Chapter 1366 Suggestions

Bill Gates followed Yin Jun to the hotel, and after waiting for him to wash up, he couldn't wait to take Yin Jun to the company.

Today's Microsoft only has one small building, and their scale is not that big.

However, the crowds coming in and out were all busy and full of excitement.

For Microsoft employees whose average age is less than 30 years old, what they are least afraid of is being busy, and what they are most afraid of is having nothing to do.

In the past, they only relied on some program orders and operating system orders from IBM.

Now, in one fell swoop, the epoch-making Windows graphical operating system has been launched, which has suddenly lowered the threshold for using the entire computer by 90%. This is undoubtedly a great development opportunity.

Without Yin Jun, it would have been 2 years before they launched the official WINDOWS window system. Before that, all Microsoft systems were DOS versions.

This can be proven by the constant stream of visits from computer companies and software merchants.

In such a busy time, it is rare for Bill Gates to be able to pick up Yin Jun in person.

Of course, this is because Bill Gates has many things to discuss with Yin Jun.

"Jun, do you think we really want everyone to participate?" Bill Gates poured a cup of coffee for Yin Jun, and then directly asked the question, "Will they be out of control? What if there is something wrong with the software? If so, will we cause a lot of trouble?"

"Are you scared?" Yin Jun asked with a smile.

"Why aren't you worried?" Bill Gates didn't hide it either. "Now more than 500 software companies and thousands of software developers have applied to us. With such a large number, I'm worried We can’t control it. After all, we only have so many people. How can we control every piece of software without any problems?”

"You forgot, Bill." Yin Jun spread his hands, "We are a free software platform! The entire Windows development platform is free. We don't get any benefits. How can we take responsibility? Everything is theirs. If you want to find the problem, you have to look for these companies and individuals who are using their own software to make profits, right?"

Bill Gates was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and immediately smiled.

"Yeah...but what about the malware?" Bill Gates asked again.

"That's also the fault of these people. They always have their own purposes, so they develop these software." Yin Jun said without thinking, "Microsoft wants to benefit the people and give more software developers a platform to perform. , that’s why we open up the source code and let them display it on the WINDOWS platform. What can we do wrong? We can’t say that because of these bad people, our efforts have been wiped out, and people who are serious about developing software should not go. Have you done something?"

Bill Gates nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and his heart suddenly became enlightened.

He is indeed a talented young man. A simple analysis can immediately make people feel at ease!

"What we have to do now is to continuously develop and enhance our own window system and try to avoid malicious programs from damaging computers." Yin Jun said about future computer development issues, "For example, we can identify those malicious programs. code and prevent them from running on the computer. This is the credit and social responsibility of our company at Microsoft!"

"Well, I've asked people in the software security field to keep catching bugs." Bill Gates replied with his jaw raised.

Listen to him talk about the word "catching insects".

Yin Jun suddenly remembered a famous "insect catching" operation in later generations.

And this action was launched by Microsoft.

It's just more than ten years later.

Now...

It seems that launching it now will be more interesting and more effective in publicity?

Thinking of this, Yin Jun said, "Bill, our power as a company is very limited. How about we launch a 'National Bug Catching' activity! Set up a bonus pool to let users and software workers discover us Vulnerabilities in the WIN2.0 system. With everyone working together, wouldn't it be possible to discover and deal with problems more quickly?"

Just now, Bill Gates thought that Yin Jun was a genius. Now when he heard the young man talk about this "National Bug Catching" activity, he was simply stunned.

If he were from China, the comment that comes to his mind now would definitely be "so wise that he is almost a demon"!

"You...how did you come up with this method? Great! Great!!" Bill Gates is indeed a successful businessman. He immediately jumped on the case. "This will not only solve the loopholes in the system, but also allow us to The WIN2.0 system has become very famous, which is equivalent to a big free advertisement!"

In excitement, Bill Gates walked around the room, chattering constantly, then ran back to his desk and wrote down the key points that came to mind.

He is an expert in this area. Yin Jun only needs to put forward a starting point, and he can naturally come up with a more complete and detailed plan.

By the time Bill Gates calmed down, Yin Jun had finished drinking his coffee.

"I will instruct the technology and public relations departments to come up with a plan later!" Bill Gates said decisively, "We will try to launch the 'National Bug Hunting' campaign within a week! Even if we spend a little more money, as long as we can Making our windowing system better and easier to use is all worthwhile."

"It's not just that." Yin Jun reminded again, "Those bug-catching experts, if they are very outstanding talents, Microsoft can hire them into the technical department with high salaries! We who make Windows system software will never dislike ourselves. There are a lot of technical geniuses out there, right?”

"Yep!"

Bill Gates' eyes lit up again, and he added this item to his notepad.

"Jun, I have to say that it is Microsoft's greatest luck that we can work together!" After finishing writing, Bill Gates sighed.

If it weren't for the various strategies proposed by Yin Jun, including the clear development direction of WIN2.0, how could Microsoft's operating system cause such a big sensation now?

In addition, the advice Yin Jun gave today cannot be described as worth a thousand dollars. In Bill Gates' heart, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Think about it, if Yin Jun is not a shareholder of Microsoft, but a shareholder of another software development company, then it will definitely be a disaster for Microsoft!

"It is also a blessing for me to work hard with Microsoft to reach the top of the world's number one software company." Yin Jun said with a smile.

Everyone has something nice to say.

Foreigners also like to hear good things.

But one thing is that the person you say this must have status, otherwise people will just listen to it as a joke.

Of course, Yin Jun's identity was different, and he spoke loudly, so Bill Gates suddenly felt inspired when he listened.

Microsoft's current valuation is less than one-tenth of Kirin Group's, but Bill Gates feels that he can develop Microsoft to around 10 billion US dollars, which is worthy of his cooperation with Yin Jun.

If Bill Gates was told that Microsoft might reach a market value of US$800 billion in the future, he would probably think that the person speaking was a lunatic.

In this era, who would have thought that electronic software companies would perform so crazyly?

"Invite you here today, I still have something to discuss with you." After roughly solving the operating system issue, Bill Gates talked about another issue, "Your hypertext protocol sharing link...that is, the World Wide Web , right? How about selling the patent to Microsoft?"

"You don't have to think about this." Yin Jun said, "Tim and I have an agreement that the World Wide Web belongs to all mankind and can be used by everyone. All companies can develop browser search software for it."

"Free? Are you crazy?!" Bill Gates said in disbelief, "Do you know how much value this contains?"

nonsense!

I know a lot more than you do!

If the World Wide Web patents are really used to collect money, I dare not say 500 billion US dollars, but 50 billion US dollars is definitely possible!

Because without the Hypertext Protocol patent of the World Wide Web, you cannot find any other free resources on the Internet. You can only browse the files that the specific target computer you have agreed with is willing to open it for you.

In this case, using a computer to surf the Internet is completely meaningless.

Even if other software vendors have developed software, you can't search for it, and they have to bother to advertise - even advertise on TV, so that you can find and download it based on the text protocol address on the TV.

So, a computer that cannot be connected to a global network or hypertext protocol can only become a tool.

Do ordinary people like to use tools?

Certainly not!

Computers must have practical functions suitable for ordinary people, such as entertainment, learning, etc., in order to attract more people to use them.

You can't use a computer to surf the Internet, you can't browse and learn knowledge at will, you can't see all kinds of news... Such a computer industry is only worth 100 billion at best.

But if the World Wide Web is added, tens of thousands of ordinary people will pour in and start to come into contact with and use computers, causing the computer industry to increase dozens of times.

In the end, the overall industry will reach the level of tens of trillions of dollars, which is definitely not a problem!

Generally speaking, technology patents in the United States have a patent period of 20 years.

Even if Yin Jun had been raising fish for the past ten years, he had opened up the World Wide Web and let them use it without making a penny.

Just wait until the last ten years and charge a fee of 1%-3%, and then Yin Jun will be able to earn tens of billions of dollars in profits, earning back his capital and interest all at once.

If Yin Jun accelerates the release of some things in his memory, he may be able to get hundreds of billions of dollars.

Bill Gates certainly doesn't know that the patents on the World Wide Web are worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but in his eyes, they are at least billions of dollars.

If used well, it can add another powerful tool to Microsoft's Windows operating system!

Yin Jun just said that he would give it to others for free. Is this crazy?
