Chapter 1345: Hurt Each Other

“Ray, how's it going? We've been selling office software for days, haven't we?” Feng Yu called Lei Dajun and asked with a smile.

“The first three days of sales were really hot, but since the day before yesterday, there have been some problems, as if Microsoft's proliferation of pirated users has also affected the sales of our products. ”

Huh? Microsoft's Piracy User Surge? That's impossible, isn't it? Microsoft also launched new office software, didn't it? It was so quickly cracked?

Even if it's a regular cracked version, but it doesn't have an activation code, can it last up to a month? And with the Microsoft system, it's automatically logged. Unless you reinstall the system to install the pirated version again, aren't those people afraid of trouble? A lot of people wouldn't even reinstall the system. They'd have to pay for it, right?

WPS office software, promotional price is only RMB 69 yuan, most people who often use it, should choose to pay for it? Did someone make a completely decrypted version?

“What, you know who cracked Microsoft's protection program? Can you dig him into our company in secret? It's talent. ”

Those who make viruses like Trojans are also good at computer software. If such a person were to be on the right track, the value of creation would definitely be very high.

“President Feng, it seems strange that there is now a software on the market called the OFFICE activation code generator that can directly flash the activation code and then activate the pirated Microsoft office software normally, like the original version, with no usage restrictions! ”

“We traced where the software first appeared, but what was particularly puzzling was that it suddenly appeared online the day before yesterday and was uploaded to major domestic websites in a short time, offering free downloads. The first uploaded address is an internet cafe. ”

“Someone cracked it and uploaded it through an internet cafe, which is normal and understandable. But in less than two hours, it quickly appears on multiple websites, which is very problematic, indicating that someone is using the server to brush the news and let many people know that there is such a free activation code generator! ”

When Feng Yu heard about it, he also felt some problems. Someone cracked it and didn't have to make a profit. For example, you can provide activation codes for a fee. Ten bucks apiece, there should be a lot of people willing to try it. Or charge an activation code generator, just do a protective program so that an activation code generator can only be used less than three times, or even once, and not make a lot of money?

I dare say that selling tens of thousands of copies will not be a problem, that is 100,000 yuan.

Even if this person doesn't want to make a profit from it, it's also letting everyone know that this is a deliberate targeting of Microsoft. But the strangest thing is that Microsoft doesn't say anything about voicing, denouncing, or making statements about it on the Internet.

Normal companies tell consumers that doing so violates the law and infringes intellectual property rights. Even though Microsoft is selling less software than Silver Mountain, it can sell a lot.

Even a hundred thousand copies, one RMB at Microsoft's previous selling price of 169 yuan, that's still more than 10 million, the US dollar minimum is 2 million.

Besides, how can Microsoft sell only 100,000 copies?

“What do you mean, this has something to do with Microsoft itself?” Feng Yu asked in surprise.

“President Feng, it's not our belly black, but you think, Microsoft's security program is the best in the world. This activation code generator should be one of the security protection cores, so simple to crack? If the person who cracked it was Microsoft's program developer, that explains it. ”

“And Microsoft ignores it, and distinction is an indulgence. As a result, more users will choose to download Microsoft's office software on the web and then download it or get an activation code generator from a friend to work properly. ”

“While some of our office software works better than Microsoft, it doesn't really work as well. And it's mainly some advanced features that most people don't use. We sell cheap, but it's free. Who's willing to pay for it? ”

“However, we find it strange that if Microsoft's internal employees did it themselves, they would do so with resentment towards Microsoft. But even then, Microsoft should respond. Unless Microsoft wants piracy to flourish. But what good would it do them to influence the sales of our products? ”

Feng Yu shrugged: “This is still good for Microsoft. First, they can sue those who use piracy, especially businesses and even political axes, for not only a compensation but also an increase in their influence. ”

“Secondly, they will give users more access to Microsoft's office software, thus abandoning our office software. How much promotion and effort have we put into getting users used to our software? If users do not purchase our genuine software, our new product will not recover the cost of development, resulting in a loss. ”

“While Microsoft will also lose, the Microsoft family has a lot to lose by $12 billion a year, which is not a problem at all. Our even thought of Silver Mountain losing RMB 1 2 billion at a time, the impact is not insignificant. ”

Feng Yu understood that Microsoft's intention was obviously to hurt each other.

And Microsoft wants to take down Lenovo Silver Mountain with more robust capital, at least to make Lenovo Silver Mountain lose in office software. Without the support of this profit, the development of Silver Mountain on other software, such as computer operating systems, will inevitably be affected.

“Ray, have we recovered our R&D costs?” Feng Yu asked.

“Foreign markets don't make any money at this time, and if they don't sell out, we may have to lose some, but not too much. But earlier, according to our plan, this year alone, we should have made more than half a billion dollars in profits. Without this money, all of our R&D programs will be seriously affected. ”

“Our operating system is at a critical juncture and is in dire need of significant funding. Our smartphone system, which is only used by storm phones and Edward phones, along with our low selling prices, is not profitable. The market for antivirus software is now too competitive. We can only make some profits by relying on enterprise-level security protection. Normal antivirus software can only protect the principal. ”

Even thinking about Silver Mountain's development plan is completely disrupted.

However, Microsoft underestimated even Miss Silver Mountain, or underestimated Feng Yu. Isn't it burning money, who can't burn it?

“Tomorrow I will return home to inform Old Liu, beg them, we have a meeting to declare war with Microsoft! ”
