"Ballmer, have you seen Lenovo's announcement?" Bill Gates frowned and asked.
"You are saying that Lenovo Group will only install XOS in their branded products in the future?"
"What do you think about this?"
"I think they are trying to follow the example of Fruit. But Fruit's products are not selling well. Whether it was their software or PC, they were not the best. But when combined, they have an outstanding performance in terms of speed. It's very suitable for business work, "Ballmer replied after some thought.
"Why don't you think they are the second IBM? They are also dabbling in both software and hardware. "
"IBM was once the IT leader in the US market. But because they are taking care of multiple aspects, they were overtaken. But Lenovo Group is different. Their hardware and software are separate. Also, they have the advantage in the Hua Xia and Eastern Europe markets, and IBM cannot compete with them. "
"That's why I think IBM's potential cannot be compared to Lenovo Group and Kingsoft, especially when Feng Yu owns shares in these two companies. Everyone should know how amazing Feng Yu is."
Bill Gates was not satisfied with Ballmer's answer. What do you mean by Feng Yu is amazing? Microsoft is inferior? Microsoft is the IT industry's miracle!
"Have you thought of a way to deal with them?"
"We have come up with an idea. We will let all the IT companies know that Feng Yu had invested in Lenovo, Lenovo Kingsoft, AMD, Nvidia, Aiwa Electronics, etc. He is ambitious and wants to unify the IT industry!"
"Unify the IT industry? How can anyone believe this? "All of Feng Yu's companies are not the world's number one. How can he unify the IT industry? Without a leading company, how can he break through?
"What if we say that they want to overtake IBM? What if we say that they want to acquire IBM? "
"Acquire IBM? Feng Yu really said this? "Bill Gates was shocked.
If Lenovo Group and IBM merged, they will become the leading company in the IT industry. Although Feng Yu will not be able to monopolize the market, he will be able to suppress Microsoft and Intel.
"Actually, it is Liu Chuanzhi, the Chairman of Lenovo Group. He had told IBM that he wants to acquire all of IBM's PC business, including branding, manufacturing, sales, etc. If this is successful, Lenovo Group's PC business will become the world's number one! "
When Bill Gates heard Ballmer's words, he couldn't help but pause his cigar. Feng Yu could tell Lenovo Group is really ambitious.
Luckily it is only the PC business. If Lenovo Group, Lenovo Kingsoft, and IBM merged, they will become the IT industry leader and will overtake Microsoft in terms of software. They will not be sued for monopolization unless they merge AMD, Nvidia, Kingston, etc. But normal managers will not choose to merge with them.
Seeing that Bill Gates was silent, Ballmer continued, "As long as we spread this news, it will definitely be more beneficial to us. No company will be willing to see Lenovo Group become so big. Especially with Lenovo Group's growth, they will get a slice of the cake. "
"The most important person here is Feng. Because of him, people will believe this rumor. If not, who can afford to acquire IBM? IBM's shareholders will not sell their shares. A small fish can't eat a big fish, but a shark can eat a whale! "
Ballmer's idea is to praise Lenovo Group and make it sound like Lenovo Group is powerful and ambitious. After that, the other IT companies will form an alliance to suppress Lenovo Group.
Most importantly, Microsoft does not need to pay any price for this.

The media suddenly reported about Feng Yu's investment in an IT company and pointed out that Feng Yu wants to be in the hardware, software, network, and communications industries at the same time. He wants to be the leader of the IT industry and set the rules.
This means Feng Yu wants to be the leader, and the rest of the companies must listen to Feng Yu in the future.
This rumor caused an uproar in the industry.
Especially the representatives of those IT companies. They are the most nervous.
For example, Asian Tiger, the leader of web portals. These representatives thought of Feng Yu's investments in Hua Xia's web portals and other internet companies in the US.
For example, when Interpol thought of Chao Wei's series of actions, he became much more vigilant.
There was also ATI. They felt that Nvidia was becoming more and more of a threat and could surpass them at any time. The other mobile phone manufacturers noticed Wind and rain mobile phone sales are increasing, and Lenovo is about to become the world's second largest mobile phone manufacturer.
IBM is second, and Apple is second. This is what the industry thinks of Lenovo Group. They even felt that because of Feng Yu, Lenovo Group will overtake IBM or Apple sooner or later.
This also caused Lenovo Group's share prices to shoot up, and Lenovo Kingsoft's valuation increased by a large margin.
Feng Yu closed his notebook. IBM is second, and Apple is second? Nonsense!
Feng Yu had never wanted to be second. He wants to walk a unique path. The media reported that Feng Yu wants to dominate the IT industry and become the top IT tycoon. This is what Feng Yu wants.
After he becomes the leader, he can set the rules. Those who set the rules will have an easier time developing than those who follow the rules. This is because he has the authority to change the rules!
In Feng Yu's previous life, Apple's software and hardware are very proud. From PC to MP3 players, to mobile phones, tablets, etc., Apple has become the most high-end product in the industry.
All the other brands' products had to be compared with the Fruit Company's products to prove the excellence of their own products. But they did not realize that they had acknowledged Apple's position as the leader of Apple.
In this life, Apple had just started to develop tablets and mobile phones. The tablet is still not a success, and Apple's mobile phones are developed with Motorola. Their main product is music mobile phones.
In this life, Apple is not as successful as Feng Yu's previous life. In Feng Yu's previous life, Apple's iPod had made them a lot of profits. In this life, Aiwa's MP3 players are overshadowed by Aiwa. Aiwa is the market leader in the music player industry. It is not Apple, Sony, or other brands.
If Aiwa can overtake Apple and Sony, why can't they overtake other PC manufacturers and software manufacturers?
Last month, Feng Yu had told Taihua Holdings' top management meeting that their company must not be the second. They must be the best!
