Microsoft and Sun Microsystems can be said to be mortal rivals, especially since 95 years the two of them have positioned each other as your mortal rivals. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Sun Microsystems, founded in 1982, had a market value of $200 billion at the peak of Sun Microsystems' glory, far surpassing IBM at that time.
Sun Microsystems was the first computer company to enter the Chinese market, and their original model for entering China was to cooperate with the government, so his influence in China at the beginning of 96 was much higher than that of Microsoft.
In 96, the market value of Sun Microsystems' Sun stock is about to rush to the peak, and the most important thing in their hands at this time is banknotes. President McNeely would bring James Gosling, the father of Java, to China to take down the computer operating system demonstrated by Lu Hao in the United States.
Bill Gates is well aware of McNeely's arrival, and since the 80s, Microsoft and Intel have formed the Wintel Alliance, which is invincible.
For Bill Gates, it is imperative to win Lu Hao's computer operating system, and Microsoft must not fail, nor will it allow failure.
Bill Gates is still very confident in this, and the biggest point of his confidence is that the basis of the new operating system is their windows95, and if the negotiation fails, he will definitely use legal weapons to deal with Lu Hao.
Although Bill Gates has made a decision, he will not easily use legal weapons to defend himself, he has a very strong sense of crisis in his heart at this time, especially after the press conference, he feels that it may be stupid for him to use legal weapons.
Bill Gates also knows that although Lu Hao's operating system is based on windows95, it is undeniable that the advancement of the new system is incomparable to windows95, if Microsoft can win the operating system, it will be like a tiger with wings, if it is not obtained but by its own opponents such as sun, then their Microsoft disaster will definitely come.
Bill Gates was right, his nemesis Sun's McNeely was thinking about taking the new operating system at all costs, and as long as he took the operating system, then he would have enough strength to deal with Microsoft.
McNeely actually has a strong weapon against Microsoft, that is, Java, but unfortunately he did not recognize, and this point was taken seriously by Microsoft, which recognized that Java is not just a language, it is probably a replacement, but precisely the programming model on which Windows is based.
In order to deal with Sun, Microsoft made a detailed plan to block Sun a few months ago. According to the original intention, they first showed good cooperation and used their Java language to design a browser to block Netscape, but due to the emergence of Lu Hao's new language, Microsoft temporarily abandoned this plan.
Lu Hao knows how Microsoft played dead in history, not so much to be played to death as to be sun's own corporate culture to strangle themselves, they only focus on the development of hardware, sell products to large and medium-sized enterprises, and make a lot of money, but they did not expect the bursting of the 2000 Internet bubble, large and medium-sized enterprises have reduced their expenses, Sun was greatly impacted, and was acquired by Oracle after a few years.
Lu Hao took advantage of this, after he returned to Xinhu City, he met with many foreign guests he invited, but he didn't go to see Bill Gates, not only that, but he was also friendly with Sun McNeely, and the two would talk and laugh together from time to time.
Bill Gates will never be willing to negotiate the door is closed, every time he sees Lu Hao and McNeely laughing together, he can't control his emotions and wants to get angry, if it weren't for the scheming Buffett pressing him, he would have rushed out a long time ago.
"Bill, it's time for you to come forward, Lu Hao's tactics have been exhausted, and then he is going to open his mouth to you lion." Warren Buffett laughed.
"Loot while it's hot!" Bill Gates said angrily, "This bastard is blatantly taking advantage of the fire!" ā
As soon as he finished scolding Bill, his momentum fell, and he sighed and said, "But there is nothing I can do about it, whether or not I can win the new operating system is a matter of life and death for Microsoft." ā
"Bill, don't worry about the money, what you are thinking about now is how to take down the new operating system, as long as you take it down, a press conference will be held immediately, and before you return to the United States, Microsoft's stock price will skyrocket." After Buffett took a sip of the best black tea provided by Haohai Company and praised "good tea", he continued, "If you can't take it, Microsoft's stock price will plummet!" ā
Bill Gates nodded, understanding what Buffett meant, which is to take the new operating system at any cost.
Bill Gates decided not to wait any longer, and at noon he ate a Western meal made by Ruth himself in the Western restaurant of Baiwei Garden, and drank a large glass of wine, and then walked to the south of Baiwei Garden and entered Lu Hao's office through the back door.
"Bill Gates is here!"
"I also saw it, he came up from the middle corridor, and I also told him the correct location of Lu Hao's office!"
"Bill is my idol!"
"You are so fickle, isn't your idol Lu Hao?"
"Bastard, Bill is my former idol!"
The arrival of Bill Gates made the people in the office boil, and a few bold people even ran forward to shake his hand. Bill Gates is definitely the first person in the technology industry, and he definitely has more admirers in China than in the United States, you must know that we have a billion people.
Lu Hao has been waiting for Bill Gates' arrival for a long time, and he knows that Bill Gates' patience has been exhausted by him.
"Mr. Gates, why are you here in person, you can say that I will visit you in your room!" Lu Hao held Bill's hand and said sincerely and humbly.
Bill Gates's personality is a typical American character, speaking directly, not beating around the bush, and said with a smile, "You said to me at yesterday's press conference that I am a person you respect, I should believe this, right?" ā
"Of course!" Lu Hao welcomed him into the room with a smile, and asked someone to make him a cup of tea, "Are you still used to drinking tea?" We're sorry, but we don't offer coffee. ā
"I like to drink tea, but it's wrong for your company not to provide coffee, respect everyone's choice!" Bill said.
"Okay, I'll correct it, I'll serve coffee drinks tomorrow!" Lu Hao sincerely accepted his suggestion.
Bill Gates saw that Lu Hao's attitude was very sincere, and his heart was a lot more relaxed, it seemed that the negotiation with him should not be too difficult, he paused for a while and said directly, "Your new operating system is based on our Windows 95, do you know that you are piracy?" ā
