Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1360: Different Days This Evening

When the Huaxia Trade Commission sued Microsoft Monopoly and claimed RMB 2.3 billion for news coverage, Huaxia's network boiled down.

“Am I right? When did Huaxia become so powerful, she dared to sue Microsoft? ”

“What's so new about this, how long has it been since Central Taiwan sued those foreigners? I'm telling you, this leader is so hard! ”

“I do IT, Microsoft has been defended in many countries before, we here in Huaxia don't say a word, now it's finally done. ”

“Don't you know that? I am a lawyer. We had no anti-monopoly laws in Huaxia before. This is not the draft anti-monopoly law that was just passed a few days ago. There was no basis for trying to sue anyone before. Now we can. ”

“Eh, upstairs, you mean this antitrust law was created just to sue Microsoft? ”

“Pfft ~ ~ ~ That Microsoft is so glorious, to sue him, our country has created a law! ”

“Anyway, I'm a supporter of the country, and punishing you so many times a year eight times is equivalent to generating income! ”

“But that's Microsoft. Can we win? And Microsoft just invested so much money in our Huaxia, isn't that a good idea? Besides, they are a company in the US. ”

“Upstairs, traitor. Identification complete! ”

“What's wrong with America? What's wrong with Microsoft? Are we afraid of them? If you can't do it, I can go to war anytime! ”

……

Feng Yu viewed the forum, there were too many online posts accusing Microsoft, the overwhelming majority of people expressed support, some expressed indifference, and very few others, speaking on Microsoft's behalf.

This segment of the population may be Microsoft employees, or may have deliberately made these remarks, but soon their posts were submerged.

Some of Huaxia's political axe staff are also watching online online discussions, and they see so much support from online friends and feel much more relaxed.

It seems that their fears were superfluous before, and a little sane people should understand that this initiative is very beneficial to Huaxia.

Huaxia is very happy, but Microsoft feels on fire.

When the European Union had just been adjudicated, island countries, South Korea and other countries had popped up and started suing Microsoft and not accepting any out-of-court settlements.

They were trying to figure out what to do with the two countries, and Huaxia jumped out and started suing them.

This is not over, and immediately followed by the emergence of an institution called the Eastern European Business Union, which, on behalf of the Eastern European countries, also filed a monopoly charge against Microsoft and called for a ruling on its side.

Others, which had previously been negotiated outside the courtroom and were ready to sign the agreement, are no longer doing so, demanding more and better conditions, or they will continue to sue Microsoft.

They calculate that Microsoft is unable to balance multiple areas and will necessarily compromise quickly in some places. Otherwise, these countries and regions will sue Microsoft simultaneously, and Microsoft will be tired of coping and will lose a lot.

Microsoft's bundled sales over the last few years have already seen very good results. The products they bundle, the market share is climbing, and now they are not bundled, there is no big problem.

But if they can continue to bundle, they can continue to expand their market share and secure higher profits.

If you can't bundle it up at once, there will certainly be a lot of users choosing products from other companies out of some kind of psychology. Microsoft cannot guarantee that products from other companies will not work well, and those who dare to launch similar products will have their own characteristics.

If they cannot bundle, they cannot continue to maintain their advantage and say when market share will fall, which can be a huge loss.

So Microsoft would rather fight a lawsuit than lose money or remove these bundles.

……

“Huaxia and Eastern Europe are also beginning to accuse us of monopolies. What should we do about this?” Bill? Gates asked silently.

“Our sales in Huaxia and Eastern Europe were not very good, especially Huaxia, how low our Windows system was. Even so, a lot of them must have a piracy system, so it's embarrassing to sue us? ”

“The use of piracy does not mean that no one can sue us. But that reminds us, why can't we sue Hua Xia instead? They use piracy. We always have a good claim, right?” A director said.

“Claims, how? How do you define whether someone else is using an authentic or a pirated version? Will someone turn on the computer and let's test it? ”

“We can add a system patch through which we can automatically ask if the system is genuine or pirated, and if it is pirated, we can give the other party a black screen to process so that they have to buy the original. ”

“Black screen? Isn't that a little serious? This will make many potential customers tired of our brand. And in the unlikely event that they delay something important, they will, in turn, make a claim against us, and they can use the pretext of not knowing that they are posing as pirates, so that we can get into trouble again.” Someone rebutted.

“No, we can start with a constant pop-up reminder that they're using piracy and can detect not only the system, but also the authenticity of our other Microsoft products. After an hour, the black screen is processed again, and the black screen is not completely black, and can be recovered by debugging the display, etc., without affecting usage, but can be very troublesome. ”

“I agree with that approach.” Ballmer said.

This will not only stimulate the other party to change the original version, but also detect how many pirated users there are to negotiate with Huaxia for an out-of-court settlement. Otherwise, you will be sued for insufficient intellectual property protection by the Huaxia team, to the detriment of Microsoft.

Bill Gates thought about it and nodded: “How long is this going to take? ”

“By the end of this year.” Paul? Alan leaned back on his chin and was proud of his face.

When you can't help it, I'll lead the tech department to figure it out, right? How can Microsoft do this without me?

……

“Eh, see, Microsoft's representative showed up, and he said what, they didn't admit the accusation at all? Shame on you! ”

“Oops, what better choice to offer to customers, meaning that their products are the best? I bam, Microsoft's office software doesn't even think Silver Mountain works, what a bullshit! ”

“Ah? You're not exaggerating upstairs. Thinking Silver Mountain really works better than Microsoft? That's Microsoft, number one in the world. You're not a fool, are you? ”

“Exaggerate what, Bill? Gates was once the richest man in the world, and now he's been squeezed by our Warsaw Von. Don't always look at the problem with the old eyes. Our Huaxia technology is rapidly evolving. This evening has been different! ”
