The Kyoto Bubble Era: Starting from the Sale of Hundreds of Millions of Properties

Chapter 399 Talks
Bill Gates, whose full name is William Henry Gates III, founded Microsoft together with his friend Paul Allen in 1975. From 1995 to 2007, he topped the Forbes Global Rich List for 13 consecutive years. Became the richest man in the United States in 20 years.

The legend of Microsoft began with the release of Windows95.

Today, Microsoft, which has been established for 16 years, is still in the early stages of development. It is not that the company is developing too slowly, but that the pace of the times has not been able to keep up.

The real information age will start after the popularization of computers and mobile phones in 94 and 95.

Prior to this, no matter how developed the information technology industry was, it could not be worth a hair in the financial industry.

The 36-year-old Bill Gates looked at Sosuke Kitahara, who was only 27 years old, with admiration and curiosity in his heart. This young man is almost ten years younger than himself, and he is also considered a young genius. He was admitted to Harvard University at the age of 18 and founded it at the age of 20. Microsoft, 16 years later, is now considered a giant in the information industry in the United States and even the world.

But compared with this young man from Japan, it is completely worthless.

Kitahara Sosuke made his fortune in 1989, and in just two years, the total assets of the company under his name have exceeded 2 trillion yen!
Converted into rice gold, that is a terrifying 2800 billion!
Today, Microsoft's total output value is less than 100 billion meters!
It is only 28/[-] of that of the Beiyuan family.

Is this the strength of the Japanese consortium?
Bill Gates hasn't been to Japan yet, but he has indirectly learned about the country's top conglomerates from many places. Several families control the economic lifeline of a country. This kind of thing actually exists!
And in that monopolistic unhealthy market, Kitahara Sosuke was able to fight his way out, which is unbelievable.

The point is, he has reached this height in just 2 years.

Bill Gates once thought he was the son of destiny, but compared with Kitahara Sosuke, he is just an ordinary person with better luck.

Therefore, with curiosity and reverence, he resolutely agreed to Sun Zhengyi's suggestion and developed Windows95 with Beiyuan Technology.

"Hello, Mr. Gates, I'm Kitahara Sosuke." Kitahara Sosuke walked into the Empire Hotel in New York with him, and held out his hand with a smile.

The two hands were tightly clasped together.

"Hello, Mr. Kitahara Sosuke, I'm Bill Gates, it's an honor to meet you. Haha, your English is really good. If you didn't say that you are Japanese, I would have thought you were chatting with Americans." Bill Gates said with a smile.

Luo Meng didn't follow him any more, and even Sun Zhengyi waited outside tactfully, letting the two real bosses go to the box to chat.

The two stepped into the box, and there was no one to serve it. This is the most private space, which guarantees absolute security.

As soon as he sat down, Bill Gates couldn't help asking why Kitahara Sosuke wanted to be in the information technology industry.

In fact, in his opinion, the current financial industry, real estate industry, and physical industry are still the main industries. Even in the United States, computers are only used by some special companies and governments, and have not yet been popularized. If you really think this industry has a future, you can enter more Easy mobile phone industry.

"I think personal cell phones will be in the next two to three years, and personal computers, to be honest, may be a long wait."

Bill Gates sighed.

Although this is the direction he has been working hard for, it is up to man to make things happen. He is unable to promote the development of the general environment, nor can he predict the changes of the times. He can only try his best to do his best.

Today, Microsoft's main business is still serving the government, so it is difficult to compare with those companies with great size.

That being said, he really wanted to see the scene where personal computers took over the world.

Kitahara Sosuke smiled, and suddenly said: "I don't think it will be too late for the popularization of personal computers, it will be around 95. Of course, this does not mean that every household can easily buy a computer, but It means that it has officially entered the public eye and has become a household item that people recognize, just like home appliances such as TVs and refrigerators."

"95? That's 4 years later? That's too fast, even in the United States." Bill Gates frowned, not knowing why Kitahara Sosuke had such strong confidence.

But when he thought of his ability to accurately predict the changes of the times in the information, Bill Gates couldn't help being shaken.

In 95, it happened to be when he wanted to release Windows95.

Could it be that he is deliberately showing favor to himself in order to obtain the right to use research and development?
Bill Gates was a little confused and puzzled. He shouldn't be. With Kitahara Sosuke's worth and ability, if he really wants to engage in information technology, he can do it by himself.

Kitahara Sosuke has much more contacts and resources than Bill Gates. It would be too strange if he only valued a Windows95 that has not yet appeared.

After all, compared with the industry he is currently engaged in, information technology is too weak.

The only possibility is that Sosuke Kitahara has taken a fancy to the prospects of this industry at a glance, and feels that it has great room for investment in the future.

Many Wall Street financial giants like to do this kind of thing.

If you look a month ahead of the times, you can easily become a millionaire.

If you look a year ahead of your time, you can easily become a billionaire.

And if your vision can be five years ahead of the times, what can you get?
Bill Gates couldn't imagine it.

"I still think it's a bit slow." Kitahara Sosuke spread his hands with a smile, "Mr. Bill Gates, you are a technology person. Is the speed of technology research and development constant?"

"Of course not. To be precise, technology research and development is a kind of thing that accumulates over time and is bitter before sweet. In the early stage, you have invested a lot of money, manpower and material resources, but you may get nothing in the end. Maybe one day, your technology If the R&D is in place, you will get a lot of wealth in one go!"

Bill Gates said with a smile, this is what he has always encouraged himself,
"I founded Microsoft for 16 years, and along the way, unlike Mr. Kitahara's toughness, in the first ten years of my business, I got very little income, but I didn't give up. I always insisted on technology research and development, and invested a lot in it. 90 years later, the improvement of computer technology has changed significantly, and Microsoft has slowly improved."

He paused, then continued,
"And this kind of change is advancing by leaps and bounds. In 90 years and one year, I got the sum of the previous 15 years' income! This is technology research and development."

"That's right, I believe that the money and profits brought by information technology in the future can also be accumulated like scientific and technological research and development!" Kitahara Sosuke said with a big smile, "It seems slow now, but as long as we get through the most difficult node , we can reap unexpected benefits! This is my judgment."
