Chapter 591: Reopening of the trial
"What is the important matter for King Lee to come this time?"
Gerstner said with a smile on his face, he has been very happy recently, the virus has caused the world to lose so many computers and servers, IBM has begun to produce hardware in large quantities, and the losses of those large Internet companies are paid by insurance companies, so there are still many beneficiaries in the end.
Li Feiteng didn't say much, he took out two computer design drawings and handed them to Guo Shina.
These two computer design drawings are very beautiful, one is an advanced all-in-one computer, pure white screen, with a beautiful border with curved lines, and the keyboard is also white, which looks very thin and exquisite.
The other is the design of a tablet, which looks like a piece of technology and art.
Gerstner is a computer expert, he saw through the value of these two computer designs at a glance, the expression on his face became particularly excited, and said: "God, King Lee, you are really a genius, this kind of computer, only Apple's designers can think of it." ”
"Oh no, you look closely at the logo on the computer. Li Feiteng shook his head and said.
"This, how is this a Microsoft trademark?"
Gerstner stroked his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, "King Lee, wouldn't you have designed computer drawings for Microsoft?"
However, after saying that, he shook his head and said, "No, Microsoft is a software company, what do they want PC computer design drawings for?"
The most important thing is that IBM, including several large PC manufacturers in the magnesium country, has reached an agreement with Microsoft, the content of which is that PC manufacturers support binding to Microsoft's system, and Microsoft is not allowed to enter the field of PC computer production. The computer drawings that Li Feiteng took out made him wonder. Isn't that right?
Looking at Gerstner's expression. Li Feiteng smiled: "That's right. Mr. Gerstner, this is not my design drawing, but from the Technical Product Research Center of China Microsoft. ”
"What!" Gerstner was taken aback and asked, "Microsoft wants to produce PCs, it's absolutely impossible!"
Li Feiteng spread out the design drawings, took out some more information and said: "According to my investigation, Microsoft has invested a lot of capital and manpower in the secret development of these products, and it is said that it has reached a cooperation with Fujitsu. Now these designs of mine may be produced into products at any time. ”
"No, it can't be!"
Gerstner shook his head and said, "It's impossible for Microsoft to enter the PC space. ”
"Mr. Gerstner, there is nothing impossible in this world, like our Google Group, there are already trends and ideas that want to develop PC computers, I know that Microsoft has signed some agreements with you, but in the face of the huge market profits of PC computers, do you think Microsoft will not be moved? And with the monopoly and expansion of the Microsoft system platform market. Do you think they're going to stop and not combine software and hardware?"
Microsoft operates in the field of operating systems. has been done to the extreme, the developed product, no longer need to do any publicity, everyone is lining up to buy it, even if the recent resistance continues, but a million ordinary PC users, still all over the world, for the Microsoft empire has more than a billion users, just the tip of the iceberg.
Moreover, Microsoft has also made some remedial measures, but all computer systems damaged in the catastrophe will receive the latest version of the 2002 version of the system for free.
Therefore, these million users will actually trust Microsoft more than stay away from Microsoft.
If Microsoft wants to scale, it has to be cross-industry, they don't just want to do the system, they want to do all the software, and even enter the hardware manufacturing industry.
Compared with Bill Gates's ambitions, Li Feiteng's delusions have become very realistic.
Although Li Feiteng had no evidence, after hearing his words, Gerstner said in surprise: "How do you know that there is an agreement between us and Microsoft?"
"Not only do I know that IBM and Microsoft have reached an agreement, almost half of the world's PC manufacturers have agreements with Microsoft, and you help Microsoft achieve a monopoly on the system platform, and at the same time Microsoft promised you not to enter the PC computer manufacturing and production, am I right?"
Guo Sner stared at him, a little hairy in his heart, feeling that any secrets were not secrets to him.
In fact, these are not secrets, in the previous life, because of the sensation of the Microsoft antitrust case, Bill Gates personally appeared in court to express his opinions, and these secrets have become well-known.
"If you don't believe that Microsoft is interested in getting into PCs, then you can ask Fujitsu and talk to you, and I think it won't be too difficult for you to get these drawings. Oh, by the way, I was going to go to Hewlett-Packard and Combo, but now I think it's up to you, Mr. Gerstner, to convey it on your behalf, and I think they also have a lot of interest in Microsoft's entry into the PC. ”
It's no longer a matter of interest, it's anger.
Microsoft really wants to tear up the agreement, which will trigger the beginning of a break between PC manufacturers and Microsoft.
Gerstner has also been skeptical, thinking about whether the cooperation with Microsoft is correct, because if Microsoft really enters the PC field, it will be a great threat to them, which will divide their market profits.
It's just that they've been looking for evidence all along, and Microsoft hasn't made any moves.
It's just that Li Feiteng's arrival made Guo Shi Na can't help but be ready to check it carefully.
With Li Feiteng's words, Gerstner met with the founders of several major manufacturers to check Microsoft together.
It only took three days, several major manufacturers went along the way, found some clues, Microsoft has indeed had close contacts with Fujitsu in the past two years, and even secretly reached some agreements, the content of cooperation, sure enough, computers.
As soon as IBM, HP, Kangbo and other big manufacturers got the news, they were furious.
They wanted to call Bill Gates and question him.
But Li Feiteng's Google Group, together with Netscape, filed a lawsuit against Microsoft's monopoly, and it is just about to go to trial.
They discussed it and changed their minds.
"Mr. King, Mr. Lee, the court will be held tomorrow, and we are willing to testify for you. Dell, the founder of Dell, called Li Feiteng and said.
The next day, the Microsoft antitrust case that shocked the whole United States was grandly heard again.
Before the trial, although the media in the United States paid attention to this matter, they felt that Microsoft might use delaying tactics again, dragging the case off again and again, and then ceding some benefits, and finally it was settled.
But no matter what, Microsoft is a global giant, and Netscape and Google are all new star companies, including Li Feiteng's personal attendance, which makes the media very excited.......
