Chapter 524: "Tang Dynasty Company" is once again suspected of monopoly
Although Microsoft's cào system was already in danger under the threat of the Tang Dynasty's kernel. However, when the global cào system has not yet begun to exert its strength, Microsoft's cào system still continues to monopolize the world. At this time, they can use their own cào system to promote some of their own business.
For example, for this community-based website, "Steve" came up with the idea of using the cào system to promote it.
"You mean, it's tied up in the cào system like IE?"
Microsoft's monopoly on the system has brought him great benefits. Under the influence of the cào system, Microsoft's other businesses have come naturally. For example, msN communication business, player business, and "database software" are office software, which has achieved an important position in the world under the influence of the cào system.
In the past, Microsoft was doing these strong promotions every day.
For example, IE is bundled into cào to cào, which is the most direct example. However, in recent years, with the improvement of computer laws and regulations, more and more countries are staring at Microsoft's every move. Pretty much, if Microsoft had any monopoly measures, they would be the first to jump out and take Microsoft to court. Especially the One European Alliance, when they are fine, they want to trouble Microsoft.
Therefore, in recent years, some of Microsoft's strategies have not been so domineering.
Of course, in recent years, Microsoft's development has been too soft, or it has been softened by bī, and in the meantime, its business expansion has entered the shin of the bottle. Especially under pressure from the core of the Tang Dynasty, many Microsoft technical talents have jumped to other companies. Some countries have also spent a lot of money to attract these oceanic sea turtles.
There are countless reasons why Microsoft's momentum is slowly declining.
If it continues like this, not to mention the pressure from the Tang Dynasty's kernel cào system, even if there is none. Microsoft's development is unlikely to be very effective. In particular, Microsoft, until now, his cào as a system technology, has been developed almost. A more human-like cào has also been developed. Judging from the VIsTa system that has been working hard recently, there are not many sè ...... If it weren't for the fact that everyone is accustomed to Microsoft's cào system, I'm afraid Microsoft itself will be defeated by itself.
In fact, exactly.
In later generations, Microsoft has not developed much of a cào system because of its own technology. This also fell to Microsoft's stock, which can no longer maintain its original peak. Unfortunately, at that time, there was no other real desktop-level CÀO system in the world. As a result, Microsoft continues to play a dominant role in later generations.
"Yes, it's pretty much the same idea as tying up IE."
Like browsers, there are many kinds in the world. In addition to Microsoft's own IE, the world's most famous browsers include Firefox and Netscape browsers...... Even in China, many Internet companies have developed their own browsers. Like the QQ browser of later generations, there is a 360 browser. However, IE is still the most widely used in the world. The reason is not because IE interface is friendly, nor because IE is powerful, but also because IE technology is bullish. In fact, Microsoft's countless leaks are all because of this immature IEnòng. The latest and fastest update of this book comes from du58.
However, Internet Explorer is under the bundle of Microsoft, so that everyone in the world is using it. Moreover, this kind of use, under the click day and night, over time, is to develop the habit of using IE. Even if, IE has a lot of shortcomings, even if, IE still has a lot of omissions. However, people continue to use it likewise.
Habit is a terrible force, and it is by virtue of this habit that Microsoft has been leading the world.
"OK, good."
Hearing "Steve's" suggestion, Bill nodded and agreed.
"Boos, if that's the case, we might get into trouble with the EU again."
Bundling IE and the like is already suspected of monopoly. Not to mention, use Microsoft's cào system to push another social jiāo website. Presumably, Microsoft threw out this strategy, and immediately received a joint public prosecution from the European Union and other countries. Prior to this, the EU had been in trouble with Microsoft countless times. Fortunately, Microsoft's relationship with the U.S. government has always been good, so Microsoft can still maintain its huge operations. If this is not the case, I am afraid that lawsuits every day may bring down Microsoft.
"Well, yes, I know that too." Bill nodded.
Sometimes, Bill was depressed too. He is really helpless about this monopoly bill. Why can other companies use their own resources to promote their own products? But you can't, if you use it, then you are suspected of monopoly. However, this is how the bill was settled. While Bill was depressed, he also knew that there was a monopoly. Whoever says that their products have won 98% of the world's market, others use their own resources to push their own business, of course, it is fine, but Microsoft uses its own resources to strongly promote its own business, then there will be trouble.
"By the way, we are suspected of monopoly, and Tang Dynasty Company is suspected of making samples."
An idea came to me at this time.
If you talk about the previous Tang Dynasty company, he can't say monopoly yet. But now the Tang Dynasty company, his Internet, has long connected the world. Although in terms of Internet market share, Tang Dynasty Company does not have a large proportion of Microsoft. However, the Internet is more monopolistic than other markets. Because, this one market, he is alive. And the rest, even if it is a cào system, is still dead. To master a living market is to master a dead market, and his monopoly power is superior.
However, such thoughts only flashed through Bill's mind, and he suppressed them for the time being.
At present, let's get rid of our own social jiāo website first, and then mention the Tang Dynasty company monopoly case later.
"If the EU wants to come, let him come, it's a big deal, we lose money."
At this point, Bill is in power. Regardless of whether he is in the EU or not in the EU, he has a monopoly on himself, and if he interferes, let him interfere. At that time, even if we lose the lawsuit, we will still promote the market. At most, we are fines. Can you still take back our market? Just like the cào system, if you grab so much of the market, even if you pay me a huge fine, I don't care at all.
This fine is compared to the market it has preempted. Who's lighter and who's heavier, Bill knows at a glance.
With that, Bill looked at everyone seated.
It wasn't until a while later that Microsoft was sitting at the top and all slapped their hands.
They never imagined that Bill would have such courage. In the past, when the European Union sued Microsoft, they had a lot of high-level executives, and they all had a headache. But I didn't expect that the current Bill, his words, made everyone figure it out. Yes, just sue, I'm too lazy to bother with you. If you want to go to court, I'll fight you, and besides, I'm trying to figure out how to delay time. In the end, even if you fail, the worst result is to lose money.
"Hahaha."
The crowd laughed.
When it comes to lawsuits, the last thing Microsoft is afraid of is losing money.
If they can solve their monopoly problem, they will definitely respond positively. Now this monopoly case means. Even if they lose the case in the end, they can still lose money to solve it. We lost money, we continue to monopolize. And after losing money, we are really expanding our business, without any monopolistic behavior.
"Guys, what questions do you have about this plan?"
The final word, the strategy of Microsoft's community website, officially achieved.
Moreover, among them, Bill also named this website "Second Life." ”
"Second Life."
The 社jiāo website shows us a different life from the reality of the "first life", until now, many friends say that they would not be able to live without the 社jiāo website. At this time, Bill named the website he was about to build "Second Life", which couldn't be better. Moreover, it absorbed Tang Dynasty's understanding of virtual life. The internet, including online games, his virtual social jiāo interaction, is largely the same as "real life". In this way, the name of Second Life, where to put it, is also very appropriate.
"Okay, I think everyone has no problem with the matter of the Shejiāo website. So, let's talk about another thing. ”
"Another thing?"
Everyone thought in their hearts that after talking about this social jiāo website, it was basically OK. But it seems that the other thing that Bill is talking about, it seems, is just as important as the things that do on the website of the society.
"Yes, the website of the society is important. However, our competitors are simply too strong, and we have to find a way to defeat them. ”
"I see."
Speaking of competitors, from Microsoft's point of view, the biggest competitor in the world is Tang Dynasty Company. Whether it is the Cào system that Tang Dynasty Company is secretly developing, or the office management software of Tang Dynasty Company, or even his communication tools. Even for entertainment games, Microsoft has a close conflict with Tang Dynasty. It can be said that as long as Tang Dynasty companies are undefeated, or, their market share does not decline, it will be difficult for Microsoft to enter other markets. In particular, Tang Dynasty Company has the most solid grasp of the Internet community network market.
"Boos, I think we can cause some trouble for the Tang Dynasty Company. For example, we find some unreasonable places to hype up in Renren or some of his other products. ”
A group company, all its businesses, cannot be all reasonable, nor can all be in line with the norm. Just like people, no matter how good a person is, he has some shortcomings. If you magnify these shortcomings, then no matter how good the people are. Perhaps, after you understand these shortcomings, you will think that this person is purely a scumbag.
Naturally, it is also suitable for business warfare...... For thousands of years, there have been merchants, and there have been business wars.
No matter how times change, countless companies have used the strategy of using gossip or rumors to attack competitors. To take a relatively simple example, you are producing a product at the same time as a business. However, the products you produce don't have much of a competitive advantage compared to your competitors' products. If at this time, you use more effective PR. For example, it's okay to expose how unhygienic the production workshop of this enterprise is. Exposed again, their products have a chemical ingredient that is harmful to the human body. As long as you hype it properly, such a business will be an egg in an instant.
Of course, everything you say must be true.
Moreover, you have to be more secretive about this kind of hype, and if you are discovered, you may be suppressed by your peers.
In the same way, if Microsoft wants to defeat the Tang Dynasty Company, or let the prestige of the Tang Dynasty Company plummet, there can also be such hype.
"Hype is okay, but we have to have thematic hype?"
Microsoft knows Chen Jiayi of Tang Dynasty Company very well. If you want to have a war of words with the Tang Dynasty company, it is definitely an unwise choice. Moreover, if you just don't care about some innocuous things, Tang Dynasty Company will not care. Moreover, Microsoft can speak ill of Tang Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty can still speak ill of Microsoft. Moreover, the Internet mastered by Tang Dynasty was more powerful than Microsoft. In such a fight, Microsoft will not be able to reap the benefits.
If you want to stir up, then fry it bigger, fry it all over the world, and even the government will be alarmed.
"Tell me, how about we hype up the monopoly of the Tang Dynasty company?"
"Monopoly?"
When Bill talks about monopoly, Microsoft's top management keeps thinking about it at any time.
"It seems that Tang Dynasty Company is indeed suspected of monopoly."
It's just that when it comes to monopoly, they suddenly think of the war between the "Huāqi Bank" and the Tang Dynasty Company. At that time, Huāqi Bank and Tang Dynasty Company were competing for Internet third-party payment. In the end, the Huā Banner Bank was defeated, and there was no other way, so the Huā Banner Bank had no choice but to introduce a Tang Dynasty company monopoly theory. It is a pity that this monopoly statement has not been recognized by others.
Why now, Boos is talking about this monopoly again?
"I know that you may be thinking of the monopoly case that Huāqi Bank and Tang Dynasty Company talked about before. However, I would like to say that the monopoly of the Tang Dynasty company that we are hyping up now is not at all the same thing as the monopoly of the previous one. Last time, the subject of the lawsuit was the Alibaba e-commerce platform. In fact, at that time, Alibaba was not the only e-commerce platform, and the world's e-commerce giants like eBay still occupied a relatively large market in the world. In addition, countries also have their own small e-commerce platforms. There are so many competing enterprises, how can they be suspected of monopoly. However, this time, the monopoly subject of our hype is not Alibaba, but the entire Tang Dynasty company. ”
If the subsidiaries of Tang Dynasty Company are suspected of monopoly, it is indeed a painful matter.
Whether it's Tang Dynasty TT or Baidu search engine...... None of them have a monopoly. Not to mention, their software products are free, and they have a lot of competitors for these products. Like the Tang Dynasty TT instant messenger, there are IcQ and msN in the world that have been competing with it. Like the Baidu search engine, although Google has been wiped out, there is still Yahoo Search. The only thing is that "Renren" has a larger market share. However, Renren.com, he did not take any measures, such as prohibiting others from coming in or anything, or suppressing his peers.
However, when it comes to the entire group of companies in the Tang Dynasty. Then, the possibility of monopoly will also increase. , even if Chen Jiayi was from beginning to end, he didn't think about how to monopolize it. However, invisibly, in order to promote his products, he still has some suspicious monopolies. Not to mention, Chen Jiayi really wants to monopolize the world. No, a lot of his products are going in this direction. As a result, we have seen that many websites under the Tang Dynasty Company have promoted their own products. For other products, hehe, sorry, stand aside...... Even if you can take their advertisement, you just type it casually, so as not to gossip about others.
Such an approach, presumably for many people, they will think that the Tang Dynasty company monopolies.
"We know how to do it."
Bill's explanation is already clear, and there is nothing in the upper echelons that does not understand.
"I think the EU will also be interested in the monopoly of Tang Dynasty companies."
Bill laughed.
He wants to take a look at the Tang Dynasty company, which has been going smoothly. What will he do with the monopoly interference from the global government? You know, a crisis like this, it's not just any company, he can deal with it. Even before, Microsoft's handling of monopoly almost cost "Bill" his life.
Whenever he thinks back to that time, Bill still has palpitations.
……
Tang Dynasty Company, Chen Jiayi is inspecting the major events of the subsidiaries of Tang Dynasty Group.
"Mr. Chen, there is a news circulating in Europe and the United States."
"Huh, Zixian?"
It was not Chen Jiayi's secretary Liu Zhiming who reported the news, but Zhang Zixian, the cEo of Tang Dynasty Group.
"How?"
"What's the news?"
Although Chen Jiayi felt that it was a little strange for Zhang Zixian to come in person, he still picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked slowly.
"There is news about the monopoly of our Tang Dynasty company."
"What...... Monopolize? ”
Almost, Chen Jiayi was about to choke.
After a few seconds of relaxation, Chen Jiayi showed calm and slowly drank the tea in his mouth.
"What's the situation like now?"
It seems that Chen Jiayi is calm, but in fact, Chen Jiayi's heart has already been turbulent.
"This news is getting more and more complicated, and in order to control the further expansion of the situation, our major websites have chosen to block it. However, judging from such a frenzy of circulation, it may ......"
The Internet** is often of great concern to the governments of various countries.
Zhang Zixian didn't say anything more, and as soon as Chen Jia finished listening, he quickly logged in to the computer and browsed the news on major websites around the world.
"Tang Dynasty Company is suspected of monopoly, and it is rumored that the EU has launched an investigation."
IcQ, msN, AOL ...... Even Yahoo, their front-page headlines, are all about the alleged monopoly of Tang Dynasty companies.
"I said, which guy wants to trick me?"
Such information will not be thrown out for no reason. If there was no super strong enterprise taking the lead, it would not have been possible to have such a big response so quickly. Seeing this news, Chen Jia felt that his head was big. This time, it's real. Because, judging from this news, they are suing Tang Dynasty Group, not a subsidiary of Tang Dynasty Group.
