"Lao Lei, how are you? Our office software sales are very good these days, right?" Feng Yu called Lei Dajun and asked with a smile.
"Sales were indeed very hot in the first three days, but starting from the day before yesterday, some problems appeared. It seems that the number of pirated users of Microsoft increased, which also affected the sales of our products."
Um? Microsoft's pirate users surge? This is impossible, right? Microsoft also launched a new office software, but it was cracked so quickly
Even if it is an ordinary cracked version, but there is no activation code, it can be used for a month at most, right? Moreover, if you use Microsoft's system, it will be automatically recorded. Unless you reinstall the system, you can install pirated copies again. Aren't those people afraid of trouble? Many people don't know how to reinstall the system at all. They also have to spend money, right
WPS office software has a promotional price of only 69 yuan. Most people who use it frequently will choose to spend money to install it, right? Could it be that someone made a completely cracked version
"What, do you know who cracked Microsoft's protection program? Can you secretly recruit him to our company? This is a talented person."
Those who create Trojan horses and other viruses are also masters of computer software. If such a person can take the right path, the value created will definitely be very high.
"Mr. Feng, the situation seems a bit strange. Now there is a software called Office Activation Code Generator on the market. You can directly generate the activation code, and then you can activate the pirated Microsoft Office software normally, just like the genuine version, without using it. limit!"
"We traced the place where this software first appeared, but what is particularly puzzling to us is that this software suddenly appeared on the Internet the day before yesterday, and then was uploaded to major domestic websites in large numbers in a short period of time, providing free downloads. The first uploaded address was an Internet cafe."
"Someone cracked it and uploaded it through an Internet cafe. This is normal and understandable. But in less than two hours, it quickly appeared on multiple websites. This is very problematic, indicating that someone is using the server to refresh news. Let many people know that there is such a free activation code generator!”
When Feng Yu heard this, he also felt that there was something wrong. Someone has cracked it. Don't use it to make profits. For example, you can provide activation codes for a fee. It costs ten yuan each. There should be many people willing to try it. Or provide an activation code generator for a fee. As long as you make a protection program so that an activation code generator can only be used within three times, or even only once, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money
I dare not say more, but selling tens of thousands of copies will not be a problem, that is one hundred thousand yuan.
Even if this person doesn't want to make a profit through this, but he still lets everyone know about this news, this is a bit deliberately aimed at Microsoft. But the strangest thing is that there is no word on the Internet that Microsoft has spoken out, condemned, or issued a statement to hold people accountable.
Normal companies will tell consumers that doing so violates the law and infringes on intellectual property rights. Even if Microsoft's current software sales are not as good as Yinshan's, they can still sell a lot.
Even if there are 100,000 copies, according to Microsoft's previous selling price of 169 yuan, that is more than 10 million yuan, which is at least 2 million U.S. dollars.
What's more, how could Microsoft only sell 100,000 copies
"You mean, this matter has something to do with Microsoft itself?" Feng Yu asked in surprise.
"Mr. Feng, it's not that we are shady, but you think about it. Microsoft's security protection program is also top-notch in the world. This activation code generator should be one of the core security protection. How can it be cracked so easily? If the person who cracked it was a Microsoft program developer, then it would be easier to explain."
"And Microsoft's indifference to this is clearly a form of connivance. As a result, more users will choose to download Microsoft office software on the Internet, and then download or get an activation code generator from a friend. It can be used normally.”
"Although our office software is easier to use than Microsoft's in some functions, in fact, it is not particularly easy to use. And it mainly adds some advanced functions, and most people cannot use those advanced functions. . Although our prices are very cheap, who is willing to spend money when there are free ones?"
"However, we still find it strange. If it was caused by internal Microsoft employees, they would do it because they have resentment against Microsoft. But even so, Microsoft should respond. Unless Microsoft wants to let piracy spread. But doing this will affect the sales of our products, but what good will it do to them?"
Feng Yu pondered for a moment: "This matter is really good for Microsoft. First of all, they can sue those who use piracy, especially those companies and even political axes. In this way, they can not only get a compensation, but also It can expand their influence.”
"Secondly, they will make users use Microsoft's office software more and abandon our office software. How much promotion have we done to get users accustomed to using our software, and how much energy have we spent? If users don't buy us genuine software, then our new product will not be able to recover the development costs, resulting in losses."
"Although Microsoft will also lose money through this move, Microsoft has a big business. It is not a problem for them to lose one to two billion US dollars a year. If our Lianxiang Yinshan Company suddenly loses one to two billion RMB, The impact is not small.”
Feng Yu understood that the meaning of Microsoft's move was obvious, which was to hurt each other.
And Microsoft wants to use its stronger capital to defeat Lianxiang Yinshan, or at least make Lianxiang Yinshan lose money in office software. Without the support of this part of profits, Lianxiang Yinshan's development of other software such as computer operating systems is bound to be affected.
"Lao Lei, have our research and development costs been recovered?" Feng Yu asked.
"There is no profit at all in the foreign market at this time. If we can't sell it in the domestic market, we may still lose some money, but it won't be too big. But according to our plan, this year we will lose 20% of our revenue just for office software this year." There should be more than 500 million US dollars in profit. Without this money, all our R&D plans will be seriously affected."
"Our operating system is reaching a critical stage and we are in urgent need of large sums of money. Our smartphone system is only used by Fengyu mobile phones and Aihua mobile phones. In addition, our selling price is not high and there is no profit. Anti-virus software market There is too much competition now. We can only create some profits by relying on enterprise-level security protection. Ordinary anti-virus software can only maintain capital."
Lianxiang Yinshan's development plan was completely disrupted.
But Microsoft also underestimated Lian Xiang Yinshan, or in other words, underestimated Feng Yu. Isn't it just burning money? Who can't afford it
"I will return to China tomorrow and inform Lao Liu and beg them. Let's hold a meeting and declare war on Microsoft!"
