PASSAGE THREE

Steve Ballmer is always exciting, as he was this time in front of over 2,000 students from Qinghua University and Beijing University.

Ballmer, president(總裁) of Microsoft Corp., received a warm welcome at Qinghua University when he gave a talk on the next generation(一代) of the Internet on September 19th. He came to China last week for a two-day visit, during which he slept only four hours and had many meetings with government officials(政府官員) and men of business. After all those business matters, he came to Qinghua and was asked thousands of questions from the excited students.

Ballmer, who joined Microsoft in 1980, is the first business manager hired(聘用) by Bill Gates, a schoolmate of Ballmer at Harvard. Gates first dropped out of school to start Microsoft and Ballmer was still studying, but he also gave up his studies and joined Bill Gates’ five-year-old Microsoft in 1980.

In his talk to the students, Ballmer described what the Internet would bring to their life. He said there are several hundred Qinghua graduates now working or being trained at Microsoft both in China and in the US.
