Sheldon walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the ant-like wriggling vehicles more than 200 meters away, and the winding streets like long snakes, his spirit was in a trance, and he had no reason to have a concept - jump down, one hundred times, no longer have to worry about any competition, no longer have to worry about any performance!

"No, no, no! I can't jump, I still have Millie and Shirley, they need me as a father, I can't leave them alone! ”

Jingle Bell ......

The ringing of the phone brought Sheldon back from his trance, and he pressed his temples, his arms propped up on the glass-edged prisms, and gasped for air.

The phone on the desk kept ringing, and Sheldon didn't look back, he didn't have to answer to know who it was, Bill Gates, or some other major shareholder, and they would only blame him for not doing things well.

And then there are some schadenfreude guys, waiting to see his jokes.

DC3, which is backwards compatible with all kinds of games, is not sooner or later, but it has to be squeezed to be listed with Xbox360, which is a very helpless way for Microsoft to deal with it, and they can't do anything about it.

"Although I lost...... But you can only defeat me, you can never defeat me! Sheldon gritted his teeth and shouted the last words after admitting that he had lost.

This is the famous remark of Hayao Nakayama, the president of Sega, and it is also the principle of life and work that Yang Yun, president of Longteng, has always mentioned to Longteng employees, Sheldon only thinks of this sentence at this time, he will never give up!

"Mr. Richard, I'd better take a look at the reports......," the secretary knocked timidly on the door, and she stood in the doorway with a laptop in her arms. There was a tremor in her voice.

"What's the matter? Come in, remember to stay in for the rest of Bill Gates and a few major shareholders. Filter out all the calls that come to me, I don't want to hear anyone else's calls! Sheldon did his best to adjust his mood. Walked over to the desk and looked at the laptop that the secretary had opened for him, and handed over a paper document with a red label.

Seeing the red label, Sheldon's face sank, and the secretary's face turned pale, which made him cry out in his heart, and the feeling of fear from his heart actually rose from the soles of his feet at this time and rushed to his head.

This is an electronic drawing. The content is shocking, it is automatically generated by the ERP software written by Microsoft itself, and it is actually the number of returns of many Microsoft software franchise stores around the world yesterday and today!

The red label paper document records that after the news release of DC3's backward compatibility with this scarf, the number of Xbox360 returns has shown a straight upward trend, and the Xbox360 sold every day can't catch up with the number of returns!

Xbox360 not only saw a sharp drop in sales, but also a massive wave of returns!

You don't need to read the next qiē news, just this news is like a thunderbolt from the sky. Knock Sheldon heartbroken.

He is so proud, it's a pity that it's all over!

After three years of hardship, he endured the burden, but in the end, he still couldn't compare to the power of a word from others!

Wrong. As soon as it was wrong, Sheldon suddenly realized how similar the situation of Microsoft's game department was to that of Longteng Entertainment eighteen years ago......

It took them seven or eight years to grope their way down the wrong path. Under the condition of the successful experience of predecessors, they will be extremely conceited, trying to use their own strength to confront the entire game industry. What a disparity between ants and elephants!

The enemy is the best teacher, but it's a pity that Sheldon didn't grasp this truth until now. It's a pity it's too late.

He finally understood that Microsoft should not take a big and comprehensive business road, should not think that it has a hard backing, a good background, and strong funds, so it can ignore the biggest competitors, Longteng faced Nintendo's strength back then, and it took eight years to completely defeat Nintendo, Microsoft's pace is too big, and the ambition to conquer Longteng in three years is too slim, that is not self-confidence, that is stupid blind complacency.

Players only buy fun games, game platforms must rely on the cooperation of many game manufacturers to achieve a virtuous circle, only rely on a group of programmers under Microsoft to fight alone and want to counterattack, this is absolutely impossible, unfortunately, too late, too late!

cough cough cough cough ......

Sheldon pressed his mouth, he coughed heavily, coughing uncontrollably, his expression was extremely distorted, his body curled up into a large prawn, after a violent cough, the sky swirled, he slowly fell on the desk, his body limbs were still twitching, his drooping palms and lips were all bright red bloodstains, and the female secretary screamed.

"Help! Come on! ”

……

In this world, the strong will always have the say, and the weak must act according to the face of the strong.

Yang Yun is qualified at this time, he let the mobile phone in his hand vibrate, and the name of Bill Gates on it kept beating, he can answer it if he wants to answer it now, and if he doesn't want to answer it, he can not answer it at all, he is guessing the purpose of Bill Gates' call.

"Dad, your phone is ringing!" Yang Chongsheng is playing a 3D nine-link new somatosensory game, he is wearing special gloves, operating on a special control platform, and his thinking can't stand the disturbance of abnormal noises from the outside world.

Yang Yun leaned on the sofa, watching his son busy there, and finally answered the call patiently, but he still sat on the sofa and didn't get up.

"Hello Yang!" Bill Gates took the initiative to greet in Chinese, with a hint of flattery and flattery in his words.

"Hello Mr. Gates!" Yang Yun replied unsurprised, this call can really be answered or not, it doesn't mean much to him, because he thinks he guessed what Bill Gates is following.

The scene was a little awkward, and Yang Yun's tone made Bill Gates a little uncomfortable.

Bill Gates is definitely not a fatherly open-minded, amiable person, he forced to oppress his employees when he was young, and forced others to listen to his opinions, his favorite mantra is "Your opinion is the stupidest decision I have ever heard", this strong old man became a billionaire in the 90s, when he was the richest man in the world for many years, after hearing Yang Yun's cold answer, there must still be some love.

But Yang Yun doesn't care about these, in this last TV game console war, Microsoft lost, Longteng won, Bill Gates lost the title of the world's richest man a few years ago, the world has changed greatly, the old man abdicates, the new person takes the position, the old and the new replace This is the norm in the world, as the new ruler of the game industry, Yang Yun is fully qualified to accept the worship of others.

"Yang, how many years have we not seen each other since we last joined forces to acquire Sony Games?"

"That was in 1999, right?"

"yes, eight years have passed...... Yang, I have to say, you are the winner in the end, you have the last laugh! ”

Hearing this, Yang Yun was slightly surprised, it is really not an easy thing to make Bill Gates admit defeat.

The old version of the Xbox three-red problem is so strict, nearly one-third of Xbox has three reds, Microsoft has lost billions of dollars, removed a number of executives, frozen and sealed its own game console department for several years, and still refuses to give up the battlefield of the living room, which shows the importance of TV game consoles in Microsoft's mind, because this is an important base related to Microsoft's operating system.

It's really difficult to make them admit that they lost, Bill Gates personally said to Yang Yun to admit defeat, which also means that Bill Gates will really give up the game department, and there will be no more Xbox series in the future, maybe even the identity of the game producer, he will abandon it.

"Mr. Gates, Microsoft is also doing a good job, the Kinect is a very creative gaming device, and the National Games are also a good game for the whole family to entertain together." Yang Yun said this sentence with a smile, Kungfu borrowed from the Kinect device at the beginning of the design, and the Kungfu National Olympics is an upgraded and enhanced version of the Kinect National Games.

It's all this time, how about a compliment? No matter how well the Xbox360 did, it still lost to DC3 in the end, right? Yang Yun smiled very comfortably.

"We've known each other for more than a decade, so it's okay to call me Bill, the name Mr. Gates is too unfamiliar." Bill Gates is still playing the friendship card, and his repeated attitude has made Yang Yun suspicious.

Yang Yun suddenly thought of a question, the corners of his mouth curled, is there still such a possibility?

He stood up and walked to the balcony and asked, "Hey, you're not planning to retire to make way, are you?" This is not the Bill Gates I know, this is not your character. ”

"It's a well-known secret that my retirement schedule is scheduled for next year."

"Okay, then I wish you a happy retirement in advance, and do charity when you have nothing to do, and carry forward your Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation career!"

"I will, you are also a philanthropic person, maybe in the future we will have more common language."

"Of course, we couldn't convince each other when it came to games, but we still had a common topic, and that was how to spend money, and when I bought Sony game assets in Japan eight years ago, I knew you would have this day."

Yang Yun pointed out that how to spend money refers to the fact that both of them are keen on philanthropy.

He has a plan, and a certain part of this plan can also be related to Bill Gates, today's phone call made him feel that the answer was quite valuable, and there was still a gap between what he expected Bill Gates to simply beg for mercy and plead, and he couldn't help but smile.

I didn't expect his relationship with Bill Gates to become such a special state, it's really unpredictable! (To be continued......)
