The remaining 22% of the market is the government's market and the large corporations' market. But Tony is not optimistic about this. "Chairman, I'm afraid it will be difficult because Hua Xia and the government are on the same side as the Daqian. They only need to issue an executive order, and the entire government market will be switched to Hongmeng's system within a day. There is no doubt about it!"
"This is too evil! Oh my God! "Bill Gates clutched his chest.
"But based on my investigation, Hua Xia is still competing for the Olympics and the WTO. So, they will not issue such a blatant order to obstruct the free market and affect the enthusiasm of foreign investors!" Tony quickly added.
"But this is only for a short period of time. It might be like what you said in one or two years. But as time passes, they can use subtle means to change the entire market!" Bill Gates bit his lips and said.
"Yes! There's nothing we can do about it! "Tony could only nod helplessly, then said hesitantly," Unless … "
"Unless what?"
"Unless we retaliate!" Tony said.
"How do we retaliate?" Bill Gates heard the word 'grateful', and his eyes turned red. He must take revenge!
"Chairman, have you forgotten? Our biggest advantage has always been our software moat!" Tony said softly. "We can issue an order to all the software developers under us. They are not allowed to develop any software for Hongmeng, and they are not allowed to license any legitimate software for the Hongmeng system. This is the only way we can retaliate and stop Hongmeng from expanding!"
"Between Microsoft and Hongmeng, they can only choose one. If they dare to develop or license legitimate software for the Hongmeng system, their software will be banned from the Windows operating system, and their software will be banned from the Windows operating system forever! "
"Do we have to go that far?" Bill Gates hesitated.
In fact, this move wasn't very innovative, nor was it very clever. This was because Bill Gates' think tank had long included this countermeasure in their suggestions.
But this is an extreme response. Once Microsoft issues such an order, they will be using their monopoly status to attack their opponents. At the same time, it will affect their reputation. This is a shameless move to harm their opponents.
They are sending the evidence of Microsoft's monopoly to the judge.
"We can reduce the scope and only implement this rule in the China region!" Tony said. "No one will care if Hua Xia monopolizes the market. This is meaningless to the people of the United States."
"But what if Hua Xia accuses us of monopolizing the market?" Bill Gates is still hesitant.
"Hua Xia's laws cannot punish United States companies!" Tony quickly said. "Actually, we don't have to do anything in the open. We only need to inform these software companies secretly. To protect the global market, they will not go against us in Hua Xia. As long as Hua Xia does not have any evidence, we will not be able to do anything."
"But they still have the Pangu Axe …"
"Chairman, have you forgotten that we have a loophole in our system? If Hua Xia's large companies or government agencies dare to use the Pangu Axe, we can sue them until they go bankrupt!" Tony said with a smile. Bill Gates is finally convinced and agrees to Tony's plan.

"Amazing. You can do whatever you want. In the blink of an eye, you have taken over half of the Windows operating system market. Even I do not have this ability!" In the capital of Huaxia, Boss Jia and Xu Guangle met again in the familiar KFC. Xu Guangle couldn't help but sigh at Boss Jia's recent actions.
"This is the result of everyone's support. It has nothing to do with me!" Boss Jia said modestly.
"Shut up. Other than you, who else can come up with the excuse of anti-piracy to get rid of their opponents? Now, the entire Microsoft is mad at you!" Xu Guangle said with a grin.
"Well, they should be very angry!" Boss Jia smiled faintly with a very complacent expression.
"Then, you have to make a move on the ZF office and large companies!" Xu Guangle smoked a cigarette and took a deep breath. Then, he blew out a beautiful smoke ring and said, "But there is one thing I have to tell you. Don't expect us to give you any orders. It is impossible!"
"I understand. Everything will be decided by the market!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "Actually, it is not difficult to do this. Now, 78% of the computers in the country are using the Hongmeng operating system. Then, we can use this huge market to force the remaining 22% to change with us."
"So, next, we only need to persuade those professional office software companies to make a Hongmeng version of all their software. We do not need to reinstall the system on the existing computers. All we need to do is to install the Hongmeng operating system on all the new computers in the future. Then, everything will be fine! "
"Then, we only need to wait for one or two years, and we will take over the entire country!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"You are really something. You have calculated everything!" Xu Guangle exclaimed.
"You are flattering me. I just have a better grasp of the situation!" Boss Jia sighed.
Indeed, Boss Jia was able to defeat the Windows operating system in Hua Xia at lightning speed mainly because of the year 2000.
At this time, Hua Xia was in the era of fully computerized, information-based office work.
Although there were already many units in the country that used computers for office work, overall, the number was still very small. Only about 3% of the departments were able to achieve this.
After 2000, the wave of automation swept across the country. In the end, almost 100% of Hua Xia's departments were computerized, and computers became the standard equipment for all civil servants.
In other words, computers were still a minority in Hua Xia. At this time, the cost and difficulty of getting Hua Xia to change the system was still relatively low.
Otherwise, in a few years, Hua Xia's computer holdings would exceed 100 million. Most of the departments and units would be using the Windows operating system. Then, no matter how powerful Boss Jia was, it would be difficult for him to defeat Windows.
Now, Boss Jia did not need to attack aggressively. He only needed to take advantage of the situation and catch up with the wave of computerized office work. All the new computers in the future would be automatically installed with the Hongmeng operating system. Then, the current 22% would be reduced to about 1.2% in a few years. Naturally, it would not affect the overall situation.
At that time, they might change it themselves.
Boss Jia's plan was very reliable. But Microsoft will not give up easily. Soon, Boss Jia's phone rang. It was a call from Hongmeng.
"Really? They rejected our suggestion! "The corners of Boss Jia's mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that the battle was not over yet.
