Chapter 1,046 God-given Opportunity

The launch of a dedicated computer system for gaming and entertainment, although it has not yet been launched and is still under planning, has undoubtedly attracted the attention of giants in the two fields - "Microsoft" and "Intel".

For a long time, in the personal computer industry, hardware has been controlled by "Intel" and software has been controlled by "Microsoft". The two IT giants have monopolized these two fields and have formed a "win-tel" alliance in order to dominate the world.

.Up to now, "Intel" has always been the leader in the personal computer hardware industry, and its every move can change the future direction of the personal IT industry.

As for "Microsoft", although it is just a software company, computers are built by hardware and software. If hardware is the body of the computer, then software is the soul of the computer. Without the operating system of "Microsoft", players can even buy a computer

, it’s useless, it’s equivalent to a pile of scrap metal.

It can be said that the two IT giants have determined everything about personal computers! They also enjoy the feeling of commanding the crowd very much. But now they suddenly discovered that a company dared to challenge them, which surprised the two companies. Although,

Both "Intel" and "Microsoft" have always had competitors, strong competitors, but in fact these competitors have not touched the core of "Intel" and "Microsoft" and cannot have a real impact on the two companies.

threats.

But things are different now. There are companies that want to touch their fundamental interests, touch their core interests, and want to touch their cheese. This is simply unforgivable, unacceptable, and impossible to compromise!

Is he crazy! - When Bill Gates received the message that "Second World" was preparing to launch computers and systems dedicated to gaming and entertainment, this was the first thing he said. Who was he talking about? Who can make Bill Gates

Such a big reaction? There used to be Ellison, the "madman" Ellison from Oracle, but now, there is Lin Feng.

Always, always, always, although "Second World" has two major personal computer core hardware production departments of "amd" and "ati", as well as a dominant company in the online game industry, coupled with Lin Feng's always flamboyant character, it makes

The "Second World" has become the focus of world attention.

As a company that is developing vigorously, the "Second World" will challenge the "hegemony" in its original field. This is really normal behavior. This world is like this. If you don't challenge or fight, you just want to settle down.

, the only result is either to be eliminated by the cruel society in the end, or to become a floating cloud and disperse with the wind.

It is a good thing to have great ambitions, but it is not a good thing to be too radical. Especially this time, Lin Feng stupidly wanted to challenge "Intel" and "Microsoft" at the same time. This is really stupid. - Bill Gates repeatedly

Shake his head.

In his opinion, it is necessary and unavoidable for Lin Feng to challenge "Intel". In the personal computer hardware world, if the "Second World" wants to flex its muscles in hardware, "Intel" cannot be avoided.

Enemies must be faced and challenged. But Lin Feng should not provoke his own "Microsoft" at the same time.

Of course, Bill Gates understands Lin Feng's thoughts. "Intel" is too powerful, too powerful. In the personal computer hardware world, "Intel" is like the Alps, lying in front of the world's major hardware companies. Back then, the Alps

Even Hitler's invincible army did not dare to cross. Now the "Alps" of "Intel" are also insurmountable for many personal computer hardware companies. Therefore, Lin Feng wants to overcome this problem by bundling dedicated computers and systems for gaming and entertainment.

A big mountain.

But he made a big mistake, a mistake as big as Pepsi-Cola's. Back then, Pepsi-Cola's market sales were steadily declining, and it was defeated by Coca-Cola. Not only was the overseas market lost, but the domestic market in the United States was also a complete failure. Therefore, Pepsi-Cola was completely defeated.

He made the biggest mistake in his life and bought a stake in "KFC", hoping to use the appeal of "KFC" to increase the influence of Pepsi-Cola. Unexpectedly, it instead provoked the behemoth "McDonald's". After cooperating with Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola

The situation became even more precarious. In the end, Pepsi-Cola pulled back from the brink, abandoned all irrelevant industries at the critical moment, and concentrated on making its own drinks, which actually brought Pepsi-Cola back to life.

Now, this is where Lin Feng made Pepsi's mistake! He actually wanted to bundle hardware and systems. While challenging "Intel", it undoubtedly also touched the core interests of "Microsoft". All along, "Microsoft" has been everywhere in various fields.

Attack, some get the desired results, and some fail miserably, it doesn't matter to these "Microsoft", because the core profit point of "Microsoft" is the operating system and office software. Among them, the operating system is the core of the "Microsoft" empire

The core of it is the tiger’s butt, which cannot be touched.

Now, in order to fight against the strength of "Intel", Lin Feng actually wants to touch the core of "Microsoft", which will undoubtedly provoke the tiger of "Microsoft". "Microsoft" will never sit idly by, even if

If necessary, he will take the initiative to deal a fatal blow to Lin Feng and the "second world".

"Bill, Andy Kloof, the president of Intel, called and requested an online video conference!" - said Steve Ballmer, president of Microsoft.

Bill Gates nodded and immediately connected to the online video conference with "Intel".

"Hi, Mr. Kloof, how are you these days!" Bill Gates greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Gates, Mr. Ballmer, I won't say any unnecessary nonsense. How are you going to deal with Lin Feng's launch of a 'game and entertainment-specific computer and system'?" Andy Kloof said with a serious look.

Bill Gates smiled and said that he would not express his opinions on these matters easily. Although he is a major shareholder, Bill Gates will refer all issues to Ballmer unless it is at a board meeting.

After Steve Ballmer pondered for a moment, he said seriously.

"Andy, the relationship between our two companies has always been good and the cooperation is very harmonious. I am also very satisfied with the current situation of our two companies. Therefore, I do not want anyone to disrupt the current situation. But, I think,

We don’t need to be too nervous when facing some challengers. There are too many companies in the world that want to challenge us, and we can’t always face a formidable enemy. That way we will attach too much importance to them and underestimate us too much!

" Steve Ballmer said.

When Bill Gates heard this, he secretly gave Steve Ballmer a thumbs up. When it comes to handling interpersonal relationships and management, Bill Gates considers himself far inferior to Steve Ballmer. Like what he just said

Bill Gates couldn't say it. It's not that he didn't understand, it was just because of his shame that he couldn't say it.

Today, Lin Feng launches "computer and system dedicated to gaming and entertainment", which touches on the core interests of "Intel" and "Microsoft". Lin Feng wants to challenge both companies at the same time, and it is the kind of technology that will make both companies

The company is facing the challenge of losing its foundation. Logically speaking, Microsoft should be as anxious as Intel CEO Andy Kloof, but Steve Ballmer's tone is so relaxed, as if nothing is wrong.

This kind of calmness and sophistication is not what Bill Gates is good at.

Andy Kruff frowned and cursed the cunning old fox in his heart.

In this matter, although Lin Feng's gaming and entertainment-specific computers and systems touch the interests of both "Intel" and "Microsoft", the situations of the two companies are different. For "Intel", Lin Feng's

They are digging their graves. They must challenge and defeat Lin Feng. But for "Microsoft", Lin Feng's so-called gaming and entertainment-specific system has a fatal flaw - compatibility.

This compatibility not only refers to the compatibility between hardware and systems, but also the compatibility between systems and software. Currently, for all personal computer users, when using a computer, whether it is surfing the Internet or playing games, what they use

There are a lot of software. At the very least, the software involved includes browsers, chat tools, download tools, decompression tools, etc., and the cores of these software are all developed based on the "Microsoft" Windows system. Unlike Lin Feng, the so-called

Game and entertainment-specific systems are incompatible.

Therefore, "Microsoft" has enough confidence to laugh at the situation, and "Microsoft" can enjoy watching from the sidelines to see how Lin Feng's "game and entertainment special system" solves this compatibility problem. If so, this system can run these software perfectly

, then "Microsoft" will send a large number of engineers to study whether Lin Feng's "game and entertainment special system" is similar to "Microsoft's" Windows operating system. If so, "Microsoft" can use legal weapons to demand huge amounts of money.

Compensation, or even swallowing up the "second world" are possible.

It can be said that "Microsoft" is in a more absolute dominant position in the market because of its operating system compared to "Intel" hardware, and because consumers are accustomed to "Microsoft" and are accustomed to www.piotian.comd", this is "

The difference between "Microsoft" and "Intel".

"Steve, aren't your company afraid that Lin Feng will really develop an operating system that is compatible with all the mainstream software on the market?" Andy Rufu said bitterly.

In the past, in the alliance between "Intel" and "Microsoft", "Intel" could still occupy a dominant position, but with the "-ter" alliance, it has become more and more like an alliance led by "Microsoft", and "

"Microsoft" is more like the leader of the alliance, always giving orders. This is also the reason why the "win-tel" alliance ended without a problem (it was just a cold treatment between the two parties and did not break up). However, now due to the threat of Lin Feng, "Intel" intends to start this alliance again

alliance.

Steve Ballmer smiled.

"Andy, I am very much looking forward to the emergence of Lin Feng's 'game and entertainment system'. The so-called crisis is also an opportunity, and it may be another opportunity for Microsoft to take off." Steve Ballmer

explain.

Steve Ballmer really wants to see what Lin Feng's "game and entertainment system" will look like. If it is really launched, "Microsoft" would not mind secretly helping to promote it under certain conditions.

, or even occupy the market, as long as this "game and entertainment dedicated system" plagiarizes or imitates "Microsoft" system, Steve Ballmer really doesn't mind Lin Feng launching this "game and entertainment dedicated system". By then, a picture

Once the petition is filed, demanding tens of billions of dollars in compensation, Microsoft will be able to seize the opportunity to swallow up the "second world".

"Cloud computing", "dynamic ignoring and compensation technology", online game market share, top ten game development departments..., these are all coveted by "Microsoft", but "Microsoft" has never had the opportunity to get involved in this field. Online games

How high the profits are can be seen just by looking at the current market value of "Second World" which is close to 100 billion U.S. dollars. However, because "Second World" has the most leading technology in the online game industry, it uses excellent games and advanced technology to dominate this market.

field, "Microsoft" does not want to rush into this field.

After all, "Microsoft" is currently competing with "Sony" and "Nintendo" in the home console market, and it does not want to be distracted by competing with the "Second World" in the field of online games. This is too irrational and too difficult.

Now, Lin Feng has given "Microsoft" this opportunity. This opportunity is simply pie in the sky. - Thinking of the future, once due to external forces or other reasons, Lin Feng's "game and entertainment only" system detects

Any www.piotian.comgo, "Microsoft" will be great!

This is also the reason why "Microsoft" is currently not anxious about Lin Feng's "game and entertainment-specific system".

However, seeing the gloomy expression on Andy Kloof's face, Steve Ballmer's face was instantly filled with a kind smile. Although "Microsoft" is so powerful that people dare not look up to it, "Intel" is still not an ally.

Offended. You can neglect or even ignore it, but you cannot offend.

"Andy, we at Microsoft will definitely be consistent with your company on this matter. But my opinion is that we need to lure this tiger out, then cut off his escape route, and then remove him."

'Slaughter'," Steve Ballmer said.

Andy Kruff frowned for a while. He always nipped the threat in the cradle. Steve Ballmer actually let this "threat" grow and then dealt with it. This made Andy Kruff

Quite incomprehensible.

"Andy, you have to understand. Lin Feng, this tiger, is gradually growing. If we prevent him from leaving his 'den' now, it will be like we have worked together to create a safe haven for him, allowing him to concentrate on developing his own career. Forgive me.

Frankly speaking, there is currently no company in the online gaming industry that is a rival to the 'Second World'. If we let it continue to develop, it will be too late when it becomes so big that we cannot deal with it! This time is just a plan, a way to let the tiger out of the cage.

Opportunity!" Steve Ballmer said.

Andy Kruff heard this and nodded.
Chapter completed!
