Chapter 2022: Three Major Resources Battle Against Microsoft

Chapter 22 Three major resources battle against Microsoft

Jobs's words were not so much a challenge as a way to vent a kind of domineering power, a kind of "Apple" domineering power. Although this kind of domineering attitude has caused dissatisfaction among many mobile phone companies, it is undoubtedly extremely in line with the mentality of consumers selected by Apple.

Apple products are always expensive, and its target consumer group is white-collar people with successful careers. These people have achieved certain achievements in their careers, so they all wish that the things they use are unique in the world, even if they are not. To be unique, it must at least be a high-quality product, something that can be separated from those used by ordinary people. Jobs's declaration undoubtedly gave consumers the feeling that "Apple" products are the best.

"Boss, it's all my fault this time, I accept the punishment!" Wu Zhaopu was dejected.

"Mr. Wu, why are you so downcast? Android was snatched away by Jobs, so we will definitely lose!" Lin Feng saw Wu Zhaopu's frustrated look, patted Wu Zhaopu on the shoulder, and laughed, "Although Steve Jobs Awesome, but not enough to make me bow down!”

Wu Zhaopu was stunned.

"Boss, do you have any other clever ideas?" Wu Zhaopu's mind suddenly became active. His boss is not an ordinary powerful one, and he might actually have another clever plan.

"Haha, Mr. Wu, this is the contract I signed." Lin Feng handed the contract to Wu Zhaopu.

Wu Zhaopu couldn't wait to read it, and immediately patted her thigh and praised it - "I want it!"

"Boss, this is a great move. It even made Steve Jobs feel depressed. Haha, no wonder Steve Jobs held such a grand celebration banquet. He dared to feel defeated by you." Wu Zhaopu laughed loudly, sweeping away the decadence just now.

Isn't it? Since ancient times, this copyright buyout has naturally meant all copyrights. How could someone like Lin Feng forcefully dig out a big mouthful of fat from Steve Jobs's mouth? This was so satisfying!

"Hehe, not only that, I also hired all the employees of 'Android'. Although the founder is missing, I have packaged all its partners, so that's the same." Lin Feng was also quite proud. This last flash of inspiration brought me a lot of benefits.

Isn't "Android" designed and developed by these 8 people? In the future, I will give it dozens of people, let these 8 people carry it, and then change "Android" into a new look, wouldn't it be "Niuzhuo", "Ma "Zhuo"! Of course, although this involves a small copyright issue, Lin Feng believes that this is not a big problem. After all, "Apple" bought "Android" and froze it, plus it was based on 1.0, so as long as it was made plausible, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"alright,

Mr. Wu, please arrange these 8 people to our company's "software development department" and let them serve as the main designers responsible for developing our operating system. "Lin Feng ordered.

Wu Zhaopu nodded.

"By the way, let's have a meeting later and I'll give them a word." Lin Feng suddenly remembered that he hadn't met the employees of the "Software Development Department" yet, so he took this opportunity to go and have a look today.

Wu Zhaopu naturally wished for this. The "Software Development Department" has had no results since its establishment. According to the "second world" salary reward system, if you don't have achievements, you will only get a basic salary. Seeing that the monthly bonuses for employees in other departments are higher than their salaries, do you think the "software department" can not be anxious or jealous? Therefore, appropriate mental encouragement is also necessary. And Si's best spiritual encouragement master is naturally none other than Lin Feng. Originally, Wu Zhaopu was considering when to ask Lin Feng to encourage the "software development department". Now that Lin Feng has taken the initiative, it would be perfect.

"In that case, let me lead them now." Lin Feng did not hesitate and directly led eight former "Android" employees into the "software development department" together with Wu Zhaopu.

When they first entered the "Software Development Department", the eight former "Android" employees behind Lin Feng were dumbfounded. In the past, they were in the entrepreneurial stage of "Android" and the environment was relatively harsh. Including Robin, there were nine people in total, and they were squeezed into a room with a radius of only more than 20 square meters to design. The environment was not to mention harsh. At this moment, what caught their eyes was a huge space with a radius of thousands of square meters. Each designer was separated by a separate small office space, but it did not affect the direct communication with each other. This was not the point, the point was that everywhere Various leisure and entertainment facilities can be seen, including billiard tables, table tennis tables, and indoor golf. These numerous entertainment facilities almost make people feel that they are in a leisure and entertainment hotel instead of working in an office.

Lin Feng glanced at the eight shocked "Android" employees behind him and felt slightly proud. In the past, when Lin Feng went to the headquarters of Microsoft, Yahoo, etc., he would always envy other people's headquarters. Now his own headquarters is also enviable.

Although the headquarters of "Microsoft" cover a large area, are green everywhere, and can see the sky when looking up, Lin Feng thinks that his own headquarters is not bad. Although it is not a manor-like building with a large area, it stands high in the center of Shanghai, and employees can easily look out into the distance from the window. How comfortable it is. Especially when he opens the window, the sea breeze blows slowly, and he smells the salty smell of the waves. Lin Feng believes that this is no worse than the office environment of the manor.

"Okay, everyone, please come here!" Lin Feng clapped his hands and summoned all the employees of the "Software Development Department".

Currently, there are a total of employees in the "Software Development Department" who have been responsible for developing the exclusive operating system for the "Second World". However, after more than a year, the only achievement is that "Dream" is named as the handheld operating system of "Mother Nest". However, as of now, if the operating system is only used as a handheld to copy games and watch movies, it is fine, but if you want to fully utilize the cross-century performance of "Dream", it will not work. And because it is an open operating system, many hackers want to develop it into a miniature handheld computer.

But the result is that once too much software is installed (not too much), the system will be blocked and some inexplicable problems will occur, which will not only cause the hardware to be unable to drive, but may even directly cause the hardware to semi-permanently freeze, and special repair tools must be used to repair it. Because of this, the "Mother Nest" system has been criticized by hackers from the outside world. And these employees are naturally ashamed. Therefore, everyone's face is filled with bad luck.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged! After all, 'Dream' was originally positioned as a handheld game console. Although the 'Nest' system has many shortcomings, its performance is still very outstanding as a handheld game console." Lin Feng naturally understood what these designers were frustrated about, and immediately encouraged them.

When everyone heard Lin Feng's words, their faces only improved a little. Indeed, if the "Dream" is used as a handheld console alone, the performance of the "Nest" is still very satisfactory. But the performance of the "Dream" is so strong that if it is only used as a handheld game console, it would be a waste of performance.

"Don't worry, it takes time to open the system, this is not something that can be rushed." Although Lin Feng was anxious in his heart, in another three months, he would have a system war with "Microsoft". If the system was still not satisfactory, it would be impossible for Lin Feng not to be anxious. But reprimanding these designers now would only add to their burden.

"So, this time I invited eight design elites to join our team. They jointly developed the 'Android' system, and this 'Android' system was sold for a total of 10,000 US dollars. I believe that their joining will definitely bring us new ideas and rich experience." Lin Feng said, introducing the eight people one by one to all the employees of the "Software Development Department".

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Lin Feng's words. "Android" is the hottest word recently. Under the dual publicity of the "Apple" celebration banquet and the press conference, "Android" immediately became a household name. People in the i industry are all guessing what the charm of "Android" is that it can be sold for a full 10,000 US dollars, and it has attracted the three giants Lin Feng, Jobs and Larry Page to compete for it.

Now that the eight (almost all) developers of "Android" have joined the company and joined the "Software Development Department", it is like a long-awaited rain for these designers who are stuck in a bottleneck!

Immediately, some people couldn't help but start to consult about the design concept and related design purposes of "Android". The atmosphere suddenly became heated. Lin Feng stood aside with a smile, tacitly agreeing to everyone's conversation. This is an instinctive exchange between new and old employees, which helps them communicate and recognize each other, and is of great benefit to the eight employees from "Android" to integrate into this group. Otherwise, if there is a confrontation between the new and old employees, it will be terrible.

Half an hour later, seeing that everyone was talking endlessly, Lin Feng had to interrupt everyone.

"Everyone, I want to announce something here. I think you should all know that 'Microsoft' will launch their new operating system in July - '', everyone knows it!" Lin Feng looked at everyone.

Everyone nodded. This is a big event in the software industry. How could people in the industry not know about it. Immediately, someone discussed the various features of this "".

"Our company will also launch an operating system in three months, not for handheld game consoles, not for mobile phones, but for personal computers. I want to challenge 'Microsoft'!" Lin Feng said word by word.

As a result, after Lin Feng finished speaking, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent. They had been working on it for so long, and they had always thought that it was for a "handheld game console" or a "mobile phone" operating system, and never thought that it would be for a personal computer operating system (in order to keep it secret and not let "Microsoft" know in advance, this matter has always been top secret in the "Second World"). This is challenging the authority of "Microsoft"!

"What? Is "Microsoft" so scary that you dare not challenge it?" Lin Feng knew that everyone was afraid of "Microsoft"'s dominance in the system world when he saw the look in everyone's eyes. Since "Microsoft" launched the "Windows System", it has been almost invincible. Even the once glorious "Apple" has declined because of "Microsoft". If it weren't for the return of Jobs, I'm afraid "Apple" would have been acquired by "Microsoft" now.

You say, how could Lin Feng want to challenge such a terrible enemy? Is our boss crazy? ——All employees looked at Lin Feng in surprise. If it weren't for Lin Feng's great prestige in the company, I'm afraid someone would have publicly questioned Lin Feng's decision.

"What? Are you all scared and dare not say anything?" Lin Feng looked around and said coldly. If his employees were all in this state, it would be impossible to challenge "Microsoft". Therefore, he had to inspire everyone's confidence first.

Everyone looked at each other, all with disbelief, and they absolutely did not believe that the company could challenge "Microsoft", but they did not have the courage to accuse Lin Feng. The man in front of them was their boss, the boss who was almost omnipotent. They did not believe that they could beat "Microsoft" in operating systems, but they did not believe that they could beat their boss.

"B, it's not that everyone is afraid of "Microsoft", but that "Microsoft" is too powerful. Even when we decided to open "Android" at the beginning, it was because we were afraid of "Microsoft's" dominance in the Windows system industry. We felt that there was no future, so we avoided the important and opened the operating system for handheld devices, and then we had "Android." "Ma Duo, an engineer among the eight original "Android" employees, said.

"Oh, so you mean to give up and let "Microsoft" dominate the operating system forever. All hardware and software manufacturers must always submit to the power of "Microsoft"?" Lin Feng said coldly.

"No, boss, that's not what I mean. I mean, if any company on this planet goes against Microsoft in the operating system, it will definitely be defeated, but only we, only you, boss, can possibly fight against Microsoft." Maiduo said word by word.

"Oh?" Lin Feng's expression moved. Could this person be flattering him? If so, he would have to kick this person out of the "Software Development Department". His own "Software Development Department" wants design talents, not flatterers. It doesn't matter if there are more flatterers in the administrative department, but there must not be such people in the technical department.

Lin Feng's eyes shrank slightly. As long as Maiduo doesn't have enough reasons to convince himself, Lin Feng will definitely kick him out without saying a word.

"B, the reason why our company can fight against Microsoft is because we have three major resources." Maiduo said confidently.

"First, we are a hardware developer, so the operating system we developed has sufficient hardware support. Unlike '1', after it was launched, we had to adapt to the hardware, rather than the hardware adapting to the software. In particular, our company has a one-stop hardware development capability for personal computers, and in the graphics card market, it has a complete monopoly. This is the largest hardware resource we have, which no other company has ever had." Mai Duo sighed.

The reason why 1 failed at the beginning (of course it was not a failure, but not many people used it) was because after installation, any hardware changes were quite troublesome, and not all hardware had its drivers. Tell me, is this troublesome or not? The compatibility is not enough. But if "Second World" is launched, this operating system is independent, and the hardware is independent. Do you think it can be incompatible? It can completely create a god and achieve the same plug-and-play as "Microsoft's" "Windows System".

"The second resource is that we have a large number of game software and some entertainment software copyrights. In particular, the 'Tencent' owned by you, the boss, has an absolute dominant position in the field of instant messaging tools in China, and our company's online games are unique in the world. Almost wherever there is a computer, there is our company's game software installed. This is a huge software resource, which can create a god and form an absolutely favorable support for the operating system." Mai Duo stretched out his second finger.

"But the software resources owned by our company are limited after all, and most of them belong to the entertainment category, but our operating system does not support more office software. We can't let consumers buy two computers at the same time, one for office and one for entertainment!" A designer raised an objection. He thought that this newly arrived "Android" designer was flattering his father.

"Yes, this is very correct. If we open the system, we will lack support for almost all office software, and many entertainment software will not be supported. But this is the third point I mentioned, the unique resource our company has in the world-our boss!" Mai Duo pointed at Lin Feng.

"Our boss has a wide range of connections and contacts all over the world. As long as he shows up, the major software companies around the world will give him face. With these three points, we have the right to challenge Microsoft." said McDowell.

Everyone was speechless. This last point is really a bit of flattery to Lin Feng, but then again, Lin Feng's connections are indeed something that others don't have. For example, if Ellison's "Oracle" provides support for the new operating system, I'm afraid half of the companies in the world will consider choosing to change the operating system. Of course, the premise is that the company's operating system is better than that of Microsoft.

"McDowell, you are right. Indeed, with these three points, our company has the right to challenge Microsoft. Everyone, do you have confidence now?" Lin Feng shamelessly accepted McDowell's flattery. This flattery was so clever that even Lin Feng, who didn't like flattery, enjoyed it very much.

"Yes..." Everyone answered sparsely. After all, although there were these three points, everyone still had no confidence.

"This time, in the challenge to Microsoft, as long as we can occupy 15% of the market share, I will give everyone a credit. Each person will be rewarded with a million dollars!" Lin Feng knew that it was time to take out the bait himself.

This is a world of money, and no one doesn't love money. A million dollars is enough for these designers to fight for it. You know, for more than a year, they have been receiving a basic salary without any bonuses. Seeing other departments receiving tens of thousands of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses every month, wouldn't they be jealous! Besides, Lin Feng only asked them to occupy 15% of the market share, which is not difficult.

"Do you still have confidence now?" Lin Feng asked again!

"Yes! Kill 'Microsoft'!" Everyone shouted in unison. 15% of the market share, with Lin Feng's connections, I'm afraid he can occupy such a large market share. As long as there is no problem with the operating system, the million dollars will almost be theirs.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
