Bill Gates called Feng Yu personally and asked Feng Yu for a meeting. Feng Yu is also interested to see what Bill Gates wants.
Hmph!
When Kirilenko saw Paul Allen, he snorted and his eyes were filled with disdain.
Feng Yu had told him that most of the time, you don't need to say anything. You only need to look at someone with your expression. Some people are not worth mocking.
Paul Allen had already thought of what Feng Yu and the rest would say to him and how he will retaliate. But the other party did not say anything. Kirilenko only snorted and gave him a look of disdain. Feng Yu was even worse. He walked past Kirilenko as if he was invisible!
Feng Yu and Kirilenko sat on the sofa. Bill Gates' office is still the same as before. Kirilenko smirked. This is called an office? Even my assistant's office is two times bigger than this!
"Gates, you invited us over. Just tell us what you want."
Bill Gates heard Feng Yu's way of addressing him and could tell that Feng Yu is not close to him. Friends call each other by their first names, and only people who are not close will call each other by their surnames.
Bill Gates waited for his secretary to serve him a cup of coffee before saying. "Feng, Kirilenko, both of you are Lenovo Kingsoft's major shareholders. I had called you both over because of this company."
"Microsoft and Lenovo Kingsoft are the world's number one and number two software companies. We don't need to compete with each other. We can work together to crush our competitors. The market is huge, and we can divide the market. "
Based on the market value, Lenovo Kingsoft is not as good as IBM and should be ranked third. But their influence and potential are very high, and many media had ranked Lenovo Kingsoft second.
Kirilenko replied. "Divide the market? Sure. I am from Europe, and the European market belongs to me. Feng is from Asia, and the Asian market belongs to us. We will let you have the US market and even the African market. "
Feng Yu almost laughed out loud. Kirilenko's allocation of the market is too fair.
The North American market might seem huge, but the size of the entire North American market is about the same as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
The total US market is not even comparable to Western Europe. This is because there are more developed countries in Europe, and their consumers are more powerful. Their internet and electronics are more popular. All this while, Microsoft's operating system's selling prices in Europe are higher than in the US.
The largest market in Asia was Hua Xia. It had already surpassed Japan and Korea, not to mention the emerging India market.
Now, Kirilenko had taken away the top two markets and left the US market for Microsoft. You call Africa a market? It is not even as big as the Japanese market.
Paul Allen could not help but say, "Kirilenko, are you kidding me? You must understand that Microsoft is the industry leader! We want 70% of the European and American markets and 50% of the Asian markets. This is only fair and reasonable. "
Kirilenko leaned back on the sofa, looking indifferent. "You want it? You can go and get it yourself. If you all can get it, why did you invite us over? "
I thought Microsoft is superior. But now, Microsoft is only on the same level as Lenovo Kingsoft. Furthermore, Lenovo Kingsoft still has the popular HOS operating system, and its potential is higher than Microsoft.
Feng Yu had discussed with Kirilenko when Microsoft invited Kirilenko over. They guessed Microsoft is in danger and is not confident of winning.
But Paul Allen was too ridiculous. He wanted more market share in one go. What right did he have?
"Feng, Microsoft and Lenovo Kingsoft are fighting for the PC operating system market. Have you ever thought that other companies might be taking advantage of us?" Bill Gates asked.
"Who can take advantage of us? Fruit Company? Or IBM? "Feng Yu is not worried about this.
Under normal circumstances, when the number one and number two companies are competing, the number three will disappear. It is like in Feng Yu's previous life when Coca-Cola and Pepsi had an advertising war in Hua Xia. After that, Hua Xia's other brands like Unbeatable Cola and Fen Huang Cola disappeared. When Jia Duo Bao and Wang Laoji are competing, He Qi Zheng had disappeared.
Now, Lenovo Kingsoft is competing with Microsoft, and which company can take this opportunity to rise? Fruit Company? They are still far from it.
"Of course, Fruit Company is included. Their new market share this year is almost 5%."
"Let me interrupt. The 5% you are talking about is their PC market share, and their operating system market share is only 4%. This is because their system CD and paid download sales are only a fraction of our Lenovo Kingsoft."
Fruit PC is using Fruit Company's operating system, but the PC market share is based on the sales of the operating system. System sales are not only from PC manufacturers, but also from CD and downloads.
"Alright. Even if it is only 4%, their sales are increasing. Do you know about this?"
"So?" Feng Yu replied nonchalantly. Feng Yu does not care about Fruit Company's increase in sales. Excluding the tablet PC, Lenovo Group's PC market share had reached 18%, and they are ahead of the second place, Hui Pu, by more than 3%. If the tablet PC is included, Lenovo Group's total market share will be more than 20%.
It is still the same reason. Fruit Company is occupying the market share of Hui Pu, Dell, Sony, etc., and their impact on Lenovo Group's sales is minimal.
"Since you don't care about Fruit Company, why are you stopping us from acquiring it?" Bill Gates asked unhappily.
"We are happy. What about it?" Kirilenko interrupted. "You don't have the ability to acquire it, and you are still blaming others?
Feng Yu felt that bringing Kirilenko along was a wise decision. Kirilenko is like a target of ridicule. But Kirilenko's attitude had ruined the atmosphere Bill Gates had created.
"Fine. Let's not talk about this. Microsoft is using our own Windows code, and Lenovo Kingsoft is using Linux code, right? There is a big difference between us. Our code is written by ourselves and is confidential. Your code is open source. "
"Let me tell you a piece of bad news for free. IBM is developing Linux, and they will soon introduce their PC operating system based on Linux. At that time, you will have a strong competitor, and you might not even have 30% of the market share." Kirilenko was shocked.
What does this mean? IBM is going to intervene? They are going to develop the same operating system as us?
But when Kirilenko turned to Feng Yu, he calmed down. From Feng Yu's attitude, Feng Yu does not seem to care about this news. This means that Feng Yu had already considered this situation.
"We all know that a house has to have a foundation, load-bearing pillars or walls, a roof, and windows. But why are there only a few famous designers in the world? Why are there so many people fighting to buy some houses, and not many people are interested in other houses? "
"We all know the meaning of every word. Why are some people great writers, and some people can't even write an essay? Linux is open source, but Lenovo Kingsoft is able to develop the world's most popular XOS operating system, and no one else can! "
"Gates, from the moment you invited me here, you had already admitted defeat!"
