Chapter 1394 Cooperation and Layout
"I'm so happy, I'm really happy, more than 3,000 yuan in big bills are in my waist..."
"Ahem!" Feng Yu stood behind Wu Zhigang and cleared his throat, "More than three thousand yuan for you to be successful? Who is so insensitive, and this is the only gift for our vice president of Taihua Holdings?"
Wu Zhigang smiled awkwardly: "Boss, aren't you happy? Microsoft's office software is finished! Someone made a universal activation code generator, and the sales of their genuine software plummeted. According to our statistics, the sales of these few days have been directly It has fallen by more than 90%, and it is estimated that in a few days, it will be 0!"
"They can't sell it, so can we sell it? Others use it for free, so it doesn't affect us? This is a way to hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred. Don't forget, in the In terms of advertising, we invest more." Feng Yu reminded.
Yes, Microsoft's office software has suffered a heavy blow, but even Xiangyinshan's has also been greatly affected. The environment in foreign countries is different from that in China, but there are not so many pirates, and downloading from the Internet is not as crazy as in China.
Someone said in a previous life that few people use free software in foreign countries. One is that downloading is troublesome, and the other is that users are worried about security. In China, however, paid software is used by fewer people because it costs money. It's free, why spend money?
Even if someone burns CDs and sells them, Microsoft can ask the government to crack down on them. It is definitely illegal to make profits from piracy.
But after the emergence of piracy, the biggest advantage is that those small office software production companies can be eliminated. Their products cannot be sold, free or even used by no one, so they will definitely not be able to make a profit.
Small companies will not have sufficient funds, and this blow is enough to make them withdraw from this market. It doesn't matter if it's only for a short period of time, but this will last at least two or three years, and small companies will definitely not be able to survive.
The biggest loss here is Microsoft, followed by Lianxiang Yinshan, and the third is Softbank.
Softbank has invested in so many IT-related companies, among which there are many office software companies. This time, many of these companies will have to suffer dumb losses because they have no users, and even seriously bankrupt the company.
Feng Yu and the others are very clear that what they are competing with Microsoft is the future market.
When No. 1 and No. 2 in the world start to compete frantically, the ones who are usually ranked behind will suffer great losses. For example, in the previous life, Coke and Pepsi crazily snatched up the market in China, desperately advertising and promoting.
Then all the pink and yellow cola and all the usual cola disappeared. When Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji were crazily competing in the market, Heqi, which was selling well, suddenly disappeared from the screen and disappeared from people's sight.
This is a disguised form of pushing out the people behind and pulling the echelon apart. Those companies with insufficient funds are destined to become the second echelon at most, or even fall behind.
"Okay, the cost of advertising and publicity has been spent, so continue to maintain this enthusiasm. Maybe many people will use two kinds of software, and our software is not expensive. Some people will definitely worry that Microsoft's free software It may not be able to be used for a long time, and downloading is also prone to virus and Trojan horses, so most users who originally used the genuine version will still choose the genuine version. Especially those companies, they must be worried about the security of pirated office software." Feng Yu pointed out.
"Well, we think so too. We need to capture a group of users within two to three years. When we launch new office software with Microsoft again, we can gain the upper hand in one fell swoop."
Gain the upper hand in one fell swoop? Ambitious is not small. User inertia is a very powerful habit. Microsoft's office software has been dominant for more than ten years, and it has been the industry standard for at least five years. It is unrealistic to knock down the opponent all at once.
Microsoft's technical reserves are also very strong. This time, Microsoft was caught off guard, and our R&D costs are much lower than Microsoft's. But in two years, even the salaries of Yinshan's engineers will rise rapidly, and there will no longer be such a big advantage in terms of cost.
Fortunately, Feng Yu had already thought of this in advance. Taihua Holdings and Fengfeng Holdings have a business partner that has been cooperating for several years. It is the Tata Group of India. This group is also a super group company covering various industries. At the same time It is the number one group company in India.
Among them, Tata Consulting is also very powerful in terms of software. And India has always occupied a place in the world's IT industry.
How to get rid of the boss, the most common way is to join forces and push the boss down together, and then they will divide the boss's assets.
The most important thing is that Feng Yu has cooperated with the Tata Group on many projects, including automobiles, electronics, IT, trade, chemical industry, etc. Tata is the number one group company in India, and all the projects that Feng Yu does , Tata also do. The hundreds of subsidiaries under it are much more exaggerated than Feng Yu's.
In the United States, Feng Yu did not find a suitable partner. He originally wanted to cooperate with Bill Gates, but now it seems impossible.
So finding new partners is very important. There are Philips, Thomson and other companies in Europe. Although they are not as comprehensive as the Tata Group, they are also second to none in their respective fields.
Bill Gates thought that Feng Yu's foundation was too shallow, so Feng Yu let him see how the back waves overthrew the front waves!
Tata Communications of the Tata Group has acquired a majority stake in Capone Mobile in India, but they are slightly behind in mobile phone research and development. Originally, the mobile phone market in India was dominated by Nokia and Four Star, supplemented by Motorola and Capone, followed by Fengyu and Soai.
But Tata Communications wants to revitalize their own brand, so in terms of mobile phones, they also began to cooperate with Taihua Holdings.
They have taken a fancy to the cheapest mobile phone technology of Fengfeng Phone, and there is the smart phone. The cheapest mobile phone technology actually depends mainly on materials and production costs, so Fengyu Electronics has cooperated with Capone Mobile in various aspects on the condition that Capone Mobile will manufacture the cheapest mobile phone for Fengyu Mobile.
In the future, the name of the world's leading manufacturing country will gradually shift from China to India. Global manufacturing standard companies, including Fushikang, have also moved the focus of their factories from China to India, because the labor costs there are cheaper.
Feng Yu's plan is also to make India a foundry. Chinese people should not only do manufacturing with the lowest added value, but should let research and development take the lead.
It will be even more successful if one day those developed countries can manufacture Chinese products.
In Feng Yu's impression, there is such a company that has achieved it, and that is Galanz, the world leader in microwave ovens at this time. Speaking of Fengyu Electronics, they also studied the technology of microwave ovens and light-wave ovens, but later they simply invested in technology. Lanz, in exchange for a small amount of shares.
Under the leadership of their boss, Galanz not only rushed out of the country and became the world's number one in production and sales, but also redefined the microwave oven, directly reducing the price of microwave ovens from more than 2,000 yuan to less than 500 yuan now.
What Feng Yu is most proud of is that Galanz found an OEM from an island country company, and gave the other party a processing fee of five dollars for one machine. It has always been an island brand to find a Chinese company as an OEM, but Galanz did the opposite, and it succeeded, which is really a shame.
Feng Yu also thought that one day, the island country or even the United States and other countries would be able to manufacture Chinese products, and that would be really too successful.
"President Feng, Ballmer's call."
