Chapter 1401: Tonight is different
When the news that the Huaxia Trade Commission sued Microsoft for monopoly and claimed 2.3 billion RMB was reported, the Huaxia Internet suddenly boiled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm not mistaken, when did our Huaxia become so strong that we dared to sue Microsoft?"
"Hey, what's new about this, how long has it been since the case that CCTV sued those foreign companies, and you have forgotten it? Let me tell you, this year's leaders are too tough! ”
"I'm doing IT, Microsoft has been accused in many countries before, and we haven't said anything here in Huaxia, and now it's finally happening."
"You don't know, do you? I'm a lawyer, and we didn't have an anti-monopoly law in China before, and this is not the draft anti-monopoly law that was just passed a few days ago. ”
"Eh, upstairs, you said that, do you mean that this antitrust law was made just to sue Microsoft?"
"Poof~~~ Then Microsoft is too glorious, in order to sue him, our country has also come up with a law!"
"Anyway, I support the country, and if I am fined eight times out of ten times a year, it is equivalent to generating income!"
"But that's Microsoft, can we win? And Microsoft has just invested so much money in our Huaxia, isn't it not very kind to do so? Besides, it's a company in the United States. ”
"Upstairs traitor, the identification is complete!"
"What's wrong with Mi Guo? What happened to Microsoft? Are we afraid of them? If you can't do it, I'll be ready to go to war! ”
……
Feng Yu browsed on the forum, there are too many posts on the Internet about accusing Microsoft, the vast majority of people express support, some say they don't care, and a very small number of people are speaking for Microsoft.
Some of them may have been employees of Microsoft, or they could have made these comments on purpose to attract attention, but their posts were quickly drowned out.
Some of the staff members of the political axe in Huaxia are also watching the discussion of netizens on the Internet, and they are much more relaxed when they see that netizens are so supportive.
It seems that their worries before were unnecessary, and people with a little sense should understand that this move is very beneficial to Huaxia.
Huaxia is very happy here, but Microsoft feels hot.
Originally, just after the EU side was ruled to lose the lawsuit, island countries, South Korea and other countries jumped out and began to sue Microsoft, and did not accept any out-of-court settlement.
They were thinking about how to deal with these two countries, and Huaxia jumped out and began to sue them.
This is not the end, and then an organization called the Eastern European Business Alliance also appeared, on behalf of many Eastern European countries, they also filed monopoly accusations against Microsoft, and demanded that the ruling be made according to the EU side.
There are also some countries that have negotiated out of court and are ready to sign the agreement, but now they are not signing it, demanding more and better conditions, otherwise they will continue to sue Microsoft.
They calculated that Microsoft could not take care of multiple regions, and it would inevitably compromise quickly in some places, otherwise these countries and regions would sue Microsoft at the same time, and Microsoft would be exhausted and lose a lot.
Microsoft's bundling in the past few years has seen very great results, and the market share of their bundled products has been rising, and now it is actually not bundled, and there is no big problem.
But if they can continue to bundle, they can continue to expand their market share and guarantee higher profits.
If it can't be bundled all at once, there will definitely be many users who choose other companies' products out of some psychology. Microsoft can't guarantee that other companies' products will not be useful, and those who dare to launch similar products have their own characteristics.
If they can't tie up, they won't be able to continue to maintain their advantage, and they can't tell when their market share will fall, and the loss will be great.
So Microsoft would rather go to court and lose money than remove these bundles.

"China and Eastern Europe have also begun to accuse us of monopoly, how should this matter be handled?" Bill? Gates asked in a deep voice.
"Our sales in Huaxia and Eastern Europe are not very good, especially in Huaxia, where our Windows system was sold at a very low price. Even so, many of them must have installed piracy systems, which is embarrassing to sue us? ”
"Just because we use piracy doesn't mean that others can't sue us. But this is a reminder to us, why can't we use this to sue Huaxia in turn? They use piracy, so it's always okay for us to claim compensation, right? A director said.
"Claim, how to claim? How do you tell if someone else is using a genuine or pirated copy? Will someone else obediently turn on the computer and let us test it? ”
"We can add a system patch, through this patch, automatically query whether the system is genuine or pirated, if it is pirated, then give the other party a black screen treatment, so that the other party has to buy genuine."
"Black screen? That's a bit serious, right? This will make many potential customers bored with our brand. And if they delay something important on the other side, they will in turn claim against us, and they can excuse themselves not knowing that they are pretending to be pirated, so that we will get into trouble again. Someone retorted.
"No, we can start by constantly popping up reminders to remind them that they are using pirated copies, and not only can we detect the system, but also whether our other Microsoft products are genuine. After an hour, the black screen is given again, and the black screen is not completely black, and it can be restored by debugging the display, etc., which does not affect the use, but it will be very troublesome. ”
"I agree with this approach." Ballmer said.
In this way, it can not only stimulate the other party to change the genuine version, but also detect how many pirated users there are, so as to negotiate with Huaxia and strive for an out-of-court settlement. Otherwise, we will accuse you of insufficient protection of the intellectual property rights of the Huaxia team, which damages the interests of our Microsoft.
Bill? Gates thought for a while and nodded: "This solution is okay, how long will it take to make it?" ”
"By the end of this year at the latest." Paul? Alan tilted his chin with a smug expression.
When you have no choice, or the technical department I led came up with a solution, right? Hmph, what would Microsoft do without me?
……
"Eh, see, a representative of Microsoft showed up, what did he say, they didn't admit to this accusation at all? And shameless! ”
"Eh, what do you mean to provide customers with better choices, which means that their products are the best? I'm sorry, Microsoft's office software doesn't even think that Silver Mountain is easy to use, what a brag b! ”
"Huh? Upstairs is not an exaggeration, right, even think that Silver Mountain's is really better than Microsoft? That's Microsoft, the world's first, you're not fooling, are you? ”
"Exaggerating what, Bill? Gates used to be the richest man in the world, but now he is not being squeezed out by our Huaxia Mr. Feng? Don't always look at the problem with the old eyes, our Huaxia science and technology is developing rapidly, and tonight is no longer the same as in the past! ”
