Chapter 239: Eloquent

"Two gentlemen, we invited you here this time to let you each briefly talk about your company's views on Xbox, President Lee Jae-yong, please talk about it first." Microsoft Chairman Thompson first motioned for Lee Jae-yong and Lee Haoyu to sit down separately, and then said with a smile.

Lee Jae-yong nodded at Thompson, and then quickly glanced around at Microsoft's major directors, and then said without hurrying: "Gentlemen, I won't say anything superfluous, Samsung Group is one of the best electronics suppliers in the world, and has financial resources that are difficult for ordinary companies to achieve, except for a few manufacturers of electronic equipment, I believe it is difficult to find a company that is more proficient in electronic products than us." By handing over Xbox to our Samsung Group, we will not only invest huge sums of money in developing next-generation console platforms to compete with Sony and Nintendo, but will also form a dedicated video game studio to make Xbox games. ”

Li Zaiyong's eyes saw the quotations of the two companies on the projection cloth, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then he said quietly: "Of course, in order to show our sincerity, the purchase price of Xbox will be increased to 3.2 billion US dollars, and Microsoft has reached a comprehensive cooperation with Microsoft in mobile phone systems, smart phone development, etc., to achieve a win-win situation." ”

Microsoft's directors couldn't help but clap their hands after Lee Jae-yong finished speaking, and Spencer said, "President Lee is really a big man!" I believe that Xbox will be reborn in the hands of President Li! It was as if Lee Jae-yong had already gotten the right to acquire Xbox and praised him.

"Xie Lu, Mr. Xie Spencer's praise, Chairman Li has not yet spoken, and it is not certain who acquired Xbox." Lee Jae-yong said politely.

Thompson was very satisfied with Lee Jae-yong's attitude, and the smile on his face became more cordial, and said: "President Lee is too humble, and no one can deny the strength of Samsung Group, especially in terms of electronic products, it is one of the top manufacturers in the world." After a while, he seemed to remember that Li Haoyu was here, and coughed embarrassedly: "Chairman Li, it's time for you to talk about your views on Xbox." ”

Ballmer saw Thompson's attitude, and sighed in his heart, secretly saying that it was bad, Thompson seemed to be a little biased towards Lee Jae-yong, and the mythical group won Xbox this time a bit hanging!

Li Haoyu has developed a sense of joy and anger in the business sea after so many years of fighting, although he secretly slandered Thompson's partiality in his heart, but on the surface, he couldn't see it at all, he nodded at the directors of Microsoft, and said in a subdued tone: "Gentlemen, the quotations and conditions of our Mythical Group are already there, the price of Samsung Group is 3.2 billion US dollars, and our Mythical Group can be 3.5 billion US dollars, I don't have anything to say if Samsung is willing to continue to sell too high, but I have a piece of advice before I do that. ”

Spencer smiled lightly and said, "Oh? I would like to know what advice Chairman Li has for us old men. ”

The other directors also cast curious glances at Li Haoyu, not knowing what the "advice" that the young man said.

"What do you think about the future of Microsoft's mobile operating system, Windows Phone 8?" Li Haoyu asked.

Thompson and Lee Jae-yong showed thoughtful expressions at the same time, Thompson's originally smiling face suddenly froze, and Lee Jae-yong's confidence also turned into a face full of consternation.

Spencer sneered: "Of course it is very optimistic, although the current mainstream of the market is still based on android and IOS, the two mobile operating systems, but our Windows Phone has become the third operating system in the market." IOS is not applicable except for its own Apple mobile phones, and the operation is cumbersome, and the people who use it have been fixed, and it is impossible to have too much impact on the market, unless Apple gives up its previous boutique strategy to enter the low-end mobile phone. Although the android operating system is good, our WindowsPhone operating system is not bad, and it is definitely not a problem to surpass android in terms of market share over time. ”

Li Haoyu chuckled: "Yes, the pattern of the world is changing at a rapid pace, and the mobile operating system will become more and more important, and it is not impossible to even surpass the operating system on the PC side." Microsoft missed the best time to enter the smartphone and mobile operating system a few years ago, and is currently trying to catch up with the android and iOS systems, and many companies will join the competition that will affect the future market landscape at this time. ”

After a pause, Li Haoyu looked at the Microsoft directors who had been thoughtful, smiled even brighter, and continued: "But some directors of Microsoft's board of directors actually want to reach an agreement with future competitors to sell Xbox to competitors. You all know how important it is for Mobile's operating system, Samsung Group has opened up the new generation of Tizen operating system in cooperation with Intel Corporation in the past few years, and has installed this Tizen system on the latest smartphones. According to incomplete statistics, the latest Samsung smartphones equipped with the Tizen system will make 25% of the smartphones move from android to Tizen, and more than half of the users in the Asian market will choose the Tizen system. In the long run, I believe that the directors of Microsoft know better than I do what this will be, so I will not say more, I believe that the directors have their own judgment and know what is better for Microsoft. ”

Li Haoyu also felt a little dry when he said this long list, and after taking a sip of coffee, he smiled and waited for the decision of the Microsoft director.

Lee Jae-yong's face was pale, and he also knew that what Li Haoyu said was the truth and could not be refuted. The mobile phone operating system and Xbox are fundamentally different things, but after Li Haoyu said this, if he continues to choose Samsung Group, then it is equivalent to betraying Microsoft's interests, he knows that he has failed to compete for Xbox this time, and he is convinced.

Thompson and the other directors looked at each other, their hearts filled with horror. Unlike Samsung, it doesn't matter if their Tizen system fails, at most they will lose a little money, and their phones can be equipped with other systems in the future. Microsoft started with the operating system, and now the main profit point is also in this area, if they lose on the mobile operating system, then Microsoft's decline is already doomed.

"President Li, Chairman Li, can you please go out first? We will have to take the last vote to reply. Thompson said to the two.

Li Haoyu said: "This is a matter of course. He walked out of the conference room in style.

Li Zaiyong let out a long breath and said, "I'll go out first." After walking out of the conference room, he came to Li Haoyu's side, glanced at this excessively young man with a complicated expression, and said, "Chairman Li, congratulations." ”

"President Li, now Mr. Thompson and they are making the final vote, and Samsung Group has great hopes of getting Xbox." Li Haoyu was unwilling to tell the truth, and he was even more unwilling to offend the man in charge of the Samsung Group to death, so he said as tactfully as possible.

Lee Jae-yong is also a figure who can afford to let go, he shook his head and said: "Chairman Li doesn't need to comfort me, this time Xbox is also in your company's bag, and I am here to congratulate you in advance." ”

Li Haoyu didn't say anything anymore, his wording was indeed enough to move the directors of Microsoft, and they also had a premise that they liked to fight. That is, Microsoft can still be the overlord of the operating system as it is now, otherwise who is interested in fighting for a declining company?

After chatting with Lee Jae-yong for about a quarter of an hour, Li Haoyu found that this middle-aged man was indeed knowledgeable, involved in astronomy and geography, and had his own understanding and views on games, which made Li Haoyu consciously learn a lot.

Lee Jae-yong is not dissatisfied with Lee Haoyu because the Xbox was snatched away, and he knows everything about discussing issues with Lee Haoyu. Although Li Haoyu is young, he has a keen sense of smell for business and local insights on games, which makes Lee Jae-yong greatly appreciated.

A quarter of an hour later, the two walked into the conference room again, and sure enough, after Li Haoyu took the stake, all the directors of Microsoft voted in favor of selling Xbox to Huaxia Mythical Group.

"President Li, Chairman Li, after the solemn consideration of our chairman of Microsoft, and the vote, we have decided to sell the entire business of Xbox and Microsoft Game Studios to Huaxia Mythical Group as a whole. President Li, I'm so sorry for letting you run away in vain this time. Chairman Li, congratulations, please send someone to take over the Xbox business and Microsoft Game Studios as soon as possible. Microsoft Chairman John Thompson announced the final result that everyone expected.

Samsung Group came this time, and returned in defeat, thinking that the Microsoft Xbox business that was very sure was snatched away by a game company that had only been established for two years, fortunately, the outside world still doesn't know about this matter, otherwise Samsung Group will be a big shame this time.

"Chairman Li, congratulations." Lee Jae-yong once again said congratulations.

"President Li, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Ballmer are all gentlemen on the board of directors of Microsoft, thank you." Li Haoyu said sincerely.
