Chapter 1030

Balmer didn't dare to accept such harsh conditions, but he knew that he couldn't talk about anything here. He had to leave with Feng Yu and fly back to the United States. It was up to the board of directors or bill to decide.

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

"Well, some people don't pay attention to the company's rules and regulations. I think last year's incentive to deduct his equity was less. This year, I should not give him any!" Paul Allen looked at Feng Yu's vacant 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 has become the second richest man in the world after bill, this kind of contradiction is deeper. If Paul didn't cash in Microsoft's shares and invested in other companies, the market value of Paul's shares would be more than 20 billion dollars. The gap with Feng Yu would not be so big.

But now, Paul doesn't seem to catch up with Feng Yu. For Paul's words, all of them are wise to think that they have not heard, and no one is willing to intervene in the struggle between the two big men.

"Well, Paul, we're ready for the meeting. Today, there are several main topics. One is that after our Win98 operating system went on the market, it has a good response and the products are selling well. However, some of these loopholes should be remedied as soon as possible, which cannot give the impression that our system is unsafe The last major issue is the cooperative development of gbox. "

"What is the cooperative development? Or we can't do it. We can do it ourselves! " Cried Paul.

What's the joke with Feng Yu? Why can Feng Yu cooperate with Microsoft?

"Paul, I don't think it's a good idea for us to develop ourselves. First of all, we have no experience in hardware development. I don't need to say why. 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 plenty of cash. I think nonheaven is good. " Paul interrupts Ballmer.

This Ballmer, always to Feng Yu, was really blind at the beginning, just agreed that Bill gave him so many share awards.

"Paul, don't forget that Feng Yu has several production and marketing companies of consumer electronics and shares of Lianxiang group. In this respect, he is indeed better than Microsoft. And nonheaven can't buy it, but they open up a sky high price, which no one can afford. " Ballmer explained.

"Paul, please listen to Steve patiently." Bill Gates said with some displeasure.

Paul snorted coldly. He looked down for a drink of water, only to find that there was a force drink on the table. Seeing this, he is even more angry. Even if there is no coffee, black tea is OK. Even coke is OK. Why do you want to make this force?

Programmers like to drink, give them a drink, why should we prepare this on our board?! I don't drink it even if I'm thirsty!

Ballmer continued: "the situation is that we can't buy a good game machine manufacturing company. Shijia has been proved that it's not the rival of Cheney and nonheaven at all. And the game machine of wordy, will use free Linux system, nonheaven chose to cooperate with IBM

"We now have two options. As Paul said, we can set up a subsidiary or department, develop and produce game consoles ourselves, or cooperate with Feng Yu."

"But our weaknesses are very clear. We don't have experience in hardware development. We don't know how long it will take to catch up with suonii and nonien in technology. It doesn't matter if it's a year or two, but if it's a decade or eight, how much money will we lose and how much energy will we involve? "

"It's different to choose to cooperate with Feng. Feng has a company that develops game consoles. He is the largest game console manufacturer and marketer in China and has a certain reputation in Southeast Asia. And Feng's company, with sufficient experience in hardware development, has designed consumer electronics that sell well. I don't need to list data with you, do I? "

"Feng also established a game development company. After acquiring two companies in South Korea, he quickly acquired a company in Xiangjiang, a company in Baodao, a company in island country, a company in Huaxia, and a company in North America. After integration, he will be the largest game development company in the world, with more than 1000 R & D personnel and multiple mature games Development team. How did ska's Saturn fail in those years? Do you know? They are disliked by consumers because they provide too few games. At that time, their technology is not much different from that of Zini and nonheaven. "

"Feng can not only provide us a lot of game copyrights, but also take back some copyrights and not use them for wordy and nonheaven. And the games they develop in the future will only be read by our system. Another important point is that DVD's patented technology is in the hands of two groups. One is the DVD forum, which promotes the wind and rain Philips standard. It is also the standard followed by more consumer electronics manufacturers, with a market share of more than 70%. The other is the DVD alliance, which implements the DVD + ram standard. The market share of this standard is only over 20%"If we want to make game consoles, we need to adopt DVD technology. CD technology has been proved to be completely backward and will be eliminated by the game storage market. And the technology of the DVD alliance is one of the founders. Will they authorize us? Even if given, then the price will be very high, which will seriously increase the cost of our products. As for the better wind and rain - Philips standard, we all know that it is the standard implemented by wind and rain company. We also joined the DVD forum, but we didn't participate in the research and development, so we couldn't get the preferential terms. We have to pay the patent fee for using this technology, but we have to get rid of Feng and do it ourselves. How much does the patent fee of this technology cost? ”

"so now our best way is to cooperate with Feng Yu."

"Why not use VCD technology?" Someone asked.

"Most of the technologies and patents of VCD are Feng's, well, over 95%. And if we want to surpass Sony and Nintendo in terms of products, we can't use technologies that are behind them. " Ballmer explained.

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

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

Ballmer looked at Bill Gates and said to the other directors, "Feng's condition is that he wants absolute control of the company!"

Paul almost jumped up and shouted, "it's impossible!"

Delusion, this is delusion, this Feng Yu is too arrogant, with Microsoft cooperation, actually want to control? Who does he think he is?!
