Chapter 1386: Hurting Each Other
"Lao Lei, how is it, our office software sales are very gratifying these days, right?" Feng Yu called Lei Dajun and asked with a smile. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The first three days were really hot, but the day before yesterday, there were some problems, it seems that the surge in pirated users of Microsoft also affected the sales of our products."
Well? Microsoft's spike in pirated users? It can't be, right? Microsoft is also a new office software, isn't it just that it was cracked so quickly?
Even if it's an ordinary cracked version.,But there's no activation code.,It can be used for a month at most, right? And if you use Microsoft's system, it will be automatically recorded, and unless you reinstall the system, you can install piracy again, aren't those people afraid of trouble? A lot of people don't reinstall the system at all, and they cost money, right?
WPS office software, the promotional price is only 69 yuan RMB, most people who often use it, should choose to spend money to install, right? Could it be that someone made a completely cracked version?
"How, do you know who cracked Microsoft's protector? Can you secretly poach him into our company, this is a talent. ”
Those who make viruses such as Trojan horses are also masters of computer software. If such a person can go on the right path, the value created will definitely be very high.
"Mr. Feng, the situation seems to be a little strange, now there is a software called office activation code generator on the market, you can directly brush out the activation code, and then you can activate the pirated Microsoft Office software normally, just like the genuine version, there is no restriction on use!"
"We traced the place where this software first appeared, but what makes us particularly puzzling is that this software suddenly appeared on the Internet the day before yesterday, and then it was uploaded to a large number of major domestic websites in a short period of time, providing free downloads. The first address to be uploaded is an Internet café. ”
"Someone cracked it out and uploaded it through an Internet café, which is normal and understandable. But in less than two hours, it quickly appeared on multiple websites, which is very problematic, indicating that someone is using the server to swipe the news, so that many people know that there is such a free activation code generator! ”
When Feng Yu heard this, he also felt that there was something wrong. Someone cracked it, and it was not used for profit, for example, you can provide an activation code for a fee, ten yuan a piece, and there should be many people willing to try. Or provide an activation code generator for a fee, as long as you make a protection program, so that an activation code generator can only be used less than three times, or even only once, can't you make a lot of money?
I don't dare to say that it's not a problem to sell tens of thousands of copies, that's 100,000 yuan.
Even if this person doesn't want to make a profit through this, but he also lets everyone know about this news, which is a bit deliberately aimed at Microsoft. But the strangest thing is that there is no saying on the Internet that Microsoft has spoken out, condemned it, or issued a statement to hold it accountable.
Normal companies will tell consumers that doing so is against the law and infringes on intellectual property rights. Even if Microsoft's current software doesn't sell as well as Silver Mountain's, it can still sell a lot.
Even if it is 100,000 copies, according to Microsoft's previous price of 169 yuan RMB, it is more than 10 million, or at least 2 million US dollars.
What's more, how can Microsoft's sales be only 100,000 copies.
"What do you mean, this matter has something to do with Microsoft itself?" Feng Yu asked in surprise.
"Mr. Feng, it's not that we have a black belly, but you think, Microsoft's security protection program is also the top in the world. This activation code generator should be one of the core of security protection, and it was cracked so easily? If the person who cracked it is a Microsoft programmer, then it would be easy to explain. ”
And Microsoft doesn't care about it, which is clearly a kind of connivance. In this way, more users will choose to download Microsoft's office software on the Internet, and then download or get an activation code generator from a friend, and it can be used normally. ”
"Although our office software is better than Microsoft's in some functions, in fact, there are not many easy to use. And mainly some advanced functions have been added, and those advanced functions are not used by most people. Although we have a very cheap price, but there is a free one, who wants to spend money? ”
"But we still find it strange that if Microsoft employees did it themselves, it is because they have a grudge against Microsoft to do it. But even so, Microsoft should respond. Unless, Microsoft is just going to let piracy run rampant. But doing so can affect the sales of our products, but what good is it for them? ”
Feng Yu pondered for a moment: "This matter is really good for Microsoft." First, they can sue those who use piracy, especially corporations and even political axes, in order to get a compensation and expand their influence. ”
"Secondly, they will let users use Microsoft's office software more, so as to abandon our office software. How much promotion do we do and how much effort do we spend to get users used to using our software? If users do not buy our genuine software, then our new product will not be able to recover the development cost, resulting in losses. ”
"Although it is said that Microsoft will also lose money in this move, Microsoft's family is big, and they lose one or two billion dollars a year, which is not a problem at all. If our Lianxiang Silver Mountain Company loses one or two billion RMB, the impact will not be small. ”
Feng Yu understood that the meaning of Microsoft's move was obvious, that is, to hurt each other.
And Microsoft wants to use more abundant capital to defeat Lianxiang Yinshan, at least let Lianxiang Yinshan lose money in office software. Without the support of this part of the profits, even the development of other software such as computer operating systems will inevitably be affected.
"Lao Lei, have we recovered our R&D costs?" Feng Yu asked.
"The foreign market is not profitable at this time, and if the domestic market can't be sold, we may have to lose some money, but it won't be too big. But according to our plan, we should have made more than $500 million in profits this year just for office software. Without this money, all of our R&D initiatives would be severely impacted. ”
"Our operating system is at a critical juncture, and we are in dire need of a lot of money. Our smartphone system is only used by wind and rain mobile phones and Aihua mobile phones, plus our selling price is not high, and there is no profit. The antivirus software market is too competitive now, and we can only create some profits by relying on enterprise-level security protection, and ordinary antivirus software can only protect the capital. ”
Even thinking about Yinshan's development plan has been completely disrupted.
However, Microsoft also underestimated Lian Xiangyinshan, or underestimated him Feng Yu too much. Isn't it just burning money, as if no one can afford to burn?
"I'll go back to China tomorrow, inform Lao Liu, and beg them, let's have a meeting and declare war with Microsoft!"
