Chapter 2964: Eat Shit
"Mr. Wu, what do you think?" Lin Feng asked.
Wu Zhaopu was already going crazy at this moment. 'Microsoft' so shamelessly accused 'Second World' that it actually asked 'Second World' to design a graphics driver specifically for 'Microsoft's' system so that players using 'XP' and other systems can run "World War" perfectly. Why?
Indeed, the completely different performance of "World War" under the two systems this time is because the optimization of the graphics driver caused these two completely different effects. In the case that the existing hardware cannot be upgraded in a short period of time, Lin Feng asked the company to squeeze the performance of the computer hardware as much as possible and play the performance like a home game console.
Therefore, 'Second World' took advantage of its dominant position in the graphics card market to create a driver that can fully play the graphics card performance, meeting the basic application of "World War" after the upgrade. The reason why it is called basic is that it will not affect the fluency of players in normal games, but if a large-scale battle breaks out on land, sea and air, such as hundreds of thousands of players appearing in a screen map, it will still be stuck. This is a problem that no excellent software can solve, and it must be solved by continuous hardware upgrades.
The Second World did indeed trick Microsoft in this matter, but why should it design a dedicated driver for Microsoft? This doesn't make sense, and our company has no obligation to do so. We are not friends, not allies, but competitors. Why should I care about your life or death!
"Boss, we must not compromise, and we must not develop a driver for Microsoft. This is our only means of attracting players!" Wu Zhaopu said angrily.
"Yes, this is indeed our only means of attracting players." Lin Feng nodded. As for the bottom line, it must not be compromised.
"But what if Microsoft accuses us of illegal competition to the Ministry of Commerce?" Wu Zhaopu was worried again.
"Boss. Microsoft has sent a letter asking us to develop drivers for Microsoft's various systems, otherwise it will submit a letter of complaint to the US Department of Commerce within 12 hours." Lin Chiling came in and handed Lin Feng a letter from Microsoft.
"Too bullying, too bullying!" Wu Zhaopu hammered the wall, venting his anger. Microsoft is too bullying. They actually sent a direct letter to ask for the opening of the driver program. This is like a naked slap in the face of the Second World.
However, the situation is stronger than people now. The US Department of Commerce will definitely stand on the side of Microsoft. If they sue, they will definitely win. The US Department of Commerce will definitely rule that the Second World should open the Microsoft driver program, and even fine the Second World a huge sum of money.
This point cannot be ignored.
"Boss,
I think it is better for us to adopt the strategy of procrastination!" Lin Chiling suggested.
"Yes, boss, the strategy of procrastination. Procrastinate first. Anyway, we are developing the driver program. We will complete it when we say it will be completed. Microsoft can't control it. We will procrastinate Microsoft until the Pangu system takes the lead. Then launch it." Wu Zhaopu laughed strangely.
Lin Feng shook his head. This procrastination method is useless to Microsoft. Microsoft will not accept it. Moreover, this procrastination method is not what Lin Feng wants. Lin Feng will not choose such an incompetent confrontation method. Fighting against Microsoft in this way, strategically speaking, you have already lost. Once you lose strategically, it is useless to be excellent tactically. This is like in "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", Reinhard von Lohengram always has a strategic advantage, and Yang Weili always wins tactically, but because of the inherent strategic disadvantage, no matter how well he wins tactically in the end, it is just a more beautiful loss, but it cannot change the general trend.
This is not what Lin Feng wants.
"Chiling, reply to "Microsoft" and say - go eat shit!" Lin Feng raised his middle finger, "Use fax to pass my gesture through."
Ah! Wu Zhaopu and Lin Chiling were stunned. This, this is not a complete break with "Microsoft", and being humiliated by Lin Feng, "Microsoft" will be angry and ashamed, they will definitely complain to the US Department of Commerce, and "Second World" is a company listed on NASDAQ, which happens to be regulated by the US Department of Commerce. The US Department of Commerce has many ways to punish Lin Feng. By then, "Microsoft" will probably hide behind and laugh at the joke.
Although this cannot compromise with Microsoft, it is too violent!
"Go now!" Lin Feng said loudly.
"Really?" Lin Chiling also made a middle finger gesture.
"Well, that's it. Remember, draw it vividly!" Lin Feng laughed.
With a black line on her face, Lin Chiling followed Lin Feng's instructions and transmitted Lin Feng's original words - go eat shit! And Lin Feng's gesture to the president's office of Microsoft.
At this time, in the president's office of Microsoft, Bill Gates was apologizing to Steve Ballmer.
"Steve, I admit that I was too impulsive just now, but the situation is urgent and I must do so. I will come up with a solution to the harm caused by the Pangu system as soon as possible. You also know that I am not good at speaking, so please forgive me if I offend you!" Bill Gates apologized to Steve Ballmer carefully.
But Steve Ballmer was noncommittal. In this matter, it was Bill Gates' fault. Even if he didn't take action, he could handle this crisis. It is true that he is not as good as Bill Gates in technology, but when it comes to crisis management, Steve Ballmer believes that he is not inferior to Bill Gates, and should even be better than Bill Gates. That's right.
"Okay, Steve, don't be awkward. I promise it's just this once and I won't do it again!" Bill Gates apologized with a smile on his face.
Steve Ballmer can no longer refuse to return to 'Microsoft'. Bill Gates has given himself enough steps. If he doesn't give him face anymore, then I'm afraid the only way left is to leave Microsoft.
"Bill, don't do this next time!" Steve Ballmer said coldly.
"Yes, it won't happen again!" Bill Gates smiled.
Their hands were clasped together again. The last time we shook hands was decades ago, when Bill Gates invited Steve Ballmer to join Microsoft. Unexpectedly, decades later, the two would shake hands in such a formal way again.
"By the way, what's going on now?" Steve Ballmer asked.
"We have officially sent a letter to Lin Feng, asking him to develop a 'Microsoft' graphics card driver as soon as possible." Bill Gates said, "If he refuses, then we will appeal to the Ministry of Commerce and accuse him Abnormal competition. This is something Lin Feng absolutely cannot bear and does not want to see. "
"But Lin Feng can definitely use dragging tactics to deal with us." Steve Ballmer said.
"Well, I have already considered this. But I will put pressure on the Ministry of Commerce and let the Ministry of Commerce put pressure on Lin Feng. He wants to delay, but he can't!" Bill Gates said confidently. As long as Lin Feng's company is still in the United States, he must compromise. And if Lin Feng really considers delisting and leaving the United States, then Bill Gates can also make him hand over the driver.
Because the United States is the most powerful country in the world! With the support of the US government, Bill Gates has never been afraid of non-US companies.
"President, there has been news from Lin Feng!" At this time, the secretary handed over a fax.
"Steve, look, Lin Feng must have compromised." Bill Gates laughed. "The most he can do is delay for a little longer, but this can only delay the death of the Pangu System, but it cannot change the Pangu System." 'The ending!
Steve Ballmer nodded, believing that was the case. But then, he realized something was wrong. Bill Gates's face changed immediately after seeing the fax, and then he crumpled the fax into a ball and threw it out in a rage.
"***! He is provoking me, he is looking for death!" Bill Gates was like an angry bull, his eyes red.
what happened? Steve Ballmer picked up the crumpled fax paper from the ground, unfolded it, and became very happy.
Go eat shit!
The middle finger of contempt!
"Bill, it seems that Lin Feng looks down on our 'Microsoft'. We must teach him a lesson this time!" Steve Ballmer sneered.
"Yes, I will personally call the US Department of Commerce about this matter." Bill Gates decided to personally call the US Department of Commerce to put pressure on Lin Feng.
More than ten minutes later.
"Boss, we just received a call from the U.S. Department of Commerce, requiring us to immediately release the driver for the 'Microsoft' system, otherwise our company will be sanctioned!" Lin Chiling ran over like flying, holding a copy of the document from the U.S. Fax letter from the Department of Commerce.
Lin Feng took the letter, looked at the wording on it, smiled contemptuously, and tore it into pieces.
"Microsoft is really like a kid who can't eat sweets, complaining to the adults. Okay, Zhiling, book a ticket for me to go to Washington. I want to go there and give them an explanation in person." Lin Feng sneered.
If you want to use government pressure to force yourself to submit, okay, then let's see who can have the last laugh. Can the U.S. Department of Commerce, which has been complaining about companies from all over the world, sanction itself? Unfair competition, hey, what an interesting excuse! Lin Feng smiled playfully.
"Boss, are you sure?" Wu Zhaopu's heart was filled with confusion, wondering whether Lin Feng was sure.
"Mr. Wu, don't worry. I have everything under control. Since I dare to challenge Microsoft, how can I dare if I don't have some trump cards!" Lin Feng patted Wu Zhaopu on the shoulder and whispered in his ear. He warned, "Remember, the 'Pangu System' is only the first step. The integration of our own whole machine system is the key. Let Foxconn speed up the progress. I want it to be available for sale globally by the time I arrive in Washington, USA." Ten million brand new ultrabooks!”
"I know, boss!" Wu Zhaopu nodded heavily. (To be continued)
