Chapter 1537: I'm Richer Than You
"Hehe, who made a big deal about this first?" Boss Jia sneered and said, "The competition between the two software is originally to win users based on their own ability, but Mr. Gates does it directly from the system, doesn't this want to make a big deal out of it?" ”
"That's just a normal system update!" Bill Gates Road.
"Yes, we are all the same people, there is no need to say this kind of thing, we all know what everyone thinks in their hearts!" Boss Jia smiled, and Bill Gates stopped talking.
"How do you want to solve this matter?" Jia Yapeng asked.
"Let's both take a step back!" Bill Gates said, "I withdrew the complaint against Ali in the court, and Ali also withdrew the complaint, and at the same time publicly stated in all the media that the previous article was wrong, and now we have fully communicated with each other, Microsoft did not deliberately target QQ, and the two sides will give up!" ”
"Is this called taking a step back?" Boss Jia couldn't help but smile, "Your company's update patch, won't you delete it?" Also, doesn't your company need to make a statement in the global media that your patches will undoubtedly have an impact on QQ's operations? ”
"As I said, our patch is not for QQ!"
"But your patch has really affected the normal operation of our QQ!"
Bill Gates and Jia Yapeng each said a word, it is obvious that our Boss Jia is more reasonable, after all, Microsoft started the matter first.
"Mr. Jia, don't go too far, I took the initiative to call you today, which already represents the greatest sincerity of our Microsoft. You're the first person ever to make me call and even take the initiative to take a step back! Bill Gates' words seem to be very face-saving to Boss Jia.
In fact, in another world, Bill Gates would feel honored to say such things to any entrepreneur in China.
But after Boss Jia heard it, the hairs on his body exploded.
"Mr. Bill Gates, I'm afraid you're not qualified to say such things to me!" Boss Jia sneered and said, "On the contrary, I am willing to answer your call today, which is your greatest honor!" ”
Bill Gates on the other end of the "......" phone was speechless for a while, and the whites of his eyes were about to roll out.
"We are Microsoft! It's Windows, a must-have platform for all software! The system is the trunk of the tree, the program is just a branch and leaf, without the Windows system, your QQ does not even have the meaning of existence! Bill Gates said strongly.
There seems to be no sound on the other end of the "......" phone, which makes Bill Gates a lot happier, and it seems that this Chinese man finally has a little self-knowledge.
But what I didn't expect was that in the next second, a voice said faintly, "But, I'm richer than you!" ”
"My Microsoft, the market capitalization is $250 billion! Your 51 searches and Amazon, combined, are less than $150 billion," Bill Gates laughed angrily.
"But Microsoft you only have 20.32% of the shares left, but 51 Search and Amazon, I have 40% of the shares. By the way, I also have Daqian Group, the kind that is 100% controlled! ”
"......" Bill Gates was completely silent.
"Don't say these meaningless things!" Bill Gates's voice sounded again, and it sounded like he should have regained his composure: "My opinion, I hope Mr. Jia will consider it well." This is the first time I have called you, and the last time I will call you, if you don't accept the conditions, then we at Microsoft will be happy to ...... with you."
"Smack!" Boss Jia snapped and hung up the phone directly, too lazy to listen to this guy's nonsense.
Boss Jia originally had a little fantasy about Bill Gates, thinking that he, the idol he admired as a child and the richest man in the world for more than ten consecutive years, should be a person full of connotation and wisdom.
Now it seems that he is no different from an ordinary child, and his personality is still a little weird, he is in his 30s, and he is still a child, who is richer compared with others on the phone, he is simply a child!
This is also normal, if it is not a guy with an eccentric personality, how can he drop out of Harvard University in advance?
However, as Boss Jia's phone hung up, the battle between Daqian and Microsoft had to be fought until one party couldn't bear it and admitted defeat.
As for this war, Boss Jia is very calm, and even a little eager to try.
Because no matter whether this war is won or lost, Boss Jia will not lose.
Winning against Microsoft is naturally a thousand good.
If you lose, it doesn't matter, it's just a QQ anyway, and for the current Daqian, it's just some skin. Anyway, the future of social networking will sooner or later belong to the era of mobile communication, Facebook, Twitter, and WeChat to find out.
Well, although these companies have not been established, the brands have been applied for by Daqian, and they are sub-brands of Daqian.
For Microsoft, this is a battle that must not be lost, because Boss Jia has grasped Microsoft's dead end, that is, the anti-monopoly investigation.
Why did Bill Gates condescend and take the initiative to call Boss Jia and ask for a truce?
The reason is very simple, because now Microsoft is afraid of the anti-monopoly investigation, after all, once the anti-monopoly investigation is established, then Microsoft will be forced to split into several companies, and his Bill Gates hard work will be completely dissolved.
However, the antitrust authorities in the United States have long been eyeing Microsoft and want to punish Microsoft, and Bill Gates has actually been using various connections and forces to delay this investigation.
Historically, Bill Gates would have delayed until 2004 before the investigation was officially launched. But this time, he suddenly jumped out and directly filed an anti-monopoly investigation with the court in the United States, which made Bill Gates very nervous.
After all, it was a ball of dry firewood that could ignite at any time if any sparks came out.
This is the reason why Bill Gates put aside his arrogance and took the initiative to call Boss Jia and ask for a truce. It's a pity that this arrogant abandonment was not completely enough, so that the two sides directly collapsed.
The next thing is that, as Bill Gates said, the two sides can only fight bigger, and only then can they end when one side can't fight anymore.
"You have to go all out and knock out QQ directly, so that Daqian knows that it hurts, and he will know what it means to lose more than you lose!" Bill Gates pondered for a moment, and immediately convened a board meeting to announce his idea.
At this time, Microsoft's board of directors was very angry at the boldness, and at the same time, they were also shocked by Microsoft's achievements in growing into the world's No. 1 computer company in five years, so there was no obstacle to Bill Gates's original plan, and it was collectively approved at the first time.
On October 22, 1998, Microsoft officially announced that after careful screening, they found that QQ's program contained a large number of Trojan viruses, and at the same time posed a serious threat to the security system of the Windows system.
Therefore, the Windows system will officially ban QQ, and all computers with the windows system installed will not be able to open QQ.
