"I am so happy. I am in a good mood. The 3,000 RMB bill is in my pocket …"
"Cough!" Feng Yu stood behind Wu Chih-gang and cleared his throat. "How can you be so happy with just 3,000 RMB? Who is so stupid to give our Taihua Holdings's Deputy CEO such a small gift? "
Wu Chih-gang smiled embarrassedly. "Boss, are you not happy? Microsoft's Office software is finished! Someone had created a universal activation code generator, and their original software sales plummeted. Based on our statistics, their sales had dropped by more than 90% these few days. In a few more days, their sales will drop to zero! "
"Their software cannot sell, but do you think our software can sell? Others are using free software, and we will not be affected? This was a kind of self-inflicted injury, harming the enemy a thousand times. Don't forget that we had invested more in our advertising. "Feng Yu reminded Feng Yu.
That's right. Microsoft's Office software had suffered a heavy blow, but Lenovo Kingsoft was also affected. The overseas environment is different from China. There are not many pirated software, and people are not as crazy as in China when they download their software online.
In Feng Yu's previous life, someone had said that not many people use free software overseas. This is because downloading is troublesome, and users are worried about security. In China, not many people use paid software because they need to spend money. Why should they spend money when there are free software?
Even if someone were to burn a CD and sell it, Microsoft can also get the government to crack down on them. Using pirated software to make profits is illegal.
But after pirated software appeared, those small office software companies will be eliminated. Their products cannot be sold, and no one is using their free software. They will not be able to make profits.
Small companies do not have enough funds, and this will be enough to force them out of the market. If this is only for a short period of time, it's fine. But this will last for at least two to three years, and small companies will not survive.
The company that suffered the most is Microsoft, followed by Lenovo Kingsoft, and the third is Softbank.
Softbank had invested in many IT related companies, and many of them are in the office software industry. This way, many of the companies would have no choice but to suffer in silence because they would not have any customers. In serious cases, the company might even go bankrupt.
Feng Yu and the rest knew that they will be competing with Microsoft for the future market.
When the world's number one and number two began to crazily compete with each other, the one ranked behind would generally suffer a great loss. For example, in Feng Yu's previous life, Coca-Cola and Pepsi were fighting for the market share in Hua Xia.
Then, the Pink Coke and Flying Coke all disappeared. While Jia Duo Bao and Wang Laoji were competing for the market share, Harmony Zheng, which had been selling well, suddenly disappeared from the screen.
This was a disguised form of pushing out the people at the back, opening up the echelon. Companies with insufficient funds were destined to be in the second echelon at best, or even fall behind.
"Alright, the advertising fees have been spent, so let's continue to maintain this popularity. Maybe a lot of people will use these two kinds of software. Our software is not expensive. Of course, some people are worried that Microsoft's free software might not last long, and it is easy to be infected with viruses and trojan horses. That's why most users will still choose to use the original version. Especially those companies, they must be worried about the security of pirated office software. "Feng Yu pointed out.
"Yes. We are also thinking the same thing. We must capture a batch of users within two to three years, and when we introduce a new version of office software with Microsoft, we will have the upper hand. "
Have the upper hand? His ambition was not small. User inertia is a strong habit. Microsoft's office software had been the industry standard for at least five years, and it is not realistic to knock them down immediately.
Microsoft's technologies are very strong, and they had caught Microsoft off guard this time. Furthermore, their R&D cost is much lower than Microsoft. But in two years, Lenovo Kingsoft's engineers' salaries will increase, and they will not have such an advantage in terms of cost.
Luckily, Feng Yu had thought of this in advance. Taihua Holdings and Wind and Rain Holdings had been working together for a few years. This is India's Tata Group. This group is a multi-industry conglomerate and is India's number one conglomerate.
Among them, Tata Consulting is also very powerful in terms of software. India is also one of the top companies in the world's IT industry.
The most common way to get rid of the big boss is to get the other companies to work together to push the big boss down, and then they will split the big boss's assets.
Most importantly, Feng Yu and Tata Group have many projects, including automobile, electronics, IT, trading, chemicals, etc. Tata Group is India's number one conglomerate, and they will be involved in all the projects Feng Yu is involved in. Tata Group has more than 100 subsidiaries, and it is more than Feng Yu's company.
Feng Yu did not find any suitable partners in the US. He had wanted to work with Bill Gates, but it seems impossible now.
That's why it is important to find new partners. In Europe, there are Philips, Thomson, etc. companies. Although they are not as comprehensive as Tata Group, they are still the best in their respective fields.
Bill Gates felt that Feng Yu's foundation is too shallow, and Feng Yu will show him how the younger generation overtakes the older generation!
Tata Communications had acquired the majority shares of India's Capone Mobile, but they are slightly behind in mobile phone research and development. Initially, India's mobile phone market is dominated by Nokia and Samsung, followed by Motorola and Capone, and Wind and Rain and Sony Ericsson.
But Tata Communications wants to revitalize their brand, and they started to cooperate with Taihua Holdings in mobile phones.
They are targeting Wind and Rain Mobile's cheapest mobile phone technologies and smartphones. The cheapest mobile phone technology is mainly determined by the materials and production cost. Hence, Wind & Rain Electronics started to cooperate with Capone Mobile on the condition that Wind and Rain Mobile will produce the cheapest mobile phone.
In the future, the title of the world's manufacturing power will gradually shift from Hua Xia to India. Even Foxconn, a global manufacturing standard, had shifted their focus from Hua Xia to India because the labor costs there are cheaper.
Feng Yu's plan is to let India become the OEM. Hua Xia should not only focus on the lowest value-added manufacturing, but should also focus on research and development.
If one day, those developed countries can produce the OEM for Hua Xia's products, it will be more successful.
Feng Yu remembered that there is one company that did it, and that is the world leader in the microwave oven industry – Grans. Wind & Rain Electronics had also researched microwave and light oven technologies, but they decided to use their technologies to invest in Grans in exchange for a small amount of shares.
Under the leadership of their boss, Grans not only rushed out of the country and became the world's largest producer and seller, but also redefined the microwave oven, lowering the price of the microwave oven from more than two thousand dollars to less than five hundred dollars.
What makes Feng Yu proud is that Grans had hired a Japanese company to produce their products, and they paid them 5 USD per unit. In the past, it had always been Japanese brands looking for Chinese companies to manufacture their products for them. But Grans had done the exact opposite and still succeeded.
Feng Yu is also thinking of letting Japan and even the US to produce the OEM for Hua Xia's products.
