Chapter 2978 The Only Solution

"Bill, what should we do now?" Steve Ballmer didn't expect Lin Feng to be so tricky and directly bring up the argument that the 'Microsoft' system is useless. Is he challenging the 'Microsoft' system? Steve Ballmer has absolute confidence in the 'Microsoft' system, but how to prove that the lag in the running of "World War" is because Lin Feng tampered with it?

Public source code? That's suicidal. .+? (.+nbsp;\s*Besides, even if it is made public, it cannot prove that Lin Feng has tampered with it. This is just to let Lin Feng prove that the previous "World War" jammed because the source code of the "Microsoft" system was not made public. And to prove that Lin Feng tampered with it, there is only one thing, that is...

Steve Ballmer screamed. He suddenly realized that this lawsuit did not seem to be as simple as he thought. In this lawsuit, in addition to Lin Feng's holding of "Female A" shares and his relationship with Ellison, which indirectly constituted a monopoly crime, the accusation of unfair competition against Lin Feng was simply a boring accusation.

Because, unless you can't prove that Lin Feng tampered with it. Just like now, Lin Feng only needs to say that it is from the "Microsoft" system, then "Microsoft" can't prove it. Not making the system public If the source code of World War is not available, it is because of the Microsoft system. If the source code is open, Lin Feng will develop a new driver, and World War will not be stuck, which proves the problem of Microsoft's system. No matter how much we prove it, it is all Microsoft's problem, not Lin Feng's problem.

"Unless we can bribe the employees of Second World to prove that Lin Feng tampered with the driver!" Bill Gates suddenly said.

Yes, only in this way can we prove that Lin Feng tampered with the driver. Otherwise, any other technical proof is nonsense. Steve Ballmer nodded. Of course. There is another point that can be proved, that is, to completely crack the graphics card driver under the Pangu system and the two systems, and find out the differences that caused World War to be so different. The reason. However, first of all, there is one thing that Microsoft is very taboo about. Although the "Pangu system" is free, the copyright owner belongs to the "Second World". "Microsoft" cracking it is against the law.

According to US law, evidence collected in violation of the law is illegal in itself and cannot be used as evidence in court. Not only that. "Microsoft" will also bear the relevant crimes of copyright law. This is unacceptable to "Microsoft". Secondly, without an absolute understanding of the hardware, you cannot find out the absolute differences in the driver. This is different from "Microsoft" cracking the "Pangu system". Since "Microsoft" itself is a system developer, it is relatively smooth to crack it.

However, the graphics card driver directly involves the most core data of the graphics card, which is very important to the graphics card company. It is an absolute secret. Just as important as the source code of the Microsoft operating system, except for the most important few people, the outside world has no way of knowing it. How to crack it? Unless you can bribe these people to crack it, otherwise. It's just wishful thinking.

"If that's the case, then you can't accuse Lin Feng,

right?" Steve Ballmer said unwillingly.

Bill Gates shook his head.

"No, that's not the case. We still have a way, which is to let Lin Feng go temporarily, but we can force him to sell the shares of 'Female A', and then acquire it, crack the mystery, and then prove that Lin Feng has tampered with the graphics card driver." Bill Gates said.

This is the only chance of winning at present. Bill Gates believes that as long as he can acquire 'Female A', he will definitely be able to find the flaw. However, the only consequence to be borne is that the market share of the 'Pangu system' is likely to increase significantly during this period, and it will create a sky in the system world that was originally dominated by 'Microsoft'. This is also unacceptable to 'Microsoft'.

What to do?

This is a very difficult choice.

At this time, Bill Gates received a call from John Bryson, the US Secretary of Commerce.

"Bill, do you have a way to prove that Lin Feng is engaging in unfair competition? Can you prove that he tampered with the graphics card?" John Bryson asked.

Bill Gates repeated his thoughts.

"Is this the only way?" John Bryson asked with a frown. If so, even if Lin Feng is proven guilty in the end and Lin Feng's company is split up, I'm afraid Lin Feng will have a firm foothold in the operating system market, and then it will be troublesome. Even if Lin Feng is driven out in the future, the energy and financial resources consumed may not be one hundred million or two hundred million.

"For now, there is only this one way. Our accusation cannot prove that Lin Feng is guilty. Unless the key senior executives in charge of technology in Lin Feng come out to accuse Lin Feng." Bill Gates shrugged helplessly. He did not hold out any hope for the senior management of Lin Feng's company to turn against him. Because Lin Feng's prestige in the 'Second World' is obvious to all, it is not a big problem to bribe a few ordinary employees to testify against Lin Feng. Those core senior executives are simply impossible.

John Bryson nodded. In this case, we can only get 'Female A' out of Lin Feng's hands first. The rest depends on 'Microsoft'.

"Boss, what do you think the Ministry of Commerce will decide tomorrow?" Lin Chiling asked worriedly.

"I'm not worried about how the Ministry of Commerce will decide, but what those people will do after the decision. This matter is so big, it won't end so easily. Especially since the 'Pangu System' currently has a global market share of 37%!" Lin Feng said calmly.

Although the 'Pangu System' relies on games to capture the market, the vast majority of people who buy computers do so just for games and entertainment. Even if you buy it for office use, you can play games and entertain yourself in your spare time. Currently, the 'Pangu System' is far superior to the 'Microsoft' operating system in terms of gaming and entertainment. This is not just reflected in the game "World War". All games, as long as they can be played on the 'Microsoft' system, the 'Pangu System' can run smoothly. If 'Microsoft' cannot play, 'Pangu' Can barely play.

The same is true when it comes to movie entertainment. 'Pangu System' is only slightly better than 'Microsoft'. Moreover, the operation interface of the 'Pangu System' is more gorgeous and simpler. In particular, it has an online help function. As long as the network is good, you can use remote online help and the after-sales technicians of the "Second World" to provide remote assistance and manage the computer. This is equivalent to hiring a free computer maintenance person. How does this not make users happy?

If it were not for the fact that office software and many international exchanges did not allow interoperability between Pangu System and Microsoft systems, I am afraid that this market share would have increased. And with a market share as high as 37%, will ‘Microsoft’ tolerate it? Won't! 'Microsoft' won't tolerate it!

But ‘Microsoft’ has no choice! The flaw lies in "female a". To whom will "Female A" be sold? Lin Feng frowned deeply.

"Lin, I think it's up to me to buy it. As for the shares of the 'Second Consortium', I will return all the shares." Ellison called to help Lin Feng solve the problem. "Now 'Microsoft' is definitely trying to find out. Problems with your graphics card driver, once 'Microsoft' acquires 'Female', let it figure out the problem, you will be in trouble."

"Allison, I understand, but I'm worried that once you withdraw from the 'Second Consortium' and go all out to acquire 'Female A', those people will attack you! This is my trouble, I can't drag you down!" Lin Feng said.

"Haha, attack me? Now I hold the absolute controlling interest in Oracle!" Ellison laughed, "They can't touch me. Besides, being in Oracle is just like you are in the Second World!" Ellison was absolutely confident, "If those small shareholders want to move people, I will kick them out immediately. Besides, Lin, there is something I must say, you are Chinese, and I am an American and a Jew!"

Lin Feng thought for a while and finally nodded.

"Then let's go through the handover procedures now!" Lin Feng smiled slightly. If "Female A" is not listed, all transactions will not be supervised by the so-called China Securities Regulatory Commission. After Lin Feng directly signed an electronic agreement with Ellison, Ellison's "Oracle" company became the sole shareholder of "Female A". Immediately, Ellison also sold 2.752% of the shares of the "Second Consortium" to Lin Feng.

The next day, before the court session, Lin Feng and Ellison jointly announced the two transaction decisions. And at the same time, it was announced that ‘Second World’ would reach a strategic alliance with ‘Oracle’.

At this time, the world was in an uproar. Obviously, Lin Feng made his own decision before the US Department of Commerce made a decision. In this way, there is no such thing as a monopoly for Lin Feng, and the accusations made by either Intel or Microsoft are moot. But the facts remain unchanged from the past. The absolute monopoly in the graphics card market is still in the hands of Lin Feng. With their absolute monopoly in the graphics card market, both Intel and Microsoft will face sanctions from Lin Feng.

This time, Lam Feng will not just guide consumers to buy its own products as before, but will force consumers to buy its own products.

Is the U.S. Department of Commerce’s antitrust investigation just going to end like this? No, it's not that simple. When Ellison showed up at Oracle and saw a visitor, he knew that he was still thinking too simply. These people simply want to kill Lin Feng.

"Ellison, no matter how good your personal relationship with Lin Feng is, it is still a personal relationship. You should not get involved in this game. You have to understand that this game is not only between Lin Feng and Microsoft, but also between China and America's game. You're on the wrong team!" Bobo Miller, Ellison's best friend and Oracle's second largest shareholder. There was another person standing next to him. Although Ellison couldn't name this person, he knew that this person was from the Morgan family. (To be continued)
