blatantly in the past; it seems that there is really no one other than him.

Moreover, this kid will also invest in a private capacity in the future and go to space twice; it can be seen that the genius brain circuit is indeed different from others.

Bill Gates continued: "Mr. Bao Zixuan is also a major shareholder of our Microsoft. You have been in the company for six years and you have never met one of the board members."

Everyone is young, the oldest Charles Simeone is only 37 years old; Paul Allen is 33 years old, Bill Gates is 31 years old; Steve Ballmer is 30 years old, and the richest man is only 28 years old. Moreover, they all have prestigious school backgrounds, so it can be said that communication is very convenient.

After Bao Zixuan shook hands with the two, he said with a smile, "I am a hands-off shopkeeper, and my time and energy are relatively limited. Therefore, the future development of Microsoft requires your continued efforts."

"This time I went to Italy and just bought a Ferrari sports car. I thought about coming here to congratulate you and give me some gifts. Bill said that everyone likes to drive, so please don't be polite. As long as you wait until Microsoft goes public and find that you buy something, it will become a Simple as that."

Hearing Bao Zixuan say this, everyone laughed.
