Moderator: With regard to your role in the turn of the new and old, to talk about the difference between us now, from Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Melinda Foundation, the only difference is, this is two different rulers of the empire . (Bill's anti-fighting) This is what you are different from you?
Gates: From July last year, I have a full-time Microsoft employees in order to change a full-time, Bill and Melinda? Gates Foundation staff, I do not know what will be a work, but I must say, I found that I am engaged in the work of each of the input and I am very excited and this gives me a great scientist are working, planning to give the world the great changes brought about by the project, and that I work in Microsoft are very much similar, although I also act as the chairman of Microsoft, but I am new to participate in the work of health, whether it is prevention of AIDS, malaria or tuberculosis, let me busy around the world, I found a great opportunity to change the status quo, so I was one of the few world's rare to have two good work.
Moderator: I would like to know, your office is where? Microsoft or the Bill & Melinda Foundation?
Gates: I will be 80% of the time spent on the Bill and Melinda? Gates Foundation's work, so most of my meetings were held there, and I often go abroad, I recently watched the Olympics come to China, it is the next great Olympic Games. I went elsewhere, concerned about the local agriculture and the work of prevention and treatment of tuberculosis, so that my work let me busy in the world.
Moderator: I came here this morning prepared to interview, you in China, one of my colleagues showed me that this is an open letter, (Gates: Yes, in the Foundation's website the letter) I noticed that you made some very interesting point of view, you say: I have many friends of the Foundation's work would not have worried as Microsoft is so attracted me, so I feel full, you mentioned the Foundation's three areas of valuable I think that these three points be persuasive, in which the point is, you mentioned you like to cooperate with the wise men, I believe that this is a factor in your motivation.
Gates: Yes, scientists are working on new vaccines, they explore the mysteries of how to cure diseases, and Microsoft in which they have amazing wisdom and the spirit of active employees is the same type of person, I and their co-operation to give them the support they organically organize themselves to work together to help them to face and through the setbacks, so that they adhere to in the end, this kind of leadership is to enable Microsoft's secret of success.
Moderator: You also mentioned another point, in the Foundation's work is an additional advantage of working with Melinda.
Gates: Yes, my wife is very actively involved in these matters, the (Moderator: You are a very good family values man) Yes, she is passionate about this work, we went to a lot of local, also went to some places, and then with each other to share our sense of what and. Able to work with her, I am very happy.
Moderator: Why did you choose to write an open letter, I know, you said that Mr. Buffett is recommended that you do so, you think this is a good way?
Gates: Yes, Warren? Buffett Foundation, presented for the amazing gift, every year for his own company a year to write an open letter to the letter every year as we look forward to things, the letter, he talks to his mistakes, in this unreserved respect he also spoke of his excitement and fear, he believes that in such a way to take him to talk about a number of complex issues, for example, we have AIDS, tuberculosis prevention and treatment in progress, and we to share our work is worth doing, so I did. As I wrote in the online, I hope that we can read this letter and give me feedback as I assess the work of the Foundation focus on the basis of the next step. Therefore, in January each year, I will write an open letter to the year.
Screen Commentary: Buffett's gift
Bill Gates as a good friend of more than a decade, Buffett is not only given the support of friends suggested that he write an open letter, June 26, 2006, Warren - Warren Buffett (Warren Buffett) form of equity to the "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation," 30 billion U.S. dollars of contributions. Gates Foundation to donate money so that the assets of 60 billion U.S. dollars to the global charity industry "giant" this was born.
Moderator: You just said that his foundation to provide you a huge amount of contributions, if this is not a secret if you tell me how the idea came?
Gates: I did not think he will do so. We are a good friend of 15 years, and we very much like to talk about the world, and talk about doing business with the bridge, playing golf, we have been working together a lot of very fun things. A few years ago, when he was taking his money should be spent where, he told me I was very surprised, he said that the money entrusted to him will be a very good business person, he I may choose, to give the money to me, this is extraordinary, and his donation so that the assets of the Foundation doubled, so that we can more boldly to implement our plans, let us dare to take greater risks to innovation, it is really hard to believe that this is the largest amount of private donations, I feel that it is also a greater responsibility to better manage the Foundation.
Moderator: It also shocked the world, the world's two richest men to life, health, and the world the concept of the same
Gates: Warren not only in his career very well be how to improve the world, he has a very strong moral values, it can become a partner, he is my great honor, he is the Trustee of the Foundation, He will give us suggestions, feel free to let me his devotion to this cause.
Moderator: Who is the initial idea to establish such a foundation?
Gates: I am very fortunate to have a successful company, it created a huge amount of my wealth, the question is how I should spend the money? Is spent on my own body? Or to my child? But I think that with all that money so that more of their own consumption of public resources, or allow my child into a super-rich are not the best, instead of this, might as well return to society, to fully benefit from the world. When my wife and I see a time when these diseases, these diseases are being tortured to see the poorest people, and when no one is interested, say, malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis, there are many diseases, we decided to part concentrate on the work and the fight against these diseases, the investment in new vaccines, so that people get better treatment, so the Foundation of concern to the most important thing is the global health projects, in order to save more lives, I think this will be to improve the world, of course, we did not go far enough, our work has been carried out ten years, we have also made a lot of success.
Moderator: That is why when you come to China in 2007 when, at that time in the Boao Forum for you to carry out the visit at that time, your first stop to the prevention of AIDS Research Center, Tsinghua University, rather than to accept the honorary doctorate, nor is it to participate in the Boao Forum in Hainan, this is what you really care about. My understanding correct?
Gates: Yes, the AIDS crisis is very serious, had AIDS is a very terrible experience, but also the prejudice suffered by the secular, not a very good treatment, they may even refuse treatment, but also the surrounding people will be bad treatment, so these people approached to help them is very important. We are very pleased to see that many countries have taken very good way to see China's progress, see that China has made more work. I also want to see our Foundation projects in China to make progress through the project and participate in the exchange of people, I have learned a lot, say, the money we invested in the right place, in order to help the poor The population on how to improve our work.
Moderator: Another feature of the Foundation is to keep a low profile, not just the Foundation's office in China is very inconspicuous, the Foundation's headquarters building in Seattle is also true, as far as I know, only a three-tier small floor, you will be building a new repair it?
Gates: We are building a new headquarters, I too hope that it will not transfer, the new headquarters will be the establishment of a Visitors Center that is full of curiosity to the Foundation to provide information, so that more people know the world is also There are many diseases. Although the United States the world's richest countries, but always remember there are people being subjected to torture people in malaria, and this disease in a long time ago in the United States has disappeared. We want people to see them to call more people strive for this cause.
Moderator: That is your purpose, but also your style. I know nothing about the operation of charitable organizations, when I read some information, I found that you do not contribute directly to the individual. You will and some partners to invest or to make, please tell us how the operation of the Foundation?
Gates: We have chosen to pay attention to several areas, global health is one of the biggest concerns, we will employ experts to study the tuberculosis, malaria, AIDS, on this area, we will consider that this is what kind of science ? New vaccines, new drugs, better clinical applications, how to do to help those people suffering from these diseases, we will select some of the research in this area and penetration of the donor agencies as part of our object, we assess them, to see if they can play in the future effectively. We are also concerned about agriculture, because of the poor people that they should be able to increase production is the most important thing, China's increasingly wealthy, and innovation of China's agriculture is very important, China has set its own expertise, for example, , how to grow rice, how to manage agricultural systems, we hope that our professional skills can be applied to Africa, to help the people there. Therefore, we invest in, the selection of the best people and develop a long-term plan, say, the new AIDS vaccine, developed also needs to be 15 years. We have been in progress, this is very important. Sometimes, some of the Government, or at least the U.S. government, on these issues, their lack of long-term vision, we and their co-operation and continued to bring their concerns to human health, so that they in the world more generous health problems, not only the foundation of our funds, we let the rich countries, especially the United States to provide more funds.
Moderator: Your Foundation for a different point is that your investment in the Foundation is charitable view, which means that not only donated funds, will focus on investment, and why? Because, my understanding is that the traditional sense of the charitable foundation contribution simply
Gates: The problem is that your standard is up to you is based on the amount of money you donated to measure, or the basis of funds to measure the effectiveness of play, for our Foundation, we choose one thing to do would be to choose the depth of to invest, we will look at how many lives we save, is the successful elimination of polio, in this regard, we have invested a lot of energy. Therefore, saving lives is a more important measure, it will enable us to make more informed decision-making, for example, how we should use these funds, the value of our innovative, because money is only a tool, the real goal is a moral sense of the kinds of goals, it is based on equal treatment of every life, not just the rich have the opportunity to receive medical care, the world everyone has equal opportunities.
Moderator: This means that the objectives and how to manage the Foundation of the difference between, please tell us, the management of the Foundation and management of Microsoft's different from what? Is a big different?
Gates: Microsoft is a large-scale companies, foundations, smaller size, which is a little different. But I think, in this, they have a lot in common, I would like to busy in the world, and partners work together, I would like to show an optimistic attitude in order to attract more people involved, the realization of possible目标. In fact, whether it is China or in other countries, I have their own goals, I hope that these successful people can see that philanthropy can be rewarded, and I hope that they can use their own, participate in charity, so that they also can be lucky enough to get the same great wealth, I hope they can back to society, perhaps they will choose different ways and we come back to society, but our most fundamental concept is to help people who need help the most.
Moderator: I would like to know, how do you view the financial crisis? The financial crisis on your foundation as well as its operation had a significant effect?
Gates: the financial crisis in each country to focus on its policy, each country will need to consider how to stimulate their economies, as well as how to avoid in the future the same problem. And I am concerned about is, we must continue to pay attention to those areas where the poorest, regardless of each country's poorest regions, or the poorest regions of Africa, in order to their interests, we need to be more generous and more innovation, We will not because we are going through difficult times to stop doing so. Because, in the difficult period, the loss of the most serious of the poorest areas. So, although some institutions in accordance with the assessment, we have the Foundation's investment assets had shrunk by 20 percent, but in fact, this year we will invest more money, a good example of this is, this time in our trip to China, we announced China's Suppression of the Financing of TB.
Moderator: As far as I know, the Foundation's goal is to best medical care, education, poverty reduction, and I understand that, with the financial crisis intensified, even heavier burden of the Foundation, is that true?
Gates: Yes, we have been working to make rich countries to continue to contribute generously, do not forget that science is on our side, we have been able to find the issue of new vaccine scientists find better drugs developed experts, the discovery will allow the poor people in a limited time from the disease. For example, polio, we may be as long as several years can control it, it will become the second disease to be completely extinct. Malaria in this area a lot of burden. AIDS, we in the AIDS patients for more on the provision of medical assistance. China is a good example, in the past 30 years, the health status of the Chinese people has been greatly improved. Of course, much remains to be done, the government should promote the reform of the health care system, it is necessary to invest more funds, as well as the need to overcome many difficulties, for example, tuberculosis, tobacco control, so that a lot of work to be done, but progress is significant.
Moderator: You just told me you would go to London to attend the G20 summit, held there for you, you for the G20 summit, what are your expectations?
Gates: There is no doubt that we will come out of this financial crisis, as the world continues to innovation, the innovation of computer technology, medical innovation, equipment innovation, which will bring prosperity to us, whether in China or in the United States University universities, which are carrying out the work of the great forward. G20 summit to face the question is what should be the policy of the financial crisis will reduce the duration of the shortest, perhaps one year, two, three or four years, everyone can not help but recall the past, I was thinking about when the Japanese economy's long-term recession,犯了什么错they mistakenly thought, I was thinking about the financial crisis in the past. But in this financial crisis, the countries of the world shows that the firm conviction and a high level of international cooperation has left me a deep impression on him, although I do not have a shaman's crystal ball to predict when we will be out of financial crisis, but I think We have taken the correct measures, I know, in the United States government, not just President Obama, there are many excellent staff in this effort forward.
Moderator: of course, the Chinese government, we launched a large-scale economic stimulus package, so if you sound very optimistic about the
Gates: I am a realist, in this few years, many people will have suffered loss, for example, lose their jobs, lost opportunities for medical treatment. In Africa, there will be a lot of people do not have enough food, the Government turmoil, this is a very difficult time, and so we must redouble our generous pay. I am an optimist, (Moderator: You have always been this way) Yes, the financial crisis is not permanent, by the example of China as the world economy, continuous innovation, we will certainly return to the path of rapid economic development on .
Moderator: Your trip to China this time only one day, you want to achieve the most important goal?
Gates: In Beijing there is a very important meeting, concerned about TB, every year two million people died of the disease, it is fear that a more difficult to cure TB, called MDR-TB a growing common. China, the incidence of TB incidence of TB cases in the world 15% of MDR-TB incidence rate higher occupied. In the past few years, we and the Chinese government engaged in a dialogue to discuss how to change this situation. We became partners, we have today signed a memorandum of cooperation, the Foundation will provide the Chinese government 33 million U.S. dollars, we need to study new treatments, new drugs, as well as significantly reduce the incidence of tuberculosis of the new method. We will remind people to use mobile communications medication on time, are now facing a big problem is that a long time, people will stop, we will reduce the amount of medication, from the day reduced to 13 tablets of 3,4, which would help people to comply with doctor's advice. China will stand in the forefront to the world that a better and newer methods will reduce the mortality rate of TB.
Moderator: I have noticed that in referring to such cooperation, you use the word partnership, and why?
Gates: China is very concerned about improving people's lives, before we and the Chinese Government to open a number of projects, large-scale promotion of the use of hepatitis B vaccine, has been a great success, it will reduce the incidence of liver disease, in AIDS also opened a cooperation project involving a number of regional AIDS, where exchanges with the patients to change their behavior, to monitor the infection, the project is still underway, we still have a lot of work needs to be done, because even though AIDS is now the ratio is relatively low, but there is an upward trend, due to our relationship with the Chinese government in many cooperation projects have achieved success, we now project an increase of TB, we also have in the agricultural cooperation projects, so I think Foundation and the Chinese Government, we have a lot of the same objective.
Moderator: Foundation in China set up a special office, the Foundation is almost the only overseas branch offices, is it?
Gates: Yes, we believe that our role in China is very special because, through co-operation with China, not only can help their own people in China, for example, in patients with AIDS and tuberculosis, we can also ensure that the expertise here, science and technology agricultural technology can be applied to other countries, especially in Africa, so when I saw the plan proposed by the Chinese government, they plan to invest more money to scientific areas, including agricultural science, I also saw hope in China and Africa, a more strong, I see a real opportunity, because we in Africa a lot of work, we made the investment in China is to ensure that the impact of the best, so that the Foundation's office in China is a special office, where there are many talented people, they can help us find the best among the government partners to help us take our message out, whether it is prevention or control of TB tobacco, all of these problems.
Moderator: Bill, I remember at the last interview, you mentioned to me many times in your childhood, your dream is to make everyone's desk will be able to put on a computer, a cheap and practical computer, this is a huge work now to achieve this dream, and for your foundations, you have a new dream?
Gates: This dream is also a very bold vision, that is, I hope everyone can get equal treatment, we can not make money because there is no market to ignore those who went to the poor sick, we need to see there are so more than the need to cure the disease, we have to all the clever brain and talents together so that they can to help those in need of help. In the next 20 years, I hope that all the diseases I mentioned that the total extinction of all, to equal treatment of life, it eliminates the bias, so that the world has become more equitable.
Moderator: How do you foresee the long and difficult journey?
Gates: just rely on the efforts of a foundation, it is necessary to achieve its objectives is not possible, in all the work to be done, we can only rarely part of the rich countries, including the United States, Europe, as well as the development of countries, they had to do more things, they will have to speed up the pace, because we can only achieve very little funding the work, the whole world recognizes that our work has been successful indeed, when they heard the three million AIDS patients have been treated successfully, they realize that this is a good way to spend money around the world for the treatment of malaria and other diseases are more and more money, and now the financial crisis on us, may be a setbacks, we must ensure that our assets would be substantially reduced, because people who need help too much. Our own efforts alone, before referred to the achievement of those objectives are not. We have to fine universities and to establish contacts and a great thinker to establish links to the poorest countries and to establish contacts in order to improve their social system. We are only the part of the revolutionary cause. To this cause, we are very optimistic about one of the reasons is that the health status of the world has indeed improved in the last century 60's, every year 2 million children under the age of 5 died, and now reduced to 1 million, Despite the increase in the annual birth rate, so that this is a huge improvement. We want to do that in less than 20 years, this figure will be 1 million from 1.001 million to 5 under, of course, we hope this figure to zero.
Moderator: Now that we are old friends, please meet a my own curiosity, this is your open letter in 2009, there are a lot of precious photos, which one do you like best?
Gates: It's hard to choose, (like how this?) This is my learning how to grow food in Africa, this is my school in one, which is in Vietnam, (Moderator: This is in China) Yes, AIDS Prevention of Disease Center, one of which is AIDS, are receiving treatment, and this is my father, it is Buffett's bequest, and perhaps I would choose this. He is my best friend, there is involved in the Foundation's many important topics, allowing you to have a general understanding, short, short, dispersed daughter, had to meet.
Voice Over: In my eyes, Bill Gates is one such imaginative force more action, but there are a lot of things others would like to make clear he has already begun to do. For charitable, saying that Bill Gates, he said: extraordinary charity, he did not have political enemies, will not have to worry about one day being elected to step down and will not listed, do not need to face the daily terror of the shares it up down. See, Bill Gates, in his innovative ideas constantly to find a happy realization.
Over the years, Bill Gates has been at the center of the incident, his assets in the rich list with a drop of street Lane will become the focus of discussion, his every move must be subjected to the outside world overcritical, it commended, there are doubts, however, In this interview, Bill Gates repeated the words deeply touched me, and that is: "Those who get a lot of people, it should also make a lot." Just as he stated in an interview that the last sentence inadvertently: dispersed daughter, had to meet.inflatable bouncer , inflatable castle , inflatable slide , inflatable obstacle course , inflatable games ,inflatable tent ,from East inflatables Manufacturing Co., Ltd .
Thank you for watching today's high-end visit, good-bye.
