Chapter 760: Arrogant qualification

"Crazy!" Paul Allen patted the table hard.
Although he left Microsoft's board of directors, he also served as a senior consultant. He will participate in Microsoft's important decisions. After all, he is one of the major shareholders and he must also ensure his own interests.
He was not in a good mood this year. The investment basketball team is getting worse and worse, losing money, and the value of the team has fallen. The invested football team finally entered the Super Bowl this year, but unfortunately returned without success.
A girlfriend who talked last year also broke up. Some of the companies that have invested have also been on a downhill for the past two years, which makes him very upset.
In fact, Paul Allen attaches great importance to technology, and even thinks that a company's technology is more important than management, so he doesn't quite like Ballmer, thinking that this guy's technology is not good.
Even as the founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen has never been a friend of Ballmer.
When I was called today, I thought there was something good. The result was such bad news. What Ballmer did was actually returned by a young man.
"Paul, don't be too angry." Bill Gates persuaded, "We should think about why he dare to mention this condition."
"It is undeniable that Zhiduoxing Group is a company that has soared momentum in recent years, and this company's sales and profits have increased year after year, and they are all led by this chapter."
"He is so successful at this age, and it is normal to be proud. You say he is arrogant, but he has arrogant capital. In the rankings published by Forbes magazine, you also see that his assets are good, and his cash reserves are sufficient. It's also in an upward phase."
"Such a person should be the one you admire the most. I think you can be friends."
Paul Allen sneered, he wouldn't make friends with a child.
"But we are Microsoft, the world's number one software company, and the world's top company. We take the initiative to request cooperation, and we are even willing to share the equity with the other party and give it to the other party for management. Does he still have a controlling stake?"
"Bill, when did Microsoft become like this? He is proud, but is it your pride?"
Bill Gates was actually not happy, but he couldn't solve the problem. Moreover, Microsoft's mobile phone operating system has not been profitable, and the development cost remains high, but there are not many manufacturers used, and the word of mouth is also average, not even as good as the BlackBerry.
He also wants Microsoft's mobile phone operating system to achieve the status of c operating system, or the status of server operating system, but these two years has not improved.
"Paul, did you know that our mobile phone operating system is going downhill? Our instant messaging software is also going downhill, all this because of Zhiduoxing."
"On the North American side, icq was defeated by us, but there is an additional chat software called the little yellow man. The promotion is very smooth among young people, and it is eating away our market share."
"This company belongs to Huaxia, and Zhiduoxing is the majority shareholder of that company."
"The mobile operating system of Zhiduoxing has made a mobile phone alliance and made some source code public, so that more hardware manufacturers can make some changes in their own characteristics on their platforms, thus attracting many hardware manufacturers."
"They have also developed some mobile application software, which is also very popular, and has caused Zhiduoxing's smartphone sales to rise. And as far as I know, Saipan also invited Zhiduoxing to buy shares, but was rejected by Zhiduoxing. "
"They have developed the system themselves, and they have attracted a larger camp. Instead, our camp is shrinking. Even our major customers have joined the Zhiduoxing mobile phone alliance and will launch the first one this year. A smart phone of the Zhiduoxing system."
"Motorola may not want to continue to support our mobile operating system because of the contract with Saipan. We are fighting to let Lee give Motorola."
"Once the situation gets worse, then in the smartphone market, we can call a cooperating brand with only one Dopod. Do you know what this means?"
Why actively seek out Zhiduoxing cooperation, because their market share in the smartphone system is gradually declining. It is easier to succeed with Zhiduoxing.
In fact, they also contacted BlackBerry, but they were directly rejected by the other party, not even mentioning the conditions. They also contacted Saipan, but they refused.
It happens that Zhiduoxing's system and Microsoft's mobile phone operating system are at a disadvantage, and the two should be easier. Even Ballmer took the initiative to interview Zhang Yang, and the results disappointed them.
"Bill, even so, are our engineers inferior to Zhiduoxing? Our American engineers are inferior to Huaxia's engineers?"
"The development of Zhiduoxing's system has definitely been loss-making until now. Can they afford it? Can we afford it? I remember when I invested in Sega Bandai, I also opposed it, but you said that you will not lose money for three years. In fact We have indeed turned losses into profits, and Sega Bandai’s stock price has started to rise, and the initial investment was not a loss."
"How come you have reached the smartphone operating system now, are you in a hurry? Not to mention three years, even if it is a loss of five years? What we did as the c operating system was very successful, but that is because we The system is best used. Instead of working with Zhiduoxing, we might as well think of ways to upgrade our system."
"As long as our system is the best, do you still worry about those mobile phone manufacturers not taking the initiative to come to the door? At the end of last year, the smartphone market began to grow rapidly, especially high-end smartphones, and this year's growth is even stronger."
"When the industry is booming~EbookFREE.me~We don't have the confidence to gain a foothold and expand our share? We can pull Motorola, we can pull Samsung, LG, don't forget, they still have c , We can make a profit in those places to promote our mobile phone system."
"After consumers are accustomed to using our system, we can adjust the selling price, and we will naturally make money. I think this is our best development path, rather than collaborating with Zhiduoxing and being ridiculed by others!"
When Paul Allen said this, he glanced at Ballmer and refused to come to the door. Was it not ashamed of Microsoft?
Our mobile phone system is losing money, isn't Zhiduoxing losing money? They have disclosed the source code, and the future profit will be lower. This is to dig the grave!
"That seems to be the case. Paul, I remember you and Motorola's CEO are friends. Can you persuade them to only support us Microsoft and give up Saipan? Motorola must be different from Nokia to exceed Nokia! "
A flash of light flashed in Paul Allen's eyes: "I can try and ask him to have dinner together tomorrow. This is Bill I know, we will never fail!"
