Lighthouse Country, Microsoft Headquarters.
This is the last shareholders' meeting of the year.
At this meeting, the mysterious third shareholder who had not appeared for a long time also attended the meeting.
Bill and Allen looked at the third shareholder with some curiosity. They originally thought that this was a Sakura countryman, but they never expected that this was a Hong Kong businessman.
A businessman was able to discern the pearls and chose Microsoft from many technology companies. Bill still admired his vision.
Bill and Allen nodded politely to Fengyun, and Fengyun also politely returned the greeting.
Next, Bill began to preside over the meeting.
First, he told the shareholders about the prospects of Microsoft, and then he also raised the current problems one by one.
However, most of them were technical things, and Fengyun could not understand them.
So, he watched with interest these so-called shareholders, who were actually technicians, and started their daily arguments at a table.
After a series of fierce debates, one by one, the topics were also crossed out from the agenda of the meeting.
This time, the product released by Microsoft is an improved version of 3.0, which is not yet at the level of 4.0.
Although Fengyun did not know the advantages and disadvantages of the DOS system, there were too many posts about it in the future. As a shareholder, and the third largest shareholder, he had to make some comments.
"Bill, Alan, I think I have some different opinions about this product that we have not yet released. Can I put it forward here?"
Originally, Bill thought Fengyun was just a spectator, because he sat aside honestly for most of the meeting and even dozed off.
But now, the other party actually wanted to express his own views.
Out of courtesy, Bill agreed to Fengyun's request.
"Of course, Mr. Feng, you are our distinguished third largest shareholder of Microsoft, and you certainly have the right to make any suggestions here." Bill said, and made a gesture of invitation.
So Fengyun started his own tricks.
He started with the user experience, and then talked about various existing problems. Then, with a long-term development perspective, he talked about some solutions to the problems.
This set of operation plans was shown, and Bill and Allen were stunned.
Originally, they thought Fengyun was a layman who knew nothing, but now they found that he was actually a hidden boss.
Bill and Allen were both technical people, and originally, they were only friendly to Fengyun for the sake of appearance.
But now, they found that they were all technical colleagues, so their smiles were more sincere.
"Mr. Feng, you are welcome to give more suggestions. After all, this company belongs to everyone." Bill said.
This sentence means that he has recognized Fengyun's technical level.
Then, Fengyun brought up an unexpected topic.
"Bill, Alan, I have a question, why do we have to copy letters tirelessly in front of such a black screen?
As a businessman, please forgive me for being frank, I don't have any sense of humor about this black interface.
Perhaps, we can turn the screen into a window pattern, one window corresponds to one or a group of commands, do you think this design is more pleasing to the eye?"
After listening to Fengyun's words, Bill and Alan looked at each other, and both shook their heads imperceptibly.
Originally, I thought the other party was a big shot, but the other party's words showed his naivety.
"Mr. Feng, in fact, Alan and I have discussed this opinion you mentioned. Indeed, I also think that windowing can promote our operating system more effectively.
However, this is a long-term step, and we must take it step by step. Rome was not built in a day, and we can't eat a fat man in one bite."
Finally, Bill's humorous words made everyone laugh.
Perhaps to save Fengyun's face, Allen explained to Fengyun: "Mr. Feng, the development process of this windowing will take a long time.
Now, our products have been finalized. As long as they are debugged, they can be released in the New Year. As a businessman, you should know that only by continuously updating products can we capture the hearts of customers."
However, Fengyun laughed at this time.
"No, no, no, Bill, Allen, you may have misunderstood me.
The windowing I am talking about is not a concept of mine, but I already have a rough prototype."
Fengyun said something shocking, including Bill and Allen. Almost everyone looked at Fengyun as soon as he said it.
Except for Fengyun, who knows nothing, who canThose who attended this annual meeting were basically not technical novices.
Fengyun snapped his fingers, and Akagi Haruko took out a bunch of manuals from her briefcase and began to distribute them one by one.
"Bill, Alan, this is the prototype of the window I made. The completion degree has reached 90%. Basically, everything mentioned in this manual can be realized."
Bill, Alan and all other technicians took the manual handed over by Akagi Haruko and began to chew it carefully word by word.
Finally, they looked at Fengyun in disbelief.
"Mr. Feng, excuse me, do you mean that everything in this manual can be realized?" Bill asked nervously.
The bombshell thrown by Fengyun was really shocking.
"No, of course not. The things in this manual are certainly not achievable, but they have all been realized."
At this time, Haruko also took out a CD from her briefcase and handed it to Fengyun respectfully.
Fengyun put the CD on the table and gently pushed it in front of Bill.
"Bill, I think you should take a look at the contents of this CD, and then we can discuss it again."
An hour passed.
Bill and his group were still in shock.
"Oh my God, I really can't believe that someone has really made this kind of thing." Allen exclaimed.
"Yes, Allen, I think we should thank God. If this thing falls into the hands of our competitors, I think Microsoft can officially declare its closure."
Although Fengyun gave Bill and his team only the 1.0 version of Windows, and it was an overly castrated version, it had already given Bill and his team a huge shock here.
"Oh, Mr. Feng, you are really a mysterious oriental man. You have brought us enough shocks today." Bill said with a smile.
"Mr. Feng, if Microsoft wants to acquire your system, I wonder what price it should pay?"
Bill knew that pie in the sky would not fall, and everything had to pay off.
