Let's go back to February. The Daqian and Microsoft's lawsuit had just ended, and all the internet cafes' bosses had yet to hold a meeting.
"President, this is a document from the headquarters. They want us to stop authorizing Daqian and related companies' Windows operating systems!" Microsoft's secretary said to the new President of Hua Xia, Gao Qunyao, in his office.
"These fools …" Gao Qunyao massaged his temples. He feels his head is about to explode.
Gao Qunyao is the new President of Hua Xia. The previous President, Du Jiabin, had transferred to Cisco. But Gao Qunyao did not take over from Du Jiabin.
Wu Shihong had taken over from Gao Qunyao, but she had transferred to TCL after 22 months. Gao Qunyao had taken over from Wu Shihong.
Although Gao Qunyao had guessed the United States would make this decision, he did not expect the headquarters to be so stupid.
Of course, this is normal in most people's eyes. The Daqian had released its operating system, and Microsoft still authorizes Daqian to use its operating system. Isn't this stupid?
But Gao Qunyao has his own understanding. Allowing Daqian to continue using Windows is the best outcome. Just the hundreds of millions of USD from Daqian is one of Hua Xia's biggest profits.
He, Gao Qunyao, had just taken over the position of CEO for three months, and his biggest business income was gone. This was too embarrassing.
But this is not the main reason. The most important reason is if the Daqian continues to use Windows, it will be a huge blow to the Hongmeng system.
Even the developers of the Hongmeng system are not using the Hongmeng system. Instead, they are spending a lot of money to purchase the authorizations for Windows. This means the Hongmeng system is not worth mentioning, and Windows is the real deal.
That's why Gao Qunyao felt Microsoft should not stop Daqian from using Windows. Instead, they should try to maintain the authorizations.
It's a pity the United States are not as far-sighted as Gao Qunyao.
I finally understood why the previous two had to jump ship from the world's number one company. Those bastards at the headquarters were really unreasonable!
Gao Qunyao remembered that he had invited the two ex-CEOs to dinner not long ago to learn from them about how to continue running Microsoft in China. In the end, the two ex-CEOs told him that if he wants to continue running Microsoft in China, he should just be Microsoft's lackey!
Both of them had resigned because they could not stand the control of the headquarters. For example, Du Jiabin. He wanted to develop Microsoft's Hua Xia, but many of his ideas and suggestions were rejected by the headquarters. Du Jiabin said that since 1997, he had spent half of his working time arguing with the headquarters.
As for Wu Shihong, she was implicated by the Daqian. The Daqian and Microsoft had been fighting since 1998, and Microsoft's headquarters had been asking Hua Xia to create trouble for the Daqian. They wanted to shake the Daqian's foundation.
But the problem was the Daqian's foundation in Hua Xia is too strong. Wu Shihong had to stop the company for one week after she made a move. Wu Shihong is a woman and does not want to continue fighting with the Daqian. She only wants to run the company well. But the headquarters did not let her off. Wu Shihong could not stand having thousands of mothers-in-law torturing her and jumped ship.
That's why both of them suggested Gao Qunyao to stay as Microsoft's Hua Xia's President forever. If he wants to be the President of Microsoft, he should just follow the orders of the headquarters.
It's a pity that Gao Qunyao has his own goals. He suggested to the headquarters not to stop the authorization, but he got a bad result.
"President, I think this is good. I heard that the Daqian's two important businesses, Xiaomi Computer and Bili Bili Internet Cafe's management system, are relying on our Windows operating system to dominate the market. If they can't provide the original Windows operating system authorization to the customers, the sales of these two businesses will drop. The Daqian will also suffer huge losses! This is what the headquarters wants! "The secretary said.
"I hope so …" At this point, Gao Qunyao could only say this.
So, Gao Qunyao ordered his secretary to write an email to the Daqian, telling them that they will not be authorizing Windows operating system anymore. Within a few minutes, the secretary came back with a weird expression.
"What's the situation?" Gao Qunyao knew something was wrong when he saw his secretary's expression.
"President, the Daqian just sent me an email. They said they will not be renewing the contract!" The secretary said.
"What? They don't want Xiaomi Computer and Bili Bili Internet Cafe's management system anymore?" Gao Qunyao said in shock. Hua Xia's Windows operating system was still the absolute king. All computers needed to be installed with the original Windows operating system by default. If the Daqian's products do not have the original Windows operating system authorization, their sales will drop by a lot.
"The Daqian is smart. They will not do such a stupid thing!" Gao Qunyao rubbed his temples and shook his head helplessly. "Forget it. The Daqian also knows that it will be a big joke if they continue to use the Windows operating system authorization. It will also hurt Hongmeng greatly. That's why they decided to cut their losses. They would rather give up these two markets to help Hongmeng!"
"It seems that the Daqian is determined to make this operating system work!" Gao Qunyao sighed. At the same time, he muttered in his heart. If the Daqian gave up these two markets, then they will have to take over these two markets.
But Microsoft will not take the initiative to manage these two markets. That's why these two markets must be managed by Hua Xia. But it's best if this task can be handed over to a loyal servant of Microsoft!
Then, who will be Microsoft's Hua Xia's loyal servant?
Gao Qunyao immediately asked his men to call Meiliang's current CEO, Yang Yuanqing.
That's why Liu Chuanzhi is still Meiliang's Chairman. But everyone in the industry knows that Liu Chuanzhi is not interested in working anymore and had retired early.
The person who is managing the company is Liu Chuanzhi's successor, Yang Yuanqing. But Yang Yuanqing is only the company's Executive Vice President.
However, it was precisely because of this that Gao Qunyao's call to Yang Yuanqing was just right.
"Mr. Gao, what a rare guest!" Yang Yuanqing said with a smile over the phone. He and Gao Qunyao flattered each other for a while, and Gao Qunyao told Yang Yuanqing that the Daqian had given up on the Windows operating system authorization.
"Mr. Gao, what do you mean by this?" Yang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Nothing. Since the Daqian is gone, she will have to return the market share that she had taken!" Gao Qunyao laughed.
