v3 Chapter 783： Bill Gates refused? (1/2)
”Paul Allen? I have heard of you. You are a talented engineer. I am glad to meet you. We come from a capital company. My name is Xia Yu. They are my subordinates.”
Xia Yu stopped his subordinates from coming forward, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said to Paul Allen with a smile on his face.
For Paul Allen, Xia Yu is very clear. As the co-founder of Microsoft, the later Paul Allen has more than 20 billion US dollars in assets, but because he failed to fight the disease, he finally left all his assets to His sister.
In the previous life, Microsoft was branded with Bill Gates. For Paul Allen, the public did not know much about him, at best he was the co-founder of Microsoft.
But as everyone knows, if Paul Allen hadn't urged Bill Gates to drop out, Microsoft might have appeared, but it would definitely not be the previous Microsoft.
And in Microsoft, Paul Allen is more talented than Bill Gates. In terms of technology, it is mainly Paul Allen, who is also a teacher and friend of Bill Gates.
It can be said that Paul Allen is to Microsoft what Steve Wozniak is to Apple.
Both are the true behind-the-scenes heroes of the company's technical foundation, but the limelight was almost stolen by Jobs and Bill Gates, who were standing in the foreground in charge of business affairs.
So for Microsoft at this time, Xia Yu valued Paul Allen more than the world's richest man.
Without Paul Allen, there would be no achievements of Microsoft. Without him, there would be no future Microsoft DOS system. After all, Paul Allen found this system and bought it.
”Capital company?”
Although Xia Yu didn't mention the company name, the four words capital company alone made Paul Allen feel excited and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
As a software company, he aspires to be valued by capital, and then uses the power of capital to accelerate the company's rise.
However, Microsoft has been in development for five years, and no capital company has come to the door before.
One suddenly appeared, could it be...
Fortunately, Paul Allen was able to distinguish the present occasion. He interrupted the infinite reverie in his mind and immediately welcomed Xia Yu and others into the meeting room with enthusiasm. When he used the excuse to take the cup, he immediately informed the studio. Bill Gates.
Therefore, less than a minute after Xia Yu sat down, he saw the 24-year-old Bill Gates come in with Paul Allen, greeted Xia Yu and others with enthusiasm and confidence.
”Hello, Mr. Xia, welcome to you, I am Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft Corporation.”
”Hello, Mr. Gates.”
After all, Bill Gates is the child of a lawyer and a business elite. He was born much taller than Paul Allen, and he has also seen the world. Although he is three years younger than Paul Allen, and his technical ability is not as good as Paul Allen.
But in terms of business communication, he is much better than Paul Allen.
So after chatting for a while, Bill Gates smiled and asked Xia Yu: ”Mr. Xia, may I ask if you come to our company, is there anything wrong?”
Xia Yu glanced at him, smiled and nodded and said, ”Don't worry about this. Before that, can you tell us about your company?”
”Of course it’s okay. Why don’t we go after this cup of coffee? Let’s talk about something else first?” Although Bill Gates was looking forward to it, he was able to remain calm, knowing that the more critical the time, the less he can lose his stance, so as not to fall behind. Suffering, so he glanced at the coffee just served on the table and asked with a smile.
Xia Yu couldn't help but glanced at him high, with a slight smile on his face, and slightly nodded and said, ”Yes, I also want to learn about your company's past.”
”Okay, then I will start with the establishment of the company. What do you think?”
”Of course, please!”
