Grandpa Qiao clapped his hands and said, "Great idea. If I were still at Guozi Company, I would definitely pre-install it on computers."
"The space is only so big, how are you going to fit everything in?" Gates said with a hint of sarcasm.
Grandpa Qiao retorted directly, "Pack as much as you can, it's none of your business!"
Xing Baohua waved his hand and said, "The browser is just the beginning; search is the key."
"Search?" The two looked at Xing Baohua with the same question in their eyes.
"Yes, I thought of searching when I was setting up a scan in my security management software."
In my vision, a browser is a framework containing many functions, with search being just one of them. For example, with forums, if someone types in the word "forum," it can find the URL of any forum in the world.
As soon as Xing Baohua finished speaking, Gates said, "You mean to use this search engine to search and filter global websites to find forums or other things that people can provide?"
Gates asked in surprise?
Xing Baohua nodded, then shook his head, and said, "It's not a global search. For example, its function is limited to finding all words with 'BBS' in their names. This is a word/phrase search, which makes it easier for people who can't remember website addresses to access them."
Grandpa Joe suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Nice!"
Xing Baohua was startled. Then he heard Grandpa Qiao say, "If you search for 'Apple,' will it even find Newton? It certainly won't be Apple Inc.."
Xing Baohua interjected, "If you want to rank first in the search results, it costs one million US dollars a year. I'll make sure the Apple logo is at the top of Apple's search list every day."
Grandpa Qiao clapped his hands again, prompting Xing Baohua to complain, "Can't you just give a thumbs up?"
"This money-making idea has come up again, kid. What do you want to do with it?" Grandpa Qiao said with a smile, looking at Xing Baohua.
"This is the company's second most profitable project. Joe, set up a separate department and spend one, two, or three years developing it. Try to shrink it down into the system."
Just as Xing Baohua finished speaking, Gates interjected, "That's a good idea. Windows comes with this kind of browser, and all computers in the world come with it from the factory."
"Microsoft needs to pay for it, and will give it to you at the licensing price."
"I'm helping you promote it, and I'm supposed to pay you?" Gates said, shrugging his shoulders.
Mr. Steve Jobs truly lives up to his title as CEO! He's already thinking about the company's interests so quickly.
Xing Baohua watched the two elders argue as if it were a show.
As for how Steve Jobs collected fees from Microsoft, Xing Baohua didn't care.
The other shareholders watched the two bickering with smiles; such a scene was a rare sight.
Afterwards, Xing Baohua spoke with the president of IBM about the speed of the data center construction.
The project here is quite large, so IBM put a lot of effort into building the servers, to the point that they could even give up their computer business.
Actually, selling computers is quite profitable. The main problem is that IBM didn't put much effort into it. If they had someone like Steve Jobs who was more ambitious, the business wouldn't have declined or even suffered losses, which made the higher-ups think it would be better to just sell it.
Now that IBM and Motorola have joined the camp, Xing Baohua has many ideas that can be implemented. The most important thing is whether the browser can run.
If Xing Baohua were to do it himself, he would probably only have the idea, and even if he went through the trouble of making it happen, people would use security concerns to prevent him from going online.
With Microsoft and Apple acting as human shields, how great is that! As for the hardware, Motorola and IBM are perfectly capable of manufacturing it.
Xing Baohua kept making empty promises to these senior officials in order to stabilize morale.
The only remaining issue was the IPO. Morgan Stanley representatives happened to be there, and they took care of everything, so the shareholders didn't have to worry about it at all.
They also promised to make the pre-IPO shares look better before the listing, and to set a high opening price, while releasing more positive news.
It's a perfect software and hardware business chain that Xing Baohua can deploy at any time.
The day after the meeting, everyone went out to play golf.
This showed everyone Xing Baohua's skill in digging the ground. Everyone laughed, treating it as a joke, but there was no hint of mockery or disdain.
"Xing, you should hire a personal trainer. I know a good one, want me to introduce you?" Gates said with a smile.
“No need. To be honest, I only play a couple of rounds a year. You know, if I waste a second, I lose a hundred dollars. Do you know how much I lose playing with you guys?” Xing Baohua said, handing the club to the caddie and taking off his gloves to get water from the electric cart.
Everyone shook their heads and smiled helplessly.
That's not how you do it.
After the golf game, most of the shareholders dispersed.
Xing Baohua boarded his connecting flight to Los Angeles, where he wanted to see the luxury mansion he had bought.
Located in Beverly Hills, it was originally built by a super-rich man, and Xing Baohua took over the property.
It is said that the house cost 18 million US dollars to build. The super-rich man was affected by the stock market crash, and his net worth shrank significantly, so he wanted to sell the mansion.
Because of the high price, many wealthy people want to wait and see, and wait for the price to drop a little before making a purchase.
Unfortunately, she encountered Xing Baohua, a man who was not short of money. He had promised to get Zou Wenjuan a luxury house, but kept her waiting.
Now that the opportunity has presented itself, seize it now.
The location is also great, on a hilltop, and the yard is very large, with not only a swimming pool but also a helipad.
Xing Baohua would rather die than sell the helicopter.
That thing isn't used very often, and the annual cost is quite high.
Wasting money.
After Zou Wenjuan returned from her concert in Europe, she also wanted to go to Wall Street to find Xing Baohua. However, Xing Baohua was in trouble at the time, so to avoid some trouble, she was not allowed to go.
