Jobs's instinctive feeling is not good.
in a word? What does Lin Feng want to say? In this world, a word can do a thing, a word can do a bad thing. In a word, it can change the fate of a person's life, and even the fate of all mankind. Therefore, food can be eaten, words can not be said.
"What are you doing?" Jobs asked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiles. But in jobs' eyes, the smile is so evil.
"In fact, my request is really simple, that is, to admit that my" Pangu system "is good!" Lin Feng smiles.
Jobs immediately took a breath. This is not a simple sentence, but it is enough to change the current situation of Pangu system. At present, although Pangu system occupies a lot of market share, it is completely a game entertainment system. Although it has a very good performance in game entertainment, the industry agrees that it is inferior to Microsoft in terms of overall comparison with Microsoft system. It's just that Pangu system is opportunistic and focuses on game entertainment. For some reasons, Pangu system is better than Microsoft in game entertainment.
In this case, if Apple admits that Pangu system is good, it will be enough to break these rumors. You know, there are two giants in the operating system Market: Microsoft and apple. Although the market share of Apple's operating system is very low, it is because Apple's system is a closed system, and Microsoft's is a semi open system, so Apple's operating system has a low market share. However, the user satisfaction of Apple's operating system is higher than that of Microsoft.
If "Pangu system" can be praised by "apple", it will be extraordinary. This is tantamount to letting "apple" verify "Pangu system", which will be conducive to the competition between "Pangu system" and "Microsoft". Of course, if it's just making trouble for Microsoft, jobs will be happy. But he and Lin Feng also had a direct competitive relationship before. If he strongly supports Pangu system, Lin Feng will launch all kinds of electronic products in the future, such as mobile phones and laptops equipped with Pangu system. Isn't Apple throwing stones at its own feet.
Jobs shook his head. He can't do such a stupid thing. His vision is far away. Under the leadership of Lin Feng, Pangu system is still a little immature at present, but it is bound to be prosperous in the future. In the face of this potential future strong opponent, jobs must be cautious. Don't act rashly, which will lead to wrong step by step.
"Steve, if you don't agree, I can't compete with Microsoft in the front. You can take advantage of it in the back! That's too much to say. " Lin Fengmu.
"Lin, it's not apple that gains the most from defeating Microsoft. As far as the status quo of apple is concerned, we just need to be ourselves. And if you don't Beat Microsoft, you can't get a foothold in this market! " Jobs said calmly.
Since the beginning of its business, Apple has been based on doing itself well, and the rest of it doesn't care. Because Apple is a completely closed system, it doesn't communicate with the outside world at all, so jobs doesn't need to care whether Microsoft is strong or not. He just needs to care about whether Apple's products are creative enough and excellent enough.
"Yes, it's me who benefits most from defeating Microsoft, but don't forget, this time our battlefield is in the mobile battlefield. Hey hey, mobile phone market, Steve Jobs, I believe you should have studied this market, and you should know the potential of this market and the profit in the future! In this increasingly developed communication world, people can not use computers, do not watch movies, do not watch concerts, or even eat "KFC" or drink "Starbucks" coffee, but no one can say that they do not use mobile phones. Fixed line telephone, has been unable to meet the needs of today's human. Mobile phone is the most indispensable tool for human beings. " Lin Feng said.
Jobs agreed. Over the years, since his return to apple, he has been thinking about how to make apple the world's top high-tech company and how to create more profits for apple with Apple's technology. Jobs has launched Apple's notebook and music player. What's the next profit growth point?
Jobs' view is mobile phones. Of course, after the mobile phone, jobs has a lot of ideas, but these are all things in the future. What he has to do now is to maximize the profits of the "iPhone".
"See, you agree with me. If we want to dominate the mobile phone market and maximize the profits of mobile phones, we must face rivals like Samsung and Microsoft. Samsung, we deal with it together, but I have to deal with Microsoft myself. Steve, do you think it's fair? " Lin Feng said.
Jobs frowned. It seems that Lin Feng doesn't achieve his goal and will never give up. After thinking about it, jobs reluctantly made a decision.
"The most I can do is to admit in private that the Pangu system is good. If I go beyond that, I will quit. It's a big deal. We'll do our own business, and the alliance agreement will be abolished! " Jobs made a tough decision.
Lin Feng hears the speech, immediately faint smile.
"Yes, it's up to you. I hope we can cooperate happily and dominate the mobile phone market in the future Lin Feng stretched out his right hand.
"Dominate the world!" Jobs wanted to hold Lin Feng's hand, but he swore he would never shake hands with Lin Feng again when he thought that Lin Feng had cheated him last time when they were fighting for the MP3 market.
"Pa!" With a loud voice, jobs and Lin Feng clapped their hands, but did not shake hands with them.
Lin Feng a Leng, then understand. This jobs, really stingy, that is a few years ago the old rotten sesame thing, actually still remember in my heart, very stingy.
Old sesame? Steve Jobs's forehead was about to burst. At that time, Lin Feng used David to play Infernal Affairs, which almost made him unable to work at Apple. Is this old sesame? If it wasn't for the end, with the help of music copyright, jobs would be in Hollywood now to continue to instigate his "Pixar".
"Well, Larry, I'll go first. Call me if you have something! By the way, my Pixar has released several more animations, which will be shown exclusively in your cinema After saying hello to Ellison, jobs turned around and left without looking at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. So independent, so clear-cut, this is jobs.
"Well, Larry, thank you very much today. Steve's gone. What are we going to eat? " Lin Feng turns to look at Ellison.
"Well, I think we can celebrate today. This time Microsoft has a headache. " Ellison laughed. "I heard that there is a Chinese restaurant with authentic Sichuan cuisine. I'm a little addicted to Sichuan cuisine recently. It's really spicy. Let's go and eat Sichuan food! "
"Ha ha, I didn't expect you to like Sichuan cuisine. I thought you always liked sushi and sashimi Lin fengxiao said.
Ellison had been in contact with Japanese culture before, and highly praised Japanese bushido spirit and Japanese culture. Although he was a good friend with Lin Feng, he never concealed his friendship with Japan. Of course, in recent years, imperceptibly, Ellison is less interested in Japan and has become interested in Chinese culture. But in terms of diet, Ellison always goes to a Japanese meal every week.
"Ha ha, recently I watched an issue of" China on the tip of the tongue "and was attracted by the Chinese food culture inside. Lin, this program is really good! I think it can be introduced to the United States. Don't you have a TV station? You can play it on your TV station! I'm sure many Americans will be interested. " Ellison said.
Lin Feng laughed in his heart. This "China on the tip of the tongue" was filmed at my own expense to promote Chinese food culture and, of course, to make money. But I don't want to tell Ellison for the time being. I'll tell Ellison when I open the first high-end Chinese restaurant in the United States and give him a surprise.
Lin Feng's goal is to let Chinese culture really go to the world. Now, it's just the beginning.
When Lin Feng and Ellison went to eat Sichuan cuisine, Microsoft headquarters fell into a dispute.
"Mr. Ballmer, as the president of Microsoft, you agree to such ridiculous conditions. Don't you think you are not qualified for this position?" Several shareholders denounced the decision brought back by Ballmer to recognize the status of "Pangu system". In their view, this is tantamount to letting Microsoft hand over the operating system market to Lin Feng. This is something they can never accept.
"Please don't get angry, everyone. I believe you should know the whole story. Now we don't know for a moment. Lin Feng has taken advantage of it and spent US $1.05 billion to buy a shell of NVIDIA. If this news is announced, the stock price will definitely plummet, and the final result is similar to admitting that Pangu system is an excellent operating system. " Ballmer was a bit down in the dumps. It's a great shame for Ballmer to be put together by Lin Feng. This is unacceptable to him.
"But even so, we must not admit that the Pangu system is a good system."‘ Microsoft's chief operating officer raised his voice.
"Yes, that's it!" Many executives are shouting. They can't accept this. It's absolutely unacceptable for Microsoft to admit that Lin Feng's Pangu system is good. never!
"However, if so, our company will definitely suffer a setback!" Ballmer also knows that he can't accept Lin Feng's ridiculous condition, but the price of not accepting it is too high. He has been weighing and comparing all the way back from Ellison's company. He found that admitting the "Pangu system" is a reasonable act. Although "Microsoft" has admitted that "Pangu system" is equivalent to having a "legal identity", even so, "Pangu system" can not compete with "Microsoft" without the support of a large number of third-party software. On the contrary, the news that "Microsoft has bought an empty shell" NVIDIA will be suppressed. In the end, Lin Feng will cause a lot of trouble.
After all, the core business of "NVIDIA" is graphics card. If the graphics card cannot be exposed, it will be very difficult to sell in its market. The market is ever-changing. Microsoft can take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with Intel to develop new graphics cards and launch them into the market, breaking the previous situation that ATI and NVIDIA jointly dominated the graphics card market.
Ballmer's consideration is to take a long-term view, compromise first, and then work with patience. But these shareholders are not willing to lower this arrogant head, which makes Ballmer a little difficult to choose.
"Everyone, I know what you think. I don't want to be accepted by Lin Feng. But everything has two sides. If he wants us to recognize the status of Pangu system by hiding the core business of NVIDIA in Ellison's hands, it will only bring trouble to him and make NVIDIA lose its market value in the future. And we can launch a genuine "NVIDIA" graphics card. We need to know that the brand of "NVIDIA" is in our hands. At that time, the trouble will be Lin Feng. Not us! Therefore, we only need to be patient for a while to give Lin Feng a fatal blow. But if we don't bear it, the company will suffer heavy losses. The conservative estimate is that the share price will be at least 13% lower, and it will bring a series of follow-up effects. " Ballmer persuades shareholders.
"No, we will not! We will never agree to such a thing! Our operating system is the best in the world. Let's admit that Lin Feng's grandstanding, flashy and useless operating system, which has no software, is better to kill us! " Many shareholders are shouting.
Ballmer was helpless. Although he is the president of Microsoft, such an important matter must be recognized by these shareholders, otherwise he will not be able to carry out it.
But he could only look at Bill Gates.
"What do you think, bill?" Asked Ballmer.
Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft, and his words are decisive. As long as Bill Gates agrees, these people will compromise even if they disagree. This is the status of a company founder. Of course, it's a low probability event for apple to drive away its founders. In Silicon Valley, many companies have gone bankrupt in recent years. But after the development of the company, the founder was driven away, and jobs really happened.
Bill Gates stood up and looked around.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Microsoft has always been the best company in the industry. We have always been the first software company in the world. So, we have our pride, we have our dignity. Lin Feng, a semi monk, can never be recognized by us. We must not bow to Lin Feng! " Bill Gates raised his voice.
"Yes, never bow to Lin Feng!" Many shareholders and executives immediately yelled angrily.
"Bill!" Ballmer was surprised. He didn't expect that Bill Gates would see it the same way.
"Steve, don't get excited. Listen to me!" Bill Gates came up to Ballmer.
"I admit that your plan is very operational, and it is also the most rational plan, which can reduce the loss of Microsoft to the greatest extent. I also believe that we can beat Lin Feng in the future according to your plan. But, Ballmer, we are the number one software company in the industry, we are the number one in the world! Since we are number one in the world, we should have the momentum of being number one in the world. We must not compromise! Never compromise! Never Bill Gates cried out, "once we compromise, we lose the pride we have, the dignity we have. So in the future, when other companies or the second Lin Feng challenge us, will we also choose to avoid it? So, to hell with Lin Feng's threat
Bill Gates's words were impassioned, and all of them were enthusiastic. Including Ballmer, he is also full of the power to fight against Lin Feng. But reason told him that it would be really miserable. This time, Lin Feng held the handle of Microsoft, so he made such a request. Is it really worth fighting with Lin Feng like this?
"Steve, believe in Microsoft. You have to believe that no matter what difficulties Microsoft faces, Microsoft will win in the end. In the past, apple and IBM were laughing at us! What's the final result? Our company has become the IT company with the highest share price, and our company has become a company that changes the world! Steve, believe in Microsoft, believe in yourself! We will be able to get through this Bill Gates said confidently.
Ballmer bowed his head. He has agreed with what Bill Gates said, but there is still something in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although Ballmer is in charge of this empty shell incident, I am too excited to defeat Lin Feng and put too much pressure on Ballmer to make such an impulsive decision. So, I will be responsible for this empty shell incident. I will concentrate on the company's software development work, will no longer interfere in the operation of any company. From today on, I will withdraw from the board of directors and no longer attend company meetings. " Bill Gates announced his decision to the public, "here, I urge you to give Ballmer a chance to continue to lead Microsoft. I believe he is the most suitable person on the planet to lead Microsoft!"
"Bill!" The crowd exclaimed.
"Well, everybody, someone has to be responsible for this, and I'm the most suitable person. So please don't persuade me. In short, as long as we all unite, we will certainly be able to tide over the difficulties and not let Lin Feng exploit the loopholes! " Bill Gates raised his voice.
"Bill, what are you doing! You're the founder of the company. You don't attend the board of directors. That's... "Ballmer laughs bitterly.
"Steve, you should know me best, but I hate meetings. I was tired of meetings long ago. Therefore, it is not humiliation but relief for me not to come. Ha ha, it's just that it's a heavy burden for you. In the future, you will be responsible for more things. " Bill Gates patted Ballmer on the shoulder and said with a smile, "of course, I feel a kind of crisis coming to us. The sense of crisis is not Lin Feng, but the sense of crisis of the times. We're too comfortable. There is an old Chinese saying that we should die of hardship and happiness. I want to focus all my attention on software development, so not attending the board of directors will also help my research. "
Ballmer thought and nodded heavily.
"Bill, don't worry, I will make Microsoft continue to be strong, and no matter who the opponent is, it will be our loser! No matter five years, ten years, twenty years or even a hundred years later, I will make Microsoft still stand on the top of the world's software empire Ballmer regained strong confidence. He wants to defeat Lin Feng head-on. He wants to let Lin Feng know that the dignity of Microsoft can never be humiliated!
"That's it! Steve, that's what I want to see. Confidence, we Microsoft people must be absolutely confident Bill Gates laughed.
"By the way, I'll introduce you to someone." At this time, Bill Gates introduced a person to Ballmer.
"Steve, this is Steven sinovsky. He is the deputy director of the business unit. He has been studying the windows system. He is one of the talents of our company. However, he has been working in the software department before and seldom attended such occasions, so you may not know him. " Bill Gates introduced a balding middle-aged man to Ballmer.
"Hello, Mr. sinovsky. Do you have any good suggestions?" Ballmer held out his right hand.
At this time, Bill Gates introduced such a man to himself and praised him as a genius, which made Ballmer feel that there must be something unusual about this man, otherwise Bill Gates would not introduce him at this time.
"Hello, Mr. Ballmer. I always like to study the operating system software. After the introduction of Vista, due to its system has been no reason, too much of the system resources, resulting in high efficiency and low performance. My team and I have been working on how to improve this. Yesterday, we finally developed several patches to solve the problem of "Vista" system's low efficiency. As long as we put on these patches, our "Vista" system may not be more efficient than XP, but it will never be like now. No matter how powerful the computer is, it will not be able to operate "Vista" perfectly. " Steven sinovsky is serious.
what! Improve "Vista"! Hearing this, Ballmer was excited. You know, the main advertising slogan of Pangu system is aimed at the high efficiency and low performance of Vista. If you can overcome this, you will have the strongest weapon against Pangu system with gorgeous interface!
Excellent! That's great news!
"Also, Mr. Ballmer, our team has been ordered by Mr. Gates to develop a new operating system - win7, which will be better than all operating systems!"( It's not finished yet.
