Unlike "Becoming Warren Buffett," the documentary is not entirely chronological, but uses a dual narrative of Gates' current philanthropy versus Gates' previous corporate endeavors. Here, I reorganize it in a timeline. Stage 1: Pregnancy 1. Birth: 1955, born. He loved to laugh since childhood and was called "happy boy". 2. Smart: First realized that he was smarter than other kids because of quick answers to arithmetic records. 3. Urge (mother line): His mother serves as a paid director of universities and various companies. According to the evaluation of Gates, his sister, and his sister: "The ability is very strong. People who are especially good at sociability, and who care about others with complete sincerity." Ci has the desire and ability to socialize. According to his sister: "If his mother hadn't forced him to go, he wouldn't be what he is now." 5. One of his friends: I met a friend at Lakeside Middle School: One, Kent, a business fan, he recommended Fortune magazine and guided Guy Z thinks about his place in business society. Two, Paul Allen, president of the programming community, brought Bill into the door of programming. 6. One of the deaths: Kent died of a fall from his climbing class. 7. Fame: The school asked Bill and Kent to arrange the class schedule. Paul came to help after Kent's death. The success of the programming made them fire. The Water Conservancy Bureau even found them to write programs. 8. Garbage: The classic incident where 13-year-old Bill and his friend Paul Allen rummaged through the garbage can for source code to unlock the secrets of the PDP10 computer. Stage 2: Feitian 9. Company; In 1975, 20-year-old Bill Gates established Microsoft, with Bill as CEO and Paul as president. 10. In love: In 1987, 22-year-old Melinda joined Microsoft as a Duke University graduate with an MBA and an MBA in computer science. The two started dating after sitting together at a trade fair dinner and then accidentally parked together. For Melinda, Bill said: "We treat each other as equals." 11. Death No. 2: Six months after marriage, Bill's mother died of cancer. 12. Buddy #2: Buffett, the investor, makes Bill think about the way the company survives. 13. Fracture: Paul's romantic feelings make him tired of working overtime all day long, but Bill's radical feelings require him to work overtime all day, which leads to the estrangement between the two. In 1982, Paul was diagnosed with early-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma and quit Microsoft the following year. 14. Take off: With the help of another friend, Steve Ballmer, Microsoft became a big company. Bill said: "Paul played a huge role in the early days of the company, and Steve was a key player in Microsoft's development from a small company to a large company." Stage Three: Fall 15. Fall: Netscape Browser Sues Microsoft for Monopoly . Later, the court characterized Microsoft as a monopoly. After that, Bill suffered a "cream terrorist attack". 16. Stand up: Bill appeals.

Death No. 3: In 2018, Paul died of cancer recurrence. Stage 5: The End (Charity 1: Water Is Still a Deadly Drink) 19. Question: An article "For Third World, Water Is Still a Deadly Drink" made Bill Gates pay attention to the problem of water and dysentery in Africa. 20. Solution: sent a letter to urge universities to carry out toilet improvement, and responded negatively; the Gates Foundation proposed a toilet improvement competition with a prize of 7 million US dollars, but it took too long; found a solution in a military factory, and came up with an idea: heating feces to evaporate water, Water vapor drives a generator to power a treatment plant and condense it into potable water, which is technically difficult; gave a speech at a toilet expo in China, six years later, engineers invent various toilets that can be used, which are expensive; find manufacturers to reduce costs, Invented the Omni processor: Burning solids evaporates water, and the water vapor drives a generator to power the processor and condense into drinkable water. Application: Today, in Budakar, Omni processors are able to treat one third of the sewage in the city. Phase 5: Terminal (Charity 2: Polio) 21. Question: How to fight polio to maximize benefits. It is worth noting that Bill is not trying to "eliminate" but to "confront" because he believes that the economic input of elimination is not proportional to the gain without prevention. 22. Difficulties: First, superstition, religious leaders called vaccines a Western "sterilization conspiracy"; second, transportation, inoculated people only had hand-drawn maps and could not find the vaccination point; third, transfer, one area wiped out another area will appear again. Solution: First, meet religious leaders and convince them; second, use remote sensing technology and computer to map maps, and expand volunteer teams; third, use quantitative models to analyze population movement, disease patterns, etc. to make more accurate predictions of future disease locations . 23. Relapse: In 2010, terrorism swept Nigeria again, and Boko Haram's rule made polio management difficult. twenty four. The solution: In 2013, Bill announced his "Endgame Strategic Plan" -- spending $6 billion over the next six years to eradicate polio. Stage 5: The End (Charity 3: New Nuclear Reactor) 25. Question: By reading Wakolav-Smir's book, I learned that the carbon dioxide emitted by coal, oil, natural gas and other primary energy sources will cause global warming. 26. Solution: Multi-sector funding projects. For example, porous and permeable materials that can absorb carbon in the air, new plastics using carbon dioxide as raw materials, and longer-lasting and cheaper car batteries are too long. Improved nuclear reactors. Use depleted uranium to make the reaction milder, and improve surrounding facilities to reduce the possibility of human error. After that, Bill cooperated with China, which is the most frequently built reactor. After the meeting between Xi Jinping and Bill, Bill signed the Terra Power Experiment Project to build a nuclear power plant in China. Restart: Sino-US trade friction, the US government cancels Bill's agreement to build a nuclear power plant Personal qualities: 1. Smart: I counted extremely fast in my childhood, and I remembered 90% of it in an hour of 150 pages in my later years. 2. Autistic: He likes to be locked in the house and read alone, and according to his sister, he is extremely introverted. 3.
