Only by working together can we create the future

The principle of the Master Mind is to combine the wisdom of others with your own, which is the secret of power.

——Think and Grow Rich

Most people with great ambitions are good at absorbing wisdom from their peers and gaining motivation from their peers.Due to the modern
The rapid development of science and technology requires not only individual sophistication, but also a high degree of accumulation of knowledge for determined pioneers; even the burst of creative wisdom requires this high degree of accumulation of knowledge as the cornerstone.Therefore, the more people who are good at seeking knowledge from the group and constantly expanding the field of knowledge seeking, the more beneficial it is for each other to choose the best and fill the gaps, so that the intelligent structure will be more perfect and full of adaptability, so as to adapt to the rapid increase of modern knowledge and the quality of talents. requirements.

There are many examples of great success created through cooperation, and we can only use Bill Gates as an example here to be convincing.

In the "Forbes" magazine in July 1995, Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft Corporation, was named the richest person in the world, with his personal assets reaching 7 billion US dollars.But did you know that Gates started his business with his friend Paul Allen.

In 1975, Gates and Allen finally made a decision to jointly establish Microsoft Corporation. Their purpose is to develop software for various microcomputers.Due to Gates' outstanding contribution to the development of Basic, he holds 64% of Microsoft's shares and Ellen holds 36%.

At the beginning of its business, Microsoft can be said to be a company without funds and properties.The company does not have a formal office, and the owner of one company created an office for them in the clean room of his company office building.On the one hand, Gates has to continue studying for a degree at the university, on the other hand, he has to run a company, running back and forth between the two places, and Ellen is working in another company at the same time.The cooperation between Gates and Ellen is close, harmonious, and as always, the friendship established in middle school has never been flawed.The company's decisions are made jointly by the two of them, but the scope of their work is different. Gates is responsible for the daily affairs of the company, such as administrative and sales activities, while Ellen is responsible for the development of new software.Recalling her work in the early days of the company, Ellen said:

“In the beginning, our management style was loose. Bill and I were involved in every decision, and now I can’t remember who made the decisions. If there’s anything unique about us, it’s probably that I focus on developing new things. products, while Bill is more interested in business matters such as negotiations and contracts, and he is also very expert.” They practice in learning, learn in practice, hire employees, rent houses, sign contracts, etc. Work late into the night.

In November 1976, Ellen quit her job at another company to devote herself wholeheartedly to Microsoft.At the same time, Gates resolutely dropped out of school in spite of his parents' objections.

With the continuous expansion of Microsoft's scale and rapid increase in business, Gates and Allen decided that Microsoft should transition from loose management to standardized management, so that Microsoft can develop from low-level to high-level, and from loose to standardized. 1980 was a memorable year for Microsoft.In June of this year, Palme, Gates' classmate in college, joined Microsoft as the assistant president.Palme has a natural talent for doing business, and his joining liberated Gates and Ellen from distribution chores. This talented student who had studied for a master's degree in business administration soon systematized various businesses of Microsoft, and went On the road of orderly operation and management.Because of Palme's arrival, Microsoft has a new turning point.In order to retain this rare talent, Gates let Palme own 6% of the shares.

Since then, under the auspices of Gates, Microsoft has continued to enter the computer software market and achieved brilliant results. In 1992, Microsoft's market value was as high as 219 billion U.S. dollars, surpassing General Motors, a long-established giant in the United States, for the first time.Since Microsoft's stock went public in 1986, it has risen 12 times. Almost all employees of Microsoft have become super rich, and the assets of Gates, Allen and Palme all exceed US$10 billion.

In more than 20 years, the partnership established by Gates and Allen has developed rapidly from small to large, from weak to strong, and has become a world-renowned large company.The development and growth process of Microsoft Corporation is a arduous entrepreneurial process of a partnership enterprise from a weak to a strong one, and it is an entrepreneurial process of like-minded partners working together and united.

A man who achieves great things has a strong charisma, can inspire and direct all his personnel to achieve greater achievements than they would not have such a command.To be successful, you must have this spirit.
