Chapter 1031

Bill Gates frowned at Paul. This is the board of directors. It's the place for everyone to discuss matters. It's not the place for you to shout.

How can Paul lose his temper when Feng Yu is involved? Is it because Feng Yu cursed that his team would never win the NBA championship?

Such a big man, how can he still be like a child, because this little thing is in dispute. We all work together to develop Microsoft well and continue to grow, which is the right choice!

"Paul, keep your head. It's in the interests of all of us, and we can't get angry. " Bill advised.

"Well, first of all, I'm against working with Feng Yu. I'm on the point. He wants absolute control. Who can agree? " Paul sneered. "Who does he think he is? At the beginning of that DVD forum, without our support, would it have developed so well? What benefits did we get? "

Microsoft only makes software. The dispute about DVD standard and DVD drive standard in DVD forum has nothing to do with them. It's just a little different driver.

In Paul's opinion, it was Microsoft's support that finally led Feng Yu to set up the DVD forum. Otherwise, would DVD drive standard be supported by so many computer manufacturers and marketers?

But he didn't notice that at that time, Microsoft's support was just icing on the cake, not sending the coals in the snow. Feilipu is the first enterprise to cooperate with Fengyu, and it attaches great importance to and respects Fengyu. For example, those big enterprises in Europe are all connected with feilipu, and Fengyu has some contacts and supports from some enterprises.

Microsoft is indeed the biggest company in terms of market value at present, but when it comes to hardware and other electronic products, Microsoft's influence is really not so great, otherwise, wordy would not refuse to let the new generation of PS build on Microsoft's system.

Industry first is very good, but it will also be the target for other companies in the industry to work together. Those hardware companies are dominated by Microsoft. Why don't you think of counterbalancing Microsoft?

"Paul, it didn't make sense. Now, Feng can do it himself, we can do it ourselves, but after Feng does it himself, the possibility of success is higher and the cost is lower. If we do it ourselves, the possibility of success will be lower and the cost will be higher. I don't deny that if we are willing to invest money, we can sell tens of millions of sets, but can we make money? " Asked Ballmer.

Microsoft has been afraid to make computers because of the boycott of hardware manufacturers. Once Microsoft has made computers, other hardware manufacturers will unite and never use Microsoft's systems again, which will cause Microsoft huge losses, even a disaster of extinction, because Microsoft has moved the interests of other companies. If they do not resist, they will be swallowed by Microsoft sooner or later And.

Microsoft's gbox is also an attempt on hardware. Fortunately, there are few companies eating the cake itself, which will not cause great resistance. But it will not be claimed that this is the prelude for Microsoft to enter the hardware market.

They will continue to publicize how bad Microsoft's products are, and will never give any help to Microsoft. They will even support Zini, nonheaven and other faster development of new products in private, and destroy Microsoft's game consoles.

Cooperation not only makes it easier to succeed, but also shares risks. Although losing hundreds of millions of dollars, or even billions of dollars, is nothing to Microsoft, but can make money, who is willing to lose money?

Bill knocked on the table: "do you remember our goal? To be a necessity of life! The first product we want to try is the set-top box of TV. In the future, ordinary satellite TV will not meet the needs of families. They can watch the programs on the Internet through set-top boxes, or even directly access the Internet through set-top boxes. And this video game machine has something in common with the set-top box in some technologies. We do gbox, which is also preparing for our future production of set-top boxes. "

Set top box is the entry point that Bill Gates once thought of, a product between electronic products and home appliances. Will not move the interests of those big companies, but once done, even if the market share is only half of Microsoft system, it will be a huge profit!

Of course, they don't have any set-top box manufacturing technology, and they don't have any special set-top box manufacturers at present. Therefore, Microsoft doesn't have a good goal to acquire. It seems that it's a good choice to exercise its technology first, and then wait two years to enter the set-top box market.

At that time, their own technology has been developed, and they can buy a set-top box manufacturing company. Maybe they can get rid of Feng Yu and make their own video game machines.

"Bill, I know everything you said, and I understand our plan. Cooperation is OK, but we want to hold 51%, which is what Microsoft should do! " When he heard Bill's words, Paul gave a rare explanation.

In fact, Paul's words are also the inner thoughts of several shareholders. They are Microsoft, the company with the largest market value in the world. They used to buy other companies. Now it's unprecedented to cooperate with other companies. How can they still not control?

has the final say that even if the controlling power is handed over to the other party, it can not be absolute control right. Then what is it? Isn't Microsoft going to be ridiculed by other companies?Paul, of course, we understand that holding is what Microsoft should do, but Microsoft doesn't do anything. Although I also believe that we can do the best as long as we are willing to invest, but we can save money. Why spend more? It can also reduce our risk. Why not? "

"Ballmer, I know you have a good relationship with Feng, but you should speak from the perspective of Microsoft, not for Feng!" Alan roared.

Ballmer is not happy. He is also a shareholder and director of Microsoft. Although he has less shares than Paul, Paul is not Bill Gates. Why point to his nose and criticize him?

"I'm speaking from Microsoft's business point of view. Unlike some people, I'm full of ambition. Because of a little personal resentment, it affects the company's correct decision! "

There was a quarrel on the 23rd of the company. The other directors wanted to express their opinions, but now they are silent. They all look at Bill Gates. At this time, only bill can hold the scene.

"Two, I repeat, this is the board of directors! Different opinions or even disputes can be expressed because of disagreement, but personal attack is not allowed! We are all for Microsoft and for ourselves. Let's vote. I agree to cooperate with you and let Feng become the controlling shareholder! "

Paul was surprised that Bill Gates agreed. Ballmer immediately raised his hand to show his agreement. The others looked and raised their hands. Only Paul did not raise his hand.

He stood up and turned away. Behind him came Bill Gates's voice: "then this proposal is passed!"
