"Daqian, it's killing people. He's going to destroy our office business!!" many people said in a hurry.
Office business accounts for about 12.2% of Microsoft's total profit. It is an important business that Microsoft can never lose.
The strength of this WPS is not inferior to Microsoft's office. It can be imagined that after the emergence of free WPS, all manufacturers who previously purchased office may not renew it in the coming year and will instead use free WPS. After all, there are not many state-owned enterprises in the United States. Why not save money?
This big Qian launched WPS such an office software, and actually engaged in a free policy. Obviously, he doesn't intend to make money. He just wants to disgust Microsoft and retaliate against Microsoft's restrictions on QQ.
But even if they know this, the directors at the meeting can't do anything. After all, can they prevent others from using free things?
"Can we limit this WPS as before, just like limiting QQ!" a director came up with an idea and thought that since Microsoft can limit QQ with patches, it can also limit WPS with patches.
And Bill Gates seems quite moved. Anyway, it doesn't seem a big deal to ban one and the other.
"Absolutely not, absolutely not!" said carmed, the former governor of New York, Microsoft's important political help.
"Why?" asked Bill Gates, frowning?
"Chairman, are you eager for the antitrust investigation to start immediately?" kamed said hurriedly. "The antitrust litigation initiated by Daqian has consumed a lot of energy and forced the court to suppress it with the excuse of insufficient evidence."
"But if WPS is banned again this time, I'm afraid the antitrust investigation will officially begin in less than a week!"
"Not really!" Bill Gates said with some disbelief. "The so-called one has two. Since QQ is down, why can't WPS?"
"Because QQ doesn't infringe the interests of enterprises, but WPS infringes!" kamed said helplessly. "Mr. chairman, QQ is just instant messaging software for personal use. Even if it is banned, it's no big deal. Many people cause problems for individual users."
"But more than 80% of the genuine users of office software are enterprises. Now that you have banned the WPS they can use free of charge, they will inevitably feel that their legitimate rights and interests have been infringed. Microsoft shamelessly uses its monopoly right to eliminate competitors for economic interests, so that it can continuously collect licensing fees from them, so as to save a lot of money Microsoft's dissatisfaction. "
"I'm afraid that as long as Daqian launches an antitrust investigation again, many American enterprises will respond. At that time, it's completely impossible for us to use means to delay the investigation!" kamed said.
"..." Bill Gates was silent. He was not stupid, so he soon understood that carmed was right.
The competition between QQ and MSN is not obvious. Microsoft says QQ will damage system security, and many people will believe it. But Microsoft banned WPS because of this, which is quite obvious. Fools will understand that Microsoft is using its monopoly to eliminate competitors without losing the interests of office.
At that time, I'm afraid that enterprises and users all over the world will support thousands of free WPS, and Microsoft will also be pointed out by thousands of people.
"Thank you, Mr. carmed, for reminding me that I almost made a mistake!" Bill Gates quickly thanked, and carmed smiled and said that this was what he should say.
"In this way, can't we just watch Daqian take away our market and our profits?" a director angrily said, "Mr. carmed, how do we deal with Daqian?".
"This..." carmed's expression darkened, and then said with a bitter smile, "I only talk about interests. As for the way, it doesn't matter about me. You can think about it yourself!"
"..." everyone was speechless by carmed's words, but they were asked to find a way, but they couldn't think of it for a while and a half.
"Chairman, I don't know if I should say something!" suddenly, a director opened his mouth.
"Oh! Our magician has spoken, please!" laughed when he saw the speaking director, bill gatston.
Because the speaking director is Mr. Harry Potter, the famous magician.
Well, the magician is just a nickname for Harry Potter. After all, Harry Potter has become famous all over the world. At the same time, the first film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone swept the global market with a final box office of $1.2 billion. If there were no dark horses in the films in November and December, That basically locked the champion of the global film box office ranking in 1998.
Then Harry Potter, the general manager of the American priority foundation with the same name as the protagonist Harry Potter, naturally got the nickname of magician.
In fact, this is not just a nickname because of the same name. In everyone's eyes, the real general manager of Harry Potter is definitely worthy of the title of magician.
After all, his American priority foundation, under the leadership of Harry Potter, has invested in more than 20 enterprises, and the shares of these enterprises have soared.
According to statistics, by the end of 1998, the stock price purchased by American priority foundation has increased by 16 times compared with the price when they bought it. It can be called the king of investment funds. At present, the total assets have reached the level of 168 billion US dollars, which is qualified to break into the top 10 of all investment funds.
It is estimated that Softbank funds before 2018 can be compared with American priority funds in terms of investment performance.
Later, the market even formed a small law, that is, the price of stocks purchased by American priority foundation is bound to rise sharply in the next month.
Conversely, the shares sold by the American priority foundation will also fall sharply.
Because countless people will stare at the operation of the American priority foundation and follow them.
Although they may not be as intelligent as Harry Potter, can't they learn from each other?
Of course, some people say that this is a very dangerous behavior. For example, the people who followed Soros at the beginning have basically lost everything. This is the evil result of learning from others. After all, as long as they are human, they will eventually make mistakes.
However, this law should not disappear until the American priority foundation really makes a mistake.
As the best fund manager in the world, how could Harry Potter let go of Microsoft's shares? Although the American priority foundation has few Microsoft shares, 2.4% also have the qualification to join the Microsoft board of directors.
