"This contract is yours to issue. In fact, it doesn't matter where the contract is issued, as long as everyone agrees with the content of the contract."

Fang Chen waved his hand and said casually.

He didn't know when Bill Gates would come to him to buy shares, so he naturally didn't have a contract drawn up in advance that he could print out and use.

As for Bill Gates, who is the initiator, and judging from this meaning, he has obviously already prepared the contract, so he won't have much trouble.

Sure enough, just ten minutes after Fang Chen and the others were drinking tea and chatting, Bill Gates' secretary sent in a contract.

Fang Chen didn't even look at it and let Wu Maocai continue.

As the secretary responsible for all his documents, Wu Maocai already knew things like contracts very well.

Besides, he is not alone. Behind him is Qingtian's huge team of legal and economists. These supporting forces are enough to ensure that all contracts signed by Qingtian will not have any potential problems that they are unaware of.

Unfavorable factors.

Fifteen minutes later, Wu Maocai came back with the contract. Fang Chen took a look at it and then handed it to Bill Gates.

Some simple modifications have been made above to make it more beneficial to him, or to eliminate some potential responsibilities.

After Bill Gates took a look at it, he didn't say anything and handed it to his secretary again.

For such a large contract that can cost more than a billion dollars, especially if it is signed in a hurry, it is normal for both parties to have some issues and have different opinions.

In fact, according to the normal share transfer and acquisition, it is impossible without investigating three or four months in advance, writing a thick contract, and negotiating word for word.

It's just that he has already done the preliminary investigation. He knows that Netscape has no big problems, and he also knows Fang Chen. In addition, he wants to rush to acquire Netscape's shares, for fear of what will happen after it goes public.

Moth, so these tedious things are avoided.

Within twenty minutes, Bill Gates' secretary brought the contract over again and nodded to Bill Gates.

The changes made by Qingtian in the contract are not important, and they all agree with it, so there is nothing wrong with the contract.

Besides, there is nothing in the contract. It is that Fang Chen, Marc Andreessen, and Jim sold 20% of Netscape's shares to the two of them for US$1.6 billion, and then Marc Andreessen and Jim,

Signed by Fang Chen.

As Fang Chen, Bill Gates, and Metsu signed their names on the contract, Bill Gates and Metsu couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fang Chen smiled and said to the two of them: "Congratulations to both of you. From now on, we are all a family, eating from the same pot."

"I didn't expect that someone would invest in a company with Fang and you," Metsu said with a sigh on his face.

The first time he came into contact with Fang Chen was just because Fang Chen was the richest man in the world. Contact with Fang Chen was something that was beneficial to him. Maybe some time, this good relationship would come in handy.

But he never expected that one day he would get involved with Fang Chen in the matter of investing in a company, and it was only because of him that he begged Fang Chen and spent a lot of money to make it happen.

Fang Chen and Bill Gates looked at each other, and both had a faint smile on their lips.

Compared with Metsu, they have already cooperated, for example, using WPS in exchange for 8% of the net profit of Microsoft Office software.

However, after two years of Microsoft's hard work in China and the results achieved, Bill Gates gradually realized that the Chinese market described by Fang Chen was not as good as he imagined.

Although China's population accounts for more than one-fifth of the world's population, there is not much interest in purchasing Windows operating software and Microsoft Office software.

It’s not that those Chinese people think that Microsoft’s operating system and office software are not good, or that there are too few computers.

Although China's computer penetration rate is indeed not very high, which is the level of a standard African country, in fact, the number of personal computers in China has reached tens of millions.

Unexpectedly, even Lenovo, which is not well-known internationally and can only be regarded as a local Chinese computer company, has produced and sold more than one million computers.

But the Chinese people don't seem to have any awareness of authenticity. They are more interested in buying a pirated CD for ten yuan from street vendors.

Since everyone is buying pirated optical discs, Microsoft cannot make any money.

Thinking of this, Bill Gates glanced at Fang Chen subconsciously. He always felt that those small merchants and hawkers had a great relationship with Fang Chen.

After all, Fang Chen is the largest optical disc manufacturer in China. According to his understanding, Fang Chen's optical disc factory has an annual optical disc production capacity of 500 million pieces.

However, according to common sense, it shouldn't be.

Assuming that all Chinese people use genuine Windows operating systems and genuine Microsoft Office software, the money Fang Chen can get should be far more than selling CDs.

How much can a CD be sold for? Five yuan is a big deal, and the 8% net profit of Microsoft Office software is at least ten US dollars, which is nearly twenty times that of selling CDs.

Which one can make more money, and which one should Fang Chen choose, seems self-evident, and there is no need to be too entangled.

Furthermore, although there are many computers in China, the average income is too low, and it is normal for them to not be able to afford genuine Microsoft operating systems and office software.

If he strongly demands that all Chinese products must be genuine, he may very well have to face tens of millions of Chinese people choosing other operating systems.

Based on the tens of millions of computers in China and the lessons learned from WPS, he felt that once Microsoft did this, it would be cultivating future competitors for Microsoft.

Therefore, piracy is piracy.

In addition, although Microsoft's sales in China were not as good as expected, it was Fang Chen who signed the contract with him after all.

There must be a lot of interest disputes between the two of them in the future. In addition, he did not pay all of the 8% of the net profit, so he did not mention canceling the contract with Fang Chen and not giving Fang Chen the 8% of the net profit.

Profits have been suffering from dumb losses.

In fact, Bill Gates thought wrong. Although Fang Chen did not take the initiative to pirate Microsoft operating systems, he did not refuse to let the optical disc factory make molds and produce optical discs for Microsoft operating systems.

As for why this is the case, it is because Fang Chen knows very well that given the situation in China, it is impossible to buy genuine copies. It is impossible to buy genuine copies in a lifetime. He can only buy some pirated operating systems and office software in order to continue using them.

What a computer looks like.

The contract has been signed, and a thought in his heart has finally been settled. Fang Chen is not a stingy person, so naturally he wants to treat Bill Gates and Metsu to dinner.

And in order to celebrate, ten kilograms of giant lobster with two abalones was served to the table for free, and Fang Chen also asked someone to open a bottle of lobster produced in the 1970s, which was praised as the best in the past fifty years.

The best vintage of Romanée-Conti.

Bill Gates and Metsu couldn't help but look at Fang Chen with a hint of surprise from time to time.

It's not that they think these things are expensive. For people of their status, they are no longer constrained by the price of food.

To put it bluntly, there are no more than fifty senior senators and direct descendants of the Rockefeller family among the world's richest people worth tens of billions of dollars among the living Americans, but they have not even achieved food freedom. That's a joke.

However, it is a bit strange that these things came from Fang Chen's hands.

It's not like Fang Chen has never invited them to dinner, but the standard of the meal has never been as high as it is now, which makes them both feel scared and uncomfortable when eating, for fear that Fang Chen is secretly holding something bad.

But after three rounds of drinking, and under the influence of delicious food and fine wine, the two of them gradually relaxed their vigilance. They even felt that it was probably because the contract was signed that Fang Chen was particularly happy.

Besides, isn’t a big contract worth 1.6 billion US dollars worthy of these?

As soon as he thought of it, Metsu forked a piece of juicy and delicious abalone, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance.

He wanted to eat it back hard and turn all the bullying he suffered from Fang Chen into an appetite.

After a while, when he saw that the food was almost there, Fang Chen said with a smile: "How do you two eat?"

"It's very good, thank you for the hospitality." Bill Gates rubbed his stomach and said casually.

Although he was not as vengeful as Metsu, he still ate a lot more than usual.

"Then I have a question for you. Are we friends?" Fang Chen suddenly asked seriously.

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into a dead silence. Even Bill Gates and Metsu stopped rubbing their stomachs, and there was even a bit of panic on their faces.

After a few breaths, Bill Gates turned his head with some difficulty, his face was stiff, and he said with a fake smile: "Fang, are you kidding me? Of course we are friends."

To be honest, if possible, he would not want to admit that he is Fang Chen's friend at this time. After all, the question Fang Chen just asked sounded wrong.

But considering the 1.6 billion US dollar contract he had just signed, the mess on the table, and the fact that he could vaguely tell that these were expensive ingredients, as well as his full belly, he really couldn't tell if it wasn't Fang Chen's friend.

"It's good that they are friends. When friends encounter problems, you must help them, right?" Fang Chen asked with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

But when this smile fell into their eyes, it was almost the same as Grandma Wolf's smile, which made people shudder.

But now, as the saying goes, they have no chance of refusing, so Bill Gates had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod.

"Actually, it's nothing big. It's just a small thing that I need your help with."

Looking at the miserable looks of the two people, Fang Chen suppressed the smile in his heart while suing Hasbro Company. Then he sent someone to negotiate with Hasbro Company to obtain authorization, but the other party

But he offered him a sky-high price of 10 million US dollars and told the two of them.

Although they thought this matter was really nonsense, the two of them gradually relaxed as they listened.

As long as Fang Chen doesn't cheat them out of money again, or does anything else related to them.

As for Hasbro, a company like this that is not ranked among the top 500 companies in the United States. No matter what happened to Fang Chen, it is not a big deal.

After pondering for a few seconds, Bill Gates asked: "Fang, how do you want us to help handle this matter?"

"Help me acquire a part of Hasbro's shares and make me become Hasbro's major shareholder. Among the existing shareholders, the proportion that supports me must exceed 51%. I think this small favor will be of great help to you two.

It’s nothing, right?” Fang Chen asked with a smile.

"Hasbro's major shareholder and supporters hold more than 51% of the shares, Fang, are you kidding me?"

Bill Gates took a breath. He had already thought about many solutions to this matter, but he never expected that Fang Chen would actually do this.

Hasbro is just trying to extort some money from Qingtian because of the infringement and seeing Qingtian's huge size. But Fang Chen is so good. He directly wants to take over Hasbro. It's really crazy.

.

For a moment, Bill Gates truly felt that the deviant things he had done were nothing compared to Fang Chen.

"No, do you think I'm joking about this?" Fang Chen asked with a smile.
