Chapter 1491: Respect Your Sixth Sense
When it comes to ambition, Microsoft has historically been one of the biggest companies in the industry.
Microsoft, like Tengxun, hopes to be able to fully blossom after the success of its main business, but in terms of the success rate of the number of attempts, Microsoft is much worse than Tengxun.
In so many areas of the Internet industry, Microsoft now values social and life the most, but these are exactly what Makino Technology is best at, and their MSN is also dead, which makes Microsoft's situation even more embarrassing.
Now, Microsoft's market value is more than 100 billion US dollars, and the stock price has been maintained at a level for a long time, and there is no ability to stimulate the stock price in a short period of time, and although Makino Technology is not listed, the valuation has properly exceeded 100 billion.
Because of this, Microsoft has learned from the pain and decided to regain its efforts in the field of social life, so that for Microsoft, no matter what, it can snatch some benefits from the bowl of Makino Technology.
In Microsoft's eyes, after they lost MSN, they entered a state of superiority over Makino Technology, which is like an island country facing a land country without maritime combat capabilities, and the island country can launch all kinds of harassment against the land country, and even large-scale landing operations to capture cities, but the land country has no way to attack the island country because it has no maritime combat capability, except for resisting the attack of the island country.
This is the case with Microsoft and Makino Technology's strategic position towards each other.
Microsoft's core business at this stage is indos and software based on indos, followed by office, which is the overlord-level office software, as for servers and other tool products, all are non-core business, due to Microsoft's core business requirements are extremely high, Makino Technology is now not able to fight against Microsoft in Indos and Office, so for Microsoft, its core business is absolutely safe in front of Makino Technology.
However, the core business of Makino Technology is a complete set of ecosystems based on YY, including portals, games, music, social networking, post bars and blogs, these areas do not have any threshold for Microsoft, and they have enough ability to develop a complete set of products similar to YY, even if these products cannot compete with Makino Technology, but at least they can directly compete with Makino Technology.
Microsoft's recent indos-live software package includes the redesign and development of MSN, as well as a series of ecological products built around MSN, for example, they acquired a local online board game platform in the United States, and are preparing to integrate it into the new version of MSN software, in addition, Microsoft is also preparing to develop an online music audition software, and at the same time launch a MSN-blog that Microsoft is very optimistic about, in order to make the blog bigger and stronger, Microsoft has even developed a supporting editor for the blog。
Li Mu's blog became popular all over the world, making Chen Tong aware of the shortcomings of long-form blogs, only lightweight blogs can meet the needs of social level; but the same thing, in the eyes of Microsoft, it can be seen that the future development space of blogs is huge, Li Mu's blog can become popular all over the world, if the blog is bigger and stronger, it definitely has a high probability of growing into the first media in the online world.
This is the daily life of many Internet companies, the same scene is in front of them, some people have seen the future of the industry years later, others have seen an ethereal mirage, and Microsoft has made many similar mistakes in its history.
msn-blog is basically redeveloped according to the normal blogs on the market, and there are no big highlights, but the blog editor developed by Microsoft itself is a "magic weapon" that Microsoft is very optimistic about.
The editor will be built into MSN, and users only need to click on the MSN quick launch bar to immediately pop up the editor interface, and since it is embedded in MSN, users will not need to log in at all.
After clicking to call up the editor interface, users can directly enter the title on the editor, edit the content, and also directly insert local pictures, at the same time, this editor also comes with an auto-save function, help users save drafts anytime and anywhere, and even customize the publication time, in the eyes of Microsoft Teams, this editor will greatly improve the experience and efficiency of users publishing blogs, and it is definitely a powerful production tool in the field of blogs.
Up to now, no company in the world has developed an exclusive editor for blog, Microsoft is the first, which is also Microsoft's own consistent routine, in their opinion, any Internet field needs technology, tooling, but they don't know, Li Mu embarked on another path diametrically opposed to them, they chose technology, tooling, Li Mu chose lightweight and social.
However, Li Mu didn't know that Microsoft was preparing to make a comeback in the social field, but Microsoft's vice president Pete's attention to the titter made Li Mu feel a little dangerous in his heart.
It stands to reason that after Microsoft gave up MSN, there is no need to worry about Makino Technology at all, because MSN used to be the only overlap between the two, after MSN died, now the two companies have completely avoided conflicts in business, and the relationship between the two sides is like a tobacco and alcohol store, and a beauty salon, not to mention that the eight poles can't be beaten, even if they are doing business next to each other, there will be no conflict at all.
Because of this, Li Mu is a little more wary of Pete and Microsoft, for him, Pete is like the deputy manager of a Seattle beauty salon, and suddenly came to Huaxia to care about which brands of cigarettes and alcohol he will sell next, if Pete is not stupid, then there must be some ulterior conspiracy here.
Li Mu's sixth sense is very strong, and he respects his sixth sense.
Some people have a sixth sense, but at the same time they are very self-denying and self-numbing, and sometimes they can realize that something might be wrong, but then they comfort themselves that they are thinking too much, and then they deny the sixth sense and forget about it.
And Li Mu can grow up to this day, in addition to believing in his sixth sense, he will also conduct in-depth verification on the basis of his sixth sense, if something makes him realize that something is wrong, even if he can't say what is wrong, he must find a way to find out.
After exchanging a few words with Pete, Li Mu called Li Ziwei to his side and whispered in her ear: "Contact Mr. Lin and ask her to inquire about the recent developments of Microsoft in the United States, and see if Microsoft has a new business layout that coincides with Muye Technology." ”
"Good. Li Ziwei nodded and said, "It should be morning over there in the United States, so I'll call her now." ”
Li Mu instructed again, "Let her pay attention to Microsoft's recent small and medium-sized capital operation, see if the parent company and the following subsidiaries have acquisitions, if so, let her find a way to investigate the situation of the acquired, and then sort out the information and send it to me." ”
"Understood. ”
After Li Ziwei went out, Spielberg came to Li Mu with three actors, and the four of them held wine glasses together, and Spielberg took the lead in saying: "Mr. Li, congratulations on your next city!"
Leonardo and Tom Hanks also smiled and said, "Mr. Li, congratulations!"
Li Mu nodded to the three of them, and then looked at Anne Hathaway, and found that her expression was extremely shy, and her big eyes stared at Li Mu and she was still a little evasive, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Anne Hathaway dressed exceptionally dignified and ladylike tonight, a black sleeveless dress was simple and atmospheric, with a string of crystal round pearl necklaces on her chest, and the simple black and white combination looked particularly exquisite.
"Hello Mr. Li!" Seeing that the three people around him had greeted Li Mu, although Anne Hathaway hadn't thought of the opening sentence yet, she also realized that it would be more embarrassing to drag on like this, so she hurriedly blurted out hello.
"Meet Anne again. Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "I dressed up very beautifully today." ”
"Really?" Anne Hathaway was slightly flustered under Li Mu's gaze.
Li Mu nodded, and said very naturally: "I like your necklace, it matches your temperament and this skirt very well." ”
Anne Hathaway was overjoyed, her fingers gently twisted the necklace on her chest, and said shyly: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your compliment." ”
Li Mu blinked and asked with a smile, "Everyone, it's hard to shoot in Yun Province, right?"
Leonardo smiled: "I think it's good, the climate in Yungang Province is great, the scenery is also great, I kind of like that place." ”
Tom Hanks said very seriously: "Leo is right, I also like the environment and climate very much, but the only regret is that the local food is a bit spicy. ”
"Tom loves the crossing-the-bridge-rice-noodles there, and he basically comes to a bowl every day, morning, noon and night," Leonardo said. ”
"Crossing-the-bridge-rice-noodles?" Li Mu was stunned and said with a smile: "Are you talking about 'cross-bridge rice noodles' in Chinese?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Leonardo nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It's just cross-bridge rice noodles, and the taste is very good." ”
Tom Hanks said, "My favorite staple food is all kinds of noodles.
Li Mu said with a smile: "I also like to eat bridge rice noodles, there are many different kinds of noodles in China, each place has its own unique local characteristics, different practices, different raw materials, and different ways to eat, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely take you to taste it." ”
After speaking, Li Mu looked at Anne Hathaway and asked, "How does Anne feel in Yun Province?"
"It's good. Anne Hathaway smiled shyly and said: "The environment and scenery are very good, the local cultural characteristics are also very interesting, I like to look up at the sky there, see the blue sky and white clouds during the day, and open the stars and moon at night, because it is the plateau, so whether it is to see the blue sky and white clouds, or the stars and moon, there is a special different experience." ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a girl, she has a natural romantic feeling, I have been to Yun Province a few times, and I have never paid serious attention to the scenery in the sky." ”
Anne Hathaway immediately took out a Sharp flip phone from her palm-sized handbag, opened it, found a photo, and then subconsciously approached Li Mu, handed him the phone, and said with a smile: "Look, this is a photo I took with my phone, does this cloud look like a little dolphin?"
Li Mu fixed his eyes on the small color screen, showing a clear blue sky and snow-white clouds, one of which really looked like a dolphin bowing and jumping.
The pixels of this mobile phone are around one million, which is too far behind the later smartphones, but it is already the top effect of mobile phone photography in this era, so regardless of the time gap, the photo itself is still very clear, and the color is also very positive.
At this time, the two did not notice that they were very close to each other, Anne Hathaway held the mobile phone and tilted her head slightly to the left, Li Mu stood on her left side, in order to see the photos on the mobile phone, she naturally tilted her head to the right, Spielberg on the opposite side looked at the faces of the two almost together, and was surprised in her heart, and suddenly felt that although these two people are one Chinese and one Western, and their styles are very different, but for some reason, they look very compatible...
