Chapter 203 Investigation of Phoenix Group's entry into entity list

Mir's counterattack was obviously expected by Hu Lai.

As Microsoft, which monopolizes the global PC operating system, it would be strange if there is no action in the face of the emergence of Phoenix's future operating system.

but.

Hu couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the news.

"Now start developing the WIN X system?"

"Emergency launch of 200G cloud network disk service on WIN11 and WIN12 systems?"

"Is this Microsoft's counterattack?"

Hu Lai was secretly funny. Although Microsoft's reaction speed was very fast, such a counterattack was really painless and itchy for Phoenix, without any pressure.

I thought Microsoft would find some way to fight back against Phoenix's future operating system, but I didn't expect it.

That's it?

However, Hu Lai also knew in his heart that Microsoft really had no way to use Phoenix’s “future operating system”.

Microsoft can monopolize the PC operating system for so many years, the mature commercial WIN system is one aspect, and more importantly, the software ecosystem under the WIN system.

The decades of software ecosystem have given the WIN system a broad mass base and software supporting facilities, which is also the most insurmountable gap for any operating software to challenge Microsoft.

And what about the future operating system?

With its strong compatibility, it completely broke the moat that Microsoft has formed for decades.

In this way, without an ecological moat, the WIN system has no advantage in the future operating system and will completely compete fairly with the future operating system.

I'm afraid Microsoft headquarters is now having a headache.

...

I was right in thinking about it.

On the other side of the ocean, because of the emergence of Phoenix's future operating system, Microsoft headquarters has held a weekly meeting.

The entire board of directors still has great differences on how Microsoft deals with Phoenix operating system.

On this day, the conference hall of Microsoft headquarters was filled with Microsoft's senior management.

CEO Bitz, executive director, major shareholders, capital consortiums and senior technical personnel are all here.

At the beginning of the meeting, the secretary first reported the latest situation.

"BOSS, we have released the latest official announcement yesterday, and the WIN11 and WIN12 systems have also urgently updated the 200G cloud network disk function."

"Our WIN X system project has been officially launched and fully developed."

Bitz nodded. After watching the Phoenix Computer Conference ten days ago, after watching the future operating system, the entire Microsoft executives were completely shocked.

Without extra thought, Bitz quickly ordered the technical department to start researching and developing several functions proposed by Phoenix's "Future Operating System".

After more than ten days, although other functions have not been implemented, the network disk technology is not very difficult and will be launched in advance.

In addition, all Microsoft's senior management teams believed that the WIN system was a product of the 1990s after meetings, and the code already had unavoidable flaws in its underlying logic.

With the huge impact brought by the "future operating system", the new generation of WIN X system that has not been determined to develop has also been launched directly!

All of this is in an orderly manner. There is no disagreement between the whole company on the technical level, and they all agreed that it is urgent to accelerate the development of technology and the development of new systems.

But.

However, the senior executives of the board of directors have very different differences in how to restrict and counterattack the "future operating system" in the development of the Yanguo market.

Bitz looked around Microsoft's major shareholders and directors, pushed his glasses and spoke first:

"I think it is necessary for us to take advantage of the fact that the market size of the 'future operating system' is still very small to completely free the WIN system in Yanguo District. In this way, we can maximize the market share of our operating system."

"Although we will suffer financial losses when we have free WIN system, we can also obtain genuine authorized income through supporting office software, such as Word, office, etc."

"If the market share of the PC operating system is seized by the 'future operating system', the market we lose in the future will not only be the market share of the WIN system, but all the basic plates of our operating system will be lost!"

"and!"

"We not only need a free WIN system, but also need to join hands with most computer manufacturers to even provide them with some subsidies to allow them to limit the sales of Phoenix computers at a lower price!"

Bitz's tone is very tough. As Microsoft CEO, he strongly advocates strongly curbing the development of Phoenix's future operating system.

As soon as he finished speaking, a spokesperson for Goldman Sachs Capital, sitting above, objected:

"Mr. Beats, I think you're exaggerating."

"I have used Phoenix's 'future operating system', and I admit that it is really good, but according to my understanding, Phoenix Computers are now using their systems on their own computers."

"Also, I learned that many host manufacturers wanted to obtain the 'future operating system' authorization before, but they were eventually rejected by Phoenix Computer. In my opinion, Phoenix Computer did not intend to authorize the operating system to other host manufacturers."

"Hey, to put it an exaggeration, I think Phoenix Computer is at most the next Red Fruit Computer. They use independent chips and independent self-developed operating systems, which is not a big threat to Microsoft."

As the Goldman Sachs Capital spoke, Bits kept shaking his head, feeling full of displeasure.

The headquarters has held frequent high-level meetings these days in order to quickly come up with a way to deal with Phoenix Computer.

However, Wall Street Capital, led by Goldman Sachs Capital, has been sing a counter-topic and has always strongly opposed the free WIN system in Yanguo.

These capitalists have always refused to agree to the free WIN system in Yanguo District because they are unwilling to give up the huge profits brought by the WIN system!

They were lucky in their hearts and believed that Phoenix's "future operating system" would not be provided to other host manufacturers, but!

With Phoenix Computer's sales now showing its first glorious sales, it will probably not take long for Phoenix Computer's "future operating system" to occupy a certain share in Yanguo!

When Phoenix Computer really gains a foothold, it will definitely be a huge blow to Microsoft's WIN system!

Bitz was about to refute, but unexpectedly, a person opposite the conference table took the lead.

This person is the second largest shareholder of Microsoft and one of the founders Paul.

"Bitz, I understand your concerns. As you said, Phoenix is ​​a Yanguo enterprise. It is easier to promote future operating systems in Yanguo, but I also think it is too early to free the Yanguo WIN system.

”

"If we use the WIN system for free in Yanguo District, we will inevitably follow the free WIN system around the world. You must know that all host manufacturers now use our WIN system for hundreds of millions of laptops and all-in-one machines every year."

"Every time a host manufacturer produces a computer, it is necessary to pay us the genuine WIN system fee, not to mention that we have so many corporate customers and ZF institutions around the world, which can be counted as a revenue of tens of billions of dollars!"

"Just as Sean said just now, Phoenix Computers have only a few million units sold. Even if they can develop, it will be time for us to fight back after they are truly a little large!"

Paul spread his hands and continued:

"And, Bits, don't forget a little."

"Didn't we sign binding contracts with the world's top ten host manufacturers before? Under the huge liquidated damages, even if Phoenix Computer is willing to authorize the "future operating system", there is absolutely no host manufacturer willing to breach the contract, right!"

"However, I think it is feasible to give some subsidies to host manufacturers to limit the sales of Phoenix Computers in Yanguo as you say. Some necessary restrictions are still possible."

After Paul finished speaking, most shareholders on the board of directors could not help but nodded in agreement. As the founder of Microsoft and the second largest shareholder, Paul still has a relatively high prestige within the company.

Bitz's heart suddenly became cold. After Paul spoke out his opinion, he knew that his thoughts should be difficult to pass.

As expected.

Immediately afterwards, several spokespersons of capital consortiums and company executives expressed their opinions.

"I also agree with Mr. Paul that we really need to do now is to speed up the development of new systems and to supplement existing WIN systems."

"We have signed a two-year binding agreement with the host manufacturer. At least in the past two years, Phoenix operating system will not be widely promoted. We have enough time to improve the system and catch up."

"Even, we can completely imitate the functions of the future operating system. We can all imitate their APP stroe, antivirus software, and ecological interconnection; in short, we can upgrade the operating system first according to the future!"

"Yes, what Mr. Jack just said was a good idea. Our Microsoft WIN system has an absolute number of users around the world. We don't need too much innovation in technology. Just focus on the Phoenix operating system!"

Several shareholders did not want to give up the income from the Yanguo WIN system. At this moment, when they heard Paul and Jack's debate, their attitude was completely inclined to wait a little longer and not in a hurry.

It is indeed as Jack said, the future operating system is very strong, but Microsoft has a large number of users and does not even need to surpass technology. As long as it can imitate the functions of the future operating system, it can definitely stabilize its share.

Bitz frowned slightly, and he had considered the ideas that the shareholders on the board of directors said these days.

There may be no major problem with other companies in this way of handling it, but with his understanding of Phoenix these days, Phoenix is ​​definitely not as simple as it seems.

A small private enterprise can do a flash and move and make Zezra bruised and bruised, and can also develop a NB-Y architecture Tiger Leap chip with a supply cut off from Qualcomm. Isn’t that simple?

The Microsoft WIN system does have a huge number of users, but in Yanguo, the Microsoft WIN system does not make money from individual users at all, but it makes all the installations of corporate customers and host manufacturers.

If Phoenix makes efforts on the enterprise side, one is a cheap and easy-to-use Phoenix computer, and the other is an additional WIN system that requires genuine activation, who will the enterprise choose?

It is hard to say that corporate users will not be broken by Phoenix.

And more importantly, Jack said that he could imitate the functions of future operating systems...

joke.

Not to mention anything else, it is difficult for Microsoft to achieve sharing computing power and computing power networks at present.

At this time, most of the shareholders on the board of directors expressed their opinions, and after a round, everyone's eyes fell on CEO Bitz.

Bitz narrowed his eyes slightly and his mind was running rapidly. Although he was the CEO of Microsoft, this is the case for listed companies. It is not just that they just say it themselves, and the interests of all parties are affecting the company's decisions.

He knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to pass the WIN system's free resolution in Yanguo District at the board meeting today, so he simply did not mention the voting.

Bitz took the initiative to take a step back and did not continue to get involved in the free WIN system.
To be continued...
