Bill Gates left with a gloomy expression. For a proud man like him, the frustration made him very sad.
In the past, Microsoft's game machine project lost more than $1 billion a year, which Bill Gates didn't ask for. Microsoft has never failed in any project, and he does not allow Microsoft to give up any project.
When Bill Gates thought about how to give Lianxiang Yinshan a head-on blow, he learned that Taihua holding group had started a clause in their original agreement, with a premium of 50%, requiring the compulsory acquisition of Microsoft's shares in the small overlord of Aihua.
Although the premium is 50%, it seems to be very high, Microsoft will never lose. But this is equivalent to the face of Microsoft. When was Microsoft's business acquired by others?
Bill Gates, who returned to Microsoft's headquarters that day, was furious and threatened to show Feng Yu a good look. He must let Lianxiang Yinshan learn a painful lesson!
Feng Yu is discussing with Zhengxiong kuota to bring G-box into the game market of the island country. Liu Chuanzhi tells Feng Yu that he has trouble thinking about Yinshan.
"Lao Liu, what can make you so worried that there is something wrong with Yinshan's software?"
"No, it's Microsoft, Microsoft's Huaxia branch. Today, they suddenly announced that they have acquired five software companies, all of which have outstanding performance in application software development."
Feng Yu frowned. How did Microsoft suddenly start to buy the software company of China? Microsoft has set up a software engineering laboratory in China?
"Buy it, buy it. When Bill Gates came to China last time, he announced that he would invest one billion dollars in China. If he didn't invest, wouldn't he say he was lying?"? He was so proud and proud of his face that he had to admit even his losses. By the way, how much did he pay to acquire these five software companies? " Feng Yu didn't care much.
"Not more than $50 million."
Not more than $50 million? Five companies, so to speak, are not too large companies. Is it because they have developed some very good application software that attracts Microsoft's attention?
"Why, do you think there is something wrong with it?" Feng Yu asked.
"The problem is that these five companies are not worth the money at all. Microsoft is obviously buying at a premium. And they inquired about it. It seems that Microsoft Huaxia company is not only in contact with these five companies, but almost all the software companies in Huaxia! "
What? Contact all software companies in China!
Does Microsoft intend to unify the Chinese software market? Is he not afraid of being suspected of monopoly?
Oh, by the way, there are even Yinshan and several state-owned enterprises.
In this way, as long as they form a de facto monopoly and do not make any deliberate monopoly, there will be no big problem.
Just like the previous generation of Intech and SUPERWAY, the market share of Intech has been a monopoly for a long time, but every time there is room to keep SUPERWAY from collapsing, thus avoiding the fate of Intech being forced to split because of monopoly.
"It's time for us to help those companies and raise their prices." Feng Yu said with ease.
"Mr. Feng, don't you understand what I mean? Microsoft is to integrate all software companies in China and form a giant software enterprise, which in turn will suppress our even thinking of Yinshan. " Liu Chuanzhi said in a hurry.
"I know, but it's not that the company is large in scale. If there are many people, they will make money. I haven't seen one or two of these seemingly big companies go bankrupt. What is the key to software companies? Software engineers! "
Hearing Feng Yu's words, Liu Chuanzhi suddenly realized: "you mean, let them buy these companies at a high price, and then we dig people in turn?"
"That's right. Those Microsoft companies will buy it if they want to. The key is to dig up the talents. We can't finish digging. Aren't there any state-owned technology companies. Plus some of Xiangjiang's technology companies and other foreign-funded technology companies, I don't believe that they will see Microsoft grow in China! "
China's market is so coveted. With a population of more than one billion, if it is developed like the United States and island countries, how much profit it will make.
Any software company that wants to develop in the world will not give up the Chinese market. Microsoft is the public enemy of all software companies, because Microsoft is No.1.
……
"Mr. Gates, many multinational software companies in the Chinese market have started to expand. Some of the companies we talked about before are now starting to set prices." Director of Microsoft Huaxia reports.
"I said that this time we will invest more than one billion dollars in the Chinese market. If they raise their prices, we will raise them. Is there any doubt about this?"
Bill Gates was very dissatisfied with the president of China branch. He didn't even think about Yinshan's huge potential before. If we knew and prepared early, would we be so passive as we are now?
Although Ballmer and others persuaded him that such an expansion would cost a lot of money, he firmly believed that it would occupy at least half of China's market. What's more, there are those IT talents from the Chinese market network.Once Bill Gates makes a decision, no one can let him change it. Although Paul Allen thinks it's inappropriate to do so, he also strongly supports it if he thinks it can rob the market of Fengyu company.
Although investment should be rational, but sometimes impulsive, maybe not bad. What's more, Microsoft's team has also analyzed that a billion dollars is enough to make Microsoft one of the top software companies in China.
Another advantage is to let other investors think that if Microsoft occupies the Chinese market, then Microsoft's share price will inevitably soar. Occupy such a big market, the profit will certainly soar, investors are willing to buy Microsoft's stock of course.
As a result, the software market in China has suddenly changed and even caused the shock of the whole world's software market.
All of a sudden, so many software companies have been acquired and merged at such a fast speed, which of course makes people look at them. What's more, Microsoft and the biggest Lianxiang Yinshan in China are also involved in this time.
This incident has even attracted the attention of Chinese leaders. It is an industry that China focuses on. Why did such a big thing happen suddenly?
Liu Chuanzhi explained for a while, then the leaders understood why. Anyway, the leaders knew that Chinese enterprises and individuals would not suffer losses, which was enough.
If you suffer losses in your own home, the country may lose face with you.
……
"Mr. Feng, we also took the opportunity to acquire several enterprises, all of which have good strength and overlap with our business, which is to strengthen our advantageous business." Liu Chuanzhi said.
"That's good. We haven't spent all the money on the loan, have we? I think it's almost done. We can start digging! "
