Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

"Yes."

"Ellison, are you crazy?"

"No, I'm not crazy. In the Chinese market, Huanyu Technology's wps has changed from charging to free. For this reason, their market has skyrocketed to 40% in an instant, and I predict that the market share of wps will eventually surpass Microsoft. office."

"Even if this is the case, the free market has occupied 100%, what can we do, can we make money?"

"Yes, Universal Technology's wps is free for ordinary users and charged for members. Ordinary users can use more than 90% of the functions of wps, but some professional functions are charged. I believe that as long as our market share increases, our Member users will also increase."

"Do you think this model works?"

"I think this is our only way out. Moreover, Universal Technology said that they can help us with future publicity and promotion."

"Why does Huanyu Technology help us?"

"Because Universal Technology is competing with Microsoft for the operating system business in China."

"That's good for us. OK, Ellison, I need a detailed report."

"Yes."

……

Huanyu Technology has no choice but to take Microsoft's operating system on the Chinese side for the time being.

However, in the global market, that is not necessarily the case.

With two major websites, Friends.com and Huanyu Video, Chen Yu has two trump cards.

Whether it is Friends.com or Huanyu Video, it is now a global website.

Moreover, in order not to affect the globalization of these two major websites, Chen Yu even did not hesitate to sell a series of shares and a series of investment tycoons.

In addition, these two websites are registered in the United States.

Therefore, in the process of the globalization of these two major websites, they have not received too much interference.

To deal with Microsoft's operating system, Chen Yu has no way for the time being.

But to deal with a series of other core businesses of Microsoft, Chen Yu can still make a move.

Office software business, game business, and instant messaging business are all core businesses of Microsoft.

Although these core businesses are not as important as the operating system, if something goes wrong, it is enough for Microsoft to drink a pot.

Yes.

It was just one action in Universal Technology, and Oracle, America Online, Sony... and other global leaders followed suit.

Although here, AOL and Sony are actually competitors of Universal Technology.

But in today's globalized world, it is quite normal for there to be cooperation amidst competition and competition amidst cooperation.

What's more, the cooperation offered by Universal Technology is too tempting.

Take instant messaging, for example.

Huanyu Technology does not have an instant messaging business in North America for the time being, but he can definitely help any of them.

For example ICQ.

As long as Friends.com introduces ICQ information, its market share can surpass MSN in an instant.

As for the gaming business.

That's too simple.

Huanyu Video's short video accurate recommendation is the biggest highlight.

But when the business is competing, Universal Video will still recommend Microsoft's xbox crazily.

In the absence of competition, Microsoft relies on a series of Internet celebrities to cooperate, and it is no problem to use short videos to promote their xbox from time to time.Then, when there is competition, Universal Video directly restricts the flow of Microsoft xbox.Don't think that Universal Technology is so shameless. Such a shameless method is actually too civilized. It is not bad that Universal Technology did not directly block Microsoft xbox.

Everyone is a competitor. Chen Yu doesn't want to use this trick to deal with other competitors in China, but if he is abroad, he is welcome.

In fact, this is also normal operation.

Just like Microsoft has been binding IE and MSN in his operating system, etc.

As for office software, Universal Technology is much more generous.

At most, some advertising and promotion will be provided in the front, and these companies have to work hard on their own.

But in the office software business, Huanyu Technology is already very familiar with it.

Ah, you don't know how to play for free?

It's ok.

We, Universal Technology, will teach you.

Huanyu Technology can completely teach Oracle its experience in office software in the domestic market.

Don't thank you, it's too kind.

You ask why you want to help you like this.

There is no reason for this.

Naturally, other companies have also seen Universal Technology's strategy.

However, seeing is seeing, but when the interests are bound together, everyone knows it in their hearts.

……

"Bill, I think we're in trouble."

"Steve, what's wrong?"

"The team we formed with various top security companies didn't get much effect."

"Oh, Huanyu Technology made their Huanyu system so safe?"

"It can't be said that, the Huanyu system still has many loopholes. However, Huanyu Technology has used a series of methods to make our attacks useless."

Steve introduced to Bill the latest secret security card launched by Universal Technology, IP address lock, one-key restore of Internet cafe management software... and so on.

After hearing that, Bill smiled wryly: "I have to say that Universal Technology's understanding of the Internet is far superior to ours."

This is not modesty.

Although Microsoft is very powerful.

But the outside world has always regarded Microsoft as a software company.

Microsoft actually lacks Internet genes.

Although Bill has been working hard in this area, the gains have been minimal.

So far, only msn has performed better in the global market, and other Internet businesses have declined sharply.

"Indeed."

Steve also nodded: "But it's not our worst."

"Steve, is there something more serious?"

"Universal Technology has joined forces with Sony, Oracle, America Online... and other companies to launch an attack on our game business, instant messaging business, and office software business."

"what?"

Bill was shocked.

You must know that these competitors are not just a single regional market.

Just like China.

In fact, even if any business fails in China, it is only a regional market, and it will not affect the whole world.

But Sony, Oracle, AOL...their set of businesses is global.

But if some businesses are overtaken by them, it will have a huge loss to Microsoft's cash flow.

This is actually a bit like the game business that Microsoft attacked Universal Technology at that time.

Although the core of Microsoft is the operating system.

But the operating system business may not be the most profitable.

In other words, although the operating system business makes money, their investment in this area is also very large.

Microsoft must also rely on a series of other businesses to provide them with profit support.

For example, instant messaging, office software, and even game business relying on the operating system.

If these businesses are hit, it will also affect Microsoft's operating system business.

"Huanyu Technology made a good move."

"Yes, they're starting to counterattack."

"Steve, please contact Chen Yu from Universal Technology, I want to chat with him."

"Bill, let me go."

"No, I must go in person."

"OK then."

Steve knew that Bill was nervous.

Chapter 979: Boss Joe, are you interested in dealing with Bill together?

Hangzhou, West Lake.

Chen Yu didn't expect that he would meet Bill in this way.

This is the place where Mr. Ma held the Huashan Sword Discussion.

This was where Chen Yu and Bill met for the first time.

At that time, Bill came to the scene as a guest.

At that time, Huanyu Technology was still very weak.

There wasn't much overlap between the two at the time.

Chen Yu had no idea to compete with Microsoft at that time.

Bill also didn't expect that after a few years, they would compete with Universal Technology.

"Chen Yu, do you still remember this place?"

"Of course I remember, this is the place where Teacher Ma held the West Lake Discussion of Swords."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that after the sword debate, you Huanyu Technology had the most potential."

"you flatter me."

Chen Yu was very surprised to receive Bill's visit.

Chen Yu did not refuse Bill's proposal to go to the hotel where he would go to the West Lake to discuss swords again.

He knew his strategy was successful.

I successfully hit Microsoft.

Otherwise, how could Bill meet himself.

However, today's meeting is different from the previous West Lake Discussion of Swords.

The last time Chen Yu didn't even intend to compete with Bill, but now, the two are already rivals.

"Chen Yu, do you still remember, when I was in this place, I asked you what you think about the operating system."

"remember."

"Do you remember what you said?"

"I don't remember, what did I say?"

Chen Yu recalled it for a while, but didn't know what he said at that time.

Because at that time, Chen Yu focused on Mr. Ma. For Bill, for Microsoft, it was too far away, and he didn't even think about it.

"At that time, you said that you had no research on the operating system and no technology in this area, so you didn't know how to evaluate it."
