Chapter 3136 Microsoft Refuses to Admit Defeat

w Lin Feng and Paul Allen left easily, waving their sleeves, not taking away a single cloud, leaving only broken glasses on the ground. []

"It's over, it's over, we lost, we lost!" Ballmer drooped his head, dejected. He lost and closed at $12.6, which was a new low for Microsoft's stock price. At the same time, in today's bet with Lin Feng, Microsoft suffered a disastrous defeat without any suspense. Originally, he thought he won this time. He thought he had poached Chen Xiaowei, but this time he won. Who could have expected that Lin Feng eventually hired Paul Allen, the founder of Microsoft, and defeated Microsoft's defense line in one fell swoop.

Miserable failure!

"Bill, we're done!" Ballmer repeated.

"Bang!" There was a sudden loud noise, and Bill Gates slapped his desk. The sudden loud noise almost stunned Ballmer.

"Steve, are you going to give up like this! Are you going to be knocked down like this! If so, then you are so disappointing to me!" Bill Gates grabbed Ballmer's shirt. Leader, roaring.

Compared with Ballmer, Bill Gates is much petite. At this moment, he grabbed Ballmer's collar, which was so funny that he was speechless. It was like a child grabbing a giant, and the giant could kill him with just a wave of his hand. Overturned. But Ballmer did not push Bill Gates away at this moment, but just stared blankly at his friend who suddenly burst into anger.

"I..."

"Steve, Lin Feng did win this time. He actually found Paul Allen, but we 'Microsoft' have not yet been defeated. In the operating system market, maybe his 'Pangu System' will occupy a certain market. But we Still occupies a dominant position. We can still take the market back, just like he took the market from us, we can still take it back!" Bill Gates roared. "What he can do, we can do even better!"

Ballmer's eyes gradually became brighter.

"Yes, we can definitely regain the market. We can!" Ballmer gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't forget. We are 'Microsoft', and we are the strongest 'Microsoft' in the world. As long as we don't give up, no one can defeat us! No one can! Including Paul Allen!" Bill Gates said in tone Say firmly.

"Yes, no one can defeat us. We are 'Microsoft'." Ballmer also recovered, "So what should we do now?"

"Let's go and hold a press conference. Since Paul Allen has stood up again, we naturally have to say hello to this old friend." Bill Gates said in an indescribable tone.

‘Microsoft’ held a press conference at this time,

Naturally, many reporters flocked to the event.

"Everyone. First of all, I congratulate Mr. Lin for winning this bet. Congratulations to him for making 600 million US dollars. Congratulations! Secondly, I also congratulate Paul Allen. He finally found his ideal job. I wish him the best." Achievements in this industry." Bill Gates first gave a congratulatory speech.

These remarks naturally attracted compliments from many American reporters, who all praised Bill Gates for his general style and tolerance.

Bill Gates smiled faintly. Really want to put on a show. He is no worse than anyone else. Of course, he has been managing Microsoft, but when Microsoft was on track, Bill Gates stopped managing and focused on technical work.

"Here. I want to announce something. 'Microsoft' will develop a new generation of operating system, called 'n7', which is expected to be officially launched in 2009. This new system will be an innovative one. Operating system. I believe that everyone will be satisfied with the innovation brought by this system. As for 'sta', I believe that it will be enough to provide everyone with the most perfect operating experience in a short time. Of course, everyone is choosing to operate it. System, you can also consider the 'Pangu system'. In my opinion, this is a simple system with a single function but good performance. It is only used for playing games and surfing the Internet, but it does more. For work, this system is not enough. And if you just want to play games and surf the Internet, then handheld game consoles such as 'psp' and 'gba' will be fine, even the 'Dream' handheld console launched by Lin Feng. If it can be done, why should you buy a separate computer? Of course, what I said may be wrong, but in short, I congratulate Mr. Lin Feng for his achievements." Bill Gates said with a smile.

"Finally, I would like to announce an appointment here. Ms. Chen Xiaowei will no longer serve as the marketing president of Microsoft China. She will serve as the president of Microsoft China and be fully responsible for all affairs of Microsoft in China! " Ballmer then announced.

Many reporters took a breath. Knowing that this was "Microsoft" retaliating for Lin Feng's poaching of Paul Allen, Chen Xiaowei was given a higher authority to fight against Lin Feng and the others. It’s just that Chen Xiaowei rebelled against the ‘Second World’ and joined ‘Microsoft’. Can it be compared with Paul Allen, the founder of ‘Microsoft’, joining the ‘Second World’? The two are no longer on the same level. What can this speech change?

Indeed, nothing can be changed! It may be difficult for Microsoft's stock price to increase in the short term. But Bill Gates must let people know that "Microsoft" will never admit defeat. The real competition has just begun now.

‘sta’, ‘Microsoft’ may have lost, but ‘n7’, Bill Gates believes he will definitely win!

"Lin, Bill has issued a challenge to you! 'N7', he has given up competing with you in 'STA', and is ready to compete with you again in the new system." Paul Allen received the news and frowned slightly.

"Oh, what's wrong, Paul, is there something wrong?" Lin Feng asked when he saw Paul Allen frowning.

"Bill is very competitive and never admits defeat. He must win the competition he participates in. This time he took the initiative to admit defeat, which means he is really angry. I think his original retirement plan should be delayed because of this. He will definitely devote all his efforts to the development of this 'N7' system. He is a genius. Once he really gets serious, he will be difficult to deal with." Paul Allen said in a deep voice.

Relying on the reputation and market share of 'Microsoft' in this industry, even if Lin Feng defeated 'Microsoft' this time by digging Paul Allen, he did not occupy much market. In fact, according to Paul Allen's evaluation, the 'Pangu System' may occupy at most about 28% of the market share. But 'Microsoft' may still have more than 88% of the market share. As for the fact that 28% and 88% add up to more than 100%, reaching 116%, the extra 16% means that 16% of people will install dual systems.

It can be said that this time, Microsoft lost face, but did not suffer much loss in terms of interests. But Microsoft will be very scary if it gets serious.

"Why, Paul, you have no confidence? Do you think we can't beat Bill Gates and Microsoft?" Lin Feng smiled.

"Haha. To be honest, I am not very confident. But I will not give up. Because Bill can beat me, that is also based on the monopoly position. Putting all this aside, I have never been afraid of him. He is a genius, and so am I. Back then, he never beat me in the math competition. We are both A+!" Paul Allen said confidently.

"Haha. In that case, why should I be afraid of him? Besides, Paul, I can tell you the truth, I don't really take Microsoft seriously. The world has changed, it has changed a long time ago. And Microsoft hasn't seen it yet. Bill Gates can also see that the world has changed. So, haha, the winner in the future will definitely be us, not Microsoft." Lin Feng clenched his fist and said.

Microsoft lost? Paul Allen frowned, stared at Lin Feng, thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and laughed.

"Yes, Microsoft lost. From the moment you joined this battle, they were doomed to fail. Alas, ridiculous, ridiculous, they didn't see through this. Indeed, the market has changed. The world has changed a long time ago!" Paul Allen sighed.

This world is no longer an era of personal computers, but an era of "mobile". The rise of the Internet, the popularity of "mobile", and the change of social rhythm, the world has already changed. People will sit in front of the computer for half a day less and less. More people will begin to enjoy the portability and fun of mobile entertainment and mobile office. But Microsoft is still obsessed with the personal computer business. From the perspective of the big era, Microsoft is doomed to fail.

Of course, Microsoft is still strong. If Microsoft can wake up and does not encounter a strong enough opponent, Microsoft will still regain its dominant position. Unfortunately, Lin Feng will not give him this opportunity. Lin Feng has Phantom Technology, the new most popular mobile phone manufacturer, and the "520 Novel Fast Food Restaurant" that provides "free" all over the world, and a universal "Pangu System", which is enough for Lin Feng to dominate in this "mobile era".

At present, Microsoft has not yet awakened to this point, which is indeed a failure.

"Let's go, Paul, let's go to Shanghai together. Go meet all the colleagues!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"I'm happy to. I wanted to go to China a long time ago, but I never had the chance. I thought it might become a regret in my life, but I didn't expect that God kept me from going to China because I would work in China in the future! Haha, China, an ancient country with a 5,000-year-old civilization, I have longed for it!" Paul Allen laughed.

When Lin Feng and Paul Allen set off to return to Shanghai, the five major investment banks smiled bitterly. This time they suffered heavy losses. Because of blindly "going long", the five investment banks lost up to 2.7 billion US dollars. Although the average loss was only 540 million US dollars per bank, it was completely affordable for these five super investment banks. But when they were sure of winning, they ended up losing miserably. This is really depressing and even crazy.

"Well, we lost this time. Let Lin Feng win again." The Goldman Sachs investment manager smiled helplessly, "It seems that we must be more cautious next time we deal with Lin Feng."

"Well, this guy can always create miracles again and again, we must be more cautious!" The Merrill Lynch investment manager also agreed.

"But I believe we will have the opportunity to fight in the future. He has so many companies, but they are not listed yet. We have plenty of opportunities to fight him!" The Morgan Stanley investment manager sneered.

.....

Of course, from the perspective of the five major investment banks, the matter has come to an end for the time being. But for the market, it is still boiling. American newspapers are still reporting on Paul Allen's joining the "Second World" and rated it as the most successful business operation in history. Of course, "Microsoft"'s poaching of Chen Xiaowei has also been rated as a classic business operation. Both cases have been written into the case courses of MBAs in major universities, and students are asked to analyze and discuss whether the bet between "Second World" and "Microsoft" can change their fate, whether "Microsoft" can turn the tide, and whether "Second World" can avoid winning so hard.

These things naturally exacerbated the conflict between Lin Feng and "Microsoft" again. And the two companies have become mortal enemies! Irreconcilable mortal enemies, mortal enemies who will never cooperate. Just like Japan's "Nintendo" and "Sony", and the United States' "IBM" and "Oracle". These are companies that will never cooperate! And what will happen to Lin Feng and "Microsoft" in the future, and whether only one will survive in the operating system market, everyone is waiting to see.

At this time, Lin Feng and Paul Allen arrived in Shanghai.

"Lin, Shanghai really impressed me as being too advanced and prosperous. Lujiazui and Huangpu District are no worse than Manhattan and Fifth Avenue in New York. China's development is amazing! No wonder you are such a genius!" Paul Allen marveled at the prosperity of Shanghai and China's progress.

"Haha, Paul, China has a population of 1.3 billion. Any number that reaches 1.3 billion is a huge business opportunity. There is no place in the world with more prosperous business opportunities than China. Your choice to join the "Second World" will definitely be the wisest choice in your life!" Lin Feng boasted.

Paul Allen nodded. Originally, he chose to join the "Second World" and he was still under a lot of pressure. After all, he was the founder of "Microsoft", but he joined the current mortal enemy of "Microsoft". This might have caused a big uproar in the American public opinion circle. And major American newspapers were also implicitly criticizing his "traitorous behavior". Although Paul Allen is always fearless and does his own thing, he would not be a human if he did not feel any pressure on this matter.

But now in Shanghai, he feels that all the risks and costs are worth it. His philosophy of life may be truly realized here.

"Lin, I really have a crazy plan, but it has been in the cradle due to my personal lack of funds and technical problems. Maybe you can help me realize it!" Paul Allen said suddenly.

Lin Feng smiled.

"Don't worry, let's get to the company first!" Lin Feng was looking at the towering 'Century Light' building not far away. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)m
