However, it is a future thing to completely let Apple fall. There is no need to hurry now. Even if it is hurry, it is useless. Because of the actual taste, I know every step of Jobs' strategy to save Apple, and I only need to take the lead in the future.

What surprised Jester was that Bill Gates was actually a fan of video games, which he really didn't know before.

Although I have heard rumors about this, the reason why Microsoft wanted to enter the electronic game industry was even willing to lose $2 billion every year, in addition to the fact that the electronic game market is really worth this effort, it is also because of Bill Gates' personal reasons.

You know, Bill Gates first came into contact with computers through games.

"What is your favorite game?" Jester asked curiously. He was very curious about what kind of games people like Bill Gates would have a special liking for, and Bill Gates' answer did not disappoint Jester, which was really beyond his expectations.

"Am I?"

After hearing Jester's question, Bill Gates pointed to himself first, then smiled, and said, "My personal hobbies are still different from those of the public... My favorite game dealers "Mine Sweeping" and "American Cubes". I think these two games are simply an explosion of programmers' wisdom fireworks, which is so incredible imagination."

After hearing this, Jester silently said that these two games were indeed as Bill Gates said, simple, direct and interesting, and were directly related to the most essential fun of the game. He himself admired the people who could develop such games.

Of course, it was in his original world, not in this world.

"Mine Sweeping" has been bundled with Microsoft's system software. You can get a certain commission for every copy of Mars Entertainment sold. The commission is not high, but both parties are very satisfied. However, there is currently no PC version except the arcade version, Dreambox version and gamneboy version.

Although there are many enthusiasts of this game who cracked the kernel of this game and wrote the PC version by themselves, and they can play games on the PC, but there is no official version after all.

Bill Gates said this, obviously he is very interested in it.

Jester also heard the hidden meaning in Bill Gates' previous sentence. As far as he knew, in the world he knew, Bill Gates was indeed very interested in promoting games. For example, the original "Mine Sweeping" was a game bound to the above. For example, before the release of win95, Microsoft was almost boycotted by everyone. Even at the win95 promotion conference, the supporters of Dos in the audience promoted the benefits of win95 and shouted in unison on the stage, relying on Carmack's "Thor Hammer" at the time to turn the situation around.

The examples later became clearer and clearer. Microsoft itself joined the army of game development. At first, it was the development of PC games, and then in order to promote one of their programs, it was planned to develop xbox. Now Bill Gates may be very interested in games. However, he is not determined to enter this industry and wants to cooperate more closely with Jester.

"Is the PC version of "American Square"?"

Jester said this with a smile, and Bill Gates nodded slightly after hearing this. He did not say anything directly to admit it, but did not deny it. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "It's about to be launched. This is the first relatively mature version we jointly developed. Although it is a bit worse than Apple's visual operating system, we also want to open up the market. So I want to add "American Square" as a bundled game."

Many people in later generations thought that Microsoft's simplified, that is, windowed operating system started with win95, but this is not the case. Before win95 was launched, Microsoft had already invested nearly ten years of hard work in visual operating systems. They launched their first visual operating system at the end of the year after the release of Apple's Macintosh Computer, a commercial visual operating system computer in the world.

This operating system that is not well-known and not many people have heard of later was named after win, and the name is very simple, and it is even like a test code name, but unfortunately, the operating system ended in failure.

The version that really made the win system famous is that win was very mature at this time, and win95 was just a natural result after adding the audio and video entertainment function. Before the official release of win95, Bill Gates promoted the audio and video entertainment function that he advocated was the promotion of Carmack.

Jester still attaches great importance to "American Squares", because he really knows the potential of this game. It can be said that so far, the value he can have is less than one-tenth of the real game.

Such as arcades, home machines, or now Bill Gates is interested in the PC version of "American Squares" that is not what Jester values. The total sales of Dreambox version of "American Squares" have been more than 4 million copies, which is indeed an incredible achievement, because many extremely well-produced games have only only one or two million copies. A game that has been on sale for a long time and is not very difficult to make can actually sell more than 4 million copies, and it is even close to five million copies.

But for Jester, that's all.

In his eyes, what he values ​​most is the handheld version and the mobile version that may exist in the near future. It may be a bit far away for the mobile version, but the power of the handheld version has been seen by Jester from the gameboy that has just been released.

Although "American Square" is released on the bundled gameboy, it is not charged for players, but with the bundled "American Square", this game that is extremely suitable for fragmented time and can be played at any time. It is really suitable for the palm machine carrier.

The terrible sales of 7 million gameboys a month made everyone even more upset. In order to meet the terrible order quantity of gameboys required by Mars Entertainment, Hon Hai Electronics even turned down many orders from PC companies such as Comber. You should know that in order to get the order from Comber, Mr. Guo even set up a branch directly next to Comber's headquarters in order to get the order from Comber.

This allows Comber to produce physical products immediately once they come up with the design. Even Guo, a company that values ​​such a value, has turned down a lot of money. Although there is a reason why Jester is now the second shareholder of Hon Hai, as a company that aims to make profits and even turns off the good computer brand he has done, the profits that Jester can bring to him have exceeded that of Comber.

Jester did not consider this issue for a long time when facing Bill Gates. In fact, he didn't think much about it. After all, the copyright of the PC was not what he liked. This is one of them. Secondly, although mine sweeping has been successfully developed for many years, Carmack was still a teenager when he made this game. Now he has entered Mars Entertainment, serving as the development director of 3D engines, and even the second producer of the game "Thor Hammer", but this game is not very famous.

At the beginning, this game was taken through his cooperation with Dell and used the bundled sales of Dell's computers. The effect was good at that time, and Dell did have extremely high talent in promoting computers. Of course, he was also very talented in cheating venture capital. Although Jester wanted to keep Dell's shares, he felt that Dell himself was definitely unwilling. He didn't know what method he was thinking about was planning to cheat his shares, and he didn't have so much experience in scheming with Dell.

Therefore, when Dell asked a few months ago whether he was interested in selling the shares in his hands, he agreed without saying a word. The price of the sale was naturally very satisfied. Dell, which had just been listed, was not short of liquid funds. He was very strong about Dell. He bought the shares in his hands at a price much higher than the market price, which was a very good ending in the cooperation between the two.

In fact, after seeing Jester, after he cooperated with Sandy Will to acquire the commercial credit company, he had lost the rise of shares in most other companies such as Star of the Sky because he knew how powerful the future of this commercial credit company would be.

Now Sandy Will is planning to transform commercial credit companies into Travelers Group, the most powerful company on Wall Street in the future, is about to gradually surface.

Later, after Traveler Group merged with Citibank, it would have obtained at least 2% of Citibank's shares by relying on shares in Traveler Group, which is now called commercial credit companies. This number of shares is enough to become the executive director of Citibank, and even a very important executive director.
