"Lastly, I would like to announce one more thing!" Boss Jia narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"This guy is not done!" Bill Gates's face turned green. How many chapters does Boss Jia want to skip?!
But don't worry. This is the end of the conference. Boss Jia continued calmly. "I am announcing that Daqian's Hongmeng system will have three permanent policies!"
"First, it will be free forever. Hongmeng system will be available to all users for free, and there will be no fees. Users can download the system directly from the internet or buy installation disks. We will only charge a small amount for the installation disk, which is 1 USD!"
"Second, it will be maintained forever. Other than the necessary updates, Hongmeng system will maintain the latest version of the Hongmeng system. It will fix system bugs and add patches to ensure that Hongmeng system will be able to keep up with the times and operate safely!"
"Third, it will be updated permanently. Hongmeng system will continue to provide users with the latest experiences. I promise everyone that Hongmeng system will release at least one minor update every year, and at least one major update every five years. This will ensure that Hongmeng system will always be at the forefront of the times!"
"This lunatic …" Bill Gates rolled his eyes when he heard this. With these three permanent policies, Hongmeng system will be able to topple Microsoft!
This was indeed the case. When Boss Jia announced the three Eternals, everyone was stunned. They had never expected that Da Qian would throw such a huge bomb at the end.
Everyone knows that PC system development costs a lot of money. Microsoft had invested more than 300 million USD in PC system development every year, and the Daqian had spent more than that.
But Microsoft is willing to invest so much money because they can sell the original Windows operating system license every year. They can make billions of USD in profits.
Of course, 90% of Microsoft's operating system is pirated, and it is free. But only 1% of the original users will pay for it. This is still a hefty sum, and no one can resist it!
But why did the Daqian announce that it will be free of charge?
Are they trying to get rid of the stingy users?
Isn't this throwing money into the water?
Everyone thought Daqian entered the operating system market because of the high profits from operating systems. They want to compete with Microsoft.
But this time, the Hongmeng System would be free forever. The Daqian wouldn't be able to earn a single cent. Instead, they would lose a lot of money because of the game's subsidies. That would be a huge loss!
What is the Daqian after?
This was a question that the witchcraft manufacturers could not figure out until the end of the conference. However, this news and the details of the conference were announced by various media outlets around the world at the speed of the wind. Only then did all the computer enthusiasts know that there was actually a completely free computer system in this world.
Immediately, many people began to get restless. Although most of them hesitated due to the limitations of the software, there were also many who decided to get their hands on a genuine Hongmeng System without hesitation. They wanted to have a taste of what it was like to use a genuine system!

"Chairman, our conference this time was a huge success!" After the press conference ended, Wang Xuan and Zhou Hongwei both got to know the identity of Boss Jia and said excitedly, "I have been observing the expressions of the media in the audience. They are obviously very interested in our system and are very supportive of it. They wrote a very detailed script and kept showing surprised expressions. This press conference is indeed a great success!"
"This is the chairman's charm!" Zhou Hongwei praised, "At the same time, I have been paying attention to the reactions of some professionals in the circle. 99% of them watched our conference and expressed their doubts about our Hongmeng System."
"What doubts?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"They are curious about how our Pangu Axe software can be converted to an installation package. Hahahaha!" At this point, Zhou Hongwei couldn't help but laugh. Moreover, his laughter was very rampant and very proud.
However, Wang Xuan was a little worried. He said to Boss Jia, "Chairman, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep this a secret for long. Once Microsoft discovers the secret of Pangu's Axe, they will sue us immediately!"
"What are you afraid of? Let them sue us. The most important thing now is for our system to break through the software's moat. All the risks are worth it!" Zhou Hongwei immediately said.
That's right. Pangu Axe was a scam.
This does not mean that the software is fake. Boss Jia's demonstration at the conference was fake. Pangu Axe cannot be used on the Hongmeng System.
The entire demonstration process was real. However, the Pangu Axe System did not have a software installation package. This software was actually just a simulator!
When the Hongmeng System was being developed, everyone was thinking about how to break through Microsoft's moat. How to install Microsoft's software on the Hongmeng System without infringing copyright.
But this was an unsolvable problem. No one could solve this problem until Boss Jia remembered his story of using an Apple computer in another world.
The Apple computer in the other world was in a similar situation as the Hongmeng System. The Apple computer was installed with the Apple operating system, and it was not compatible with Microsoft's software. That was why the Apple computer could not run Microsoft's software. This was also the reason why the Apple computer could not break through Apple's predicament.
Later, a hacker invented a jailbreak software. Through jailbreak, the Apple computer could be installed with the Microsoft operating system. This was how the Apple computer's sales increased.
It was funny that the Apple computer's sales did not increase because of the Apple operating system. It was because of the hackers and their rival, Microsoft's operating system.
But it was getting harder to jailbreak the Apple computer. Also, the Apple operating system was better than the Windows operating system. Later, someone created a virtual machine for the Windows operating system.
It was to install a virtual machine for the Windows operating system in the Apple operating system and use the virtual machine to run the Windows operating system. The amount of money was displayed on the screen of the Apple computer.
This way, there was no need to jailbreak and change the Apple operating system. It could also use the Microsoft operating system. This was a common method used by many Apple users.
Of course, with the development of the era, virtual machines could not be used anymore. But because of the Apple operating system, many manufacturers would develop both Win and IOS operating systems at the same time. This solved the Apple operating system's predicament.
Then, this virtual machine was used by Boss Jia on his Hongmeng System.
So, the so-called Pangu Axe program was actually a virtual machine for the Win operating system. The installation package that was converted by Pangu Axe was directly installed in the virtual machine of Pangu Axe.
After that, the use of these software was also through the virtual machine of Pangu Axe. So, he would be particularly stuck. After all, the virtual machine itself required a lot of computer resources.
Of course, this Pangu Axe was developed by the engineers of the Hongmeng System. So, compared to the virtual machine in the other world, it was greatly simplified. Many unnecessary things were removed. At the same time, it was deeply compatible with the underlying system of Hongmeng. This saved a lot of resources.
In Feng Yu's previous life, if a virtual machine was used to run the Win operating system, it would most likely crash.
However, the system resources consumed by Pangu Axe were about 80% lower than ordinary virtual machines. This allowed Pangu Axe to run freely on most computers.
So, to put it bluntly, Pangu Axe was a Trojan horse. It contained the heart of Microsoft!
