Just when Bill Gates thought he can suppress Lenovo Kingsoft in Hua Xia's market, he realized there are serious problems with the companies he acquired.
"What are you doing? Why didn't you sign new employment contracts with the existing elites after you acquired the company? You had included the value of these people in the evaluation report you gave me, right? Where are the talents now? "
Ballmer threw the documents on the floor. If it wasn't for the fact that he will be sued, he would have done the same.
He had spent so much money to acquire a worthless company, and it was because he was interested in the talents in those companies. In the end, those talents had left!
All the money Ballmer had spent in the past was for nothing. Without those talents, the value of those companies will drop by half!
"I also did not expect these people's contracts to be so problematic. They did not even have to pay a penalty for resigning."
Hua Xia's companies had a low penalty for resigning employees. Furthermore, many software companies were set up by friends, and some of them do not even have to pay a penalty for resigning.
In many contracts, there is no requirement to pay a penalty for resigning employees. That's why there are many loopholes in these contracts.
If Microsoft had found a loophole, it will not be a problem. But now, someone else had used this loophole and caused Microsoft to suffer losses. This is a big problem.
Ballmer felt that his future was bleak. Originally, Bill Gates supported him and gave him the positions of President and CEO. But now, he was afraid that Bill Gates would take at least one of them.
If it is serious, both positions might be taken away.
This will not only affect Ballmer's income, but it will also affect his career.
After such a serious mistake, which company will hire such a senior executive in the future?
"President, I had asked my men to sign new contracts with those people and retain a group of them. Also, the companies poaching these people are mainly Hua Xia's companies. I suspect this is all premeditated! "
"So what if this is premeditated? It is still your fault. You did not notice this. If you had noticed this earlier, you will not let this happen. Also, why are you not in Hua Xia to settle this? What are you doing here? Go back now and poach people from other companies. Poach people from Lenovo Kingsoft! "
"If we still can't do it well this time, then we should find someone more capable in the Hua Xia branch."
Hua Xia's branch had just expanded. If they lost this good position, it would be a huge loss. The president of Hua Xia's branch promised that the company would be satisfied this time and left in a hurry.
…
"Old Lei, we had poached so many people from Microsoft. Why didn't they do anything?"
"They quickly signed new contracts with their employees and retained some of the people we wanted to poach with high salaries. However, it won't affect our plan much. We've already poached nearly one-third of the talents we want. "
So fast? Feng Yu was also very satisfied with the work of Lei Jun and others.
Of course, this time, other than Lenovo Kingsoft, Wang Zhixi, Ma Huateng, Ma Yun, Li Yanhong, and the rest had also poached some network related technical staff.
Not only the people from the newly acquired companies, but some of the people from Microsoft's Hua Xia branch had also left. They could not stand the arrogance of those foreigners.
Microsoft had become a cradle for them to nurture their talents.
This time, Microsoft had spent a large sum to acquire many IT companies, but they had suffered huge losses.
Money has a price, but talent is hard to find!
"Well done. You had made Microsoft suffer some losses this time. But don't be too happy. Even if Microsoft had lost 1 billion, it will not affect them much. Also, we must be careful of Microsoft's retaliation. "
Microsoft will not let this slide, and they will surely come up with some measures to counter it.
"Microsoft had also started to poach people from our company. Luckily, we had thought of this in advance, and our company's culture is good. Although some of our people had been poached, all our core technical staff are still around!"
None of the core technical personnel had been poached. This was not an easy feat. Seems like letting Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun manage Lenovo Kingsoft is effective. Their idea of setting a goal and working hard together was very cohesive.
"That's good. But Microsoft's expansion this time is a big problem. Hua Xia is our headquarters, and it will not be good for us if we let Microsoft grow bigger. It will also affect our share prices when we get listed. "
Feng Yu was chatting with Liu Chuanzhi when the phone on his desk rang. It's Wilson.
Why is Wilson here?
Wilson entered Feng Yu's office and immediately reported. "Boss, I found a problem, and it might help us deal a blow to Microsoft."
What Wilson found must be a part of the law.
Feng Yu's eyes brighten up. If they can sue Microsoft and win, it will be a huge blow to Microsoft.
"Tell me."
"Yesterday, Hua Xia had passed the Anti-Monopoly Law, and there is a clause in the law. Operators with market dominance cannot abuse their position to eliminate or restrict competition."
Feng Yu was overjoyed. The Anti-Monopoly Law was passed?
If it weren't for Feng Yu's suggestion, he doesn't know when the Anti-Monopoly Law will be passed. At that time, the leaders were surprised. Many of Feng Yu's companies are monopolizing the Chinese market.
But after referring to other countries' Anti-Monopoly laws and Hua Xia's situation, they could not find any problems with Feng Yu's companies.
But now, this draft law is a great help.
"Boss, Microsoft's operating system software will force Internet Explorer and Microsoft Video Player to be installed. This is a way to eliminate competition. This is not only in Hua Xia. It is also the same in the US. "
The last time Microsoft was sued in Europe was because of bundling sales. However, these two apps were completely free. Even if they are free, Microsoft can still get some revenue from advertising, etc., and bundling sales should not be a problem.
"Are you confident of winning this round?" Feng Yu asked seriously.
"I am confident of winning. At least, I can get Hua Xia's government to give Microsoft a heavy fine. I think if we are involved in a lawsuit, and it is a monopoly case, it will affect Microsoft's market share in Hua Xia. "Wilson laughed.
Feng Yu patted Wilson's shoulder excitedly. "Good job. I will pay for this lawsuit. Sue them!"
