Rebirth of the Evil Life

w Steve Jobs had an instinctive feeling that something was wrong. ()

One sentence? What does Lin Feng want him to say? In this world, one word can make things happen, and one word can also cause bad things. One sentence can change a person's life destiny, or even the destiny of all mankind. Therefore, you can eat random things, but you can't say random words.

"What do you want to do?" Jobs asked Lin Feng intently.

Lin Feng smiled. But in Jobs' eyes, this smile was so evil.

"Actually, my request is really simple. It's just a matter of one sentence. I admit that my 'Pangu System' is good!" Lin Feng smiled slightly.

Jobs immediately took a breath. This sentence is really not simple. It is just one sentence, but it is enough to change the current situation of the 'Pangu System'. Although the 'Pangu System' currently occupies a large market share, it is completely a game entertainment system. Although it has a very good performance in game entertainment, the industry unanimously believes that in a comprehensive comparison with the 'Microsoft' system, it is Not as good as 'Microsoft'. It's just that "Pangu System" is opportunistic and focuses on gaming and entertainment, and for some reasons, "Pangu System" is better than "Microsoft" in gaming and entertainment.

In this case, if Apple admits that the Pangu System is good, it will be enough to shatter these rumors. You know, there are two giants in the operating system market, one is ‘Microsoft’ and the other is ‘Apple’. Although the market share of Apple's operating system is very low, that is because Apple's system is a closed system and Microsoft is a semi-open system. Therefore, Apple's operating system has a low market share. but. The user satisfaction of ‘Apple’ operating system is higher than that of ‘Microsoft’.

If 'Pangu System' can be praised by 'Apple', it will be extraordinary, which is equivalent to letting 'Apple' verify the true identity of 'Pangu System'. This will help Pangu Systems compete with Microsoft. Of course, if it was just to cause trouble for 'Microsoft', Jobs would still be happy. But he and Lin Feng also had a direct competitive relationship before. If he strongly supports the 'Pangu System'. In the future, Lin Feng will launch various electronic products, such as mobile phones, notebooks, etc. equipped with the "Pangu System", then "Apple" will not shoot itself in the foot.

Jobs shook his head repeatedly. He can't do this stupid thing. He can see far ahead. Under the leadership of Lin Feng, the 'Pangu System', although still a little immature at the moment, will definitely become popular in the future. Facing this potential future strong opponent. Jobs must proceed with caution. Don't act recklessly, causing one step to be wrong and every step to be wrong.

"Steve, if you don't agree to this, then I can't fight Microsoft in the front, and you can take advantage of it in the back! That would be unreasonable." Lin Feng groaned.

"Lin, defeat 'Microsoft'. The one who gains the most is not our 'Apple'. Regarding the current situation of our 'Apple', we only need to be ourselves,

That's enough. And you, don’t beat ‘Microsoft’. You don’t want to gain a foothold in this market! "Jobs said calmly.

From the beginning of its business, Apple has been based on being good at itself and not caring about the rest. Because 'Apple' is a completely closed system and does not communicate with the outside world at all, Jobs does not need to care about whether 'Microsoft' is strong or not. He only needs to care about whether Apple's products are creative enough and good enough.

"Yes, I am the one who benefits the most from defeating Microsoft, but don't forget that our battlefield this time is the mobile phone battlefield. Hey, the mobile phone market, Steve Jobs, I believe you should have done research on this market and should know this. How big is the potential of the market and how high are the future profits? In this increasingly developed communications world, people don’t have to use computers, watch movies, go to concerts, or even eat KFC or drink Starbucks. Coffee, but no one can say that they don’t use mobile phones. Landline phones can no longer meet the needs of human beings. Mobile phones are the most indispensable tool for human beings,” Lin Feng said loudly.

Jobs couldn't agree more. Over the years, since he returned to Apple, he has been thinking about how to make Apple the world's top high-tech company and how to use Apple's technology to create greater profits for Apple. Steve Jobs has already launched Apple notebooks and music players. What is the next profit growth point?

Jobs' point of view is - mobile phones. Of course, after mobile phones, Jobs still has many ideas, but these are all things in the future. What he has to do now is to maximize profits.

"Look, you also agree with me. If we want to dominate the mobile phone market and maximize the profits of mobile phones, we must face opponents like Samsung and 'Microsoft'. Samsung, let's deal with it together, then 'Microsoft' "I have to deal with it myself, Steve, do you think this is fair?" Lin Feng asked Qu.

Jobs frowned. It seems that Lin Feng has not achieved his goal and will not give up. After thinking for a while, Jobs reluctantly made a decision.

"The most I can promise is to admit in private that the 'Pangu System' is good. If it goes beyond this scope, I will stop working. At worst, we each do our own thing, and this alliance agreement will be abolished!" Jobs made a difficult decision.

Lin Feng suddenly smiled lightly when he heard this.

"Okay, it's up to you. Then I wish us a happy cooperation and dominate the mobile phone market in the future!" Lin Feng stretched out his right hand.

"Dominate the world!" Jobs wanted to hold Lin Feng's hand, but he remembered that he had been tricked by Lin Feng when he and Lin Feng were competing for the 'music player' (mp3) market. At that time, he vowed to never cooperate with Lin Feng again. shake hands.

With a "pop!", Jobs and Lin Feng high-fived each other without shaking hands.

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. This Steve Jobs is really stingy. It was an old rotten sesame thing a few years ago, but he still remembers it. It's a bit stingy.

Rotten sesame seeds? The veins on Jobs' forehead were about to explode. At that time, Lin Feng used Beckham to play the "Infernal Affairs" trick, which deceived Jobs and almost made him unable to work at Apple. Is this called rotten sesame seeds? Had it not been for the fact that in the end, relying on music copyright to save the situation. I'm afraid that Jobs will now be in Hollywood and continue to tinker with his 'Pixar'.

"Okay, Larry, I'm leaving now. If you need anything, call me! By the way. My Pixar has released a few more animations, which will be exclusively screened in your theaters." Jobs said hello to Ellison After that, he didn’t even look at Lin Feng. He turned around and walked away.

Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. So maverick, so clear-cut, this is Steve Jobs.

"Okay, Larry, thank you for today. Steve is gone, what should we eat?" Lin Feng turned to look at Ellison.

"Well, I think we can celebrate today. This time 'Microsoft' has a headache." Ellison laughed. "I heard that there is a Chinese restaurant that tastes very authentic. It's Sichuan food. I've been a little addicted to Sichuan food recently. , the spicy taste is really good, let’s go eat Sichuan food!”

"Haha, I didn't expect you to like Sichuan food. I thought you always liked sushi and sashimi!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

Ellison had been exposed to Japanese culture before and particularly admired the Japanese Bushido spirit and Japanese culture. Although he and Lin Feng are good friends, he has never concealed his friendship with Japan. Of course, in recent years, Ellison has become less interested in Japan. I started to be interested in Chinese culture. But in terms of food, Ellison always eats a Japanese meal every week.

"Haha, I recently watched an episode of "A Bite of China" and was attracted by the Chinese food culture in it. Lin, this program is really good! I think it can be introduced to the United States. Don't you have a TV station? It's absolutely possible. Play it on your TV station! I'm sure a lot of Americans will be interested," Ellison said.

Lin Feng laughed in his heart after hearing this. This "A Bite of China" was filmed at my own expense, just to promote Chinese food culture, and of course to make money. But I won’t tell Ellison for now. I’ll wait until the first high-end Chinese restaurant opens in the United States to tell Ellison and give him a surprise.

Lin Feng's goal is to truly bring Chinese culture to the world. Now, it's just getting started.

When Lin Feng and Ellison went to eat Sichuan food, the Microsoft headquarters was caught in a dispute.

"Ballmer, as the president of Microsoft, you agreed to such outrageous conditions. Don't you think you are unworthy of this position?" Several shareholders angrily criticized Ballmer's decision to recognize the status of "Pangu System". In their view, this is tantamount to letting Microsoft hand over the operating system market to Lin Feng. This is something they must never accept.

"Everyone, please don't be angry. I believe everyone should be aware of the ins and outs of this matter. Now we were unintentional and were taken advantage of by Lin Feng. We spent 1.05 billion US dollars to buy an empty shell of 'Female A'. If this news Once it is announced, the stock price will definitely plummet, and the final outcome will be similar to admitting that Pangu System is an excellent operating system." Ballmer was a little crestfallen. Being manipulated by Lin Feng was a great shame and humiliation for Ballmer. This was unacceptable to him.

"But even so, we can never admit that the 'Pangu System' is a good system." - The chief operating officer of 'Microsoft' said loudly.

"Yes, that's it!" Many executives shouted. They cannot accept this. It is absolutely unacceptable for "Microsoft" to admit that Lin Feng's "Pangu System" is good. no way!

"But, if this happens, our company will definitely suffer a heavy setback!" Ballmer also knew that he could not accept Lin Feng's outrageous conditions, but the price of not accepting it was too high. On the way back from Ellison's company, he I have been weighing and comparing. He found that admitting that the 'Pangu System' was good was a relatively rational behavior. Although 'Microsoft' has admitted that giving 'Pangu System' is equivalent to having a 'legal identity', even so, 'Pangu System' cannot compete with 'Microsoft' without the support of a large number of third-party software. . On the contrary, suppressing the news that "Microsoft bought an empty shell" Female A" will cause Lin Feng a lot of trouble in the end.

After all, the core business of "Female A" is graphics cards. If this graphics card cannot be exposed, sales will be extremely difficult in its market. And this market is ever-changing. 'Microsoft' can take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with 'Intel' to jointly develop new graphics cards and launch them on the market, breaking the previous situation where 'Microsoft' and 'Female A' teamed up to dominate the graphics card market. situation.

Ballmer's thinking is long-term. Compromise first, then hold back and exert force. But these shareholders are unwilling to lower their proud heads, which makes Ballmer a little difficult to make a choice.

"Everyone. I know what you are thinking. To be honest, I don't want Lin Feng to accept his unreasonable conditions while others are in danger. But everything has two sides. If he is still using his core business of hiding 'female A' Ellison has a bargaining chip in his hand to ask us to recognize the status of the 'Pangu System'. This will only cause trouble for him in the future and make 'Female A' lose its market value, and we can completely launch a genuine 'Female A'. You know, the graphics card is in our hands. At that time, it will be Lin Feng, not us! So we only need to hold back for a while, but if we can give Lin Feng a fatal blow. If we don't hold back, the company will suffer heavy losses. It is conservatively estimated that the stock price will drop by at least 13%, and there will be a series of subsequent impacts," Ballmer advised shareholders.

"No, we will never agree! We will never agree to this kind of thing! Our operating system is the best operating system in the world. Let us admit that Lin Feng's sensationalism and flashiness have no use except to look good, and there is no Any software operating system might as well kill us!" Many shareholders shouted loudly.

Ballmer was helpless. Although he is the president of Microsoft. But such a major matter must be recognized by these shareholders, otherwise he will not be able to execute it.

Helpless, he could only look at Bill Gates.

"Bill, what do you think?" Ballmer asked.

Bill Gates is the founder of ‘Microsoft’ and his words are decisive. As long as Bill Gates agrees, these people will compromise even if they object. This is the position of a company founder. Of course, Apple driving away its founder is a low-probability event. There have been many bankrupt companies in Silicon Valley over the years, but as the company grew, its founders were driven away, as happened with Steve Jobs.

Bill Gates stood up and looked around.

"Everyone, we, Microsoft, have always been the best company in the industry, and we have always been the world's number one software company. Therefore, we have our pride and our dignity. Lin Feng, a half-way monk, will definitely We cannot get our approval. We must not bow to Lin Feng!" Bill Gates said loudly.

"Yes, we must not bow to Lin Feng!" Many shareholders and executives immediately shouted angrily.

"Bill!" Ballmer was surprised. He didn't expect Bill Gates to think so.

"Steve, don't get excited, just listen to me!" Bill Gates walked up to Ballmer.

"I admit that your plan is very practical, and it is also the most sensible plan. It can reduce the losses of Microsoft to the greatest extent. I also believe that if we follow your plan, we will be able to defeat Lin Feng in the future. However, Bao Ermo, we are the number one software company in the world! Since we are number one in the world, we must never compromise! Never compromise! Ci loudly said, "Once we compromise, we will lose the pride we have and our dignity. So in the future, when other companies or the second Lin Feng challenges us, will we also choose to avoid it? ? So, let Lin Feng’s threats go to hell!”

Bill Gates' words were so impassioned that everyone's blood boiled. Including Ballmer, his whole body is full of power to fight Lin Feng. But his reason told him that this would be really miserable. Lin Feng had control over Microsoft this time, so he made such a request. Is it really worth fighting Lin Feng like this?

"Steve, believe in Microsoft. You have to believe that no matter what difficulties Microsoft faces, Microsoft will definitely win in the end. Aren't the companies like Apple and IBM in the past laughing at us? ! The final result? Our company has become the highest-priced IT company, and our company has become a company that changes the world! Steve, believe in Microsoft and believe in yourself! "Bill Gates said confidently! .

Ballmer lowered his head and said nothing. He already agreed with what Bill Gates said, but there was still a hurdle in his heart.

"Everyone, although Ballmer is running this shell incident, the reason for this tragedy lies with me. I was too excited to defeat Lin Feng and put too much pressure on Ballmer. That's why he made such an impulsive decision. Therefore, I will take responsibility for this empty shell incident. I will focus on the company's software development and will no longer be involved in any company operations. From today on, I will withdraw from the board of directors. "I will no longer attend company meetings." Bill Gates announced his decision to everyone, "Here, I implore you to finally give Ballmer a chance to continue leading Microsoft forward. I believe he is. The best person on the planet to lead Microsoft!"

"Bill!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Okay, everyone, someone must be responsible for this matter, and I am the most suitable person. So, please don't persuade me. In short, as long as we all unite, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and prevent Lin Feng from taking advantage of the loopholes!" Bill Gates said loudly.

"Bill, what are you doing! You are the founder of the company, and you don't participate in the board of directors." Ballmer smiled bitterly.

"Steve, you should understand me best. I hate meetings the most. I got tired of them a long time ago. So, whether I can come or not is not a humiliation for me, but a relief. Haha, it's just This is a heavy burden for you. You will be responsible for more things in the future." Bill Gates patted Ballmer on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course, there is one more thing, I feel it. A crisis is coming to us. This sense of crisis is not that of Lin Feng. It is a sense of crisis of the times. We are too comfortable with the status quo. There is an old saying in China, which is to live in sorrow and die in happiness. I want to focus all my attention. In software research and development, so not coming to the board of directors will also help my research.”

Ballmer thought for a moment and nodded heavily.

"Bill, don't worry, I will definitely make Microsoft continue to be strong, and no matter who the opponent is, they will definitely become our defeat! Whether it is five years, ten years, twenty years, or even a hundred years later, I It will definitely make 'Microsoft' stand at the top of the world's software empire!" Ballmer regained his strong confidence. He wants to defeat Lin Feng head-on. He wants to let Lin Feng know that the dignity of 'Microsoft' must never be insulted!

"That's it! Steve, I just want to see you like this. Confidence, we 'Microsoft' people must be confident!" Bill Gates laughed.

"By the way, let me introduce you to someone." At this time, Bill Gates introduced someone to Ballmer.

"Steve, this is Steven Sinofsky. He is the deputy general manager of the business unit. He has been studying the WS system and is considered one of the geniuses of our company. But he has been working in the software department before. I rarely attend such occasions, so you may not recognize him." Bill Gates introduced a somewhat bald middle-aged man to Ballmer.

"Hello, Mr. Sinofsky, do you have any good suggestions?" Ballmer stretched out his right hand.

At this time, Bill Gates introduced such a man to himself and praised him as a genius. This made Ballmer feel that there must be something unusual about this man, otherwise Bill Gates would not introduce him at this time.

"Hello, Mr. Ballmer. What I have always liked to study most is operating system software. After the launch of sta, the system has taken up too much system resources for no reason, resulting in high efficiency and low energy. I and I Our team has been studying how to improve this. And yesterday, we finally developed several patches that can solve the problem of high efficiency and low performance of the 'sta' system. As long as these patches are applied, our 'sta' system will not necessarily be affected. It will be more efficient than XP, but it will never be like now. No matter how powerful the computer is, it will not be able to run 'sta' perfectly," Steven Sinofsky said seriously.

What! Improve "sta"! Ballmer was excited when he heard this. You know, the main slogan of the launch of 'Pangu System' is to target the high efficiency and low energy of 'sta'. If you can overcome this, you will have the strongest weapon to confront the 'Pangu System' with that gorgeous interface!

Very good! This news is so good!

"Also, Mr. Ballmer, our team has received orders from Mr. Gates and is developing a new operating system-n7, which will be better than all other operating systems!" (To be continued) m
