"This fellow had never said he is from Hua Xia. Why is he saying we are from Hua Xia now?" Yang Yuanqing looked at Gao Qunyao weirdly.
"Actually, it is because Hongmeng is free!" Yang Yuanqing gritted his teeth and said. "Director Gao, is your Windows operating system free? Are you providing it to all users for free? "
"… …" Gao Qunyao looked at Yang Yuanqing as if he is an idiot.
Expecting Microsoft to provide it for free? Isn't he an idiot?
Although Microsoft had provided it for free more than a decade later, its share prices and market value had increased.
But people in this era still do not realize this fact. Instead of expecting Microsoft to provide it for free, the United States is not as conscientious as Wall Street.
"If you can't do it for free, can you terminate the contract between us and give me my money back?" Yang Yuanqing asked urgently.
Based on the current situation, the internet café market has become Hongmeng's territory. Mei Liang can only choose to withdraw from the internet café market.
That was why Yang Yuanqing was so thick-skinned as to ask Gao Qunyao if he could cancel the additional contract they had previously signed. In other words, Mei Liang did not want any exclusive rights, and the additional tens of millions of USD would be returned to Mei Liang!
"… …" Gao Qunyao looked at Yang Yuanqing as if he is an idiot.
"Director Gao, you must come up with a solution. We can't let our tens of millions go to waste!" Yang Yuanqing said angrily.
"I don't have a solution … …" Gao Qunyao shrugged. "But if you insist on a refund, I can tell the headquarters what you think. If they are willing to refund, I will return it to you immediately!"
"You … … Aren't you afraid that Mei Liang will not renew the Windows operating system license with you next year?" Yang Yuanqing used his trump card!
"Up to you. But do you think Mei Liang will not enter the office market and compete with you if they lose the advantage of Windows operating system?" Gao Qunyao asked.
"…" Yang Yuanqing was at a loss for words. Only then did he realize that the one who couldn't live without the Windows system was actually Mei Liang!
Yang Yuanqing and Gao Qunyao parted on bad terms. From then on, the two of them rarely contacted each other. Mei Liang could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. He resigned himself to his fate and completely gave up on the internet cafe market.
Hong Meng easily swallowed the entire internet cafe market under the anti-piracy whirlwind.
But this didn't mean that the anti-piracy whirlwind was over. On the contrary, this whirlwind was getting more and more intense.
After all, the internet cafe market was actually a market where piracy was relatively rare. The real market for pirated systems was actually the personal computer market, as well as the market for small, medium and micro enterprises.
After all, before there was a national anti-piracy law, Microsoft's legal department could only monitor and investigate the computer systems of large companies. They could not interfere with individual users and small, medium, and micro enterprises. These people were the pirates.
Soon, everyone saw a new piece of news in the newspaper.
For example, there was a company that was found to have installed pirated Windows systems in their computers. They were ordered to suspend operations and pay a fine of 900 yuan per computer.
That's right, this was only the fine. These companies still had to buy the original Windows operating system, which cost another 900 yuan.
Within a week, more than a dozen similar news broke out. Many small, medium, and micro enterprises were terrified. They were afraid that they would be the ones to be caught.
The scariest thing was that even PC users were found out. Many users were found to be using pirated Windows systems, and their computers were locked. After that, they were invited to have tea.
According to this rumor, Microsoft had developed a program that can lock down pirated systems through the internet. As long as these pirated systems are connected to the internet, this program will detect them. At the same time, the program will lock down the system and report the user's location to the police. After that, the user will be arrested.
Not only will they have to pay compensation, but they will also be locked up for a few days.
These news reports were very vivid. Immediately, many people were very moved and scared.
Most importantly, anyone who knows about computers knows that Microsoft has the ability to create such anti-piracy software. It's just a matter of whether Microsoft is willing to use such disgusting methods.
That's why many users immediately unplug their internet cable when they return home to avoid being caught by Microsoft.
In an instant, not only small, medium, and micro enterprises, but PC users were also terrified.
After that, these people saw an advertisement for the Hongmeng operating system on TV. The advertisement was not long. It was only 15 seconds, and there was only one sentence in the advertisement. "The computer system is free, the Hongmeng operating system is free forever. Tens of thousands of original software, all free forever!!"
Well, this advertisement basically repeated the slogan a few times until it was as familiar as "No gifts this year, only Brain Platinum!"
Naturally, there was no need to say what the result was.

"Hua Xia is so awesome this time. Their results are very significant!!!" On the morning of April 30th, 2000, Bill Gates was smiling as he read the newspaper. The headline of this newspaper was: "Hua Xia's anti-piracy campaign has achieved significant results. Millions of computers have given up using pirated Windows systems."
According to this news report, after more than a month of anti-piracy campaign, Hua Xia's piracy situation had improved significantly.
Almost half of the users, about 5 million, had given up on pirated Windows systems and switched to the original version.
This newspaper even interviewed a person who specializes in pirated Windows CD. He said that there was no market for pirated Windows software and could not be sold.
That's why they will not continue to make pirated Windows CD. They are changing careers!
Bill Gates was overjoyed when he read this news. 5 million users of Hua Xia had given up on pirated Windows systems. That means there were 5 million more users.
If each user paid 99 USD, that would be 500 million USD. He did not expect his subordinates to be so capable, especially the CEO of Hua Xia. He was much better than the previous two!
"Hurry up and bring me Hua Xia's Microsoft report. I think Microsoft's Hua Xia performance this year will be amazing!" Bill Gates said with a smile when he reached the office.
After waiting for half a day, Bill Gates did not receive the report he wanted. Instead, his secretary passed him a resignation letter.
If Bill Gates did not read wrongly, Microsoft's Hua Xia's CEO, Gao Qunyao, had submitted his resignation letter to the headquarters a week ago. Hua Xia's department manager had approved his resignation letter. He had left for a week!
