Features: Bill Gates is enviable—this Harvard dropout, crowned as the Microsoft Emperor, created the greatest miracle of the 20th century. Bill Gates is infuriating—offending all competitors and partners, finding himself besieged, condemned, sued by the U.S. Department of Justice and 19 states, with his company nearly dismantled. Bill Gates is detested, curious, and bewildering. Bill Gates is admirable—when you finish reading this book! At the end of the 20th century, if Bill Gates were a country, he would be the 37th richest nation in the world; if he were a company, he would be the 13th largest in the U.S., even wealthier than IBM. He has already earned the most money in the world—what else is there for him to pursue, to explore? There is. It is to spend money! "Bill Gates" is a name that is all too familiar, but what new stories about Gates can be told to readers? This book introduces you to a Bill Gates you don’t know—his dramatic survival in the highly publicized trial against the U.S. Department of Justice and 19 states, his astonishing donation of $24 billion to the healthcare systems of the poorest countries, leaving the world stunned. You may admire him as a computer genius, envy him as the world’s richest man, or even take pride in his luxurious mansion and his unconventional personality, but you may not know about his spiritual elevation in the life-and-death business war. He had long declared that he would donate most of his wealth to society, and people listened with half a heart, half in doubt, but he unambiguously fulfilled his promise. Now is the time to take a fresh look at Bill Gates. This world’s wealthiest individual is to save the unfortunate children and people in the poorest countries and regions with his own strength, to challenge the stark reality of wealth disparity. Can he succeed? That doesn’t matter. What matters is that he has set a new example of how to pursue life’s meaning. The two authors, with a profound humanistic background and cultural cultivation, and a deep understanding of the Western IT industry, narrate the legendary life of this "one of the most influential people of the 20th century" and "pioneer of the future century," in a captivating and engaging manner.
