Chapter 3120: Continuous Heavy Punches
w "Microsoft" "sta" is finally on sale.
The media around the world have temporarily put aside the news about Sierra Leone and focused their attention on ‘sta’. Originally, the release of operating system by 'Microsoft' would not have attracted such great attention, but because Lin Feng short-sold 100 million shares of 'Microsoft', the trading day was March 5, and the sales volume of 'Microsoft' "sta" It directly affects the stock price of 'Microsoft', and the fluctuation of the stock price of 'Microsoft' will also indirectly determine the status struggle between 'Pangu System' and 'Microsoft' system. Therefore, it attracted the attention of all media.
For today's sale, founder Bill Gates, who has announced that he will no longer be involved in the daily management of Microsoft, also appeared at the launch ceremony and held a unique launch ceremony in Times Square, New York.
"Everyone, today, 'sta' is officially released. This is Microsoft's latest operating system. It not only has gorgeous graphics, but is also absolutely safe. It can resist viruses more effectively than the xp system. At the same time, the 'sta' system can also be perfectly compatible with x wave x360 for interaction! This is an unprecedented new operating system, I firmly believe that it will bring you a new experience!" Bill Gates explained emotionally at the press conference.
And with Bill Gates’ words coming to fruition, ‘sta’ has officially started to go on sale.
As with previous launches of 'Microsoft' operating systems, the crowds were huge. In the United States and other places, consumers excitedly and orderly entered major software retail stores to buy ‘sta’, and every buyer’s face was filled with desire for this new ‘Microsoft’ operating system.
After one hour.
"How many sales are there now?" Ballmer asked.
"Go back to the president. The current sales volume of 'sta' has exceeded 130,000 copies! It is double the sales volume of 'xp' in the same period!" the secretary said excitedly.
Ballmer nodded.
Three hours later.
"How many sales are there now?" Ballmer asked.
"Back to the president, global sales have exceeded 300,000 copies, which is still double the sales volume of 'XP' in the same period!" the secretary trembled. The whole person was extremely excited.
In this operating system dispute between 'Microsoft' and Lin Feng, the outside world originally thought that 'Microsoft's' 'sta' system might encounter a waterloo, and sales might not be very good. But I didn't expect it. The sales volume not only exceeded the sales volume of "XP", but was also twice as much. This couldn't be better news.
"Okay!" Ballmer shouted excitedly. He couldn't wait to tell the world immediately and let everyone know how amazing the sales volume of 'sta' was.
But it’s only been 3 hours now, and 3 hours of data can’t explain much. So, he still had to wait. Waiting for tomorrow to count sales.
"Boss, according to some news, the sales volume of 'sta' far exceeds the original sales volume of xp in the same period. I'm afraid. This time it will be very troublesome!" Lin Chiling said in a low voice.
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"There is nothing to worry about. It is expected that the sales volume of 'sta' will exceed that of xp in the same period. After all, consumers have an inertial consumption habit. Everyone is already accustomed to using the 'Microsoft' operating system. The launch of the new 'sta' There will always be some people buying the system, and this cannot be changed in the short term. This is the absolute market advantage brought by monopoly!" Lin Feng said.
Lin Chiling nodded. But there was a look of worry on his little face.
"Don't worry, I won't lose money on this futures transaction. Don't worry!" Lin Feng said confidently.
The current share price of 'Microsoft' is 178 yuan, which is slightly lower than the 182 yuan when Lin Feng made the bet. The reason for the drop is naturally due to Furukawa's lawsuit. As Vice President of ‘Microsoft’. He went to China to fight against piracy, but was involved in a life-threatening lawsuit and was charged with 'manslaughter'. This will naturally directly affect the stock price of 'Microsoft'. Therefore, Ballmer offered Furukawa a lifetime contract and asked him to apologize to prevent the lawsuit from directly affecting the stock price of Microsoft.
Now that the lawsuit has been settled, and the sales of ‘sta’ exceed expectations, this will definitely increase the stock price of ‘Microsoft’. Lin Chiling is worried that by March 5, the stock price will exceed 18.2 yuan. She was not afraid that Lin Feng would lose money. It was only 100 million shares. Lin Feng could still afford to lose this amount of money. Lin Chiling is just worried that losing to 'Microsoft' will cause a blow to 'Pangu System'.
"Haha, don't be too anxious. There are always winners and losers in this mall, and no one can be a victorious general. If we lose, it's just because our skills are inferior to others. What's more, the game has just begun now!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Lin Chiling sighed helplessly. She sincerely admired Lin Feng's calmness and calmness. You said, this is almost imminent, but Lin Feng can still be so calm and composed. I really don't know how his mental quality can be so good. But that's also why it attracts her so much.
One day passed.
The next day, Ballmer held a very high-profile press conference.
"Everyone, this is great news. In the past 24 hours, the 'sta' system has set a record of more than one million sales on the first day, which has far exceeded the original sales of 'xp'. I can announce that 'sta' 'The system will be the most successful operating system ever!" Ballmer said proudly.
All the reporters exclaimed. Everyone had guessed that the ‘sta’ system sales would be good, but they didn’t expect that the sales would exceed one million on the first day. This sales volume is really amazing. The most successful operating system of all time, indeed, and absolutely deserved it!
applause!
"The second thing I want to announce is that the crackdown on piracy in China has achieved initial success!" Ballmer said loudly.
Fight piracy? All the American reporters frowned slightly. This is not a good memory. The sent Vice President Yuki Furukawa got into a lawsuit in China and almost didn't implicate Microsoft. Why did Ballmer bring it up at this time? Moreover, it was said that it had achieved initial success. This is so strange.
"Everyone, there is a piracy website in China called 'Tomato Garden'. This piracy website specializes in piracy of our 'Microsoft' , the relevant website personnel have been controlled by the Chinese Public Security Bureau and will be charged soon. At the same time, our anti-piracy operations will continue. I firmly believe that as our anti-piracy activities in China progress, 'sta. "The sales volume of the system in China will exceed the sales volume of 'XP' several times! China will become another profit growth point for us!" Ballmer roared.
The actual benefits of taking down the pirated website Tomato Garden are not great, but for Microsoft and Ballmer, it is a moment of pride. Previously, their vice president was plotted by Lin Feng and was actually involved in a lawsuit. Now they have taken down China's largest "Microsoft" system piracy website. This is a counterattack against Lin Feng, telling Lin Feng that "Microsoft" is not that easy to bully. Of course, they lost a vice president here, and Lin Feng lost a pirated website that had almost nothing to do with Lin Feng. This loss to Microsoft was a bit big.
But for Ballmer, he only cares about one thing, momentum! ‘Microsoft’ is gaining momentum! Then the stock price will inevitably rise wildly due to these two pieces of good news! In four days, including the four days left today, if the stock price of Microsoft exceeds US$182 at the close of trading on the 5th, then Lin Feng will lose. This Chinese man who has created countless miracles and has various auras lost.
And if 'Microsoft' can beat him once, it can beat him twice. Ballmer believes that as long as he can defeat Lin Feng this time, he will be able to drive his "Pangu System" out of the operating system market. The operating system market is forbidden by Microsoft and cannot be coveted by anyone.
as expected! Under these two pieces of good news, the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ has been rising steadily. Soon, it surpassed $20 and quickly headed towards $21. When the market closed in the afternoon, Microsoft's stock price had exceeded US$21 and reached US$213. If based on the current stock price, Lam Feng has already lost US$300 million.
Of course, ‘Microsoft’s’ actions are not over yet. Subsequently, Ballmer and Intel President Paul Otellini jointly announced that the two companies would re-release "Female DA" graphics cards! And it was announced that a new graphics card will be launched in the middle of this year.
When the news was announced, the entire international media community was once again excited. Prior to this, 'Microsoft' had admitted that they spent US$10.5 billion to purchase a nearly empty shell of 'Nv A', and the most important graphics card business was not included in the bag. Now, 'Microsoft' and 'Intel' have jointly launched a new 'Female A' graphics card, so does this constitute infringement? Does this move by ‘Microsoft’ and ‘Intel’ mean that the once infinitely glorious ‘n-tel’ alliance will once again regain its glory?
And 'Microsoft' and 'Intel' have launched 'Female A' graphics cards, but what about the 'Female A' graphics card in Ellison's hands? Can it still be launched? If Ellison goes ahead and releases a graphics card, what will it be called? Can you still call me ‘female A’? Does that constitute infringement?
Thinking of this, countless pictures appeared in the minds of many reporters. In these pictures, Microsoft and Ellison once again faced off in court, and Lin Feng and Ellison joined forces to fight against Microsoft and Intel. There were too many. The picture instantly jumped into the minds of many reporters.
They are excited! This series of punches from 'Microsoft' is really too fierce and powerful!
Can Lin Feng withstand it? (To be continued)m
