Extraordinary Genius

After leaving Microsoft headquarters, Feng Yu called Liu Legend and told him to speed up the development of web browsers, forums, office software, etc., all based on the WIN95 system. And one more important thing is the antivirus software.

At this time, the system firewall is too easy to break, and the system has many vulnerabilities. And these years, which are also years of prosperity of antivirus software, are absolutely profitable if we can occupy this market, even if it is only half of the Huaxia market.

Surprisingly, Feng Yu told him that Silver Mountain did not succeed in the acquisition. It seems that all of Silver Mountain's people are arrogant and arrogant. Their valuation of software technology is too high. It is difficult for Liu Yuzhi and others to agree.

However, Liu Xianzhi also saw the potential of Silver Mountain. They did have strong skills in office software, anti-virus software, browsers, etc., so they did not fully acquire it, but invested in equity.

Feng Yu was somewhat disappointed in this, but this result is also acceptable. All kinds of office software in the future are the most profitable, including Microsoft's later major profits. OFFICE software is also a top priority.

Temporarily on the computer system, trying to keep up with Microsoft's footsteps is too difficult, but there is still a mobile operating system in the future, and this profit is definitely no smaller or even bigger than that of a computer.

Now Feng Yu is going to train a group of top software engineers and then tell them some of his ideas so that they can translate into reality.

The biggest difference between a mobile operating system and a computer operating system is that the mobile operating system takes up less memory and the future WINDOWS system will take up more and more storage space.

And it's because it's too big that they're losing out on the phone operating system, letting Google dominate the world, letting fruit masculine.

If Feng Yu's memory is correct, these two years should be the worst years of Fruit Corporation loss, and Jobs seems to have left Fruit Corporation, can Fruit Corporation engineers dig up some?

Where software engineers were more famous in the past, they were considered elite companies, mainly Microsoft, Google, fruit, Facebook, etc. As for engineers from other companies, they were considered second-class, including Yahoo, who would be arrogant to the group in the next two years. The biggest reason for their failure was that many people said it was not a decision error, but because they did not have the best technicians to stay ahead of the technology.

Feng Yu is too aware of the importance of technological leadership. If he can apply for a patent or something, he can not only make a good profit, but also block the progress of others. Of course, blocking the progress of others is not an end, but it is the most imperative to stay ahead.

……

“Paul, what do you think of Feng's request?” Bill? Gates had some headaches, and Feng Yu's conditions were too harsh, but he had not been able to refuse.

“Reject them all!” Paul? Alan said angrily, "It's not that we can't talk about it in and of itself, but it's absolutely unforgivable that he threatened us with the Huaxia market. We're Microsoft. Can anyone threaten us? ”

“Paul, calm down. I wanted to say no to him, but he made good sense. We need to open the Huaxia market, a market bigger than North America and even the entire American market, with great potential for the future. Don't you want to eat such a big cake?” Of course he thought about rejecting it, but the benefits were too tempting for him to say no.

“But we're Microsoft, and we can make all the hardware companies give in, can't we make him give in?” Paul? Alan was very dissatisfied with the question. While Microsoft received sanctions as a result, they also proved Microsoft's strength. And Microsoft today is more powerful than it was yesterday.

“It's Huaxia, one of the most powerful countries in the East, and the way markets are regulated is completely different from ours. Even Feng hinted at me that if he didn't want us to enter Huaxia, we would never be able to enter Huaxia. Think of India. Aren't we just blocked out? Do you know how much we would lose if we lost the Indian market and then the Warsaw market? In the unlikely event that Huaxia also rises its own software systems company, we will have another competitor. If a company has the support of the state, it is absolutely unimaginable how fast it will grow!” Bill? Gates said worried.

Paul Allen's eyebrows are also locked, and now he's clear about his attitude. If he cooperates, Microsoft will have a lot of benefits, but the other side needs more. Either one beat or two, Microsoft will lose a lot, while the other will lose a lot less.

“Damn, how about we promise him a deal? For example, let him enter the board of directors, but ask him to help Microsoft fully enter Huaxia, Microsoft made money, didn't he also make money?” Paul? Alan thought about it and wanted to say.

“I mentioned this, and he disagreed. He said two conditions, one missing. He wanted to get on the board and asked us to give him the cheapest price for Lenovo, $12!” Bill? Gates shook his head, and if there was only one condition, he might not have to hesitate.

“But this price, if found out by other companies, will greatly affect our Microsoft reputation! ”

After all, Microsoft sells system software on other companies' computers at much higher prices. The cost of using any office software exceeds $12, let alone the cost of the system. Once the distinction is found to be so serious, other PC merchants will have to jointly ask Microsoft to lower its price, which can cause Microsoft to lose enormously, and even the share price will fall dramatically.

“Paul, this is also my hardest part. Feng also caught this, and when he entered the Microsoft Board of Directors, he would never let the news out. And the Huaxia computer company even thought that Feng had a lot of shares, and he must be able to control it. He must also make sure that the news is not revealed. Otherwise, Microsoft loses a lot of money, too. ”

“Bill, what do you mean, you've decided? Promise him such ridiculous terms? How much money can we make for such a cheap price? Millions, 10 million dollars?” Paul? Alan rebutted loudly.

“So I'm only going to give him a very low price this time, but ask them to have our Microsoft logo on their computer, and to do a lot of advertising on us at Microsoft, including advertising on their products, and also our advertising. And in turn, we can use this to advertise that IE is already the most user-friendly browser in the world, so that we can promote IE browsers in Europe, America, etc. ”

“How to get him on the board, his shares, are all non-voting shares. Once it's all converted into voting shares, that's 15% equity! ”

“In exchange, you and I each took out one percent of our voting shares in exchange for non-voting shares. Didn't you want to cash in on your new company and sell non-voting shares just in time?” Bill? Gates made a decision.

“Well, now that you've made your decision, I'll back you up.” Paul? Alan twisted the cigar hard.

This is a fucking decision!
