Chapter 109: Influence Spread
Nadella said.
Suddenly, the technical engineer nodded and said no more.
Microsoft originally did this, and everyone on the earth knows that the company's Windows operating system business has almost monopolized the consumer market of personal computers, and I am afraid that no one knows the operating system better than Microsoft.
At this moment, the management of this house was instantly solemn, the video on the big screen, ordinary people's attention was on the virtual idol and the shocking picture of the entire concert, but they were repeatedly analyzing and studying the opening scene of less than a minute.
Because only this image hides the most explosive information, the results of the analysis now all say one thing: Holographic-Operating-System
A virtual concert gave a glimpse into the future of the PC, for the Microsoft executives present.
The impact of the tablet didn't kill the PC, but it did make the PC sick, and the birth of the smartphone made the PC even sicker, and although the situation has changed for others, the PC still doesn't die, some people still need a real keyboard to get the job done, and Microsoft's Windows is still the most popular personal PC operating system.
But as soon as the holographic computer comes out, the PC has no way to live at all, so the Windows operating system will inevitably die.
However, for today's Microsoft company, they feel fortunate that Microsoft's famous Windows business now accounts for less than 7% of its total revenue, and since the rise of the mobile Internet, the shrinkage of the PC business and the shrinkage of the Windows business are inevitable.
I have to admit that Windows is becoming less and less important to Microsoft today, and what supports Microsoft's current appreciation of more than $800 billion is definitely not the two-year reduction of the Windows business.
So the Windows business should be the second largest in Microsoft, right? However, the truth is that the number of Xbox sold by Microsoft is more than the average person knows.
Well, the Windows business is number three? The answer is also wrong, and the third place is the Office software business.
In fact, Windows is only in fourth place, and it now accounts for only 7% of Microsoft's revenue, just over 7% to be exact.
In the future, I will probably play the role of "if you don't make money, you just make friends".
In fact, Microsoft Technology is no longer a desktop company, and is beginning to become a cloud computing and service company.
If it only impacts the Windows business, Microsoft's management will not be so dignified, but will the emergence of the holographic operating system impact Microsoft's game business? And the Office software business?
If the three major businesses are affected by holographic technology in the future, it is equivalent to being cut off, and for Microsoft, even if it will not be damaged, it will have to peel off its skin.
Fortunately, Microsoft has completed the transformation, and today's Azure cloud computing business, which was the Windows business of the year, should now be called a computing and services company.
But this is an absolute nightmare for suppliers whose core business is display screens, such as Samsung, LG, and BOE.
At this point in time, not only Microsoft is paying attention to this virtual concert, but in fact, after the news came out, the global technology circle is paying close attention.
After a concert, on the surface, the media are talking about the visual effects brought by holographic technology, but behind the scenes, a group of bigwigs can't sleep, and various emergency meetings are held.
It's not just Microsoft that's in a meeting to study, it's also other big companies now, and if you don't even have this insight, it's not a big company.
…
After the U.S. stock market opened, Microsoft's stock fell 3.4% that day, and for a listed company with a volume of $884.2 billion, the market value of more than $30 billion evaporated.
After the news spread to China, some media in the technology circle began to exaggerate reports, such as the headline of a self-media: "Just now, Microsoft's market value plummeted by 200 billion, just because of the concert in Shangdu"
Proper title party, this title has a very eyeball effect, first of all, the currency unit is blurred, for melon-eating netizens, seeing this 200 billion must be subconsciously thinking that it is the dollar, this is still it?
So I clicked in and took a look, and I instantly felt cheated, Nima only fell by $30 billion, and Microsoft's market value was almost $800 billion or $900 billion, and I almost thought it had plummeted by $200 billion.
$30 billion has actually plummeted, but for melon-eating netizens, it's an astronomical amount anyway, who made Microsoft so big.
Fortunately, Microsoft is now embracing cloud computing and cloud services, and two years ago it was officially announced that its mobile phone operating system Windows-10-Mobile business had entered the maintenance period, which was actually a death sentence, and the PC business of Windows did not expect to be able to take the lead in Microsoft in the future, and it was over until the end of its life, but Microsoft did not expect that this day seemed to be faster than expected.
Microsoft is as stable as an old dog, not panicking. However, other companies that provide electronic product display business are panicking, and these related companies are all down across the board at the opening of today's stock, falling by more than 5%.
As soon as there is any wind and grass in the market, it will be fed back to Wall Street at the most sensitive and fastest speed, and in a sense, it is also a weather vane reference for future trends.
Some people are sad and some are happy, and when a group of bigwigs in the technology circle can't sleep, another wave of people said they were very excited.
When Shangdu's virtual concert was held, the news spread quickly, which was very exciting for Live-Nation, the world's largest concert production company.
In the industry, Live-Nation is undoubtedly one of the leaders, and has achieved a series of successes, including Madonna, U2, Wang Fei, Jay-Z, Lady-Gaga and a series of big-name singers' concerts are planned and produced by the company, which is world-famous in concert production and planning.
Live-Nation is so excited, naturally it is to see the holographic technology auxiliary equipment of the Shangdu concert, and the introduction of such hardware supporting facilities is more and more important for the future concert site, improve the quality and expand the market.
At the same time, Live-Nation is also very anxious, thinking of the future trend of its own family, and so are its peers.
As a result, many concert companies have begun to consult the coastline about the sale of holographic technology supporting facilities.
A concert aroused heated discussions on the whole network on the second day, and many key words such as "Shangdu Virtual Concert", "Holographic Concert", "Giant Floating Screen", "Hatsune Miku Concert" and many other key words were on the hot search.
After the first concert, it quickly triggered a "chemical reaction" and detonated the Internet topic.
