"Chairman, someone wants to see you!!" Just as Bill Gates is reprimanding his men, a secretary entered the room with a strange expression.
"I will not see anyone!" Bill Gates replied without hesitation.
"But this person is …" The secretary hesitated for a while and decided to mention this person's name. "This person is the United States' Hongmeng's President, Zhou Hongwei."
"Zhou Hongwei? Why is he here?" Bill Gates was stunned. At first, Bill Gates did not think much of Zhou Hongwei.
However, Bill Gates immediately sent someone to investigate Zhou Hongwei after Zhou Hongwei's performance in the trial. He discovered that Hong Meng's series of attacks were most likely carried out under Zhou Hongwei's command. In other words, Zhou Hongwei was the culprit who made him fly into a rage.
What did this fellow come here for?
"He asked who is here to apologize to us!!" The secretary said.
"What? Apologize?!" Bill Gates's glasses almost fell off.
"Yes, he said that he felt that apologizing in the media was not enough to express Hong Meng's determination to turn over a new leaf. It was also not enough to express his apology to us, so he insisted on meeting you and apologizing to you in person!" the secretary said.
"Ask him to get lost! I don't want to see him!!" Bill Gates roared. He wants to skin Zhou Hongwei alive and is not willing to accept his apology.
"But Chairman, there are many reporters in the room, and many people are watching. If we chase him away …"
"This fellow brought so many reporters here to apologize sincerely. He is here to disgust us!!" Bill Gates is furious.
"Chairman, let's meet him! Otherwise, in the future, in the public opinion, we will be very arrogant and narrow-minded, and we will become sinners instead!! "The PR manager quickly suggested.
"I don't want to see him. If I meet him, I will be telling everyone that Microsoft has forgiven Hongmeng, and this matter will be over." Bill Gates scolded.
"Chairman, if we meet him, we will have the upper hand in the discussion. We can also express our magnanimity, and we can slowly regain control of the discussion."
"Enough! Shut up and tell him to scram!!" Bill Gates was so angry that he lost his mind. Zhou Hongwei stayed at the door for 30 minutes. He didn't even enter the door, so he had no choice but to leave.
But before leaving, Zhou Hongwei bowed deeply to Microsoft.
In the words of Zhou Hongwei when he was interviewed by the media, he bowed to express his apology.
However, some people said that Zhou Hongwei's bow was like bowing to a tombstone at a funeral!

After February ended, the conflict between Microsoft and Hongmeng had ended. Very soon, no news about these two companies appeared in the media.
The Daqian had already achieved its goal of reversing public opinion. Naturally, it would not waste any more money.
On the other hand, Microsoft received negative reviews for rejecting Hong Meng's sincere apology.
As for Bill Gates, he scolded the media in his office for three days and told them that Microsoft will not give him a single cent in marketing fees. He wants all the media to die!
The Daqian praised Feng Yu and said all traditional media should die. After that, a company called Twitter was set up under the Daqian's leadership.
Of course, Microsoft's goal was achieved. Hongmeng cut off Pangu's Axe completely. Nothing related to Pangu's Axe can be found on their official website. They also did not sell any products related to Pangu's Axe. Their official announcement destroyed the source code of Pangu's Axe. From then on, Pangu's Axe no longer exists in the world.
But the truth?
Pangu Axe is not only alive, but it is also living a good life.
In 2000, piracy accounted for more than 90% of the software market. No software can avoid piracy, and it is impossible to prevent piracy from spreading on the internet.
Although the original Pangu Axe software had been banned, Pangu Axe still existed. Even if it was only for half a month, it was enough time for numerous replicas to appear on the internet.
Also, Hongmeng had never thought of encrypting Pangu Axe.
Therefore, the Pangu's Axe software still existed on various pirated websites, and the number of downloads was not small. A large number of users could download the Pangu's Axe software from these websites, and then pull it onto the Hongmeng System to use. The effect was still the same.
Even though Hongmeng had banned Pangu Axe, it is still the same as using it normally. The only difference is that users need to go to pirated websites to download the software!
This made Microsoft even more furious. In order to stop the piracy of Pangu's Axe software in the market, Microsoft contacted all the government departments in the United States that were related to piracy. They even contacted the FBI. They wanted to completely ban the piracy of Pangu's Axe software from the Internet and punish the users who used Pangu's Axe.
But after these departments investigated the situation, they were helpless. They are unable to ban Pangu Axe. The reason is simple. It is because Microsoft should not be the one applying for the ban.
Everyone knows that Pangu Axe software is developed by Hongmeng, and the copyright is in Hongmeng's hands. Unless Hongmeng orders them to investigate and ban Pangu Axe, they have no right to do anything.
Microsoft was dumbfounded by this result. They were speechless.
It is impossible to expect Hongmeng to ban pirated versions of Pangu Axe. Microsoft is even sure that Hongmeng is the one behind Pangu Axe's rapid spread.
This damn guy apologized to Microsoft on the surface and banned Pangu Axe. But in reality, he will not let go of this important tool to the Hongmeng system. They must have done something behind the scenes.
What made Microsoft even angrier was that on a certain day in March, a group called "Pangu Splits the Heavens" was formed in a famous technical nerd forum.
This group's introduction on their forum stated that they are loyal supporters of the Hongmeng system. At the same time, they like Pangu Axe very much.
But Hongmeng had announced that they will never develop Pangu Axe again, and they will not update Pangu Mansion. To ensure that their beloved Pangu Axe software can operate normally, they formed this group. Then, they volunteered to make all kinds of amendments and supplements to the software. Finally, they will provide the latest update for all the players who support and love the Hongmeng system.
Good heavens, this software that was banned by the developer and was supposed to be dead could actually be updated. Moreover, the update speed wasn't slow either. On average, there would be a new small version every half a month. This kind of spirit of running water was really too touching!!
Yes, this is definitely spontaneous. It has nothing to do with Hongmeng company.
