[Microsoft's Windows 7 and Lenovo Kingsoft's XOS 2.0 are on sale at the same time. The PC operating system war is about to start.]
[Who will rise and fall? Between Microsoft and Lenovo Kingsoft, who will win this war?]
[Paul Allen claims that Microsoft is the world's best software developer. They had been negligent in the past, and this time, they will not give other companies any chances!]
[Qiu Bojun says to the media that Lenovo Kingsoft will be the world's number one software carrier!]
… …
The whole world's attention was focused on this matter. On this day, no entertainment news or political news could steal the headlines, not even the front page.
The operating system war between Microsoft and Lenovo Kingsoft is the focus of the world.
Not only software manufacturers are concerned about this. PC manufacturers, hardware manufacturers, internet service providers, etc., are also following this news.
Many companies unrelated to the IT industry are also following this news. If Microsoft wins, then its share prices will shoot up, and it might become the world's most valuable listed company.
If Microsoft loses, then Lenovo Kingsoft's share prices will shoot up, and if they buy more of Lenovo Kingsoft's shares, they will make high profits. Lenovo Kingsoft's market value might even be higher than Microsoft.
If one party wins, then it will be unpredictable. But if it ends in a draw, it will be more interesting.
The Walton Family's brothers are also watching this news. Walton Family's Walmart is the world's top 500 company. Although their profits are not as high as those software companies, their sales are high.
This is the world's number one company, and none of its shareholders are in the top 10 of < Forbes >. But the Walton Family's four brothers are ranked 11th to 14th. If they combine their assets, they might be worth more than Kirilenko and second only to Feng Yu.
The Walton Family wants Microsoft to win. They do not own Microsoft shares and are not good friends with Bill Gates, even though Bill Gates had bought a lot of Walmart shares.
This is because they do not want Feng Yu's assets to grow further. Taihua Holdings had recently contacted Walton Stores in North America to acquire another supermarket chain. This way, Tai Hua Supermarket will be getting closer to Walton Stores.
Without < Fortune >'s rule that only listed companies can enter the list, Taihua Holdings will be the top 500 company.
Just Tai Hua Supermarket alone is almost one-third of Walton Stores.
Being the world's number one was an excellent advertisement and brand promotion. Walmart's limelight was unparalleled. Also, Walton Stores can save a lot of advertising fees because of this exposure.
The number one company in the industry and the number one company in the world does not need to promote themselves. Naturally, other companies will promote for them.
They would become a benchmark, and many companies would be compared with them. At the same time, it would also be free publicity for them.
After Feng Yu became the World's Richest Man, many of Feng Yu's companies had increased their exposure, and Walmart does not care about this.
But Feng Yu's Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation had been expanding. Not only Wal-Mart could not enter the Chinese market, but Tai Hua Supermarket had also expanded to North America, Wal-Mart's main base.
If Feng Yu's influence continues to grow, then Feng Yu's subsidiaries will be the world's number one automobile, retail, banking, etc. after they beat Microsoft.
Many of Feng Yu's companies are the world's number one, and he will not let his companies lag behind others. Feng Yu was a shareholder of Microsoft in the past, but he dumped Microsoft and set up his own software company. Now, Feng Yu is able to compete with Microsoft and had even overtaken Microsoft in some of his businesses. It has only been a few years.
If Microsoft can win, then Feng Yu's attention will be diverted, and Walton Stores will have time to suppress Feng Yu's expansion while thinking of ways to enter the Hua Xia market.
Previously, Walton Stores had negotiated with Hua Xia's supermarket chains. But Hua Xia's state-owned assets intervened, and Walton Stores failed to acquire those supermarket chains.
Luckily, Wal-Mart bought over these two supermarket chains at a high price. Now, they have more than 100 branches in China. Although they are nothing compared to Tai Hua Supermarket Corporation, Wal-Mart is still confident. This is because they are the world's number one Wal-Mart.
… …
Toyota's staff is also watching this competition. They also hope Microsoft can win. They are worried about Feng Yu's rapid expansion like Walton Stores.
With the support of China, the fastest growing automobile market, Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group's growth is predictable. If Microsoft loses this competition, Feng Yu will shift his focus to the automobile industry.
Once Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group starts to expand in the US and Europe, they will go up against Toyota. Now, the automobile industry is declining, and it's the best time for Toyota to become the industry's number one. De Zhong had already stepped in to snatch the limelight, and Toyota does not want another obstacle.
… …
The bosses of the top banks in the US and Europe are also praying for Microsoft to win. To them, Bill Gates is easy to deal with, and they do not have any conflicts of interest.
But Feng Yu is different. He had made lots of profits in the financial market in the past two years, and now, he is going to enter the traditional banking industry. Feng Yu has enough cash, and if Lenovo Kingsoft wins, Feng Yu will have more funds in the future. This is a threat to all the banks.
The most frustrating thing is Minsheng Bank does not allow them to invest in Lenovo Kingsoft, and they have nothing to do with Lenovo Kingsoft's shares. Although Lenovo Kingsoft is listed, most of its shares are in Hua Xia, and it's hard for foreign investors to buy its shares. Although they can buy shares from Hong Kong, the quantity is low, and they cannot compete with Hong Kong tycoons.
That means Lenovo Kingsoft is making money, and they can't get any profits. They still have to watch their competitor's capital increase, and they are not willing to let this happen.
For the same reason, many people in other industries are concerned about this competition. But they are only concerned about Feng Yu.
All of them do not want to see Feng Yu's assets grow, and they do not want Feng Yu to interfere with their industries. All of them are afraid that after Feng Yu starts to interfere with their industries, Feng Yu will be the industry leader again.
Many people are just here to watch the show.
When everyone was concerned about these things, Feng Yu was sleeping soundly at home.
