Chapter 214 Alliance with Microsoft?

When Jester talked about wanting to develop a visual operating system with Microsoft, Bill's door was stunned at first, and then his expression of ecstasy appeared on his face. He was indeed worried about this thing recently. Although Te also saw the future development direction of computers from Apple's Macintosh computer, he was not very satisfied with the visual operating system they had just developed, because it was far worse than Apple's one.

It is unknown whether the investment and the duration of R&D of this thing are, and judging from the current situation, it may be that there is no profitable R&D plan for a long time, which may be five years, eight years, or even ten years. He also wants to find a partner to share the risk with him, but unfortunately, those who are interested do not like it, but those who are interested do not have interest in this thing.

Bill Gate scoffed at these people, because in his eyes, the operating system represents the future.

It's just that the operating system, he is most disdainful of Apple's system that has to be bound to their computers. In fact, Bill Gate also thought that if Jobs hadn't been determined to make his computer, he would have developed a visual operating system as great as their Macintosh for those compatible machines, he might be even more worried now.

However, Bill's gate was also a little gloating. It seemed that he had heard some news recently that Apple's board of directors seemed to be planning to drive Jobs out of Apple.

Bill looked at Jester at the gate, and he didn't believe what Jester said about developing a visual operating system together. In fact, he had paid attention to Jester's news before. This person who was younger than him but richer than him was often compared to him by various media. Bill was not a stingy person, and he didn't feel any resentment because Jester was ranked above him.

Because he knew that the operating system development he was engaged in was definitely bright. And Jester's electronic game industry, well, although Bill also believes that there will be some good development in the future, it is not comparable to the prospects of his computer operating system. Moreover, he also heard of Jester's remarks similar to Apple's closed ecosystem, especially his so-called super computer game console at the CES exhibition, and he even sneered at this. In his eyes, closure means a dead end.

So. When Jester talked about wanting to develop a visual operating system with him, Bill was puzzled and even wanted to refuse. His Microsoft didn't want to make a system for a company's computer, even ibm would not be possible, let alone Jester's Mars Entertainment.

Just when Bill wanted to politely refuse, Jester spoke first.

"Mr. Bill, I don't mean my unrealistic computer plan. It's a real, universal visual operating system, and I think this is the road ahead," Jester said truthfully.

Hearing Jester's words, Bill's gatekeeper swallowed it back. He looked at Jester again, as if he couldn't understand what the other party was thinking. He was just about to say something, and when he heard the UCLA call him over and said that his speech was ready. In desperation, Bill had to make an appointment with Jester. After the morning speech event, he met at a restaurant in Los Angeles.

Jester nodded in agreement.

When giving a speech at Bill Gate, Jester was also listening. To be honest, Bill Gate is a person who is very good at speaking. He speaks with passion. He is also wearing a casual outfit, which gives the young students present a sense of intimacy, as if in front of them is not a billionaire who is almost the same age as their senior.

Moreover, Bill's language is funny and funny, and he laughs all over the place from time to time.

Jester was so sorry for this.

The whole speech for more than 40 minutes was exciting. Even Jester could not help but immerse himself in Bill's telling, and telling his entrepreneurial stories and some trivial matters was originally just some very simple things, but it was told from Bill's mouth, but it had an inexplicable attraction. When Bill was about to end and make the final summary, Jester couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being what he mentioned in interviews with some people. Bill's gate was a very powerful speaker.

"Excellent." After Bill's resignation, Jester also gave his praise.

After all, it was the first time that Jester gave a speech in front of so many people. Looking at the dark and curious look in front of him, it was impossible to say that it was not nervous when he was about the same age as his students. He also saw some familiar figures in the students, all of whom were classmates when he was studying here, and these people were still waving his hands to greet him.

Jester also smiled. In the eyes of the crowd, it was naturally impossible for him to wave his hand to say this behavior. It was not that he was not elegant, but that he was too ostentatious.

After a pause, Jester first slightly reviewed the content of the speech he had driven out a few days ago, and then smiled and began his first formal speech in his life.

"cheers!"

In a restaurant in Los Angeles, Bill’s gate and Jester’s were slammed together, and the amber liquid was crystal clear. Bill’s gate took a sip and then said sincerely: “If you don’t say it, I wouldn’t believe that this is your first official speech. It was really great, and the applause from the audience is proof of it.”

As a person with a domestic soul, Jester is still quite modest in character. Although he has been learning how to be an American for more than a year, in the face of Bill Gate's praise, he still humbly expressed his fear of not being able to take it. After giving in a few words, Bill Gate finally took the lead in taking the initiative to reintroduce the topic into the visual operating system that Jest had mentioned before.

As for what Bill Gate said, wanting to hear his opinions on this, Jester put down his wine glass, frowned slightly, and seemed to have thought for a moment before speaking.

"Actually, although I think visual operating systems are the general trend of computer operating systems in the future, this also takes time and cannot be achieved overnight. The current visual operating systems are not really a graphics operating system, but just a little trick. Apple does this, and I think if your company is also developing, it should be similar."

Jester smiled, in order to prevent Bill from admitting it, he also showed evidence: "Mr. Bill, although I am a gaming company, I only do hardware, and the Ati graphics card company has been paying attention to the current PC hardware for many years. To be honest, I have discussed with Mr. He of Ati before. Judging from the current PC hardware, it is impossible for a real graphics operating system to exist."

"hehe."

Bill Gate just smiled. He did not admit it, but did not deny it. Instead, he talked about the visual operating system that Microsoft is currently producing: "In fact, Mr. Li, my company's first visual operating system has been designed and is undergoing black box testing. You can interview in about November."

Obviously, although this is not a secret, in Bill's eyes, Jester is not from them after all. Even if he knows that they are developing their own visual graphics operating system, he will not know too much about it. What is the level of this system? In fact, even in their industry, few have tried this system.

To Bill's door, Jester smiled indifferently, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip before saying.

"To be honest, Mr. Bill, I'm under twenty-one this year, so drinking is illegal, but that's not the point, the point is, are you satisfied with your operating system?"

Bill Gate just smiled unanimously. He avoided talking about this issue, but asked casually: "If we cooperate, what can you pay? You should know that although I am not as much money as you now, I am raising stocks and can go public after the New Year. I will not be short of R&D funds. You are even worse than us in terms of computer operating systems. Let me ask, why should I develop with you?"

"Mr. Bill, I will answer your second question first. You said that your technology is leading. IMHO, what are your achievements in graphics operating systems? If you only have the level of Apple's Macintosh, then the technology is not unattainable. If you don't even have that level, I don't think you need to talk about technology leadership or something. Everyone starts from scratch and can't say who is better than who."

As he said that, Jester smiled, "Next question, as for what you said, you will not be short of funds after the stock raising, I have about two points to say. First, if we can officially form an alliance in this regard and I will take out a large amount of money to buy shares from you at a high price, then the result of your stock raising will be beneficial and not harmful. I think you also understand what this positive news represents before listing. The second point is very simple. Although you and I know that the future is the era of graphics operating systems, no one knows where this era begins, five years or ten years? This is unknown. Do you not want someone to take risks with you?"
