"Nonsense, how is our XOS system a backward system? Their VISTA is the one that looks fancy. It seems to have added a lot of functions, but what's the use? "Lei Jun's face was full of displeasure at this time.
"Dajun, what's there to be angry about? They define themselves as high-end, and we define ourselves as ordinary people. They want their PCs to be high-end electronic products, and we want our PCs to be common household appliances. Tell me, which of us has a bigger market? "Qiu Bojun asked calmly.
Obviously, the market for home appliances will be bigger.
If it weren't for some reasons, they could not use small home appliances as an example. Then, small home appliances might also be affected by this storm.
For example, a Philips shaver is selling for almost 300 USD. But what about the cost? The cost will not be more than 50 USD. How many times are the profits?
Also, those small home appliances like music players are very profitable. These products are either produced by themselves or their allies. How can they attack them?
Liu Chuanzhi laughed and said. "Lenovo Kingsoft only has one competitor, and that is Microsoft. But Lenovo Group's competitors are most of the world's PC manufacturers. This time, we must not fail!"
If they fail this time, it will be a heavy blow to Lenovo Group and Lenovo Kingsoft. They might not be able to recover from this setback.
However, if he succeeded, then the benefits he would obtain would be obvious. Lenovo's market share will increase, and their brand awareness will increase. Their future profits will also increase.
"What did General Manager Feng say?" Lei Dajun asked.
"General Manager Feng said there is no need to panic. Microsoft had made the wrong move and will lose for sure! What can those PC manufacturers do to Lenovo Group? Our price-performance ratio is so high. Our marketing is also good, and our market is expanding. They want to redefine us as ordinary consumer electronics products, and their products are high-end consumer electronics products. "
"But it's impossible for them to succeed. No manufacturer can do this!"
Liu Chuanzhi is very confident. Lenovo Group's PC technologies are improving rapidly. Lenovo Group's R&D investments are no less than those world-class companies. Their labor costs are lower, and this makes them more competitive.
Just look at how many patented technologies Lenovo Group owns over the years. The exterior designs of many of their products were world-leading. Moreover, among the young consumers, they were number one.
Now, the Fruit Company and IBM were leaning towards the business segment, especially their notebook products. In other words, they still insisted on defining computers as high-end business electronic products.
On this point, Liu Chuanzhi believed that they were wrong.
Many people buy computers for leisure and entertainment. For example, in Internet cafes, how many people work? Ninety-nine percent of the people were there for leisure and entertainment.
Liu Chuanzhi agreed with Feng Yu's idea to define a PC as an ordinary home appliance. He was impressed by Feng Yu's thinking.
"But how do we fight back? We can't possibly fight a war of words with them in the media and compete for advertising resources, can we? "
Many of the comments in the media were guided by them. If he wanted to guide them, he would have to pay a price. If they wanted to advertise their products, they naturally had to spend a lot of money.
When all the PC manufacturers, hardware manufacturers, and software manufacturers joined in, the media made lots of money, and their advertising fees kept increasing.
Luckily, they have their own online media resources. China's web portals, overseas Google, etc. are supporting them, and the public opinion did not become one-sided.
But this way, it would become a money-burning war. Whoever did not have enough funds would be dragged down in the end. Which big companies do not have enough funds?
Only those small companies can be dragged down. But those small companies were never Lenovo's target.
Liu Chuanzhi laughed. "Didn't Microsoft say that their office software will not be compatible with our operating system? We will advertise that we have made our own patches, and our operating system is compatible with their software. Also, our software can run on their operating system. "
Lei Dajun and the rest thought for a while and understood Feng Yu's intention.
Microsoft wants to use this as an excuse to ostracize us. But we put on a facade and created our own compatibility patches and provided them to our users for free.
This way, they will be ahead in terms of reputation.
When Lenovo Kingsoft announced this news, many netizens started to support Lenovo Kingsoft, saying that Microsoft was too overbearing. But many people felt Microsoft's products are good to use, and there is nothing wrong with this. What's wrong with their products not supporting Microsoft's products?
But there are more people supporting Lenovo Kingsoft. In other words, Lenovo Silvermountain had placed itself in the position of a disadvantaged group, and people were born to have some sympathy for the disadvantaged.
Also, Microsoft's new products are too expensive. Many people did not want to change their PCs and wanted to install a new operating system, but they felt it was not worth it. They remembered the comments a few days ago. Microsoft is too profitable!
In the past, they had no choice but to choose Microsoft. But now, they have a choice. Why don't they choose Lenovo Kingsoft? XOS is well received on the internet, and it has a good reputation.
Also, there is nothing wrong with using it. Why don't they use a cheaper system?
Microsoft soon discovered that after they announced that their operating system is not compatible with Lenovo Kingsoft's products, their operating system sales dropped, and Lenovo Kingsoft's products sales increased.
Also, those PC manufacturers do not seem to be on the same side as them. It is obvious that XOS products are selling better, and those PC manufacturers will choose to promote their products.
Also, Lenovo Kingsoft had given them a higher share of the profits, and those PC manufacturers' profits had increased. Microsoft is used to being overbearing. Although their operating system's selling price is much higher than Lenovo Kingsoft, the PC manufacturers' shares are not as good as Lenovo Kingsoft.
Driven by profits, those PC manufacturers will not care about Microsoft anymore. You want us to promote your products? Fine. You all can lower your prices. If you all had offered the same price as XOS, we will let all our distributors to promote your operating system's products.
You all are the one making the most money from selling a PC. You all do not even need to pay for your shop's rental, etc. What we have to pay is not only the production cost, but also the transportation, storage, sales, marketing, etc!
XOS's sales continue to increase, and Vista's sales start to drop.
Microsoft is in trouble!
