"Come in. Tianlai Novel"
Feng Yu grabbed the phone on the table: "Hey, Steve, why are you calling me when you have time? What I told you last time, have you thought clearly about working at Fengyu Holdings or Taihua Holdings? "
Ballmer is still very capable, and he has worked at Microsoft for many years and has a wide network of contacts. If he switches jobs, Lianxiang Yinshan's software sales will definitely reach a higher level. And Ballmer also knew all of Microsoft's strategic plans at this time. Although he couldn't say it out according to the contract, there were many other ways to make a significant contribution if he didn't say it out.
But Feng Yu also knew that Ballmer would not come. At Microsoft, he was president and CEO, but at Fengyu Holdings or Taihua Holdings, he could only hold one of the positions of president or CEO at most. If there were others to check and balance him, why would he change jobs? Microsoft gives me a lot of money.
"Feng, on behalf of Microsoft this time, I want to inform you of something. Next week, Bill will go to China, and the leaders of your country have shown a warm welcome. I think it is better for us to cooperate again."
Lianxiang Yinshan has state-owned assets, and China's political influence is much greater than that of the United States in terms of business. As the former world's richest man and the head of the world's number one software company, Bill Gates will be received by important figures in any country he goes to.
This time they planned to put pressure on Lian Xiang Yinshan and even get Feng Yu to compromise through the upper management.
Of course, it would be better if Feng Yu could compromise now, and they could spend a lot less money.
"Bill comes to China? Haha, is this how you talk about cooperation? Don't forget, in our original contract on the g-Box project, I can forcefully acquire your shares at 1.5 times the market price. Since you are now With this attitude, from now on this g-Box will have nothing to do with Microsoft."
Although it seems that the premium of 1.5 times is a bit of a loss, as long as Aihua Xiaobawang Company is listed, the stock price will easily double. Feng Yu can cash out through the stock market at any time and earn back the money.
Aihua Xiaobawang was preparing to go public at the beginning, but Microsoft asked to be listed on Nasdaq, and Feng Yu asked to be listed in Xiangjiang or on the mainland. There were serious differences between the two parties, and the listing was stopped.
In fact, it doesn’t matter where it is listed. Feng Yu just wants to tell Microsoft that he has the final say on this g-Box, not Bill Gates!
"Feng, please think carefully. If you do this, we will no longer have any room for maneuver!" Ballmer said in a harsh tone.
"Do we have room for maneuver now? As a result, unless one party admits defeat, the competition will not end. You have already used such despicable means to grab the market, is it still interesting to say this?"
Burning money to grab the market is not just relying on how much money you have at Microsoft. As a result, I wanted to burn a box of money, but accidentally burned a car!
"What do you mean we are inferior? Didn't you make that software in the European and American markets? When it comes to unfair competition, you are the most abhorrent!" Ballmer angrily yelled.
"Whether it is in the European, American or Chinese markets, the software that appears is not made by us. I can even say that none of our employees did this. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Ballmer didn't say anything for a long time. Since Feng Yu said this, based on his understanding of Feng Yu, I'm afraid it's true. If Feng Yu really did it, Feng Yu is not afraid to admit it.
At first, I just wanted to seize the markets in China and Eastern Europe and suppress Lianxiang Yinshan. Unexpectedly, I failed and the entire office software market was trapped. Fortunately, they can continue to provide update services for older office software, ensuring that there is no massive loss of users.
But even so, they can only hold on. At least the market share continues to increase, and those small office software companies are being squeezed out one by one.
In any industry, the market is very important, or the most important part. Even the tycoons of the Wal-Mart family once said that the market is king. If they control the market, they can formulate their own rules of the game and let others abide by them, thus ensuring their maximum profits!
The reason why Microsoft is accused of monopoly is because they want to use their strength in PC operating systems to let their other products also occupy the market. It's free at the beginning, no money required, but after the market is controlled, you can make profits through some value-added services or advertising.
After Ballmer hung up the phone, he conveyed Feng Yu's words to Bill Gates.
Bill Gates was silent for a while, then waved Ballmer out. Regardless of that, for the current plan, he is going to seize the market through China's political intervention.
…
"Commissioner Bao, I, Feng Yu, took the liberty of calling you. Are you not disturbing me?"
"Hahaha, of course not. What's wrong with you?" Commissioner Bao asked with a smile.
He thought that his relationship with Feng Yu was not that close. If nothing happened, why would Feng Yu call him.
"I heard that Bill Gates is coming over in two days? Who will meet him?"
"Oh, this matter, yes, it is an interview with Mr. Wei. What, do you want to participate? That's right, top foreign businessmen are coming, and we in China must have corresponding people to accompany us."
Mr. Wei? Vice. Let Ballmer brag as if Bill Gates can meet whomever he wants. Besides, if you go to accompany Bill Gates, you will give him face!
"It doesn't matter whether I participate or not. Can you help me make an appointment with Mr. Wei? I want to talk to Mr. Wei about something."
Five minutes later, Commissioner Bao personally called back and informed Feng Yu that at 6:30 in the evening, Mr. Wei could talk to Feng Yu for about 20 minutes.
…
"Hello, Mr. Wei."
"Mr. Feng, hello. This is our first time meeting. I have always wanted to meet you who have made great contributions and set examples for the country's economic construction. Today is a good start. You take the initiative to meet us. Is it because of Bill Gates?" Mr. Wei asked with a smile.
Feng Yu was not ambiguous and said directly: "Bill Gates' Microsoft is competing with our country's Lianxiang Yinshan Software Company for the market. They are now eager to open up the Chinese market and seek higher profits. We Lianxiang Yinshan is a top software development company in China and even in Asia and Eastern Europe, and is confident to compete with Microsoft and win."
"You mean, Lianxiang Yinshan is better than Microsoft?" Mr. Wei couldn't believe it. Isn't Microsoft number one in the world
"We each have our own advantages. Lianxiang Yinshan is working on a personal computer operating system and has already made breakthrough progress. We will launch this system by the end of the year at the latest and seize Microsoft's market. Even now, we are Smartphone operating systems, office software, etc. are also competing with Microsoft."
"When Microsoft comes this time, there will definitely be some demands. I ask the country to support our own companies and not to be deceived by the seemingly good conditions offered by Microsoft. They want to seize our market resources. Regardless of their conditions. No matter how good it is, it is not as good as the development of our own company. Moreover, even Xiang Yinshan's market value is seriously underestimated, and we must not agree to let them take shares... "
When leaving Mr. Wei, Feng Yu looked relaxed. Mr. Wei's choice was, of course, to support Lian Xiang Yinshan. He also said that if Microsoft has commercial demands, it will definitely not agree immediately. It will hold a meeting and invite Feng Yu to participate, and everyone will discuss it before making a decision.
Bill Gates' plan to travel to China is doomed to fail!
