Chapter 1400: Microsoft = Global Defendant

At this time, Microsoft is accepting accusations from relevant agencies in South Korea, the island countries, the European Union and the United States, and allegations of charges are monopolized.
Before Microsoft was accused of monopoly, it was bundled with ie, and now, it is bundled with msn and video playback software, this phenomenon is not just in China. Microsoft is doing this all over the world.
When I first bundled it, Microsoft’s justification was because users needed a browser, they just offered it for free. If you don't like it, you don't need it.
However, in the Microsoft system, ie can not be uninstalled, and can not be completely removed, so Microsoft is not recognized because of this defense.
As early as 1997, Microsoft was accused in this country, and Microsoft agreed to pay more than one billion dollars in vouchers in exchange for user understanding.
If the voucher is not received by the user, then most of it is donated to some public schools, and these public schools must use half of the voucher to purchase Microsoft products.
To put it bluntly, Microsoft apparently lost the case, but it consolidated its monopoly. It has even begun to cultivate loyalty to Microsoft products from dolls.
This ruling was opposed by companies such as fruits, and several states in the United States said that they would not continue to sue if they did not recognize the ruling.
This year, the EU has once again had a monopoly issue, and it has been in court with Microsoft. The five-year negotiations between the two sides have broken down, but in the past five years, Microsoft has put the market in control.
It is not terrible for Microsoft to file a lawsuit. It will not only allow Microsoft to keep being watched by the media, but also appear in various media headlines, and it will delay the time and let Microsoft continue to sell software according to their methods.
As for the possibility of being fined in the end, what is this? How much is the fine compared to the profits they get? Even if the fines are temporarily higher than the profits of their software such as ie, they crowd out other competitors and increase the market share of their software. The money will be earned in two or three years.
By bundling sales, Microsoft has rapidly expanded its market share in countries where the world is developed, which has also caused dissatisfaction in many countries.
The EU first rejected Microsoft's delay in negotiating invitations and instead directly ruled that Microsoft monopolized and made a huge fine of about 500 million euros, equivalent to about 670 million US dollars.
At the same time, Microsoft was ordered to strip the software bundled in the Windows operating system, and asked Microsoft to disclose part of the source code of Microsoft related software to competitors, including office software.
Although Microsoft appealed, it was rejected.
If it is not because of this, the source code of some office software is disclosed, Microsoft's activation code generator will not be updated to the universal version so soon.
Seeing the victory of the European Union, South Korea, the island countries and so on have also begun to monopolize the charges against Microsoft, and the country has also resumed its monopoly against Microsoft.
At this time, Microsoft’s most important market, Huaxia, has not been heard.
Huaxia’s draft anti-monopoly law has just been introduced. There has been no relevant law before, and naturally there is no way to pursue it. Another Huaxia has not paid enough attention to this aspect, and never thought about accusing foreign companies.
......
"What do you say, let us accuse Microsoft of monopolizing?" Bao was shocked.
"Yeah, you can fine it. Look at the news on the EU. It is fined nearly 500 million euros. If we calculate the population, we can also fine 500 million euros. If we calculate the sales, we will fine the amount." It will not be too low, and the last few tens of millions of euros can still be there." Feng Yu tempted.
"How much? At least tens of millions of euros? But this is not very good, Microsoft just invested $10 billion in China." Bao said hesitant.
Doing this, it seems that some are not very kind? When someone else has just invested, you will be fine if you turn around. You have not done this.
"Bao Commissioner, investment is investment, breaking the law is an offence. Is it because he invested, and the crimes are not handled? And you don't think that it is easier for foreign companies to understand that China is not arrogant. The place?"
"Moreover, South Korea and the island countries are accusing Microsoft. How can we not sue? Even if Microsoft is in the country, it is accusing them."
"Ah? The country also advertised to Microsoft? Isn't Microsoft not a country?" Mr. Bao felt a little confused.
Just like Huaxia’s thought of Yinshan, the support of Huaxia’s political axe is too late. How can it be told?
"The country is not only a Microsoft software company, but also fruit, ibm, and so on, but Microsoft is indeed the strongest in the Windows operating system. You think, the country has made punishments. What are you polite? If the neighboring South Korea and the island countries sue, even the CIS countries sue, we don't, what's the matter?"
"When the time comes, I will say on the Internet, we are too weak in China's political axe, not as good as the island country. Yes, I have helped find the lawyers. Some time ago, the central bank accused those enterprises with false advertisements, that is, he helped to fight. Win."
"Feng, you tell me the truth, tell people Microsoft, what are you doing so actively? Is it because you are a competitor with Microsoft?" Bao committee squinted at Feng Yu.
"You have to say this, then you have no time to talk. Can't tell Microsoft, we are all competitors. And Microsoft was fined, we can't get a dime. Besides, even if you want Yinshan to have my company's Shares, but not many, even wanting Yinshan’s profitability, in my subsidiary, the ranking is middle and lower."
Feng Yu put on a big blow and continued: "I think for the sake of the country. You see, Microsoft suddenly acquired a large number of domestic software companies. It is clear that it is to dominate the market. And some foreign software companies also All the machines have acquired a batch, and our domestic software market is not controlled by them?"
"Microsoft's branch office in China is second only to the head office of the country. It shows that they value the Chinese market. And because Microsoft has been accused of monopoly, they have already paid a lot of fees, mostly for out-of-court settlement. We, China, must not reconcile and show our anti-monopoly attitude!"
Bao’s member turned a blind eye. This Feng Yu also taught me how to do things? Everything is not about looking at the law.
"Are you sure, can we win?" If you sue someone and lose the result, it would be too embarrassing.
"Of course, I will definitely win. If other countries, Microsoft is fined, we are unscrupulous in China. Don't you think that we have no face in China? We are big countries, we must have the majesty of a big country!"
......
Three days later, the China Trade Commission officially accused Microsoft of monopolizing and demanded that the court ruled that Microsoft would impose a fine of about 2.3 billion rmb!
After the news broke out, the network was in turmoil.
This is the first time that the Huaxia Axe Department has made such a high fine. It is still a fine foreign company, too powerful!
