Chen Weidong is not afraid that Bill will not give in. The conditions he proposed should be the most fair equity participation plan under the current circumstances.

He needs unhindered access to the American market, and then spreads his wings so that Infinity Company's computer operating system becomes the only standard for personal computer operating systems in the world.

At that time, those software and hardware manufacturers will all have to look at their faces.

Otherwise, it is directly an "incompatibility".

Bill also needs this operating system to resist other competitors.

Moreover, this software was completely designed by Infinite Company, and Chen Weidong is on the strong side.

But considering Microsoft's current market value, Chen Weidong didn't push too hard. He just exchanged 30% of the equity of the newly established Infinity Software Company for 15% of Microsoft.

At the same time, he also took a fancy to Bill's super business ability.

So there is no interest in fighting for control of Microsoft.

The software engineers of Infinite Company are first-rate in designing software, but they only have a second-rate level in running the company.

If Chen Weidong really pushed his own people to the front desk before they had grown up.

Facing the old guys in the United States who are looking around at them, they can only take steps step by step, and they still don’t know when they will be able to unify the operating system market.

If coupled with the local protectionism in the United States, Chen Weidong may not be able to see the operating system of Infinite Corporation and monopolize the market during his lifetime.

Although Bill agreed in principle to Chen Weidong's request, Microsoft is a listed company and he does not have the final say alone.

At the very least, the consent of other major shareholders is also required.

Chen Weidong left it to him to discuss the matter. Whether he was deliberately delaying the matter or sincerely intended to persuade shareholders to cooperate, he didn't care.

As time goes by, their operating systems will occupy an increasing market share.

When the time comes, it is the other party who is anxious, not him.

In fact.

The situation was better than he imagined.

Less than a week after Bill returned home, he couldn't sit still at all in the face of the sharp decline in software sales. He hurriedly took action and convened a shareholders' meeting.

When Microsoft was first founded, the company belonged only to him and his high school alumnus, Paul Allen.

Their shareholdings are 60% and 40% respectively.

However, in 1986, for better development, the company was converted to public ownership, and he only retained 45% of the shares to ensure control of the company.

Of course, the company's board of directors also fully recognizes Bill's management capabilities and has never made it difficult for him in any way, and this time is no exception.

The computer industry across the United States is keenly aware that Microsoft is retreating steadily under the attack of a Chinese company.

The monthly sales of Windows XP dropped sharply from 200,000 units to 70,000 units in mid-April. Moreover, most of these 70,000 units were sold in overseas markets. The domestic market has almost shrunk to extinction!

Another even worse news is that European software sellers have also heard about the operating system designed by Infinite Company, and they have gone to China one after another in an attempt to buy this software.

Once European sellers purchase this powerful operating system, Microsoft's Windows XP sales will come to a complete standstill and become garbage that no one wants!

Those software companies that had been bullied by Microsoft and forced to withdraw from the market were all secretly laughing. Seeing Microsoft's embarrassment, they all felt angry.

This includes Apple.

Apple's computers have always been incompatible with IBM. They pride themselves on making their computers unique and not compatible with other manufacturers.

But in competition, open things will inevitably be more popular.

IBM relied on opening up its computer architecture to attract the participation of a large number of hardware manufacturers, thereby creating the term "compatible machine".

Computer manufacturers and accessory manufacturers around the world have abandoned Apple's closed environment and devoted themselves to the research and development of IBM x86 chipsets.

As a result, Big Blue overtook Apple and became a pivotal player in the personal computer industry.

However, it is precisely because of this that all software vendors around the world launch products based on X86.

Infinite Company's operating system also fully supports the X86 chipset.

As a result, Apple was finally able to laugh at their competitors in a relatively safe place, only to be beaten to a pulp by a Chinese company.

They are not worried that Infinite Company's operating system will pose a threat to them.

Because they know very well that this is America!

They are afraid of the ruthless competition from Microsoft, which is also an American company, but they look on coldly at a foreign company, especially a Chinese company.

April 17th.

The Washington Post began to publish articles expressing concern about the large-scale entry of computer operating systems developed by China into the American market.

The article pointed out: "If each of our computers is equipped with an operating system designed by China, and it is a closed system that is not open source to us, how can we know whether they have left a "backdoor" in the system?

Once they plan to steal our intelligence, we will be defenseless."

Someone took the lead, and in the following days, more and more such articles appeared.

A large number of local American newspapers have joined the ranks of criticism.

They appealed to the relevant agencies not to allow operating systems produced by Huaxia Corporation to continue to occupy the American market unscrupulously.

In order to protect the security of the United States, strong measures should be used to completely uninstall Infinite Company's operating system from American computers!

April 26th.

The spokesperson for American Information Affairs also said cryptically at the press conference when answering reporters' questions:

The United States will never allow anything that may endanger federal security to happen.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just when this trend was intensifying and was about to expand to other areas, Microsoft held a press conference and announced a strategic partnership with Infinity Company.

They will jointly develop a new generation of personal computer operating systems!

The American media was silent for a while.

Microsoft, which has been the most severely suppressed by Huaxia Corporation, has become the first person to speak up for Huaxia Corporation?!

This is really hard for many Americans to understand.

After that, there were still a large number of media outlets, writing and criticizing in newspapers, feeling worried and angry about the entry of Infinity Company's operating system into the American personal computer market.

Some media, however, stopped further attacks on Infinite Company due to Microsoft's high-priced public relations efforts.

soon.

An unconfirmed news began to circulate on the Internet.

This news said that Microsoft's move was forced to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden.

They plan to cooperate with the software department of Infinite Company to develop and transplant this set of the best personal software in the world to make it a safe software that the American people can use with confidence.

Many people started to think.

Looking back, Microsoft worked hard and spent five years to develop Windows XP. How difficult and exciting it was.

Consider the recent reality that Microsoft has been suppressed by Infinite Corporation.

Many people chose to believe it.

It is impossible for a powerful company like Microsoft to tolerate a Chinese company that is constantly weighing on its head.

I believe his move is just a temporary measure!

Of course, there are many people who are still skeptical about this and are uneasy about China's operating system occupying the American personal computer market.

The media, which are not optimistic about the cooperation between Microsoft and Infinity, are still doing their best to slander Infinity in newspapers.

However, Microsoft's reputation in the United States is pretty good.

He has always quietly played the role of providing a cheap and reliable operating system for the American people.

At the same time, Microsoft also makes large political donations to voters of different factions every year.

Under Microsoft's vigorous public relations, those mainstream media gradually ceased their activities, and some tabloids that were still promoting threat theories were unable to create enough waves.

Just like this, in the contradictory mentality of the American people.

May 1, 2002.

At the New York City Theater Center, the venue where Microsoft released Windows XP six months ago, an equally grand press conference was held here.

Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Ballmer and other Microsoft senior executives, as well as the head of the program department, appeared in public together with Chen Weidong, Chen Jie, software department head Lu Zhanhai, and other key personnel of Infinity Computer Company.

.

Even Song Yunjiang, the general manager of the Xiangjiang branch, was notified in advance and rushed over on a special plane.

Now, he is also a well-known figure in Hong Kong. He is ranked in the top 50 in the "Forbes" Hong Kong Rich List.

In particular, he is able to achieve what he has achieved today, and the behemoth behind him is also something people talk about.

Brother Jie, I haven’t appeared in Xiangjiang for a long time.

There is almost no news about him in the world.

Especially some time ago, when mainland China was distributing money, it was not distributed to the people in Xiangjiang! This caused his fans in Xiangjiang to wail and express on the Internet: "Brother Jie, don't forget where you made your fortune!"

"Don't forget your fellow villagers!"
