Chapter 876: Will Microsoft's Stock Price Also Plummet?
"Good night to all......"
Bill Gates saw Yang Yun's figure in the TV video retreating to the backstage, he put down the remote control in his hand, supported his arms on his legs, he was in a trance, holding his face with both hands and rubbing it, this is his usual way to decompress, as much as possible to relax his facial muscles, but also give him time to think.
Behind him stood several Microsoft executives, Robbie Bach, senior vice president of the gaming division, Garnett, chief member of the think tank, and several game architects and engineers, who were trying out DC2 in the next room.
"Let Jem come here."
After Bill Gates and other architects and engineers came over, they asked with a gloomy face, "What do you guys think?" β
Architect Jem replied: "The overall design of the DC2 game console is very smart, the shape, the way the game operates, the wireless Bluetooth sensor, I have to say that the designers of Longteng are very creative, they are ......"
"FVCK-YOU CEM, WHO LETS SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT THEM? I don't want to hear this shit compliment! The operating system is not Microsoft's, all the parts are produced by themselves, and they can sell it for $399, the same as our XBox! I'm asking if the second-generation XBox you're working on can beat them! Son of a bitch's Android! Shit-like OS! Who FVCK cares about their wireless handles! β
I have never heard Bill Gates swear in public, and today he scolded a subordinate in the hotel, this kind of anger made Robbie and Garnett panic, and no one dared to dissuade Bill Gates, who was scolding. One by one, he gave the reprimanded Jem a look.
"Mr. President, the second generation XBox definitely surpasses DC2 in terms of performance. But if we still keep the traditional form of video game console, we will definitely be criticized by others. So we need to change ...... too" Jem explained with a sad face, he didn't dare to pack the ticket, and he didn't dare to say what Bill Gates didn't want to hear, he was very aggrieved in the middle!
"Change! Change! Change! There is only one company in the world that is innovating! We at Microsoft are the most innovative IT companies in the world! I invest tens of billions of dollars in R&D every year, can't so many of you think of a model like DC2? OS-XοΌ the OS-X! the apple closed system! β
Bill Gates pointed at Jem's head and scolded, almost slapped his face and kicked him in the stomach, Robbie, who was standing on the side, knew that he had to come forward, and he said in a deep voice: "Bill, calm down!" We shouldn't be led by the nose by the other. We're going to talk about tactics. We still need to wait for market feedback on whether this new game mode will be welcomed by players, and the second generation of Xbox is not something that can be developed in a day or two, so please calm down, anger will not solve anything. β
Garnett also hurriedly persuaded: "Anger will only blind our eyes!" Don't lose your temper, you'll lose your judgment! β
Finally calmed down, there was only gasping in the room, no one spoke, everyone looked at the DC2 host flashing blue light, it was really helpless.
The most technical core of this set of gaming equipment is the 81 sophisticated wireless Bluetooth sensors. The motherboard converts the controller signals captured by the sensor into digital signals, which are parsed by the CPU, and then the game program calculates these numbers, and finally produces the effect of synchronous movement.
Go without saying. This must be a patented product of Longteng Entertainment Game Company, and anyone who wants to imitate it will be sued for bankruptcy. It's also impossible for Microsoft to bypass it.
If so, they have to find another way. Bluetooth communication is not only used by Longteng, as long as it is a company that develops mobile signals. They can even use cameras to capture human movements, anything is possible!
"Then let's talk about how much negative impact the listing of DC2 will have on our Microsoft!"
Everyone has already guessed that Microsoft's stock will definitely fall tomorrow, as for what Cheng dΓΉ will fall, no one knows, as long as I think of Sony plummeting 24.6% this morning until the suspension, everyone is behind a chill, feeling cold, they dare not imagine the scene of Microsoft's fall, no one is sure, Microsoft will follow in Sony's footsteps?
β¦β¦
Far away on the other side of the world, in Japan, it is daylight, the Nikkei index is falling in an uproar, the US stock market is dragging them down, and the tragic accident of frantically selling the shares of IT high-tech companies is taking place throughout Japan.
There is only one biggest negative on the whole news disk, that is, Sony's 2002 fiscal year report, but it is such a report, so that the fragile stock market in Tokyo, Japan is like encountering ice and snow cold weather, and the vast majority of the entire disk is falling! Fall! Fall! Japanese stockholders who hold shares of high-tech companies are stunned and want to cry without tears!
The news of the suicide of Sony executives by jumping off a building has come, and people have become numb to this qiΔ, and there are countless corporate executives who commit suicide by jumping off a building, breaking their stomachs, and committing suicide by taking poison every year, and they are no longer surprised.
The Japanese are under tremendous pressure, they are more than 100 million people crammed into a small island, the second most dense population in the world, second only to Bangladesh, but higher than India, the Philippines, Vietnam, and many other small countries in Europe, they are forced to survive, struggle in fierce competition, unique Japanese culture, the number of suicides is tens of thousands of people every year.
What is a corporate executive jumping off a building? What is Sony's huge loss? How to turn the stocks in your hands from waste paper into money, this is the most important thing!
When the Tokyo Stock Exchange closed, another piece of news reached the ears of major Japanese securities companies and shareholders - China's Longteng Entertainment & Game Company released DC2, which uses the OS-X operating system, not Android!
This news was interpreted by Japanese securities analysts and senior experts in the Japanese game industry, and the whole country was in a pessimistic atmosphere, wailing all over the country, everyone was sure that tomorrow's Nikkei index will plummet again, and the leader of the decline is either Sony or Sharp.
The first to bear the brunt was Sharp, and when the person in charge of this company heard the news of DC2, his first reaction was that this could not be April Fool's news, right?
But they soon saw the video of Longteng's press conference, which is indeed April Fool's Day news, but the content of the news is not stupid, DC2 uses the OS-X operating system in the same vein as Apple, completely abandoning Microsoft WindowsCE, and also abandoning the Android operating system, which makes them embarrassed to just buy 50% of Ericsson's shares from Longteng for $2.2 billion?
"Why? Why aren't they Android? There was a roar in the president's office.
No one can answer this question, this is Longteng's strategic plan, and it has nothing to do with Sharp.
The call also went to the headquarters of Longteng, and the secretary did not tell him on the grounds that the president was abroad, and entrusted a lot of relationships to get Zhao Yongping's phone, but Zhao Yongping responded: "It's okay, our partnership with SharpEricsson remains unchanged, Longteng will still develop Android games with independent intellectual property rights, and will not restrict other game manufacturers from developing Android games, you can rest assured, there is also a LongGamePhone is the Android operating system used, We will not give up this brand, which is not responsible for our millions of LongGamePhone users. β
DC2 is a TV game console, using OS-X, LongGamePhone is a smartphone, using Android, Longteng's strategic intention is obvious, they say that it is two do not interfere, and do it together at the same time.
Sharp was dumbfounded, Long Teng did not have any breach of contract, the contract continued, the business continued, everyone was still cooperating, but Long Teng had an extra hand and did something else.
"Bastard! They are referees and athletes! The authorities, who finally woke up from the whole incident, were angry to find that Long Teng played a few tricks lightly, turned several of their Japanese companies around, and easily exited with the hard-earned money of the Japanese, and played a beautiful turn and back-to-back shooting.
Sony's side is both happy and painful, and the happy thing is that they fortunately did not snatch Ericsson shares from Sharp, and if the $1.8 billion is thrown in, I am afraid they will die faster.
Painfully, this matter did them no good at all, they became the laughing stock of the world, their stupid president Nobuyuki Idei abandoned the Sony game division, and as a result, after Hayao Nakayama took over, he made the PS2 a Japanese national brand, becoming the only hope for the rise of the Japanese game industry, and Hayakuo Nakayama became a symbol of the indomitable Japanese spirit.
"How stupid are the presidents of Sony! They actually gave up the only hope for the rise of the Japanese game industry, PS2! PS2 using Android operating system is definitely not Longteng's gang, otherwise DC2 must be Android operating system, and it will definitely annex NewSonic after opening up DC2 and PS2 Android game platforms! Their only chance to become national heroes was also ruined by the stupid president of Sony! β
"The stupid Japanese actually listened to rumors and suppressed the national hero, the great warrior Hayao Nakayama, into a traitor, and there are even people who question the pure blood of the Yamato nation in PS2!"
"The parade/march that just ended last week should be necessary to hold it again! We have to force the Japanese cabinet to fully support PS2, and now it is the moment of three worlds, PS2 Android, Microsoft's Windows, and Longteng's OS-X, this is the only chance for the rise of the Japanese game industry! β
The Japanese media exploded again, and almost one-sidedly began to support Japanese domestic games, and NewSonic once again became the hope of the Yamato nation! (To be continued......)
