Usually going from O to 1 is the hardest.
It can be from 1 to 1, or 1 to 2, which is much simpler.
The operating system is difficult, but not so difficult that other companies and countries cannot develop it.
For example, Linux was developed by individuals and published on the Internet in 1991.
Everyone can see the potential of the Fission and WINGDS95 operating systems. With their current popularity, they are likely to become the two mainstream operating platforms, and other computer software will be placed on them.
So the importance goes without saying.
If the crackdown on piracy is too strict, it may spur countries like Russia to build their own computer operating platforms.
Then not only will we lose the national market, but we will also gain an additional computer operating platform and a competitor.
This is undoubtedly very detrimental to both Banana Computer and Microsoft.
But the problem is that as the crackdown on piracy becomes more severe, countries like Russia may develop their own operating platforms.
But if we don’t crack down hard on piracy, all we will lose is green dollars.
James and the other three frowned for a moment, in a dilemma?
The expensive red wine in the glass and the top-quality cigar in the hand no longer smell good.
Xia Yang sipped the red wine and said with a smile, "Okay, guys, don't be blinded by greed and take a long-term view. I know you have already made your choice, so decide."
With the shrewdness of the three James, they naturally know which choice is the most correct and beneficial.
That is to allow piracy and allow countries in Russia to use Fission and Microsoft operating systems almost free of charge, so that these two operating platforms can quickly occupy the market and users.
After a long time, users will get used to it, and there will be enough software on both platforms.
By then, even if countries like Russia develop their own operating platforms, no one will use them.
That's when big money is made.
Just letting piracy go, to put it simply, how much profit will be lost.
The three of them also wanted to take a longer-term view, but that would require a large profit.
In fact, Xia Yang couldn't bear to part with it. You must know that the current retail prices of Fission and Microsoft's WINGDS operating systems cost more than two hundred dollars a set.
Just imagine how many dollars they will lose if piracy is allowed.
"Can we only allow piracy to seize the market and users first?"
James was still unwilling.
The same is true for Theodore and Julius.
Originally, Xia Yang was called here to discuss price reductions and prevent other companies from giving up developing desktop operating system platforms. Unexpectedly, Xia Yang raised the most troublesome problem as soon as he arrived, and the only solution was to allow piracy.
Xia Yang shook his head, "Maybe there are other good ways, but I can't think of it."
James and the other two were immediately speechless. Xia Yang's words were too modest.
The wealth of the four people here is enough to show how good their brains are, but they can't think of a better way, so it only means that there is no better way at all.
"Well, in order to seize the market, we can only allow piracy and let countries like Russia use our products for free. In the words of the Xia people, turn a blind eye or close an eye."
When saying this, James blinked at Xia Yang with pride.
He is proud that he can also speak Xia dialect.
However, Xia Yang turned his face away and pretended not to see it.
Lawson, Nawaf and others learned from Xia Wen just to communicate with him better.
But James, an old fox, should be careful if he imitates Xia Wen.
After all, the easiest way to understand a person is to understand the culture of his country.
"It seems that this is the only way. Countries that are cheaper than Russia can use our good products without spending a penny. In this way, the price of operating systems sold to other computer companies will also be reduced."
Theodore looked like he was struggling and aching again, and he was about to lose a large amount of profits.
After all, in order to seize the market, the Fission and WINGDS operating systems sold to other computer companies naturally have to be reduced in price to dispel the idea of developing their own operating systems.
"Lower it, it's all for the sake of the market."
Xia Yang nodded in affirmation.
James both agreed.
All four of them agreed that they would turn a blind eye to the subsequent piracy of Banana Computer and Microsoft, and the resulting losses would be in the hundreds of millions.
However, the four of them are all powerful enough to afford the loss. To put it bluntly, with the strength of the four of them, even if both fission operating platforms are made available for free, they can still afford to lose.
"Okay, guys, don't be sad, our days of making big money are coming later."
James stood up and toasted in celebration.
This time the four of them happily reached an agreement without any disagreement in the process.
This undoubtedly shows that the four of them are not short-sighted people. They are all wolves, ruthless and ferocious enough.
In order to seize the market, we quickly reached an agreement to make Fission and WINGDS95, two popular products, almost free or at a reduced price, so that company can withstand it.
The four of them stood up together, clinked their glasses, and drank the red wine in one gulp.
Xia Yang was also very satisfied with this negotiation. What was even more satisfying was that unlike Damon, the three James were real wolves, and they were all very aggressive.
But this is good for him, because being with wolves allows him to maintain vigilance and wolf nature.
"In addition to price reduction, please communicate with Dell and HP and try to avoid non-commercial conflicts."
After sitting down again, Xia Yang said something to James.
There are consortiums all over the world, especially the United States, which has the largest number of consortiums. In addition to the top ten consortiums such as Childe and Rockefey, there are also many small consortiums.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for four people to completely control the entire Internet and computer-related industries.
Behind these two companies, Dell and HP, are Citigroup, Chicago, Boston and other consortiums.
In fact, Apple and Xia Yang are not major shareholders.
So Xia Yang asked James to communicate and ask the consortium behind Dell and HP not to touch the operating system cake.
They have all cut prices and made profits. If the consortium behind Dell and HP still wants to touch the operating system cake, it will be unhappy.

Some people say that the more mature the market, the better it is allocated.
The words are so, but how to distribute them.
That's how it's distributed.
If business methods don't work, then just look at the methods behind the scenes. If you win, take the cake, and if you lose, get out.
After listening to Xia Yang's words, James nodded, "I have made an appointment with Stephen from Citigroup. I believe we will have a pleasant meeting."
James had a smile on his face, but there was something sinister about it no matter how he looked at it.
Obviously, if the conversation is unpleasant, then something needs to be done.
After all, Dell and HP are quite tempting.
Dell's main business includes computers, servers, data storage equipment, etc.
In addition to computers, HP also offers printing and imaging systems, enterprise computers and related services, etc.
It happens to be related to communications and computers.
So don't say, James three.
Xia Yang was quite greedy.
"Well, you are natives of the United States after all. I'll leave this matter to you and I won't get involved. But if you need me anywhere, just let me know."
Xia Yang made a phone call gesture to James.
The meaning of the words is very obvious. When grabbing meat, he can help grab it together.
The three of them, James, naturally understood and laughed a few times together.
Next, it depends on whether Citigroup and several financial groups understand each other and don't let them find excuses.
It would be okay if the Citigroup companies don't take the operating system cake, otherwise the four of them wouldn't mind at all and have two companies, HP and Dell, under their names.
"OK, I'll let you know when the time comes. I hope everything goes well."
James said that everything was going well, but his eyes were like wolves. All fools knew that he wished that the Citigroup conglomerates were ignorant and allowed him to find an excuse to launch an attack and swallow up HP and Dell.
The same goes for Julius and Theodore.
And since Xia Yang asked James to call him when he had something to do, he was naturally prepared to grab meat.
"By the way, the three of us recently invested in a health company. Do you want to buy a share?"
Julius suddenly remembered and asked Xia Yang if he wanted to invest in a health company with them.
If ordinary people hear about health companies, they will definitely sneer at them. If health companies are worth investing in, they will definitely not make money.
It is true that health companies not only fail to make money, they also lose money.
