Chapter 1437

When Lao Zhang was angry, Feng Yu was on the phone with Wilson and asked about the lawsuit against Microsoft. What? 34? We can deal with it later.

At this time, it can give Microsoft some blow, but also make even think of Yinshan less trouble.

Microsoft suddenly reduced the price of XP system some time ago, which was supposed to affect the sales of XOS system. As a result, even thinking of Yinshan's announcement, Microsoft's trick was destroyed.

Lianxiang Yinshan claims that the XOS system will be updated and maintained for at least five years.

And what this means, for whom, we can see it at a glance.

Think of Microsoft, a generation of systems in two or three years. When 2000 appeared, 95 would stop updating and maintenance. When XP appeared, 2000 would stop updating and maintenance.

Isn't Microsoft announcing that it's going to launch Vista soon? Isn't it saying that XP system will soon stop updating and maintenance?

In other words, although they spent a small amount of money to buy a genuine XP system, it won't take a year at all, and no one will fix the loopholes. How to ensure the system security? How to solve all kinds of problems?

As a result, although Microsoft's XP system has been reduced in price, and the price reduction is very large, it is a pity that not many people buy it. Because no one from Microsoft said how long XP system will continue to maintain. It seems that XP system will stop updating after Vista appears by default.

Who will buy a system that can only be used for a few months? Vista is different from XP. So XP not only didn't improve sales, but also sold worse.

In addition, Lianxiang group no longer pre installs Microsoft's system, and many manufacturers have signed agreements with Lianxiang Yinshan. A cheaper system can reduce the price of their products and increase their competitiveness. Of course, they will not exclude it.

What's more, even think Yinshan has paid some price for this, such as the price of the system, and also let the profit to these PC manufacturers. So now many manufacturers have computers with XOS system preinstalled.

Bill Gates was furious on the board of directors. He gave the people in charge of product sales and development a reprimand. Order the new products to speed up the progress and face the market as soon as possible. At the same time, contact those PC manufacturers and let them limit the sales of models with pre installed XOS system. Microsoft's vista system will definitely give them a greater surprise.

In fact, those manufacturers have been fed up with Microsoft's bullying for a long time, and would like to have a system vendor come out and challenge Microsoft. They only make as much money as a PC, and Microsoft makes as much money as a system.

In terms of profit margin, Microsoft is the most profitable company to sell a computer. How can PC manufacturers balance this?

What's more, even if the conditions given by Yinshan have improved their profits, how can they not support it? In the business field, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. What's more, they have never been friends with Microsoft!

Especially as we all know, after the XP system will soon stop updating and maintenance, the PC sales of pre installed XP system are getting worse, and those PC manufacturers are quite critical about this.

Instead, they now ask Microsoft to announce that it is in their interest to maintain XP for at least three years. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not agree.

But Microsoft is more concerned about the fact that they are accused of monopoly around the world than about the poor system sales. They don't want to lose the power of this bundling model, which will make their software lose the most competitive means.

Of course, it would be better if we could not be fined. Now many countries don't think this kind of binding is bad. Most of them are free software.

Especially since the office software of Lianxiang Yinshan has been sold all over the world, they can't lose this advantage, otherwise they can only be pulled down the price and reduce their profits.

They never thought that even Huaxia would accuse them of Microsoft monopoly, and they also heard that after the anti-monopoly law of Huaxia was passed, the first one to be accused was their Microsoft, which is clearly intentional targeting!

In the first two sessions, their lawyers tried their best to distinguish, but the effect was very little.

There are essential differences between the Chinese legal system and the common law system. The Chinese side is regulated by the law. According to the judgment regulated by the law, various terms are very detailed, and the chief judge's ruling is the main one.

In Europe and the United States, however, the judgments are generally based on the previous practice, with the majority of the votes of the jurors. And their media public can influence the verdict.

In the Chinese legal system, although the media public has influence, it mostly affects the severity of sentencing, not whether it is guilty or not.

Therefore, Microsoft is now firmly established and will be ruled illegal and punished. As for the amount of the fine, because the amount is too high, China's draft anti-monopoly law only stipulates one offline, that is, 5 million RMB.

What they have to contend for now is the amount of the fine. From the current situation, Microsoft is very unfavorable.

The lawyer in China, Wilson, who has been working for Feng Yu, has also made use of the legal gap to ask for a ruling based on the amount of money from Britain and the United States, so he proposed a high amount of fine.What makes Microsoft angry is that Huaxia's side is obviously partial. Most people think the fine is reasonable. Wilson also made a move on the sidelines, saying that Microsoft treats the market differently, which makes Bill Gates want to swear!

We treat each other differently? Our previous product sales in China is the lowest price in the world! Why don't you say that? Now that our prices have gone up, shouldn't we? Your GDP in China is already the top in the world.

We just don't want to treat the market differently now, which has created such a situation. We are not wronged!

Today, for the third time, the two sides started a verbal battle over the amount of the fine.

Wilson's aggressive and linguistic trap made Microsoft's lawyers tired of dealing with it.

Microsoft's representative's face is becoming more and more ugly. They find that things are really moving in the worst direction. They are regarded as a typical example by the Chinese political axe. They are the chicken!

Although Microsoft's representative lawyers kept arguing, it didn't help. The court ruled in court that Microsoft was guilty of monopoly and was fined more than 1.836 billion yuan, and must disclose the source code of some products. This number has set a new record for the fine of Chinese political axe, which will not be broken in the next few years!

When we came out of the court, a group of Chinese and foreign journalists gathered around us. The strong performance of China made many people have no idea. Directly refused to settle out of court, three sessions on the final judgment. Order Microsoft to hand in the fine within the limited time, otherwise Microsoft's company account in China will be seized!

On monopoly, Microsoft, once again lost!
