Chapter 1395: Market Is King
"Come in."
Feng Yu grabbed the phone on the table: "Hey, Steve, why do you call me when you have time? What I told you last time, have you considered clearly about going to work at Fengyu Holdings or Taihua Holdings? "
Ballmer's ability is still very strong, and he has worked at Microsoft for many years and has a wide network of contacts. If he jumps over here, then Lianxiang Yinshan's software sales will definitely be able to reach a higher level. And Ballmer also knows all of Microsoft's strategic plans at this time. Although he can't say it according to the contract, he can make significant contributions in many other ways if he doesn't say it clearly.
But Feng Yu also knew that Ballmer would not come. At Microsoft, he was the president and concurrently, but at Fengyu Holdings or Taihua Holdings, he can only be the president or one of the positions at most. If there are others to check and balance him, why change jobs? Microsoft also paid a lot of money.
"Feng, I am representing Microsoft this time to inform you of something. Next week, Bill will go to China, and the leaders of your country have shown a warm welcome. I think it is better for us to cooperate again."
Even thinking that Yinshan has state-owned assets, China's political influence is much stronger than that of the United States in terms of business. As the former richest man in the world and the helm of the world's largest software company, Bill Gates will be interviewed by important figures in any country he goes to.
This time, they intend to put pressure on the upper echelons to make Lian Xiang Yinshan and even Feng Yu compromise.
Of course, it would be even better if Feng Yu could compromise now, and they could spend a lot less money.
"Bill came to China? Hehe, that's how you guys talk about cooperation? Don't forget that I could use one and a half times the market price of our contract on the project to forcefully buy out the shares in your hands. Since you have this attitude now , from now on, it will have nothing to do with you Microsoft."
Although it seems that the premium of 1.5 times is a bit of a loss, as long as Aihua Xiaobawang is listed, the stock price will easily double. Feng Yu can cash out through the stock market at any time to get the money back.
At the beginning, Aihua Xiaobawang was going to go public, but Microsoft asked to be listed on Nasdaq, and Feng Yu asked to be listed in Xiangjiang or in the mainland. The two sides had serious differences, and the listing was stopped.
In fact, it doesn't matter where it goes public, Feng Yu just wants to tell Microsoft that he has the final say, not Bill Gates!
"Feng, think carefully. If you do this, we will have no room for maneuver!" Ballmer said in a harsh tone.
"Do we have room for maneuver now? The current result, unless one side admits defeat, the competition will not end. You have used all the cheap methods to grab the market. Is it interesting to say these things?"
Burning money to grab the market is not just relying on your Microsoft's money. As a result, I wanted to burn a box of money, but accidentally burned a car!
"What do you mean we are low-level? Didn't you make the software in the European and American markets? You are the most abominable in terms of unfair competition!" Ballmer scolded angrily.
"Whether it is the European, American or Chinese market, the software that appeared was not made by us. I can even say that none of our employees did this. Believe it or not."
Ballmer remained silent for a long time. Since Feng Yu said so, based on his understanding of Feng Yu, it might be true. If Feng Yu really did it, Feng Yu is not afraid to admit it.
At the beginning, I just wanted to grab the market in China and Eastern Europe, suppressing Lianxiang Yinshan, but I didn't expect to get rid of it, and the entire office software market fell into it. Fortunately, they can continue to provide update services for the old office software, ensuring that there is no large loss of users.
But even so, they can only hold on. At least the market share continued to increase, and those small office software companies were squeezed out one by one.
In any industry, the market is very important, or the most important link. Even the tycoon of the Wal-Mart family once said that the market is king. If he controls the market, he can formulate his own rules of the game, so that others can only abide by them, so as to ensure his maximum profit!
Why Microsoft was sued for monopoly,
They just want to let their other products occupy the market by virtue of their strength in the operating system. At the beginning, it is free and does not require money, but after the market is controlled, through some value-added services or advertising, etc., you can make a profit.
After Ballmer hung up the phone, he relayed Feng Yu's words to Bill Gates.
Bill Gates was silent for a while, then waved Ballmer out. Regardless of that, for the current plan, he wants to grab the market through Huaxia's political intervention.
...
"Committee Bao, I, Feng Yu, took the liberty to call you, didn't I bother you?"
"Hahaha, of course not, what's the matter with you?" Commissioner Bao asked with a smile.
He thinks that his relationship with Feng Yu is not that close. If it's okay, why would Feng Yu call him.
"I heard that Bill Gates will come over in two days? Who will meet him?"
"Oh, this matter, that's right, it was interviewed by Mr. Wei. Why, do you want to participate? That's right, when top businessmen from abroad come, we in Huaxia should have corresponding people to accompany us."
President Wei? vice ah. Let Ballmer blow it, as if Bill Gates can meet whoever he wants. Besides, go to accompany Bill Gates, but give him face!
"It doesn't matter whether I participate or not. Can you make an appointment with Mr. Wei for me? I want to talk to Mr. Wei about something."
Five minutes later, Commissioner Bao called back in person and informed Feng Yu that Mr. Wei could talk to Feng Yu for about 20 minutes at 6:30 in the evening.
...
"Hi Mr. Wei."
"Mr. Feng, you are also good. This is the first time we have met. I have always wanted to meet you people who have made great contributions to and set an example for the country's economic construction. Today is a good start. You take the initiative to find Me, because of Bill Gates?" President Wei asked with a smile.
Feng Yu was not ambiguous, and said directly: "Bill Gates' Microsoft is competing with our country's Lianxiang Yinshan Software Company. They are now eager to open up the Chinese market and seek higher profits. Our Lianxiang Yinshan software company Shan is a top software development company in China, even in Asia and Eastern Europe, and is confident in competing with Microsoft and winning the battle."
"You mean, Lianxiang Yinshan is better than Microsoft?" Mr. Wei couldn't believe it. Isn't Microsoft number one in the world?
"We each have our own advantages. Lianxiang Yinshan is working on a personal computer operating system, and has already made a breakthrough. We will launch this system by the end of the year at the latest, and we will seize Microsoft's market. Even now, we are in the Smartphone operating systems, office software, etc. are also competing with Microsoft."
"Microsoft will come here this time, there will definitely be some appeals. I ask the country to support our own enterprises. Don't be fooled by the seemingly good conditions offered by Microsoft. They want to seize our market resources. Regardless of his conditions No matter how good it is, it is better than the development of our own enterprise. Moreover, the market value of Yinshan is seriously underestimated, so we must not agree to their request to invest in shares..."
When leaving from Mr. Wei, Feng Yu looked relaxed. Mr. Wei's choice, of course, is to support Lianxiang Yinshan. And I also said that if Microsoft has a commercial appeal, it will definitely not agree immediately. It will hold a meeting and invite Feng Yu to participate, and everyone will discuss it before making a decision.
Bill Gates' plan to travel to China is doomed to fail!
