When seeking jobs, job seekers pay extraordinary attention to the scale of their company, because in addition to salary standards, fame and office environment, the personal growth of employees is also closely related to this.

Many large-scale enterprises have talent training plans or complete employee promotion channels because they have a deep understanding of the importance of talents and will spare no effort to keep all capable people in the company.

Among them, the most typical way to firmly tie up company executives or senior technical personnel is stock options. The measure is to let employees purchase company stocks at the internal price of the company, rather than the market price on the exchange, so as to become a small shareholder of the company. As for a series of senior management personnel such as CEO, CFO, COO, etc., they will even give shares directly.

Therefore, when Alice proposed to invest in Microsoft with technology, Gates and his group agreed without hesitation. For them who have been struggling in the mall for nearly ten years, they knew from the very beginning what Alice was thinking.

The only, most important and almost eternal problem is the shareholding ratio.

"What I'm looking at here is the long-term benefits my daughter can bring to the company, that is, her personal development potential."

Facing the men in the house, Sophie said in a voice: "Her age is obviously the biggest advantage. She is only twelve years old now, but she can be alone. She is several times faster than you more than fifty people to combine to develop this operating system. In other words, her ability alone is equal to three or four times that of everyone in your company. I believe you don't have much objection to this comparison, right?"

"To be honest, if it weren't for Microsoft's large platform with a good scale, we could have an independent portal. Mr. Gates and Mr. Allen, please imagine how much impact would it have on Microsoft if Alice set up a company alone, with her talent?"

"So, I think the 40% share allocation is not an exaggeration. This is because you are the company's veterans. After all, she can take over all your employees alone, right?"

It was an over-proposal. After all, the company was not on the verge of bankruptcy. It was not a simple decision to force everyone to squeeze out nearly half of their shares and give a stranger who had no friendship. But no one was angry at the scene for Sophie's request, because this was just a unilateral step to make personal requests, and bargaining was the eternal focus.

"On the surface, it's true, Ms. Wang."

Ballmer looked at Alice and his daughter with a smile, but the flashing light of his eyes meant that he was not so easy to fool: "However, if you only rely on handing over this work, you will definitely not be able to obtain such a high stake. Of course, I am not doubting Alice's talent, nor is it bullying her without roots in Microsoft, but she is a newcomer in the entire computer industry, right? Although this system is indeed excellent, but..."

Ballmer paused for a moment, and that's all he said, Gates immediately said, "Alice, what Cisco Systems company did you build on the content you left in that trial version?"

In a total of about ten days, Microsoft people had already investigated the "Cisco Systems" mentioned in Alice's letter, but the industry seemed to have no information on it at all. As for the company's yellow pages, which are so big in the United States, where do they look at the records of every city?

Therefore, everyone naturally became more curious about it. Although it was just a text document stored in the computer that had no legal effect, a small document that was obviously written by a girl's essay, and an English string full of confessions of patients with advanced secondary disease at the end of their lives.

"Computer industry company with the main business of producing network hardware equipment."

Alice took the answer and said with a smile: "I am currently preparing to develop it. The products are all invented by me. As for the effect, everyone has used my operating system. Don't doubt my programming ability, right?"

Although everyone present was a pioneer in the application software industry, how could they not be interested in the term Internet hardware? At the suggestion that Gates suddenly became excited, Alice explained to everyone about routers and network protocols in the next twenty minutes.

"When the entire computer industry is booming, major telecom operators are also laying cables nationwide, and even IBM has participated. So, the development potential of the Internet hardware field is unquestionable. Almost every company across the country needs to use the network, of course, government agencies and public settings. Even when PCs gradually become popular among thousands of households, the development of home networks will have new stimulation to this industry."

Alice explained the development trend of the global Internet to Gates, but she was not afraid that Microsoft would steal her business because she knew very well that Cisco's main tactics to become the overlord of this field. Looking at Microsoft's entire company, they are engineers in the software technology field. They want them to switch to network communication technology, and the cost-effectiveness is too low.

"So, potential and talent, combined, are the biggest bargaining factor for me to negotiate with you today. Now is the golden age of the computer industry. As pioneers who rose in the 1970s, you can at least continue your advantage until the 1990s. And now the 1980s are the prototype stage of the Internet industry. I am now a pioneer in this field. In terms of ability, this operating system can prove all the problems... Just like Picasso exhibited "Guernica", there is no need to explain how capable you can be."

"40%, this share is really not an exaggeration. After all..."

Speaking of this, Alice smiled badly: "Although I'm just guessing, you know better than me about your progress. Now so many competing companies are developing new systems, so I'll save you almost a year. Well, Bill, can there be a year?"

After saying that, she smiled terrified and kicked the ball to Gates.

After a while of silence, Gates sighed slowly.

Who is the other party? Just relying on external information, can Microsoft's current situation be understood so thoroughly?

Of course, it is necessary to do everything within the legal scope. Therefore, as early as last summer at the Las Vegas Computer Expo, Gates promoted that Windows 1.0 will be launched this spring, but in fact, the company has not been developing this product at all.

He has been busy so far, and the progress has only been completed a small part. Just a few days before Alice's tape was sent, Gates made a process calculation for himself, but he realized that it would be difficult to get the product out until the beginning of next year. When it was launched to the market, it would really have to wait until the end of 1985.

He was really wondering how Alice came to this conclusion. After all, he already knew that the other party was an ordinary little girl from Los Angeles, not a senior industry insider who traveled to and from Silicon Valley every day, and had never set foot in Albuquerque's land.

In this way, after another discussion, when the twilight had already come, Alice's distribution of interests was finally released.

First of all, technology invests 35%. Although this value is a little less than Sophie proposed, it is completely within Alice's acceptance range. After all, she is very clear about Microsoft's future development. Although the 5% ratio will have a difference of nearly 10 billion US dollars... It's all a billionaire with tens of billions of dollars. Who cares if it ranks third or fourth?

What's more, she has Cisco, and she has Cisco at present.

Besides, this ratio is not unreplaceable at all. For example, when she throws out the 98 and XP systems again...

Then it's still an old problem. Since Alice is too young, she still has to go to school - going to middle school, going to seventh grade middle school, a good grade that all Microsoft executives don't know what to say - so of course it is impossible to hold any position in the company.

Therefore, the position of chief software designer is still owned by Gates and has not been stolen.

It seems like a pity, but as long as you have real skills, is the title really important?

Before leaving the company, Gates personally bid farewell to Alice's family. When they walked out of the door, Alice whispered: "Mom, you guys go to the car first and then take a look at the contract. I'll talk to Bill for a few more."

Sophie glanced between the two and smiled softly: "You don't plan to have a meal at any fast food restaurant suddenly, are you?"

Oscar and Hannah immediately cooperated quite well to make a vomiting sound, and then were crutched into the car under James' elbow.

"Haha, your two younger brothers and sisters are really interesting."

Seeing Hannah grimacing at herself before entering the car, Gates chuckled a few times.

Then, he immediately frowned and looked at the girl beside him: "So, Alice..."

"Anyway, keep keeping confidential is that you have performed well in front of the media these two days, so keep cheering."

Alice patted Gates on the shoulder. At this time, around the two of them, there was no one else at the door of the office building.

He smiled happily in front of Gates, but his blue eyes had turned black, and star-like lights were constantly flashing on them.

"Otherwise, be careful I'll pinch you into a twist, Bill~"

His eyes stared at Alice's eyes blankly, and Gates swallowed and spitted with difficulty.
