Both Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun had the same thought about whether Chen Yu was bluffing them.
Perhaps Chen Yu was indeed tricking them into getting into the mobile phone business.
But this also showed that Huanyu Technologies was going to make a name for itself in the mobile phone industry in the future.
Regardless of whether Chen Yu was bluffing them or not, they were willing to follow Chen Yu.
…
"Haupter, is the technology ready yet?"
"No problem on my side."
"Ok, update our MSN."
Microsoft's China division decided to implement the strategy immediately after Microsoft's headquarters made the decision.
The first step was to bind MSN to the latest version of the Windwos system.
Of course, if it was just this, the impact would not be great.
This was because the latest Windows version had the problem of old users not being able to use it.
So, for old users, they decided to use the system update method.
As long as the user updated the system, the latest version of MSN would be downloaded.
But, although Microsoft made the decision, bad news soon spread.
Almost at the same time when Microsoft's China division adopted the binding strategy, major media outlets published news that Microsoft was suspected of monopolizing the market.
The article stated that Microsoft was using its market position to force MSN to monopolize the market. The relevant experts believed that this action was suspected of monopolizing the market.
Once the news came out, it instantly caused a heated discussion among the netizens.
Not only that.
The relevant departments also quickly took action. They talked to Microsoft's China division's representative and gave a strong warning.
The relevant departments even stated that if Microsoft continued to monopolize the market, they would revoke Microsoft's operating rights in China.
This was Microsoft's biggest crisis in China.
If it was any other company, they would not be able to withstand the official statement.
But Microsoft was indeed Microsoft. Even in the face of such strong pressure, Microsoft still maintained that their actions were legal and they did not monopolize the market. As for the updated MSN, it was just a small program in the operating system. Strictly speaking, MSN was also part of the operating system.
"Shameless."
"Microsoft is disgusting."
"Damn it! Everyone, boycott Microsoft!"
Countless netizens were furious at Microsoft's shamelessness.
Although everyone was calling for a boycott, the industry insiders could only smile bitterly.
Could he resist it?
Using Microsoft's operating system to boycott Microsoft seemed like a joke.
Moreover, not to mention the users, even the higher-ups couldn't do anything about it.
Canceling Microsoft's operations in China is also unrealistic.
You have canceled Microsoft's Windows operations in China, do you still want to use Windwos?
Perhaps you will say that you can use pirated versions.
That's right.
Of course, ordinary people could use pirated versions, but what about the government? What about the major listed companies?
Microsoft would not do anything to ordinary people if they used pirated versions.
However, if the government said that all the listed companies were using pirated versions of their products, Microsoft would be able to sue them.
Microsoft knows they can't do anything even if they want to. That's why they are fearless.
"It's over. Huanyu Technologies' YY is done for."
"I didn't expect Microsoft to use such a killer move. How can YY survive with such a binding?"
"I wonder how Huanyu Technologies will deal with this?"
The industry insiders expressed their concern for Huanyu Technologies.
At the same time, the relevant higher-ups also came to Huanyu Technologies to express their concern.
However, when countless people were looking forward to Huanyu Technologies' response, they realized that Huanyu Technologies didn't do anything.
Yes.
Huanyu Technologies didn't post any condemnation of Microsoft on their official website. They also didn't update their YY.
It was as if Huanyu Technologies didn't know about Microsoft's sudden attack at all.
"What's going on? Why didn't Huanyu Technologies say anything? Not even an official reply?"
"All the major media outlets have exposed this so many times, but they act as if this has nothing to do with them."
"Could it be that they've been beaten senseless by Microsoft?"
Many people couldn't understand.
Microsoft also couldn't understand.
After Microsoft implemented the binding strategy, they had been paying attention to Huanyu Technologies' actions.
Even Bill had been paying attention to it.
Although Huanyu Technologies and Microsoft weren't on the same scale, the real-time communication market in China was very important.
"Haupter, is there still no action from Huanyu Technologies?"
"No."
"Not at all?"
"Yes."
Bill was very curious.
Although he didn't have much contact with Chen Yu, Bill had a very deep impression of Chen Yu at the West Lake Sword Conference.
He knew that for a genius like Chen Yu, it was impossible for him to not do anything.
Microsoft was very powerful.
However, the more powerful Microsoft was, the more likely Chen Yu was to fight them head-on, Bill thought.
Yes.
Bill knew the personalities of these geniuses very well.
Apple's Steve Jobs was like this.
In Bill's eyes, Chen Yu and Job were the same kind of people.
Faced with a giant dragon like Microsoft, Chen Yu would definitely be a dragon slayer.
However, Bill liked it when Chen Yu did that.
He was the evil dragon, and it all depended on whether you had the ability to slay him.
However, Chen Yu didn't do anything. Bill couldn't understand it.
"Pay close attention to Huanyu Technologies."
"Yes."
"By the way, how's our MSN operation?"
"It's not doing well for now, but many users have joined. However, due to the previous positioning error, we have banned many accounts. It will affect our MSN in the short term. "
"It's okay, take it slow."
Bill wasn't in a hurry.
As long as Microsoft existed, they would continue to be bound.
Instant messaging was a very sticky social software. Even if they could monopolize it, they couldn't take over Huanyu Technologies' YY market.
…
"We're taking action too."
In the face of Microsoft's monopoly, Chen Yu couldn't possibly do nothing.
The reason why it looked like Huanyu Technologies didn't do anything was because Huanyu Technologies really didn't do anything.
However, those that worked with Huanyu Technologies, such as 360 and Jinshan, were slowly taking action.
360 was the most direct. When Microsoft bound MSN, 360 also bound Huanyu's browser.
As for how to bind, it was very simple. 360 just needed to update it.
Of course, 360 didn't just update it.
If others didn't use it after the update, there would be a problem.
After 360's update, 360 set Huanyu's browser as the default browser.
This meant that as long as you opened a webpage, you would be using Huanyu's browser.
As for Jinshan, they were attacking the office software.
The method was very simple.
Jinshan's office software, WPS, didn't have a high market share, but it was quite famous.
Many people knew that other than Microsoft's office, Jinshan also had WPS.
Since they knew, it was easy.
Originally, they couldn't promote it. One of the reasons was that their technology wasn't as good as Microsoft's.
Of course, this wasn't the most important thing.
The most important thing was that WPS was a paid software.
Since that was the case, it was much easier to promote it.
As long as the paid software became free, the future market would be opened.
