The proposal for cooperation has been adopted, but the specific terms of cooperation still need to be discussed in detail. This time, Feng Yu gave Bill Gates face and came to the United States to talk with Bill Gates in person.
"Feng, the board of directors has passed the plan of cooperation with your company. Do you know that?"
"Of course." Although Feng Yu didn't come, Ralph would inform him about the board of directors.
"You own 67 percent of the shares, so how much are you going to invest? How much does Microsoft need to invest? "
"I put in two hundred million dollars, and Microsoft is two hundred million dollars."
Bill Gates frowned and invested one-to-one, but he got two-to-one shares. Is Feng Yu too much?
Although he admits that Feng Yu's technologies are very important, they are not so much worse, are they?
"Oh, by the way, what we are cooperating with Microsoft this time is not wind and rain electronics, but the little overlord of Aihua."
Wind and rain electronics, with VCD, DVD and wind and rain mobile phones, is also a little famous in the world's consumer electronics field. But Aihua, Bill Gates, has never heard of it.
Feng Yu even uses a company he has never heard of to cooperate with them, instead of storm electronics, which makes him feel cheated.
No one can play Bill Gates, no one!
"Feng, this is different from what we talked about before. I think you are wrong?"
"No, I'm sure. It's Aihua. This company, which Ballmer inspected, is the company with the production technology of game consoles, which is also controlled by me. As for the DVD related technologies you are worried about, they are also included. "
"By the way, the R & D team should also invest in China to build a product R & D center there. Microsoft's people are going to work there. Of course, if you think it's OK to work here, I have no problem, but I won't provide office space. "
"Feng! I've made a big concession. You have the absolute control of the new company, but don't go too far! " Bill said angrily.
"Bill, we can think about it in reverse. If it is Microsoft holding, where would you let the R & D team work? And the research and development of home video game machine, hardware is the most important, my people, in the world are top. As for software, isn't it OK to have a computer? "
Since it is the absolute controlling right, of course, the company's affairs should be in accordance with Feng Yu's requirements.
In the past, Microsoft made its own Xbox. After the first generation of Xbox went public, it had a lot of bad reviews. It sold nearly as much as Shijia's game consoles, but its price was lower.
That is to say, there are not many people willing to buy the discount sale. At that time, the price of a game machine was 299 dollars, and the cost of Microsoft to produce one was 430 dollars!
In other words, at that time, Microsoft had the highest production cost in the field of home game consoles, while the products it produced were the worst. Well, it doesn't include Shijia, who later retired from the field of video game consoles.
And this game machine, the global final sales exceeded 20 million, Microsoft lost more than three billion dollars!
This is the ambition of Bill Gates, and this is the product they think can teach Cheney and nonheaven a lesson.
Later, Microsoft accumulated experience, knew that it paid attention to user feedback, improved technology, and produced more interesting game consoles. However, it was still invincible to wordy and nonian paradise, but at last, it turned public praise and profit.
But how did the second generation of game consoles turn losses into profits? Because they use the IBM core that Microsoft once despised most.
While Microsoft's second-generation computers sell more than 80 million units, the profits they earn have not been able to cover the losses of the previous generation.
Considering the investment in R & D, service website and other operations, Microsoft lost billions of dollars for this game machine!
Of course, billions of dollars is nothing compared to Microsoft's big business. But we have to say that this is a failed investment, although Microsoft has been praised a lot later.
Because more than ten years later, the fewer people buy this kind of game machine. Although Microsoft claims that it's a sense of body game machine, which can make people immersive, it's just that. Immersive, far from it.
What did Bill Gates just want to say? Feng Yu continued: "bill, what is the labor cost in the United States, and what is the labor cost in China? Our production in China can greatly reduce our cost and enhance the competitiveness of our products. "
Bill Gates is silent. Of course, he knows that this product is the right choice for production in China, with ready-made factories, low labor force and relatively mature development experience.
But he was not happy with Feng Yu's attitude. Why all the conditions were raised by him, and Feng Yu didn't agree to any of them?
"Even if what you said makes sense, we must manage the management together, including product development, production, sales and other departments."
"Bill, do you know how to sell electronic products? I have more experience in this area than Microsoft. My brand, my products, from scratch, from so many big companies to today's point of view, my sales team, the credit is indispensable, so the sales, should give me full power, North America, if Microsoft is willing, can be responsible. ""In terms of production, Microsoft has never produced such products, or even dabbled in such factories. You just make some system CDs. In terms of production, it is also my team that is more excellent and chooses the best. It should be my team management. If a factory is to be built in North America in the future, the management right here can be handed over to Microsoft. "
"In terms of R & D, let alone the main R & D teams, they are all mine. Of course, software and hardware can be separated. In terms of software, Microsoft is responsible. In terms of hardware, my team is responsible. Is that reasonable? As for game development, we can discuss it together. "
"There are also logistics, finance and other departments. You can also manage and discuss with each other. As for the president of the company, should I appoint him? "
Bill Gates stared at Feng Yu and said for a long time, how could it be as if he had lifted a stone and smashed his foot? Most of the company's management rights were taken away by Feng Yu, and the rest were discussed by everyone. Not to discuss what to do, not to let the president decide, President TM is Feng Yulai appointed, is not this company entirely Feng Yu has the final say?
"Bill, believe me, we will create a bright future, launch the revolution of home video game machine, and change people's cognition of game machine. All these achievements belong to all of us! "
Maybe Feng Yu moved Bill Gates by saying that he stepped on wordy and nonheaven, and finally Bill Gates nodded: "OK. If the first generation product fails, then I will appoint the president, and whoever wants to sell the company's shares, the other party can buy it first with the same conditions. Also, there must be a Microsoft logo on the game console. "
"No problem, then we have a good cooperation!"
