Looking for business opportunities in the losing game

On January 23, 2019, Microsoft founder Bill Gates was invited to Norway to participate in a talk show.

Gates is pleased to go because he hopes to use this highly regarded TV show to promote the charity he is participating in. However, after the show began, Gates found himself completely ignorant of the control of wealth. The host, Frederick Ska, speaks humorous and sharp, step by step, and he is like a boat that has lost his course in the sea.

"Mr. Gates, it is said that your IQ is as high as 160, claiming to be the smartest person in the world. Then you dare to have a smart match with our Norwegian 'Chess Prince'?" "Gates has to take over. "This is a game without suspense, but I am willing to try."

For the sake of "fairness", the host Frederick proposed that the game set up a game, Gates has two minutes of thinking time, while the chess prince Carlson is only 30 seconds. At the start of the game, Gates first started with a yellow piece. However, after taking out three or four pieces of chess, Calitz felt that his strength was not enough, and the time for picking up the child was significantly longer. Carlson was able to perform with ease from start to finish, and every time Gates's pieces fell, Carlson quickly fell. When Gates’s ninth piece fell, Carlson did not hesitate to make a decision.

79 seconds, just 79 seconds! The former richest man in the world lost in front of hundreds of millions of viewers. Gates, who had always been smiling, was very embarrassed at this time.

At this point, the host continued to carry out the "offensive", "I would like to ask Mr. Gates, under what circumstances would you feel that you are not smart enough?" Gates still replied with a smile: "When playing chess with Carlson."

The program, as expected by the TV station, set a very high rating. However, no one would have thought that the day after the program was recorded, Microsoft introduced the super artificial wisdom chess software under the intent of Gates, adding another "a bucket of gold" to Microsoft.

As the world's top professional chess player, Carlson, it is expected that it is easy to win the Gates, although Gates has an extraordinary IQ. No matter who you are or how successful you are in your field, if you leave your familiar field, you are likely to lose.

Gates dares to accept the challenge of no suspense, and find new business opportunities in failure, which may be the magic weapon of his success.
