A person's energy is limited, under normal circumstances, the chairman of two listed companies at the same time is already very busy, will lose a lot of personal space, like pig's feet flying around, without delaying things The phenomenon can also appear. Except for when Zhou Shi started his business when he was studying, he basically didn't have time to talk about love. There was no time to rest during the subprime mortgage crisis, and now it is slightly better, but this year is a critical moment for the development of the mobile Internet, and it is a critical moment for time, husk, nuts, Yahoo, friends, and Spreadtrum Communications to lay the foundation for the future. As long as this year can go smoothly, it will basically lay the basic pattern of the future Internet industry.

Apple is besieged by Nutshell, Nuts, and Samsung, and it is almost impossible to achieve the king of the mobile phone industry; Google has been robbed by Zhou Shi several times, and the Android system has no longer had its former glory; Amazon has competed with Google in the field of video because of its acquisition of YouTube. Microsoft is slightly better, but Google, Time, and Yahoo have all launched their own online document assistance processing services, and the role of the operating system in the era of cloud computing has been weakened, and there are concerns about security and privacy, and perhaps the gap between Windows and Linux will be smaller and smaller. It's just that Microsoft's revenue from cloud services is hard to contain, after all, they are one of the strongest scientific research companies in the entire Silicon Valley.

How to fight Microsoft, Zhou Shi has no good way so far. Microsoft's major sources of profit have not changed for more than a decade, and even in the era of cloud computing, it has only changed the previous software copyright sales into the current subscription service. But there is still no product that can really replace them, Windows may be able to survive for a decade or two, there is a future with sufficient funds, and Microsoft's rise in the cloud computing market is unstoppable through long-term accumulation. It is only on Nokia that Microsoft can be pitted more to delay his development, or let Microsoft achieve a certain degree of success and slow down his development in cloud computing. Or ask Nadella not to take over as CEO of Microsoft and replace someone, like Stephen Elop who went undercover for Nokia.

"How to get Microsoft to acquire Nokia?" In Zhou Shi's courtyard, Analysys International's think tank, that is, a member of Zhou Shi's think tank, was very embarrassed by his proposition. Zhou Shi's unreliability is vividly manifested from various places.

Several of the world's most promising Internet giants have been pitted by Zhou Shi, so how can Microsoft be left alone? Besides, do you think that he met with the bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Council only for the sake of preferential policies, and not a place to use them.

Having Microsoft acquire Nokia, especially the high-cost acquisition of Nokia, will play a big role in Microsoft's development direction. In his previous life, Nadella did not hesitate to empty Nokia's assets because of their small cost, only $5 billion, and another $2.2 billion in patent licenses.

The current situation is that I don't know what means Microsoft used to get Stephen Elop to join Nokia as the chief operating officer. He then lobbied Nokia's board of directors for large-scale layoffs, while prompting Nokia to abandon Google's Android and work with Intel to develop a mobile phone operating system. Originally, he still wanted to fully switch to Microsoft, but unfortunately Nokia's current CEO is Rubinstein, and Stephen Elop can't move him. Although Nokia did not change the decline at this time, Rubinstein at least found a breakthrough through his efforts, and Nokia's Android mobile phone sales growth rate was much greater than that of mobile phones with the traditional Symbian system. It stands to reason that he should be in charge of all aspects of Nokia's work, but I didn't expect Microsoft to be so powerful.

Stephen Elop's arrival at Nokia inevitably caused a series of upheavals, and it was rare for a number of obviously problematic operations to be approved for execution.

"Microsoft is playing Nokia's idea, and what we have to do is not so much to let Microsoft acquire Nokia, but to let Microsoft acquire Nokia at a higher price!" Chen Wen

"Why let Microsoft buy Nokia, instead of blocking it?" someone asked

Zhou Shi was worried about his think tank again, how could it be at this level?

"Pull the opponent into the field we are good at, and use our advantages to defeat the opponent!" Chen Wen explained

"Why is Microsoft our adversary? Google should be more threatening!"

"Google's product line has many overlapping times, such as Android operating system, artificial intelligence, maps, browsers, etc., Microsoft's operating system is basically not in direct competition with us, and office software is not our focus. “

"Our biggest rival for cloud computing is Amazon, followed by Salesforce, and then Microsoft ......"

"Our opponent in financial payments is eBay's PayPal......"

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, questioning Zhou Shi's decision. And he couldn't get angry, the think tank was meant to listen to different opinions. If they were all submissive to Zhou Shi, it would have no effect.

"You're not wrong, but forget one thing, Internet companies have no boundaries, and two companies that you think are not related to each other are likely to launch a deadly attack on you when you don't expect it. Huge cash flow coupled with a huge talent pool is our biggest threat. "Zhou Shi

The cross-border stones of Internet companies are commonplace, Amazon acquires supermarkets, Microsoft and Google produce computers and mobile phones, research and development of augmented reality technology, driverless cars...... The core of time is Internet finance, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and big data. In addition to Internet finance, they are all markets that are easy for them to cut people. Zhou Shi's advantage is that the whole industry chain can be fought in clusters, and companies such as Guoke and friends are not the core, and it is acceptable to be implicated and attacked. Moreover, from the perspective of power struggle, appropriate external pressure can prevent the existing management from focusing on power struggle, which is crucial to maintaining Zhou Shi's notice.

"Do you want Guoke to bring up the acquisition of Nokia again?" someone suggested

"This is bound to fail in the acquisition, and it will have an impact on the goodwill of the husk!"

"The price of Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia depends on the value of the Windows Phone system and Nokia phones, and if Microsoft's mobile operating system is not promising, then Nokia is not worth much. "Someone said

"Then we don't want to help Nokia stabilize the market, but also to help Microsoft develop a mobile operating system?

"Helping Microsoft is really helping yourself. A man named Wei He said

"What do you say!" Zhou Shi

"U.S. companies tend to use unconventional methods against their competitors, and time has begun to threaten U.S. companies, so we need to reduce their attention and have a good relationship with a company with a huge influence like Microsoft, which has a lot of benefits for us. "Wei He
