Although the release of the new system has undergone massive advertising, the sales situation is still unsatisfactory.
First of all, the XP system has not stopped maintenance, so many users still choose to continue using XP and are unwilling to spend money to replace it with a new system.
Starting from win95, they have understood Microsoft's routine, updating a system every two or three years, and then continuing to make money from them. On average, they pay nearly a hundred dollars a year just for the system. No wonder Microsoft is so rich.
But now this XP is very stable and comfortable to use. They want to wait for when XP will stop maintenance and when they will replace the system.
And soon, Microsoft responded. Their new system Vista will be successfully developed soon and will be available as soon as May next year.
And this system is Microsoft's epoch-making system. It has unparalleled powerful functions and will completely change people's perception of the system.
In short, Microsoft is exaggerating about this new system. Although it does not criticize Lianxiang Yinshan's xos, normal people understand who Microsoft is targeting with these advantages.
After this news appeared, more people chose to wait. After Vista was launched, they would see which system was better and make a choice.
However, they are told rationally that the better system must be Microsoft's system, just because the other party is Microsoft, which has been the leader of Windows systems for many years. Among PC manufacturers, in addition to fruits, even IBM has launched many notebooks equipped with Microsoft systems.
This is still happening abroad, but at home, more people also choose to wait and see. Although the price of this system is not high, they still feel that there should be a free version.
For the time being, they will still install the free xp. When xos becomes free, they will install the pirated version to express their "support".
What? Are you saying that pirates like Lianxiang Yinshan can’t get money? But after we use it, don’t you even think that Yinshan’s market share has increased? Isn't this good for your promotion
As for money, we are poor and cannot afford genuine products. You don't even want the Yinshan family to be short of our money, right
People who can afford a computer don’t have 200 yuan
Now the best places for new system sales are Eastern Europe, then Western Europe, followed by China, America, etc., and the last one is naturally Africa.
China is the home base of Lianxiang Yinshan, but its sales are not as good as those in Western Europe. This makes Qiu Bojun and others very depressed.
Although domestic piracy is far less widespread than in the past, many people still choose to install pirated versions, and the market's protection of intellectual property rights is far inferior to that in Europe and the United States.
…
"Mr. Feng, can you please help me with this matter?" Lei Dajun asked with a frown.
"Help from the higher ups? You mean to ask the higher ups to issue some policies to protect our genuine software?" Feng Yu asked.
"Yes, the main thing is to tell everyone clearly about the dangers of pirated software, and even spreading piracy is illegal. In particular, we need to strictly investigate those computer malls. Most of the shops that assemble machines install pirated software for users. Software." Lei Dajun was very angry about this. It was these people who ruined the market.
They worked hard, spent many years, and spent huge sums of money to develop systems and application software, but some pirated software obtained by these people took away the market.
In the Chinese market, Microsoft's genuine products are almost the same as pirated ones. If Feng Yu hadn't vigorously promoted genuine products over the years, and Microsoft's original genuine version was indeed cheap and supported by Lianxiang, pirated users would have outnumbered genuine users.
These pirated users are naturally individuals who own their own machines, as well as users from Internet cafes and small companies. As for those who buy brand-name machines, this is rarely the case, because now brand-name machines are directly pre-installed with genuine systems.
But there are also branded machines that do not come with genuine systems pre-installed, such as Shenzhou. Microsoft's systems are too expensive. Since they started operating in the Chinese market, system prices have continued to rise in the past two years. This has also caused the cost of Lianxiang's branded machines to continue to rise, giving China a greater price advantage.
Shenzhou sells in stores and franchises, and it develops very quickly. Those franchise stores used to make accessories or collect phones, so they naturally have pirated software resources in their hands.
You buy a computer, and I install the system and other software for you for free. This also makes consumers feel that they are taking advantage.
Feng Yu lowered his head and considered Lei Dajun's words, and it seemed that he should do the same. This market cannot be ruined by these disruptors who sell pirated copies. Penalties for infringement of intellectual property rights should even be increased, because those people use it to make profits.
Taking other people's things for free to make money for yourself is the most disgusting thing!
"Okay, leave this to me."
…
"What are you talking about? Fighting against piracy? Why are you coming to me? Go to the Publishing Department or other relevant units." Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu helplessly. Do you think I can take care of everything
"Isn't this considered protection of trade? How much effort did we make to join the WTO? Why have we been blocked many times from joining the WTO? Isn't the reason why there are many counterfeit and shoddy products in our country, rampant piracy, and insufficient protection of intellectual property rights? Then The state took some measures at that time, but now it has reappeared in the past two years, shouldn't we continue to crack down again?"
"Too much piracy has an immeasurable negative impact on trade. Some stores use free software installation as a promotional tool. This is unfair competition. Shouldn't you, the chief official in charge of trade, take care of it?"
"What's more, we are now going abroad and investors are welcome to come in. This will let people see that there are many pirated products, fake and shoddy products in our country. Do we still need the national image?" Feng Yu began to improve.
"Come on, stop singing your praises here. Which country doesn't have fakes? I remember you told me that people in your company bought some luxury goods when they traveled to France, but what they bought were also fakes, right? And didn’t you also say that fraud in the United States is also very serious?”
"The counterfeiting is serious, but their efforts to crack down on counterfeiting are also great. Especially their protection of intellectual property rights is much better than ours. As for movies, before they are released in our cinemas, pirated CDs have appeared, and the movies are still How to sell tickets? And those albums of songs, the original ones are not sold much, but the pirated ones are sold for millions, which also leads to the increasingly depressed situation of our record industry."
"Many times, this singer's songs are very popular, but he doesn't make any money. This person's movies are very good and have good reputation, but the box office is pitifully low. There are also some people's books that many people spend money to buy. Yes, but what I bought was a pirated copy, and neither the publisher nor the author made any money.”
"So among counterfeit goods, those that infringe on intellectual property rights should be attacked first. From an ideological point of view, people should understand that when you get something, you have to pay for it. This is an exchange of equal value. Only then can our cultural industry go global. , in order to penetrate our cultural thoughts into the West.”
Zhang Ruiqiang looked at Feng Yu sideways, wasn't he talking about piracy? You actually talked to me about the infiltration of cultural ideas
But, it seems
There is some truth to that.
