Chapter 398: The God Ship Must Be Killed (3 Orders)

Gates gave the way he has thought about it for a long time and can break the game.

Gates said to Michael: "The only way to break the game is to kill Changtian Technology in the cradle."

"Currently Microsoft has prepared three measures."

"The first measure, strangling the god ship from the system."

"Between now and next year, Microsoft is preparing to license certain PC makers to use Windows XP for free."

"These manufacturers include Lianxiang in Xiaguo and brands such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard in the United States."

Gates said with a smile: "We will authorize Lianxiang and computer companies in the United States to use the Windows XP system for free, and Tsinghua Tongfang and Fangzheng computer companies in Xiaguo will be authorized to use the XP system for a fee, but we will not authorize Shenchuan. Using Windows XP system."

"If God Ship wants to use Windows XP, then it can only use pirated copies forever."

"A computer company that can only use pirated systems is doomed to not last long."

It is conceivable that if Shenchuan is always marked as a copycat and a pirated system user, not to mention that it will be difficult for it to go out of Xiaguo to the international market, even in the domestic market of Xiaguo, it will be difficult to obtain the recognition of mid-to-high-end consumers.

Michael immediately realized that Microsoft's method was to hope that Lianxiang and other PCs could take advantage of the system in Xia, so as to kill the ship in Xia.

It is indeed a good way to let the two Xia Guo companies compete and introvert each other. .

And allowing Dell to use the XP system free of charge also hopes to re-establish a good ally with Dell and support Dell's development in the global market.

After the cost of using the system is reduced, it will also help Dell to reduce costs in the European market and increase its competitiveness.

"The second measure, strangling the god ship from the application software."

"We are ready to upgrade the windows office software, and cooperate with many software companies such as CAD, 3DMAX and MATLAB to upgrade these software to the latest version as soon as possible, and only support Windows XP system."

Shenchuan can indeed use pirated Windows XP systems and related pirated software. "

"But in the international academic and commercial fields, whether you are drawing, writing papers or performing mathematical calculations, the pirated software you use is absolutely not recognized. In this way, we will be in the academic and commercial fields. The hardware is blocked."

Gates is indeed a veteran who has been in the PC industry and the software industry for decades.

The applications that Gates just listed are the most widely used software on the market today.

Needless to say, Windows Office, more than 90% of the people who use computers to work in the world will use Windows Office.

CAD, 3D marks and Matlab are the king application software in engineering and academia. As long as there is international business cooperation or academic exchange, it is absolutely not allowed to use pirated software.

These software companies have already negotiated with Microsoft, and their software is absolutely impossible to support Changtian Technology's hardware devices.

If the user wants to use both the hardware devices of Changtian Technology and the software, he can only use pirated software.

Blocking the hardware design of Changtian Technology in the commercial and academic fields is to separate the users of the elite world from Changtian Technology.

Global consumption habits are top-down from the elite to the common people.

Although the number of elites is relatively small, their influence is very extensive, and they will also subtly affect the consumption habits of the entire Chinese people.

Twenty years later, whether it is luxury bags and clothes in the fashion industry, or iPhones in the electronics industry and luxury car brands in the automotive industry.

This consumption habit is, without exception, passed down from the elite.

If the elites of the entire Xia Kingdom begin to deny and dislike the hardware products of Changtian Technology, and classify such hardware products as copycats, pirated copies and inferior quality, then the consumers of the middle and lower classes will definitely be affected.

Gates said Microsoft's third strategy: "Strangle the ship from public opinion."

"This is not done by Microsoft. Many technology companies have long hated and disliked Changtian Technology."

"This time, we will not target Changtian Technology, but the export end of Changtian Technology products - Shenchuan."

"We have a detailed understanding of the history of Shenchuan. This is a company that started out as a hardware agent."

"The products they sell now are known for being cost-effective."

"Since it is cost-effective, the cost of production and design must be reduced."

"Especially for the design cost, the Shenchuan hardly spent a penny on the design."

"We have learned about Shenchuan's PC products in detail, and we will not talk about the core components, most of which are purchased from outside. However, including Shenchuan's chassis, monitors and even power supplies, many components are directly copied from other product designs. and production process.”

"Xia Guo has now joined the WTO and must comply with global intellectual property rights."

"Many technology companies, including Sony in Toyo, ASUS in Wanwan, and Samsung in South Korea, are preparing to file lawsuits to the WTO over the appearance of the product and the design of the power supply, and Shenchuan has made huge compensation."

"When these lawsuits and related public opinions are launched at the same time, it will be enough to drink a pot of magic."

Michael's breathing became rapid, and from Gates' remarks, he could see that the strength and resources used by American technology companies were very powerful.

The Shenchuan is so small, even if there is Changtian Technology behind it, it will be difficult to survive this round of attack.

Blocking the Shenchuan on the system and software is equivalent to pinning the signs of piracy and copycats on the body of the Shenchuan.

Then attack the Shenchuan on intellectual property patents and public opinion.

Since then, consumers around the world, including most consumers in Xiaguo, will have an inherent negative impression of Shenchuan - plagiarism, inferiority, piracy, etc.

This method seems to be dealing with the God Ship, but it is actually the Changtian Technology behind the attacking God Ship.

If such a god ship can still survive, then it is really unreasonable.

Of course, Shenchuan can use a method to survive, that is, resolutely not to cooperate with Changtian Technology.

The divine ship that lost the help of Changtian Technology was simply not worth mentioning in terms of combat effectiveness.

No matter how he develops, he is only the second Tsinghua Tongfang or the second Fangzheng, and it does not pose any threat to Dell or other PC companies.

Michael is most concerned about a question: "So where is Dell's interests? If we refuse to cooperate with Changtian Technology and get Microsoft's support, we will just stand on the same starting line with other brands."

Gates said with a smile: "Mr. Michael, Dell has no choice but to adapt to the development of the market. If you continue to cooperate with Changtian Technology, the future will be even darker, not only will you lose the European market, but also Xia Guo. market."

"Of course, as a cooperation agreement between our two parties, Microsoft will support Dell's development and decide to authorize Dell to use the WINXP system for free in the next three years."

Michael was helpless and nodded, he had no choice.

The only consensus in the US technology community at present is to engage in Death Ship and Changtian Technology.
