Chapter 1463 Everyone Is Doing Netbooks
Dai Er, Huipu, Asus, Four Star, Acer, Dongzhi, Suni, Songxia, Mingqi, Shenzhou... All major p manufacturers have begun to launch netbooks. This kind of cheap notebook computer seems to be popular all at once. opened. -79 novel network-
The price is between $400 and $500, and the OS is pre-installed.
The vista system can’t be brought along, but the p system can, but it is not rumored that the update service will be stopped, then the p system is pre-installed, who still buys it?
Originally, the security of the p system was poor. If there is no update and maintenance service, the system may collapse at any time. Besides, those new software all support os, but many do not support p.
In less than a month, the global sales of netbooks exceeded 5 million units. Among them, Lianxiang is still the best-selling one, followed by Dai Er, Huipu and Asus, followed by Fang Zheng and Tongfang. Island country brands and South Korean brands are not ranked at all.
At this time, Microsoft discovered that the netbook was actually a 'conspiracy' against them!
In order to provide consumers with a cheap entertainment notebook, there may be reasons for this, but the more reason is to promote the os system.
This month's notebook sales were less than 10 million units, half of which were netbooks, and the other half were pre-installed with os systems. The market share of Yinshan system exceeds that of Microsoft's system!
No wonder Lianxiang Group will launch such a low-priced netbook, and it is said that Lianxiang Group is reducing its own profits, while seizing the market, it also hurts itself.
Lianxiang Group is still the major shareholder of Lianxiang Yinshan, and the profit of Lianxiang Yinshan also represents the profit of Lianxiang Group.
Look at ibm. At first, it focused on hardware, but it lost money. Later, it adjusted its strategy to focus on software development, supplemented by hardware, and profits came up immediately.
Now ibm is the second software company in the world, second only to Microsoft, and it also allows ibm to maintain its leading position in the entire IT industry.
Lianxiang Group, this is to imitate IBM, the main push software, and then supplemented by hardware. In other words, Lianxiang Group combined IBM's strategy with the fruit company's strategy and embarked on a path of their own.
However, Lianxiang Group has the backing of the large market of China and Eastern Europe, which represents nearly one-third of the world's population. Although the economic aspect of consumers in this market is a little worse, the potential is huge.
Then think of Feng Yu's investment in AMD, Eagle Weida, Kingston and other companies, and Lianxiang Group's own production of hard disks, optical drives and U disks, and even the most basic crystalline silicon factory in the industry, the world's largest. In the hands of Taihua Holdings, didn't he say that in a few years, Feng Yu can influence the entire IT industry by himself?
Bill Gates did not expect Feng Yu to be so ambitious. At that time, Kameda Masao became the director of the soft line, was it also Feng Yu's instigation, and intended to swallow the soft line?
Fortunately, it failed, and Kameda Masao also resigned. Otherwise, Feng Yu might have surpassed their Microsoft in terms of software strength alone.
Bill Gates doesn't know yet that Feng Yu has no plans to annex SoftBank. Soft trade is good, but the business philosophy of soft trade, Feng Yu doesn't like very much, it is purely speculative businessman's practice.
Invest in companies with a little potential, and then operate their listings, raise the stock price, and sell to make money. As for the company's life and death in the future, they simply ignored it.
This way of business, Feng Yu is very despised. This is equivalent to taking the money of those investors, and the Internet bubble was also fired by such people.
Of course, Feng Yu wouldn't mind if he could use this method to make money in an island country. But SoftBank wants to control Huaxia's companies and list them in Huaxia, and it is Huaxia's investors who are pitted.
How could Feng Yu let the soft act succeed? Even if the soft line does not intend to profit from such methods,
For companies that are really optimistic, Feng Yu also ordered people to rush to invest first, give better conditions, or pull in investment from the country, and he can't let the soft line take this cheap!
Bill Gates still doesn't know Feng Yu well enough, so he made a wrong judgment on this matter. Feng Yu asked Kameda Masao to go on a soft trip. One was to do some joint work for os, and the other was to let Kameda Masao improve their family's status in the island country.
Now it seems that both are very successful, especially in the promotion of os, which satisfies Feng Yu the most.
...
"Bill, we have to fight back. Let the situation go on like this, os will really succeed. It will surpass the fruit company and pose a greater threat to us!" Paul Allen said anxiously.
The fruit company was able to rise, in fact, it was Microsoft's intention. When the fruit company was about to go bankrupt, it was Bill Gates who invested $100 million to support the fruit company to start anew.
Because they need such a company that does the p system, lest they form an absolute monopoly on Microsoft, which will be forced to split, or forced to reduce the price of their Microsoft system.
Otherwise, Microsoft's best choice at the time was to swallow the fruit company, how could it support their development?
The fruit company has always been under the control of Microsoft. Although there are occasional outstanding performances that make Microsoft a little embarrassed, it cannot form a de facto threat to Microsoft in the end.
Just like the previous Chaowei and Intel, Intel has countless opportunities to completely trample Chaowei to death, but they don't have that choice, and they can't choose that.
Fruit company Microsoft can live with it, and needs to live with it. But this Lianxiang Group, especially Lianxiang Yinshan Company, is absolutely unbearable for Microsoft, which is beyond the maximum range they can bear.
But how to fight back is the biggest problem at the moment.
Originally, he thought that with the launch of the Vista system, it would take half a year to a year to knock down the OS, so that the OS would be like the fruit company's system, and its market share would be less than a fraction of theirs.
But now it looks like it can't be held back.
Their vista system did not sell as well as they thought, and even those p manufacturers said that the sales of p equipped with vista system were not particularly good, and the market response was not good.
One is that users are not used to it. On the day of the conference, the questions raised by some people seemed to be fulfilled, making users feel that Vista can only serve computers with super high performance.
The other is the issue of product compatibility, especially compatibility with other software. This makes many business office and some professional software unusable. And those who play games, many games do not support Vista at all.
So at this time, the sales of Vista were far worse than they expected.
Bill Gates thought for a while: "It seems that we only have the bottom of the 'draw' salary!"
