"Lianxiang Silver Mountain's office software is available in multiple languages, which is almost not much less than ours, and the price in each region is half that of ours. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhat do you think should be done in this situation? "Bill? Gates asked in a deep voice.

"Even think about Silver Mountain Software Company, it seems that Feng is a shareholder, right? We should talk to Feng to avoid this vicious competition. We work together to raise the market gate, divide the market at the same time, and compete benignly, which can ensure the greatest interests. A director said.

Paul? Alan waved his hand angrily: "If it can be done so easily, what board of directors do you need to meet?" Feng came the day before yesterday, but he didn't agree to cooperate with us. As a result, yesterday the market competition against us began, leaving us unprepared. ”

When he said this, Paul? Alan also felt a little hot on his face. When Feng Yu left the day before yesterday, he warned them that he would immediately compete with them in the market. But they began to think that it was just the Chinese market.

Although the Huaxia market is large, the profit belongs to the lowest level, so they didn't pay much attention to it at first. As a result, they could have taken some precautions in time, but they ignored them.

The director opened his mouth and said no more. Yes, Feng was kicked out of Microsoft, and now he has become the richest man in the world, and it is normal to be arrogant.

Coupled with Feng's youth, being young means that it is not easy to compromise and easy to be impulsive. For the sake of face, it is normal to rather burn money than fight.

In his opinion, aren't all young people like this, and the richest man in the world is not exempt from vulgarity.

Ballmer frowned and asked, "If Feng wants to compete with us, then we will compete, with the scale of our funds, will we still be afraid of that Lianxiang Silver Mountain Software Company?" ”

"Steve, do you know what you're talking about? Money, it's money. With the selling price cut in half, how much will our profit be reduced? And if we do, it means that our stock price will go down and investors will distrust us! "Paul? Alan retorted.

"Well, is there any good way for Mr. Allen? Or can you convince Lian Xiang Yinshan to raise the price? Or can you make us sell well when the product quality is not as good as the other party, and the price is twice as high as the other party? I need to remind you that you are now in charge of our office software R&D department! ”

"What do you mean? Is that the R&D department I lead is dragging its feet? When I took over, that WPS had already surpassed us in some features! ”

Paul? Allen was furious, Ballmer was making groundless accusations against him, thinking that being the president and CEO of Microsoft was very powerful? He shouldn't have been given shares and put on the board of directors back then!

"Since WPS has already surpassed us when you took over, why did you take over for so long, and the gap has not only not narrowed, but widened? I don't know what I'm talking about, don't you? Is now the time to focus on immediate prices? Now we should pay more attention to how to retain users and ensure our market share. ”

"Our office software is now the most used in the world, and all the other office software is compared to ours to make evaluations. The benefit of this is that we have become the industry standard. They and other software companies have to look at our faces. ”

"And now? What does it mean to have a company that is ahead of our product in several features, and none of which is weaker than us? It represents the upgrade of the industry standard, and it is not us who formulate this upgrade standard! This is the office software R&D department you lead, and this is what you have been doing in the past few years! ”

"You have your own company, but you have all kinds of power at Microsoft. Are you really responsible? More of your energy is focused on your own company. Now that this is happening at Microsoft, you have a lot to blame! ”

Ballmer's remarks shocked the other directors. Is this a clear tearing face, asking Paul? Eren relinquished the power in his hands.

Ballmer is already president and CEO, what else does he want to do? Also, Ballmer, the chief administrator, can't command the department managed by Paul at all, and the two have deep grievances, so it's not too surprising that this situation occurs.

It's just that to their surprise, this time, why didn't Bill interrupt Ballmer's words? Could it be that Ballmer's remarks were tacitly approved by Bill?

Paul? Alan also found a problem, this time, there was no one to support him, and everyone looked at him, it seemed that they were full of complaints and criticism, including Bill? Gates.

But Paul? Alan definitely doesn't want to hand over power, and the easiest way now is to divert the topic, or divert the attention of others.

"Okay, what should I do now, according to what you said? Cut the price by half, and we can grab back the market? If you lower the price, won't the other party lower the price? Looking at the selling price in the Huaxia market, you can see how low the cost of Lianxiang Silver Mountain Software Company is. ”

"No, at least in the English-speaking market, we have an advantage. Although the cost of their engineers in China is lower, the native language of those engineers is Chinese. And the other language versions they release are in cooperation with some companies, which means that they want to give profits to each other, which increases their costs. ”

"We are different, we have our own branches in many countries, we have recruited a lot of employees, and many of our versions are translated by ourselves, and the cost of this is lower for us. We may not be an opponent in the Chinese market, but in other countries, we still have a very advantage. ”

Before Ballmer could finish speaking, one of the directors suddenly said, "Who said that in the Chinese market, we will definitely lose?" ”

Everyone looked at the director, the situation was already so clear, could there be other turning points?

"What do you think will happen if we no longer protect against piracy and if we no longer need activation codes?"

Everyone was shocked, such a situation is that piracy is rampant, so that there is no market for genuine copies. Wait a minute, he means, to seize the market with piracy, as they did in the first place?

But is this a way to harm others and not to oneself?

"We can not update this version, and after three years, we will launch a new version. Now this method is to make even Xiangyinshan have no profit, so that they lose money. The investment they needed to develop this software was not a small amount, right? If they can't sell it, it will definitely hit them hard. ”

"And we Microsoft, lose two or three billion a year, it's nothing at all, as long as the market is still in our hands, then there will be a steady stream of profits in the future!"
