"Chairman, based on our investigations, after the activation code generator was introduced, Lenovo Kingsoft's office software sales had dropped and is almost at a standstill." Microsoft's Hua Xia representative reported to Ballmer.
Ballmer was not satisfied. Why are you sounding so proud? Don't you know that our Microsoft Office software is also not selling?
But more people are using Microsoft Office, and they can slowly add new features to their software. But some of the features are not compatible with Lenovo Kingsoft's office software. This way, they can slowly squeeze out Lenovo Kingsoft and occupy the market share.
After three years, the users will get used to introducing new office software and charge the users again. They will not upgrade their existing software, and they will have the market share and profits.
"Ok. But we still need to think of ways to market our software. We can target those large enterprises and Hua Xia's government departments. Those government departments might not trust our free software." Ballmer reminded.
After hanging up, Ballmer was satisfied with this solution. Although Microsoft had suffered significant losses, they had snatched some market share from Hua Xia.
It was also the same in Eastern Europe. They had used the same method to snatch the market share.
As for the western countries and regions, they were Microsoft's territories. Although Lenovo Kingsoft's pricing was half of Microsoft's, it was also because of this that the big companies did not trust their software.
In many people's hearts, there was no such thing as cheap goods.
Also, many people in many countries felt that Hua Xia's software was not good.
Do Hua Xia have any good software engineers? Even if there were, they will be in Microsoft's Hua Xia branch or other multinational companies' branches. As for Hua Xia's local companies, they are too weak!
Lenovo Kingsoft is not well known, and their brand is not well known. Although Lenovo Kingsoft had a significant impact on Microsoft's office software market, the impact was not significant. Ballmer felt that if he can defeat Lenovo Kingsoft in their home territory, the rest of the market will return to Microsoft.
There are all sorts of office software in different countries and regions. But who can compete with Microsoft Office? Those that are still passable are using Microsoft Office standards. In other words, they are just following the trend.
If Microsoft can't even suppress imitators, then it is not worthy to be the leader in the software industry.
Microsoft's biggest competitor in office software is Lenovo Kingsoft. Hmm, maybe even the smartphone system.
Let's see how you're going to develop after cutting off your source of income. Who is Microsoft afraid of when it comes to funds?
Microsoft's core businesses are operating system, office software, instant messaging software, browser, and media player.
Apart from the video player, they were also the best in the industry in several other areas. Everyone else was dwarfed by them. Even IBM could be suppressed, how could they not suppress Hua Xia's company?
Even if Feng Yu had shares in this company, they did not care about it!
Just the office software alone will not give Lenovo Kingsoft a lot of pressure. Lenovo Kingsoft still has anti-virus software and operating system businesses. Even in these businesses, Lenovo Kingsoft will still give Lenovo Kingsoft a heavy blow!

"Microsoft had released a new version of their smartphone operating system. The operating system is much better than our previous versions, and some aspects are better than our previous versions. Also, they had added some apps for download, and users can pay to download them on Microsoft's official website. This has attracted a lot of attention. "
"Samsung, Dopod, Motorola, etc. had all responded to this. Now, even Sony Ericsson and other Japanese manufacturers are joining in. This will increase their popularity. The more manufacturers use their operating system, the more people will be used to their operating system. This is not good for us. "
Xu Lihua sat opposite Qiu Bojun and asked him when the HOS upgrade will be completed. If they lag behind Microsoft by too much, it will affect Wind and Rain Mobile and Aiwa Mobile's sales. Aiwa Mobile is planning to use Aiwa's brand to enter the Japanese market!
If it is effective, they will also market it in South Korea and Taiwan. Anyway, Wind and Rain Mobile's sales are not doing well in those countries.
Qiu Bojun felt things are getting troublesome. Why did Microsoft introduce a new smartphone operating system so soon? But this is not surprising. After all, the other party is Microsoft.
"Don't worry, Manager Xu. We are prepared and can introduce the new version now. Although it is not a lot, it will not be worse than Microsoft. Also, we can continue to upgrade within a month. I guarantee our technologies will not be worse than Microsoft in this area. "
Qiu Bojun comforted Xu Lihua, but he is still worried. This time, they might be able to take the lead. But if Microsoft becomes serious and invest large amounts of funds into R&D. Can they still survive?
In the past, there are not many manufacturers using Microsoft's operating system, and Microsoft's profits are low. But now, more manufacturers are using Microsoft's operating system, and Microsoft's profits will increase. Microsoft will have more funds to invest in R&D. Things will not be easy.
"I am relieved that Manager Qiu said so. I will speak to Old Jiang about Wind & Rain Electronics. Also, we should develop more apps. There are too few of them. "
Qiu Bojun thought to himself. Although Lenovo Kingsoft is the biggest software company in Hua Xia, we have a long way to go.
Also, most of our R&D. Most of our R&D staff are focused on developing PC operating systems. Where will we find the time to develop apps?
"I will try my best."

"Chairman, Trend Micro had introduced a new version of their anti-virus software and had signed agreements with many large companies. They had snatched away many of our customers."
Trend Micro is a Japanese company and one of the top anti-virus software companies in the world. Not only it is a listed company, but it is also a constituent of the Nikkei.
This company's main focus is on corporate security, and it is the world's largest corporate security software company. As for personal anti-virus software, it is not very famous.
Qiu Bojun rubbed his temples. These few days, he had received lots of bad news.
"I know. Is there anything else?"
"Also, they have also launched a personal anti-virus software. It's a Chinese version. They're obviously coming in aggressively."
Trend Micro had introduced a Chinese version of their personal anti-virus software? This will be troublesome, as this will affect Hua Xia's anti-virus software market.
Hua Xia's anti-virus software market is already crowded, and Kingsoft had finally taken the lead. But now, the outcome is unpredictable.
Qiu Bojun does not know this has something to do with Microsoft. Of course, it has something to do with another company.
