Chapter 773: Strategy

Alan was silent, he was thinking seriously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At first, he just thought that the other party wanted to use the relationship between the two parties to obtain authorization from Microsoft to seek illegal profits, but if the other party could really use the entire Chinese market as a means of coercion, then the nature of the matter would change.

No matter how dissatisfied Bill was, it was impossible for Alan to do anything that harmed the public and private interests, so he spoke. "The global launch of Windows 95 has cost Microsoft and its downstream companies nearly $800 million in publicity expenses alone, and such a huge amount of R&D, sales, and promotion expenses need to be recovered through the sales of Windows systems......

"I didn't say I wouldn't pay a penny, I just wanted to get a reasonable and appropriate price!"

Alan hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "I suggest that you form a negotiation team, I can only provide my opinion to the board of directors for reference, and I really can't give you any commitment right now......

Calling Allen, Fu Zhengyi never thought that he would be able to get the genuine authorization of the Windows system without paying a penny, so he smiled when he heard this. "Alan, if you want to get the same treatment as big companies like IBM and HP, what does it cost to know the computer?"

"Even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to tell you!"

"Don't be like that! You and David are both shareholders of Weizhi Technology, and Weizhi Computer is a subsidiary of Weizhi Technology......"

Alan was a little dissatisfied. "These are all trade secrets! These are Microsoft's trade secrets! Don't you ......?"

"OK!OK!So let me put it another way, is an emerging market attractive to Microsoft?"

"Of course, the development of computers is changing with each passing day, and Microsoft's goal is to become the largest developer of operating systems, so that every computer in use can install a genuine Windows system, and use Microsoft's office software, browsers, media playback software, ......"

After listening to Allen's statement, Fu Zhengyi laughed. "Alan, Microsoft is under investigation by the Antitrust Act, bundling so much software into the operating system, Microsoft itself is engaged in industry monopoly, if Microsoft is forcibly spun off, will its R&D capabilities suffer a devastating blow?"

Alan was stunned. "What? How do you know what the DOJ is alleginging?"

"Hah! I guessed that! Alan, although I know that you are only on the board of directors and are no longer involved in the management and operation of Microsoft, as a friend, I would like to be able to get advice from you. Do I want to get the installation authorization of Microsoft's genuine operating system, and only know that the computer can also be bundled by default, or should I completely give up helping Microsoft to explore the mainland market, and let me do my best to help the Linux system gain the right to speak in the new market?"

Eren was silent again.

It's so ruthless!

It's just too ruthless!

If it is true that a large amount of software is still bundled in the operating system after charging a high license fee, then the Department of Justice is obviously willing to take advantage of this situation to increase the process of litigation against Microsoft.

The biggest competitor of Windows is Linux, and if Weizhi Computer reaches a long-term agreement with Linux, then Microsoft's expansion in Greater China will really be a problem.

Moreover, the antitrust bill is not a joke, if the huge empire is really forcibly broken up by the Ministry of Justice, the business empire created by himself and Bill will definitely suffer for a long time, even if it will not collapse.

"Fu, don't try to provoke! Bill is very stubborn, he will never bow to the Ministry of Justice, let alone give up his principles because of the threat issued by a certain company!"

"No!no!no!I'm not blackmailing, I'm just looking for a way to cooperate, a way to cooperate that can be accepted and satisfied by both parties," Fu Zhengyi changed his words when he said this. "There are a lot of pirated software here, and the installation is quite simple, and there is no bundled software, but the computer can completely ignore the buyer's use, sell them a clean console without any pre-installed system, and let them choose the right operating system, do you think this is more appropriate?"

"Fu! This is quite shameless!"

Alan finally couldn't help but get angry.

But Fu Zhengyi has already gotten the bits and pieces of information he wants.

In the spirit of more work, Xi Meijuan of Fu Zhengyi [FL North America Venture Capital Company] went to the phone and asked her to immediately set up a professional negotiation team to negotiate with Microsoft about the licensing of the genuine operating system.

Pulling over a piece of sticky note paper, Xi Meijuan picked up the pen and asked. "Boss, what are the requirements?"

"Weizhi computer can install most of Microsoft's bundled software, the annual installed capacity is not less than 300,000 units this year, not less than 500,000 units next year, and promises to help Microsoft open up the domestic enterprise computer market, but the cost of software installation can not be higher than IBM, HP These large companies, if Microsoft is willing to give authorization with a symbolic amount, Weizhi computer will become an important partner of Microsoft in China, to help Microsoft expand the market ......"

"A symbolic amount? I don't quite understand. ”

"The lower, the better!" I believe that during the period when Microsoft is deeply involved in the antitrust investigation, I believe that the other side will be more willing to use the willingness of overseas markets to accept bundled software as evidence in response to the DOJ investigation......"

"Understood, I will immediately form a negotiation team to go to Redmond and strive to obtain authorization from Microsoft this month!" "Boss, but I don't think this kind of negotiation may completely anger the other party, this can no longer be described as taking advantage of the fire, you are equivalent to using the Ministry of Justice's investigation to set up a trap on Microsoft, if Microsoft charges a high license fee and wants to install the original bundled software, the Ministry of Justice will be willing to use this license agreement to carry out further investigations......"

"It's okay, it's a big deal that the computer doesn't install the operating system, the advantage of time is here, not on Microsoft's side, there are currently seven or eight hundred thousand desktops in China, but very few genuine software are installed, I believe Microsoft will take the initiative to make concessions in this sensitive period!"

After explaining the matter, Fu Zhengyi asked where the lawsuit against MP3 product infringement had arrived?

"The riaa is currently at a disadvantage, and the high-cost lawyer group has won the cognitive victory, but it will take some time to really win......

"Let the lawyer team fight this lawsuit slowly! Maintain close cooperation with the media, and also broadcast the whole process of this lawsuit through our own website system to attract the attention of the public!"

Xi Meijuan was puzzled. "Huh? Why?"

Fu Zhengyi is also a little strange. "Haven't you noticed a huge increase in sales of mp3 players?"

"See, but what does this have to do with the RIA lawsuit?"

"This lawsuit is definitely going to be won. The more exciting the court debate process, the more difficult it will be to promote this product. The European market is relatively conservative, but as long as the lawsuit is won, the European market will also explode soon, and those websites that do piracy sources and engage in resource sharing are free promoters......"

Regarding the global promotion of MP3, it had been formulated as early as when the lawyer's letter from the riaa was received, and Xi Meijuan was told to strengthen the construction of the marketing team, so she hung up the phone.

Tong Tiantian, who was being dragged by the summer and hiding in the kitchen to eavesdrop, saw that Fu Zhengyi, who was sitting in the living room, was finally busy, so he quickly brought out a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup and delivered it to him, so he waited for his evaluation with antiquation.

Playing the role of Bai Xiuzhu made Xia very satisfied, but she just couldn't get used to seeing Tong Tiantian treat this kid as an old lady of the Jin family, and saw that she was pinching the kid's shoulders and relaxing, and pouted as soon as she sat on the sofa. "Zhumen's wine and meat stink!"

Turning his face to look at her, Fu said righteously. "It's almost summer, and there will definitely be no frozen bones on the side of the road......"

"Hmph! Anyway, men will become bad when they have money, and the richer they are, the more so!"

"The psychology of hating the rich is understandable, but the target must be selected correctly, otherwise you may find out that Bai Xiuzhu's role has been topped, and you can only play the little maid, or the old mother......"

Xia turned his back angrily, but Tong Tiantian burst out laughing, and then said angrily with the bowl in Fu Zhengyi's hand. "Don't always make fun of her, Summer is very serious and hardworking, and she can recite some passages......"

Without waiting for Tong Tiantian to finish speaking, Xia turned his face and roared. "Crazy girl!

"Why do I think you're like a different person, you didn't like it very much that night, why now seeing him come is like seeing an enemy, I can't stand it......"

Summer was ashamed and annoyed, stood up and rushed upstairs in a huff.

Watching two girls talk about each other is really a pleasure.

What's more, after the temperature is high, two beauties who also have the talent of long legs are dangling in front of them, which is really very pleasing to the eye.

Tong Tiantian, who sent the empty bowl back to the kitchen, thought of one thing in vain, and hurriedly rushed over, jumped on the sofa, hugged his arms and shook them. "By the way, yesterday Director Li called and asked which of us sang well, do you still want us to sing the theme song together?"

The pair of long legs coiled on the sofa completely attracted his attention, and Fu Zhengyi reacted when Tong Tiantian repeated his words again. "Oh, are you both good at singing?"

"I sing averagely!But I sing very well in the summer, and I definitely have the potential to become a star......

Saying that, seeing that the other party's eyes fell on the neckline of his shirt, Tong Tiantian looked down and found that the neckline was wide open, although he was a little shy in his heart, he didn't pay attention to it.

The trembling white flowers that came into his eyes, Fu Zhengyi couldn't help but think of the word 'there is a ditch and it will be fired'...... (To be continued.) )
