"Bill, what's Dell and HP's reaction?"
"I've been good friends with them for many years. Naturally, they'll work closely with us. But … "
Although he had a good relationship with Dell and HP, Bill never believed in friendship when it came to business. He had a good relationship with Apple's Steve Jobs, but because of competition, the two became enemies. It wasn't about character. Every major company had a lot of capital behind it, and there were many things that could affect you.
When the profits reached a certain level, any cooperation could break down.
"We still have to prepare for both sides."
Bill said to his classmate Steve, who was also the current CEO of Microsoft.
"I think so too."
Steve nodded. "Dell and HP are commercial companies after all. Although netbooks haven't exploded in the world yet, we can still try. I don't believe they won't try. "
"Steve, what do you have in mind?"
"I think we can also launch a simplified version of the Windows OS and compete with the Huanyu system by greatly reducing the price."
What was the biggest advantage of netbooks? The answer was the price.
As long as the price of the system was reduced to a certain level, then Huanyu Technologies might not have much of an advantage.
"We can reduce the price, but netbooks are completely free from our Windows and Intel's CPU. Overall, our cost is still very high."
"Of course, we have to talk to Intel about this. Hopefully, they will also reduce the price."
"That's fine too."
Bill nodded. "But I think it can be completely free."
"Free?"
Steve was a little surprised.
"Yes."
Bill confirmed. "Right now, our main market is China. In China, ordinary individual users use pirated operating systems. We don't actually charge much. Rather than that, we might as well do it for free. "
"If it becomes a habit, they won't pay in the future."
"As long as we beat Huanyu Technologies, we'll still have the final say in the future market. Besides, it's not up to them to pay. When the time comes, we'll directly bind with the computer manufacturer. They have to pay even if they don't want to. "
"That's a good idea. You're the boss. You have the final say. "
Even though Steve didn't particularly approve of it, this move was fatal for Huanyu Technologies.
"By the way, it seems like Huanyu Technologies is holding a developer conference."
"Yes, it was held last night."
"Do you have a video?"
"Yes … I've already asked someone to translate it. Do you want to read it together?"
"Of course."
Bill attached great importance to Huanyu Technologies.
Especially after the introduction of netbooks, Bill knew that he had to beat the Huanyu system before it could grow.
"Hehe, Bill, it's Li Kaifu who is hosting this conference."
In the video, as soon as Li Kaifu appeared, Steve laughed.
"I didn't expect this guy to go to Huanyu Technologies."
"Didn't you think highly of him back then? Let me tell you, don't believe them."
By 'them', Steve was naturally referring to those who had a different skin color from them.
"Let's see what he has to say."
Bill didn't think much of it.
Even though he thought highly of Li Kaifu when he was at Microsoft.
However, Li Kaifu only had good skills. He didn't think that Li Kaifu would achieve much after leaving Microsoft.
For example, Li Kaifu left Microsoft for Google and became the president of Google's China region. But in fact, Google didn't do well in China.
"Hey, what's this?"
After a short introduction, Li Kaifu got to the point.
The application store that Li Kaifu introduced the day before appeared in front of Bill's eyes through the video.
"This idea is amazing."
Like Bill, Steve's eyes lit up when he saw the application store.
Both of them knew.
Through this application store, users could download and install applications more easily.
More importantly, the application store provided countless software developers with a more effective promotion plan.
Of course, this wasn't the main point.
The main point was.
With this application store, it could be said that he had established a cooperative relationship with almost all software developers.
It wasn't just a cooperative relationship.
It could even be said that in the future, all software developers would have to look at the platform's face.
Otherwise, sorry, I'll take it down for you.
This was much better than the current Windows.
One had to know that although Windows had monopolized the market, they didn't have much control over other software manufacturers. You can't just block these software during the system update, can you?
But with the application store, everything was more reasonable.
"Steve, why didn't we think of this idea?"
Bill blurted out.
He felt that this was a big mistake in his life.
But after saying that, he started to blame himself in his heart.
This wasn't Steve's fault. If there was anything to blame, it could only be blamed that Windows didn't have a competitor.
Because there was no competitor, although Windows had been updating and upgrading, there were actually many innovations that they couldn't think of.
This wasn't because Microsoft wasn't smart enough. It was because Microsoft didn't think of such ideas at all.
The reason was simple. Even if there wasn't such an application store, all software still had to be compatible with their ecosystem.
Everyone could only follow the rules of the game set by Microsoft.
Simply put, this was because the way of thinking was limited.
But now, Huanyu Technologies had changed the gameplay and the rules of the game.
In an instant, countless people realized this.
It turned out that the new gameplay seemed to be fairer and more fun.
This wasn't much of a technical level.
In terms of skill level, it was still the same as before. This was a difference in the way of thinking.
In other words, this was the difference between the PC era and the mobile Internet era.
Why did the mobile Internet era surpass the PC Internet era so quickly?
It wasn't that the mobile Internet technology was more awesome, but the way of thinking of the mobile Internet was more awesome.
In terms of the three-body setting, it was a dimensionality reduction attack.
Creatures born in a low-dimensional plane would never understand what kind of weapons higher-dimensional creatures would have.
This was just like the term light years.
Many people thought that even if aliens were discovered, humans wouldn't be able to reach the aliens' territory.
Because even at the speed of light, it would take countless light years to reach those planets.
But many people might have overlooked that light years were not a unit of time, but a unit of length.
In theory, there were all kinds of speeds faster than light.
Perhaps light would take a year to reach a certain planet, but with other technologies, it would only take a second.
The application store looked ordinary, but it was a product of the mobile Internet era.
When such a product was placed in a lower-dimensional plane world, the impact it had was completely unimaginable.
Just like now.
After the Huanyu Technologies Software Developer Conference ended, thousands of software developers were instantly excited.
"Everyone, our chance is here. The browser market is a huge market. We have to launch our browser as soon as possible."
"Office and WPS are not the only office software business. We should be included."
"This is our latest music player. Cool me."
Among them, there were some companies that had participated in the Huanyu Technologies Software Developer Conference.
But more of them were those that hadn't participated.
Previously, they weren't interested in the Huanyu system. But after the video of the Huanyu Technologies Software Developer Conference was exposed, all software and hardware companies couldn't sit still.
Yes.
At this time, there was also a software developer named Wang Xin.
Unlike other companies, Wang Xin was only a personal software developer.
He liked to develop all kinds of software.
It was a pity that because he had always been a solo player and didn't have any financial connections, the software he developed wasn't recognized by the market.
Originally, Wang Xin almost gave up.
But when he saw the Huanyu Technologies Software Developer Conference, he resolutely picked up the keyboard again.
He was going to develop a video-playing software.
The reason why he wanted to develop video-playing software was that he felt that other video-playing software were rubbish.
Storm, Vanguard … they were all rubbish.
The video-playing software he developed would definitely be more awesome and faster than the video-playing software on the market.
For this reason, he even gave his video-playing software a name, Fast Play.
As the name implied, it was a video-playing software that was extremely fast.
