Chapter 3128: Smart Jobs

All the reporters turned their attention to the stock price display erected by Lin Feng. Everyone was paying attention to the stock price of "Microsoft". (br />
Before Lin Feng announced the sale of ultrabooks, the stock price was stable at US$27 as Microsoft investigated whether WPS infringed. At this time, Lam Feng was still losing US$900 million.
And after Lin Feng announced the launch of the "ultrabook" that is enough to make people crazy, how will the stock price of "Microsoft" fluctuate? Everyone is looking forward to it and waiting.
But surprisingly, the stock price did not fluctuate. Yes, the bizarre thing is that after waiting for a long time, the stock price did not fluctuate. The stock price of 'Microsoft' is still stable above 27 US dollars, slowly beating between... US dollars.
What! how so! The stock price of ‘Microsoft’ actually holds up! This is impossible! All reporters were speechless.
Lin Feng's five ultrabooks are all satisfactory in terms of appearance and performance. They can almost be said to be perfect endorsements. Not to mention others, reporters want everyone to have one. Although he is using the 'Pangu System', for ordinary applications, especially for these reporters, it is enough. After all, for most reporters, they usually just do word processing and do not need other more profound processing functions.
As for computers, the mainstream application is always gaming and entertainment, followed by word processing. Next is video processing, image processing, etc. As for more esoteric applications such as... etc., they are already software used by professionals. public. Almost 90% of people have no access to these professional application software.
Therefore, this ‘ultrabook’ is definitely very attractive to ordinary people. Especially so cheap. But why won’t the stock price fall? This is so strange.
Lin Feng is also very strange. According to what Lin Feng thought. The stock price of 'Microsoft' should be at least a few dollars lower at this moment. But I managed to hold on strangely, it was so weird. Think about it. Lin Feng decided to throw out another bargaining chip to test this weird market reaction.
"Everyone, due to the format of the wps software, it cannot be opened under the 'Microsoft' e-series, but the wps software produced by Kingsoft Software Company under the 'xp' system can perfectly open the wps software format under the 'Pangu system'. Therefore, As long as the wps software is installed, any wps file format under the two systems can be opened perfectly.
"Lin Feng announced.
surprise! Many reporters were surprised. If this happens. Then they don't need to consider compatibility issues between the two systems.
Word office processing has been perfectly solved, and they no longer need to consider the dilemma of buying an Ultrabook and sending back files that cannot be opened under the 'XP' system. Then this ultrabook will have more purchase value, and the 'Pangu System' will also have a larger market. Then the stock price of 'Microsoft' will definitely drop. inevitable!
But what is surprising is that the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ has no longer been volatile except for falling directly to 27 US dollars. Although it is no longer rising, it is not falling either. In other words, ‘Microsoft’ has defended the $27 level. Defending this level also means that Lin Feng’s deliberate ‘Ultrabook’ offensive has been dismantled.
This is for 'Microsoft'. is a good thing. Many American reporters present were also happy to see this. But they were wondering, how did Microsoft resist Lin Feng's offensive? Why can 'Microsoft' resist Lin Feng's attack?
Finally, after a moment of surprise, there was a response. Numerous reporters received information from outside sources.
Faced with this information, many reporters looked in disbelief. This is impossible! How could this be? This is so strange!
Why are these reporters surprised? The reason is very simple, because it was not Microsoft that resisted Lin Feng's offensive, but someone helped Microsoft, and the person who helped Microsoft was not someone else, but Apple, which had always been at odds with Microsoft. . ‘Apple’ will actually help ‘Microsoft’.
After Lin Feng announced the release of the "Ultrabook", Apple issued a notice. The notice did not say anything. It just listed the cost of the hardware used by Lin Feng's "Ultrabook". According to this notice pointed out that the manufacturing cost of Lin Feng's "Ultrabook" is as high as US$679. This is the manufacturing cost. If you include taxes, freight, advertising, etc., the price of the ‘Ultrabook’ cannot be lower than $699, otherwise it will be a loss. Now this ultrabook only sells for $599, a net loss of $100 per unit.
Lam Feng is selling his ‘Ultrabook’ at a loss. Of course, selling at a loss is not unusual. For example, 'Sony' company also sold their 'ps2' game console at a loss. But in the end, with a strong game development platform, it finally became profitable. Hardware loses money and software makes money. This is an acceptable operating model. But the 'Pangu System' itself is completely free, and under this 'Pangu Platform', there is not enough software to make a profit. At least the 'Second World' has not launched software with a profit model. Although the 'Second World' has launched video playback software, QQ chat tools, input methods, etc. based on the 'Pangu System', these are all free.
How to make a profit without charging? If there is no profit, then the loss for selling one unit is at least $100. If 10 million units are sold, then the loss will be $1 billion. Although Lin Feng is rich, his wealth is enough for him to bear such a huge loss, but the Second World can't bear it. You know, the net profit of the Second World last year was only $7.8 billion. Just selling 10 million units will result in a loss of $1 billion. And the Ultrabook is so good, what if it sells 100 million units? Wouldn't it be a loss of $10 billion.
Can the Second World bear it? Even if the Second World can bear it, Lin Feng can take out funds to save the company, but in the long run, the company will inevitably fall apart. Don't forget that the source of Lin Feng's assets is largely due to the gambling game with South Korea, which allowed Lin Feng to drain the wealth of the Korean people almost instantly. He plagiarized the wealth of a country overnight. But this opportunity only comes once. He can't succeed every time. What's more, Lin Feng's huge funds are now inexplicably pressed on food operations. Food occupies Lin Feng's extremely large funds. More than 400 billion US dollars of funds are all used in food operations.
Lin Feng is now estimated by the outside world to have about 35 billion US dollars in cash (Lin Feng can actually squander 38 billion US dollars in cash now). With such losses, he can't hold on for long. Moreover, Apple's calculation still omits a large part of after-sales service. You know, after-sales service also occupies a very important link in profit. If after-sales service is included, the selling price should be even higher.
So. After Apple's announcement, although the market is optimistic about the "Ultrabook", it is not optimistic about the prospects of the "Second World". Faced with a product that is bound to lose money and has no ability to make a profit, although Lin Feng has strong funds as a backing, many investors do not think that the "Ultrabook" will definitely change the market positioning of the "Pangu System".
Therefore, Microsoft's stock price remained stable and held the $27 mark.
"Hahahahaha~~~~. Lin Feng, you didn't expect Apple to make a move! But Apple must make a move. If it doesn't, not only will our operating system market be taken away, but also their notebook market will be taken away!" Ballmer laughed. At this moment, he laughed extremely wildly and crazily.
How could he not laugh? Lin Feng's 'Ultrabook' forced Apple to the side of Microsoft. This is so funny! Lin Feng is fighting with three super companies, Microsoft, Intel, and Apple, at the same time! No matter how many cards Lin Feng has, Ballmer believes that Lin Feng will lose.
'Apple'! Lin Feng frowned slightly. The emergence of Apple is reasonable. But it is unexpected. The launch of the 'Ultrabook' has already seized the market of Apple, and Apple will definitely make a move. But Lin Feng didn't expect that Apple would make a move so early, and at such a critical moment. It seems that Jobs is also afraid of his own 'Ultrabook'.
Indeed, Jobs did feel a little scared after seeing the 'Ultrabook'. Now, the main profit points of 'Apple' are in two directions, one is 'd', and the other... The market is almost saturated, and the annual profit is limited. But '' has always been in the growth stage. 'Apple' has always dominated the notebook market with the stylish and beautiful appearance and performance of '', as well as thinness and lightness, although the price is high.
But now, Lin Feng wants to share this. Do you think Jobs can tolerate it! So, he immediately ordered his subordinates to analyze the hardware cost of the 'Ultrabook' and announced its loss-making sales. Jobs can't let Lin Feng seize the '' market, otherwise before 'ne' is born, Apple will be in trouble.
Although this will benefit 'Microsoft', there is no absolute enemy in the market. At this moment, Jobs' enemy is Lin Feng, so it is understandable to cooperate with 'Microsoft'. Of course, it is only this time. No matter what Lin Feng did afterwards, Jobs would not help Microsoft. On the contrary, he would make his promise to Lin Feng - admit that Pangu System is definitely an excellent system and give Microsoft a fatal blow.
Fight to the death! Jobs wanted Microsoft to fight to the death with Lin Feng, so that Apple could make a profit.
So, after Microsoft held the $27 stock price, Ballmer laughed wildly, and Lin Feng shook his head slightly to show his helplessness, Jobs posted a Weibo, a trivial but crucial Weibo.
The Pangu System is a system that I have seen that is no less than OS.X. Although it is still a little immature at present, it has great potential and future. In my opinion, its system is definitely stronger than Microsoft's system with complicated content, lengthy procedures and rampant viruses. I am optimistic about the future of Pangu System! - Jobs said.
After Jobs posted this Weibo, it was instantly forwarded millions of times, especially the giants in the industry who were shocked by Jobs's move and frequently forwarded it. In a short time, it became known to everyone.
Shameless! Jobs, you are too shameless! You are fanning the flames and watching the fight from the mountain! ——Ballmer also saw this Weibo, and he was so angry that he vomited blood. Jobs is too despicable, really too despicable. He first helped "Microsoft" and then helped Lin Feng, but in the end, he hit both Lin Feng and "Microsoft". It's too despicable! I just laughed and thought Jobs was helping me. I am too stupid and naive!
Jobs, you bastard! Ballmer roared in the office.
And as Ballmer roared, the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ fell. Under Jobs’ Weibo, the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ could no longer hold the $27 mark and fell by $2 in an instant. Fortunately, at $25, it held the third level. Of course, if ‘Apple’ had not released the cost announcement of the ‘Ultrabook’, I’m afraid that this time, the stock price of ‘Microsoft’ would have fallen below $23. If that happened, ‘Microsoft’ would probably be in danger.
Despicable! Despicable! Despicable! Ballmer roared, and he swore that he would never forgive Jobs, and he must make Jobs pay the price.
At this moment, Lin Feng witnessed the fluctuations in the stock price of ‘Microsoft’, with a helpless look on his face. This Jobs is really too talented. I thought he was good at starting a business and good at research and design, but it turns out that he is also so proficient in management. He is also so accurate in grasping the timing. This person is a strong enemy.
His success, the success of Apple, is not just driven by a few products. More importantly, it is Jobs himself! It seems that the future competition for mobile phones cannot be underestimated.
Lin Feng slowly exhaled. The competition for mobile phones is still in the future. Now he will solve Microsoft first and let his Pangu system really occupy a place.
"Everyone, I will announce the fourth thing next, that is, my Pangu system will launch version 2.0! Compared with the current version 1.0, the 2.0 version does not have many changes. There are only two changes. One is that it is more efficient and concise. Of course, I can't say how efficient and concise it is. You can only experience it after using it. What I really want to say is the second point, that is, the addition of artificial intelligence!" Lin Feng said slowly.
Artificial intelligence! Many reporters were moved. You know, artificial intelligence has always been studied by the high-tech industry, but at present, only Lin Feng has made some progress. Lin Feng launched an artificial intelligence program of "Nuwa Niangniang" in "Baidu-Yahoo", which can help netizens to search online more efficiently and conveniently. However, the artificial intelligence of this "Nuwa Niangniang" is probably just a prototype, which can only make it more convenient for netizens. It cannot do what is shown in science fiction movies, where users can get everything they want by just typing a sentence or a line of words.
Of course, this is already very good. However, the outside world has always believed that this is controlled by the main program of the "Second World". Without the Internet, this so-called "Nuwa Niangniang" loses its so-called "intelligence". And now it has been added to the "Pangu System"? Could it be that every user's computer will have an artificial intelligence program? All reporters showed strange eyes. If so, it is really against the sky. rq
