"Of course, it's true."
Microsoft had just announced Win95 and released Internet Explorer at the same time. This will be the first step for Microsoft to monopolize the PC operating system. But Microsoft only has the English version, and it will be hard for the English version to be introduced in Hua Xia.
Although Microsoft had set up an office in Beijing in 1992 to promote their operating system and office software, the response was not good. Of course, this is also because Hua Xia's PC market is not high.
But it's different now. DOS and other operating systems will be obsolete, and the easy-to-use Win95 will dominate the market. In the future, most of the office software, games, etc. will be running on Windows. Lenovo is going to start a PC price war, and the popularity of PCs in Hua Xia will increase exponentially.
At this time, if Lenovo can install the genuine Win95 Chinese operating system on their PCs, it will be a great help to Microsoft's marketing!
"Then how should we cooperate?" Bill Gates asked anxiously.
Bill Gates knew Feng Yu will not do this for free, and he also knows that Feng Yu owns the shares of Hua Xia's biggest PC manufacturer. Feng Yu will surely be working with this company.
"All Lenovo's PCs will be installed with Microsoft operating system, office software, Internet Explorer, etc. Are you satisfied with this offer?"
Bill Gates is very excited. This offer is too good. If this is successful, Microsoft's profits will increase by a lot, and Microsoft's share prices will shoot up after this news is announced.
With a bigger market, the investors will be more interested in Microsoft shares, and the share prices will shoot up.
"What do I need to do?" Bill Gates asked seriously.
Although this offer is tempting, if Feng Yu's offer is too harsh, Bill Gates will not agree. After all, there are many PC brands in Hua Xia now, and some of them are working with Microsoft.
Feng Yu showed two fingers: "I have two requests. First, I want our software to be the cheapest in the world!"
"Feng, this is not possible. We, Microsoft, will set the same prices worldwide. We cannot give you any cheaper prices. "Bill Gates rejected.
Feng Yu glanced at Bill Gates. Who was he trying to fool? It was impossible for any product to have the same price forever. Different times and different regions would definitely have different prices. This was a business principle!
"Bill, don't you want Hua Xia's market? Also, as I said before, our people will be in charge of the Chinese translation. Of course, we have to lower the price. Otherwise, how are we going to calculate our cost? "
"We can do Chinese too," Bill Gates argued.
Feng Yu shrugged. "Do you understand Chinese? How many people in Microsoft understand Chinese? Chinese is one of the oldest languages in the world. It is broad and profound. We, the people of Hua Xia, don't even dare to say that we understand it. Which of you can? "
"We have a lot of engineers from Hua Xia, and we don't need too sophisticated language, just simple is enough. Microsoft's Win95 is to promote the concept of simplicity. "Bill Gates said proudly.
Who says Microsoft does not have people from Hua Xia? We had recruited a lot of students from Hua Xia to enter Hua Xia's biggest market in the future. I am also very far-sighted!
Feng Yu raised his brows. Seems like Microsoft had also thought of this. But are those students from Hua Xia really good? Maybe in the future, but now, the best Chinese translator is still in Hua Xia!
"Those people you are talking about are the students we recruited these two years, right? Do you really think they are good? Also, they had received American education. Do they really understand the heart of Hua Xia people? Only Hua Xia people understand Hua Xia people. It is just like how only African people understand African Americans. "Feng Yu smiled.
"Why are the students from Hua Xia people not from Hua Xia? Also, our operating system should be easy for the elderly and children to use. It doesn't need to be too complicated. "
Feng Yu looked at Bill Gates's confident face and leaned back. "Bill, maybe you don't know me well. I had made many investments, but no matter what I invest, I am the best in the industry. Do you really think there is no better company than my company in the industry? "
Bill Gates's face changed. He remembered what Hua Xia's employees told him. Hua Xia's government is more powerful than the economy, and those with power can use their power to influence the economy and even suppress other companies.
Does Feng mean that he can suppress Microsoft to the point where it cannot develop?
"Feng, what do you mean by this?"
Feng Yu smiled and said. "You can interpret it however you want. Maybe that is what you think. I still suggest you to cooperate with me. After all, I also own Microsoft shares, and I do not want to see Microsoft losing a big market share like Hua Xia. "
Feng Yu purposely said this to be more effective.
"Since you own Microsoft shares, why don't you let Microsoft make more money?" Bill Gates asked Feng Yu.
"This is my second condition. I want to enter Microsoft's board of directors!"
Every time Warren Buffett invests in the stock market, he will use a large amount of funds to enter the board of directors. He had even acquired many companies.
If Warren Buffett can do it, why can't Feng Yu do it?
Although this company is called Microsoft, and Bill Gates is the World's Richest Man, Feng Yu is still calm. Why can't he enter the board of directors? Bill Gates is Microsoft's third-largest shareholder, and he owns more shares than the rest of the board.
Feng Yu had never thought of becoming Microsoft's Chairman. This is not realistic. With Bill Gates and Paul Allen around, Microsoft will not be under his name.
Although Paul Allen had left Microsoft, he returned to Microsoft's board a few years ago. Paul Allen's relationship with Bill Gates is still very good. At least, Paul Allen is closer to Bill Gates than to Feng Yu.
The rest of Microsoft's directors also support Bill Gates. It's hard for Feng Yu to become the Chairman, but why can't he become a director?
If Feng Yu does not become a director, he will not have any say in Microsoft. Feng Yu cannot accept this. Although this investment will surely make money, it will be better for Feng Yu if he can influence Microsoft's decisions.
Bill Gates stared at Feng Yu for a while. So, this is Feng Yu's ultimate goal? He wants to enter Microsoft's board of directors!
Feng Yu owns 15% of the company's shares, and it's normal for him to enter the board of directors. But all Feng Yu's shares are non-voting shares. If Feng Yu enters the board of directors, then Feng Yu's voting rights will increase by a lot. Although Feng Yu will not be a threat to Bill Gates's position, he cannot be underestimated. Maybe Feng Yu should think of other ways.
Bill Gates thought for a while and looked at Feng Yu. "I cannot make the decision to enter the board of directors alone."
Feng Yu smiled and crossed his arms. "I can wait. But can you wait for the launch of Microsoft's operating system in Hua Xia?"
