"After careful thinking, I found that the mobile phone industry and game industry are the most important and golden industries in the future, so I decided that in the new century, Microsoft will fully enter these two industries and open up new markets for Microsoft!!" Bill Gates said at the internal meeting.
"..." all the directors present were shocked. When they received the news, they thought it was an ordinary routine board meeting, which was to decide some trivial matters at most.
So many directors didn't really show up, just sent their own representatives.
Unexpectedly, at this meeting, Bill Gates dropped a big bomb as soon as he opened his mouth and announced that Microsoft was going to enter the mobile phone and game industry.
"Chairman, is this too risky? We Microsoft have never been involved in these two industries and have no technology accumulation. The risk is too high!" a director said.
"No, we have technology accumulation!" said Bill Gates. "The first is the game industry. The so-called game is just a program, and the program is what Microsoft is best at. There is no one in the world who knows the program better than me!"
"Moreover, Microsoft is not the first time to set foot in the game industry. We have already established full effect game studio and Microsoft Game Studio. The Empire era series games produced by them are the boutiques of the whole industry. Among them, Empire era 1 sold 18 million copies, Empire era 2 listed last year sold 9 million copies in one year, and the current sales volume has exceeded 10 million It is not impossible to catch up with the 18 million of the previous generation. "
"So we Microsoft have full technical reserves and accumulation in the game. Now there will be no problem in fully entering the game industry!"
"As for the mobile phone industry, it seems very tall and needs a lot of technology. But in fact, after my investigation, I found that most enterprises in the mobile phone industry have become assemblers."
"Some enterprises are not even assemblers. At most, they are just OEM!"
"At present, the global mobile phone industry is undergoing rapid evolution. 90% of mobile phone enterprises have abandoned the manufacturing of products and parts and instead produce OEM through professional OEM enterprises!"
"Many OEM enterprises also sell the finished products of various mobile phone parts. We sent people to do experiments and asked the people of the procurement department and the technology department to cooperate. One person is responsible for global procurement and the other is responsible for assembly. As a result, only these two people successfully assembled a mobile phone that can be used!"
"So at present, the mobile phone industry is also an enterprise with almost no threshold. As long as you have money, you can have your own mobile phone! Otherwise, imagine that Chinese enterprises such as Daqian have stubbornly achieved the position of the third mobile phone manufacturer in the world. Is this because they are superior in technology?"
"Of course not, they are just an assembly manufacturer, relying on the low price strategy to achieve results!" Bill Gates said with disdain on his face, and the directors nodded when they heard Bill Gates's words.
Things are really similar to what Bill Gates said. If you look at these two industries, they still have heads!
"Moreover, it will bring huge profits to Microsoft!" Bill Gates continued when he saw the directors' expressions moved "In the whole 99 years, the total sales of the game industry has exceeded the level of $60 billion, and its sales performance has even exceeded the sales of Microsoft in one year. If we can eat the big cake of the game, the market value of Microsoft can at least double!"
"There is also the mobile phone industry. Its GDP in 1999 has exceeded US $100 billion, but this is only the beginning. According to the model established by our mathematicians, in no more than 10 years, 110 people in the world will have their own mobile phone, which is a huge industry with a year of more than US $400 billion!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, what are the manufacturers that dominate the mobile phone ranking list now?"
"It's either old guys like Motorola and Nokia, or newcomers like Samsung and Ericsson with insufficient strength, so that they let Daqian, a thing that is nothing, occupy the third place in the mobile phone industry. It's ridiculous!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, if we Microsoft enter the mobile phone industry, let alone rely on our Microsoft trademark, even if we can't surpass the two old guys Motorola and Nokia in a short time, it's easy to catch up with and replace Daqian!"
"As long as we can win the market share of 13 in the mobile phone industry, the share price of Microsoft can rise again. Even if the share price in your hands rises five times at that time, it will be easy!" Bill Gates's words are full of temptation, which makes all the directors present feel excited.
Indeed, what Bill Gates said is very reasonable. Even thousands of Chinese enterprises can occupy the market. If Microsoft, the first in the world, attacks, won't it be captured?
Of course, some people feel something wrong. For example, the two industries Microsoft wants to enter this time are almost all powerful industries. It seems that they want to compete with Daqian.
Well, there's nothing wrong with this feeling. Microsoft, or Bill Gates, is going to take this to teach Daqian a deep-rooted lesson.
According to the survey results, Daqian currently involves many industries, but two of the most profitable industries are games and Daqian's mobile phones.
These two industries contribute tens of billions of dollars in sales to thousands every year, of which the game industry is said to have exceeded 20 billion dollars. This is a data that makes Bill Gates drool.
In addition, these are about two industries that Microsoft can directly impact Daqian. After all, Daqian and other industries are too far away for Microsoft. Do you want Microsoft to make movies and engage in Tesla?
This is certainly unrealistic, so Bill Gates finally set the goal of revenge on thousands of games and mobile phones!
He wants to eat the two most profitable industries of Daqian group and let Daqian lose its two largest pillar industries.
As a large enterprise, once it loses the pillar industry of cash flow source, the larger the enterprise, the harder it will fall, and finally it will even fall into pieces and disappear.
Take Microsoft for example. Although Microsoft can still make more than $3 billion a year, in fact, Microsoft's annual expenses have reached about $6 billion.
Once Microsoft loses the huge cash flow brought by Windows system, it will lose tens of billions of dollars of revenue in an instant. As a result, Microsoft's annual profit of $3 billion will become a loss of $3 billion. Microsoft will collapse directly because of the break of capital flow in less than two years.
