God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 303 The Era of Dropouts

Chen Weidong was not afraid that Bill would not submit obediently. The conditions he proposed should be the most fair shareholding plan under the current circumstances.

He needs to enter the American market without hindrance, and then spread out, so that Infinity's computer operating system becomes the only standard for personal computer operating systems in the world.

At that time, those software and hardware manufacturers will all depend on their faces.

Otherwise, it is directly an "incompatibility".

Bill also needs this operating system to resist other competitors.

Moreover, this software was completely designed by Infinity Company, and Chen Weidong belonged to the strong side.

But considering Microsoft's current market value, Chen Weidong didn't push too hard. He just exchanged 30% of the equity of the newly established Infinity Software Company for 15% of Microsoft.

At the same time, he also took a fancy to Bill's super management ability.

So there is no interest in vying for control of Microsoft.

The software engineers of Infinity Corporation design the software first-rate, but run the company only at the second-rate level.

If Chen Weidong is really among his own people, before they grow up, he will push them to the foreground.

Faced with the old guys in the United States who are looking around, they will only do it step by step, and they don't know when they will be able to dominate the operating system market.

If the local protectionism of the United States is added, perhaps in Chen Weidong's lifetime, the operating system of Infinity Corporation will not be seen monopolizing the market.

Although Bill agreed to Chen Weidong's request in principle, Microsoft is a listed company, and he is not the only one who has the final say.

At the very least, the consent of other major shareholders is also required.

Chen Weidong left it to him to discuss. He didn't care whether it was intentional delay or sincere intention to persuade shareholders to cooperate.

As time goes by, their operating systems will occupy an increasing market share.

When the time comes, it will be the other party, not him, who will be anxious.

In fact.

The situation is better than he imagined.

Less than a week after Bill went back, facing the sharp decline in software sales, he couldn't sit still at all. He acted hastily and held a shareholders' meeting.

When Microsoft was first established, the company belonged only to him and his high school alumni - Paul Allen

The shares of the two are 60% and 40% respectively.

However, in 1986, for better development, the company was turned into a public company, and he only retained 45% of the shares to ensure control of the company.

Of course, the company's board of directors also recognized Bill's management ability very much, and never made him feel sorry for him in any way, and this time was no exception.

The computer industry in the United States is keenly aware that Microsoft is losing ground under the attack of a Chinese company.

The monthly sales volume of Windows XP dropped sharply from 20 sets to [-] sets in mid-April. Moreover, most of these [-] sets are from overseas markets, and the domestic market has almost shrunk to extinction!
The worse news is that European software sellers also heard about the operating system designed by Infinity, and they went to China one after another to try to buy this software.

Once European sellers buy this powerful operating system, the sales of Microsoft's Windows XP will come to a complete standstill and become garbage that no one wants for free!
Those software companies that were bullied by Microsoft and forced to withdraw from the market were all secretly laughing. Seeing Microsoft's embarrassment, they all had a bad feeling.

This includes Apple.

Apple's computers have always been incompatible with IBM. They proudly make their computers unique and not compatible with other manufacturers.

But in the competition, open things are bound to be more sought after.

By opening up its computer structure, IBM attracted a large number of hardware manufacturers to participate, thus creating the term "compatible machine".

Computer manufacturers and accessory manufacturers all over the world have abandoned Apple's closed environment and devoted themselves to the research and development of IBM x86 chipsets.

As a result, Big Blue overwhelmed Apple and became a pivotal role in the personal computer industry.

But it is precisely because of this that, including the world's software vendors, all of them are based on X86 products.

Infinity's operating system also fully supports the X86 chipset.

Therefore, Apple can finally laugh at their competitors in a relatively safe place, and was beaten to the ground by a Chinese company.

They are not worried that Infinity Corporation's operating system will pose a threat to them.

Because they know very well that this is America!

For Microsoft, which is also an American company, they will be afraid of the merciless competition, but they will look on coldly at a foreign company, especially Huaxia Company.

April [-]th.

The "Washington Post" began to publish articles, worrying about the computer operating system developed by Huaxia entering the American market on a large scale.

The article pointed out: "If each of our computers is installed with an operating system designed by Huaxia, and it is a closed system that is not open source to us, how can we know whether they have left a "back door" in the system? Once they try to steal our intelligence, we will be powerless to resist."

Someone took the lead, and in the following days, there were more and more such articles.

A large number of local American newspapers have joined the ranks of criticism.

They appealed to the relevant agencies that the operating system produced by Huaxia Company should not be allowed to continue to occupy the American market unscrupulously.

In order to protect the security of America, strong means should be used to completely uninstall Infinity's operating system from America's computers!

April 26.

The spokesperson for the press affairs of the United States, also at the press conference, cryptically stated when answering questions from reporters:

The United States absolutely does not allow anything that may endanger federal security to happen.

Just when this trend intensified and was about to expand to other areas, Microsoft held a press conference and announced that it had formed a strategic partnership with Infinity.

They will jointly develop a new generation of personal computer operating system!

The American media fell silent for a while.

Microsoft, which was the most suppressed by Huaxia Company, became the first person to speak for Huaxia Company? !
This really makes it difficult for many American people to understand.

After that, there were still a large number of media criticizing and criticizing in the newspapers, feeling worried and angry about the entry of Infinity's operating system into the American personal computer market.

And some media stopped further attacks on Infinity Company under Microsoft's high-priced public relations.

soon.

An unconfirmed news began to circulate on the Internet.

According to the news, Microsoft's move is also a last resort and bears the burden of humiliation.

They are going to cooperate with Infinity's software department to develop this set of the best personal software in the world, and make it a safe software that American people can use with confidence.

Many people start thinking.

Looking back, Microsoft spent five years of hard work, how difficult and exciting it was to develop Windows XP.

Then consider the reality that Microsoft has been suppressed by Infinity Corporation recently.

Many people choose to believe.

It is impossible for a powerful company like Microsoft to tolerate a Huaxia company that has always been on top of him.

Believe that his move is just a stopgap measure!
Of course, there are also many people who are still skeptical about this, and feel uneasy about Huaxia's operating system occupying the American PC market.

The media, who are not optimistic about the cooperation between Microsoft and Infinity, still try their best to slander Infinity in the newspapers.

However, Microsoft's reputation in the United States is not bad.

He has always quietly played the role of providing a cheap and reliable operating system to the American people.

At the same time, Microsoft also donates large sums of political donations to voters of different factions every year.

Under Microsoft's vigorous public relations, the mainstream media gradually died down, and some tabloids that were still promoting the threat theory were unable to cause enough disturbance.

In this way, in the conflicted mentality of the American people.

In [-], May [-]st.

At the New York City Theater Center, the place where Microsoft released Windows XP half a year ago, an equally grand conference was held here.

Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Ballmer and other senior executives of Microsoft, as well as the heads of the program department, together with Chen Weidong, Chen Jie, the head of the software department Lu Zhanhai, and other key personnel of Infinity Computer Company appeared in front of the public .

Even Song Yunjiang, the general manager of the Xiangjiang branch, was notified in advance and rushed over by special plane.

Now, he is also a well-known figure in Hong Kong, and he is ranked in the top [-] on the "Forbes" Hong Kong Rich List.

In particular, he was able to achieve today's achievements, and the behemoth behind him is also something that people like to talk about.

Brother Jie, it has been a long time since he appeared in Xiangjiang.

There is almost no news of him in the world.

Especially some time ago, when the mainland was distributing money, they didn't send it to the people of Xiangjiang!It caused his fans in Xiangjiang to mourn, and they all said on the Internet: "Brother Jie, don't forget where he made his fortune!"

"Don't forget your parents and folks!"

"Xiangjiang is your real home!"
