Although Harry Potter is a director of Microsoft, he has been almost invisible since he entered the board of directors.
The board of directors rarely came in person, but only sent a representative to attend. Moreover, the representative never spoke and never had any meaning to the daily management and development of Microsoft.
This makes Bill Gates very happy. At the same time, he laments that a professional investment manager is a career. He understands that an investment manager only needs money and should never interfere in the operation of the company.
So this time, the board of directors Bill Gates was very surprised to see Harry Potter coming in person. It was even more surprising when Harry Potter took the initiative to speak.
But he was also curious to hear what the magician wanted to say.
"I mean, there's no need to fight any more!" Harry Potter said. "I think the two sides should shake hands and make peace, rather than continue to fight like this!"
"..." Bill Gates's face turned black, and Harry Potter continued, "since the opening yesterday, Microsoft's share price has fallen by 2.7%, and our foundation has lost nearly hundreds of millions of dollars. I think you have lost almost the same, which is really unnecessary."
"Sure enough, he is an investor who only knows the stock price and nothing else!" Bill Gates scolded in his heart and was preparing to refute, but he saw that all the directors in the whole board of directors showed a very appreciative expression on their faces and could only sigh in his heart.
Yes, the directors will not want their own control of the company, but they want the stock price to keep rising. Once the stock price begins to fall madly, the directors may not continue to support themselves.
Even if he is the founder of Microsoft.
"I don't know, Mr. Harry Potter, how do you think we should shake hands?" Bill Gates asked in soft words.
"Daqian gave up launching WPS, we gave up suppressing QQ, and both sides returned to the previous situation. That's the best!" Harry Potter laughed.
"That's not good!" Bill Gates's face turned red. It seemed that Harry Potter's suggestion seemed quite fair. Everyone went back to the past.
But people with a clear eye understand that this battle was won by a thousand. Microsoft, which has a system monopoly, was forced to admit defeat and return to the past.
As the initiator of this battle, Microsoft is naturally even more humiliating and stupid.
"He can't do WPS, and QQ must be reviewed by us before it can be put on the shelf again!" Bill Gates said with a blue face.
"Then there's nothing to talk about, everyone, when I didn't say what I just suggested!" Harry Potter advised his shoulder and was ready to shut up.
"No, I haven't finished yet. I can guarantee that QQ can pass the audit again, but it can't be unsealed until it passes our audit, otherwise it's impossible!" Bill Gates said.
Hearing Bill Gates' words, people understand that in fact, Bill Gates already wants to be soft, but he can't put down Microsoft and his face, and has to go through the audit procedures on QQ.
If QQ is re launched after passing the audit, what Microsoft has done before will not be a slap in the face. After all, Microsoft has never said to completely block QQ, but asked them to pass the audit.
In this way, we can not only save Microsoft's face, but also let Daqian give up tossing WPS.
But the question is, can Daqian agree to this request?
"Hey, although this condition is similar, I think Daqian will not agree to this condition!" Harry Potter sighed.
Harry Potter's words made people nod their heads. They believe this judgment. After all, Jia Yapeng is so strong that he wants to launch WPS to those who attack Microsoft. This kind of condition is almost the same in essence, but it looks very humiliating. It is estimated that he will not agree.
"But I have a new idea! Daqian should be able to agree!" said Harry Potter.
"What advice?" asked Bill Gates curiously.
"Since the root cause of this fight between the two sides is QQ and MSN, we might as well let the contradiction return to the root cause, let QQ and MSN fight with their real skills and see who is the real strong!" Harry Potter laughed.
"I think we can make an agreement with Daqian to record the number of active users of QQ and MSN from a certain time, and then neither Microsoft nor Daqian can interfere with the operation of these two software by any means!"
"After a year, both sides will check each other's active user data. Whoever has a higher number of new users will win. Then the loser will have to be soft. If they lose a thousand times, they will give up the implementation of free WPS."
"If Microsoft loses, it will give up all obstacles to QQ, withdraw the prosecution and return to the previous way!" Harry Potter smiled. "In this year, everyone will no longer intensify other contradictions. Daqian and we will not continue to sue for the time being. At the same time, we will no longer restrict QQ, and Daqian will no longer promote WPS."
"Everything is quiet until the results come out one year later, and both sides will look at the results and decide."
"This..." Bill Gates hesitated. It was a bet, just in case he lost
"Hehe, will Microsoft be afraid of losing to thousands in running a software?" Harry Potter laughed.
"Of course it's impossible. How could we Microsoft lose to Daqian!" Bill Gates immediately retorted, and then thought carefully that he would not lose.
After all, if you own the super platform windows and a built-in MSN, you can add hundreds of millions of installations to MSN. How can you lose to Daqian?
On the contrary, there is a problem whether Daqian will agree to this request.
"I have no problem. I'm afraid he won't agree!" Bill Gates snorted coldly.
"Just ask!" Harry Potter took out his Nokia phone and was ready to call directly.
"Oh, Mr. Potter has Jia Yapeng's phone?" Bill Gates frowned and tightened his heart. Won't Harry Potter be sent by thousands.
"It's natural that Daqian group is also a key investment enterprise of our American priority foundation. 51 search and Amazon both have shares in our American priority foundation. Mr. Jia and I naturally know each other!" Harry Potter laughed.
"Oh, no wonder Mr. Potter is trying to make a settlement between us. It seems that you are afraid that your stocks on both sides will fall!" Bill Gates understood Harry Potter's calculation and said with a sneer.
"Of course, but this is also a win-win thing!" Harry Potter smiled more happily, then raised his mobile phone and said, "Mr. chairman, should I call?"
"You fight!" Bill Gates thought about it and thought he could not lose anyway. At most, it was more complicated, so he replied.
"OK!" Harry Potter smiled and dialed Jia Yapeng.
A few minutes later, Harry Potter hung up the phone with the same smile and said, "it's done!"
