Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 268 I will finance you
After two days of table-beating negotiations, the final intentional plan was finalized.

Toyota Motor Industry and Dongfeng Express jointly acquired 180 million square meters of land provided by the Argyll City Government for the construction of factories and a supporting logistics park.

Among them, the land area belonging to the Toyota Motor Factory is 130 million square meters, and the Dongfeng Logistics Park is 50 square meters.The construction costs are calculated separately, and within the first three years, the services provided by Dongfeng Express to Toyota's Georgia plant can be charged at an agreed price instead of market quotations.

In addition, the Argyle City Government also provides a series of supporting policies such as two-year tax exemption and three-year tax relief.In addition to the agreement, Carter also introduced several companies that can produce auto parts to Toyota through Paulson's relationship.
The general framework is like this.I won't talk about the rest of the scattered things, such as the government vehicle procurement that Toyota Motor Sales Company came to talk about, etc., that really made the essence of eating and taking, and played it thoroughly.

A negotiation that lasted for two days, actually took only about ten hours.Carter only felt that his skin was about to peel off, his body was not tired, but his heart was tired! !

"Have you bought your plane ticket yet?"

"It's booked, but you really don't think about taking a break? This summer vacation, how many times have you run back and forth?"

After handing Carter a piece of paper with the order number for picking up tickets, Goodman carried Carter's backpack.While sending Carter downstairs, he asked with some distress.

"Hey, I can't help it. The main reason is that people have called, right? But after this run, I should be able to rest. The residential area is about to be capped, so you should worry about it."

Packing up his bags, Carter flew to the northwest corner of the United States again.It's just that it's not going to Hawaii this time. After Carter's tossing back and forth, Jim has long lost his vacation mood and returned to New York after ending his vacation early.

This time, Carter's destination is Seattle!

"Hey! Here! Carter! Here!"

"Paul! Bill! Long time no see!"

After a bear hug with the enthusiastic Paul and a handshake with Bill, the three walked out of the terminal together.

"What is it that calls me over so urgently?"

"Yes, Mr. Sams from IBM called us and said that the PC project will be approved soon. They will come to Microsoft again at that time, but we still have some internal differences. I don't think it can go on like this. We must do it as soon as possible. Come up with a unified opinion to meet IBM"

When Paul carried Carter's luggage to the trunk, Bill, who stayed at the front of the vehicle, took over the conversation:
"I heard from Paul, Carter, you seem to be very supportive of doing an operating system? Is that true?"

"Of course, I insist on doing the operating system is the real way out for Microsoft!"

Noticing the scrutiny in Bill Gates' eyes, Carter nodded fearlessly.

Even in the face of a behemoth like Toyota at the same time, he dared to be blind, so he was not afraid of Gates' eyes.As time passed, Carter also gradually lost his respect for Gates, the well-known and well-known richest man in the world in his previous life.

From various aspects, this guy seems to be similar to himself?Well, of course, the thick skin is a little bit thicker, and the heart is also a bit darker, but there seems to be no difference in other things.
"I don't really understand why both you and Kay are so focused on the operating system. That thing, for us."

"Hey, Bill! Don't be so anxious to talk about work, okay? It's getting late. Carter must be starving after so long on the plane. He needs food, not your questions."

"Okay, okay, I see. I didn't say not to invite him to dinner, you really are."

···
···
"So, Paul, your current internal situation is that Bill doesn't really want to work on the operating system. He thinks it's a waste of time and the effect may not be good, but Kay is very supportive. But are you hesitating?"

After drinking and eating, it was in a small restaurant in Bellevue.Carter lit an after-dinner cigarette, thinking about this question quietly
"That's right! Bill believes that our current workload is not small. In addition to the orders from Apple you know, we have recently received several orders for other companies to develop 8086-based chip language. So we have no more We have more people to develop the new operating system, and we have used all the prepayments to recruit new employees. In a short period of time, we will not be able to expand production and produce new productivity.”

The lingering smoke was not very friendly to the two engineering men. Seeing the uncomfortable expressions on their faces, Carter had to put down his cigarette and continue listening.

"Moreover, the computer language is the core thing. As long as we master more efficient and refined language writing logic, it is not difficult for us to do superficial things such as the operating system. At worst, we can debug a few times, and we can always Not a bad job, even though the operating system is important, I think we can take our time and don't rush to get it right now!"

Bill Gates took Paul's words and directly expressed his attitude:

"For a technology company like ours, mastering the core technology is the foundation of a company. A more refined computer language is the foundation of a software company. For the same piece of software, others need [-] lines of code to achieve a function. We only It needs two thousand lines! Not only can more software be loaded in the limited memory space, but also the benefits brought by later maintenance, the advantage is the most competitive place!"

Thinking about what the two said, Carter fell into a moment of confusion.

At first glance, the ideas of several people at Microsoft seem to be correct.Even if the future is unknown, Carter feels that what Gates said is the truth.After all, mastering the core technology, Gree seems to have said it?the logic of double identification
"I want to ask a question! If you have enough funds now, can you recruit enough programmers to develop a new operating system?"

Shaking his head, he threw those unreliable thoughts out of his mind.Carter grasped the question in Paul's words and asked directly.

If it's just a lack of manpower and funds, then I can help make up for it!There is absolutely no need to argue about this issue, is there?
Carter didn't know how Microsoft made choices during this period in history.Did you not make an operating system at the beginning, or did you finally make up your mind to do it.Anyway, they will still be operating systems in the future!
And the take-off is also through iBM. After getting the order from IBM, Microsoft will also enter a period of rapid development.It is inevitable to expand the number of recruits at that time.Since it is an inevitable thing, then I just let it go a little earlier!and
"Well, I haven't looked at your revenue statement yet, so let me give you a rough estimate first. 1000 million! For 1000 million US dollars, I can contribute 100 million to buy 10% of Microsoft's shares to help you raise funds. Believe $100 million is enough for you to recruit many capable programmers to help you, right?"
