The First Thousand and Thirty-Two Chapters Make Progress

The cooperation proposal was approved, but the specific terms of the cooperation still need to be discussed in detail. Lewen Mobile Network This time Feng Yu gave Bill Gates face, came to the United States, and talked with Bill Gates in person.

"Feng, the board of directors has already approved the plan to cooperate with your company. Do you know this?"

"Of course." Although Feng Yu didn't come, Ralph will still inform Feng Yu about the board of directors.

"You own 67 percent of the shares, so how much do you plan to invest? And how much does Microsoft need to invest?"

"I invested 200 million US dollars, and Microsoft also invested 200 million US dollars."

Bill Gates frowned, investing in a one-to-one ratio, but getting two-to-one shares, isn't Feng Yu going too far?

Although he admits that the technologies controlled by Feng Yu are very important, but it's not that bad, right?

"Oh, by the way, this time the cooperation with Microsoft is not Fengyu Electronics, but Aihua Xiaobawang."

Fengyu Electronics, with its VCD, DVD and Fengyu mobile phone, is well-known in the field of consumer electronics in the world. But Bill Gates has never heard of Aiwa Xiaobai.

Feng Yu actually used a company he had never heard of to cooperate with them, instead of Fengyu Electronics as mentioned before, which made him feel like he was being tricked.

No one can play him Bill? Gates, no one!

"Feng, this seems to be different from what we talked about before. I think you made a mistake?"

"No, I'm sure, it's Aihua Xiaobawang. This company, the one that Ballmer has inspected and has game console production technology, is also controlled by me. As for the DVD-related technology you are worried about, it is naturally included. .”

"By the way, the R&D team also needs to be in Huaxia. We invest and build a product R&D center there. People from Microsoft also want to work there. Of course, if you think it's okay to work here, I No problem, but I will not provide office space."

"Feng! I've already made a major concession. I've given you the absolute controlling stake in the new company, but don't go too far!" Bill said angrily.

"Bill, we can think about it in reverse. If Microsoft is the controlling shareholder, where will you let the R & D team work? And the development of home video game consoles, the hardware is the most important, my people are all in the world Top notch. As for the software, wouldn't it be enough to have a computer?"

Since it is already an absolute controlling stake,

Of course, the company's affairs must be done according to Feng Yu's requirements.

In the previous life, Microsoft made its own XBOX. After the first generation was launched, there were numerous negative reviews. The sales volume of game consoles was similar to that of Sega, but the price was lower.

In other words, not many people are willing to buy it at a discount. At that time, the price of a game console was 299 US dollars, and the cost of Microsoft to produce one was 430 US dollars!

In other words, Microsoft had the highest production cost in the field of home game consoles at that time, but the things they made were the worst. Well, that doesn’t include Sega, who later quit the field of video game consoles.

And this game console, the global final sales exceeded 20 million units, and Microsoft lost more than 3 billion US dollars!

This is the ambition of Bill Gates, and this is the product they think can teach Sonny and Rentian a lesson.

Later, Microsoft accumulated experience and knew that it paid attention to user feedback, improved technology, and produced more fun game consoles. However, it still lost to Sunny and Ren Tiantian, but it finally reversed its reputation and turned losses into profits.

But how did the second-generation game console turn losses into profits? Because they are using the IBM core that Microsoft has most disdain to cooperate with.

Although Microsoft's second-generation machine has sold more than 80 million units, the profits it earned have not been able to make up for the losses of the previous generation machine.

Counting the investment in research and development, the investment in operating the service website, etc., Microsoft has lost billions of dollars for this game console!

Of course, billions of dollars are nothing compared to Microsoft's big business. But I have to say that this was a failed investment, although Microsoft later received a lot of praise.

Because more than ten years later, fewer and fewer people buy this kind of game console. Although Microsoft claims that this is a somatosensory game console, which can make people feel immersive, but in fact, that's all there is to it. Being immersive is too far away.

Bill Gates just wanted to say something, Feng Yu continued: "Bill, what is the labor cost in the United States, and what is the labor cost in China? We produce in China, which can greatly reduce our cost and enhance the quality of our products. Competitiveness."

Bill Gates was silent. Of course he knew that it was the most correct choice to manufacture this product in China, which has ready-made factories, low-cost labor, and relatively mature development experience.

But he was displeased with Feng Yu's attitude. Why did Feng Yu propose all the conditions, but Feng Yu didn't agree to any of them?

"Even if what you said makes sense, in terms of management, we must manage it together, including all departments such as product development, production, and sales."

"Bill, do you know how to sell electronic products? In this regard, I have more experience than Microsoft. My brand, my product, from scratch, from the cracks of so many big companies to the point where I am today, my sales The team has contributed a lot, so the sales aspect should be handed over to me, and in North America, if Microsoft is willing, it can be responsible.”

"In terms of production, Microsoft has never produced such products, and has never even set foot in such factories. You are nothing more than making some system CDs. In terms of production, it is also my team that is better. Choose the best, and you should It is managed by my team. If a factory is built in North America in the future, the management here can be handed over to Microsoft.”

"Not to mention R&D. The main R&D team is mine. Of course, software and hardware can be separated. For software, Microsoft is responsible, and for hardware, my team is responsible. Is this reasonable? As for game development, We can do it together and we can discuss it.”

"There are also logistics, financial and other departments. Everyone can manage together and discuss. As for the president of the company, I should be the one to appoint it, right?"

Bill Gates stared blankly at Feng Yu, and talked for a long time, why did it seem that he shot himself in the foot with a rock? Most of the company's management rights were taken away by Feng Yu, and the rest was discussed by everyone. If the discussion fails, what should we do? The president should make the decision, and the president should be appointed by Feng Yu. Doesn't Feng Yu have the final say on this company?

"Bill, believe me, we will create a bright future, launch the revolution of home video game consoles, and change people's perception of game consoles. We will step on Souni, Ren Tiantian, etc., all these achievements belong to All of us!"

Perhaps it was Feng Yu's words of trampling Sunny and Rentiantang that moved Bill Gates, and finally Bill Gates nodded: "Okay. If the first generation of products fails, then I will be the president. Appointment, and no matter who wants to sell the shares of this company, the other party can use the same conditions to buy first. Also, there must be a clear logo of Microsoft on the game console. "

"No problem, then we have a happy cooperation!"
