Chapter 46 Verse 35 Single (3)

  "Jerry, are the things you just said true?" Tanaka Nana's eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement. Using manga to connect the world and creating eternity through fantasy! She had never thought that this little guy would have such grand plans!

  Jerry clasped his hands behind his head, looking up at the sky, "Of course it's true! Cai Cai Zi! So, we need money, a lot of money! Why didn't 1989 come sooner?"

  "1989? Why 1989?"

  Jerry suddenly realized he had misspoken, "Because in just two more years, our stock will double and we'll have a lot more money!"

  "Is it true?"

  "Of course, of course, haha~haha~"

  "Jerry, can you really achieve such a goal just by relying on your youthful IC?"

  "No way! So I need to tie them up one by one on the war chariot!"

  "Them? Including Marvel Comics?"

  "Yes! And there's Sanrio too! However, all of this will have to wait until after 1989! For now, IC is still young and we need to take it one step at a time!"

  When it comes to Sanrio, many people may not know about the company, but when it comes to the most expensive cat in the world, everyone will surely mention Kitty's name! Sanrio was founded in 1960 and in 1974, Sanrio's designer "gave birth" to Hello Kitty, Little Twin Stars, My Melody and other new personality characters. In 1976, the new designer Yuko Shimizu updated the second generation of Kitty, and since then, Sanrio has entered a period of rapid expansion! In 1984, Sanrio was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and in 1988, Sanrio's theme park "Sanrio Puroland" started construction in Tama City, Tokyo. It officially opened in 1990! Unfortunately, due to rapid expansion and lack of planning, the performance of the theme park industry was not ideal, and under the impact of the economic crisis, Sanrio suffered a heavy blow! In 1992, Sanrio's stock price fell to its historical low of 600 yen! Sanrio's decline continued until 1995 when the new generation of Kitty appeared, which marked a turning point for the company.

  Sanrio has a very perfect gift planning, development and sales field, which is what Jerry needs! And Jerry's park plan is also what Sanrio company yearns for! However, all of this needs to wait until 1992, that will be Jerry's time to make his move!

  Washington State, Seattle, Redmond City.

  "Hello, Ms. Tanaka Nanako, I never thought you were so young, please forgive my rudeness! Bill Gates, you can call me Bill!"

  "Hello! Mr. Bill! This is Jerry Kim Roschelle, you can call him Jerry! He's my little son! You see, he came with me to the United States, so I couldn't leave him alone in the hotel!"

  "It's okay. Tanaka Nana-chan! Hey~ little one, hello!"

  "Hi! Good day, Mr. Gates!"

  Both sides have taken their seats!

  Bill Gates had sent invitations to Jerry several times, and he was indeed interested in this mysterious shareholder from the East! Of course, for Jerry, all of this depended on his schedule! In 1986, it was the initial creation period of Shonen Jump, and Nacchi wasn't mature yet, so everything needed him to take charge personally! Page design, manga review, printing contacts, publication communication, etc., all required him to do it himself! He didn't have any time to pay attention to Bill Gates' invitation at all! So, he just ignored it!

  However, after the gradual rise of IC and the completion of the loan plan with the five major banks, especially after receiving a letter from Steven Spielberg, Jerry felt that it was time to meet this future richest man in the world!

  In 1983, Apple applied the revolutionary input/output device mouse to its new product LISA, which inspired Bill Gates and made him realize the importance of a friendly graphical interface! On November 20, 1985, Microsoft released Windows 1.0 based on MS-DOS. However, at that time people liked operating systems GEM and DESQview/X, and Windows 1.0 did not receive users' favor, and the evaluation was also very poor! After that, Microsoft pushed out versions 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, and 1.04 this year, but like version 1.0, although Microsoft made progress, unfortunately, users didn't buy it!

  Jerry knew that in November of this year, the Windows version would release 2.0, which added graphics, overlapping windows, control screen layout, and combination shortcut keys, but 2.0 and its subsequent versions not only failed to gain support from software developers, but also dragged Microsoft into a four-year lawsuit with Apple!

  Jerry looked at Bill Gates, who was full of energy and thought to himself, "Maybe I can really give him some advice and make Windows take a bigger step!" How about directly entering Windows 95? Jerry's mouth curled up slightly. Even if he wanted to, it would require Intel's processor version and MS-DOS version to be more advanced, not to mention that the network was still in its infancy! However, those indispensable future trends, Jerry could still point out. For example, multimedia functions, network functions, instant software development toolkits (Software Development Kit), font functions, office software (Microsoft Office), plug-and-play, portable mobile storage, browsers, dynamic directories, network information services, system backups, system restoration, automatic updates, network meetings, firewalls, instant messaging software, and so on. Mr. Gates, are you ready to take the challenge?

  Taking Bill Gates' things to fool Bill Gates, this feeling is simply too shameless!

  "Mrs. Tanaka, I'm very curious, why would someone like you be interested in Microsoft! Forgive my impertinence, I know that you run a manga company and are involved in the manga publishing industry. The difference between the manga publishing industry and computers seems quite large!"

  "It's really huge, Mr. Gates! But you know what? Acquiring Microsoft shares was entirely his idea!" Tanaka Nana pointed her finger at Jerry, who was tilting his head to one side in thought, while keeping an eye on Bill Gates' astonished expression!

  "Yes, Mr. Gates, you didn't hear wrong. That's what he means, because my little son, Jerry, told me that he thinks Microsoft is very interesting and has a great future!"

  Bill Gates suddenly felt that this was too childish, just because a little kid thought Microsoft was fun and absorbed 9% of Microsoft's shares. Is Microsoft just a company that kids think is fun? This woman doesn't look like she has so much money that she can't spend it!

  "I apologize, Mr. Gates, if my previous words offended you! To be honest, I was also surprised when Jerry said that sentence! Because I couldn't possibly throw away the hard-earned money for his interests in a company! However, I agree with Jerry's words, a company's good or bad is determined by its growth potential, not its current situation! Therefore, I have done detailed research on Microsoft! Although I don't understand computers, this doesn't hinder my judgment of a company's development potential. Microsoft undoubtedly has strong potential stock, and the biggest secret weapon of this potential stock is Windows 1.0. And this secret weapon is exactly what Jerry is interested in!"

  "Is this little guy interested in Windows?"

  "Yes, Mr. Gates! Jerry has used the 1.04 version released by Microsoft, and here are his ideas for Windows! I think that if you can really implement all of Jerry's ideas, it will be very helpful to Microsoft!" Tanaka Nanako puts a file on the desk.

  "On the Existence of Windows 1.0, Improvement Plans and the Future Direction of Windows"

  Bill Gates flipped through it and said, "Hmm, what a wonderful expression!"

  And when this expression occurred, our protagonist, Jerry Kim Roschelle, was still in a daze, with silvery saliva dripping down from the corner of his mouth.

  "Jerry! Jerry!"

  Tanaka Nana quickly pushed him away, this little guy even drooling, unexpectedly so cute!

  Nanako-san, Nanako-san, is it true that you only have love for underage guys?

  Tanaka Nana suppressed the urge to hug Jerry tightly and gave him a secret OK sign!

  Jerry quickly wiped his mouth and straightened up, changing his demeanor!

  Bill Gates was more and more surprised, whoever this person is, his analysis of the problems with Windows 1.0 was absolutely spot on, extremely sharp, and the improved plan and future direction were even more exciting! He must be poached, he must be brought over, Bill Gates, who came from a technical background, could completely see the value in this person, if this person wasn't at Microsoft, then he would definitely become Microsoft's strongest competitor! He suddenly remembered what Tanaka Nana had said before.

  "Mrs. Tanaka, did this material really come from this little guy?"

  Tanaka Nana smiled and nodded slightly.

  "Mr. Gates, in my experience, Windows 1.0 is terrible, really terrible! There's no friendly interface, no humanized operation interface, I see tediousness, trouble, and boredom! It doesn't bring the high efficiency that using a computer should! Why would I want to use a computer then? You see, because of Mr. Gates' operating system, I've negated computers! Of course, while seeing these shortcomings, I also saw an advantage! From now on, I won't have to deal with tedious commands anymore! However, this is far from enough! Because Apple's GUI platform can do the same thing!" Jerry looked at a shocked and disbelieving Bill Gates, feeling that he was being too shameless.

  "Little guy, oh no, Jerry, are these things really your idea?"

  "Of course, Mr. Geitz! What do you think?"

  "This is simply too great!"

  "Great! Mr. Gates, we have a common language, at least there won't be a generation gap due to age differences!"

  "Generation gap?"

  "Look, you're over thirty this year, while I'm only seven. The gap between us is almost a generation! The difference in thinking between your generation and mine is what I call the generation gap!"

  "What an interesting definition!"

  "Since there is no generation gap between us, why don't we have a conversation with an attitude that adults would use?"

  "It's quite unusual for a kid to speak to himself in such a tone, Bill Gates is really too unaccustomed to it, however he is now a billionaire! Nevertheless, he still raised his hand, "Alright, that's what I wanted to say! So, let's talk about this material, shall we? Mr. Jerry?"

  "As you wish!"

  "The content of this material is astonishing to me, and the unique solution method makes me admire it greatly! The failure of Windows 1.0 series has made me think about the future of this platform at all times, although I firmly believe that tomorrow for Windows will be very bright, but honestly speaking, I don't see as clearly as you do! A friendly interface, a built-in software development tool package, and a dynamic directory - this is simply a stroke of genius!"

  "Absolutely right! Think about it, if there were only platforms but no software vendors' support, when users choose a platform, would they choose GUI or Windows? The answer is obvious!"

  ……

  Two men, one big and one small, were discussing a document with great enthusiasm! Even Jerry himself did not expect that as an art major otaku, he would have the opportunity to speak loudly in front of Bill Gates! If it weren't for his reclusive life before rebirth, which sparked his interest in assembly language and low-level C programming, he wouldn't be studying Windows source code. And yet, this reclusive life allowed him to sit confidently in front of the world's richest man, spitting out a few sentences with flying saliva.

  This feeling is really too shameless, too cool!
