Qin Yu’s offer was indeed good, but in Bill Gates’ plan, he didn’t want to sell so many shares at all.
Even if Microsoft later became the world’s largest provider of computer software, he still owned 45% of the shares.
At this time, Qin Yu wanted to take away 25% of the shares, and he wanted to open his mouth to return to the absolute side.
At this time, Paul saw Bill Gates’ hesitation, he patted his friend’s shoulder and said:
“Bill, Qin wants 25% of the shares, just promise him, if you feel that too much of the Zhongyu consortium will affect your control of Microsoft, then dilute my shares, this is also for the development of the company…”
Qin Yu looked at Paul in surprise.
Bill Gates was also surprised to hear Hao Jiyou’s words.
But now that Paul is willing to take the initiative to dilute the shares, then the request of the Zhongyu consortium can be agreed.
“Qin, 5 million US dollars investment, Zhongyu consortium accounts for 25% of Microsoft, from now on you will be the second largest shareholder of Microsoft!”
“Although Microsoft is still very weak, I am sure that Microsoft will definitely grow up in the PC era in the future, and IBM can take us to the sky!”
Bill Gates seemed to be very confident, and at this time described the bright prospects of Microsoft to Qin Yu, in fact, he was urging Qin Yu to hurry up and give money.
Of course, Qin Yu knew what he meant, but at this time, his more than $20 million was still in the futures market, and he had to wait for a while before he could sell and cash out, and now he had to fool Bill Gates:
“Bill, after all, this is a $5 million investment, and the Zhongyu Foundation should also examine Microsoft, right? Anyway, Redmond, Washington is not far from New York, how about I go to the company? ”
The investigation of the company’s situation is false, the delay time is true, Qin Yu knows that Microsoft only made its fortune after cooperating with IBM.
No matter how bad Microsoft is now, with IBM as a partner, they can quickly scale.
Bill Gates heard Qin Yu’s words, and felt reasonable, anyway, now the head of IBM is not in the hotel, this trip to the hotel squatted did not find a partner, it is not bad to pull an investor.
So Bill Gates officially invited Qin Yu to visit Microsoft in Redmond, Washington.
It is about 300 kilometers from New York to Redmond, and Qin Yu and his party drove here leisurely.
Then he found that Microsoft’s headquarters was really cold at this time, and he casually rented a few floors as an office.
And the number of employees at Microsoft is similar to that of the Zhongyu consortium, and there are few people at all.
Bill Gates also showed Qin Yu Microsoft’s latest operating system, but in Qin Yu’s opinion, it was just like that.
The things that a few polytechnic men tinkered out had no beauty at all.
Qin Yu even wondered if Bill Gates really got the opportunity to cooperate with IBM after going through the back door.
If they really let them continue to tinker, Microsoft will not be famous, because now there is more than one company that develops operating systems beautifully.
After walking around, several people huddled in the small conference room to sign the contract.
Qin Yu first spoke: “Bill, I have a brief understanding of Microsoft’s situation, to be honest, there are still many companies of the same type on the market, if Microsoft wants to win in the competition, it must find IBM to cooperate.” ”
Bill Gates also felt that it made sense, “Qin, you are right, but we did not squat in the head of IBM yesterday, and it is difficult to find him now.” ”
What a dead brain, who let you go to squat and guard people’s houses, can’t you go directly to the back door?
“Ahem… Bill, I heard your mother was an IBM executive, right? Wouldn’t it be more convenient for her to act as an intermediary to introduce Microsoft to IBM? ”
Qin Yu gave the other party an idea, let him go directly to the back door, really rely on you science and engineering men to build cars behind closed doors.
But who knows, Bill Gates was a little hesitant when he heard this:
“Qin, let my mother come forward to introduce me? Is this appropriate… And if IBM agrees to cooperate, it will not be able to develop a new operating system with Microsoft’s current size. ”
IBM is a large company, when cooperating will generally prepare several sets of solutions, now they are just trying their luck, if IBM looks at Microsoft’s solution to cooperate, if not fancy it.
But Qin Yu, the investor, didn’t want them to continue to rot, and hearing Bill Gates’ hesitant words, he hurriedly said:
“Bill, you are stupid, there are so many software development companies on the market now, you can just buy several sets of solutions one by one!”
“Then show all these proposals to the IBM director, and I don’t believe he can reject them all.”
Qin Yu’s method is to be a middleman, integrate resources in the field of PC operating systems, and then present the most comprehensive solution to IBM.
It seems untechnical, but Microsoft did exactly that.
After they cooperated with IBM, they directly acquired the operating system of their peers, and then sold it to IBM, and just like that, they became bigger and stronger.
Hearing Qin Yu’s bad idea, everyone in the conference room lit up one after another.
“Yes, why didn’t we think of this method, directly buy a few more sets of operating systems on the market, and let IBM choose it itself?”
“We give IBM a few more options, and there is always one that will satisfy them!”
In the conference room, a group of science and engineering men beat their chests, all regretting why they hadn’t thought of this method earlier.
And Bill Gates’ heart was even more surprised and inexplicable, and he said to Qin Yu in a surprised tone:
“Qin, you are really a business genius, why didn’t we expect this method before.”
“We’ll go and collect the PC operating systems on the market now, and then I’ll contact my mother and ask her to recommend these operating systems to the IBM director, so that Microsoft can work directly with IBM!”
The rest of the people also opened their mouths one after another, but they did not expect that an ordinary investor would solve Microsoft’s current dilemma in a few words.
Qin Yu pointed out the bright road, as long as you can catch the express train of IBM now, it will not be late for Microsoft to develop a new operating system in the future.
