Chapter 522 Stargazing 2.0
“I’m really surprised. I didn’t expect that the richest man would come here in person!”
Li Dongling regained his composure and responded with a smile. It seems that he is worthy of being able to make people happy. Microsoft lost more than 10 billion US dollars on a small target project, but Bill Gates is really obsessed with game consoles!
Bill Gates traveled lightly this time, only bringing Ed Fleiss, a few assistants and bodyguards with him. It was obviously a very hurried trip.
Welcoming him into the villa, Li Dongling and Bill Gates looked at each other. Yao Luoying, Zhou Hualiang, Larson and others were also looking at Bill Gates.
"Lee, you are a genius. I didn't expect that we would meet in this way and in this place!"
As soon as Bill Gates sat down, he had a somewhat anti-customer attitude. Of course, , This is related to Microsoft’s current strength and the fact that this is America. As long as it is in America, it is considered Microsoft’s territory!
Before coming here, Bill Gates had already obtained the information about Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-Tech over the years. To be honest, after reading it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The reason why Microsoft settled the lawsuit with the "small" company was not because it was afraid of Tanglin Hi-Tech, but because it did not want to cause public outrage in the computer hardware industry. It was attacked by a group of people, which triggered the federal Justice Department to launch a lawsuit. , Otherwise, Dongling Hi-Tech was like an ant to Microsoft back then, so how could they be afraid of it?
There are many geniuses in America, and Bill Gates has also met many talented people, but those geniuses all call Bill Gates a genius!
But after seeing the experience of Tanglin High-tech over the years, Bill Gates has to admit that the person who operates Tanglin High-tech is definitely a genius. Tanglin High-tech has never made a wrong move or made a wrong move. This kind of operation His trading ability and sense of smell frightened even Bill Gates.
Bill Gates feels that even if Li Dongling is placed among the founders of technology companies in America, whether he is the younger generation or the older generation, I am afraid he will definitely be able to shoulder the title of genius!
Li Dongling looked at Bill Gates. Dongling Hi-Tech and Microsoft were in a feud, but this was also his first meeting with Bill Gates.
"It seems that Director Ed has conveyed Dongling Hi-Tech's proposal to Mr. Gates?"
Li Dongling did not reminisce about the past, mentioning old accounts or something like that. That lawsuit always made Microsoft lose face. Is it possible that it will help Bill Gates remember it again?
Don't look at the inland media. When reporting on Bill Gates, there are always photos of him smiling and looking kind. But those who have really dealt with him know what Bill Gates's personality is like.
Even people like Steve Jobs, who is recognized as having a bad personality and is not easy to get along with, would be embarrassed when meeting Bill Gates, and he would be so angry that he would curse. I really hope this is a good gentleman, a good gentleman. Can he remain the richest man in the world for more than ten years and become the largest landowner in America?
Moreover, Bill Gates kept a low profile on his trip this time and rushed over in a hurry. He obviously wanted to make a quick decision and did not want to talk about his memoirs with Li Dongling.
"My coming here has proven everything. Microsoft is indeed interested in Donglin Hi-Tech's proposal!"
Bill Gates said with a smile, then he stopped smiling and looked straight Looking directly at Li Dongling, facing Bill Gates, and facing Ed Fleiss, the pressure is completely different.
"I want to know, Li, to what extent can you and Donglin Hi-Tech fulfill their promise?"
"You know, for the cooperation you proposed, the price and risk paid by Microsoft are higher than imagined. Among them, it is much larger, and may even affect the existence of the alliance between Microsoft and Intel. If the computer project and the host project fail, do you know how serious the consequences will be? "
Bill Gates? By the end of the talk, the momentum had completely increased, and Ed Fleiss, Yao Luoying, Zhou Hualiang, Larson and others sitting aside felt bursts of pressure.
Li Dongling faced the pressure from Bill Gates head-on. He knew that this was Bill Gates's temptation, but his face remained calm. The so-called pressure was all the inner drama he put on himself. He put pressure on himself, so of course After you remove the filter in your heart about someone and want nothing from them, what you see is just an ordinary person.
Not to mention, the richest man in front of him in his previous life had all kinds of house collapses, and filters no longer existed. Naturally, Li Dongling did not feel any pressure. He even wanted to remind him to bring more bodyguards when going out, and don’t show shame. Damn it, someone got a cake smashed in the face. This is a moderate. What if you meet someone who doesn’t have martial ethics and throws out a cake instead of a cake...
"I told Director Ed that as long as Tanglin High-tech has promised its allies, it will definitely do it. Of course, the allies who promised Donglin High-tech must also do it!"
Li Dongling and Bill· Gates looked directly at each other, and then the two smiled at each other.
“Microsoft will take a lot of risks in developing an operating system for Dongxin Semiconductor’s MIPS architecture chips. Once Intel knows about it, there will definitely be great dissatisfaction!”
Bill ·Gates first talked about Microsoft's difficulties, then changed the topic, "But Microsoft is willing to support Dongxin Semiconductor. However, the future chip industry of Dongxin Semiconductor, whether good or bad, has nothing to do with Microsoft!"
Bill Gates made a disclaimer in advance. Microsoft can develop systems for Dongxin Semiconductor. However, if Intel knows about it, it will definitely retaliate wildly against Dongxin Semiconductor. If Dongxin is destroyed, it will be useless for itself. But No wonder Microsoft. "This is natural, but I also believe that there will definitely be chips with other architectures emerging in the future. No matter how domineering Intel is, it cannot stop the development of the entire chip industry!" Li Dongling said.
Bill Gates glanced at Li Dongling and smiled but said nothing. He just reminded Li Dongling that as for who wins or loses between Dongxin and Intel, he is too lazy to care. Anyway, he has to use Microsoft's software to break his head. system!
"Li, how sure are you about the computer project and the game console project?" Bill Gates asked the question he was most concerned about.
Li Dongling picked up the water glass, took a sip, and said to Bill Gates, "There is an old saying in the mainland, God helps those who help themselves!
Computer and game console projects, Dongling Hi-Tech is willing Cooperate with Microsoft and support Microsoft, but what step Microsoft can take is not what Donglin Hi-Tech can predict.”
Hearing this, Bill Gates lowered his head slightly and frowned, but then he heard Li Dongling continue.
“For computer projects, the cooperation between the two parties is limited to desktop computer projects. If Microsoft agrees to cooperate, Tanglin Hi-Tech will launch self-developed and self-produced computers, and key components such as chips and computer screens will be produced in-house.< br>
In the future, Tanglin Hi-tech can guarantee that within three years, the annual shipment volume of Tanglin Hi-tech’s desktop computers will exceed 10 million units!”
Li Dongling’s face is not red, but his heart is not beating. He calmly shouted out the ground-breaking words, which made Bill Gates, Ed Fleiss, Larson, Zhou Hualiang and others stunned. Even Yao Luoying, who didn't know the inside story, felt a little lustful for a moment. He stopped talking.
"Lee, can you guarantee it?" Bill Gates asked impatiently.
Li Dongling nodded and said, "This can be written into the contract of the cooperation agreement between the two parties.
However, as I just said, Dongling Hi-Tech can guarantee that it will be done, and is willing to provide key components for Microsoft brand computers. Parts and OEM, but if Microsoft launches a computer brand, the sales volume has nothing to do with Donglin Hi-Tech!"
Hearing this, Bill Gates was unwilling, with a look of displeasure on his face! , why? Li Dongling dared to pat his chest and say that within three years, the annual shipment volume will reach 10 million units if the same parts and components are produced by an assembly line, and the computers are labeled with the Dongling Hi-Tech brand. Microsoft disagrees. Could it be that Microsoft is not as good as Donglin Hi-Tech?
“You don’t need to worry about this, Li. Whether Microsoft will launch its own brand of computers will be decided by the Microsoft board of directors, but if you do, I hope you can abide by the agreement!”
Bill Gay Ci snorted and said with a bit of pride in his expression. He was obviously quite confident in the Microsoft brand.
Li Dongling smiled and nodded, indicating to Zhou Hualiang to record all this and write it into the contract later.
Why does Li Dongling dare to boast that within three years, the annual shipment volume of desktop computers launched by Dongling Hi-Tech will exceed 10 million units? It is not because of the Internet cafe chain plan!
In three years, it will not be a problem for domestic and overseas Internet users to increase dozens of times. At that time, the computers owned by Tanglin Hi-Tech will be sold to its own chain of Internet cafe companies. No matter how big the quantity is, it will be edible. Go ahead and never worry about not being able to sell!
As for Microsoft, according to the configuration of computers provided by Tanglin Hi-Tech to Internet cafes, only the devil knows how many machines it can sell. Anyway, it has nothing to do with Tanglin Hi-Tech. Did Ling Hi-Tech deceive it? Did it force it to produce computers? If it was done consensually, can that be called cheating?
“As for the game console project, Tanglin Hi-Tech will do its best to help Microsoft and Nichiben Bandai’s console business. I can guarantee that it will be sold to Microsoft and Bandai Game Department to develop games for Microsoft game consoles. .
A subsidiary of Tanglin Hi-Tech provides key components for game consoles to Microsoft's gaming department. In addition, Tanglin Hi-Tech will also invest in some graphics card and other parts companies for Microsoft's game console business! "
Li Dongling expressed enough sincerity to Bill Gates, "But the game console project is not Dongling High-tech's strength. Funding investment, design, publicity, game content, etc. still need to be done by Microsoft itself. Tanglin Hi-Tech can only guarantee its full support! "
Listening to these "full of sincerity" words, Bill Gates felt that with an ally like Donglin Hi-Tech, what more could he ask for.
"As long as Donglin Hi-tech Dongling Hi-Tech can do what Li promised. In the future, Dongling Hi-Tech will be Microsoft's best ally! "
Bill Gates also said "with true feelings", but he and Li Dongling each have their own plans. Only the devil knows. Several of those who have been allies of Microsoft in recent years have ended well. However, it seems that Tanglin Hi-Tech does not intend to be a die-hard ally of Microsoft.
"Mr. Gates, in fact, in addition to the computer and game console projects, in the living room strategy, Tanglin Hi-Tech also has a project that wants to cooperate with Microsoft!"
