Other than PC, Lenovo also has another important business. Lenovo Kingsoft's most important business is software development.
System software and application software, especially the office software of application software.
"The development of the system software is not fast, but it is not too slow either. The requirements you mentioned will increase the size of the system files by more than 10 GB. This is much bigger than Microsoft's Win98. "
"It's fine. Just think about the development of PC in the past few years. Two years ago, the mainstream hard drive was still 40GB. Now, the mainstream hard drive is 80GB. The high-end hard drive will be 160GB. After we develop this software, the mainstream hard drive will be 160GB or even 320GB. At that time, the hard drive will be nothing. It doesn't matter if we have high requirements for the CPU, graphics card, and RAM. What we want is easy to use. "
Anyway, all the hardware will be developed rapidly in the next few years, and there's nothing to be afraid of. They can even be like Apple in the future and focus on high-end brands.
"The development of the simplified version of the operating system you mentioned is even slower. It will take another 5 years before it can be developed. But I promise it will only be faster and not slower. "
5 years is enough for them to develop a simplified version of the operating system. At that time, the concept of smartphones had just been introduced and is not developed yet. After 2007, smartphones will start to develop rapidly, and it will become the mainstream in 10 years. Of course, it is also because of the rise of mobile applications. Non-smartphones cannot use these applications.
"What about the other applications? How's the development of our WPS office software? "
"We should be able to introduce a new generation around this time next year. The requirements you mentioned can already be met. We are already ahead of Microsoft Office in some of the functions, and all our branded PCs in China had installed this software since the second half of last year. "
Pre-installation is equivalent to bundling sales, just like the pre-installation of the Win system. After Win98 was introduced, both parties signed a new agreement. This time, it will only include the operating system and not the office software.
Microsoft thought this will increase their profits, and their customers will be used to their office software. Even if they charge for the office software, they will still be willing to spend money. This year, they will not be providing free upgrades for the older versions.
But they did not expect this to give Lenovo Kingsoft a good opportunity. They can install WPS office software on their PCs, and people will like and get used to using this software.
This version is not as good as Microsoft's version, but it is compatible and does not cost extra. Actually, the money was included in the price of the computer.
Next year, Feng Yu will launch a new generation of better office software and start selling it. But the fees are not high and are much cheaper than Microsoft.
Even so, Lenovo Kingsoft can still make money.
"Remember, the most important thing is compatibility! No matter if it is the PC system or application software, we must make it compatible with Microsoft products. If Microsoft is not compatible with us, then they will be eliminated from the Hua Xia market and Eastern Europe market! "
"General Manager Feng, you are also Microsoft's shareholder and director. This … …"
Feng Yu waved his hand. "At the end of this year, I will sell all my Microsoft shares and bid farewell to Microsoft. I think Lenovo Group will be more promising than Microsoft in the future. This is because we have both hardware and software. Microsoft only has software. "
In Feng Yu's previous life, Microsoft's market value will reach its peak at the end of this year. In this life, Feng Yu saw signs of an internet bubble.
There are so many so-called internet technology companies. What kind of lousy products do they have? Their share prices are still rising. How can they have such high returns?
It could be said that after being packaged with the so-called high-tech concept, it was hyped up by those investors. Once the policies changed, or some big investors pulled out, the share prices will surely fall.
Also, once the share prices fall, it will not be easy to recover, and it will affect the entire industry's share prices.
What if there are no big investors selling their shares?
Feng Yu is a big investor!
Feng Yu's Microsoft shares are worth more than 10 billion USD. If he sells all his shares, many investors will think that Feng Yu had lost confidence in Microsoft. Feng Yu is still a director of Microsoft.
This will send a signal that Microsoft has problems.
Once Microsoft's share prices fall, as the company with the highest market value, the rest of the company's shares will fall, and the rest of the internet technology companies will fall. Then, the internet technology bubble will burst.
In Feng Yu's previous life, internet companies like Sina, Sohu, NetEase, etc. got listed. Their share prices shot up, and within a short time, these companies were listed on Hua Xia's Billionaires list.
But soon, as the internet bubble burst, the value of these companies dropped. But to the Chinese investors, they did not suffer any losses. It was those investors in the US who suffered losses.
This was because these three companies were listed in the US. They had raised funds in the US and brought the funds back to Hua Xia to develop. Even if the share prices fell below the IPO price, these three companies will not suffer any losses. In fact, they had made profits.
The shares could only be sold for 5 RMB, but they had raised 8 RMB. Now, the shares had fallen to 4 RMB, and they can buy back their shares.
This was equivalent to borrowing money to develop their companies. They had not paid the interest, and they had made profits. The foreign investors were the ones who suffered losses.
That's why Feng Yu told Sina, Sohu, and NetEase that they will be listed at the end of this year. They will be listed on the US Nasdaq as the internet technology industry is booming.
After the bubble burst, they can buy back their shares, and they can still be delisted. No matter what, they will not suffer any losses. But this will cause some problems for the companies in the future. If they want to get listed again, they will have to go through stringent checks, and they will not be popular anymore.
"Oh, General Manager Feng, Lenovo is planning to get listed. Do you think it will work if we get listed in the US?" Liu Chuanzhi asked.
"What's wrong? The company does not have enough funds? Why do you want to get listed? "Lenovo had planned to get listed in Hong Kong two years ago but was stopped by Feng Yu.
"We do not have enough funds. We just want Lenovo to establish our brand in the US and Europe. We want people to know that we are a big company! If our market value is very high, it will give consumers a lot of confidence. They will think highly of our brand and our products. "
Feng Yu felt that he could not stop Lenovo from getting listed.
"Then get listed in the US. Nasdaq or NYSE will do. Lenovo is the top PC manufacturer in Asia now, and their share prices will surely shoot up after they get listed. Hmmm … I can introduce a few companies to you. I guarantee the share prices will shoot up when the market opens. "
Seems like Lenovo can also make use of this opportunity to make money. What reason does Feng Yu have to stop them?
After getting listed, Lenovo will have more funds, and they will be able to expand overseas faster. Those who looked down on Hua Xia's PC and Hua Xia's IT companies can only regret!
