I: Bill Gates was born on 19551October 28th in Seattle, Washington, in the northwest of the United States. My father is a lawyer and an important helper in his early litigation. My mother was a teacher and later played a key role in the historic cooperation between Gates and IBM.

Gates has a cheerful and lively personality since childhood and is a high-energy child. Whenever, he swings back and forth in the cradle. Then I spent a lot of time riding a spring horse. Later, he brought this swaying habit to adulthood, to Microsoft, and shocked the whole world.

Gates loved mathematics and computers since he was a child, and he became a famous "computer fan" in middle school. PaulAlan is his best alumnus. They often play the game of three consecutive chess games on the computer of Hubin Middle School. The computer at that time was a PDP8 minicomputer. Students can play games on some connected terminals through paper tape typewriters, and they can also compile some small software, such as arranging seats. Bill Gates, Jr. is easy to get along with. In the program, one or two pranks can make girls around his seat.

One summer in 1972, Paul, three years older than him, took an electronic magazine, turned to page 143, pointed to an article with only ten paragraphs, and told Bill that a newly established company called Intel had launched a microprocessor chip called 8008. The two quickly got the chip and fiddled with a machine that could analyze the information on the city traffic monitor, so they decided to set up a company called "TrofOData". However, the game between the two teenagers soon ended. 1973, Bill went to Harvard University, and Paul got a job as a programmer in a computer company named Sweet Well in Boston. The two partners often meet to discuss computers. 1974 In the spring, when Electronics magazine announced that Intel had introduced an 8080 chip, which was 10 times faster than the 8008 chip, Bill and Paul had already decided that the end of a minicomputer like PDP8 was coming. They have seen the brilliant prospect of providing everyone with a perfect computer behind the new chip: personalized, adaptable and, most importantly, not beyond personal purchasing power. In a word, Intel's 8080 chip will change the whole industrial structure.

Ⅲ: Carlos Slim He Lu: The nightmare of multinational giants in the United States. The Mexican telephone company he founded is one of the largest enterprises in the country. American Mobile, which he controls, has 40 million users and is the most important mobile phone company in Latin America. Someone joked that the whole United States was speaking through him. 6 1 year-old Lebanese immigrants bought Mexican telephone company for1760,000 dollars 20 years ago. The development of it industry has driven the explosive growth of telecom industry, and now the company has rapidly increased its value to $20 billion, accounting for 40% of the total capital of Mexico Stock Exchange.

Ⅳ: ingvar kamprad 1926 was born in ErMrhal, southern Sweden, and his father was a farmer. This is an immigrant family with a good family tradition. His grandparents are German. They ordered a forest in Smaran, Sweden, and then settled down. After two generations' efforts, after kamprad was born, his family was relatively rich and he didn't have to worry about his livelihood. However, due to twists and turns, the family kept the habit of thrift, which also created a good atmosphere for the later development of kamprad. So, at the age of five, kamprad started his first business trip. One day, a friend of kamprad wanted him to accompany him to buy matches. The friend kept complaining about the long way to the store and said that he would rather use his pocket money to buy some, even if it was expensive, than walk so far to buy matches. Kamprad remembered that he had extra matches at home, so he told his friends that he could make the deal with him. In the afternoon, they made a deal-kamprad earned the first bucket of gold in his life. Although this bucket of gold is so insignificant, it is of great significance to kamprad's life. After a while, he began to sell matches to his neighbors by bike. By then, he had realized the benefits of economies of scale. He found that buying a lot of goods at a very low price, even if retail at a low price, is still profitable. At the same time, kamprad also noticed the neighbors' difficulties and needs when trading. Whenever neighbors were out of stock, he would take pains to purchase goods for them. In this way, kamprad not only made a certain profit, but also improved the relationship with its first customers. With the passage of time, when kamprad's business became too big to peddle along the street on foot, he began his first transformation: he used mail order instead of peddling along the street, and he used his notebook to create a mail order catalog to sell goods-this is the earliest predecessor of the IKEA catalog that now publishes hundreds of millions of copies every year. /kloc-at the age of 0/7, kamprad will go to school in Gothenburg. But before he left, he started a company on a whim, but at that time, Swedish law stipulated that the person who started the company must be at least 18 years old, otherwise someone must provide a guarantee. So, kamprad Jr. ignored his family's advice to wait a little longer and rode his bike to his uncle's house. With the help of his uncle, he submitted an application to the county Council. In this application, he used the words ikea (now IKEA) for the first time, and the meanings of these words are only the abbreviations of his name ingvar kamprad, the farm ailm Taride where he grew up and the village agunnaryd. Who would have thought that in a few decades, the value of these words would reach 7 billion dollars. According to the statistics of Business Weekly in 2004, it should be said that kamprad's founding of IKEA happened to meet the best period in history. At that time, it coincided with the end of World War II. Sweden, which was in a neutral position in the war, survived the baptism of war, but it was also faced with the mission of turning everything into ruins. At such a critical moment, kamprad keenly saw the huge potential of the furniture market. So in 1953, kamprad decided to give up all other businesses and specialize in low-priced furniture, and the IKEA era began.

ⅴ: Lakshmi Mittal1950 was born in Rajasthan, India, and his father started steel manufacturing business in Kolkata in the early 20th century. Mittal built his own small steel workshop in 197 1.

From this small factory, Mittal gradually established a steel empire spanning 14 countries. By the time isg was acquired, Mittal's net worth had risen to nearly $22 billion. He has been a London resident since 1995, and now he is a household name in Britain.

Mittal's career may come from seizing similar opportunities. He described his years in Indonesia as "vibrant 10 years". The local economy is very open, and he learned to produce at low cost. Then 1989, he went to Trinidad and took charge of a state-owned factory. After that, it acquired in Mexico and Canada, and 1995 entered Kazakhstan. 55-year-old Mittal still holds a trump card: Mittal Group controls 40% of its own iron ore supply, and Coca-Cola can be self-sufficient. When these resources cannot be purchased from the market at a reasonable price, Mittal will use the resources he has.

ⅵ: paul allen 1953 was born in Seattle, USA, and graduated from Washington State University. My father has been a librarian for more than 20 years, which provided conditions for him to read widely since he was a child. 1968, he met Gates in Hubin Middle School, and Allen impressed Gates with his rich knowledge. They became good friends, entered the computer kingdom together and set off a software revolution. 1975, they jointly founded the "Microsoft Empire", with Allen holding 40% of the shares. From 65438 to 0982, after Allen left Microsoft due to illness, he was busy investing. His obsession with astronomical science and "aliens" is amazing.

He also donated $25 million to search for extraterrestrial life. Allen is a super basketball fan and a good guitarist. Allen currently owns the Portland Trailblazers, an American professional basketball team, and the Seattle Seahawks, an American professional football team. He also plays the guitar in his own butcher boy rock band. The name of Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, is almost a household name.

The assets are $6543.8+$09.6 billion.

He always travels economy class on business trips. His wife is in charge of all the haircuts, even though his heels are worn out.
