Gates gave a method he had thought about for a long time and could break the situation.
Gates said to Michael: "The only way to break the situation is to kill Changtian Technology in its cradle."
"At present, Microsoft has prepared three measures."
"Measure 1, strangling the ship from the system."
"From now until next year, Microsoft plans to authorize certain PC manufacturers to allow them to use the Windows XP system for free."
"These manufacturers include Lianxiang in Xiaguo and Dell and HP in the United States."
Gates said with a smile: "We will authorize the computer companies of Lianxiang and Miguo to use the Windows XP system for free, and authorize the computer companies of Tsinghua Tongfang and Fangzheng in Xiaguo to use the XP system for a fee, but we will not authorize Shenzhou to use it. windowsxp system."
"If Shenzhou wants to use the windows xp system, then it can only use pirated versions forever."
"A computer company that can only use pirated systems is destined to not go far."
It is conceivable that if Shenzhou is always labeled as a counterfeit and pirated system user, not to mention that it is difficult for it to go out of the Xia Kingdom to the international market, even in the Xia Kingdom's domestic market, it will be difficult to gain the recognition of mid-to-high-end consumers.
Michael immediately realized that Microsoft's approach was to hope that Lianxiang and other PCs could take advantage of the system in Xiaguo, so that they could strangle Shenzhou in Xiaguo.
It is indeed a good way to let the two Xiaguo companies compete and involve each other. .
And allowing Dell to use the xp system for free is also hoping to re-establish a good ally relationship with Dell and support Dell's development in the global market.
After the cost of using the system is reduced, it will also help Dell reduce costs in the European market and increase its competitiveness.
"The second measure is to strangle the ship of God from the application software."
"We are going to upgrade the windowsoffice software, and cooperate with many software companies such as cad, 3dmax and matlab to upgrade these software to the latest version as soon as possible, and only support the windowsxp system."
It is true that Shenzhou can use the pirated Windows XP system, as well as related pirated software. "
"But in the international academic and commercial fields, whether you are drawing, writing papers or performing mathematical calculations, the pirated software you use is absolutely not recognized. In this way, we will be in the academic and commercial fields. The hardware is blocked."
Gates deserves to be a veteran who has been in the PC industry and the software industry for decades.
The several applications just listed by Gates are the most widely used software on the market.
Needless to say, windowsoffice, more than 90% of people who use computers to work in the world will use windowsoffice.
While cad, 3dmarks and matlab are the king application software in engineering and academia, as long as there is international business cooperation or academic exchange, it is absolutely not allowed to use pirated software.
These software companies have already negotiated with Microsoft, and it is absolutely impossible for them to support Changtian Technology's hardware devices in their software.
If users want to use both Changtian Technology's hardware equipment and these software, they can only use pirated software.
Blocking the hardware equipment of Changtian Technology in the commercial and academic fields is to separate the elite users from Changtian Technology.
The consumption habits of the world are top-down from the elite to the common people.
Although the number of elites is relatively small, their influence is very extensive and will subtly affect the consumption habits of the entire Chinese people.
Twenty years later, whether it is luxury bags and clothes in the fashion industry, Apple mobile phones in the electronics industry, and luxury car brands in the automotive industry.
Without exception, this consumption habit is passed down from the elite.
If the elites of the entire Xia Kingdom begin to deny and loathe Changtian Technology¡¯s hardware products, and classify such hardware products as copycats, pirated copies, and inferior quality, then the middle and lower class consumers will definitely be affected.
Gates said Microsoft's third strategy: "strangling the boat of God from public opinion."
"There is no need for Microsoft to do this. Many technology companies have long hated and disliked Changtian Technology."
"We are not going to fight Changtian Technology this time, but to fight Shenzhou, the export end of Changtian Technology products."
"We have learned about the history of Shenchuan in detail. This is a company that started as a hardware agency sales."
"Now the products they sell are all known for their high cost performance."
"Since it is cost-effective, it is necessary to reduce production and design.? cost. "
"Especially the design cost, Shenchuan has hardly spent a penny on the design."
"We have a detailed understanding of Shenzhou's PC products, not to mention the core components, most of which are purchased from outside. However, including Shenzhou's chassis, monitors and even power supplies, many components have directly copied the design of other products and production processes."
"Xia Guo has now joined the WTO and must abide by global intellectual property rights."
"There are already many technology companies, including Sony in the East, Asus in the Wanwan area, and Samsung in South Korea, all of which are preparing to file a lawsuit against the WTO on the appearance of the product and the design of the power supply, and Shenzhou will make a huge amount of compensation."
"When these lawsuits and related public opinions are launched at the same time, it will be enough for Shenzhou to drink a pot."
Michael's breathing became rapid. From Gates' statement, he could see that the strength and resources of American technology companies were very powerful.
With such a small size, Shenzhou would have a hard time surviving this round of attacks even with Changtian Technology behind it.
Blocking Shenzhou on the system and software is tantamount to nailing the pirated and counterfeit logos to the body of Shenzhou.
Then attack Shenzhou on intellectual property patents and public opinion.
In this way, consumers all over the world, including most consumers in Xiaguo, will have an inherent negative impression of Shenzhou - plagiarism, inferiority, piracy and so on.
This method seems to be dealing with the Shenzhou, but it is actually the Changtian technology behind the attacking Shenzhou.
If the divine ship can survive like this, then it is really unreasonable.
Of course, Shenzhou can adopt a method to survive, and that is to resolutely refuse to cooperate with Changtian Technology.
Without the help of Changtian Technology, the Shenzhou is not worth mentioning in terms of combat effectiveness.
No matter how he develops, he is only the second Tsinghua Tongfang or the second Fang Fangzheng, and he does not pose any threat to Dell or other PC companies.
What Michael is most concerned about is still a question: "So where is Dell's interest? If we refuse to cooperate with Changtian Technology and get Microsoft's support, we will only stand on the same starting line as other brands."
Gates smiled and said: "Mr. Michael, Dell has no choice but to follow the development of the market. If you continue to cooperate with Changtian Technology, the future will be even darker. Not only will you lose the European market, but you will also lose Xiaguo. market."
"Of course, as a cooperation agreement between our two parties, Microsoft will support Dell's development, and has decided to authorize Dell to use the winxp system for free in the next three years."
Michael nodded helplessly, he had no choice.
The only consensus in the American science and technology community is to engage in Death Boat and Changtian Technology.
