The negotiations ended on a sour note. Feng Yu had wanted to work with Microsoft as Microsoft is famous for their software. But Bill Gates hinted to Feng Yu that he will fail if he starts the software himself, and Feng Yu cannot take it. What's more, there was Paul Allen, who had been mocking him.
Feng Yu admits that Microsoft's current market value is more than double of Feng Yu's two holding companies. But Microsoft does not belong to Bill Gates alone, and Feng Yu's assets through his two holding companies is not a small amount. Even if his combined assets cannot be compared to Microsoft, it will not be a big difference.
If Feng Yu's relationship with Kirilenko, the Fu Family, and the Li Family, his assets will surely exceed Microsoft.
But the Fu Family and the Li Family can only guarantee that Feng Yu's assets will not be taken over by those conglomerates. They cannot help Feng Yu to take over those conglomerates.
For example, Feng Yu can guarantee that Kirilenko will help him fight against Microsoft, but he cannot guarantee the Fu Family and the Li Family will help him.
There were also distant and distant relations among business partners. Obviously, Feng Yu and Kirilenko's cooperation is better.
Of course, it might also be due to Kirilenko's wealth and Feng Yu's help. Without Feng Yu, the Fu Family and the Li Family will still be one of the top families in Hong Kong and Asia. But without Feng Yu's help, Kirilenko might also be a tycoon. But it will be difficult for him to become the richest man in Europe. He might not even become the richest man in Russia.

"Manager Feng, you are saying that our WPS foreign language version can be released to the rest of the world? Yes. We had wanted to release it a long time ago. That Office is not as good as ours, and the features are worse than us. Their prices are higher than us, but they are still popular. Within a month, we will be able to take over the market share. "
Microsoft OFICE had just released a new version, and it is still on sale. However, the old version could still be used, so the number of people who bought the new version was not particularly high.
With the popularization of the new version, the old version would not be compatible with the new version. This would stimulate people to change the version, and their sales would gradually increase.
This was a good opportunity to seize the market.
But Feng Yu had asked Qiu Bojun to control the market and did not release the WPS software in foreign languages. He had wanted to discuss with Bill Gates to split the market between them. This way, other software companies will not be able to enter the market.
But looking at the other party's attitude, Feng Yu didn't mention this at all. Even if Feng Yu proposed this, the other party would still want to split the market share based on the current market share. Then, Lenovo Kingsoft will be at a disadvantage.
Microsoft thought it was a big company and looked down on Lenovo Kingsoft. But they did not know that Lenovo Kingsoft had cooperated with many software companies in many countries to release WPS in many languages. Lenovo Kingsoft did not try to snatch Microsoft's market share.
This was not as simple as converting the languages. Microsoft still had to consider if the other party's characters would affect the software. If there were technical problems, then the first shot would be fired.
Microsoft's profits were very high, and it was because they had developed software that was easy to use. Their products were selling well, and each of their flagship products had sold tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of units.
But now, their competitor is here.
… …
"The new version of WPS had a breakthrough in functionality. This is compared to Microsoft Office. We had added … new functions and fixed some loopholes. Kingsoft's anti-virus software had also added a macro virus scanner. Currently, it only supports WPS."
The macro virus was a highly contagious virus. It was hard to detect, spread quickly, and was very destructive. It was hard to prevent and control. Before Feng Yu's rebirth, many people's computers were infected with the macro virus.
Either it was infected by someone else's file, or it was infected by an email, causing many problems such as being unable to edit, unable to print, and randomly copying. It was very annoying.
If someone's computer was infected with the macro virus, the whole office's computers would be infected.
If a computer was infected with the macro virus, it would affect the security of the files.
Now, WPS's macro virus could be detected, and people felt safer. At this time, WPS had also introduced various foreign language versions of their software, and some overseas companies started to buy their software.
Microsoft Office was powerful because it had become the industry standard for office software. WPS's standards were the same as Microsoft Office, and many people's habits were not affected.
But WPS had upgraded these standards and made it more powerful, easier to use, and safer. This had challenged Microsoft's position in the industry.
Microsoft had never thought that it would be challenged by other companies in the future. Microsoft did not dare to claim they had monopolized this industry, but their software sales were the highest in the world. All the different countries' software must be compatible with Microsoft Office.
When WPS was compatible with Microsoft Office, Bill Gates and the rest were still disdainful. They felt that Microsoft was an uncreative company that could only imitate their products.
Do you think you can make money by selling at low prices? If we sell 100,000 units, our profits will be higher than if you sell 1 million units! Also, our brand is more famous, and you are using the standards we set.
The biggest advantage of a company that sets the standards is to increase the entry barrier for their products and keep their competitors out.
Now, Lenovo Kingsoft had increased the entry barrier for their products, and it started to affect Microsoft.
Microsoft was the one setting the standards, and now, it was Lenovo Kingsoft that was affected by the standards.
Someone said the macro virus was created by Hua Xia's people. It appeared on pirated software and spread overseas. There were also people who said that it was transmitted back to the country from abroad, and that it was first created by some people who stole documents through viruses.
Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors, but regardless of whether it was the original version or the pirated version, the macro virus still existed. Microsoft's OFICE can only warn users, but many anti-virus software cannot kill it.
But now, Lenovo Kingsoft's anti-virus software can only kill WPS, and this is troublesome.
This means Lenovo's software is much more secure than Microsoft's Office. People would instinctively choose WPS, not to mention that this software was more powerful and cheaper.
Now, WPS's marketing slogan is' Leading Office, leading office software '. This made Microsoft hate WPS very much.
Now, Microsoft Office in Hua Xia is not selling well, and their overseas sales are also affected. Those foreign companies had also bought WPS, and there are foreign language versions of WPS.
The person in charge of Microsoft's Hua Xia branch immediately reported to the headquarters, and he found out that this is not the end.
