Chapter 24 The four giants of Microsoft gather together

Li Zetian's vacation is coming soon, and Xiao Zhixuan urges him to return to Harvard University in the United States.

So, on March 26, Li Zetian took a plane to Boston Airport in the United States. As for the manuscript "Zhu Xian", Li Zetian plans to publish it directly from the "Times Literature Publishing House" after writing it in the United States. The pen name Mr.li itself is already quite famous in Taiwan. If I publish a book directly, I believe many people will be willing to buy it. If it is serialized in a newspaper or magazine, most readers will not be willing to spend money to buy the book again after reading it once.

After returning to school, Li Zetian immediately called Yu Jingqiu and told her that he had returned to school. In fact, Li Zetian called Yu Jingqiu every night in Taiwan and talked on the phone. However, it doesn't take long, about 10 minutes. A lot of time is still spent writing books. In addition, Yu Jingqiu also has a lot of homework to do.

Harvard University Library has many inspirational quotes.

“Without hardship, there is nothing gained.”

"If you take a nap now, you will dream; if you study now, you will realize your dream."

Students at Harvard University only have fun, but they still work very hard when studying. No one can succeed casually. Both Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu are working hard for their future. You know, if you don’t learn, you don’t make progress, and at this moment, your future competitors may be turning the pages of their books...

In the dormitory.

Bill Gates introduced a friend to Li Zetian named Paul Allen.

Li Zetian is actually no stranger to this person. Paul Allen is the co-founder of Microsoft, and his computer skills are not inferior to Bill Gates at all. He and Bill Gates are two well-known computer prodigies in Seattle. They are both students at Lakeside Middle School. However, Paul Allen is older, in the senior grade, and Bill Gates is in the lower grade. In the previous life, there was not even a prototype of the Altair 8800 microcomputer. With only an Intel-8080 processor manual, Paul Allen used the PDP-10 computer produced by DEC to imitate the Intel-8080 integrated block to develop the BASIC language. It was almost impossible for those engineers to do it, but Allen accepted the challenge. Eight weeks later, a set of BASIC language was successfully developed. Since then, the Altair 8800 microcomputer has its own programming language. Microsoft began to make its debut, crushing all the way and becoming a nightmare for countless software companies!

Li Zetian knew that before the establishment of Microsoft, Paul Allen had repeatedly persuaded Bill Gates to drop out of Harvard University and start a business with him. I guess this time he came to persuade Bill Gates to drop out of school and start a business with him! Moreover, according to Li Zetian's understanding, Paul Allen specifically dropped out of HSD State University and came to Boston in order to persuade Bill Gates to drop out of school and start a business with him. He was looking for a job near Boston temporarily while lobbying Bill Gates.

Uh... to persuade people to drop out of school to such an extent, it has to be admired! ! !

Li Zetian stared at Paul Allen. While sizing him up, he said secretly in his heart, "I should leave it to me to persuade Bill Gates to drop out of school. As for you, don't always think about what you want." Start a business and follow me from now on!!!"

At this time, Bill Gates pointed to Paul Allen and Li Zetian successively and introduced: "Hi, Chronos, this is my friend-Paul Allen, he is also a master of computer programming! Paul, this is This is Chronos.Lee, the super genius I often mentioned to you on the phone!!!”

"Hello, Paul!" Li Zetian showed a very friendly smile and extended his hand to say hello. After all, Paul Allen is likely to be one of his generals in the future, so he naturally has to leave a good impression on him.

"Hello, Chronos, I've known you for a long time. I heard that your programming skills are even better than Bill's. I'm really impressed!" Paul Allen shook hands with Li Zetian and said slightly excitedly. Bill Gates has never convinced him, because although Bill Gates is younger than him, he is better than him in many aspects. However, such a proud man is very convinced by this international student from China. This is unacceptable. Don't let Paul Allen look at Li Zetian with admiration.

Li Zetian smiled and did not say any modest words such as "you are welcome". His strength was there and he deserved his praise. In addition, Americans are straightforward. If you are too humble, they will think you are hypocritical.

Since the three of them are all experts in computer programming, they have similar interests and can chat easily.

While chatting, Paul Allen not only persuaded Bill Gates to drop out of school, but even persuaded Li Zetian to drop out of school!

Li Zetian couldn't laugh or cry. Is Paul Allen a maniac who persuades people to drop out of school? !

"Chronos, don't you think computers are developing very rapidly? Five years ago, there were only a handful of companies and schools using computers, but now, many schools and businesses across the United States have started to use computers!"

"Well, it is indeed developing very quickly!"

"With the popularization of computers, I believe that commercial software will have great development potential in the future! Chronos, have you ever thought about dropping out of school and starting a business?!"

Li Zetian is also preparing to drop out of school, but this moment is not the best time to agree to Alan Paul. If Li Zetian agrees to drop out of school now and start a business with him, then, as the co-founder of the company, Li Zetian’s shareholding in the company You can't do much more than the other party. This is very unreasonable, and it is impossible for the other party to agree. As a person who traveled from the future, Li Zetian is very ambitious. First of all, the company must be his own. Bill Gates and Paul Allen can own part of the shares, but their combined total must not exceed 40%. In the future, there will be financing and listing. If Li Zetian holds too few shares, he will not be able to control Microsoft!

Therefore, the only way is for Li Zetian to first establish Microsoft and achieve some success, then invite them to join Microsoft and give them a share of the shares.

Li Zetian then threw the ball to Bill Gates: "Bill, are you going to drop out of school?"

At this moment, Bill Gates is just an ordinary Harvard student, and no one can imagine what he will be like in the future. For Bill Gates, his father is a famous lawyer. Lawyers are very rich and prestigious in the United States. Therefore, Bill Gates’ dream is to inherit his father’s career and become a lawyer, so he became Harvard law student. A diploma from Harvard University is still very important to him. In addition, Bill Gates’ parents firmly disagreed with him dropping out of school. Therefore, despite Paul Allen's repeated persuasion, Bill Gates was still unable to sway him. Until the emergence of the Altair-8800 microcomputer, Bill Gates saw a promising business opportunity, so he resolutely dropped out of school to start a business!

As Li Zetian expected, Bill Gates shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Paul, I have to think about it..."

Paul Allen sighed in frustration, but he was not discouraged.

At this time, the door to the dormitory opened and Steve Ballmer walked in.

"Who is this?" Steve Ballmer asked.

Paul Allen stood up and introduced himself: "My name is Paul Allen, nice to meet you! You are Steve Ballmer, I heard Bill Gates talking about you."

"Yes, I'm Steve Ballmer, nice to meet you!"

The two shook hands, let go, and then walked to the sofa and sat down together.

Li Zetian looked around. Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Steve Ballmer, Damn, the three giants of Microsoft were all here. No, if you count yourself, it should be the four giants...

(Tomorrow is Monday, a new week, a new beginning. I’m rolling around asking for support. There used to be a QQ book club: 424930141. The number of people is not full yet, you can join)
