Chapter 757: Steve's Doubts
The meeting of the board of directors is very short, because these directors also have other positions in Microsoft, and the monthly board meeting, in fact, rarely has too many things.
Feng Yu became a director of Microsoft, so he naturally had an office. Like these directors, the office area was only a few tens of square meters on the top floor of a building.
To Feng Yu's surprise, the president in charge of the entire Asia-Pacific region is Ballmer. Now Feng Yu has a better chance to get in touch with Steve Ballmer alone.
"Steve, please sit down, Ralph, go prepare two cups of coffee." Ralph is Feng Yu's secretary at Microsoft, Feng Yu recruited himself, he will not use someone arranged by Microsoft. Of course, the secretary's salary is also paid by Feng Yu.
Steve Ballmer sat on the sofa and looked at Feng Yu with interest: "Feng, are you from Huaxia?"
"That's right. Why, Steve seems to look down on Chinese people?" Feng Yu deliberately put on a displeased look.
Steve laughed: "Feng, do you think that I will look down on people who are richer than me? With all due respect, I am just curious. It seems that China's economic development is still in its infancy. How could there be such a big crocodile like you?" Appear? Behind you, there is an ancient big family?"
family? In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, if a young man can still have such a fortune, it must be supported by a big family behind him. This was true before. In the previous life, a young man named Zuckerberg came out. A slap in the face for anyone with such thoughts.
No background, only ideas and hard work. You can also become the world's top rich man, and the money you earn will never be spent in your lifetime.
"Well, my father and my brother-in-law are considered rich in our country. But I think that the net worth I have today is the result of my own hard work." Feng Yu said intentionally.
Steve raised his eyebrows, the result of his hard work? Young people are a little arrogant. But his family rest assured to hand over the assets to him, maybe he really has some skills. But it is more likely that his family has only one heir.
Just now Feng Yu said that his father and brother-in-law are rich.
I heard that Dongfang, especially Huaxia, has a very serious patriarchal thought, thinking that daughters are outsiders, so this asset will be given to Feng Yu in the future. Is his family sending Feng Yu to exercise?
Thinking of this, Steve smiled and complimented: "Yes, this must be inseparable from your hard work."
He also has a subtext in his heart: but more important is your family. If Bill Gates and Buffett didn't have the help from their families, they wouldn't be where they are today! I was the one who really worked hard on my own. I didn't invest a penny and became a shareholder of Microsoft. Became a multi-billion dollar tycoon!
Of course, he would never say that.
"Steve, you are in charge of the Asia-Pacific region. You heard the board of directors just now. The chairman said that I have the final say on everything in the Huaxia region. You won't be unhappy about this, right?"
Steve thought. Can you be happy instead? The focus of my next work is to enter the Huaxia market. Now you have taken away the most important part of the market. The rest of the market is not as big as the Huaxia market. You have directly taken away half of my power. Now Also TM asked me if I was happy?
"You are from Huaxia, and you are more familiar with Huaxia. It is only natural for you to give that piece to you, so that I can relax a bit. Besides, don't everyone contribute to the development of Microsoft? The better Microsoft develops , the more we earn, don’t we?”
Feng Yu looked at Steve with a smile, do you really think so? Why do you remember that the media in your previous life said that Steve Ballmer was a very power-hungry person?
"Steve, if it were you, how would you develop the Chinese market?" Feng Yu asked back.
Steve was a little curious, didn't Feng Yu have any plans before? If there is no plan, then why would Bill agree to hand over the Huaxia market to Feng Yu?
Or is this Feng Yu considering me?
Madness!
There are not many people who can admire Steve, and definitely not including this young man in front of him!
"If it were me, let Microsoft's system advertise in China, especially cooperate with every computer brand, so that when any consumer buys a computer, the first choice is to install our system, or even choose to install our system. system!"
Feng Yu nodded: "It's a good idea, but what Microsoft can do, other software companies can do too."
"We have OFFICE software, which can only run on our system. You may not know how easy this software is. But now the United States, Europe and many other countries, from governments to enterprises, are using our software. software, then we can only use our system!" Steve said proudly.
"I remember that Office software is not unique to Microsoft. There are at least a dozen similar office software. If it weren't for Microsoft's agreement with hardware manufacturers, then Microsoft's system promotion would not be so fast, and software promotion would not be so fast. Okay. Maybe you don't know clearly, Huaxia's preferred way of working at this time is paper and pen."
Why? The operation of the computer system is not too difficult, but it is not too simple. Although WIN95 is very easy to use, it is not as easy as XP in the previous life. The unit is still a company. After buying a computer, the first ones to use it are not those office workers, but the leaders.
Leaders are generally older, and their ability to accept new things is weaker than that of young people. That is to say, things will fall into a strange circle, people who know how to use it don't have a computer, and people who have a computer don't know how to use it!
When a leader buys something, he does not consider whether it is useful or not, but considers what benefits he can get. There were many computer systems in the previous life at this time, and even many systems were not compatible with each other!
Steve frowned and asked back, "Then how do you promote it?"
"The method is actually similar to yours, but there is another important point, that is the price. Our system, office software, etc. are cheaper than others. And I can use the lowest cost to make Microsoft's system more popular Open, and the sales of ordinary system disks will definitely not be the bulk of our profits."
Because you provided the system disk for upgrading, within two days, Zhongguan~Cun will have a cracked version, and then it will be available all over the country, and few people will be willing to buy more expensive ones. They have no concept of copyright at all, they just buy whichever they think is cheap. Why spend hundreds of dollars on something that can be done with dozens of dollars?
Of course, if it is done for a few tens of dollars, you can also issue an invoice for a few hundred dollars.
"Then how do we make money?"
"Wait, we'll make money after they get used to it. In any emerging market, early promotion is very difficult and requires a lot of investment, isn't it? In three years, I guarantee that 90% of the computer users in Huaxia will , will install Microsoft's system!"
Well, I can't guarantee whether it costs money to install it. This can give Lianxiang enough time to accumulate experience in system development, and lay the foundation for Lianxiang to surpass Microsoft in the future... (To be continued.)
