Chapter 1914： Gambling agreement

The latest chapter of the strongest rebirth in life

The boy naturally understood Bill Gates's mind.

Some people, don't look at him for being kind-hearted, or honest, just subconsciously think he is a good person.

Actually not at all.

For example, the Wang **** who had assassinated the Qing prince, the eye-catching eyes, and the appearance of appearance, were also attracted by Japan. Did they shamefully become a sinner of the people?

Of course Bill Gates will not compare with Wang xx, but his killing in the business is decisive, but Yin Jun knows deeply.

Any person or company that has reached the summit cannot be smooth sailing, and all can be achieved by proper means.

Even Yin Jun like this, the people who come back from time to time will sometimes use some means to ensure the achievement of the goal.

Bill Gates is even more so.

Microsoft's dominance in the computer industry, I do not know how many small and medium companies have accumulated the corpses.

Merely saying that there was a few death knots between them and Apple, Joe gang clamored more than once, "I will use all my efforts to destroy them! The stolen things should be destroyed!"

But why didn't Joe Gang mention Apple after he took charge of Apple for the second time and brought Apple to the peak that Microsoft didn't reach?

It's very simple.

When Apple was most in danger, Bill Gates said nothing, and borrowed a large sum of money to Joe ’s helper to get him through.

After taking someone else's help, why can't I turn my head away?

So Joe can only do it in a daunting way.

From here you can also see Bill Gates's means.

A stubborn life-and-death enemy was so frustrated by him that he was not able to get angry, which is not what ordinary people can do.

In today's environment, Bill Gates maintains the overall interest of Microsoft, so he must be careful and not let Yin Jun get cheap.

Even if he knows clearly, the value of office is definitely far more than 300 million US dollars, but he still relies on Microsoft's Windows operating system, is the best platform for office, so as to lower prices.

In fact, Bill Gates is a little bit stern now.

He does n’t know how Microsoft ’s operating system will be invincible in the future. Otherwise, he will directly set the price of 100 million US dollars. All right.

Of course, there is also the factor that Yin Jun is the largest shareholder of Microsoft, and Yin Jun has the second largest computer company in the world. Otherwise, Bill Gates might see such a huge benefit. As he did in the future, to imitate office software.

The current Windows system has caused great repercussions around the world, but because its functions have not yet entered the era of the integration of win95, and then there are not so many computer users around the world, so even Bill Gates ca n’t be sure. Where can we go?

What he has to do now is to do everything he can to make the Windows system occupy as much market share as possible, and promote the computer.

Want to promote. Computer, can it still bypass the Kirin computer?

If Yin Jun was irritated, he went directly to cooperate with Apple and installed it with Apple's operating system, which was a huge blow to Microsoft!

The above points are the reasons why Bill Gates can tolerate and open 8% of Microsoft shares.

Only when Yin Jun is further tied to Microsoft's warship can Microsoft continue to make great strides until it succeeds.

But with the addition of 2% of the shares, Yin Jun has to own 55% of the shares, which is really a terrible share.

If possible, he would of course refuse such a shareholding situation, even if he knew that when the listed shares were diluted, Yin Jun took out the shares, then Yin Jun ’s shares would naturally become much smaller.

Yin Jun naturally understands Bill Gates's scruples and thoughts.

So for a few minutes of silence, he asked in harmony: "If it was Bill you came to bet, what conditions would you mention?"

"It can't be calculated based on 20 million sets, it should be based on sales." Bill Gates murmured, "10 billion dollars, in a year and a half!"

"Mr. Gates, you are a bit harsh." After listening to Kolotti for a long time, he couldn't help but interjected. "As far as I know, the best-selling office is the most common basic version of $ 99. The 399 and 599 US dollars account for less than 10% of the share, and looking at this posture, the standard and professional versions are not likely to sell.

Now only 19 months from the end of 1986, how can the sales target of 10 billion US dollars be achieved? Moreover, if you can sell 10 billion US dollars, the profit of the office will be much higher than 300 million US dollars, and also higher than Microsoft's 10% stake. Why does Jun Shao need to sell this software to Microsoft? "

Such sharp words are really not suitable for Yin Jun to say.

Bill Gates did n’t blush and nodded. "Because Microsoft is also Jun's company, and the best platform for office is our Windows system! And after selling it to us, the money the office makes is not handsome. A large part? 54% of the shares, but can pay a lot of dividends! "

"It's time to talk about the listing, and Jun Shao is lucky to retain 30% of the shares." Koloti is worthy of Goldman Sachs' elite and immediately caught another weakness.

Being caught catching nonsense, Bill Gates didn't even change his face.

He nodded and said, "But even so, Jun is also Microsoft's largest shareholder. Many of our interests belong to him, and he does not suffer."

Looking at Bill Gates is a little messy, Yin Jun is also a little funny, "Bill, the $ 10 billion in sales is definitely a bargain, let ’s be honest! You know I ’m not a stingy person, nor a bargain. , I will give me a psychological price point ... 5 billion US dollars in sales, you agree that we will bet on it, otherwise she will put aside this acquisition for the time being! "

"Deal!"

Bill Gates agreed without thinking.

Not only Yin Jun, but Koloti was stunned.

This kid is really good!

Without being so thick-skinned, it can still be transformed into such a roundness in awkwardness and sky-high asking prices. Where is it like a young man in his twenties?

In the hands of such people, Microsoft will really carry forward!

Koloti couldn't help but give Bill Gates a lot of extra points, and he was more attentive to his cooperation with Microsoft.

The $ 5 billion in sales, evenly spread over 19 months, would cost almost $ 250 million per month.

Based on the current sales situation of the office, it is about 800,000 copies a month, but it is only about 90 million US dollars, and 100 million has not arrived.

It is really difficult to complete this condition of gambling!

But Kolotti couldn't control that much. After all, he wasn't a specialized technician or a marketer. Of course, he didn't know how to achieve sales.

But Koloti also believed that Yin Jun had a way to achieve his goal, because this genius could never fight unsure battles.

After thinking too much, Kolotti said to Bill Gates again, "Mr. Gates, I confirm. Regarding this game of gambling, can you be sure that Mr. Paul Allen will agree?"

"He has fully entrusted me to deal with this matter, no problem." Bill Gates nodded and replied.

"Then the 10% of the shares will be transferred to Jun Shao at the same time the agreement is signed?" Kolotti continued to ask, "When the gambling is unsuccessful, he will return the shares to January 1987. Do the three shareholders, including himself, have meaningful differences? "

"It's clear, that's how the specific gambling agreement is written." Bill Gates said cheerfully.

"it is good!"

Kolotti said, "In a few days, I have made an agreement on gambling and let you sign ... Mr. Paul Allen, has he been officially commissioned?"

Bill Gates also nodded, "Including this listing, I will handle it."

It can be seen that Paul Allen really trusts his friend, and he takes care of all the shares.

But the past life seems to be the same.

When Microsoft went public, Paul Allen was still fighting the disease. Where did he have the energy to pay attention to such a cumbersome listing process?

So he simply delegated to Bill Gates.

And Bill Gates did not live up to his trust, did things beautifully, and then created two super rich individuals worth more than 30 billion US dollars.

It's just that the two of them certainly didn't know at that time, would Microsoft's shares be so valuable?

It's just that Yin Jun also understands that although Bill Gates is very ruthless when dealing with business competitors, he still treats his friends very well.

Even if he knew that Microsoft shares would be worthless in the future, he would not be able to do such shameful things that swallowed friends' shares.

Otherwise, Buffett, a clever old fox, will not be a good friend with Bill Gates.

Whether or not to be a good friend is still very important.

Buffett is very accurate.

Yin Jun suddenly remembered a funny thing at this moment.

After Bill Gates went public at Microsoft, he has continuously reduced the Microsoft stock in his hands for 30 years.

In the end he only left 1% of the shares, but he is also Microsoft's largest individual shareholder.

The money he obtained through these reductions ~ www.novelhall.com ~ was handed over to his confidant to invest, and in the end he created his assets of nearly 100 billion US dollars. He has been the richest person in the world for many consecutive years and has never dropped to the top three. Outside the first name.

But things are funny but in another place.

If Bill Gates has not reduced his share of Microsoft's stock, based on his 45% stake when Microsoft went public, Microsoft reached a market value of 800 billion U.S. dollars in 2018, that is 360 billion U.S. dollars!

Look!

If you do n’t toss about it, then keep Microsoft, Bill Gates will have more than 260 billion US dollars in assets.

Basically, as long as he remains, the richest man in the world will always be his!

After so much tossing down, the assets have become less. I wonder if Bill Gates feels uncomfortable when he dreams back at midnight?
