Chapter 993: Take a bite out of Microsoft

As for the rest of the reason, it lies in the volume of the Chinese market as Fang Chen said.

Of course, Bill Gates does not believe what Fang Chen said, and the Chinese market is the world's largest consumer market in the future.

But what can be confirmed is that in the next few years, or even ten years, Huaxia will be the world's fastest-growing consumer market, after all, according to experience, any country just after coming into contact with the market economy, will burst out with unprecedented vitality, as well as explosive economic growth, Huaxia is no exception.

According to his predictions, China's economic aggregate is likely to reach the fourth place in the world in the future, that is, second only to the United States, East Japan and Germany.

Of course, in terms of the affluence of the people, China naturally cannot be compared with the above three countries, but it is okay to reach one-fifteenth or one-tenth, after all, there are many Chinese people.

For such a huge market, to pay a certain price, he feels that it is still reasonable.

Fang Chen suddenly smiled, revealing a victor's smile.

As long as Bill Gates is willing to talk to him, it's easy to say, don't talk about 15%, talk about how much is earned, even if it's 1%.

In the previous life, when WPS made the most money, that is, on the eve of its listing, the annual revenue was more than 1.5 billion points, the net profit was about 300 million, and the unit was still Huaxia currency.

And he didn't say it just now, in his previous life, office software had brought Microsoft 2,000 US dollars, which was nearly 1.4 trillion yuan of net profits.

And 1% of 1.4 trillion is 14 billion.

Such a huge figure of 14 billion is the money that WPS has not earned from the day it was born to the day it was listed, not even one-fifth, after all, WPS does not make money most of the time.

So even if Bill Gates gives him 1% of the office software, he earns it.

Besides, is it possible that Bill Gates will only give him 1%?

He's definitely going to take a bite out of Microsoft this time.

However, the most important thing is that Jinshan can't make a WPS second in the future?

Fang Chen smiled at Bill Gates, "Bill, as for the share, you can naturally talk about it, how much are you willing to give?"

Bill Gates hesitated for a moment, then cautiously, not quite sure about a three, "How about 3%." ”

Seeing this, Fang Chen suddenly became happy, and laughter instantly spread throughout the restaurant.

Fang Chen's smile was not tight, Bill Gates, who was laughing, couldn't hold his face a little, and looked at Fang Chen with some anger, although the price of 3% is indeed lower, but the reason of asking for money to pay back on the spot is always right.

If Fang Chen thinks it's high, wouldn't he be able to ask for a price again, as for laughing like this.

Bill Gates didn't know, and Fang Chen smiled that the overall situation had been decided.

As I said earlier, even if Bill Gates gets 1%, he will have to earn, let alone 3%.

He now felt like King Kong was indestructible, fearless and unscrupulous.

“12%!”

I don't know how many minutes I laughed, Fang Chen suddenly stopped laughing, and then stared at Bill Gates, word by word, and said solemnly.

And Bill Gates was also relieved at this time.

Although a round of prices has been called, it is still a seemingly heavenly gap between 3% and 12%, but this is a very positive signal.

It means that both sides are willing to back down, and the bottom line of this concession is relatively large.

In other words, it is quite possible that the two sides will reach a mutually satisfactory condition.

To be honest, he really didn't want to continue to negotiate on the WPS matter, and he felt that he would have to talk crazy with Fang Chen again.

He finally understands why in epics and fairy tales, there are often plots where an ordinary person becomes a madman after communicating with a demon.

Negotiating with a demon like Fang Chen in human skin, he felt like he was going crazy, let alone those mortals who had really communicated with demons.

Bids on both sides quickly reached 5% and 10%.

But then it fell into a state of stalemate, and almost every time the price was negotiated by 0.1% of the price, it was full of various language skills.

Although Fang Chen thinks that as long as it exceeds 1%, then he will make money, but no one thinks that money is burning, and he will win 1% more for the income of this office software, which is tens of billions of Chinese coins.

He must fight for as much as he can!

Otherwise, it would have been a real pass through this village, and there would be no such shop.

In the end, the two sides closed the deal at a price of 8%, and Fang Chen was responsible for handing over all the ownership of WPS to Microsoft, and Microsoft would distribute 8% of all net income obtained from office software to Fang Chen.

Ben came to the last moment, Fang Chen asked 8%, Bill Gates asked 7%, and both of them knew that no matter who breathed a sigh of relief, they would be able to make a deal, so they kept stubborn and refused to give in.

Or at the last moment, Fang Chen said that if Huaxia can't become Microsoft's largest source of users after fifteen years, then it will be implemented according to 7%, Bill Gates is completely relieved this time, agreeing to Fang Chen's 8% price, otherwise the two may have to fight for this 1% until dawn.

This is also a VAM agreement.

And if you set up such a VAM agreement, there is another advantage.

That is, in order to win the agreement, Fang Chen will definitely do his best to help Microsoft develop the market in China, and since then, Fang Chen, an existence with a decisive influence in China, has been completely tied to Microsoft's chariot.

No matter how you calculate it, this is a sure deal.

Raising his wine glass, Bilgay touched it with Fang Chen and drank it all.

Really, he was tired to death, and he felt more tired than running a marathon this night.

As soon as the thought moved, Bill Gates couldn't help but ask: "Fang, do you really think Huaxia can become Microsoft's largest source of users in such a short time?"

Seriously, he wasn't convinced.

According to last year's data, Huaxia uses the Microsoft operating system, and even the users of the MS-DOS system produced by Microsoft, accounting for less than one percent of the number of users using the Microsoft operating system in the world.

As for the specific amount, he didn't look at it, anyway, it was a little little, but the only thing to be happy about was that the growth rate was not bad, ranking first among all countries.

But to be honest, he didn't think what Fang Chen said was really that unreliable, he felt that it was still possible for Huaxia to surpass the United States and become the largest single country in Microsoft's operating system.

After all, there are more people in China, more than six times the population of the United States, and with the progress of science and technology, more and more people cannot do without computers, so the number of Microsoft users in China is indeed likely to exceed that of the United States.

But it's not fifteen years so fast.

Looking at Bill Gates' serious face, Fang Chen's expression suddenly became a little weird, but it quickly flashed.

Fang Chen's face was solemn, and he said seriously: "This is a sure thing, it will only be in advance, not too late." ”

"After all, pirated users are also users, and they use your Microsoft operating system. Fang Chen added in his heart.

In the previous life, Huaxia was definitely the country with the most users of Microsoft's operating system, and it can even be said that after computers began to become truly popular around 2007, Huaxia's computer users surpassed the United States.

But as we all know, Huaxia uses "tomato garden", "deep system", "rainforest wind wood" and the like, and the real money to Microsoft, except for some enterprises, and notebook users have no way to pay, must pay, individual users are willing to pay for Microsoft, almost few, more difficult than finding a drop of water from the desert.

And it is worth mentioning that the so-called genuine system activation code, serial number, and secret key on ten yuan and five yuan are not genuine.

As a result, Huaxia's contribution to Microsoft's revenue is extremely low, and the low is outrageous.

The Huaxia market occupies a share of Microsoft's total revenue, hovering around 1% all year round, with a maximum of no more than 2%, and a minimum of only 0.78%, which is worse than India, the worst of the big countries, and can be compared with some small countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America with a population of less than 10 million.

According to the annual report data disclosed by Microsoft, only six Chinese users can be worth the revenue that one Indian user can bring to Microsoft.

Although Bill Gates didn't believe what Fang Chen said, after listening to it, he still got some soul comfort.

After eating, drinking, and talking, and taking advantage of the cheapness, Fang Chen said goodbye and went back to the hotel.

Originally, Bill Gates wanted Fang Chen to live directly in his house, but after tonight's episode, he felt that it was better to forget it, with Fang Chen sleeping in his own home, then he really couldn't sleep well, and he needed to keep one eye open.

Fang Chen was afraid that the wall would have ears.

Bill Gates is a well-known technology controller, in the world when the smart home has not yet appeared, he spent a lot of money to transform his home into a computer can control the indoor temperature, humidity, atmosphere, lighting of the smart mansion.

To do this, there is no doubt that a large number of sensors are needed, so it makes sense to install some cameras.

And most importantly, for this mansion, Bill Gates spent seven years and more than sixty million dollars.

Since he can make such a big effort, it means that Bill Gates may have an idea early on, and even started the initial implementation.

He doesn't want to be under Bill Gates' surveillance all the time.

Thinking that himself, sleeping, going to the toilet, will fall into Bill Gates's eyes, Fang Chen has a chilling feeling.

When he arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Seattle, let Han Guang, the KGB-born bodyguard, check the situation in the room to ensure that it was safe, Wu Maocai finally couldn't hold it back, and asked: "Ninth Master, you really sold this WPS to Bill Gates, a gringo, can't you sell it?"

After saying this, Wu Maocai looked at Fang Chen with puzzlement, while Huiming and the others also pricked up their ears with a look of curiosity.

It looks like a melon-eating crowd.
