Chapter 2965 Microsoft's Chain of Plans

Lin Feng posted an update on Weibo.

, the abbreviation of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The latter sentence is Lin Feng telling the U.S. Department of Commerce that I, Lin Feng, am here.

The U.S. Department of Commerce ordered Lin Feng to develop a "Microsoft" driver as soon as possible. Once this was announced, it caused an uproar. In the eyes of the Chinese media, the decision of the U.S. Department of Commerce is simply a very shameless act of banditry. This graphics card driver was developed by the 'Second World', but the 'Second World' is not obligated to develop corresponding drivers for 'Microsoft' systems. It's like if you develop a piece of hardware, in order for customers to use it, you naturally have to develop a corresponding driver to drive it. But there is no law that requires you to develop a driver specifically for a system. What driver you want to develop, that's your freedom.

In a market economy, the market naturally determines everything. If your driver doesn't support the most popular systems, no one will buy it. But it doesn't mean that if you don't develop the most popular system driver, you will break the law. This is an absolutely free choice. Companies choose customers, and customers choose companies.

However, this order from the U.S. Department of Commerce breaks the rules of a free economy. This is very domineering and shameless.

The entire Chinese media, without exception, madly criticized the U.S. Department of Commerce and rebuked the U.S. Department of Commerce for its banditry.

"Reference News" said - this is the most barbaric behavior. Breaking the rules of the game. This is equivalent to a naked declaration to the world that any company that infringes on the interests of American companies will be punished by American law. The U.S. Department of Commerce is digging its own grave with this kind of behavior.

"Global Times" said - if the hardware does not develop "Microsoft" drivers, it will become a defendant. This is too funny. If this is the case, does it mean that if I develop a piece of hardware and do not develop all the system drivers of 'Microsoft', will it also cause unfair competition? Does the U.S. Department of Commerce also want to punish me? If this is the case, I am afraid that 95% of companies in the world today will be punished. Because currently 95% of computer hardware equipment providers in the world have not developed ‘sta’ drivers. I'm afraid they will all be involved in unfair competition lawsuits... Compared to the roar of the Chinese media, Chinese netizens directly greeted all maternal relatives in the United States. If you study carefully. I am afraid that starting from the 18th generation of maternal relatives of the first President of the United States, Washington, to the current Bush people, we can only blame the U.S. Department of Commerce for being too rude.

Compared with the anger and even hysteria of the Chinese media, the media in other Asian countries were relatively calm. They just relayed this fact calmly and did not express any opinions on it, obviously. The media in these countries are in a rather tangled state.

Praising the United States may not necessarily lead to good results. In this matter, the U.S. Department of Commerce does not need the media from these countries to praise it, and it is easy to be resented by Lai Feng. Being worried about Lin Feng is definitely not a good thing. Don't tell me, Lin Feng's anger will be repaid.

In many cases, it saved Lin Feng a lot of trouble. If you always be a good person and don't hold grudges. In this world, you really want to be bullied to death. As the old saying goes, good people can be bullied. Seeing as you are easy to bully, no one will bully you.

This was proved by China during the Qing Dynasty. The first Sino-French War broke out between China and France. At sea, Chinese warships easily defeated the French fleet, which was still made of wood at the time. The results of it. However, the Qing government of China took the initiative to compensate France for its losses and asked it not to come back to China with its ridiculous compensation bill. It was also the most ridiculous treaty in the history of China's Qing Dynasty that was humiliating and humiliating the country - the "Vietnam Treaty between China and France".

As a result, after receiving compensation from China and returning to build better modern warships, France invaded China again. In the end, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan and other countries joined forces to stage a drama in which the Eight-Nation Allied Forces burned down the Old Summer Palace.

If Lin Feng is like the traditional Chinese people who value harmony in everything, then the media in these countries will probably not report it calmly like this, except to add insult to injury. Because of Lin Feng's past actions, they were afraid of Lin Feng, and they were afraid that Lin Feng would go crazy to settle accounts later.

Of course, compared to the "reserveness" of the media in most countries in Asia, the media in Japan and South Korea have already exploded. The media in both countries unanimously believe that the US Department of Commerce's approach is to maintain legitimate competition in the IT industry and avoid Lin Feng used his powerful influence to control the personal computer hardware industry to monopolize the industry. The media from both countries even advocated that the U.S. Department of Commerce would best hold antitrust hearings, and the worst would be to split the "Second World" in two.

Faced with the defection of Japanese and Korean media as Asian media, the Chinese media directly called them traitors of Asian countries and lackeys of US imperialism in Asian countries. It is claimed that these two countries might as well just relocate their entire country to North America, as it really does not fit their status in Asia.

Compared to the two extremes of the Asian media, the European media is much more rational this time. The Sun, which has always been anti-Lam Fung, is naturally on the front line, constantly attacking Lin Feng, claiming that the "second world" must be broken up to avoid Lin Feng's monopoly on the personal computer industry. Neutral groups such as The Times calmly analyzed that Lin Feng did engage in monopolistic behavior because of his absolute control over computer hardware. However, this kind of law requires Lin Feng to launch drivers for Microsoft systems, which is also undesirable.

In a market economy, everything must be decided by the market. Politics cannot be mixed into the market economy. Otherwise, once this precedent is set, it will never end, and it will bring about a bad example of collusion between government and business.

However, it is obvious that the comments of both Asian and European media cannot affect the US Department of Commerce. The US Department of Commerce did not comment on the comments from the outside world. They don't care about these comments. They are now waiting for Lin Feng to come to Washington, and they want to see what Lin Feng has to say.

It takes about 16 hours to fly from Shanghai to Washington. Everyone is looking forward to it.

"Bill, Lin Feng is going to Washington, what do you think he will say?" Steve Ballmer asked.

Bill Gates shrugged. This, he didn't know. He only knew one thing, that Lin Feng was in big trouble this time. Although the US Department of Commerce was suspected of interfering too long, it was a fact that Lin Feng secretly controlled the graphics card market. The "Second World" of "Second Bank" and "A" jointly acquired by "Second Bank" and Ellison behind it, the two companies dominate the graphics card market. Now one is directly controlled by Lin Feng, and the other is secretly controlled by Lin Feng. This is evidence of monopoly.

And this time, "World War" jammed under the "Microsoft" system because the graphics card was not powerful. This naturally gave the US Department of Commerce an excuse for Lin Feng to use his absolute dominance in the graphics card market to engage in unfair competition. This is something Lin Feng cannot avoid.

Steve Ballmer doesn't know much about technology, but he understands the power of unfair competition law and antitrust law. This time, letting Lin Feng launch the "Microsoft" driver is just the first step. Once Lin Feng really admits it and launches such a driver, then Lin Feng's crime of unfair competition will be confirmed. When the antitrust law is activated, it will be able to forcibly break the current situation of Lin Feng's monopoly in the graphics card market. At that time, "Intel" will take over the shares of one of "" and "da".

At that time, "Microsoft" and "Intel" will cooperate again... The alliance will come out again and will be invincible!

This is a series of traps, set up against Lin Feng. As long as Lin Feng admits one thing, he will be finished.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it! This is the truth in all countries. Once Lin Feng's dominance in the computer industry is defeated by..., his system will be severely damaged, his company will be split into two, and the hardware and software will be separated. At that time, his enemies from all walks of life will swarm in, beat the fallen dog, and do everything possible to kill Lin Feng. Of course, it is impossible to nail Lin Feng to death in one fell swoop. But it can seriously injure Lin Feng. From now on, Lin Feng will lose the qualification to challenge "Microsoft".

And this is Steve Ballmer's suggestion to Bill Gates.

"Haha, Steve, your plan is too insidious, but I like it. So, I have always said that you are the most suitable leader of "Microsoft"!" Bill Gates laughed.

For Microsoft and Bill Gates, the company no longer needs any major innovation. Relying on the absolute dominance of the Windows system, it launches a new generation every few years to continue to consolidate its position and make a lot of money. Then the corresponding software for various systems will also take the opportunity to make another profit. This is the best prospect for Microsoft. Other game departments, or departments such as network TV, are just for the occasion. If you can make more money, make more money. If you can't make money, forget it. Anyway, no matter how big the loss is, it's just a drop in the bucket for Microsoft.

Insidious? No, there are more insidious ones! Steve Ballmer sneered. He definitely has more plans for Lin Feng than this. This is just for Lin Feng's company, he also has plans for Lin Feng personally. Steve Ballmer suffered a great humiliation at Microsoft this time, and for him, this is an intolerable humiliation. But he knew that he couldn't turn against Bill Gates. Once he turned against him, he would definitely be the one to leave. Under this premise, he vented all his anger on Lin Feng. He not only wanted Lin Feng's company to be ruined, but also Lin Feng himself.

All ruined!

After 16 hours of flight, Lin Feng finally arrived in Washington. (To be continued)
