Chapter 495 I don't want money, just shares!
Tsinghua...Microsoft...
dos...indos...
Upstairs in the cafeteria of Yale University's Berkeley College, in a small restaurant called "sissroo", Carter sat here, tapping his fingers on the table, imagining and perfecting his ideas over and over in his mind.
Originally, Carter planned to arrange a meeting with everyone from Microsoft in New York. He would arrange a high-end venue, flex his muscles, shock Gates, build up psychological pressure on him, and create a psychological implication that Gates was weaker than Carter.
In order to obtain greater benefits in subsequent negotiations.
But after thinking about it, Carter gave up the idea.
Indeed, Microsoft's cash flow may not be huge at this time, but it can already be called healthy! In addition, Gates's family background is not bad, and he can't bring psychological pressure to the other party in a leisurely place. On the contrary, it is easy to be self-defeating, which seems
It seems that you are strong on the outside but hard on the inside, which is not beautiful.
"Then why not go to the Swiss House? It's right on campus, not to mention, and our invitation-only private restaurant at Yale, if the person is from Harvard, they will definitely understand what it means. It's not a big deal to enter here.
Just looking at the money..."
"Harvard has the group of people you mentioned who may achieve great success in the future, and we at Yale are not bad either! People who are invited to come here are usually people who are highly favored by certain groups, not to mention you directly
Book this place to invite your own guests..."
"Well... the idea is great, but will Berkeley College lend me the venue?"
"Hahaha, you can rest assured. Your Carter's face...forget it, try it yourself! Really, believe me, they will definitely borrow it! You don't even know how much you can do now!
"
After the conversation with Rick two days ago, today's scene happened...
The wooden floor imported from Switzerland sounded awesome. But when Carter looked at it, he saw that it was actually adult pine, and pine, a specialty of Georgia, had long been common for Carter. It was the colored windows of the cabin that made Carter
Pay more attention.
The stained glass designed by Irving Burnavit is exactly the same as that used in the Sterling Memorial Library at Berkeley College, which has a collection of more than 4 million volumes. To put it mildly, it is called class! At worst... Carter has a reason
I suspect that when the Swiss House was being built, scraps from the Sterling Library were picked up...
No matter what, the fifty-year-old private restaurant has a simple and elegant smell, which is still very pungent. It was so pungent that the Microsoft people who entered the Swiss House hesitated in their steps.
Rich and wealthy, at most they think they have a rich side, but noble...
"Long time no see! My friends, please take a seat! Just treat it as your own home! Yale, you should be familiar with it too... Oh, Mr. Gates... you..."
“I’ve been to Yale!”
Staring at Carter angrily, young Bill Gates looked a little embarrassed.
What the hell, isn’t it just to drop out of school and start a career?! Why, you can’t get through this, right?!
"Before I drop out of school!"
Pulling up a chair directly opposite Carter, Gates sat down unceremoniously. Paul and the others took their seats on both sides of the long table...
Closeness and distance can be seen at a glance...
"Hahaha, that's good! I was worried just now that the restaurant I chose was not to your liking~"
Carter raised his hand and patted the rattle beside him. After a while, the meals prepared in advance were delivered one by one by the part-time waiter...
"Carter! You're such a good boy! It's hard for others to come in and have a meal here, but they can actually give it to you!
"
When the waiter finished serving the food, Steve Ballmer, a graduate of Harvard University, was so excited that he was no longer interested in tasting the food. He looked at Carter and shouted exaggeratedly.
The Russian-born's uniquely large physique made Ballmer's movements seem a bit perverse. This made Gates a little unhappy and secretly muttered "nouveau riche"...
"Haha, he has always been awesome! To be honest, I won't be surprised if he invites us to the Plaza Hotel for dinner one day..."
"Plaza Hotel? Then where are we? If you ask me, it should be on the deck of some yacht, blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun..."
"Hahaha, it's all there. Not only me, but you too will be able to do it sooner or later!"
Listening to everyone's compliments, Carter smiled lightly. It didn't make people feel arrogant, but compared to the previous slapstick, laughing and joking, it seemed a little distant...
This sense of distance was deliberately created by Carter. Just to establish his strong position in the upcoming business negotiations...
As the meal progressed, the relationship between the two parties became more and more harmonious. Except for Gates, who was almost silent throughout the meal, the others talked a lot about each other's work and life in recent times.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Carter turned the topic back to the copyright issue of dos...
"Paul, Bill! I believe you all know the purpose of calling you here this time, the copyright of dos!"
After lighting a cigarette and taking a slow puff, Carter placed the cigarette with wisps of green smoke on the edge of the wooden ashtray at hand...
"We are not strangers anymore. Too much nonsense and temptation is meaningless in my opinion. I will tell you directly, I will sell it to you, but I don't want money, I just want shares!"
After saying this, Carter's calm eyes turned to Gates and Allen, good friends. In their calm eyes, both Gates and Allen felt a sense of scrutiny.
To use the description of "Long Aotian", it is the so-called power of the superior against the inferior. Logically speaking, it is the crushing of the weak by the strong side...
Carter holds the key to the full copyright of DOS, and this thing is the core component of Microsoft's largest and most important business. Once Carter wants to use DOS to make trouble, he doesn't even need to go to court to actually judge it, he just has to go to court...
.
Due to legal risks and goodwill risks, IBM will have a high probability of canceling its cooperation with Microsoft. At the very least, it will reduce cooperation on subsequent IBMXT, AT and other models. After all, IBM will also be worried.
When you didn't understand the ownership and copyright of ms-dos, we increased our cooperation and produced results, but the results were unusable...
Isn’t that a joke?!
This, of course, is a lose-lose situation for Carter. His investment in Microsoft will suffer losses, and he will also have to pay the time and economic costs of litigation. For IBM, this is not good news either...
But everyone knows that if you do this, Carter and IBM may not be happy, and they will also suffer losses. But they will only suffer losses, and Microsoft will most likely collapse because of this!
This is like a sword of Damocles hanging in the hearts of Gates and Allen. Faced with Carter's direct discussion of shares, the two looked at each other for a moment...
This is not dinner gossip. If Carter asked for shares at the dinner, Gates would definitely curse. At worst, he would say it was dinner banter and think Carter was joking.
But Carter chose to say it after dinner, and in this serious negotiation atmosphere, he asked for more shares...
This makes it clear that this is not a joke!
So, this question is a bit difficult to answer now...
