"Kaifu, Microsoft is going to release their latest operating system. What do you think?"
Chen Yu called Li Kaifu over in his office.
Actually, Li Kaifu also wanted to report to Chen Yu about Microsoft's latest operating system.
As the person in charge of Huanyu Technologies, Huanyu, Li Kaifu had been keeping an eye on Microsoft recently.
"I worked on Microsoft's latest operating system for a period of time. Within Microsoft, it can be said that this is Microsoft's most ambitious business."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"Because I left Microsoft early, I don't know much about the operating system. But based on my time at Microsoft, I think after Microsoft's latest operating system is released, their profits will increase by more than 50%. "
"So much?"
Chen Yu was very calm.
In his previous life, Vista had already told him that he was a failure.
But even so, Chen Yu wanted to hear Li Kaifu's thoughts.
"Is Microsoft planning to increase the sales?"
"I don't think so."
Li Kaifu shook his head. "Boss Chen, we know that Microsoft's sales model is to sell the client once and provide all the services and experiences after the end of the business. But there is a huge drawback to this model. They can only sell it once. After the users buy the Microsoft operating system activation code once, they do not need to pay again. "
"That's true."
"But the number of users in the world is stable. They will not increase it by a lot. Also, Microsoft has already monopolized the entire market. To them, all PC users are their customers. The amount of money they can earn from this is fixed. It is impossible for them to increase it. If the sales model is still the same as before, Microsoft will not be satisfied with this. "
"The best way is to pay once a year."
"Yes, Boss Chen. I think Microsoft has this idea. Of course, this is only my guess. "
Actually, it is normal for Microsoft to have this idea.
This is just like online games.
Online games are selling the activation code for 200 RMB, and the users can play it for life. Or is it more profitable to use point cards to make money?
Obviously.
Selling the activation code for one time is the least profitable.
Only by continuing to top up the business can the profits be maximized.
"So, PayPal. Based on your guess, Microsoft is going to implement payment once a year, and they will introduce more user services and better user experience."
"Yes."
Of course.
If this guess is right, this will not only increase Microsoft's profit.
More importantly, this will be a huge blow to the Huanyu system.
If Microsoft operating system can provide more services to the user experience to, they will to influence to change to the Huanyu system.
Just like now.
Even though Microsoft's latest operating system had not been released, there were a bunch of people who wanted to experience their latest operating system.
A few days later..
To the public to the market to release to the public to the public to the market to..
Microsoft's latest operating system was called Vista.
Moreover, they also exposed the graphical user interface of the latest operating system — Polar Light.
....... this interface......
... to to the to be.....
. "What a dream-like interface."
Looking at the various operating systems of Microsoft, if Vista was the second most beautiful operating system, no one would dare to claim to be the first.
Even if Windows 7 was released in the future, it would still be a far cry from Vista in terms of aesthetics.
It could even be said that Windows 7 imitated Vista's style in terms of graphical interface.
Once the user interface was released, the popularity of Microsoft's latest operating system was pushed to a new height.
"Huanyu system probably won't have much of a chance in the future."
"Yes, Microsoft is too powerful. Their latest operating system has not been released, but their popularity has already surpassed the Huanyu system."
"To be honest, how many people know about the Huanyu system now?"
"Indeed. I don't know how long Huanyu Technologies can maintain the Huanyu system's market share through the gaming ecosystem. "
It was obvious.
Once Vista was released, Huanyu Technologies' Huanyu system would be in the greatest crisis.
Huanyu system had successfully pushed the Huanyu system out through gaming, internet cafes, all-in-one PCs, and other ecosystems.
However, this was not stable.
Who could guarantee that Huanyu Technologies' games would continue to be popular?
Once the users lost interest in Huanyu Technologies' games, then what reason would they have to use the Huanyu system?
This situation also affected Li Kaifu.
These days, Li Kaifu and the entire Huanyu system team spent their days in meetings.
Although there were several meetings, the entire team did not seem to have any ideas about Microsoft's latest operating system.
"Boss Chen, I think we should increase the publicity for the Huanyu system."
In the office, Li Kaifu looked for Chen Yu again.
"Uh, Kaifu, why did you suddenly mention this?"
"The impact of Microsoft's latest operating system is too great. This will put a lot of pressure on our Huanyu system."
"But based on the current situation, even if we increase the publicity, do you think consumers will be interested in our Huanyu system?"
"This …"
After Chen Yu's words, Li Kaifu felt a little awkward.
Everyone used the Huanyu system not because Huanyu was awesome, but because many gamers had no other choice.
Chen Yu understood Li Kaifu's current feelings.
As the person in charge of the operating system, Li Kaifu was under the most pressure.
"Kaifu, don't worry."
"It's just Microsoft's latest operating system. It's nothing."
"I have a different opinion. Kaifu, do you want to hear it?"
Chen Yu was very calm. He was not worried about the release of Vista at all.
"Boss Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Yu poured himself a glass of water. He then took a few leisurely steps around the office with the glass in hand. "Kaifu, Microsoft is indeed very powerful. However, their Windows Vista hasn't been released yet. Why are we so worried?"
"But …"
"But what? Let's wait until their operating system is out first before we worry about it. Also, we don't have much of a market to begin with. If they release their latest operating system, then so be it. We can just start all over again. "
"That's true, but it was not easy for us to open up a market. It would be a pity if we lose it."
"Don't worry. For now, our Huanyu system can't take up too much of Microsoft's market share, but it won't be too difficult to maintain our current market share. After all, our series of games are not to be trifled with."
"Boss Chen, you're right."
After being comforted by Chen Yu, Li Kaifu's mood improved a little.
However, Chen Yu was not done. He continued, "Kaifu, I think we should take a long-term view. Don't always think about how good Microsoft is. Think about the bad side of Microsoft."
"The bad side?"
"Yes."
Chen Yu nodded. "For example, what if Microsoft's Vista is out and no one uses it? Wouldn't that be fun?"
