Bill Gates’s story on the road to entrepreneurship

The world-renowned Microsoft company did not even have a formal office at the beginning of its business. Bill Gates always felt very emotional at this time. He said that in his most difficult stage of entrepreneurship, his secretary Lubao removed many obstacles in his work and allowed him to devote himself to the industry.

"邂逅" older female secretary

At the time, Microsoft was basically a young person. These people were very good at doing business and selling. However, no one could be patient with the chores of housekeeping and management.

Once, in order to receive the upcoming HP personnel, Gates rented a four-room office in the center of Yakekeki, but it was still empty.

Gates mobilized everyone to look for office supplies overnight, and they personally installed terminal equipment. But these, for his first secretary, a young female college student, does not seem to be her job, and a lack of indifference makes Gates a big headache.

He deeply felt that for the young people of the company who are rude and ruthless, there should be a eager and innocent female secretary who can take care of the logistics work. I can’t always let them divide this. heart of.

Soon, Gates recruited Wood in his office and asked the female secretary he needed to find it. Wood even handed in the application information of several young women, and Gates shook his head again and again.

He is eager to see the female secretary's skill, stability, and ability, but not interested in vase-style young women. "Is there no better candidate than them?" Gates disappointedly asked Wood.

Wood hesitantly handed out a piece of information to Gates: "This lady has done a lot of logistical work such as secretarial, file management and accountant, but she is too old and has a family drag, I am afraid..." After Wood finished, Gates had already read the application information and left the sentence "It’s her" and then went away.

In this way, Gates’ second female secretary, 42-year-old Lu Bao, took office. She is the mother of four children. She did not place much hope when she came out to apply. After years of housework, she hopes to go back to society and pursue the value of self again.

In the days of "Doll Company"

When Lu Bao entered the company, he felt that the atmosphere of this company was a bit strange: the general company asked the secretary to be a young and beautiful woman, and it was incredible that she was hired at such a large age.

One morning a few days later, Lu Bao sat in his position and saw a boy squatting directly into the chairman's office. When she was in front of her, she just greeted her, as natural as a child treated her mother. Then play with the computer in the office.

Because Wood had previously reminded her that it was strictly forbidden for any idler to enter Gates' office to operate the computer, so she immediately told Wood that a child had broken into the chairman's office.

Wood said indifferently: "He is not a child, he is our chairman."

"What, he is Bill Gates?"

"Yes."

Lu Bao returned to his office, and after a few minutes, he did not give up, and ran to ask Wood: "I'm sorry, how old is Gates?"

"21 years old."
