46.6 billion world's richest man Bill Gates spend the whole process

The beginning of the article we look at China's Wenzhou copy of the Housing regiment and all over the country's fake hospitals, a few days ago with a few Wenzhou investors to negotiate, first they show us their three "buddies" each spend three million yuan to buy the furniture, is very luxurious, but in addition to the luxury of what is there??? Resources are human beings and no one has the right to waste resources!!! Bill Gates, with a net worth of $46.6 billion in his name, remains the top of the world's richest man, Forbes magazine said. But, surprisingly, the world's richest man does not have his own private driver, business travel not to fly first class but take economy class, clothing is not fastidious what brand name; even more incredible, he is also interested in discounted goods, not for parking more than a few dollars. For this "penny", so preoccupied, he is not "modern Aba (miser)"? But the other side of the story shows that Bill Gates is not the kind of covetous miser ——— For example, Microsoft employees are very high income, for example, for the public welfare and charity, donated a lot of money, he also said in his lifetime to donate 95% of the property ... It seems that the world's richest man and the kind of "a toss million gold, appearances wide" rich disparate. Is he the "alternative" of the rich? What ideas and rules do he hold about money? Read this article, we will have some understanding, or to realize something. Clothes do not ask for famous brand love to buy discounted goods when Linda first entered Microsoft, she was told that Bill was a very special person. Bill was a different person, and he could see it from his attitude toward money. For him, entrepreneurship is the journey of his life, wealth is the yardstick of his value quantification, he once said: "I am not working for money, money makes me feel very tired." "I am just the keeper of this wealth, and I need to find the most appropriate way to use it." "This is Bill's truest view of money. Mr. and Mrs. Gates in fact, money neither alters his life nor distracts him from his work. He often told his friends who asked him: "When you have 100 million dollars, you will understand that money is just a sign." Bill hated people who liked to spend money. "If you are accustomed to being overly enjoyable, you will not be able to live like ordinary people, and I want to live in common life," he said in a magazine. "Like all entrepreneurs, Bill is also investing in risk diversification, in addition to owning equities and bonds, and investing in real estate and other industries," he said. Although Bill is a business genius, but he never thought his finances were better, so he hired a "Golden Butler" ——— his more than 10-Year-old Lawson, who managed to manage the Bill-Melinda Charitable Foundation in addition to his 5 billion-dollar private investment. Bill always tells his wife that working hard is not just about money. He never thought about how to enjoy the huge fortune, but he was careful when he used the money. He doesn't like to change his own money.True character, living a qianhuhouyong life, he prefers to be free to interact with people independently. Even when they met their acquaintances, they greeted them as enthusiastically as before: "Oh, hello, let's go have a hot dog." "In life, Bill never had money to be ostentatious," he said. Once he went to the Hilton Hotel with a friend who was a few minutes late, so there was no parking space to accommodate their car. So his friend suggested parking in the hotel's VIP parking spaces. Bill disagreed, and his friend said, "I can pay for the money." "Bill still disagrees, the reason is very simple, the VIP parking space needs to pay 12 dollars, Bill thinks that it is a premium charge." Bill followed his words in his life: "Spend as much money as you want to cook." Less salt, vegetables will be tasteless, salt more, bitter salty difficult to swallow. "So even if it costs a few dollars, Bill has to give them the most benefit," he said. After marriage, Bill and Melinda seldom go to some luxurious restaurants and sometimes have to patronize some upscale restaurants because of their work needs. In general, they will choose KFC, or go to some cafes. Sometimes a small shop is frequented by some of the most distinctive shops in Seattle, with people from France, Russia, Japan, and some countries in South America. There are some special items in these countries that can be found. Once, Bill and Melinda came to a grocery store that was opened in Mexico. It is recognized as the most affordable store in Seattle, and as soon as it enters the shop, Bill is attracted by the "50% discount" slogan, which is indeed written on the large box of raisins cereal not far away. Bill doesn't seem to believe the price tag. Because the same goods in some local stores than here the price is one times higher. Bill wanted to know the truth of it, and he came forward and looked carefully. When he was sure it was real, he paid for it and told Melinda: "It seems to me that I'm glad I didn't get a lot of money today, as people say." "When it comes to clothes, Bill never values their brand or price, and as long as it feels comfortable, he likes it." Bill was invited to participate in a "summer party" organised by 32 of the world's top entrepreneurs, the time he wore a suit, this is the former Phuket in Thailand to buy a photo of his clothes, look good, but not the price of singers, film stars Wash clothes at once money. But Bill did not care about these, and was happy to wear the suit to attend the meeting, his Credo of life is: "A person just use his every penny, he can achieve career success, life happiness." "On weekdays, if there are no particularly important meetings, Bill will choose slacks, collar shirts and his favorite sneakers, but none of them are brand names." Not rich enough to be rich. Bill believes that his success is only related to individual efforts, but not to the amount of money. Indeed, Bill's almost all of his entrepreneurial money was earned by himself while he was at school, and never reached out to his parents. Almost everyone admires him for that. Now, Microsoft employees are earningIncome, even in the United States is the highest. Bill also never skimp on paying employees some bonuses. As early as the start of the business, the general manager of the company's annual salary reached 220,000 dollars, and at that time, Bill received only 130,000 dollars a year. He believes that his contribution to the company is not the biggest. There are still some unbelievable numbers in Microsoft that will generate dozens of millionaires a year for thousands of employees. Bill thought that the money was just a sign of their success, and besides, he didn't see any point in it. No matter in life, or at work, when problems arise, Bill will not first think of money to dissolve everything. He did not even have his own personal driver, and he never had a charter trip. For him, money loses its allure to the average person, he always maintains a sober mind. He also acknowledges that his views and ways of doing things may not seem to be an example to many people. Melinda once complained that "our family is so special that it always gets the blame, and they say you're a pushy person." Bill smiled and told Melinda: "This is inevitable, when I was in school, some people said I was a uppity, but I do not think so." I cherish every penny, I have always been like this. "Bill's parents are financially rich, what do they think of their son's wealth?" he said. Whenever someone asked Bill for this question, Bill always replied with a joke: "I don't show it to them, I'll hide the money, bury it under the lawn, and now the turf is bulging, I hope it doesn't rain." "Everyone knows that it is impossible to rain in Seattle in summer." Later, Bill took his point seriously: "The money I make doesn't mean anything to my parents, really, my money has no effect on my relationship with them." If any of us get sick, we can ask the best doctor, and the money will be a little bit useful at this point. But normally, we don't talk about money. "Indeed, even now he rarely talks about family money, but he has assured Melinda that he will donate 95% of his fortune in his lifetime," he said. As we all know, Bill and his wife love their children very much, but they are definitely a miser in satisfying some of their children's demands. Bill never gave the children a handsome sum of money, and when his youngest son, Lori, could not spend any money, she complained that his parents would not buy the toy car he wanted most. Bill has his own opinion, he thinks: No more rich can not rich children. Indeed, the children who grew up in the notes, their pampered will eventually make them nothing. So bill and the couple would rather donate the money to the people who need them the most, and not give it to their children. Bill even publicly stated: "I will not leave all my possessions to my heirs, because it will not do them any good." "The cost of the money is not stingy at the expense of private money, Bill.Often, but in career, sometimes he would do a lot of money to let his products into the city often at first, Microsoft's DOS, Windows software is paired with the PC, which allows buyers of computers to produce an idea: These software is completely free, and ultimately make Windows system software has a market share of up to 90%. When Microsoft launched DOS, IBM cooperated with several of its selected software companies, but the operating system was purchased as accessories, and consumers could decide which products to buy. In particular, when the competition is fierce, Bill will do whatever it takes to get the market, at which point he doesn't care about the money. When it comes to capturing the DOS market, other software prices are at $50-100 trillion, and Bill will launch its own offering at a price close to free, or $1.5. Because of the popularity of Microsoft's operating system, customers will believe that these systems are well integrated and will buy Microsoft's other software together. When the Internet gradually developed, Microsoft in order to seize the Web browser software market with Netscape, Bill decided to give free customers a large number of software, manuals and free telephone service. Netscape's marketing, by contrast, appears conservative. Although these have made Microsoft lose a lot of money, however, it has gained a large share of the city often do marketing people, will understand that the problem of product sales is particularly important to some small companies, if the sale of their products at a very low price, it is also very dangerous for them. But Bill made it clear that once his product became an industry standard, it would have incalculable value, so he kept telling Melinda not to spend less on marketing. Microsoft's employees are very frugal, the one thing that makes Linda feel most deeply in economy class. So some people call it the "philosophy of Hunger" in Microsoft. Bill told his staff: "Every penny we earn is hard-earned, it is our hard-earned money, so should not be spent, should be spent on the edge." "From the start of Microsoft's business, Bill is very focused on thrift. Once, Weiland, who was Microsoft's president, decorated his office very well, and Bill was very angry when he saw it, and thought it was totally unnecessary for Weiland to spend the money on it. He told Weiland that Microsoft is still in the entrepreneurial period, if the formation of such a wasteful style, not conducive to the further development of Microsoft. Even as Microsoft became the industry's highest-turnover company, Bill's style had not changed. In 1987, when Bill and Wimblede were dating, they dated at a restaurant, and the assistant booked a very luxurious room for him at the hotel. As soon as he entered the room, Bill was in a daze, a large bedroom, two lounges, a kitchen, and a large and spacious parlor for the reception of guests. Bill was so angry that he couldn't help saying, "What the hell is that?" "Bill is busy all year round, sometimes one weeks to the five country to convene more than 10 meetings." Every time he flew, he usually took economy class, without specialHe would never take first class. On one occasion, in the United States Phoenix computer exhibition, Bill was invited to attend. The organizer gave Bill a first class cabin ticket beforehand, and Bill, after knowing it, didn't agree with them and then switched to economy class. On another occasion, Bill was going to Europe to hold a show, and he once again asked the organizers to replace first class tickets with economy class tickets. Bill rarely goes home for lunch, and he usually eats hamburgers at the company for lunch, which has become a habit. On one occasion, the office came to a new secretary named Riqqa, in order to celebrate her birthday, Bill deliberately with her, as well as Miliana Lu and several other staff to a luxury hotel, everyone ordered wine and flavor dishes, only bill ordered wine and hamburgers. Melinda later complained: "Why don't you order some food, you will make Riqqa feel embarrassed." Bill smiled and said, "I like hamburgers, I don't think about that." "Bill never seemed to be a rich man in peacetime with his employees, and he often told people that he was more excited about being a" pioneer and leader in the software industry "than being rich. He doesn't like to hang everything with money and think of money as a panacea. Once, when he was at the meeting, the host rented him a limousine, and he refused, then rented a very ordinary car to be at Microsoft, Bill has become an employee, especially some new employees, his style infected many people. So the simplicity of Microsoft employees is also famous. This is not to say that bill stingy, or stingy, he is in the exercise of his willpower, but also in the cultivation of staff pioneering spirit, no doubt this is a very valuable spirit.
