Han Xuan and Anya ended their daily bickering, and to others, they all seemed to be flirting.

Mrs. Gates just listened with a smile, probably thinking that she had such a playmate, with a bright smile on her face and a little remembrance.

The Bills house has two restaurants in total, and the large restaurant can accommodate more than 100 people to eat at the same time.

Another small restaurant can only sit for twenty or thirty people, but in terms of the luxury of decoration, the small restaurant is even better.

Through the window, you can see the entire landscape of Lake Washington. The lights are on by the lake, and the night view is quite beautiful.

During the meal, Bill Gates himself made a special trip to come back after the meeting.

Although I heard that Han Xuan's company has developed a desktop operating system, which is the be-os he once paid attention to, and a new laptop equipped with this operating system is about to be launched soon.

But Bill is not worried about this. Microsoft's market value now exceeds 500 billion US dollars, occupying most of the global desktop operating system market, at most it will be an additional Apple.

He has sold most of the Microsoft shares one after another, and the two have no interest disputes. Moreover, when it comes to their value, money is just a number used to compare, so the table of people has a good conversation.

The couple liked these two uninvited little guests very much, and Bill even opened a bottle of red wine that he had collected for many years.

Romani Conti in 1945, which had a history of more than 50 years, knew that Han Xuan would occasionally drink some, because he was in a hurry and had no time to sober up naturally, so he could only shake it quickly with a decanter.

Three dishes were selected for dinner.

The first one to serve was the smoked guinea fowl salad, the main dish was Alaska halibut with prawns, and a dessert butter almond cake.

After enjoying dinner, Bill turned sideways from his briefcase, took out a small red metal box about three or five centimeters long and five centimeters high, and smiled with it:

“This new product from Hope Technology is very interesting. Sometimes I use it to listen to music on the way to the company.

I heard that Jobs is also preparing to develop this kind of product now. I look at the Apple launch conference at the end of last year. You won’t have authorized it to him, right?

I suggest you don’t do that. Recently, Apple is suing me for Microsoft infringement. I am very happy to see Jobs uncomfortable..."

Bill is the new epoch-making product ihope, which was released by Hope Technology at the end of September last year and was launched in February this year. It is a mobile music player with AA batteries (No. 5 battery).

Due to the technological development, this product has very little memory and can only store more than twenty songs at most.

If the user wants to change songs, he or she needs to use the computer to delete the stored songs in it before changing to other mp3 format songs.

E has received a lot of attention since the day of release.

Since February, more than 80,000 units have been bought in North America, with a price of up to $399. It has become a trend now, just like when Blueberry phones were first launched.

Hope Technology is a well-deserved tycoon in this emerging industry. It not only owns many key technical patents for making music players, but also patents in the mp3 format.

Han Xuan had a prescient idea to buy this patent in Germany. Now, if someone wants to develop it, he has to bypass Han Xuan's barrier first. This is why Bill Gates told him not to authorize him to Jobs.

He also contacted the Recording Industry Association of America, spending nearly $36 million to buy the electronic copyright of the association's existing music for twenty years.

And within five years, it delivered 3.2 million US dollars a year, and obtained the latest electronic copyright of the year, forming a store similar to the future i-rat e-line.

Now, no one cares about electronic copyrights in the American Recording Industry Association, and no one can think of how big the market it will have in the future, which makes Han Xuan pick up a big advantage in vain.

Nowadays, it is still free to download music. Pigs have to wait until they are fattened before they can kill them before they can get meat...

“This is just a test product, and it seems that the situation is pretty good now.

By the time the next generation of products is released, I want it to save at least seventy songs, reduce power consumption and have longer playback time.

New products are under development and may not be launched next year. The most critical memory technology has made breakthroughs, but it will take time to mass production.

Jobs called me, but I don't plan to agree for the moment. They should find a way to bypass my patent, but that would take a long time.

I will only consider authorizing other manufacturers after a while of seizing the market.

Mr. Gates, are you still fighting a patent lawsuit between Microsoft and Apple?”

Han Xuan and the others were currently heading to Bill's study to see the whale shark.

There were many famous paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor. Seeing Anya liked her, they often stopped to watch them. They slowed down and followed her and did not rush to pass.

Everyone knows the grudge between Microsoft and Apple.

Apple was the first to launch a window operating system that year, and after Bill Gates discovered its value, he also launched this similar system.

One said it was plagiarism, the other said it was innovation.

The two companies have been arguing about this for more than ten years, but have not reached a conclusion. They are still suing. Speaking of which, Jobs was still a fan of Bill Gates.

When Bill heard Han Xuan mention this, he looked helpless. He raised his arm and pushed his glasses, and said, "Well, I'm considering a private settlement recently.

Apple is in a fiscal crisis and their funds are used to develop a new generation of IMAs.

Jobs contacted me and said that if I was willing to inject $200 million and buy 5% of Apple's stock, I would cancel the lawsuit against Microsoft.

I said I would like to implant Microsoft's office software into Apple's operating system, and an agreement should be reached."

Under the influence of Han Xuan, Jobs returned to Apple two years ago, but history seems to have not changed much.

He is still cleaning up the mess left by the former management in the past ten years after leaving the company, and trying to save Apple, which now has a market value of only about $3.5 billion, with little effect.

Someone has discussed in private whether Jobs has finished his life

At this moment, Han Xuan said: "Maybe I should buy some Apple stocks.

Once this news is released, Apple's stock price will definitely rise, and Jobs will not miss this promotion opportunity."

"You're right, my Falls Fund is also preparing to acquire a small batch of Apple stocks.

Someone told me that the next generation of IMA is pretty good and should achieve good sales.

The laptop in your company is also good, but unfortunately Hope Technology is not listed. Why not use Microsoft shares, how about exchanges with you?

I'll exchange it with you by 10%?"

"ha!

You actually installed a commercial spy in my company! You were caught by me!"

Han Xuan deliberately made a fuss and took the opportunity to change the topic.

What a joke about exchanging shares with Microsoft? Hope Technology is still a booming rising company. Microsoft is already in the air. When the anti-monopoly spin-off and the Internet bubble crisis come, its market value will plummet.

Hope Technology has virtual business and physical business, and its risk resistance is much stronger than Microsoft, so it only changes if a fool.

Bill Gates believed that the conditions given were already good, and seeing that the boy had left his sight, he knew that he could not reach an agreement.

Helplessly, he led him and Anya into his study.

As soon as the door was opened, the lights lit up by itself. His house uses some modern high-tech, such as electricity and solar energy.

A glass wall that is more than 20 meters long and more than 20 meters high is imprinted into Han Xuan's eyes.

In the light blue sea, a young whale shark swam slowly, followed by dolphins, turtles and other animals.

Even though he had heard of it from the newspaper, Han Xuan was still jealous at this moment.

This aquarium looks better and bigger than his own. Seeing Bill's complacent expression, he wondered if he wanted to renovate the villa in Ganbao.

Then raise a blue whale directly as an ornamental fish... (To be continued.).
