Heading into August, Microsoft's current CEO Ballmer finally announced his retirement plans, which he will retire in the next 12 months. Correspondingly, Microsoft's stock price rose by 8 percent, which is undoubtedly a small irony.

Zhou Shi also has an idea about whether Chen Shouzong can become the CEO of Microsoft, at least Bill Gaizi and Ballmer will not find a person who denies themselves, in fact, the best candidate is promoted from within Microsoft, not from the outside, and it is not easy to find the right person. Well, even if it is chosen internally, it may not be obedient, at least Satya Nadella shut down the Nokia that Ballmer bought before leaving.

Besides, what is the CEO of Yahoo leaving to become the CEO of Microsoft? Is he not optimistic about Yahoo's development, or is there a problem with his character? Another person may not consider it at all, and Chen Shouzong's idea itself is problematic. He doesn't have the self-confidence to change the world, and anyone who has this idea will not think that other people's companies are better than the ones he leads. Of course, Chen Shouzong is just a professional manager, and it is really inappropriate to ask too much.

Baller announced his retirement, and correspondingly accelerated his last operation before retirement. Nokia CEO Rubinstein, who opposed Microsoft's acquisition, announced his departure, and Trojan Stephen Elop took over as CEO of Nokia, and Microsoft began acquisition negotiations. At this time, apart from Microsoft, there is no second competitor. Nuts actually made an offer, but it was undoubtedly thrown into the waste cartons.

"So, Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia has become a foregone conclusion?" Zhou Shi asked Huang Huainan, for this big event, Huang Huainan came to Silicon Valley.

"I asked Rubinstein, and indeed only Microsoft made an offer!" Huang Huainan

"How much is a Nokia phone worth?"

"It should not be less than 10 billion US dollars, although Nokia has been seriously infighting in the past two years, but the sales of Nokia mobile phones of Time Android are very good, and there are many improvements to the Windows Phone system, and the prospects are considerable......" Huang Huainan

"What a fart!" Zhou Shi thought to himself, Microsoft's mobile operating system is a pit, although I don't know why, it is obviously excellent in performance, but no one uses it.

"It's a pity that the Windows Phone system is a pity, if time has such a design ability, the nut phone can throw off the Samsung mobile phone a big cut, and now it ......" Huang Huainan

"Do you regret that you didn't use Windows Phone?"

"That's not it, Windows Phone system update and maintenance is too slow, and mobile phone manufacturers don't have the right to modify, it's not in our interests! And who knows if they will be brain-dead, the next version of the mobile phone system is not compatible with the previous version, that won't play us to death! This kind of thing that completely puts others in control of their own fate, no one will do. "Huang Huainan

Windows Phone 7.5 system and Windows Phone 8 system are not compatible, it is really 100,000 MMP. Even if Zhou Shi asked for Microsoft's Windows Phone system, not many people were willing to put in the effort to do this thankless task. This is evidenced by the fact that the market share of Windows Phone phones is less than 3 percent.

"The purchase of patented technology is quite smooth, right?" Zhou Shi, knowing that he has no hope, of course Rubinstein has to think about himself, Stephen Elop's success is in sight, and he doesn't dare to force too much, so you know, there is a lot less trouble on the road to buying Nokia patents. It's a pity that the national strength is not strong, and it does not have the strength to turn against the US imperialists. Otherwise, the patents of Spreadtrum, Guohu, Nuts, and Huawei can be added up without paying "Qualcomm tax".

But just because you can do it doesn't mean you won't do it. At most, it threatens Qualcomm to pay a little less patent fees through patent licensing. In the 5G era of the previous life, Qualcomm had very few patents, but it was still able to collect a lot of patent fees, which was not just a technical problem. Just like Huawei's security issues, US imperialism can do anything shameless in order to protect its own companies.

"It went well, Rubinstein helped us a lot. "Huang Huainan

"How about our smart TV and TV box shipments?" Zhou Shi

"There are a lot more smart TV players in China,LETV,Lei Jun's investment in Meizu has given us a lot of impact,Coupled with the addition of traditional TV manufacturers,Smart TV has become the mainstream of domestic online TV market sales......"Huang Huainan

Without Xiaomi, Meizu, invested by Lei Jun, embarked on the road of Xiaomi in his previous life.

"What about Chromebooks, is it a success?" Zhou Shi

"More and more educational institutions, companies, organizations and individuals accept our computers, and with the cooperation of traditional manufacturers, as of the end of June this year, global sales exceeded 1 million units (historically, 2.1 million units were sold in 2013)!" Huang Huainan

"Our company or all companies?" Zhou Shi

"All the company's Chromebook products. "Huang Huainan

"Less than the sales of nut tablets in the same period?" Zhou Shi

"Well, the Chromebook market is still developing......," Huang Huainan said with some embarrassment.

"Forget it, I firmly believe that this matter is right, we don't need to be pessimistic about short-term strength, when will Time Android be compatible with Chromebooks?"

"It is difficult to achieve in the short term" Huang Huainan

In the previous life, the sales of Chromebooks exceeded Apple's Mac computers, and the sales volume exceeded 2 million units in a single quarter, and there is still potential.

"So what's going on with Loongson, and how long will it take for a product that adapts to Loongson to appear?"

"I don't know about this, I don't know about the development of Loongson, but there have been several well-known venture capitalists at home and abroad who have contacted Loongson, and their team has more than 1,000 people, and there should be products before the end of this year!" Huang Huainan

"Put a little pressure on them, we don't have to choose him. "Zhou Shi

The Snowden incident detonated during the two sessions, which attracted great attention in China, and the issue of information security was once again widely discussed, but the difference is that at this time we have a choice, even if there is no Windows, we still have a chance to succeed. However, Chromebooks are not purchased by government departments, and there are some units that purchase computers in the deep system, but it is of little significance, and these departments may retreat when they encounter a little difficulty. However, Time and his friends are planning to gradually use the computers with pre-installed deep systems throughout the company, which can not only reduce costs, but also help catch insects and propose improvements.

"Well, of course, a number of MIPS chip design companies have been established in China, and we have a lot of choices. "Huang Huainan

The open source of MIPS architecture has given a shot in the arm in the field of domestic chip design, especially the MIPS chip can be combined with the open source deep Linux system, and they don't need to consider the problem of the ecosystem at all, as long as they do a good job of adaptation. If the monopoly of the Winter Alliance can be successfully broken this time, this may be Zhou Shi's greatest contribution to the domestic Internet IT information industry!
