Looking at the young Bill in front of him, Qin Yu was greatly shocked.
Wasn't this the future richest man in the world?
At this time, he was approaching me with a shifty look and even asked me about a foreigner. This guy is now in New York looking for a partnership with iPhone?
That's right, the young man wearing black-rimmed glasses in front of him was the future world's richest man, Bill Gates!
Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded the company in 1975, but the company didn't develop well in the first few years.
That was until they came into contact with the company, which adopted the operating system of the company as the PC standard in 1980. From then on, the company skyrocketed.
In 1999, the company's market cap was 661.6 billion US dollars, which was the highest market cap in human history!
Gates relied on his 45% stake in the company to dominate the rankings of the magazine.
And now, the world's richest man was sneakily approaching him to inquire about other people's privacy. This was a little interesting!
Qin Yu sat on the chair and said with a smile,"
"My name is Qin Yu, Bill. It seems to be illegal to casually reveal other people's privacy in Beautiful Country.”
" Uh, Qin, we're actually here to seek cooperation. Don't misunderstand…"
Bill looked embarrassed after hearing this. This kid was still a science guy. He had been in business for a few years and had not become a wily old fox.
If it was Qin Yu who was asking for information, he would have flattered the other party until he was dizzy.
Seeing the other party like this, Qin Yu was no longer in the mood to tease him. He said directly,
"Bill, I think the head of the iPhone you mentioned might have gone out last night. Because the latest report on the coup in iran was from the BBC, many guests in the hotel left in a hurry.”
Hearing this, his eyes lit up and he said,
"Qin, thank you. To be honest, we're really here to collaborate with the company. This is my classmate, Paul. We just moved to Redmond, Washington not long ago.”
" We had no choice but to wait at the hotel. We have to find a capable partner…"
Perhaps because he had a good impression of Qin Yu, Bill Gates told him about the recent situation at the company.
It could be said that in the future, it would be awesome. It would punch down on motorola, kick down on ibat, and even if apple came, it would have to take two slaps before leaving.
But now, it was still hard on Microsoft.Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard on a whim and pulled a few good guys to work on the PC operating system.
Since the founding of the company in 1975, the technology had indeed improved, but there was still a long way to go before it became bigger and stronger.
The brothers realized that it wouldn't work. If they continued to do this, they would go bankrupt, so Bill Gates and Paul came to wait for the head of iPhone.
Qin Yu's heart stirred after hearing that.
At this time, the company was still in its infancy, and it hadn't even found an important partner like iPhone yet. What if he invested in the company now?
Before Apple released the iPhone, Microsofthad always been the king of the Internet.
Especially after the development of the Windows operating system and the Office series of software, Bill Gates simply lay at home and harvested the world.
As long as someone used the computer, they had to pay him.
It could be said that the early monopoly of the Internet was dominated by the operating system.
If he invested now, he could get a thousand-fold return in the future. He definitely couldn't miss this opportunity!
"Bill, do you mean that the company is still short of technical funds?”
Although Qin Yu didn't have any US dollars on him now, it didn't stop him from fooling Bill first. After all, the company was a cash cow!
When he heard Qin Yu's investment, Bill Gates 'eyes lit up.
Damn, could it be that this guy was fooled by my brainwashing technique?
It would be great to invest in Microsoftat this time.
It seemed that he was not a bad founder. He could still fool the investors!
"Qin, are you sure you want to invest in the company? To be honest, the company is actually very promising. The company's current valuation is about 20 million US dollars. How much can you invest?”
Bill Gates tried to quote a high price to the other party. He thought that if Qin Yu rejected him, he would immediately lower the price.
Qin Yu couldn't help but frown when he heard the price of 20 million USD.
At this time, before the official collaboration between Intel and Intel, a valuation of 10 million USD was already hard to come by. This kid was treating him like a fool!
However, investing in the company couldn't just be based on the current situation. One had to consider the future appreciation of the company.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu nodded and said,"
"I can agree to a valuation of 20 million USD, but I want more than 45% of the shares!”
Since the other party wanted to bid a high price, Qin Yu wanted to get more shares of Microsoft.This way, he could earn more when the value rose.
But Bill Gates shook his head and said,"
"No, Qin, you have too much of a 45% share. It will affect the normal development of the company in the future.”
"I'll give you at most 20% of the shares. If we continue to raise funds in the future, your shares will be further diluted.”
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
Bill Gates was very calm when he reported this number, as if he had already planned the share distribution in his heart.
If he insisted on holding 45% of the shares, the talks might collapse.
This was because this guy's background was not ordinary. His mother was a senior executive at iPhone, so it should not be too difficult for him to attract investors.
"I'll invest 5 million USD from the Zhongyu Financial Group and take 25% of the shares in the company!”
"Also, Bill, I can give you the management rights, management rights, and even voting rights of the company. Zhongyu Financial Group will only be a shareholder of the company, and I promise to continue investing in the company.”
Qin Yu's condition was very generous. It was equivalent to only holding control rights and not management rights, just like how Wall Street would control the Samsung Group in the future.
Although 25% of the shares were taken by the Zhongyu Consortium, Bill Gates was still the only person in charge of the company!
However, Bill Gates could not help but frown after hearing this.
Allowing Zhongyu Financial Group to hold 25% was still a bit too much for him…
