"Competitors."

Zhang Ning said softly, "Threaten me?" ”

"No, Mr. Zhang, we at Microsoft have never threatened people, and what we like the most is a win-win situation."

"What if I say yes and I still refuse?"

"Mr. Zhang, don't refuse so quickly, you can go back and think about it."

With that, Tang Jun stood up.

"I won't bother Mr. Zhang, I know that Zhang is always a smart person and should know how to choose."

After speaking, Tang Jun left first.

Looking at Tang Jun's arrogant posture, Zhang Ning was very unhappy.

Damn, it's like he drove Microsoft.

That's right, though. Although Tang Jun is only a representative of Microsoft Greater China, he can be regarded as representing Microsoft when he contacts him. In particular, thinking that MSN is about to land in China, Zhang Ning is still very nervous.

"Sister Qing, check the information on MSN."

MSN was launched as early as '98, however, there is no Chinese version for the time being.

"Xiao Ning, what do you want MSN data for?"

"Just now, Tang Jun, President of Microsoft China, approached me, and they Microsoft is interested in buying our penguins. However, I didn't say yes. I expect that their MSN will probably be available in China soon. ”

"What ......"

"Microsoft is going to launch their MSN in China?"

"yes."

Zhang Ning nodded.

"Well, Xiao Ning, I'll go and sort out the information right away."

About an hour later, Chen Qingqing walked into Zhang Ning's office with a stack of materials.

"Xiao Ning, MSN has reached a tie with ICQ in the international market, and in the future, they may have to replace ICQ."

"So fast."

Zhang Ning was extremely surprised, before, he always felt that ICQ was the boss in the international market.

Unexpectedly, at this time, MSN actually came from behind.

"Yes, it's because Microsoft has adopted a strategy of being tied to the operating system. As a result, their market share has quickly increased. In particular, the introduction of XP Systems, Microsoft's most successful operating system. His appearance has a strong promotion effect on their browsers, players, and now MSN. ”

"No wonder, I almost forgot that Microsoft still has such a killer move."

On the operating system, directly bind this MSN.

What company can do it?

Although this does seem outrageous, however, he is effective.

"It seems that this MSN is really a Raptors crossing the river."

Although in later generations, Zhang Ning knew that QQ destroyed MSN, but how QQ destroyed MSN, Zhang Ning has never been very clear. Now, MSN is making a comeback at this time, and Zhang Ning has encountered the situation encountered by QQ in his previous life.

"Sister Qing, what do you think?"

"Xiao Ning, are you talking about dealing with MSN?"

"Yes."

"Because MSN hasn't been introduced to the market yet, we can just leave it for now. Or maybe it's just a threat to Microsoft, and it's unclear whether they really want to promote MSN in the domestic market. ”

"Sister Qing, I know Microsoft, and they will definitely promote MSN. Not just MSN, the player of the future, browsers...... and so on, they will also take care of it. I'm not afraid of them entering the domestic market, I'm afraid of their binding strategy. Moreover, Microsoft is also famous, which is very beneficial for promoting their MSN. ”

Previously, Zhang Ning dealt with Ma Huateng so easily, because he was stained with the light of later experience.

However, at this moment, MSN's sudden exit left Zhang Ning without much experience to rely on.

After all, Zhang Ning didn't know much about MSN.

He only remembered that MSN focused on business, office, and in later generations, it was used by a large number of white-collar elites.

Compared with MSN, most of the users of QQ are students and young people.

Especially now, although QQ has completely monopolized the domestic instant messaging market. However, the monopoly is still very short. Many people are still in the novice stage, and instant messaging has not become a necessity for their actual communication. In other words, QQ has not replaced mobile phones now, let alone phones. They can completely give up a QQ number they have just applied for, or they can completely give up the netizens in the QQ chat example.

And MSN is killing at this time, but it is really possible to launch the monopoly of QQ.

At the same time, with their binding, they do not worry about having no market, nor do they have no users.

This is also what Zhang Ning is most worried about.

"Xiao Ning, don't worry. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. Either way, we're at the edge. Although Microsoft is a supergiant, we are not necessarily afraid of him. ”

This statement made Zhang Ning relax a little.

yes, why are you so nervous, your QQ is still in an advantage.

Although Microsoft is big, it doesn't necessarily mean that Microsoft can do it.

In later generations, MSN was also sold to others, and no one used it.

Ma Huateng can destroy MSN, why can't he himself?

"Thank you, Sister Qing, it's me who is too nervous. Oh, by the way, Sister Qing, why don't you ask, why did I reject Microsoft. It stands to reason that with the big tree of Microsoft, we can also develop better in Penguin Technology. ”

"Hehe, Xiao Ning, I don't know you yet. Penguin Technology is your life, not to mention that Microsoft came to buy it, even if someone gave you financing before, you don't want to. ”

"Haha, haha, Sister Qing, let's change the topic, change the topic."

Zhang Ning was a little embarrassed.

That's true.

There can be cooperation, but if you want to buy your own company, or if you want to take your own shares, there is no way.

A few days later, Zhang Ning emailed Tang Jun back, but once again refused.

"Great, Zhang Ning, I knew you would refuse."

Receiving Zhang Ning's refusal, Tang Jun was excited.

Although the headquarters asked him to persuade Zhang Ning, Tang Jun really didn't want Microsoft to buy Penguin Technology.

In his opinion, Microsoft has such good resources, MSN is fighting hard for ICQ in the international market, and even, it will not take long to surpass ICQ, MSN can confidently and boldly enter the Chinese market, and replace QQ. However, according to the arrangement of the headquarters, Tang Jun, as the president of China, had no choice but to act as ordered.

Until now, Zhang Ning's refusal, Tang Jun looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Mr. Bill, Zhang Ning rejected our Microsoft's proposed acquisition."

Tang Jun immediately made a phone call to Microsoft's Bill.

"Oh, why, what did that Zhang Ning say?"

He said that Penguin Technology was created by him, and he was reluctant to sell the company to others.

"Oh, yes."

Bill was silent for a while, and after a moment, said, "Tang Jun, do you Chinese have unique feelings for the company you founded, even if the company is about to end, you are not willing to sell?" ”

"Yes. So, Mr. Bill, I think we can immediately launch a Chinese version of MSN in the domestic market. ”

"No, it still doesn't work. I know that Zhang Ning, his methods are very powerful. I don't want MSN to take too much time to capture the Chinese market. Tang Jun, you go to Penguin Technology again. Let's just say, we don't want to control Penguin Technology. If he doesn't want to sell Penguin Tech, we can just buy 30% of them. ”

"Well, Mr. Bill, there's absolutely no need for us to do that."

Tang Jun was a little speechless, he didn't know why Bill was still worried about that Zhang Ning.

A little Penguin Technology, how can it resist their Microsoft

"Mr. Bill, I'm completely sure of destroying Penguin Tec, you just have to give me two years."

"Two years?"

"No, just a year."

Tang Jun hurriedly subtracted another year.

It's a pity that Bill didn't listen to Tang Jun's advice, but said in a commanding tone, "Manager Tang, I think you should go to Penguin Technology again according to my wishes." Well, go right now. ”
