Chapter 3102 Microsoft's Hands-on(1/2)
Jobs had an instinctive feeling that something was wrong.
One sentence? What should Lin Feng want him to say? In this world, one sentence can make things happen, and one word can also cause bad things. One sentence can change a person's life destiny, or even change the destiny of all mankind. Therefore, things can be messed up
Eat and don't talk nonsense.
"What do you want to do?" Jobs asked Lin Feng intently.
Lin Feng smiled. But in Jobs' eyes, this smile was so evil.
"Actually, my request is really simple. It's just a matter of one sentence, admitting that my 'Pangu System' is good!" Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Jobs immediately took a breath. This sentence is really not simple. It is just one sentence, but it is enough to change the current situation of 'Pangu System'. Although 'Pangu System' currently occupies a large market share, But it is completely a game entertainment system. Although it has very good performance in game entertainment, the industry unanimously believes that it is not as good as 'Microsoft' in a comprehensive comparison with the 'Microsoft' system. It is just that the 'Pangu System' is opportunistic. Focusing on gaming and entertainment, and some reasons, Pangu System is worse than Microsoft in gaming and entertainment.
In this case, if 'Apple' admits that 'Pangu System' is good, it will be enough to shatter these rumors. You know, there are two giants in the operating system market, one is 'Microsoft' and the other is 'Apple'. Although 'Apple'
'The operating system market share is very low, but that's because 'Apple''s system is a closed system, and 'Microsoft' is a semi-open system, so 'Apple''s operating system market share is low. But.'Apple's'
The user satisfaction of the operating system is higher than that of Microsoft.
If 'Pangu System' can be praised by 'Apple', it will be extraordinary. This is equivalent to letting 'Apple' verify the true identity of 'Pangu System'. This will be beneficial to the competition between 'Pangu System' and 'Microsoft'. Of course,
If it was just to cause trouble for Microsoft, Jobs would still be happy. But he and Lin Feng also had a direct competitive relationship before. If he strongly supports the Pangu System, then in the future, Lin Feng will launch various electronic products.
Products, such as mobile phones, notebooks, etc. equipped with the "Pangu system", then Apple is not shooting itself in the foot.
Jobs shook his head repeatedly. He couldn't do such a stupid thing. He could see far ahead. Under the leadership of Lin Feng, the 'Pangu System', although still a little immature at present, would definitely become popular in the future. Faced with this potential
Steve Jobs must be careful about his future strong rivals. He must not act recklessly, causing one step to be wrong and every step to be wrong.
"Steve, if you don't agree to this, then I can't fight Microsoft in the front, and you can take advantage of it in the back! That would be unreasonable." Lin Feng groaned.
"Lin, defeat 'Microsoft'. The one who gains the most is not our 'Apple'. As far as the current situation of our 'Apple' is concerned, we just need to be ourselves, and that's enough. And you, don't defeat 'Microsoft'. You don't even think about it."
This market is established!" Jobs said calmly.
From the beginning of its business, Apple has been based on being good at itself and not caring about the rest. Because Apple is a completely closed system and does not communicate with the outside world at all, so whether Microsoft is strong or not, Jobs has no regard for it.
There is no need to care. He only needs to care about whether Apple's products are creative enough and excellent enough.
"Yes, I am the one who benefits the most from defeating Microsoft, but don't forget that this time our battlefield is the mobile phone battlefield. Hey, the mobile phone market, Steve Jobs, I believe you should have done research on this market and should know this.
How big is the potential of the market, and how high are the profits in the future! In this increasingly developed communications world, people don’t need computers, watch movies, go to concerts, or even eat KFC or drink Starbucks.
Coffee, but no one can say that he does not use a mobile phone. Landline phones can no longer meet the needs of today's human beings. Mobile phones are the most indispensable tool for human beings." Lin Feng said loudly.
Jobs deeply agrees with this. Over the years, since he returned to Apple, he has been thinking about how to make Apple the world's top high-tech company and how to use Apple's technology to create innovations for Apple.
Greater profits. Steve Jobs has already launched Apple notebooks and music players. What is the next profit growth point?
Steve Jobs’ point of view is mobile phones. Of course, after mobile phones, Jobs still has many ideas, but these are things for the future. What he has to do now is to maximize the profits of the ‘iphone’.
"Look, you agree with me. If we want to dominate the mobile phone market and maximize the profits of mobile phones, we must face opponents like Samsung and Microsoft. Samsung, let's deal with it together, then Microsoft
"But I have to deal with it myself, Steve, do you think this is fair?" Lin Feng asked Qu.
Jobs frowned. It seemed that Lin Feng had not achieved his goal and would not give up. After thinking about it, Jobs reluctantly made a decision.
"The most I can promise is to admit in private that the 'Pangu System' is good. If it goes beyond that, I won't do it. At worst, we will each do our own thing, and this alliance agreement will be abolished!" Jobs made a difficult decision.
When Lin Feng heard this, he immediately smiled lightly.
"Okay, it's up to you. Then I wish us a happy cooperation and dominate the mobile phone market in the future!" Lin Feng stretched out his right hand.
"Dominate the world!" Jobs wanted to hold Lin Feng's hand, but he remembered that he had been cheated by Lin Feng when he and Lin Feng were competing for the 'music player' (mp3) market. At that time, he vowed to never cooperate with Lin Feng again.
shake hands.
With a "pop!", Jobs and Lin Feng high-fived each other without shaking hands.
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized. This Jobs was really stingy. It was an old rotten sesame thing a few years ago, but he still remembered it. It was a bit stingy.
Old rotten sesame seeds? The veins on Steve Jobs' forehead were about to burst. At that time, Lin Feng used Beckham to play the "Infernal Affairs" trick, which deceived Jobs and almost made him unable to work at Apple. This is still called
Old and rotten sesame? If not for the fact that in the end, he relied on music copyright to save the situation, I am afraid that Jobs would have been in Hollywood now and continue to tinker with his 'Pixar'.
"Okay, Larry, I'm leaving now. If you need anything, call me! By the way, my Pixar has launched a few more animations, which will be exclusively screened in your theaters." Jobs said hello to Ellison.
Finally, without even looking at Lin Feng, he turned around and walked away.
Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. He was so maverick and so clear-cut in his grievances. This was Steve Jobs.
"Okay, Larry, thank you for today. Steve is gone, what should we eat?" Lin Feng turned to look at Ellison.
"Well, I think we can celebrate today. This time 'Microsoft' has a headache." Ellison laughed, "I heard that there is a Chinese restaurant that tastes very authentic. It's Sichuan food. I've been a little addicted to Sichuan food recently.
, that spicy taste is really refreshing. Let’s go eat Sichuan food!”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to like Sichuan food. I thought you always liked sushi and sashimi!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Ellison had been exposed to Japanese culture before, and he particularly admired the Japanese Bushido spirit and Japanese culture. Although he and Lin Feng are good friends, he has never concealed his friendship with Japan. Of course, in recent years, Ellison has subtly expressed his love for Japan.
Japan is not that popular. I started to be interested in Chinese culture. But in terms of food, Ellison always eats a Japanese meal every week.
"Haha, I recently watched an episode of "A Bite of China" and was attracted by the Chinese food culture in it. Lin, this program is really good! I think it can be introduced to the United States. Don't you have a TV station? It's absolutely possible.
Play it on your TV station! I believe many Americans will be interested," Ellison said.
Lin Feng laughed in his heart when he heard this. This "A Bite of China" was filmed with his own funds, just to promote Chinese food culture, and of course to make money. But he won't tell Ellison yet, and he will wait until the first one opens in the United States.
After visiting a high-end Chinese restaurant, tell Ellison and give him a surprise.
Lin Feng's goal is to truly bring Chinese culture to the world. Now, it's just getting started.
When Lin Feng and Ellison went to eat Sichuan food, the Microsoft headquarters was caught in a dispute.
"Ballmer, as the president of Microsoft, you agreed to such outrageous conditions. Don't you think you are unworthy of this position?" Several shareholders angrily criticized Ballmer's decision to recognize the status of Pangu System.
In their view, this is tantamount to letting Microsoft hand over the operating system market to Lin Feng. This is something they cannot accept.
"Everyone, please don't be angry. I believe everyone should know the ins and outs of this matter. Now we are not paying attention, and Lin Feng took advantage of us and spent 1.05 billion US dollars to buy an empty shell of 'nvidia'. If this news once
If it is announced, the stock price will definitely plummet, and the final outcome will be almost the same as admitting that Pangu System is an excellent operating system." Ballmer was a little dejected. After Lin Feng put it aside, for Ballmer,
It is a great shame and humiliation in life. This is something he cannot accept.
"But even so, we can never admit that the 'Pangu System' is a good system." - The chief operating officer of Microsoft said loudly.
"Yes, that's it!" Many executives shouted. They could not accept this. It is absolutely unacceptable for "Microsoft" to admit that Lin Feng's "Pangu System" is good. Never!
"But, if this happens, our company will definitely suffer a heavy setback!" Ballmer also knew that he could not accept Lin Feng's outrageous conditions, but the price of not accepting was too high. On his way back from Ellison's company, he
He has been weighing and comparing. He found that admitting that 'Pangu System' is good is a more rational behavior. Although 'Microsoft' admitted that giving 'Pangu System' is equivalent to having a 'legal identity', but even so,'
Without the support of a large number of third-party software, Pangu System was unable to compete with Microsoft. On the contrary, the news that Microsoft bought an empty shell of 'nvidia' was suppressed. In the end, Lin Fengna
Bian will also get into a lot of trouble because of this.
After all, the core business of "nvidia" is graphics cards. If this graphics card cannot be exposed, it will be extremely difficult to sell in its market. And this market is ever-changing, and "Microsoft" can fully rely on this opportunity to cooperate with "Intel".
Work together to develop new graphics cards and launch them into the market, breaking the previous situation where 'ati' and 'nvidia' jointly dominated the graphics card market.
Ballmer's consideration is long-term. Compromise first, then hold back and exert force. However, these shareholders are unwilling to lower their proud heads, which makes Ballmer a little difficult to make a choice.
"Everyone, I know what you are thinking, and to be honest, I don't want Lin Feng to accept his unreasonable conditions while others are in danger. But everything has two sides. If he hides the core business of 'nvidia', he is still in Egypt.
As a bargaining chip, Leeson asked us to recognize the status of 'Pangu System'. This will only bring him trouble in the future and make 'nvidia' lose its market value. But we can completely launch genuine 'nvidia' graphics cards.
We know that the 'nvidia' brand can be in our hands. At that time, Lin Feng will be in trouble, not us! So, we only need to tolerate it for a while, and then we can give Lin Feng a fatal blow. But if we don't tolerate it, the company
You will suffer heavy losses. A conservative estimate is that the stock price will drop by at least 13%, and there will be a series of subsequent impacts." Ballmer advised shareholders.
"No, we will never agree! We will never agree to this kind of thing! Our operating system is the best operating system in the world. Let us admit that Lin Feng's sensationalism and flashiness have no use except to look good, and there is no
Any software operating system might as well kill us!" Many shareholders shouted loudly.
Ballmer was helpless. Although he was the president of Microsoft, such a major matter must be recognized by these shareholders, otherwise he would not be able to implement it.
Helpless, he could only look at Bill Gates.
"Bill, what do you think?" Ballmer asked.
Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft, and his words are of decisive significance. As long as Bill Gates agrees, these people will compromise even if they object. This is the status of a company founder. Of course, Apple
Driving away founders is a low-probability event. In Silicon Valley, many companies have gone bankrupt over the years, but as the company grows, founders are driven away, as happened with Steve Jobs.
Bill Gates stood up and looked around.
"Everyone, our 'Microsoft' has always been the best company in the industry, and we have always been the world's number one software company. Therefore, we have our pride and our dignity. Lin Feng, a half-way monk, will definitely
If you cannot get our recognition, we must not bow to Lin Feng!" Bill Gates said loudly.
"Yes, we must not bow to Lin Feng!" Many shareholders and executives immediately shouted angrily.
"Bill!" Ballmer was surprised. He didn't expect Bill Gates to think so.
"Steve, don't get excited, just listen to me!" Bill Gates walked up to Ballmer.
"I admit that your plan is very practical, and it is also the most sensible plan. It can reduce the losses of Microsoft to the greatest extent. I also believe that if we follow your plan, we will be able to defeat Lin Feng in the future. However, Bao
Ermo, we are the number one software company in the industry, we are number one in the world! Since we are number one in the world, we must have the momentum of being number one in the world. We must not compromise! Never compromise! Never!" Bill Gay
Ci loudly said, "Once we compromise, we will lose the pride we have and our dignity. So in the future, when other companies or the second Lin Feng challenges us, will we also choose to avoid it?
?So, to hell with Lin Feng’s threat!”
