1026. 1026 chapter Microsoft internal dispute

Bill Gates frowned at Paul. This is the Board of Directors. It’s a place for everyone to discuss things, not a place to make you scream.

What happened to Feng Yu, and Paul was out of order? Is it because Feng Yu cursed his team forever not getting the US professional championship?

Such a big person, how is it like a child, because this little thing is arguing. Everyone works together to make Microsoft’s good development and continue to grow, is the most correct choice!

“Paul, you have to be sensible. It’s about the interests of all of us, we can’t be tempted,” Bill persuaded.

“Well, I will say first, I am opposed to working with Feng Yu. I am on the matter, he wants absolute control interest, who can you promise?!” Paul said with a sneer, “He thought who he was? The original DVD forum, If there is no support from us, can he develop so well? What benefits do we get?”

Microsoft only works on software. The DVD forum and DVD drive standards disputes have nothing to do with them. It is nothing more than a driver is slightly different.

In Paul’s opinion, it was Microsoft’s support that allowed Feng Yu to eventually set up a DVD forum. Otherwise, will the DVD drive standard be supported by so many computer manufacturers?

However, he did not notice that Microsoft’s support at the time was just a icing on the cake, not a slap in the snow. Philips is the first company to cooperate with Feng Yu, and it attaches great importance to and respects Feng Yu. For example, the big companies in Europe are all connected by Philips, and Feng Yu has some contacts and some company. stand by.

Microsoft is indeed the Boss of the current market value of the company, but when it comes to hardware and other electronic products, Microsoft’s influence is really not that big, otherwise Sony will not refuse to let the new generation of PS take the Microsoft system.

The industry first is good, but it will also be the goal of other organizations in the industry to deal with. Those hardware manufacturers are strongly controlled by Microsoft, but haven’t you thought about countering Microsoft?

“Paul, it didn’t make sense at the beginning. The current situation is that Feng can do it himself, and we can do it ourselves, but after Feng himself, the possibility of success is higher and the cost will be lower. And we can do it ourselves, the possibility of success. The sex is lower and the cost will be higher. I don’t deny that if we are willing to invest, we can sell tens of millions of units, but can we make money?” Ballmer asked.

Microsoft has been afraid to make computers because of the boycott of hardware manufacturers. Once Microsoft has produced computers, other hardware manufacturers will unite and no longer use Microsoft’s systems. This will cause Microsoft to suffer huge losses, even to eliminate it. The disaster, because Microsoft is the benefit of other organizations, if they do not resist, sooner or later will be annexed by Microsoft.

And Microsoft’s GBOX is also a kind of attempt on hardware. Fortunately, the cake itself has few organizations and will not cause great resistance. But it will inevitably not be claimed, this is a prelude to Microsoft’s entry into the hardware market.

They will continue to publicize how bad Microsoft’s products are, and will never give Microsoft any help, or even support Sony, Nintendo and other faster development of new products, and fight Microsoft’s video game.

Cooperation is not only easier to succeed, but also to share risks. Although it costs a few hundred million dollars, or even a few dollars, it is nothing to Microsoft, but who can make money, who wants to lose money?

Bill knocked on the table: “Do you remember our goal? To be a necessity! The product we originally wanted to try is the set-top box of the TV. In the future, ordinary satellite TV will not meet the needs of the family, they can pass the set-top box. Watching the programs on the Internet, you can even go online through the set-top box. This TV video game has something in common with the set-top box in some technologies. We do GBOX, and we are also preparing for our future production of set-top boxes.”

The set-top box is the entry point that Bill Gates once thought of, a product between electronics and home appliances. Will not move the interests of those big Corporation, but once done, even if the market share is only half of the Microsoft system, it will be a huge profit!

Of course, the manufacturing technology of set-top boxes, they also do not, and there is no special set-top box manufacturer at present, so Microsoft has no good target of acquisition, first exercise its own technology, and then wait two years to enter the set-top box market, it seems to be a good s Choice.

At that time, my own technology had been exercised, and I could buy a set-top box to make a Corporation. Maybe I could open Feng Yu at that time, and they made their own TV video game.

“Bill, I know everything you said, I understand our plan. Cooperation can be, but we have to hold 50%. This is what we Microsoft should do!” When he heard Bill, Paul was also rare. Explain one sentence.

In fact, Paul’s words are also the thoughts of several shareholders, inner heart. They are Microsoft, the world’s number one company in the market capitalization. They used to buy other people’s Corporation. Now it is already a breakthrough in cooperation with other organizations.

Even if the controlling interest is given to the other party, it can’t be absolute control interest. So what is it, isn’t the other party talking about it? Doesn’t Microsoft be ridiculed by other organizations?

Ballmer said: “Paul, of course we understand that holding is what we Microsoft should do, but Microsoft is not everything. Although I believe that as long as we are willing to invest, we can do the best, but save money, why should Do you spend more money? This can also reduce our risk. Why not?”

“Ballmer, I know that your relationship with Feng is very good, but you have to speak from the perspective of Microsoft, not to help Feng!” Alan roared.

Ballmer is not happy either. He is also a shareholder and board member of Microsoft. Although the stock is less than Paul, Paul is not Bill Gates. Why should he criticize him by pointing his nose?

“I am just talking about Microsoft’s business perspective. Unlike some people, it is a matter of anger. Because of a little personal complaint, it affects the correct decision of the Corporation!”

Corporation’s No. 2 and No. 3 quarreled, and other board members wanted to express their opinions. Now they are not snoring, and they look at Bill Gates. At this time, only Bill can hold the scene.

“Two, I will say it again, this is Board of Directors! You can express different opinions and even disputes because of disagreement, but you can’t carry out personal attacks! We are all for Microsoft, and we are all for ourselves. Let’s vote now. I agree with this cooperation and agree to let Feng become the controlling shareholder!”

Bill Gates agreed, and Paul was shocked. Ballmer also immediately raised his hand and agreed. Others looked up and raised their hands. Only Paul did not raise his hand.

He stood up, turned and left, and came behind Bill Gates: “The proposal is passed!”
