To be honest, from the beginning, Gates thought that Shi Zhijian and he would set up a "Microsoft company" together as a joke. However, since what Shi Zhijian said was so convincing, he was too embarrassed to expose it, so he continued the joke to the end and started doing computer research and development.
, but now I know that the other party is really serious!
"Don't be ridiculous, boss!" Gates said with a smile, "Do you know how much investment it takes to do computer research and development? We can do it for fun, but it really takes a lot of money to set up a company, and you also need to recruit people.
A lot of staff! Besides, I’m going back to the United States soon. Then we’ll break up and set up a ghost company!”
Shi Zhijian smiled. The reason why he called He Jiali here today was to bind Gates firmly with a contract!
What is a verbal agreement?
You can regret it at any time!
Even though Gates is calling "Boss Shi" and "Boss Shi" very affectionately now, he will soon forget about things here when he returns to the United States!
By the time he sets up Microsoft alone, Shi Zhijian will still make a fortune!
"Dear Bill, what you said is wrong. I am serious about you!" Shi Zhijian said earnestly, "In my opinion, you are very talented and will definitely shine in the computer field in the future! So I am ready to talk to you.
After officially signing the contract to establish Microsoft, even if you go back to the United States, you can still recruit employees there to work hard. As for me, I will always be your strongest support!"
"Boss, are you serious?" Gates said in surprise.
"Lawyer Hercari, please show Mr. Gates the contract."
"Okay, Mr. Shi!"
Hejiali opened the briefcase she had brought, took out a contract from it, then handed it to Bill Gates and said: "Mr. Gates, this is a contract that Mr. Shi asked me to draft. It contains various details about the establishment of the company.
You can take a closer look at the terms and contents. If you have any objections to that article, you can consult me directly!"
"Uh, this--" Gates never expected it!
He took the contract, opened it and looked at it, and was shocked at first sight!
Shi Zhijian invested one million US dollars!
"God, where did you get so much money?" Gates looked at Shi Zhijian with wide eyes.
Shi Zhijian shrugged: "I earned it!"
"Huh?" Gates was stunned, "Why didn't you tell me you were so rich?"
"You didn't even ask!"
"Huh?" Gates was stunned again. After thinking about it carefully, he really didn't ask Shi Zhijian's identity at first, and directly classified him into the ranks of poor people like himself.
"One million dollars? Do you really want to invest that much?"
"Is that much?" Shi Zhijian scratched the bridge of his nose, "The Microsoft I founded may be different from what you imagined. Your Microsoft started with four or five people, and they started from scratch! But the Microsoft I founded directly cheated and recruited
Global elite talents, operations, management, R&D, and sales are all responsible for professionals!"
Gates was dumbfounded: "Is it necessary to be so big?"
In fact, what Shi Zhijian was talking about was exactly what Gates in the previous life took from starting the company in the 1970s to gradually growing the company. The time span was nearly 20 years! It was not until the 1990s that Microsoft emerged globally and became a first-class computer company.
It has become the dominant player in the global IT industry.
But Shi Zhijian can't wait that long. He plans to directly invest one million to recruit global elites. With the great god Bill Gates in charge, it will spur the rapid rise of Microsoft and earn him the biggest pot of gold in the future!
At this moment, Bill Gates was stunned by Shi Zhijian's generosity. Looking carefully at the back of the contract, if necessary, Shi Zhijian would also provide an additional US$1 million in his own name, up to a maximum of US$5 million.
Five million US dollars to establish a company in this era can be said to be a relatively large-scale enterprise in the United States.
Gates swallowed hard and his eyes began to light up.
Shi Zhijian looked at Gates' expression calmly, with a fishing mentality, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Shi Zhijian knew that if he invested in the name of Shinhwa Group, Gates would definitely refuse.
Shi Zhijian has known Gates for so long, and he has a deep understanding of this ugly boy with an afro. On the surface, he looks crazy, but in fact he is arrogant. Especially in computer research and development, he is arbitrary and will never allow others to violate his authority.
This is also the main reason why Microsoft can be supported by Gates alone in the future.
Sure enough, although Gates was surprised that Shi Zhijian invested so much money, what he valued more was the company's "decision-making power", so he hurriedly looked at the share allocation and decision-making power!
In terms of share allocation, it is basically split 40-60, with Shi Zhijian accounting for 60% because he is the largest investor, and Gates directly owning 40% of the shares, and Gates has the right to allocate the shares he owns.
Gates felt very satisfied with this. He did not contribute money but only efforts, which he could accept! What he feared most was Shi Zhijian's control of "decision-making power." When he took a closer look, he was stunned——
The contract clearly states that decisions regarding the company's future operations and management will be left entirely to Gates. As for Shi Zhijian, he will only make reasonable suggestions!
Gates rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again, confirming that Shi Zhijian actually gave him the power to do it!
"What are you—" Gates raised his head and looked at Shi Zhijian in surprise.
Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "I delegate power to you because I trust you, can't I?"
Gates didn't know why, but he was moved. "Boss, you are so kind to me..." he choked up.
"Don't cry! I'm not doing this to let you work hard and make money for the company? Come on, since you have no objection, then sign it! Lawyer Hercari, give the signing pen to dear Bill!"
Gates took the signature pen handed over by Hercari and looked at it. It was still a very high-end Parker pen, so under Hercari's guidance, he signed the contract in a hurry.
At this moment, Shi Zhijian's heart finally fell, and the big fish had already taken the bait - with this contract, Gates would be tied to the Microsoft chariot, and future IT giants would not be able to escape!
…
After doing these important things, Shi Zhijian felt very comfortable.
Gates is also very happy. He is sitting still and pie is falling from the sky. A million investment is dropped on his head. It is so exciting!
Hejia Li was about to leave after finishing her work, but the food happened to be served at this time.
Shi Zhijian stayed with her for dinner, saying that the Chinese food was great and that she would never forget it once she tasted it.
Shi Zhijian is not talking nonsense. In Shi Zhijian’s opinion, Chinese food is the sharpest among the world’s cuisines. The so-called French cuisine, Italian cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Korean kimchi, etc., how can they be as broad and profound as the eight major Chinese cuisines?
Gates finally got to know such a beautiful lawyer, and he couldn't bear to let her go, so he kept trying to dissuade her, saying that he had ordered a lot of food, and the two of them couldn't finish it. If Hejia Li left, it would be a waste of delicious food.
.
Hejia Li was embarrassed to be dissuaded, so she had no choice but to sit down and dine with Shi Zhijian and the others.
The boss of this restaurant is really good at his craftsmanship, and the various dishes are so delicious and delicious that even just looking at them makes people drool.
Hejia Li and Gates ate with gusto, but Shi Zhijian felt a little nostalgic for his relatives in Hong Kong after taking a few bites.
Now that Bao'er is in middle school at Cambridge School, Shi Zhijian doesn't trust her and will visit Bao'er every now and then.
At first, Boa didn't adapt well in school, but as time went by, she became the king of the school. The name of "Kung Fu Girl" Boa was known to everyone in school.
In fact, Baoer even recruited several followers in one breath, including Chinese, black, and white, a typical girl named Chen Haonan!
At the beginning, Bao'er was "making trouble" in school, and the geeky dean and the like wanted to show off to Bao'er and her parents that a mere Chinese girl dared to claim the title of king here.
As Shi Zhijian visited Bao'er more often, the school's senior officials finally knew about Shi Zhijian's special identity as Viscount of the British Empire and the president of Shinhwa Group. They no longer dared to make mistakes! They even started to fawn over Bao'er.
As for his family in Hong Kong, Shi Zhijian began to miss his elder sister Shi Yufeng, and his three wives, Nie Yongqin, Su Youwei, and Bertie.
Of course, Shi Zhijian also misses his two pretty friends Dai Fengni and Li Xuexuan, especially Dai Fengni who gave birth to a son for Shi Zhijian——
Shi Zhijian missed his son, his only bloodline.
When Shi Zhijian was missing his family, Gates couldn't help but ask him: "Boss, why don't you eat vegetables? Why are you so stupid?"
"Oh, it's nothing—eat vegetables!" Shi Zhijian said while picking up vegetables.
After taking a few bites, Shi Zhijian began to think about how to sell the 100,000 electric bicycles next.
Lawrence, who is currently in jail, has given him a good start. Many British bosses and foreigners know that there is a new type of transportation called electric bicycles, but advertising still needs to be done, both in newspapers and on television.
Newspaper ads are easy to talk about, but TV ads require finding a spokesperson and a good director to shoot them.
The spokesperson chose Michelle, the new European and American little diva, and as for the director——
Shi Zhijian really couldn't find a suitable one if he wanted to break his scalp.
Just when Shi Zhijian was thinking about how to find a good director to direct the commercial short film, suddenly there was a noise at the door of the hotel.
"We British are all polite people. We come here to dine. Although there are a lot of people, we are here to compliment you. Is there anything wrong with having too many people?"
"Oh, do you mind if we carry baseball bats and wrenches? Sorry, I forgot to tell you, we just came back from playing baseball; as for the ones with wrenches, they are car mechanics who just finished repairing the car, so they brought these
It’s not illegal, right?”
While they were talking, there was a loud bang, and someone picked up a baseball bat and knocked the table over!
The guests nearby were so frightened that they held their heads and screamed.
"I'm sorry, my friend was a little tired from playing baseball, and his hands were shaking just now. He accidentally knocked over your table. How much compensation do you need? I will definitely compensate you according to the price!"
At this moment, Shi Zhijian finally knew that these people were here to cause trouble, so he turned to look at the person who spoke.
But I saw that the man was wearing a black top hat, a tall figure, a black suit, and a corsage on his chest. He had a very handsome face. He was smiling at the moment, and he actually had a razor blade in his tongue when he spoke.
His eyes showed a trace of sinisterness, and his whole body exuded a violent aura.
This is a charming man, a tough man, and a dangerous man.
Behind this man were about fifteen or sixteen people, carrying baseball bats and holding huge wrenches, all of them unruly.
"Oh my god, it's the Razorbacks!"
"Razors? Why are they here?"
"Aren't you here to collect protection money? Now that the Razor Party is coming to London from Birmingham to grab territory, these Chinese-owned restaurants are the first choice!"
There were a lot of discussions around, which also allowed Shi Zhijian to understand the situation.
The Razor Gang was a street gang that flourished in Birmingham, England, in the 1920s and 1930s. As you can tell from the name, they mainly used razors as weapons. The advantage of razors is that they can be bought at a very cheap price from barber shops and are easy to hide on your body——
—The main thing is to sew razor blades between the brim of their hats, which is enough to cause disfiguring scars or even death.
The Shelby family was the founder of the Razor Party. At that time, the high unemployment rate in the entire UK and the large influx of Irish Catholic immigrants caused religious opposition. In some cases, the police even beat gangs during gang duels.
The members of the Shelby family gradually took control of Birmingham with their ferocity and cruelty, so much so that there was a local saying: "The fog over Birmingham is the smoke exhaled by the Razorbacks, and whiskey is flowing in the blood of the Shelby family!"
With the end of World War II and the world economy on the right track, the Shelby family was also severely hit by the British government. It was dormant for twenty years and then revived in the 1960s. The Shelby family relied on the Second World War to
After ten years of forbearance, the family's power finally extended from Birmingham to London.
At this moment, the restaurant owner also understood that the other party was here to cause trouble. Chinese people pay attention to "harmony brings wealth" when doing business. The owner immediately ran to the cashier, opened the drawer, took out five hundred pounds and wrapped a big red envelope, and then ran back with a smile and handed it to the restaurant owner.
The burly man in a suit said: "Friendliness brings wealth, harmony brings wealth! Come on, please accept this big red envelope!"
The leader smiled, stuck out the blade with his tongue and then retracted it: "What do you mean? We are here to eat, and we have to give you money to eat, but now you are giving us money in return, how embarrassing!" As he said it, he said again
Stuff the red envelope and return it to the restaurant owner.
The restaurant owner understood that the other party thought the money was too little, and was about to ask for more money, but the other party pushed him away, then pointed at the dining tables in a circle, and suddenly his finger fell on Shi Zhijian's side: "My favorite
If you like their table, please ask the boss to open it!"
Boss: "Isn't this... against the rules?"
"Is it against the rules?" The leading man didn't even look at the boss, and led his men straight towards Shi Zhijian and others. When he came to them, he politely took off his hat, bowed slightly and said, "Sorry, this table is my favorite! Of course!
, I also fell in love with this beauty! Please leave you two gentlemen!"
The leading man looked at the beautiful lawyer He Jiali with a smile on his face, and then looked at Shi Zhijian and Gates - the meaning is very simple, you two get out, the beauty stays!
Student Gates had never seen such a scene before, and he was trembling with fear.
Hercari was also a little scared. The other person didn't look like a good person at first glance.
Only Shi Zhijian smiled faintly, put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at the leading man and said, "Why?"
The man didn't expect that Shi Zhijian would dare to talk to him like this, so he immediately laughed, smiled very unruly, and opened his mouth to spit!
call out!
The blade shoots out of his mouth!
Rub Shi Zhijian's cheek and cum into the wooden dining table!
