"I see. Then the Golden Foundation has no objections. We will fully support Mr. Chairman's game plan!" The Golden Foundation's representative changed his attitude after hearing the confidential information from Bill Gates. This made Bill Gates in a good mood.
But the Golden Foundation's representative did not continue to ask. "What about the mobile phone industry? Did Microsoft, Nokia, and Motorola form a partnership? "
"Cough, cough … No …" Bill Gates coughed. Nokia and Motorola are in the limelight now. Although Daqian 5G has been suppressing them recently, they are still the number one and number two companies. They will not be interested in setting up a joint venture with Microsoft.
"Then what do we have?" The representative asked again.
Although this is also Microsoft's confidential information, Bill Gates had already revealed it. There is nothing to hide. So, Bill Gates said. "We have mastered the mobile phone camera technology!"
"What?!" The Golden Foundation's representative was shocked.
"That's right!" Bill Gates is in a good mood when he saw the Golden Foundation's representative was shocked. "That's right. We have matured the micro camera technology. Although it will take some time to apply this technology to mobile phones, it will take less than three months."
"So, if we use these three months to develop mobile phone technology at the same time, then our camera phone can be launched worldwide as soon as June 2000!"
"I think any mobile phone with the Microsoft brand will sell well!" Bill Gates said proudly.
Although this might sound narcissistic, part of it is true. Microsoft is the world's number one high-tech company now. At least, this is what people know. After all, Bill Gates had been afraid of being the world's richest man since 1995.
Isn't the world's richest man's company the best company in the world?
Once a phone is branded with Microsoft's logo, it will sell like hotcakes.
For example, Microsoft sold more than 10 million mobile phones in the first month of sales. All the mobile phone companies were shocked and cried wolf.
Furthermore, at that time, when intelligent systems had yet to dominate the world, and even Symbian was still surviving as a remnant of the Microsoft's Win operating system, they had beaten their opponents until they panicked and released three patches to improve their products within a month. Android, which had its scalp tingled when it came to Microsoft's Win operating system.
Of course, although everything turned out to be a joke in the end, Microsoft was still very successful when it was launched. They had captured 12% of the mobile phone market share.
"Is this camera technology reliable?" The foundation's representative could not help but ask.
"Of course it's reliable. It has already passed the test!" Bill Gates said proudly.
This camera is considered a gift from MSN to Microsoft.
After Hulk accepted MSN, according to his blueprint, although MSN would abandon most of its functions, the core chat function would be strengthened.
Especially the video chat function. Hulk felt video chat will become the most important function of instant messaging software in the future, and a high-quality camera will determine the effectiveness of video chat.
That's why after Hulk took over MSN, he invested in the development of a PC camera. He even got his men to acquire a small camera company with experience in designing miniature cameras. The company developed a digital camera that is suitable for PC use.
This camera is only half the size of a mobile phone and can be placed directly on the PC screen. This way, gamers can video chat with each other through the camera when they are using the PC.
Hulk had wanted to sell this camera as one of Microsoft's core products. That's why he wanted to design this camera with high performance, good looks, and high miniaturization. How can such a small camera be sold for more than 100 USD?
Although MSN was discontinued after the development of this camera, because of Daqian 5's popularity, Bill Gates smelled the potential of this camera. He immediately ordered his men to modify this camera into a mobile phone camera.
Because it was remodeled from a camera, not only could this camera take pictures, but it could also directly record videos. This was a function that even the Da Qian No. 5 didn't have. Once this mobile phone was released, Bill Gates was confident that he could bite off a piece of meat from the Da Qian No. 5. It was even possible to directly swallow the entire Da Qian No. 5's market.
"Mr. Chairman, you are indeed a business genius. You had realized the value of mobile phone cameras so early and started to develop them. I am impressed!" The representative of the Golden Foundation sighed with emotion, which made Bill Gates couldn't help but reveal a complacent smile.
Of course, this is all because of Bill Gates's wise guidance. Although this is Hulk's idea, Hulk can only do bad things. The rest of the good things are all thanks to Bill Gates. After all, Hulk was personally approved by Bill Gates!
This is the value of a leader!
"Also, I've contacted Ericsson again. Ericsson is planning to sell their entire mobile phone business. If we can buy Ericsson's mobile phone business, with Ericsson's advanced mobile phone technology, our camera phone will definitely hit the market in June next year!" Bill Gates made a solemn vow.
"Sir, what do you think?" After Bill Gates finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at the representative of the foundation.
"Mr. Chairman, you're a strategist that can determine victory from a thousand miles away. You've already taken every conceivable possibility into account. I have nothing to say but admiration!" The Golden Foundation's representative said with admiration. "I am representing the Golden Foundation to express our support for Microsoft's gaming and mobile phone business!"
"Good!" Bill Gates smiled happily. When the other shareholders saw that even the America First Foundation expressed their support, they immediately put down all their worries and expressed their full support for Bill Gates' plan. The entire board meeting ended smoothly under Bill Gates' leadership. It was a great success.
Bill Gates is also very fast. On the last day of 1999, the mobile phone and gaming project teams were set up. At the same time, Microsoft deployed a large number of elite staff to fill these two teams. They are preparing to create a new legend in the new century.
But before this legend can start, it was defeated by a bug on the first day of the New Year.
