November 26.
Several events were decisive for people to be able to develop among them is the use of key moments that can develop unseen joint ideas that are outstanding above common items.
Since 1983, Bill Gates has been closely watching the video game companies. His idea became stronger when Atari faltered, and he has had the idea of creating a video game company for some time now. He has encountered many problems lately, and one of them is the fact that constant business struggles have ended up distracting his time, with the advance of Sony, a company he fears because of its great infrastructure that already shows signs of being a video game company and is fighting to expand its uniformity in all aspects.
But, they can enter the computer gaming business, something they have been doing in recent years. Creating computer games to help develop people's gaming skills, such negotiations are urgent on two fronts.
Then there is the fact that one person owns 9.8% of the company's shares and has a video game company. For Bill Gates, this is a sign. If he wants to expand his business, he would first enter the board of directors and propose a special list to create a gaming subsidiary. The guy who wants to carry out this activity is a guy who does not know much about prudence and sensitivity.
However, they were very clear. They needed to talk to the kid and part of the company's shares. At this point, he was the fourth-largest shareholder. Bill Gates and his partner each own 30% of the shares, and soon those shares will grow again due to the momentum. At least another 300 million shares.
Seattle was beautiful, and it could be called Microsoft's lair. Billy went out to breathe the warm air that still existed in the city, despite the inherent problems they had in the unnecessary cold.
-Do you want to wait for me at the hotel? - Billy asked Gwyneth.
-Business meeting? - she asked.
Billy nodded. - This meeting is serious, proposed not only by a great future entrepreneur but also for his interests in the future. -
- But we'll stay for three days and take some walks. I don't think I'll have more than three meetings, but several topics will be discussed. For now, we can sneak out at night and do some activities, - Billy hugged Gwyneth. - How about you find a good restaurant while I take care of business until night? -
-Well, sounds like a fair deal, - Gwyneth said.
At the negotiation meeting, Staya Nadallea, along with Paul Allen and Bill Gates, listened to Billy's words with quite impressive pride. Less than ten minutes ago, Billy proposed the creation of a video game company, and until they sign a business agreement, Billy won't say a word to resolve its negotiable aspects.
-Do you want to sign a company creation agreement? - asked Staya Nadallea.
-Yes, as long as it is about Microsoft. You already know my thoughts on the company, the path you choose is the right one. I have great faith in the company, and you are on your way to becoming a much larger company with your technology, software, and hardware; you are the company that will dominate the future. Although I have ideas with some companies that can make them compete if they can behave against you properly, - said Billy.
Braim Chard remained incredulous at the young man's very sagacious words, which were different from most people. Like his bosses, they took the direction of a company and trusted that such direction was the right one. They didn't look back, only forward.
Billy Gates only lamented not having a daughter the age of the kid. He would raise the Gates surname to one of the great families of the United States. Arrogance was typical of Americans, as mentioned in a meeting once, however, it was forgiven for the youth's vigor, which enchanted many entrepreneurs but made many enemies.
-Braim, you can go and draft an agreement for the creation of a company, - said Paul Allen, seeing his partner's nod of agreement.
-In a moment, sir, - said Braim.
-Can you bring me some sheets? I want one along with a pen, - said Billy.
They didn't hesitate, along with the shelf, a ream of sheets, and a pen on the desk. Twenty minutes had already passed in the meeting, first talking about all kinds of topics. Microsoft's services were gigantic, and every part of the meeting contained numerous differences about all the services offered by the company, which expanded its services day by day. For now, the computer model, processors, and CPUs, offer work tools.
Meanwhile, Billy quickly performed an activity from a black box with a blue X in the middle, kicking off the x-box series, with the colors of Lux Comics, and a brief identification of how the game controls should be, along with a plan of how to integrate into the gaming market, which in the coming years will be one of the best investments that can be made.
Putting it in a certain way, it can only supply the company by 50% - 50%, as the company is allied. It's the best way to put things; however, he believes that with great care and dedication, he can change that result. To invest in it, I must lay my cards on the table.
The contract for the creation of a video game company came to light, the reading of a simple contract, a promising offer that is enough for Billy. A contract for a video game company supported by Microsoft, along with it, the agreement also had terms of capital investment, such as the creation of a company for the creation of consoles, and video games.
-Very well, to create a video game company, what do you think is the most important objective? The first one is to look at multiple companies and their commercial successes, the most successful company is Nintendo, they use a clear tactic, market updates, they usually deliver graphic developments, and technical developments of video game consoles, and year by year they are thinking of better ways to design the best video games that fit their consoles, on the one hand, such updates seem minimal, they set the standard of fashion for video game culture. - said Billy. knowing that this was nothing new
-The next step is 3D gaming, however, if possible, these updates should be guided in a certain direction, and the right direction is the use of available platforms. I believe that in five years, we will see all kinds of video games developed on these platforms that progressively surpass the current ones. Not far off, maps, characters, and gameplay will approach virtual reality to seem as real as possible. The clear path to follow is a machine that can read games with better graphics, followed by one that can handle larger memory spaces. Thirdly, the machine must have development software of at least - said Billy.
-Our company that is getting involved should focus on another important aspect if it wants to stand out. The first is that we don't have a video game cultivation market. Our North American presence is nascent; Japanese companies tend to outshine us. They have multiple companies that are creating video games year after year. If we look at the second success, it's creating appealing games for kids. You can see that Nintendo has used its franchises to expand its dominance while expanding its video game dominion. They add companies nearby due to improvements in their machines. Both Sega, Capcom, and Konami, can be seen as dominated by Nintendo. However, with Sony's entry, the development time is different. Still, they have an obvious advantage because they have started to exploit their series as activity markets, i.e., Mario. Using Mario as the main source and creating multiple games based on this series. Nintendo's face is Mario, and with Mario, they can be called leading companies. At one point, Sega tried the same with Sony, but they lost disastrously. - said Billy.
He handed them the blank sheet with the square console; there were two special points: 128 MB RAM - 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit game reading. The next point is a 3D image reading graphics processor for exclusive games, and quality control terms, any game cannot enter without a filter to avoid disappointing buyers, marketing proposals, and custom design.
-You have a very interesting insight into game development. But even we don't have such insight for our computers, nor such complex readings, - mentioned Bill Gates.
-It doesn't matter to do it now; for now, it's better to focus on expanding software companies and contractual agreements, investments aimed at buying game companies, along relevant research. Next year, there are rumors of big game machines being released to the market. This presupposes an indiscernible leap about the path video games should take. Let's make money in game sales while we await the growth of our companies. We can start with consoles of 8 bits - 64 MB, but I would recommend making them for portable consoles. - said Billy.
-Do you believe in the company's success? - asked Bill Gates.
-Yes, but not now. We need examples and a plan from there. For now, the game company can start making joint purchases of software companies. However, let's partner for now; much later, we can start a company when they see the achievements. For now, as an alliance, I can create some special games that can be sold with the next Microsoft software as a guarantee. - said Billy.
-The next Microsoft software? - asked Paul Allen.
-You've made updates every 3 or 4 years; I believe that next year or in 1996, you will make a new update. If you allow me, I can create a game for the next software as an alliance. Of course, I won't give you the game for free, and I'll license it for two software updates, totally free as a gesture of goodwill, - said Billy.
-A very good talk. In the next ones, you make assertions that are not yet true, like our software, which is very accurate, and I suppose you'll also hit the mark with Nintendo. Sony is a question mark? However, it is correct to wait and see a development sample is the most important thing for us, - said Bill Gates.
Paul Allen, seeing all of Billy's proposals, could see that Bill's test was to wait, to wait for the coming years, and to follow the boy's predictions.
-We'll add special clauses; if you hit the mark and your projections are correct, you'll be welcomed into the game company we want to create, - said Paul Allen.
-Very well, then that will be all, - said Billy.
Seeing the uncertainty between the two individuals, the reference pen was clear; with fairness, I understand that these gentlemen partially believed his story.
