Extraordinary Genius

“Bill, even thinking that Silver Mountain's XOS sales in Huaxia are increasing rapidly, especially for those new users, has almost opted for their system, which is very bad for us.” Ballmer reports.

“Adjust the selling price, the different markets, the selling price. In underdeveloped countries, prices have fallen again. In terms of our sales volume, we can make money even if it's the same as even thinking about Silver Mountain.” Bill? Gates sinks.

“Isn't that good? This will severely reduce our profits, which will affect our stock prices. ”

With declining profits, investors' confidence in Microsoft's stock will decrease, and Microsoft's share price is likely to fall. The increase in share prices is not necessarily linked to whether the company makes money or not.

Investors depend on your company's potential and future earnings. So many companies that are clearly making money, stocks will also continue to fall, such as Microsoft and Intel for the previous two years, with high profits, but the stock price has not fallen all the way, and the company's market value has evaporated a lot.

“I'm talking about XP systems, not our upcoming VISTA system. Anyway, our new system is about to go live. The maintenance time of this XP system will go into the countdown. What if it sells cheaper? ”

“Bill, if our XP stops next year but still sells this year, it will make consumers feel very unfair.” Ballmer warned.

“But we cut the sale price. Like the bakery sells in the evening, it's not fresh, that's why it's cheap. What we sell to the poor, the rich, naturally choose better, don't we?” Bill? Gates said, picking his eyebrows.

“What do you mean, we only do this in China and Eastern Europe? ”

“Yes. Wasn't Huaxia fighting piracy and so on? Didn't they want XOS to take over Huaxia and push us out? Then we can sell them now at prices that are acceptable to consumers and reclaim the market! ”

……

“President Feng, Microsoft's XP system software has fallen, didn't we have $199 in China, they have also fallen to this price.” Liu Legendary said.

“Don't worry, it's the same price, but we're offering other software for free. Those software, Microsoft, are they chargeable? And it's unimaginable to Microsoft that we give retailers discounts, which naturally push our products.” Feng Yu's face was calm.

XOS users are growing, sales are increasing, and they are gaining confidence. Ten percent of the market in a year doesn't seem impossible. Perhaps more than 10 per cent is also likely due to outbreaks in Huaxia and Eastern European markets.

The biggest question now is whether this volume can be consistently guaranteed, if not constantly increased. If people start out just curious, or buy because it's cheap, but then find it doesn't work, it's too hard to even think about making a PC system in Silver Mountain.

XP price reduction, Feng Yu is not in a hurry. Microsoft is about to launch a new system. At this time, the old system is selling at a reduced price. How many people will buy it? They don't worry. Shortly after buying it, they find the system backward?

This is not old furniture, it can be sold at a reduced price, it is used by others, and the system is a product that needs constant maintenance. In order to speed up the roll-out of the new system, Microsoft will inevitably miss out on the routine maintenance of the XP system.

Most importantly, Feng Yu knew very well that Microsoft's system architecture for VISTA was difficult to succeed in. Because Microsoft is still the market owner and doesn't care about most software companies.

By then, Microsoft will have a big round of heads just because it's a compatibility issue. Together with changes in operating habits, many people prefer to reload XP or replace it with a new system that provides long-term maintenance, such as XOS.

“Domestically, it's fair to say that our XOS sales are still very poor in foreign markets. While we have told consumers that our hardware drives and the compatibility of multiple software products are not a problem, it is difficult to expand our market share because most users are accustomed to choosing XP and even the brand manufacturers of those computers have agreements with Microsoft. ”

“Have we not finalized our agreement with those computer brand manufacturers? That's not good enough, is it?” Feng Yu frowned and asked back.

“The conditions we gave were definitely much better than Microsoft, and they all tried our system, and although some shortcomings were suggested, the advantages outweighed the shortcomings. I think they're just looking at the conditions we're giving, knowing we're trying to expand the market, and that's why we want better conditions. ”

Quite frankly, those manufacturers were just trying to get Lian to pay more for Silver Mountain, and they were glad to have a software company to come out and fight Microsoft, and save them from being kidnapped all the time by Microsoft.

Microsoft's uniqueness in the system makes hardware manufacturers suffer. All of the hardware is for Microsoft systems, software, which makes them very passive.

What can they do if IBM is defeated? Fruit companies' systems are far less popular than Microsoft's, even in the US market, and their systems are only used on their products.

But fruit companies are made of hardware and software, forming an ecological industry, and to put it bluntly, they can be self-sufficient. And the business strategy of fruit companies is to go high end and keep promoting brands as boutiques to increase their brand added value.

To put it bluntly, fruit products are extremely inexpensive and some software works well, but it works only very well. It's just that the brand operates well, and the profits of fruit companies are gradually rising.

“Tell them this is our last condition, and if they want to see Microsoft ruling them, then keep insisting.” Feng Yu said in disdain.

Those computer brand manufacturers should know that working with Yinshan is the best value for money. Not only is the price more affordable, but it also allows them to regain ownership, as some have chosen.

And now, they're supposed to be talking to Microsoft to see what Microsoft can offer.

“That's how we decided, too, not to let those manufacturers take our noses. It happens that our netbook test is complete and we intend to start production. We've decided that it's not just this netbook, it's all the other Lenovo computers, it's all XOS, and it's not pre-installed with Microsoft! ”

Once Feng Yu picked his eyebrows, Old Liu resolved to be so big.

“Are you sure? This could affect the sales volume of the product. Without surprise, Lenovo could have been the world's top PC producer and seller in five years. ”

“I'm sure I believe in XOS, and in the computer products we think about.” Liu Chuanzhi said firmly.

“Well, then I believe that within three years, even thinking about it will be the world's top PC producer! ”
