"Longteng and Lenovo have joined forces to enter the Android smartphone industry, and Lawrence, head of the mobile operating system department, is definitely going to cry. I can imagine how many people will call me tomorrow to ask me, and how many R&D personnel at Microsoft will resign and leave because they can't bear the pressure, I can predict that scene, I've seen too many over the years, Yang Yun is really a nasty guy! ”

"I think if you want to beat Longteng, you might have had a chance 10 years ago, and the best chance was 20 years ago. If we knew that Long Teng would become the demon he is now, he would definitely not let them grow up. ”

"Yes, when the world's game providers are standing behind Longteng, no matter how powerful Microsoft is, it may not be able to recover, and we have been fighting alone! It's a pity that I've endured the Xbox 360 for three years, and I'm really unwilling to let it fall silent, can't it even show its face? ”

"Mr. Gates, the new version of Arcade Xbox360 is the pinnacle of our Microsoft engineers, I believe that Xbox360 will definitely be able to defeat DC2, it is absolutely impossible to not even show faces, we definitely have a fight!"

Bill Gates and Shelton, senior vice president of the gaming division, were watching CCTV, but as they chatted, the two began to sigh and sigh, and they were helpless.

Even though Sheldon swore that the Xbox 360 could defeat DC2, it could be vaguely heard from his tone that he didn't have much confidence, even Bill Gates didn't have much confidence.

After the big trouble of Xbox 360 that year, Microsoft cold-handled its own game development department, but it did not completely ban it. Instead, it is to streamline and lay off the elite of the R&D department. Absorb the remnants of some once glorious game companies such as Nishikito, EA, Ubisoft, etc., and upgrade the system of Xbox360 and the production of supporting games. It lasted for three years.

The biggest feature of the R&D center's Xbox360 is the Microsoft Live Store, which contains a large number of Microsoft's virtual software or reality services, as well as Microsoft's realization of the importance in the past two years, and the rapid development of somatosensory game design Kinect, which is also the supporting service that Bill Gates and Robbie are most confident in competing with the Dragon Kungfu component.

If Yang Yun came to visit the Microsoft R&D center at this time, he would definitely be surprised by the current situation, because under the persecution of Longteng, Microsoft has taken a strange route completely different from the real history, and the Kinect technology has been realized by Microsoft. At the end of 2007, the Microsoft Kinect device was already in shape, two years ahead of the real history!

"Mr. Gates, I've been paid $1 for three years since I took Robbie's place, and I don't want to go on like this. Seriously, I feel very aggrieved to lose to Longteng, in terms of assets and personnel, we Microsoft are actually not worse than Longteng, but Longteng is improving every year. Every year they are growing, and their advantages are just too great. I feel a pang of sadness whenever I think that our programmers are competing with their peers in the whole world......"

Sheldon propped his head and rubbed his face vigorously. The eyes on his face were sunken, which showed how much pressure this new senior vice president of Microsoft's gaming division has borne over the years, hundreds of millions of dollars a year in research and development. The R&D progress slowed year by year, and Sheldon was jokingly called a "big sperm sucker" by other vice presidents - absorbing his own own rather than his customers.

Bill Gates groaned for a long time. He pressed the remote control, and the news report on the TV flashed and closed. He threw it casually, and the remote slid around the coffee table, falling down, and disappeared into the corner of the carpet.

He stood up, walked to the wine cabinet next to him, and went straight to a bottle of vodka, and in turn two empty glasses were poured down, and one poured half a glass, he weighed it for a few seconds, and then said.

"In a sense, let our side business compete with Longteng's main business, and even if we fail, we won't be ashamed. But in fact, on the contrary, Microsoft was too embarrassed to lose to Longteng in the game industry, because we barely hit a good shot, not even a straight putt from 3 meters away. ”

Bill Gates's words are pointed, Sheldon's face is flushed, the linear putter 3 meters away is the basic skill, Xbox360 can obviously do very well, but unfortunately he messed up and lost to his own Sanhong, although he was not in charge of this before, but he still felt a little ashamed.

"I'm sorry, I promise that there will never be another three-red problem. Compared with the earliest version of Xbox360, now the three-red problem has been completely solved, and we use a new 65nm CPU, 175W power supply, lower power, and better heat dissipation. In addition, we are also developing a high-performance and low-power version of dual 65nm 150W, which can be mass-produced next year, which can completely avoid more than 99.999% of the three-red problem. Sheldon couldn't wait to explain.

"But is it still just avoided, or can't it be completely eliminated? Forget it, I'm not going to pursue this issue anymore, even DC2 can't guarantee 100% health, if we can guarantee 99.999% it would be enough. But Sheldon, it's not the three reds that annoy me the most, it's something else! ”

Bill Gates handed the wine glass to Sheldon, took a sip of his own, and continued: "I heard Yang Yun say that there is nothing special about Longteng, and his success is all because his competitors are stupid. You know, the first time I heard this sentence, I had the strange idea of 'he is my soulmate', which is ridiculous! ”

Sheldon was speechless for a while, this sentence Bill Gates said several times in several high-level meetings of Microsoft's board of directors, and their other directors listened to it as a joke, because Microsoft is the same, Microsoft defeated SUN, defeated IBM, defeated Oracle, defeated countless opponents, Microsoft's road to success also flowed with the blood of competitors, and they also stepped on the corpses of countless people to achieve success.

But now Microsoft has become a "fool" in Yang Yun's mouth, which is really a great irony!

"I don't want to be so quiet any longer, Sheldon, I've decided. I want to make Xbox 360 Microsoft's most powerful counterattack, and I want the world to see Microsoft's belief in never giving up in the game industry! I swear that if Xbox 360 isn't competitive, I'll retire and donate all my assets to the Bill & Melinda Gates Charitable Foundation! ”

Bill Gates drank the wine in his glass, his eyes flashing with the rage of battle, and Microsoft was cornered.

"Good!" Sheldon also drank it all, stared at the red eyes, and said viciously: "With a salary of $1 for 3 years, I am waiting for this day with humiliation!" Microsoft's humiliation on the TV game console, this time we must completely wash away and regain the honor that belongs to us! ”

On November 2, 2007, when Longteng was in high spirits and was developing the IT industry related to games in an all-round way, Microsoft held the most formal, largest, and most invested game conference in history - they did a soft advertising interview program on the Aura talk show, which was broadcast on TV at the same time, and Microsoft headquarters was also holding a global live TV broadcast, just like the Windows XP system was launched that year.

"After three years, Xbox360 has made a comeback, with a new revised design, replacing the old 90nm CPU with a 65nm CPU produced by IBM, with higher performance and lower heat dissipation, which can completely eliminate the problem of three reds. Microsoft promises that any Arcade version of the Xbox 360 as long as it finds the three red phenomenon, free replacement of the latest brand new machine! ”

"The new Arcade facelift also uses 256M memory, 80G standard hard disk, comes with A/V standard cable, supports HDMI high-definition number jù cable, original wireless 360 controller, supports Microsoft Live store service, games, music, video chat, shopping one-stop service, enjoy lifetime silver card membership service, and three-month gold card trial service, service can be upgraded."

"The console continues all the classic games of the old Xbox 360, including Microsoft's exclusive "Flight Simulator 10", "Microsoft Speed 2008", "Desert Island Survival 3", "NBALive2008", "FIFA2008", "Dragons & Warriors 2", "Raid 4" and other masterpieces. In addition, it is equipped with Kinect somatosensory devices, including Microsoft's new somatosensory games developed and produced by Zuò - "National Sports Conference", "Dancing Life", "Dieter" and other masterpieces suitable for family entertainment! ”

These news appeared on Microsoft's official homepage, and many people in the North American game industry received invitations, and even Jiang Shaoyun got a handwritten invitation letter from Bill Gates himself, of course, he would not go in person, but sent a vice president.

Although the console game does not have DC2's exclusive masterpieces like "Halo 3", "Metal Gear Solid 3" and "Call of Duty 4", the playability of several Microsoft's own guns and balls is still relatively high, after all, they have absorbed a lot of well-known design teams in Europe and the United States, and they are still quite powerful.

"That's bad news! Absolutely bad news! After Jiang Shaoyun received the report, his first thought was to report to Yang Yun, but he held down the phone again, and pondered, he wanted to organize the language to see how to say it.

At this time, Yang Yun was drinking tea at Zhu Shuguang's house, and the quiet and comfortable courtyard of the Zhu family was full of birds and flowers, and there was a peaceful atmosphere. (To be continued......)
