"Chairman, it's a call from Microsoft. It's from Mr. Bill Gates!" Boss Jia, who had returned to China, received a message from his secretary. Thinking about it, Bill Gates should be calling him at this time, so he nodded and answered Bill Gates' call.
"Mr. Gates, how can I help you?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"If you withdraw from the operating system industry, Microsoft will withdraw from the MSN industry!" Bill Gates said coldly.
"Haha!" Boss Jia laughed. "MSN should be shutting down soon. Do you think I'm stupid to use a non-existent bargaining chip to make a deal with me?"
"Also, the difference between the importance of systems and instant messaging software is like the difference between heaven and earth. Since when can these two be mentioned in the same breath?"
"You can't take over the operating system market!" Bill Gates said. "I have control over this market. You will only be wasting your time and money if you charge in!"
"Then why did you call me?" Boss Jia couldn't help laughing again.
"Jia Yapeng, I am not in the mood to argue with you. We are both smart people!" Bill Gates replied calmly. "If you feel that MSN's condition is not suitable, then the grudge between Microsoft and Da Qian will be written off. We will mind our own business. You don't have any objections to this condition, right?"
"Oh, that means your company is giving up on entering the mobile phone and gaming market?" Boss Jia asked in surprise.
"How did you know …" Bill Gates blurted out. Microsoft's intention to enter the mobile phone and gaming market was Microsoft's top secret. Other than the President and a few top executives, no one else knew about it. But Jia Yapeng said it out loud.
Bill Gates couldn't help but shudder. Who was the one who betrayed the company?
"I have my ways. After all, Microsoft is a big company. It's normal for there to be a few traitors!" Boss Jia chuckled and said, "However, Mr. Bill Gates, although the mobile phone market isn't completely monopolized by one company like the system market …"
"But because of this, the competition is fierce. Although Microsoft is good at operating systems, mobile phones and games are two different fields. With Microsoft's current capabilities, I guarantee you will suffer losses no matter how much you invest! "
"That's why I don't care about your condition. If you're willing to compromise, then we can compromise. If not, then we can go our separate ways. Isn't that good?" Boss Jia said.
"Pa!" Then, Bill Gates hung up the phone. Boss Jia didn't even have the time to say anything. What a pity!

"I was thinking too much. I actually thought that I could make that guy give up with just my tongue!" Bill Gates rubbed his temples.
He has to admit that Hongmeng's performance is better than expected. Many of its designs are better than Microsoft's operating system. Bill Gates wants to settle this peacefully. That's why he made this phone call.
But halfway through the call, Bill Gates realized that it's impossible for the Daqian to give up. The only way is to kill him.
The reason is simple. A system is not something that can be developed overnight. Even for a simple computer ten years ago, Bill Gates had spent a lot of effort to develop the first version of the Windows operating system.
After that, Microsoft had invested thousands of elites into the Windows operating system every year to update it and add all sorts of new features.
Microsoft had invested more than ten years and billions of USD into the Windows 98 operating system.
Although the Daqian can use Feng Yu as a stepping stone to cross the river, he must do everything he can to avoid Microsoft's patent wall. That's why the development of this operating system is not fast. One year is not enough. It will take at least four to five years to complete this operating system.
But here's the problem. Five years ago, in 1995, Microsoft and the Daqian did not have any conflicts. At that time, the Daqian was a nobody in Microsoft's eyes. Microsoft did not even bother to look at him, let alone have any conflicts.
That's why this Hongmeng operating system is not something the Daqian created to take revenge on Microsoft. It's the result of years of planning. The Daqian had set his eyes on this operating system for at least five years. He had invested a lot of money and effort into developing this operating system. At the same time, he was thinking of ways to snatch the market share from Microsoft.
The Daqian and Jia Yapeng had invested so much into this operating system, and they will not give up just because of a call from Bill Gates.
That's why Bill Gates knows that no words are necessary. If he does not defeat Jia Yapeng and the Daqian, they will not give up on Hongmeng operating system.
After making up his mind, Bill Gates calmed down and started to plan his next move.
"Before I come up with a plan, I have to find that damn traitor!" Bill Gates muttered to himself with a ferocious look on his face.
Jia Yapeng knew about Microsoft's plan to attack the mobile phone and gaming industry. That means there must be a traitor among the higher-ups or board of directors in Microsoft. That person must have tipped off Jia Yapeng.
"From Jia Yapeng's tone and attitude, he must not know that I have collaborated with Nintendo and own the mobile phone camera technology!" Bill Gates mumbled to himself. "Only the shareholders know about this. Since Jia Yapeng does not know about this, that means the traitor is not among the shareholders. The traitor must be among the higher-ups!"
"Seems like there is a need to investigate this in secret!" Bill Gates said.
Bill Gates is not stupid enough to investigate the company's higher-ups directly. At this time, the company's unity is the most important. Bill Gates will not make the company panic.
That's why sending a private investigator to investigate is the best way to solve this problem. In an instant, many of Microsoft's higher-ups are being monitored and investigated.
At the same time, on the other side, Boss Jia actually put down his work temporarily to accompany his wife and children. It was rare for him to spend a leisurely time together.
After all, it has been more than half a year since Jia Changtian went to Beijing to study. Other than going to Beijing to meet him occasionally, Boss Jia did not have time to spend with his son.
Now, his son is back for the Lunar New Year. No matter how busy Boss Jia is, even if he has to destroy Microsoft, he must spend time with his son.
