Chapter 980

AOL.

"Head, the number of people online in our ICQ is exceeded by MSN at the same time."

"Damn Microsoft, their MSN is completely copying our ICQ."

"Yes, I also think we didn't get much benefit from the previous lawsuits."

"What do you think?"

"I've studied it before. In fact, our ICQ has always been ahead of MSN before. The reason why we were overtaken by MSN later is that we contracted in publicity and promotion. I suggest expanding the publicity of our ICQ. As long as the publicity is enough, our ICQ still has great advantages."

"You know, the headquarters is not only ICQ business, but also many other businesses."

"But if the publicity can not continue, our ICQ may be in a worse situation."

"Is there a specific publicity program?"

"Yes, we can put the main publicity position on the friend network. Friend network is the fastest-growing website at present, and it is also the website with the most vitality and the most young people. Such website crowd coincides with our ICQ crowd, which helps to promote our ICQ."

"But the advertising fee of friends has never been cheap."

"First, there is good news. Friends recently launched a more favorable publicity scheme. They reduced their advertising expenses by 50% compared with the previous one."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, I have confirmed."

"Good. You can do it."

……

Sony.

"Mr. Hirai, the latest Xbox released by Microsoft has received good feedback in the market, which has put a lot of pressure on our PS3. Even, their turnover exceeded 20% of ours in the last quarter."

"What's wrong with our side?"

"Mr. Hirai, I think our console, game quality and word-of-mouth brand are no worse than or even better than Xbox. However, Microsoft has recently increased the publicity of their game console market. For example, they have signed dozens of online celebrities to introduce and recommend their Xbox on Huanyu video platform, which has formed a trend among young game groups."

"Huanyu video, the promotion of this website is so powerful?"

"Yes, Mr. Hirai. Huanyu video is different from other video websites. They mainly focus on short videos and accurate recommendations. Users can instantly attract popularity by browsing their favorite short videos. Microsoft has gradually caused a wave in the North American market through such publicity and promotion. I think we can follow up. Moreover, there has been a good consumer recently Rest? "

"What's the good news?"

"Huanyu video recently reduced 50% of the publicity and promotion expenses. If we follow up now, we can definitely suppress Xbox."

"Can't Microsoft increase the promotion funds for Huanyu technology?"

"Mr. Hirai, maybe you don't pay attention. Huanyu technology is competing with Microsoft in China. This time, Huanyu technology is to deal with Microsoft, so it is excluded."

"It seems that this is really good news. You can do it."

……

Oracle.

"Ellison, according to the latest survey data, our office software business has fallen to 10% of the North American market, while Microsoft office, our main competitor, has risen to 80%. It may not allocate too much funds to you this year."

"Mr. Fogg, how can we? The office software business has always been the core business of Oracle. How can we give up. Moreover, in those years, our office software business was better than Microsoft's office. How can we give up because of some difficulties?"

"Ellison, that's not what I mean. It's the decision of the headquarters."

"Mr. Fogg, if the headquarters does so, our office software business may be completely finished. If so, I may agree to the cooperation of Huanyu technology."

"What does the cooperation of Huanyu technology mean?"

"Recently, Huanyu science and technology sent people to contact us. They put forward a new scheme. They suggested that we free our office software business."

"Free, let everyone use our office software for free."

"Yes."

"Ellison, are you crazy?"

"No, I'm not crazy. In the Chinese market, the WPS of Huanyu technology has changed from charging to free. Therefore, their market has soared to 40% in an instant, and I expect that the market share of WPS will eventually exceed that of Microsoft office."

"Even so, the free market accounts for 100%, what can we do? Can we make money?"

"Yes, the WPS of Huanyu technology takes the form of free for ordinary users and membership fees. Ordinary users can use more than 90% of WPS functions, but some professional functions are charged. I believe that as long as our market share increases, our member users will also increase."

"Do you think this model is OK?"

"I think this is our only way out. Moreover, Huanyu technology said that they can help us in future publicity and promotion."

"Why does Huanyu technology help us?"

"Because Huanyu technology is competing with Microsoft for operating system business in China."

"That's good for us. All right, Ellison, I need a detailed report."

"Yes."

……

Huanyu technology has no way to take Microsoft's operating system on this side of China for the time being.

However, in the global market, that is not necessarily.

With the two major websites of friends and Huanyu video, Chen Yu has two trumps.

Whether friends or Huanyu video, it is now a global website.

Moreover, in order not to affect the globalization of these two websites, Chen Yu even did not hesitate to throw out a series of shares and a series of investment bosses.

In addition, the two websites are registered in the United States.

Therefore, in the process of globalization of these two websites, there has not been too much interference.

Chen Yu has no way to deal with Microsoft's operating system for the time being.

But to deal with a series of other core businesses of Microsoft, Chen Yu can still move.

Office software business, game business and instant messaging business are all Microsoft's core businesses.

Although these core businesses are not as important as the operating system, if something goes wrong, it is enough for Microsoft to drink a pot.

So.

Huanyu technology is just an action. Oracle, AOL, Sony... And other global leaders follow up one after another.

Although AOL and Sony are also competitors of Huanyu technology.

However, in today's globalization, it is normal to have cooperation in competition and competition in cooperation.

Moreover, the cooperation provided by Huanyu technology is too tempting.

Let's say instant messaging.

Huanyu technology has no instant messaging business in North America, but it can help any of them.

For example, ICQ.

As long as the friend network introduces ICQ information, his market share can surpass MSN in an instant.

As for the game business.

That's too simple.

The short video precise recommendation of Huanyu video is the biggest highlight.

But when the business is competitive, will Huanyu video crazy recommend Microsoft's Xbox.

In the absence of competition, Microsoft relies on a series of online Red cooperation to promote their Xbox by recording short videos from time to time. Well, when there is competition, Huanyu video directly limits the current of Microsoft Xbox. Don't think Huanyu technology is so shameless. Such shameless means are actually too civilized. It's good that Huanyu technology doesn't directly screen out Microsoft Xbox.

Everyone is a competitor. Chen Yu doesn't want to use this move to deal with other competitors at home, but he's not polite abroad.

In fact, this is normal operation.

Just like Microsoft has been binding IE and MSN in its operating system.

The office software is much more generous on the side of Huanyu technology.

At most, the front provides some advertising promotion, which still needs the efforts of these companies themselves.

But in the office software business, Huanyu technology is already familiar.

Ah, you don't know how to play for free?

No problem.

We Huanyu technology to teach you.

Huanyu technology can teach Oracle the experience of office software in the domestic market.

Don't thank you. You're welcome.

You asked why I helped you so much.

There's no reason.

To ask why, that is, please call me * *.

Of course it's a joke.

Huanyu technology is not * * and Chen Yu is not so generous.

Other companies naturally see the strategy of Huanyu technology.

However, seeing is seeing, but when interests are bound together, just know it in your heart.

……

"Bill, I think we're in trouble."

"Steve, what's the matter?"

"Our team with top security companies didn't play much role."

"Oh, Huanyu technology makes their Huanyu system so safe?"

"It can't be said that there are still many loopholes in Huanyu system. However, Huanyu technology makes our attacks useless through a series of methods."

Steve introduced to bill the latest security card, IP address locking, one click restore of Internet cafe management software... And so on.

Hearing this, Bill smiled bitterly: "I have to say that Huanyu technology's understanding of the Internet is far above us."

This is not modesty.

Although Microsoft is strong.

But the outside world has always regarded Microsoft as a software company.

Microsoft actually lacks Internet gene.

Although bill has been working hard in this area, he has made little profit.

At present, only MSN has performed better in the global market, and other Internet services have decreased significantly.

"Indeed."

Steve nodded, "but it's not our worst."

"Steve, what's more serious?"

"At present, Huanyu technology has joined forces with Sony, Oracle, AOL and other enterprises to launch attacks on our game business, instant messaging business and office software business."

"What?"

Bill was surprised.

You know, these competitors are not just single regional markets.

Like the Chinese side.

In fact, even if any business in China fails, it is only a regional market, and it will not affect the world.

But Sony, Oracle, AOL... A series of their businesses are global.

Once these businesses are overtaken by them, it will have a huge loss on Microsoft's cash flow.

In fact, there are some games like Microsoft attacking Huanyu technology at that time.

Although the core of Microsoft is the operating system.

But the operating system business may not be the most profitable.

In other words, although the operating system business makes money, they also invest a lot in this area.

Microsoft must also rely on a series of other businesses to provide profit support for them.

For example, instant messaging, office software and even game business relying on the operating system.

If these businesses are hit, it will also affect Microsoft's operating system business.

"Huanyu technology has made a good move."

"Yes, they began to counterattack."

"Steve, contact Chen Yu of Huanyu technology. I want to talk to him."

"Bill, I'd better go."

"No, I have to go myself."

"All right."

Steve knows that bill is nervous.
