Ballmer didn't dare to agree to such harsh conditions, but he knew that he couldn't talk about anything here, so he could only say goodbye to Feng Yu and fly back to the United States, and this matter should be left to the board of directors, or to Bill to decide. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At Microsoft's monthly board meeting, all the directors arrived, except for Feng Yu.

"Hmph, there are people who don't take the company's rules and regulations seriously, I think last year he deducted less equity awards, and this year he should not be given at all!" Paul? Allen saw Feng Yu's empty seat and said in a strange way.

The director of Microsoft, who doesn't know that Paul and Feng Yu don't deal with each other, especially after Feng Yu became the second richest person in the world after Bill, this contradiction is even deeper. If Paul hadn't cashed out Microsoft's shares back then and invested in other companies, the market value of Paul's shares would have been more than $20 billion now, and the gap with Feng Yu would not have been so big.

But now, Paul doesn't seem to have the possibility of catching up with Feng Yu. All of them wisely did not hear Paul's words, and neither of them wanted to get involved in the fight between the two big men.

"Alright, Paul, it's time for a meeting. There are several main topics today, one is that after our win98 operating system was launched, the response was good, and the product sold very well. However, some of these vulnerabilities need to be closed as soon as possible and must not give the impression that our systems are insecure...... The last major topic is the issue of co-development of GBOX. ”

"What to develop collaboratively? Either don't do it, or we Microsoft will do it ourselves! Paul exclaimed.

What are you kidding when you cooperate with Feng Yu, why can Feng Yu cooperate with Microsoft?

"Paul, I don't think it's a good idea for us to develop our own. First of all, we don't have any experience in hardware development, so I won't say why this is the case. Secondly, Feng Yu has the corresponding advanced technology, which is very important for the product......"

"Wait a minute, we don't have hardware development experience, does Feng Yu have it? Besides, we can buy an experienced company, we have a lot of cash, and I think it's good. Paul interrupted Ballmer.

This Ballmer, always towards Feng Yu, was really blind at the beginning, so he agreed to Bill to give him so many share awards.

"Paul, don't forget, Feng Yu has several consumer electronics production and marketing companies, as well as shares in Lianxiang Group, in this regard, he is indeed stronger than our Microsoft. And Ren Heaven can't buy it, but they offer a sky-high price, and no one can afford that price. Ballmer explained.

"Paul, please be patient and listen to Steve." Bill? Gates said with some displeasure.

Paul snorted coldly and looked down to take a sip of water, only to find the Force drink on the table. Seeing this, he was even more angry, even if there is no coffee, black tea is fine, even coke is fine, why do you want to make this force?

Programmers love to drink, give them a drink, why are we on the board preparing this?! I'm just dying of thirst, and I don't drink this thing!

Ballmer continued: "The situation is that we can't buy a good console manufacturing company, and Shijia has proven to be no match for Honi and Renten. As for the game console, which will use the free Linux system, Ren Tianten has chosen to cooperate with IBM. ”

"We are now faced with two choices, as Paul said, we can set up a subsidiary or department by ourselves, develop and produce game consoles by ourselves, or we can choose to cooperate with Feng Yu."

"However, our weaknesses are very obvious. We don't have any experience in hardware development, so we don't know how long it will take to catch up with Zuni and Rentendo in terms of technology. If it's one or two years, it doesn't matter, but if it's ten or eight years, how much money do we have to lose, and how much energy does it take? ”

"It's different to choose to cooperate with Feng, Feng has a company that does game console development, is the largest manufacturer and distributor of game consoles in China, and has a certain reputation in Southeast Asia. And Feng's company has sufficient experience in hardware development, how popular are the consumer electronics they designed, I don't need to list the data to you, right? ”

"There is also Feng set up a game development company, after acquiring two companies in South Korea, and quickly acquired a company in Xiangjiang, a company in Baodao, a company in the island country, a company in Huaxia, and our North American Blizzard company, after integration, it will be the world's largest game development company, with more than 1,000 R&D personnel, and a number of mature game development teams. Everyone knows how Shijia's Saturn failed back then, right? They were disliked by consumers because they offered too few games, and at that time they were not much different from the technology of Zeni and Rentendo. ”

"Feng can not only provide us with a lot of game copyrights, but also take back some copyrights and not use them for Ni and Ren Heaven. And the games they develop in the future will only be read by our system. Another important point is that the patented technology of DVD is in the hands of two groups, one is the DVD Forum, which implements the Wind and Rain-Philips standard, which is also a standard that is followed by more consumer electronics manufacturers, with a market share of more than 70%, and the other is the DVD Alliance, which implements the DVD+RAM standard, and the market share of this standard is only in the early twenties. ”

"If we want to make a game console, we need to adopt DVD technology, and CD technology has proven to be completely backward and will be eliminated by the game storage market. And the technology of the DVD Alliance, Soni is one of the initiators, will they give us the authorization? Even if it is given, then the price will inevitably be very high, which will seriously increase the cost of our products. As for the better wind and rain-Philips standard, everyone can also know that it is the standard implemented by the wind and rain company, and we also joined the DVD forum, but we did not participate in research and development, so we can't get preferential conditions, we have to use this technology, and we also have to pay patent fees, get rid of Feng, we do it ourselves, so how much does the patent fee of this technology occupy in the cost? ”

"So the best way for us now is to cooperate with Feng Yu."

"Why can't VCD technology be adopted?" Someone asked.

"The vast majority of VCD's technologies and patents, are Feng's, well, more than ninety-five percent. And if we want to surpass Sony and Rentendo in products, we can't use technology that is backward than them. Ballmer explained.

"If you say so, then we can only cooperate with Feng, then I agree to cooperate." A director said.

Another director was more cautious: "Steve, Feng is cooperating with us, did you say the conditions?" ”

Ballmer looked at Bill? Gates said to the other directors: "Feng's condition is that he wants an absolute controlling stake in the cooperative company!" ”

Paul almost jumped up and shouted, "This can't be! ”

Delusional, this is wishful thinking, this Feng Yu is too arrogant, cooperating with Microsoft, and actually wants a controlling stake? Who does he think he is?!
