Chapter 278 Software Dumping Investigations

When Wei Jing came to find Yu Jun, he was helping Luo Yuan feed the rabbits on the roof of the villa. She went to the flower and bird market to buy 4 lop-eared rabbits and 3 Dodge rabbits, which looked very cute, and she had to take care of them carefully.

This lop-eared rabbit can grow to weigh dozens of pounds, with fluffy big ears, and a very honest appearance, she is placed at the end of Fengtai Mansion and no one takes care of her, there are servants who can watch it when she stays here, and Yu Jun can also help with it.

Yu Jun held a lop-eared rabbit, opened the door and said, "Sister Wei, do you have time to come and sit?" "

Wei Jing glanced at the rabbit in his arms, held back a smile and said, "I have something to look for you." "

The fact that Wei Jing wants to laugh is pitiful, and there are more people who want to see her smile than there are those who queue up to buy Spring Festival train tickets. Yu Jun is one of the few people who have good eyes.

"Microsoft requested an anti-dumping investigation against Kingsoft from the U.S. Department of Commerce." Wei Jing said after sitting down.

Yu Jun, who was still pouring water for her, turned around and said, "Didn't you investigate last year?" In the end, nothing happened, and nothing came out. Last time it was for PS, which software are they going to target this time? "

Hand the water to Wei Jing, except for drinking some red wine in social occasions, she has always drunk pure water.

She doesn't wear famous brands either, and the O1 suits and skirts on her body are all custom-made, not the kind of European aristocrats who use niche luxury brands, but a private tailor she was familiar with when she was in school.

The craftsmanship is very exquisite, but the price is not expensive, and the price of those ladies who are covered in 1V and Hermes is not comparable.

But the clothes also depend on who wears them, even if Wei Jing is wearing pajamas, I'm afraid that no one will think that they are ordinary goods.

Under one person in the Xiling Department and above 10,000 people, she will always rank first in the number of exposures in the media, and has long been rendered by major media as the top professional manager in China and the first strong woman.

If her wealth is to be converted into value, it is far beyond Lin Zixuan, and if you look at the Forbes rich list, she can rank first among women.

Her temperament and appearance are first-class, not inferior to Sun Yuhao, reporters like to deal with this kind of talented and beautiful person, but the cold aura on her body will not make people feel good.

"Or is GX over 1ooo million sets now? It's not even 5oo in the U.S., right? What's more, it's all pre-installed by OEMs, isn't Microsoft making a fuss? "

"Microsoft's report to the Ministry of Commerce calculated that the pre-installed price of each set of KingX is 5O yuan, less than 9 US dollars, and DOSXP is mainly divided into five versions, namely the home version, the professional version, the media center version, the laptop and the entry-level version facing the function restrictions in Southeast Asia.

The cheapest starter version costs $5o, and the most expensive pro version costs $26o.

Even the OEM version of the slave is more than $35, and the price is really not cheap. Every year, Microsoft's financial report is 6o% pre-tax profit, which is also conceivable.

Although KingX is only available in software stores, it is not yet available in any physical stores, and most of them are OEM versions on Dino and netbooks, relying on this way to open up the market.

But Microsoft's reaction is so big, it can be seen that the monopoly market on this operating system will not be handed over lightly.

The apple was cut off by Yu Jun before it was ripe, although Jobs's status was not worse than Gates's, but it was much less difficult.

It will be troublesome to deal with Microsoft, whether it is in terms of market capitalization, influence in the United States, national security, and financial reserves, relying on Jinshan alone is not Microsoft's opponent.

As soon as the dumping investigation was filed, the market value of Jinshan fell by 1%, which shows that it is unlikely that US investors will be able to escape the dumping case.

From the office point of view, divided into several different software combinations of office packages, the cheapest student package costs 3o dollars, only with ord, exce1 and ppT three kinds of software, and ps includes all the word processing, form processing and other types of office processing software package is only 3o dollars.

And this professional version of the office suite, Microsoft will sell for more than 4oo dollars.

The difference is 1o several times, in the same place, there are many functions that are not used, consumers are not fools, which one to choose, they have a number in their hearts.

It's not a complete price war, this is the lowest way of competition, and Yu Jun and Qiu Zhongjun will not take this step unless they are absolutely necessary.

Rather, it is calculated through cost, and Kingsoft mainly relies on OEMs and online games to make money, while KingX and PS are half to seize Microsoft's market, and half are considered from domestic software exhibitions and national security.

But the price difference of 1o times also gives Microsoft the handle to accuse Kingsoft of dumping, and considering the current market share of KingX and PS, the impact on Microsoft, plus Apple's matter, the Ministry of Commerce is likely to launch a larger investigation than the original.

"If the anti-dumping is established, the anti-dumping duty will be levied," Yu Jun pursed his mouth into a line, frowned and said, "It will have a great impact on Jinshan's financial report, the United States is not China, and the fines and fines are painless, and the shots are hundreds of millions of dollars." "

Wei Jing nodded and said, "Considering the possible impact, I asked President Qiu to discuss it with Ellison." "

"Ellison has a limited amount of help," Yu Jun waved his hand, "and Edward Kennedy will have to help with this." Well, this kind of large-scale investigation will take at least 3 months or more, and there is a complaint review period, the total period is about 18o days, no need to rush, just respond step by step, I will go to the United States a few times in the second half of the year, and I will mention it to Edward at that time. "

Wei Jing nodded slightly and got up to leave.

These things can be done on the phone, and she came to the door in person, which was too cautious.

Even though Kingsoft's software is sold at a price of 1o times cheaper than Microsoft, the profit is not much lower. This is determined by the cost of manpower. In Silicon Valley, the annual salary of a software engineer is at least 80,000 US dollars, and in China, 80,000 yuan can be used to hire engineers with similar strength.

This is an 8-fold difference, plus Kingsoft's sales are through the two main channels of guòoem and software stores, which saves a lot of sales expenses, and the profit margin is about the same.

Bill Gates couldn't help but use the anti-dumping stick, and naturally he also saw the long-term threat of KingX and PS to Microsoft, and in the long run, it is difficult for high-priced system software to survive for a long time.

After all, in a few years, entry-level computers will only need $4oo5oo a piece, and the operating system will mainly account for 11o of the cost? If you build a computer, it will cost half of the cost?

Photoshop, AutoCAD not to mention, converted to * RMB, are casually tens of thousands.

The software market in the United States is larger than in China, in large part because the software is so expensive.

Kingsoft is also developing modeling software and graph processing software, and Yu Jun's requirement for Kingsoft is to try to achieve independent research and perfection of all general-purpose software.

This is actually a good thing for American consumers, after all, the cheaper the software, the less pirated copies are used.

It's not that the United States is free of pirated software, but the crackdown is severe, and the survival time of pirated software is pitiful.

This is still a very long war, and Yu Jun even imagined that Jinshan might face an anti-dumping investigation from the U.S. Department of Commerce every year.

This is also a good and bad side of the view, this survey, Kingsoft's popularity has gone up, and it may not be a good thing for Microsoft, maybe it can also make the original Microsoft consumers turn to Kingsoft.

But whether it is Jinshan or Thunder, there are not too many things that Xiling can meddle in.

Listed companies cannot inject capital at will, and it is more dependent on the ability of Kingsoft itself, which can be regarded as allowing them to gradually break away from the wings of Xiling and slowly become a truly world-class enterprise.

Yu Jun picked up the lop-eared rabbit and carried it to the rooftop, looking at the slowly sliding sunset, will this Microsoft also be like it, going downhill?

At least in terms of the layout of software stores and Bx America, Microsoft is far behind Xiling, even if it withdraws from the operating system and office software market, it will not have much impact on Yu Jun's plan.

Seeing Luo Yuan's proud red trot to the door of the villa, Yu Jun smiled and walked down from the rooftop.

……

Qu Min didn't expect Du Qinghu to approve the construction plan of 250,000 square meters in Xiling, sat behind the desk with a frown, touched the phone with his hand, thought for a while, and then retracted his hand.

The old leader must have his own ideas, Qu Min pondered, Du Feng's revenge could not be avenged, Du Qing also suffered in the hands of Yu Jun, if Du Feng was still separated by one layer, then Du Qing was his biological son.

With Qu Min's understanding of Du Qinghu, can he watch it?

Even if Wei Xubo pressed him, the Du family's roots in Lingxi were still very deep.

Qu Min pondered for a while before deciding to go to Mingyang New Area to have a look.

Ye Ting received the call and called Zhao Jinyi.

"What is she going to do here?" Zhao Jinyi frowned and said, "After we took office, she didn't even come once. "

"Could it be related to the plan of Mingyang New Town?" Ye Ting also frowned, even if Du Qinghu approved it, but if Qu Min kept stumbling, this thing would not be easy to do.

Can Xing Nan completely withstand Qu Min's pressure? He has not yet been charged in the Standing Committee.

"Whatever, get ready to meet this aunt first." Zhao Jinyi grinned and said.

It took only 2o minutes from the Municipal Party Committee to the Ming Committee New District, and half an hour later, Qu Min's car stopped outside the district government, and Ye Ting stepped forward to open the door for her, with a not sincere smile on his face.

"Yes, the office buildings in Mingyang New District are taller than the city government."

As soon as Qu Min got out of the car and looked at the district government building, his face sank.

Ye Ting's face did not change, but he chuckled in his heart.
