"After careful consideration, I found that the mobile phone industry and the gaming industry are the most important and financial industries in the future, so I decided that in the new century, Microsoft will fully enter these two industries and open up new markets for Microsoft!!" Bill Gates said at the internal meeting.

"..." All the directors present were shocked. When they received the news, they thought this was an ordinary routine board meeting, and at most they would decide on some trivial matters.

So many directors did not really attend, just sent their own representatives to come.

Unexpectedly, at this meeting, Bill Gates threw a big bomb down as soon as he opened his mouth and announced that Microsoft was entering the mobile phone and gaming industry.

"Chairman, is this too risky? Microsoft has never been involved in these two industries and has no technical accumulation. The risk of doing so is too high!" said a director.

"No, we have technical accumulation!" Bill Gates said erudibly. "First of all, it is the game industry. To put it bluntly, it is just a program. Programs are what Microsoft is best at. There is no one in the world who understands programs better than me!"

"And this is not the first time Microsoft has entered the game industry. We have already established full-effect game studio and Microsoft Game Studio. The Age of Empires series of games they produced are even more boutiques in the entire industry. Among them, Age of Empires 1 sold 18 million copies, and Age of Empires 2, which was launched last year, sold 9 million copies in a year. The current sales have exceeded 10 million copies. It is not impossible to catch up with the 18 million copies of the previous generation."

"So Microsoft has already had a lot of technical reserves and accumulation in games. Now there will be no problem in entering the game industry in full!"

"As for the mobile phone industry, this seems to be very high-end and requires a lot of technology. But after my investigation, I found that most companies in the mobile phone industry have become assemblers."

"Some companies are not even assemblers, at most they are just OEMs!"

"Now the global mobile phone industry is undergoing rapid evolution. 90% of mobile phone companies have abandoned the manufacturing of products and parts and instead used professional OEM companies to produce OEM companies!"

"Many OEM companies also sell finished products of various mobile phone parts. We sent people to do experiments and let the purchasing department and the technical department cooperate, one person is responsible for global procurement and the other is responsible for assembly. As a result, just relying on these two people, we successfully assembled a mobile phone that can be used!"

"So the mobile phone industry is almost without any threshold. As long as you have money, you can have your own mobile phones! Otherwise, imagine that Chinese companies like Daqian have been able to achieve the position of the world's third mobile phone manufacturer. Is this because they have outstanding technology?"

"Of course it's impossible. They are just an assembly manufacturer, and they have achieved results by relying on low-price strategies!" Bill Gates said with disdain, and when he heard Bill Gates' words, the directors nodded.

Things are indeed similar to what Bill Gates said. If you look at it this way, these two industries are still in trouble!

"And, this will bring huge profits to Microsoft!" Seeing the directors' expressions moving, Bill Gates continued, "Just 1999, the total sales of the game industry have exceeded US$60 billion, and its sales performance has even exceeded Microsoft's annual sales. If we can eat the big cake of games, Microsoft's market value can be increased by at least twice!"

"There is also the mobile phone industry, whose GDP in 1999 has exceeded US$100 billion, but this is just the beginning. According to the model established by our mathematicians, at most no more than 10 years, 1/10 of the world's population will have their own mobile phone, which is a huge industry with more than US$400 billion a year!"

"Everyone, look at what manufacturers are now occupying the mobile phone rankings?"

"Either it's an old guy like Motorola and Nokia who is in a clumsy or incompetent newcomers like Samsung and Ericsson, so they actually let Daqian occupy the third place in the mobile phone industry, which is simply a big deal!"

"Everyone, if Microsoft enters the mobile phone industry, not to mention anything else, just relying on our Microsoft trademark, then even if we cannot surpass the two old guys, Motorola and Nokia, it is easy to drive things like Daqian and replace them!"

"As long as we can win 1/3 of the market share of the mobile phone industry, Microsoft's stock price will rise again. Even if the stock price in your hands rises by five times, it will be easy!" Bill Gates's words were full of temptation, which made all the directors present feel moved.

Indeed, what Bill Gates said makes sense. Even a Chinese company like Daqian can occupy the market. If Microsoft, the world's number one attack, wouldn't it be easy to get it?

Of course, some people also feel something is wrong. For example, the two industries that Microsoft is going to enter this time are almost all strong industries of Daqian, and it seems that they want to go against Daqian.

Well, this feeling is actually not wrong. Microsoft, or Bill Gates, is planning to use this to teach Daqian a lesson that has penetrated into the bones.

According to the results of the investigation, although Daqian currently involves many industries, the most profitable industries are two, one is games and the other is Daqian's mobile phone.

These two industries contribute tens of billions of dollars in sales to Daqian every year, among which the gaming industry is said to have exceeded 20 billion US dollars. This is a data that makes Bill Gates drool.

In addition, these are probably two industries that Microsoft can directly impact Daqian. After all, Daqian's other industries are too far away for Microsoft. Do you ask Microsoft to make movies and make Tesla?

This is definitely unrealistic, so Bill Gates finally set his revenge on Daqian’s games and mobile phones!

He wants to eat up the two most profitable industries of Daqian Group now, so that Daqian will lose his two largest pillar industries.

As a large enterprise, once it loses the pillar industry of cash flow sources, the bigger the company, the harder it will fall, and in the end it will even fall into pieces and will no longer exist.

Take Microsoft as an example. Although Microsoft can still make more than 3 billion US dollars in profit every year, Microsoft's various expenses have reached about 6 billion US dollars every year.
