"Damn. I forgot that Microsoft is a monopoly company. How can they claim to be anti-monopoly?" Yang Yuanqing read the reports about the United States Ambassador and realized something.
Microsoft had relied on monopolies to become a global giant, and they had done all they could to avoid being the target of anti-trust investigations. Think about it. How can Microsoft get involved in any anti-trust investigations?
Isn't this a slap to their own face?
"No. I must think of other solutions!" Yang Yuanqing realized that Microsoft and Meiliang had been tightly bound to each other. He must continue to help Microsoft and think of a way to get back the internet café market.
But two heads are better than one. Yang Yuanqing does not know much about the system market. After all, the system market is selling PC, and there are differences between them.
That's why Yang Yuanqing approached Gao Qunyao again, hoping they can come up with a solution.
But unexpectedly, after chatting with Yang Yuanqing for a while and learning about Yang Yuanqing's views on antitrust, Gao Qunyao actually shook his head vigorously and rejected Yang Yuanqing's opinion.
He said Microsoft is not afraid of anti-monopoly investigations, and that's why they rejected Yang Yuanqing's suggestion to sue Daqian.
"Microsoft will never be afraid of discussing anti-monopoly investigations in Hua Xia!" Gao Qunyao laughed.
"Really?" Yang Yuanqing looked at Gao Qunyao in surprise. "No. I heard that Microsoft headquarters had to deal with the United States Department of Commerce's anti-monopoly investigations!"
"That's the United States!" Gao Qunyao pointed to the sky and then pointed to the ground. "This is Hua Xia, and Microsoft is a United States company. Who dares to investigate us?"
"Domineering!" Yang Yuanqing was speechless by Gao Qunyao's words.
Microsoft is the same in history. Although Microsoft was tortured by the United States' anti-monopoly investigations, Bill Gates had repeatedly talked about the dangers of monopolies and used this as an excuse to file anti-monopoly lawsuits against companies in many countries. After that, he made use of the law to destroy these companies.
Microsoft had once planned to sue Tencent for its monopoly in the instant messaging software market and requested the Hua Xia government to conduct an anti-monopoly investigation.
But at that time, MSN was beyond redemption. Microsoft pondered for a while and felt that even if they got rid of Tencent, they could not promise Hua Xia's other internet companies. In addition, MSN was doomed, so they gave up this time-consuming idea.
That's why Microsoft will not be afraid of anti-trust investigations in other countries. They are a United States company!
On the other hand, Microsoft, the monopoly leader, will use anti-monopoly to attack their competitors. Seeing a small trust being defeated by a large trust in the name of a trust is a magical thing!
But these are too far-fetched. Back to Yang Yuanqing. Since Gao Qunyao said Microsoft did not sue Yang Yuanqing for monopolization, then why did Microsoft change Yang Yuanqing's plan?
"Because the headquarters doesn't like us teaching him how to do things!" Gao Qunyao said with a bitter smile.
After that, Yang Yuanqing heard an interesting story from Gao Qunyao.
Yang Yuanqing had submitted his proposal through Gao Qunyao. One week later, the person in charge of the Asian market saw the proposal, and he was furious.
Gao Qunyao's friend in Microsoft's headquarters had told him that the person in charge of the headquarters was furious. After reading the report, he scolded. "This group of Hua Xia people dare to teach me how to do things?!"
After that, the person in charge changed his complaint from monopolization to piracy.
"Why?" Yang Yuanqing's jaw dropped and made a few meaningless sounds. He then asked. "Isn't this a normal report from a subordinate? How did it become teaching him how to do things? "
"It's all because of you …" Gao Qunyao glanced at Yang Yuanqing and said helplessly.
"Because of me?" Yang Yuanqing was stunned. What has this got to do with him?!
"Yes. I was in a hurry to submit the report, so I modified and polished your proposal before submitting it. In the end, I didn't pay attention to some parts, and my tone and words were not humble enough!" Gao Qunyao sighed. "The person in charge of the Asian market is a guy who has a strong prejudice against Asians. I heard that when he was studying in school, the top three places in school were taken by Asians. He is the chosen one of the Saxons, but he can only get fourth place. That's why he hates Asians, especially us Hua Xia people!"
"I'm fine. I know him better, so when I communicate with him daily, I use some very humble words to satisfy his vanity. Things are easy to handle."
"But you don't know. My tone was a little harsh, especially when I didn't use honorifics for two words. At the same time, the whole article sounded like it was giving orders. This made him very unhappy, and that's why this happened!" Gao Qunyao said.
"Damn … Why are you willing to work in such a company?" Yang Yuanqing was stunned for a while and asked.
"This is Microsoft, and many people are envious of my position. What's there to complain about?!" Gao Qunyao waved his hand. Yang Yuanqing doesn't know if he is joking or not.
"Actually, it's not just about using honorifics. Another reason is Microsoft's reputation!"
"Reputation?" Yang Yuanqing was stunned. How did Microsoft's reputation get dragged into this?!
"That's right. The almighty Microsoft is unbeatable in terms of operating system software, let alone being defeated by an opponent who monopolizes the market. The headquarters cannot accept that Hongmeng's operating system had defeated Windows operating system in one market and is going to take over the entire market!"
"This is a disgrace to Microsoft. At the same time, it is telling others that Hongmeng has the ability to challenge Microsoft's dominance. This is also a signal that Microsoft must not send out."
"Because once this signal is sent out, everyone will know that Microsoft is not an unbeatable company!" Gao Qunyao said.
"But … Microsoft might not want others to know about this, but it does not mean it did not happen. Hongmeng is now taking over the internet cafes market. If Microsoft does not take any action, Windows operating system might be kicked out of the internet cafes market. They cannot ignore this!" Yang Yuanqing said anxiously.
"There are no internet cafes in the United States!" Gao Qunyao suddenly said.
"What?"
"I said there are no internet cafes in the United States. At least, it is not like Hua Xia, where internet cafes are so popular. In the United States, internet cafes are a transparent industry!" Gao Qunyao said.
"Then what does this mean? Hua Xia's internet cafes are not transparent! "Yang Yuanqing retorted.
"This means those old men at the headquarters do not care about the internet cafes market. It's a transparent market, and it doesn't matter if they lose it. As long as no one knows about it, Microsoft will not be disgraced!" Gao Qunyao's reasoning was logical and impeccable!
