C1628 Now the Future
Gates's decision could possibly affect the whole situation.
Gates was not in a hurry to answer. He looked at Qin Luo and asked, "Professor Qin, are you really going to send Berkeley to prison?"
"That's right."
"So, you mean we can only choose one between you and Berkeley?" ___ asked.
"Yes." Qin Luo nodded.
Gates smiled and said, "The current Berkeley can bring us a lot of business news and bring more profits to the company."
"Professor Qin, it is very difficult for us to cut off the stakes in this matter."
Yes, profits were like a rope that tied up the two of them tightly. In the end, no one could break free.
Qin Luo nodded to show that he understood. After a moment, he said, "That's why I call this decision a bet."
"He bet on the present and the future."
"Berkeley represents the present, and I represent the future."
That's right, Berkeley was more interested in bringing the current benefits.
What about Qin Luo?
He represented the future.
Now, the future?
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, Gates sank into a deep dilemma.
Qin Luo's ability was obvious to all. In just a short year, he had pushed the academic world forward for a few years.
Countless companies benefited because of Qin Luo.
What about Berkeley?
He represented the current Microsoft. According to his intel, Microsoft could increase profits by 5% every year. Although it was only 5%, it was still not a small amount if it was converted into cash.
Who should I choose?
Of course, Gates was not the only one who fell into deep thought. There was also Groves, Michael, Dell, and all the big shots in the world.
Although they often put forward the idea of setting up the future, they still couldn't help but hesitate when they placed this choice in their hands.
It couldn't be helped. On one hand, it was money, and on the other hand, it was the development of the future. It was very difficult for them to make a decision right now.
Just like that, the conference room fell into silence.
No one spoke. Everyone outside Burmington closed their eyes and thought seriously.
Regarding this, Qin Luo was not in a hurry. He stood where he was and quietly waited for everyone's decision.
Everyone present was a business tycoon. In terms of weighing the pros and cons, no one dared to admit that they were second. No one dared to admit that they were first.
Qin Luo believed that as long as they were given enough time, they could make a reasonable judgment.
"Humph, Qin Luo, I think you shouldn't waste your time. No matter what, you won't give up on Berkeley!" Burmington glared at Qin Luo fiercely and said sarcastically.
Not giving up?1
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Qin Luo's face.
"Mr. Burmington, you should know that not everyone is as short-sighted as you..."
"You..." Burmington clenched his fists and stared at Qin Luo. He said word by word, "Then we will wait and see."
"Wait and see..."
Drip, drip...
The clock on the wall kept beating, and time passed silently, minute by minute, second by second.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
As time passed, the smile on Burmington's face became brighter and brighter. He was confident that Gates would not agree.
"Qin Luo, give up. You won't have the chance..." Burmington said with disdain.
As a businessman, Burmington knew better than anyone else how important benefits were.
