v3 Chapter 783： Bill Gates refused? (2/2)
As soon as Xia Yu's voice fell, Bill Gates smiled slightly and began to tell about the past of Microsoft. He thought of interesting things in the middle, and he sang a peace with Paul Allen, using humorous words to tell the past of Microsoft. come out.
At this time, Microsoft has not yet transformed, it is just a small company, and the benefits are not too great. The relationship between Bill Gates and Paul Allen is still very harmonious.
Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Xia Yu felt a strange feeling in his heart, especially when he saw Bill Gates’s seemingly sincere appearance and Paul Allen’s straightforward character, he couldn’t help but feel that Paul Ai Lun lamented.
Bill Gates, who grew up in a family of business and legal elites, naturally values his interests more than Paul Allen.
Obviously, in the early days of Microsoft, Paul Allen paid more than Bill Gates, but when the equity was formally divided later, Bill Gates took up 60% of the equity, and even Bill Gates made progress. Several times, I wanted to redistribute the equity or dilute Paul Allen’s equity by issuing additional shares.
An engineer is an engineer, and there are shortcomings in calculations and gains and losses.
Before I knew it, the coffee was almost finished. Bill Gates and Paul Allen also introduced the basic situation of Microsoft. Xia Yu proposed to take a closer look at the specific business level of Microsoft.
Later, Bill Gates and Paul Allen took Xia Yu to stroll around Microsoft, focusing on the studio. Paul Allen introduced Xia Yu and others to Microsoft’s BASIC interpretation Achievements on the device.
Throughout the process, Xia Yu kept smiling and communicated with Paul Allen from time to time. After many technical terms came out of Xia Yu’s mouth, Paul Allen and Bill Gates’ expressions changed and they realized that Xia Yu Yu is also a professional, and they can't deceive him, so they are more cautious in introducing them, and dare not make false introductions, so as not to be embarrassed by being exposed.
After walking around, Xia Yu had a comprehensive understanding of Microsoft at that time.
There is no doubt that Microsoft at this time is indeed a small software company with a total of only more than 20 employees.
The only thing that can be obtained is the achievement in the field of BASIC interpreter.
When everyone returned to the office again, Xia Yu looked at Bill Gates and Paul Allen with a little expectation and anxiety in his eyes. He secretly smiled. As expected, they were only two young people, one was only twenty-seven years old and the other. At only twenty-four years old, no matter how pretending to be calm, when the critical moment comes, he still inevitably reveals his true thoughts.
Xia Yu didn't plan to drag them with them either. He looked straight and said straightforwardly: ”Mr. Allen, Mr. Gates, I have learned about Microsoft just now, and now we should have a formal talk.”
Paul Allen looked solemnly ~ nodded and said, ”Yes, Mr. Xia, please speak!”
Xia Yu glanced over the two faces, and slowly said: ”Microsoft has a certain value, because you have made some achievements in the BASIC interpreter market, but the value is also limited. After all, the BASIC interpreter market The capacity has been fixed there, and the ceiling of the market determines the growth limit of your company's business today.”
Bill Gates and Paul Allen were so heartbroken, but they had to acquiesce that what Xia Yu said was the truth.
Now Xia Yu said so, nothing more than lowering prices.
Just listen to Xia Yu continuing: ”But during the visit just now, I saw something different, that is, your attitude towards technology. There is no doubt that you are outstanding technical elites, so compared to Microsoft’s BASIC For the achievements of the interpreter market, I value your technical talents more.”
”So I decided to wholly acquire Microsoft.”
As soon as this statement came out, Bill Gates and Paul Allen immediately changed color, and Bill Gates seemed to almost veto them.
Xia Yu raised the volume and said again: ”But I will inject capital into the company and take out 20% of the options. Based on your contribution to the company, I will reward you in the future. I believe that with your two abilities, Can get a lot of equity.”
Bill Gates and Paul Allen looked at each other, Bill Gates looked determined, Paul Allen pondered for a moment, and slightly nodded back.
Then Bill Gates resolutely said to Xia Yu: ”I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, Microsoft carries our dream. We will not sell it, we only accept venture capital.”
