Chapter 1414

"Bill, look at this invitation." Ballmer put an invitation on Bill Gates' desk.

Lianxiang Yinshan software company, what invitation letter do they send me? Can we say that they have developed some powerful software products?

Bill Gates suddenly thought of Feng Yu's saying to him that Microsoft's PC system will be challenged, right?

Bill Gates quickly opened the invitation letter. As expected, Lianxiang Yinshan officially started to build a PC operating system, a Windows system based on Linux basic code, which will be an unprecedented low price.

Ballmer saw the look of shock on Bill Gates' face, the same expression when he first saw the invitation.

What he didn't expect most was that even though Yinshan didn't hold the new product launch conference in China, it set the venue for the launch in New York, the wind and rain Empire State building.

What's the meaning? It's aimed at Microsoft. Who makes Microsoft the absolute hegemon of PC operating system!

"Notice goes on, let all directors come back immediately and hold the board meeting temporarily!"

……

"Bill, what's the matter? Call us back in such a hurry? Isn't someone wrong? " Paul Allen asked with a disgruntled face.

His own company has something else to do. He was also on the board of directors, but was called back by Microsoft. Originally, he said he would not attend, but Ballmer told him that Bill said that everyone must be here this time. Whoever can't come back is responsible.

Paul Allen was so angry at Ballmer's feigned manner that he said this on purpose.

As for the wrong words, of course, it is impossible. He would not believe that Ballmer would make such a low-level mistake.

Bill Gates ignored Paul Allen and looked at the others. "Everyone's here, Ballmer. Could you tell me something about it?"

Ballmer told the story of the invitation, and the conference room fell into a dead silence. They have never thought that they dare to challenge Microsoft's position in Windows system even if they think of Yinshan as a "small company"!

"Steve, are you kidding us? Huaxia Lianxiang Yinshan company, they are going to hold a conference to announce their upcoming PC operating system? Even fruit company and IBM company can't compete with us in this respect. Why are they in that small company! "

Even though Yinshan is the biggest software company in China, it's really a small company in front of Microsoft.

At this time Ballmer said, "Paul, let me remind you. Last month, Forbes valued Lianxiang Yinshan as the No. 1 software company among the unlisted ones, even among the unlisted IT companies. Their estimate of the market value of the company is over 50 billion dollars! "

"50 billion dollars? Is this a big company? When we were at our peak, we are now worth more than 400 billion dollars, right? They are one eighth of us. How many IT companies are there in the world? And how many IT companies can match our market value? "

"In terms of market share, many of our software products are the first. To put it bluntly, even many of them are in a monopoly position. Can they do it? Even in the Chinese and Eastern European markets, they are just with us. As for other markets, it's not as good as us. "

"They are inferior to us everywhere. How can they compete with us? I think they just want to let the wind out, so as to build momentum for their listing, so that their shares can be quickly sold at a high price. "

Paul Allen got a lot of support for his remarks. They all know that Lianxiang Yinshan, a competitor, is said to be preparing to go public.

Before going public, it's normal to release some good news to stimulate the stock price. As for the news proved to be wrong later, the stock price fell, and the shareholders were probably cashing out and making money, but the loss was those retail investors.

Bill Gates suddenly said, "don't forget that Microsoft was just a small company that made software for IBM. But now, we have successfully surpassed IBM. Our original scale is far inferior to the present even thinking Yinshan. "

"Yes, we have caught up with a good time. At that time, the operating systems stood side by side, and we stood out with simpler operation, and gradually became the first in the industry, and even formed a fact monopoly. And our other products, such as office software, have gradually become the number one in the world. "

"If we can, why can't they? Not to mention other markets, China and Eastern Europe alone have more advantages than us. "

"Bill, I agree with what you said, but if they hold a new product launch in the capital of China or Moscow, I also believe that they may have made a good operating system. But they chose New York, that is to say, they made an English version of the operating system, to face the world, do you think it is possible? " Paul Allen asked.No matter in China or Eastern Europe, their mother tongue is not English. How can they make an English operating system? It's normal to make Russian or Chinese.

At Paul Allen's words, Bill Gates also felt that he might be too nervous. But the last time Feng Yu said that he gave Microsoft a blow in office software, the result really happened.

So he said that in the operating system, give Microsoft a blow, how can it not happen? Feng Yu, who is so young, has become the richest man in the world, and he holds too many high-quality assets. He must be very proud of himself.

Even for the sake of face, Feng Yu will invest a lot of money to develop the operating system. At least by virtue of geographical advantages, they can occupy a place in China and Eastern Europe.

"Have you ever thought that Lianxiang group is listed in Xiangjiang, and Lianxiang Yinshan is also inquired in the exchange over Xiangjiang. They should choose Xiangjiang even for the purpose of listing, how can they choose New York?" Asked Bill Gates.

"I'm not sure they plan to go to Nasdaq for listing. Since Lianxiang group and Lianxiang Yinshan are listed separately, they can reduce the risk in the two exchanges. Besides, how can Xiangjiang's media attention compare with that of New York, the largest, most prosperous and richest city in the world! " Paul Allen's face was haughty.

"Here Come on, everyone is ready. If the other party is really developing or has successfully developed PC operating system software, then we must suppress them. If the other side is only for hype, then they should not be allowed to hype. This time to attend their new product launch, Paul, how about you leading the team? "

Paul Allen raised his mouth and said, "well, I'd like to see how they put on this farce!"
