"Bill, even the sales volume of XOS of Yinshan in China has increased rapidly, especially those new users, who almost chose their system, which is very unfavorable to us." Ballmer reports.
"Adjust the selling price. In different markets, adjust the selling price. In the underdeveloped countries, prices have fallen again. In terms of our sales volume, we can make money even at the same price as even Yinshan. " Bill Gates said in a deep voice.
"Isn't that right? In this way, our profit will be seriously reduced, which will affect our stock price. "
If profits fall, investors' trust in Microsoft's stock will fall, so Microsoft's stock price is likely to fall. The rise of stock price is not necessarily related to whether the company makes money.
Investors are looking at the potential of your company and whether you can make money in the future. So many companies that are clearly making money, their stocks will keep falling. For example, Microsoft, Intel and so on in the first two years, their profits are very high, but their stock prices are not falling all the way, and the market value of the company has evaporated a lot.
"I'm talking about xp system, not vista system that we are going to launch. Anyway, our new system is going to be launched, and the maintenance time of this XP system will enter the countdown. How about selling it cheaper? "
"Bill, if we stop maintaining XP next year, but it's still on sale this year, it will make consumers feel very unfair." Ballmer cautioned.
"But we reduced the price. It's like bread sold in the bakery in the evening. It's not fresh, so it's cheap. We sell to the poor. The rich will choose the better, won't they? " Bill Gates said, raising his eyebrows.
"Do you mean we do this only in China and Eastern Europe?"
"Yes. Isn't Huaxia cracking down on piracy and infringement, and they want XOS to occupy the Chinese market and squeeze us out? Then we will use the price that their customers can accept to sell now, and grab the market back! "
……
"Mr. Feng, Microsoft's XP system software has been reduced. Isn't it 199 yuan in our country? They have also reduced the price." Liu Chuanzhi said.
"Don't worry, it's the same price, but we also give other software free of charge. Microsoft charges for those software, right? What's more, we give those retail shopkeepers preferential power, which is beyond Microsoft's imagination. Those shopkeepers will naturally promote our products. " Feng Yu's calm face.
With the continuous growth of XOS users and the continuous increase of sales volume, they are more and more confident. It seems impossible to occupy 10% of the market in one year. Perhaps due to the outbreak of the Chinese and Eastern European markets, more than 10% is also very likely.
Now the biggest question is whether we can continue to ensure this sales volume, or even keep improving. If at first people just want to buy because they are curious, or because they are cheap, but later they find it is not easy to use, it is too difficult to even think about Yinshan and then try to make a PC system.
XP price cut, Feng Yu is not in a hurry, Microsoft is about to launch a new system, at this time the old system price cut sales, how many people will buy it? They don't worry about it. It won't be long before they buy it. They find that the system is behind the times?
It's not old furniture. It can be sold at a reduced price and used by others. The system is a product that needs frequent maintenance. In order to speed up the introduction of new systems, Microsoft will inevitably neglect the routine maintenance of XP system.
The most important thing is that Feng Yu is very clear that Microsoft's system architecture about vista is very difficult to succeed. Because Microsoft still relies on itself to be the market leader, and despises most software companies.
When it comes to compatibility, it will make Microsoft's first big turn. Coupled with the changes in operating habits, many people would prefer to reinstall XP, or change to a new system that provides long-term maintenance, such as XOS.
"It's good to say at home that the sales volume of our XOS in foreign markets is still unsatisfactory. Although we have told consumers that we have no problem with hardware drivers and compatibility of various software products, it is difficult for us to expand market share because most users are accustomed to choosing XP and even those computer brand manufacturers have agreements with Microsoft. "
"Haven't we finalized the agreement with those computer brand manufacturers? Is the condition we give not good enough? " Feng Yu asked with a frown.
"The conditions given by us are definitely much better than those given by Microsoft. They have also tried our system. Although they have put forward some disadvantages, the advantages are obviously greater than the disadvantages. I think they just see that the conditions we give are too good. They know that we have to work hard to expand the market, so they want better conditions. "
To be clear, those manufacturers just want Lianxiang Yinshan to pay more. They are very happy to have a software company to fight with Microsoft. They are always kidnapped by Microsoft.
Microsoft's dominance in the system makes those hardware manufacturers miserable. All the hardware should be suitable for Microsoft's system and software, which makes them very passive.
IBM has been defeated. What can they do? But the system of fruit company is not popularized at all. Even in the market of China, it is far inferior to Microsoft. Their system is only used in their own products.But fruit companies do both hardware and software to form an ecological industrial circle. In other words, they can be self-sufficient. The fruit company's business strategy is to take the high-end, always promote the brand as a boutique, and improve their brand added value.
To put it bluntly, fruit products are extremely poor in cost performance. Some of the software is very easy to use, but the ones that are easy to use are also limited. Only the good brand management makes the profits of fruit companies gradually increase.
"Tell them that this is our last condition. If they want to see Microsoft rule them, then they should stick to it." Feng Yu said with disdain.
Those computer brand manufacturers should be very clear that cooperation with Lianxiang Yinshan is the most cost-effective. Not only is the price more favorable, but it also allows them to take the initiative again, because some have chosen.
Now, they should be talking with Microsoft to see what conditions Microsoft can offer.
"We also decided that we should not be led by those manufacturers. Just as our netbook test is finished, we plan to start production. We decided not only to use this netbook, but also all other Lianxiang computers, all of which use XOS and no longer pre install Microsoft system! "
As soon as Feng Yu raised his eyebrows, Lao Liu was so determined.
"Are you sure? In this way, it may affect the sales volume of the product. If not unexpected, even think it could have become the world's PC production and sales number one in five years. "
"I'm sure that I believe in XOS and the computer products we even think about." Liu Chuanzhi said firmly.
"Well, then I believe that in three years, even if you think about it, you will become the world's PC production and sales number one!"
