Chapter 1913: Software is more expensive than the system?

The latest chapter of the strongest rebirth in life
Bill Gates is actually a very interesting person in life.
You can see that he has raised sharks for his family, and you know that he is still very unusual.
In addition, Bill Gates' home will always be the fastest place for various new technology applications.
Basically, what fingerprint unlocking, face-sweeping function, infrared protection ... etc. Can be seen in his home.
This is also the world's richest man at the forefront of science and technology, and must be sensitive to trends.
If you are not paying attention to new technology yourself, how can you ensure that the investment in these technology companies is correct?
However, it is still 1985, which is still 9 years before he is married, and his home is not luxuriously furnished for this reason.
By the way, Yin Jun and Bill Gates have something in common.
Bill Gates has a confidante who has been with him for decades and has always been known by his wife, which is equivalent to having two wives.
Yin Jun has only a lot more women than Bill Gates. Thinking of this, Yin Jun thinks that Bill Gates is the same as himself.
To welcome guests from afar, Bill Gates and his girlfriend Catherine entertained Yin Jun and his party at home.
Whether this Catherine is the confidant of Bill Gates in the future, Yin Jun does not know, but looking at the future of Paul Gate ’s good friend Paul Allen, it is clear that he is not such a handsome man.
Paul Allen is seriously treating him at this time.
In fact, this guy has a good life. After this treatment, he can live to see God again in 2018, and live a life of drunk gold fans, which is an absolute winner in life.
Yin Jun did not bring a female partner on this trip, so assistant Ye Linqinwa took the place of the female partner, and with Yin Jun, opposite Bill Gates and Catherine.
Kolotti sat on the side sadly.
A person.
But in finance, it is always good eloquence and cheeky. Some interesting insights and jokes come out, but it makes Kolotti win a lot of praise and laughter.
The American people's breakfast is very good, either coffee omelette with sandwich or milk cereal.
The lunch of the American people is also very good, coffee and sandwiches are basically enough.
But their dinners are generally very rich. If you eat outside, you can basically eat for two or three hours.
Bill Gates has specially hired good cooks, and the western food is very authentic.
Well, the western food here is French or Italian.
American dish……
Are there any American and national dishes in the world?
At around ten o'clock, the servant packed up the dining table. Catherine took Ye Linqinwa to another room to chat. Yin Jun and Bill Gates and Kolotti entered the study together.
Being able to participate in the negotiations between Yin Jun and Bill Gates, Koloti did not care too much.
But if he knew that he was involved in negotiations between the two richest people in the world, he would be very excited.
Bill Gates didn't care much.
He wanted to talk more about the company's operations.
"Jun, Microsoft wants to buy the copyright of the office." When the servant served the coffee and hid the door, Bill Gates said his biggest wish straightforwardly.
"Office sales are good?" Yin Jun smiled.
Bill Gates also ignored Yin Jun's diversion, he nodded, "500,000 copies in January, 700,000 copies in February, and 800,000 copies in March. At this rate, not only all Microsoft Windows computers will use office software, and even all other operating systems will use it.
At present, the copyright of this software is not in the hands of Microsoft. We are only selling it as an agent. There is no initiative! Only let it be completely attributed to Microsoft, so that it is bundled with Microsoft's Windows system and used to promote the Windows system better! Can the Windows system beat the rest of the operating system and become the only choice for people? Office software is very important! "
"If everyone uses the Windows system, wouldn't Microsoft have formed a monopoly?" Corauti asked. "Monopoly is to be split, which is not good for investment."
As a person brought by Yin Jun, he is equivalent to a staff member and can naturally participate in this negotiation.
Microsoft could have had a few more people to negotiate, but Bill Gates has always been strong, so he talked directly.
"Apple has its own system of use, Linus system is also used in many places, our Microsoft Windows system, even if it occupies more market share in the future, it will not reach the monopoly standard." Bill Gates is confident The way.
Yin Jun believes this.
Later, when Microsoft was almost determined to be a monopoly, it was also because of their Windows system, not Office.
"Now that Microsoft wants to buy all the copyrights of the office, it must be very optimistic about this working software, so what can I get?" Yin Jun did not let Koloti speak again. Bill Gates and Yin Jun are equivalent. Lautie talked to Bill Gates, it was disrespect to him.
"There are two options to choose from," Bill Gates said. "The first is that we use cash to buy out. I plan to use 50 million dollars a year for a total of 6 years of payment time to completely buy out this software. "
Relying on the super-selling of the Windows system, Microsoft has a lot of cash flow, and it is no problem to pay 50 million US dollars in the first year.
Next year, Microsoft will already be on the market, so what are you afraid of?
A total of 300 million US dollars to buy office is absolutely sincere. If Yin Jun does not know the role of office for Microsoft and the dominance of office systems around the world!
It is no exaggeration to say that although Microsoft's Windows system occupies more than 80% of the computer operating system share, it is not as good as the office market share.
The market share of office is almost 100%!
And office is different from ie, ie browser is embedded in Microsoft's window system, but office is to be purchased separately, the price is not very low, and sometimes it can be more expensive than the price of the window system! !
When Microsoft's first Internet bubble around 2000, the market value can exceed 600 billion US dollars, the office's credit is definitely not small!
Bill Gates is clearly seeing the huge potential of office now, so he does not hesitate to use this huge amount of cash to buy office.
There has never been any software that has such a high value!
Colauti was dumbfounded, and felt that Bill Gates was a bit too exaggerated.
Yin Jun nodded, "What about the next plan?"
"The second option is shares." Bill Gates said, "According to our appraisers, the value of the office is about 300 million US dollars, then according to the dilution of shares before our listing, etc., and after the listing The expected increase of 8% of the shares is normal! But because you are the largest shareholder of Microsoft, you must also have a 4% share. "
Sounds funny.
First of all, Yin Jun is Microsoft's largest shareholder, but he can't get involved in this management right. After Bill Gates decides, he will notify Yin Jun.
Then Yin Jun sold the software to Microsoft, but he still had to pay for it.
But in fact, these two points have no problem at all.
The shares in Yin Jun's hands were originally low-voting shares. Bill Gates and Paul Allen's shares added up to have more voting rights than him, so Bill Gates, who is the president, basically said that it counted.
The second point is also easy to understand. Since it is the entire Microsoft share that is used to pay for the office, how can Yin Jun, the largest shareholder, not pay?
Even if it is from the left hand to the right hand, there must be this process.
Yin Jun thought about it and said: "8% of the shares are too few, I think 10% is enough."
"If you don't have Microsoft's Windows system, office sales will definitely be impossible," Bill Gates said, shaking his head. "8% is already the best price. Otherwise, we won't let Office log in and the software will be better What's the use? I'm looking at you as the biggest shareholder, the preferential treatment! "
"Since we all have our own opinions, it's better to bet on it." Yin Jun said, "If the total office sales did not exceed 20 million copies by the end of 1986, I will return 2% of the shares to the three of us. If it reaches 20 million copies, then I can win the game. "
"The 20 million copies include the basic version?" Bill Gates said immediately. "If the basic version is sold, then we will lose money!"
Many Chinese people do n’t know. In fact, the office has always been sold in several versions. Anyway, we all use pirated versions and do n’t care about those.
Take the personal basic version of the office that is currently being sold, the price is generally $ 99, but the standard version will be upgraded to $ 399, and the professional version will reach $ 599!
Don't doubt it, it's so expensive.
Office is more expensive than Windows system, that's how it came.
But this standard version and professional version must be used by very professional talents, or purchased by the company, because they need more functions.
This kind of sales volume will certainly not be too much ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But considering so many companies in Europe and America, there are hundreds of thousands of them. In fact, the market for professional and standard versions is also quite large.
Ordinary people use it for typing, simple drawing, and charting. A personal basic version of $ 99 is enough. This will also be the main sales force.
Bill Gates's concerns are justified.
If Yin Jun just guaranteed how many sets to sell, if the vast majority of sales were 99 US dollars, then Microsoft only earned about 1 billion US dollars, and they gave 2% more shares.
Because office sales, there are various software costs, including sales costs and after-sales costs, etc., these are to be calculated.
Microsoft's shares will be very valuable in the future, this point, Bill Gates is convinced.
Therefore, he must protect his own interests, it is impossible to give too many shares to the office.
Even if the gap is only 2%, he will strive for it.
