"Deal?"
Chen Yu was shocked when he heard the news from Microsoft.
It looked like a deal, but it also meant that Microsoft was showing weakness.
They did not want to compete with him on the office software, even if they had to give up their instant messaging business in China.
This was understandable.
At the end of the day, Microsoft is still a software company. It is not a pure internet company.
Although he was optimistic about the internet, it was one thing to be optimistic about it, and it was another thing to be able to do it well. Looking at the global market, Microsoft did not gain any advantages in the internet industry in China. They also did not have any significant achievements in the global market. Instead of competing with so many companies on the internet, it was better to focus on their software.
Of course, this could also be a strategy by the other party.
They could give up China's MSN temporarily, but they could also launch other instant messaging software.
For example, Skype, another instant messaging software that Microsoft acquired in Feng Yu's previous life.
However, it did not matter if Microsoft was showing weakness, or if it was a strategy.
Chen Yu would not agree to this deal.
"Zhu Zhu, send a fax to Microsoft."
Chen Yu said to his assistant, Xia Zhu, "Tell them that we're sorry, you can't do instant messaging, but we still want to do the office software business."
"Boss Chen, do you want to be more tactful?"
Xia Zhu said, "They are Microsoft after all."
"No need, just do as I said and send it to them."
There was no such thing as being tactful in the business world.
Although Microsoft's Bill Gates looked kind, this did not stop him from being ruthless in the business world.
Bill had screwed over Apple's Steve Jobs in the past.
Of course, Chen Yu did not say this because he thought that Bill was a good person.
Since they were serious, there was no need to be so polite.
Moreover, the business that Chen Yu wanted to do in the future wasn't as simple as the office software business.
For example, operating system business.
Chen Yu's operating system business was divided into two parts.
One was the PC operating system business.
The other was the mobile internet and smartphone operating system business.
There was still time for the mobile internet operating system business, so there was no rush.
The PC operating system business was an urgent matter.
Of course, the reason why Chen Yu wanted to make an operating system was not because of the wishes of his countrymen.
The wishes of the people were important, but the safety of the people's internet was even more important.
The operating system was too big. Almost 99% of the computers in the country used the same operating system. There was no security guarantee, not to mention that it was a foreign operating system. You might think that Microsoft is a global company, and Feng Yu will not leak any confidential information.
Young man, you're too naive.
He thought about the Prism Gate incident in America that had been exposed in his previous life.
Microsoft is not the only company involved in this.
Other than Microsoft, there were also Yahoo, Google, Apple, Facebook, and nine other international giants in the United States.
And this was just a software and network company.
As for the hardware …
Qualcomm, Intel, Cisco … Are they involved?
The answer could be found slowly.
But regardless of whether they were involved or not, introducing a localized operating system was too important to protect the cybersecurity of his countrymen.
Well, even if it was not for cybersecurity, it was purely for commercial reasons.
The operating system business was also a considerable amount of business.
For someone as ambitious as Chen Yu, it was impossible for him not to want to enter this business.
Of course, in China, Chen Yu was not the only one who wanted to make an operating system for his countrymen.
Other than Chen Yu, the higher-ups also wanted to make a localized operating system.
On the same day, Huanyu Technologies welcomed an old acquaintance.
This old acquaintance was Liu Zheng.
He was also Section Chief Liu of the Network Information Authority.
"Section Chief Liu, have some tea."
Chen Yu invited Liu Zheng to his office.
As Chen Yu had fought with Microsoft for a few rounds, he had also come across Liu Zheng a few times.
In addition, Liu Zheng had also come to Huanyu Technologies for investigation regarding Baidu's report that Huanyu Technologies was suspected of monopolization.
"Boss Chen, aren't you going to ask if the results are out?"
Liu Zheng looked at the relaxed Chen Yu and asked.
"What results?"
"You didn't forget, right?"
Liu Zheng smiled helplessly.
"Oh, Section Chief Liu, are you talking about the incident last time? Baidu made up a story out of nothing. Also, they claimed that they were monopolizing, yet they accused us of monopolizing. We're already preparing to sue them. Also, Section Chief Liu, you've come to our company several times to investigate. I'm sure you know what the problem is. "
"Okay, okay, Boss Chen, don't get agitated, I'm just saying."
Liu Zheng did not come to Chen Yu today to talk about 360's monopoly.
He reported this to the higher-ups.
The higher-ups did not have any specific suggestions.
Although it was not to the extent of just throwing it aside, it would probably be over after a while.
Everyone was on the same side, was there a need to fight among themselves?
They should be united against the outside world.
"Section Chief Liu, I was scared by you just now."
Chen Yu said jokingly, "You're an authority, we have to treat you like Buddha."
"Don't …"
Section Chief Liu waved his hand. "What authority? Everything is to serve the people. For example, Huanyu Technologies, I'm here to serve you.
"Section Chief Liu, what guidance do you have for me?"
"I said service, what guidance?"
Liu Zheng did not put on airs, and in front of a company like Huanyu Technologies, he did not dare to put on airs. "You've been fighting fiercely with Microsoft recently?"
"We have no choice, Microsoft wants to touch our instant messaging service, so we have to fight with them."
"Impressive."
Liu Zheng gave Chen Yu a thumbs up. "I've used WPS, and it's great. I believe that in a few years, WPS will take over more of the market. When that time comes, we won't only have Office. "
"I think so too."
Chen Yu nodded. "But Microsoft said that they want to make a deal with us?"
"What deal?"
"Microsoft said that MSN will withdraw from the China market, and they want us to stop doing office software business."
"Microsoft really contacted you like this?"
Liu Zheng was shocked.
"Yes, but I replied to them that we don't want to do this deal."
Chen Yu told Liu Zheng about the deal.
Liu Zheng hesitated for a while and said, "Chen Yu, are you worried about Microsoft?"
"Microsoft's office software business is nothing, but Microsoft has Windows. It's impossible to say that I'm not worried."
Chen Yu said honestly.
Microsoft has Windows, and this means that if they fall out with Microsoft, Microsoft can even ban all of Huanyu Technologies's businesses, including 360.
At present, Huanyu Technology's instant messaging, online gaming, and other businesses were all built on the basis of Windwos.
Of course, Chen Yu knows that this is not possible.
But who knows?
Chen Yu must be wary of Huawei's treatment in his previous life.
Even if they do not ban Huanyu Technologies, Microsoft will still create trouble for them from time to time.
"Yes, Microsoft has their Windows."
Liu Zheng sighed emotionally as he spoke.
Then, Liu Zheng looked at Chen Yu seriously and said, "Boss Chen, have you ever thought of creating our own operating system?"
