"Congratulations, Feng, the opening ceremony of Fengyu Games is very successful." Not only the richest people in Hong Kong were present, but also representatives from many electronics, network technology, and software companies around the world were present. Many people were proud to be invited. .
Those who were not invited tried their best to sneak in. They regarded this as a high-end party and a reflection of their identity and status.
"It's just a matter of making a name for itself first. The first game is still in intense internal testing and will not be available for public testing until next year."
"I heard that you are actively acquiring Explosive Snow?" Explosive Snow is a famous game company in North America and even the world. The slogan is that every product produced by Explosive Snow must be a high-quality product.
However, Baoxue Company also has no shortage of liquidity, and acquisitions are relatively difficult unless Feng Yu is willing to spend a lot of money. After all, every time Explosive Snow releases a game, it can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in profit.
"Yes, we have reached an agreement with Explosive Snow's parent company. In the future, we may be able to load Explosive Snow games on our gBox."
Feng Yu is very satisfied with Baoxue’s brand, technology and products. Feng Yu is also confident that Baoxue will be more successful in his hands than in his previous life!
"Congratulations first, our gBox will be even more successful in the future."
Neither Ballmer nor Feng Yu mentioned the conditions for cooperation. Whoever spoke first seemed to be at a disadvantage.
"Thanks."
The room suddenly fell into silence. Ballmer was a little crazy. Feng Yu was really difficult to deal with. This thank you seemed to be a summary, and the two of them suddenly stopped talking.
"Feng, will you go back to attend the regular board meeting next month?" Ballmer thought for a moment and asked.
"Go if you have time, forget it if you don't have time." Feng Yu still pretended to have no interest in Microsoft's regular board of directors meetings. It seemed that he entered the board of directors just to gain a kind of status respect, and to the company's Management, don't want to take care of it at all.
"Feng, Bill said that our new operating system sales in China are very good this year, and we are going to give you some more rewards in the year-end allotment."
"oh."
Ballmer is going crazy. What do you mean? Can we still chat? Giving you more Microsoft stock means giving you more money. Even if you are not short of money, you can't have this attitude, right
There was a little less last year. Didn’t you and Paul have a quarrel
"Feng, you are also a director of Microsoft and a major shareholder. If Microsoft makes money, you make money." Ballmer decided that he should speak first, otherwise Feng Yu seemed to have no intention of talking.
"Of course, but I said I am the third largest shareholder, but actually the proportion of shares I hold is not large." Feng Yu said with a smile. Can Microsoft's shareholding ratio be compared with other industries
"Feng, Microsoft is the largest company in the world and has unparalleled brand advantages." Ballmer emphasized.
"I don't think so. Microsoft is just the company with the highest market value in the world. It cannot be called the world's largest in terms of the number of employees or the scale of the company. As for the brand advantage, why don't I see it?"
"We have relevant system development experience, which is very rich."
"Sega, a new product that can be used with Microsoft systems, is on pre-sale, but not many people have ordered it, right? Otherwise Bill wouldn't want to find new partners, because he knows that Sega is doomed to fail."
Neither of them mentioned gBox, but they talked about cooperation on this project.
"Relatively speaking, you have no advantage."
"No, relatively speaking, our advantages are much more sufficient. First of all, we have relevant technologies. Although they are not the latest and greatest, they are not far behind the top companies, and you don't have them at all. Secondly, in some areas Technically, we are the best in the world, and we are even the industry standard setter. These technologies have a great impact on products. Another point is that our brand of consumer electronics is much stronger than Microsoft. I remember that Bill also seemed to like our Fengyu brand's premium Vnetbsp; Bill Gates has this problem, he likes the latest electronic products, and enjoys the convenience and experience brought by such products.
In the previous life, after Microsoft and Apple broke up, both sides attacked each other, and Fruit controlled some media reports. Bill Gates was dancing at home, listening to Fruit's MP3, which further increased the sales of Fruit's products.
Bill Gates is like a free advertisement for fruit. A product that even the world's richest people like must be the best product!
Now, Feng Yu is deliberately using this point to make a fuss. Doesn’t Bill Gates also like our Fengyu brand electronic products
Ballmer was a little helpless. Why did Bill buy a Fengyu brand? Seeing that Ballmer remained silent, Feng Yu continued to ask: "Do you think when buying a computer, do you pay more attention to the hardware configuration or the operating system? What? How much does a computer cost and how much does an operating system cost?"
Feng Yu just wants to tell Ballmer that the cost and value of hardware are much higher than software, which means that Microsoft is not particularly important.
It's really time to get desperate. Feng Yu can also entrust Lianxiang Yinshan to open the system, but he can't use the free LInux system. This is not allowed by Microsoft. After all, Feng Yu is still a shareholder of Microsoft and cannot slap himself in the face. , well, at least until he sells his Microsoft shares.
"Feng, if you have any specific requirements, please tell me."
"I gave in on the product name, but I can't give in on the rights and responsibilities of the product. I want absolute control of this gBox!"
The absolute controlling interest is not 51%, but more than two-thirds of the shares. In other words, Feng Yu must hold at least 67% of the shares.
Ballmer felt a little resentful. Why did you compromise on the product name? Doesn’t this gBox also use our Microsoft name? Everyone should take a step back, okay
Also, we may not be able to agree to your request for controlling rights. Now you actually want absolute controlling rights. When have you ever heard that Microsoft will hand over absolute controlling rights to others
Many small software companies have been acquired by us and become one of our departments!
"Feng, you should know that our minimum requirement is that each party holds 50% of the equity. Everything will be discussed."
"Impossible. If this is the case, then we can each do our own thing. I want to see what kind of good video game console Microsoft can make even if it acquires Sega. DVD-related technologies are mainly Our standards, and the makers of other standards, are Sunny and the others. I don’t think you can get the DVD patent license on good terms. You are not afraid of losing money, so you just make it yourself? No matter how bad I am, the Chinese market It can also be firmly held in hand.”
Ballmer suddenly discovered that Feng Yu was such a strong person. Judging from Feng Yu's attitude, it seemed that he would not let go. And what Feng Yu said was something they couldn't get around. If they still use cd-Rom technology like Sega, their products are destined to still be unable to compete with Sunny, Rentian, or even Feng Yu.
It seems that cooperating with Feng Yu is the best choice now.
