Chapter 344: A Strange Meeting
"William, are you planning to be a philanthropist? If you donate a little more, the black buddies can eat better."
"Old Joe, talk about it, it's a symbol of the counterculture, why can't you do something high-spirited?"
Faced with Jobs' ridicule, William White naturally had to fight back. The buddies’ money is all hard earned, and they say that they don’t save the poor, so why let them eat better?
Seeing this guy's cheeky face, Master Qiao could only change the subject.
"Why isn't that bastard Bill coming? Is this guy's broken car broken down again?"
"Haha, I probably stole something from you, and I'm a little afraid to meet you."
Just as Master Qiao was about to complain, a voice came from behind him.
"You two bastards talk badly about people behind their backs, don't you know?"
"Tch, I'm not afraid to say it in person."
Today's meeting is a bit weird, William White really doesn't know, if you Bill Gates wants to see me, just go to Los Angeles directly, why let old Joe help you make an appointment.
If it had been a year earlier, the meeting of these three guys would definitely have disturbed many people. As for now, it doesn't really matter. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the era of Jobs is over.
"Bill, you are planning to recruit Jobs." William White said jokingly.
"My temple is too small, if you are willing to incorporate it, he might be quite happy." Bill Gates was a little disapproving.
"Tch, if he is willing to help others, I don't mind."
"I mind, enough of you Wall Street bastards." Jobs looked aggrieved.
"Hey, old Joe, the position is different, and the angle of looking at the problem is naturally different. Markkula is not bad."
When William White said this, Jobs was speechless. In principle, it is really a tragedy for him and Markkula to come to this point. In fact, with such a strong personality, it is very difficult for anyone to get along with him.
"Tell me, Bill, what are you going to do?"
Bill Gates' purpose is of course very clear, you have split up so many companies, if one of them is engaged in the operating system, then he will be in big trouble.
"Let's put it this way, Bill, I wouldn't be working on an operating system if you weren't working on office software. In fact, if it weren't for those assholes in the Department of Justice, I would have done it a long time ago."
"Okay, then it's a deal. If, I say if, will you sell the office software?"
"No, but if you plan to participate in the shares, I can also give up the management rights."
"you sure?"
"My mind is on business software, and the database is the focus."
"Okay, it's a deal."
"good."
Bill Gates was not worried about William White fooling him. In fact, he saw the changes in White's software, so he planned to go straight to it. If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't have enough money now, he probably wants to get office software right away.
As for William White, he believes that this is a win-win situation, and it is definitely better than Bill Gates starting from scratch. It is better to join forces than to fight against each other, so as to make the company bigger and stronger.
In fact, Bill Gates believes that William White and Jobs are actually the same as him. The most notable common feature is that they all have a strong desire to control.
As for the incorporation mentioned by William White, this matter will not happen to them. If he is willing to choose to live with it, why would Jobs leave Apple.
"Bill, is your final version out yet?"
"It's almost this month. If there are no loopholes, it will be released before the end of the year."
William White couldn't help curling his lips secretly, he was afraid of loopholes, aren't you the king of patching? It must be that you haven't finished the goods yet.
But then again, don't tell the truth about many things. If you say it directly, you will have no friends to do it.
"You just copied it, is it so troublesome?"
Well, there's one guy who obviously doesn't think the way William White thinks. William White felt a little sympathetic to Markkula. It was a tortoise's measure that this guy could endure it for so long.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, William White hurried out to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing between the two of you, one is a closed inner loop, the other is open, this is the essential difference, and customers have no choice, why bother to fight?"
The two stayed together, Master Qiao remembered William White's suggestion back then, and then looked at Bill Gates opposite, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, you put it so simply, how could Apple let others use the system. Besides, whether other companies are willing or not is still a question.
Of course Bill Gates also wanted to understand, no wonder Jobs didn't care too much. It's not that he is about to leave Apple, it's that the two companies are facing different customer groups.
In fact, Master Qiao should have some meaning of being happy to see it happen. Today's Macintosh computers can be regarded as rushing to the grandma's house. In a sense, Windows continues the life of the graphical operating system.
After figuring out this joint, Bill Gates will stop talking nonsense. If you want to complain, just complain. This buddy is helping you prove yourself.
Although the meeting of the three of them was not enjoyable, it also opened up some things. Speaking of which, except for William White who has nothing to do, the two guys are indeed very busy.
Of course, William White didn't mean to keep him. Eating with Jobs was like tossing his stomach. This guy, why don't you learn well, but you want to learn from Ah San. If you can eat well after being a vegetarian, everyone will line up to become a monk.
William White knew that Intel was about to release 80386 here, and when this thing came out, a graphical user interface would be born.
At that time, the DOS system may be abandoned. The moment that Master Qiao is looking forward to is indeed coming, but it is a pity that the guy who started all this has no way to wait for that moment after all.
How about saying that Jobs was a tragic figure, but when he rose again, he was again killed by a serious illness. No matter how successful it is, the left and right are just a handful of loess.
The great philanthropy came to an end, and William White returned to Los Angeles. He had spent a lot of money recently, and he planned to make some money from somewhere else.
The Pretty Woman has also been completed, and now it is necessary to start the follow-up operation. After this period of cooperation, Sophie also began to mature slowly, and that young girl seemed to be gone forever.
"Boss, how did the talk go?"
"It's okay, you still have to keep an eye on Microsoft. This guy has no credibility. Although he said he won't develop office software, he doesn't have any contract."
Tom couldn't help complaining secretly, Boss, you have enough troubles now, where can you write about this kind of thing? If the Ministry of Justice learns, it will definitely cause another wave.
After some revisions, I really feel sorry for everyone, the recent review is more strict, I try not to walk by the river.
Thank you all.
