"Ballmer, have you read Lianxiang's announcement?" Bill Gates asked with a frown.
"Are you saying that Lianxiang Group said that in the future, the branded machines they produce will only have XOS pre-installed?"
"What are your thoughts on this matter?"
"I think they want to imitate the Fruit Company. However, the sales of Fruit Company's products are very average. Neither their software nor their PCs are the best. But when they are combined, they have outstanding performance in terms of speed. Very suitable for business office." Ballmer thought for a while and replied.
"Why don't you think they are the second IBM? They are involved in both hardware and software."
"IBM used to be the IT leader in our North American market, but because of its balance, it was gradually surpassed in every aspect. But Lianxiang Group is different. Their hardware and software are separated. And they have advantages in the Chinese and Eastern European markets. , unparalleled, and IBM cannot match this."
"So I think IBM's future development potential is not as good as that of Lianxiang Group and Lianxiang Yinshan, especially since both companies have Feng's shares. Everyone has seen how amazing Feng is."
Bill Gates was not very satisfied with Ballmer's answer. Why is Feng Yu so amazing? Isn't Microsoft just behind us? We at Microsoft are the miracle of the IT industry!
"So have you figured out how to deal with them?"
"We have worked out a way, which is to let all IT manufacturers know that Feng Yu has invested in many related companies such as Lianxiang, Lianxiang Yinshan, Chaowei, Eagle Weida, Aihua Electronics, etc., and he is ambitious and intends to Unify the IT industry!"
"Unify the IT industry? Does anyone believe this?" None of Feng Yu's companies are number one in the world, so how can they be unified? Without the leadership of leading companies, how can we stand out
"What if we say, they want to surpass IBM? Or even say, they want to acquire IBM?"
"Acquiring IBM? Feng Yu really said that?" Bill Gates was shocked.
If Lianxiang Group merges with IBM, it will really become the leader in the IT industry. Although it cannot form a monopoly, its strength will definitely be further strengthened, enough to suppress former leading companies such as Microsoft and Intel.
"In fact, it is Liu Chuanzhi, the chairman of Lianxiang Group. He once expressed to IBM that he wanted to acquire IBM's overall PC business, including brand, production, sales and other related businesses. If this can succeed, then Lianxiang Group Our PC business will become number one in the world!”
Hearing Ballmer's words, Bill Gates couldn't help but pause for a moment while holding his cigar in his hand. Only then did he see that Lianxiang Group was really ambitious.
Fortunately, it's just the PC business. If Lianxiang Group, Lianxiang Yinshan and IBM merge, they will really become the IT leader. By then, they will surpass Microsoft in software, and they will not be accused of monopoly, unless they will exceed Wei, Yingweida, Kingstone, etc. were also merged together, but normal managers would not choose this.
Seeing Bill Gates' silence, Ballmer continued: "As long as we let this trend go, things will develop in our favor. No company will be willing to watch Lianxiang Group grow bigger." Especially since the Lianxiang Group is so strong, it will share their cake."
"The most important thing here is Feng. Because of him, no one will believe this statement. Otherwise, who can buy IBM, and how can IBM's shareholders sell it? Small fish eat big fish, ordinary fish can't do that, but Sharks can eat whales!"
Ballmer's method is to praise Lianxiang Group, saying how powerful and ambitious Lianxiang Group is, and then let other IT companies spontaneously unite to exclude them, thus suppressing their development.
The important thing is that Microsoft doesn't have to pay anything for this.
…
The media suddenly reported that Feng Yu invested in an IT industry company, and pointed out that Feng Yu wanted to do hardware, software, network and communications at the same time, become the leader of IT companies, and formulate industry rules.
To put it bluntly, Feng Yu wants to be the boss, and other companies will listen to Feng Yu from now on.
As soon as this statement came out, it really caused an uproar in the industry.
Especially the leading representatives of IT-related companies are the most nervous.
For example, Yahu, the leading portal website, thought of the portal websites invested by Feng Yu in China, as well as other Internet companies, including those invested by the United States.
For example, Yingteer thought of Chaowei's series of actions, and his vigilance suddenly increased a lot.
There is also ATI. They feel that the threat of Eagle Weida is getting bigger and bigger, and they may surpass them at any time. Other mobile phone manufacturers have noticed that the sales of Fengyu mobile phones have been rising recently, and they are already becoming the second in the world.
IBM is second, and Fruit Company is second. This is the industry's evaluation of Lianxiang Group. It is even believed that because of Feng Yu's existence, it will be a matter of time before it surpasses IBM or Fruit Company.
This also triggered a situation, that is, the stock price of Lianxiang Group rose sharply, and the valuation of Lianxiang Yinshan, which was about to be listed, also increased significantly.
Feng Yu closed the notebook in front of him. IBM is second, Fruit Company is second? Nonsense!
He never thought about doing anything second, he wanted to find a unique path. Those media said that Feng Yu wanted to dominate the IT industry and become the number one IT tycoon. This was true. That’s what Feng Yu thought.
When he becomes the boss, he can re-make the rules. The person who makes the rules is obviously much easier to develop than the person who follows the rules, because he still has the power to change the rules!
In the previous life of the fruit company, everything from software to hardware showed such pride. Hardware products, from PCs to MP3s, to mobile phones, tablets, etc., have become the most high-end category in the industry.
All other brands' products must be compared with the fruit company's products to prove their technical excellence. But he didn't realize that this already recognized his status as the boss of the fruit company.
In this life, the fruit company has just begun to develop tablets and mobile phones. The tablet computer has not yet been successful, and the mobile phone was developed in cooperation with Motorola, and the main product is also a music phone.
The fruit company in this life is far less successful than the previous one, because in the previous life, the fruit company made huge profits from IPOD, but in this life, it was suppressed by AIWA's MP3. AIWA is the leader in the field of music players. It's not fruit, it's not Sunny, it's not any other brand.
It can suppress fruits and squirrels, so why can't it suppress other PC manufacturers and other software manufacturers
Last month, Feng Yu said at the executive meeting of Taihua Holdings Group that our company should not be second to something, but to be ourselves and make ourselves number one!
