readx(); After leaving Microsoft headquarters, Feng Yu called Liu Chuanzhi and told him to speed up the development of web browser forum office software and other software. These software are all based on the win95 system. www. しwxs520. com Another important thing is anti-virus software.

At this time, the system firewall is too easy to be breached, and the system has many loopholes. In the past few years, anti-virus software has also been booming. If it can occupy this market, even if it only occupies half of the Chinese market, the profits will be absolutely huge.

To Feng Yu's surprise, Liu Chuanzhi told him that Yinshan failed to acquire it successfully. It seemed that the people in Yinshan were all very arrogant. Their valuation of software technology was too high, and it was difficult for Liu Chuanzhi and others to agree with it.

However, Liu Chuanzhi and others also saw the potential of Yinshan. They did have strong capabilities in office software, anti-virus software, browsers, etc., so in the end, although they failed to fully acquire it, they also invested a sum of money to participate in the stock.

Feng Yu was a little disappointed with this, but he could accept the result. In the future, all kinds of office software will be the most profitable, including Microsoft's later main profit-making software, which will also be a top priority.

For the time being, it is too difficult to catch up with Microsoft in terms of computer systems. But in the future, there will be mobile operating systems. The profits in this area are definitely not smaller than those of computers, or even greater.

Now Feng Yu will train a group of top software engineers, and then express some of his ideas and let them turn them into reality.

The biggest difference between mobile operating systems and computer operating systems is that mobile operating systems occupy less memory, and future Windows systems will occupy more and more storage space.

It was precisely because it was so big that they lost out on mobile operating systems, allowing Google to dominate the world. Let the fruit dominate.

If Feng Yu's memory is correct, these two years should be the years when the fruit company suffered the most losses. It seems that Jobs also left the fruit company, so the engineers of the fruit company. Can some be poached

In the past, software engineers were more famous in companies that were considered elite, mainly Microsoft, Google, Fruit, Facebook, etc. As for engineers from other companies, they were considered second-rate, including Yahoo, which will be proud of the rest in two years. They failed. The biggest reason, many people say, is not poor decision-making. It's because they don't have the best technical staff to stay ahead of the curve.

Feng Yu is very aware of the importance of technological leadership. If he can apply for a patent or something, it will not only bring huge profits, but also block the progress of others. Of course, blocking others' progress is not the goal, but always staying ahead is the wisest approach.

"Paul, what do you think of Feng's request?" Bill Gates had a headache. The conditions proposed by Feng Yu were too harsh, but he couldn't refuse them outright.

"Reject them all!" Paul Allen said angrily, "I want to join the board of directors. This is not non-negotiable, but he actually used the Chinese market to threaten us, which is absolutely unforgivable. We at Microsoft can be threatened by anyone. Of?"

"Paul, calm down. I wanted to reject him too, but what he said makes sense. We need to open up the Chinese market, which is a market bigger than North America, or even the entire American market, with huge future potential. So A big cake. Don't you want to eat it?" Of course he thought about refusing, but the benefits were too tempting. He couldn't bear to say no.

"But we are Microsoft, and we can make all hardware companies surrender. Can't we make them surrender?" Paul Allen asked dissatisfiedly. Although Microsoft received sanctions as a result, it also proved Microsoft's strength. And Microsoft today is more powerful than yesterday.

"That's China, one of the most powerful countries in the East, and the way the market is managed is completely different from ours. Feng even hinted to me that if he doesn't want us to enter the Chinese market, then we will never be able to enter the Chinese market. Think about it. India, aren't we blocked out? If we lose the Indian market and then lose the Chinese market, do you know how much we will lose? If China also develops its own software system company, then we will have more A competitor. If a company has the support of the state, its development speed is absolutely unimaginable!" Bill Gates said worriedly.

Paul Allen also frowned. Now the other party has made it clear that if they cooperate, Microsoft will have a lot of benefits, but the other party wants even greater benefits. Either the two break up, Microsoft will suffer great losses, while the other party's losses will be much smaller.

"Damn it, how about we agree to a condition for him? For example, let him join the board of directors, but ask him to help Microsoft completely enter China. If Microsoft makes money, isn't it also him who makes money?" Paul Allen thought for a while and said.

"I mentioned this, but he didn't agree. He said two conditions were indispensable. He not only wanted to join the board of directors, but he also asked us to give Lianxiang the cheapest price, a price of twelve dollars!" Bill Gates shook Shaking his head, if there was only one condition, he might not need to hesitate so much.

"But if this price is known to other companies, it will greatly affect the credibility of our Microsoft!"

After all, the price of the system software that Microsoft sells with other companies' computers is much higher than this. The cost of using any office software is more than twelve dollars, not to mention the cost of the system. Once it is discovered that the discrimination is so serious, other PC vendors will inevitably jointly ask Microsoft to reduce prices, which will cause Microsoft huge losses and even the stock price will plummet.

"Paul, this is also the most difficult part for me. Feng also grasped this point. If he joins the Microsoft board of directors, he will never let this news break out. And in that Chinese computer company, Feng also has a lot of shares , he must be able to control it. He must also ensure that this news will not be revealed. Otherwise, Microsoft will lose money, and Feng will also lose a lot of money."

"Bill, what do you mean, have you already decided? Agree to such ridiculous conditions? How much money can we make at such a cheap price? Several million dollars, or ten million dollars?" Paul Allen retorted loudly.

"So I am going to promise him this time and provide him with an extremely low price, but require that their computers must have a clear logo of our Microsoft, and we must also carry out a lot of advertising for our Microsoft, including advertisements for their products. , we must also have our advertising. And we can use this in turn to promote, saying that IE is already the browser with the most users in the world, so that we can promote the IE browser in Europe and the United States."

"Then how do you get him to join the board of directors? His stocks are all non-voting shares. Once they are all converted into voting shares, that is 15% of the equity!"

"In exchange, you and I will each exchange 1% of the voting shares with him for non-voting shares. Don't you also want to cash out a sum of money and invest it in your new company? You can just sell the non-voting shares." Bill ?Gates makes a decision.

"Well, now that you have made your decision, I will support you." Paul Allen stubbed out the cigar hard.

What a damn decision! (To be continued.)
