After several hours of running around, Bill finally met Xiao Qiang, the technology maniac he had known for for a long time, on the edge of the desert.

Bill was even more surprised this time.

Because Xiao Qiang is too young, he is so young that he doesn’t want to believe it. He is the boss of such a huge technology group!

Because of the sun in the Middle East, Xiao Qiang looked a little dark. But he looked very calm and calm. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a young man in his early twenties. From his movements and expressions, he seemed to have nothing to do with everything. When he saw him, he just greeted him lightly and asked him to sit under the sun umbrella.

There is also an Arab named Abudi who is with Xiao Qiang, who is actually a prince of Saudi Arabia.

Bill looked around unnaturally.

Dozens of armed men with live ammunition were scattered two or three hundred yards away outside them. Half of them were Chinese faces and the other half were Arabs. They were all elite soldiers!

Bill stared for a while and confirmed that these people should not be active-duty soldiers in China. Because they are old and have passed their service life. Even if they have not passed, they should be officers, rather than ordinary security personnel in Xiao Qiang.

To put it this way, Xiao Qiang has no national background, but a technology tycoon.

A tech tycoon with great power!

He looked at Xiao Qiang and Abu and joked in Chinese. The two sides competed, shooting glass bottles with pistols dozens of meters away.

He looked at the sun umbrella, using iced drinks, fruits and melons, and a few live fish! A few freshwater fish!

Austin sat down next to him with a smile.

Bill asked softly: "Austin, the few over there should be freshwater fish, right? Saudi Arabia also has freshwater fish?"

Austin glanced at him with a finger and said casually: "Oh, that's a kind of silver carp. I heard it was caught from Xiao Qiang's hometown. He likes to eat a dish made from fish from his hometown, called boiled fish."

"What?" Bill's voice suddenly became louder, looking at the people around him, smiling reluctantly, and then asked Austin, "All these fishes were shipped from China?"

"She said it was the hinterland of the southwest of China!" Austin corrected his geographical error. "We all like this dish very much. However, in order to ensure the meat is delicious, we can only use local river water and then air transport it over. When cooking, the fish must be lively. You can try it later. Boiled fish is really delicious, but it is a bit spicy..."

Bill didn't pay attention and went to listen to his praises about boiled fish. He just stared at the bucket of silver carp in a daze.

A rich man who lives a luxurious life today, a guy who knows how to enjoy it!

Just look at him and the Saudi prince, and you will know that they are both good people. People like the ancient Babylonian caliph, no wonder they would suggest buying them and ignore them.

Because this requirement was wrong from the beginning.

He is probably too much money to overwhelm himself!

More importantly, it is not how rich or powerful he is. It is his attitude, always so calm and elegant, how can he look like a nouveau riche? This is obviously a big man who has been used to being in a high position for a long time!

What bargaining chips do I have in this negotiation?

Needless to say, Xiao Qiang’s money is probably easy to buy Microsoft in turn.

Technology? Isn’t it sad and jealous after using the other party’s view in practice?

So, what else is there? It is something the other party doesn’t have, but it has it yourself?

Bill was reluctant to be at a disadvantage before the negotiations began. He thought about it and his eyes lit up.

At this time, Xiao Qiang and Abu had already shot all their bullets. They came back and sat down. Bill stepped forward to chat with him at the right time: "Mr. Xiao Qiang. Your shooting skills are very awesome. They are as good as that Prince Abu!"

He also praised Xiao Qiang and Abu at the same time. When Xiao Qiang heard Austin's smile and translate, he laughed. When Abu understood English, he laughed immediately.

Bill continued to laugh at them, "But your Universal Company is even more amazed."

Xiao Qiang was obviously interested and said, "Do you also think my world is great?"

Bill saw happily that he had successfully aroused Xiao Qiang's interest. For this technology maniac, the technology group of other places is the greatest pride.

As expected, Xiao Qiang praised his Universal Company incessantly and said for a long time. Then he said: "We are going to expand the company recently. However, the number of researchers will not increase. I have already struggled to raise so many people!"

Austin smiled and translated Xiao Qiang's words to Bill.

He knew best about what Xiao Qiang said that there would be no more researchers. Indeed, there would be no more researchers at the company headquarters. However, it is not that the company will no longer be added! In the future, those researchers will be secretly taken to Africa and their new base. Perhaps, the research base in Guinea-Bissau will become the largest science and technology center in the world!

It will cover various fields such as military, civilian, and energy. It will continue to feedback research results to the country!

The place where Xiao Qiang thought about dreams was to let himself stand in the world's technological future. Can this dream be realized? He is also full of interest...

After hearing Xiao Qiang's words, Bill nodded repeatedly: "I am amazed by the strong research strength of your company! I thought we designed Windows 3.0 and used twenty-eight software engineers. But the manpower you used for your company is actually a hundred times that of ours! No wonder, your view is so outstanding that I am willing to give you a disadvantage after seeing it."

He used one sentence to transfer the topic cleverly to the topic, and then said seriously: "But I discovered one of the most fatal weaknesses of this software. Now, I want to discuss with Mr. Xiao how to solve this weakness!"

"Oh? This software has a fatal weakness? Why don't I know?" Xiao Qiang said movedly: After looking at Austin, the other party was puzzled and shrugged his shoulders.

After listening to Xiao Qiang's words, Bill laughed.

Xiao Qiang used his wealth to create this situation to put him in a huge psychological pressure. Why didn’t he know?

But Bill turned the form around with one sentence. Now he is the superior, and Xiao Qiang's strength is resolved by him at once. Such a psychological advantage is too beneficial to the following negotiations.

Bill enjoyed this superior psychological advantage and waited for a few seconds before Xiao Qiang was impatient, saying: "From the performance of the software, this operating system is flawless! However, its biggest problem is that it is a window operating system! This violates the patent right! Mr. Xiao started his career with the patent of LCD projectors. He should know the great power of the patent!"

"Patent..." Xiao Qiang laughed strangely, as if he was holding onto something. After a while, he said with a smile. "Since Bill has pointed out our fatal weaknesses in software, what is your solution?"

Bill was a little unsure of the other party's attitude.

If Xiao Qiang slapped the table and was furious, he could still be secretly happy and control the other party's emotions. However, Xiao Qiang actually smiled so hard to understand, so... lewd, which really made him have some speculations.

Bill thought about it and still said what he wanted to achieve most. He gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, you can sell this software to me! It is not just a finished product, but the source code is handed over to Microsoft! In this way, we will definitely carry it forward! Mr. Xiao will definitely not be willing to let you go, and let your excellent operating system be buried because it is unused! As for the money, it is easy to say, I can borrow from the bank. Tens of millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, I can pay!"

As long as we have source code, we can constantly design more advanced software and always lead other companies. Microsoft's empire will be established!

Xiao Qiang burst into laughter, holding his stomach, laughing endlessly.

Bill looked angry and looked at Xiao Qiang and glared.

Of course he knew that he was too greedy. He worked hard and worked hard for several years. He sold it to you if he said it?

But Bill is also a person with a strong desire to control himself.

From the beginning, he firmly controlled Microsoft in his own hands. Similarly, he didn't care about money, what he cared about was whether Microsoft would move forward according to his intentions! He hoped that Microsoft would dominate the whole world, operating system, rather than sharing it with others!

But seeing Xiao Qiang act like this, he knew that Xiao Qiang would never agree to this path.

He endured the sadness and said the second solution: cooperation!

"Since Mr. Xiao is reluctant to sell this operating system. I can understand this feeling too!" Bill sighed and cheered up. He said, "Then, it's better for us to cooperate! We have the right to use patents for visual operations. If we join forces, you will not have to be accused of patent infringement, and Microsoft will also grow rapidly. This is the most advantageous way. Our company is good at developing software against European and American habits. As long as you open source code, we can design software that is more recognized by Europe and the United States, and for a long time, to grasp the operating system market in our hands!"

"Open source?" Xiao Qiang smiled sarcastically, "After cooperating, you have a legal basis, you can use it at will and adapt our programs. Then open source code, and after you master it, kick me away? Do you really think I am a big fool?"

Bill said angrily, "You are a naked insult! I will never do this! How can we steal the other party's skills for ourselves?"

"Will it be, I don't know. But if you say something, I promise, this world will be perfect!" Xiao Qiang accused without mercy.

He originally wanted to hear whether Bill had sincerity, but he firmly demanded open source. This made him lose interest again.

Xiao Qiang was no longer trying to deal with him and said directly: "If you talk about patents, let's discuss patents. Did you first create this graphical interface? Did it create it by Apple? Wrong, it was the earliest draft of Xerox, the first draft of the American Xerox!

Even earlier, there were laboratories that had proposed this concept!

Moreover, the word "graphic interface" alone cannot be a patent. You must propose a patent for every graphic technology or a similar graphic interface! Look at my view, all the designs and interface displays have nothing to do with your patents! I developed it independently! I have also approved the application for all the patents!"

Bill smiled, the other party was angry, and it was easy to deal with. He said easily: "Mr. Xiao, whether to infringement is not the limit. What you say is not the limit, it has to be decided by the judge!"

"Hahahaha!" Xiao Qiang smiled, but there was no smile on his face, "So, are you threatening?

"No, no, no! Mr. Xiao misunderstood. I will never talk to you in this way. I just talk about the matter and talk about your operating system, a fatal flaw. If it cannot be promoted in the world because of this flaw, I will be very heartbroken!" Bill smiled sly.

Xiao Qiang leaned forward. In front of him, he said softly: "I believe that the United States will cause trouble for me to help domestic software vendors. But I want to remind you that doing this will not bring any benefits! This will definitely be a situation where both sides suffer! If the lawsuit is lost, I will return to China at most, and your Microsoft will completely disappear from the market!"

Have you used threats? Learn from me too?

Bill couldn't help laughing.

He can threaten Xiao Qiang. That's because Xiao Qiang wants to enter the European and American markets, so they are the masters! But Xiao Qiangsheng threatens him, but it is useless. In Europe and the United States, no one will favor a Chinese company!

Otherwise, Xiao Qiang would just go to the United States to open a company. Why bother to find him?

In this world, if you are not as advanced as your technology, you will definitely win!

Bill is not hostile to Xiao Qiang personally. They only met today, so what hostility is there? However, in business, the mall is the battlefield. If both sides are in a competitive position, they are the enemy. They can do everything they can tolerate, which does not violate moral norms!

He chuckled: "I sympathize with you. However, Mr. Xiao, once your company returns to China, there will be no more you. And I have lost an opportunity to expand rapidly. This is indeed a huge loss for both of us! If you cooperate with me, then this loss will be avoided. Isn't this a good thing for both sides?"

Austin and Abu both looked at Xiao Qiang.

This situation was something they had expected but unimaginable. Perhaps, cooperating with Microsoft is the best way. They have the energy in the United States, and Bill is also very strong in business. Working with him, both sides may grow rapidly.

However, they also knew the source code churn that Xiao Qiang was worried about, and this way, exposing all the weaknesses of Universal Corporation and all the local areas to Microsoft.

Once the other party turns against each other, he will let him slaughter him and have no power to fight back!

Xiao Qiang's voice became very gloomy and he said coldly: "Mr. Bill, do you really think I don't have any power to fight back?"

Bill made a gesture and asked him to tell him.

Xiao Qiang got up, pulled Bill to the side, and a security team member set up a parasol for them.

Xiao Qiang looked at the desert in the distance and whispered: "If, I mean, if I were driven out of the American market, I can be sure of one thing, my operating system may be stolen!"

"Stolen?" Bill didn't understand what he meant and looked at him in shock.

Is this his counterattack?

Xiao Qiang felt very funny, hugged his brain and smiled sinisterly: "Yes, theft! And the other party's skills are mostly very clever, so they can print them into CDs in large quantities!"

Bill's face changed a little. He understood Xiao Qiang's meaning.
