Chapter 1385: Microsoft fixed (subscription)

"I even want to use the multi-language version of Yinshan Software's office software, which is almost no less than ours, and the price in each region is half of ours. In this case, what do you think should be done?" Bill? Gates asked quietly.
"Let you think about Yinshan Software Company, it seems that Feng is a shareholder? We should talk to Feng to avoid such vicious competition. Everyone will unite and improve the market, and at the same time divide the market and benign competition, which will ensure the maximum benefit. Ah," said one director.
Paul Allen waved his hand: "If it's so simple, what kind of board is needed? The day before, Feng came, but I don't agree with our cooperation. The results started yesterday for our market competition. Let us not be prepared at all."
When I said this, Paul Allen also felt a little hot. When Feng Yu left the day before, he warned them and would immediately compete with them for the market. But they began to think that it was only the Chinese market.
Although the Chinese market is large, but the profit is the lowest, so they did not pay much attention. As a result, it was possible to make some precautions in time, but they were ignored by themselves.
The director opened his mouth and did not speak any more. Yes, Feng has been taken out of Microsoft, and now he is the richest man in the world. It is normal to be proud.
Coupled with the fact that Feng is so young, young is not easy to compromise and easy to impulsive. For the sake of face, it is normal to burn money and fight.
In his view, young people are not like this, the world's richest man can not be excused.
Ballmer frowned and asked: "While Feng wants to compete with us, then we will compete well. Is it because of the size of our funds, will we be afraid that even if we want Yinshan Software Company?"
"Steve, do you know what you are talking about? Money, this is money. Half the price, how much will our profits be reduced? And once we do, it represents our stock price. Will fall, investors will have no confidence in us!" Paul Allen snarled.
"So, is there any good way for Mr. Allen? Or can you convince you to think about Yinshan and raise the price? Or you can let us double the price when the quality of the product is not as good as the other party. Can I still sell well? I need to remind you that our office software development department is now responsible for you!"
"What do you mean? Is that the R&D department I led has dragged my feet? When I took over, the ps had already surpassed us in some functions!"
Paul Allen was furious, and Ballmer was accusing him of unwarranted, thinking that the president and eo of Microsoft would be very powerful? In that year, he should not be given shares, let him enter the board!
"Since you took over, ps has already surpassed us. Then why have you taken over for so long, the gap has not been narrowed down, but has been widened? I don't know what I am talking about, you don't know? Is it time to pay attention to the immediate price? Now it is more important to pay attention to how to retain users and ensure our market share."

Our office software is now the most used in the world, and all other office software is compared with ours to make an evaluation. The advantage is that we have become the industry standard. Their other software companies, Look at our faces."

Now? There is a product that leads our products in several functions, and none of them is weaker than us. What does this mean? It represents an upgrade of the industry standard, and it is not us who have developed this upgrade standard. This is the office software development department you led, this is what you have done in the past few years!"
"You have your own company, but you have to have various powers at Microsoft. Are you really responsible? You are more focused on your own company. Now Microsoft has this situation, you have to bear Great responsibility!"
Ballmer’s remarks shocked other directors. This is to open the face and ask Paul Allen to give up the power.
Ballmer is already president and eo. What else does he want to do? Also, Ballmer, the executive leader, but did not command Paul's management department, and the two people have deep grievances. This situation is not too unexpected.
It’s just that they are surprised. This time, why didn’t Bill interrupt Ballmer’s words? Did Ballmer’s words get the acquiescence of Bill?
Paul Allen also found the problem. This time, no one supported him, and everyone looked at his eyes and seemed to be full of complaints and criticism, including Bill Gates.
However, Paul Allen absolutely does not want to hand over the power. The easiest way to do this now is to open up the topic, or to draw attention from others.
"Well, then according to what you said, what should I do now? Half the price cut, we will be able to grab the market back? You cut the price, will the other party not cut the price? Look at the price in the Chinese market, you know that even the silver How low is the cost of Mountain Software."

No, at least in the English market, we have an advantage. Although their engineers in China are cheaper, the engineers’ native language is Chinese. The other language versions they publish are in cooperation with some companies. That means they want to give the other party, which increases their cost."
"We are different. We have our own branches in many countries and have recruited many employees. Many of our versions are translated by ourselves. The cost in this area is lower. The Chinese market may not be our opponent. But in other countries, we still have great advantages."
Ballmer has not finished, a director suddenly said: "Who said that in the Chinese market, we will lose?"
Everyone looks at this director. The situation is so clear. Is there any other turning point?
"If we no longer protect piracy, we no longer need an activation code. What do you say will happen?"
Everyone was shocked. In this case, piracy is rampant, so that there is no market for genuine copies. Wait a minute, what he means is to use piracy to seize the market, just as they did it?
But is this a way to harm others?
"We can not update this version. Three years later, we will introduce a new version. Now this method is to let even Yinshan have no profit and let them lose money. They need to invest in this software, not a small amount. If you can't sell it, the blow to them must be great."
"And we Microsoft, a loss of two or three billion a year, is nothing at all, as long as the market is still in our hands, then the future will be a steady stream of profits!"
