Extraordinary Genius

Ballmer didn't dare to agree to such harsh conditions, but he knew he couldn't talk about it here, so he had to say goodbye to Feng Yu and fly back to the United States. The matter should be left to the board, or Bill.

Microsoft's monthly board meeting, all directors arrived except Feng Yu.

“Hmm, someone doesn't keep company rules and regulations in mind. I think his equity rewards were low last year, I shouldn't give him any this year!” Paul? Allen saw Feng Yu's empty seat, said Yin and Yang Weird.

Microsoft's director, who didn't know that Paul and Feng Yu were not up against each other, especially after Feng Yu became the second richest man in the world after Bill. If Paul had not cashed in Microsoft's shares and invested in other companies, Paul's stock market capitalization could now be over $20 billion, the gap with Feng Yu would not have been that great.

But now, Paul seems unlikely to catch up with Feng Yu. For Paul's sake, all of them were wise to pretend they didn't hear, and nobody wanted to get involved in a fight between the two big men.

“Okay, Paul, ready for the meeting. There are a few key issues today, one of which is that after the launch of our WIN98 operating system, it resonated well and the product sold well. However, some of these loopholes, to be filled quickly, do not give the impression that our system is unsafe… The last major issue, GBOX's cooperative development. ”

“Cooperate to develop what? Either we don't do it, or we do it ourselves!” Paul spoke out loud.

Working with Feng Yu, are you kidding me? How can Feng Yu work with Microsoft?

“Paul, I don't think our own development is a good idea. First of all, we don't have the experience in hardware development, because for whatever reason, I don't have to say it. Secondly, Feng Yu has the corresponding advanced technology, which is very important for the product...”

“Wait, we don't have hardware development experience, does Feng Yu have it? Besides, we can acquire an experienced company, we have plenty of cash, and that nonsense, I think, is good.” Paul interrupted Ballmer's words.

This Ballmer, always looking at Feng Yu, was really blind before agreeing that Bill would reward him with so many shares.

“Paul, don't forget that Feng Yu has several consumer electronics production and marketing companies, as well as shares in Lenovo Group, and he is indeed stronger than we at Microsoft. And there's no way to buy it, but they offer a heavenly price that nobody can afford.” Ballmer explained.

“Paul, please be patient and listen to Steve.” Bill? Gates said somewhat unhappy.

Paul snorted cold and lowered his head for a sip of water, but found that there was a Force drink on the table. He gets angrier when he sees this. Even without coffee, black tea is fine. Even Coke is fine. Why make this force?

Programmers like to drink, give them a drink, why do we prepare this at the board meeting?! I'm just thirsty and I don't drink this shit!

Ballmer went on to say, "What's happening is that we can't acquire a good game machine making company, and Sachia has proven to be no match for Shuni and Nong Heaven at all. Yeung Ni's console will use the free LINUX system, while Yeung Heaven chose to work with IBM. ”

“We now have two choices, and as Paul said, we can set up a subsidiary or division ourselves, develop our own game console, or work with Feng Yu. ”

“But our weaknesses are obvious. We don't have any hardware development experience. We don't know how long it will take to keep up with the technology. It doesn't matter if it's a year or two, but if it's a decade or eight, how much money are we going to lose and how much energy are we going to get involved? ”

“The choice to work with Feng is different. Feng has a console development company, is Huaxia's largest console producer and has a certain reputation in Southeast Asia. And Feng's company has plenty of hardware development experience, how well they design consumer electronics, I don't have to give you data, right? ”

“Feng also founded a game development company, acquired two companies in South Korea, then quickly acquired a company in Xiangjiang, a company in Bao Island, a company in Island Country, a company in Huaxia, and our snow storm company in North America. Once integrated, it will be the world's largest game development company, R&D staff, with over a thousand people, and multiple mature game development teams. Everyone knows how Saga's Saturn failed, right? They were disliked by consumers because they offered too few games, when they were not very different from the technology of Shuni and Nong Heaven. ”

“Feng can not only provide us with a lot of gaming copyrights, but also take back some copyrights and not use them for Yanni and Nong Heaven. And any games they develop in the future will only be readable by our system. It is also important that the patented technology of DVD is in the hands of two groups, one is the DVD Forum, which promotes the Windstorm-Phillips standard, which is also followed by more consumer electronics manufacturers, with a market share of over 70 percent, and the other is the DVD Alliance, which promotes the DVD + RAM standard, which has a market share of just over 20 percent. ”

“To be a console, we have to use DVD technology, which has proven to be completely behind us and is about to be eliminated by the game storage market. And the technology of the DVD alliance, YANNI, is one of the sponsors, will they give us authorization? If you do, the price will inevitably be high, dramatically increasing the cost of our products. As for the better Windstorm - Philip standards, as you can see, it's the standards promoted by Windstorm, and we joined the DVD forum, but we didn't participate in R&D, so we didn't get the preferential terms, and we were going to use this technology, and we were going to pay the patent fee, and we were going to do it ourselves, so how much would it cost to patent this technology alone? ”

“So the best way to do this now is to work with Feng Yu. ”

“Why can't we use VCD technology?” Someone asked.

“The vast majority of VCD technology and patents are von's, um, over 95 percent. And if we're going to surpass Sony and Nong Heaven on our products, we can't use technology that's behind them.” Ballmer explained.

“If you say so, then we can only cooperate with Feng, then I agree to cooperate.” One director said.

Another director was more cautious: "Steve, did Feng work with us on the terms? ”

Ballmer watched Bill? Gates, to the other directors, said, "Von's condition is that he cooperate in the company's absolute control! ”

Paul almost jumped up and yelled, “That's impossible! ”

Delusion, this is delusion. This Feng Yu is so delusional. Working with Microsoft, he still wants to control the stock? Who does he think he is?
