Rebirth of the Evil Life

Ellison's public service announcement stunned everyone. .

1 billion and 1 million yuan, plus a fraction of 1 lira. Such a huge sum of money was actually used to publish public service advertisements. This is really beyond everyone's expectation. All the CEOs were dumbfounded, this is too exaggerated! Let alone US$1 billion, these companies would not be willing to part with even US$100 million for public service advertisements. It turns out that Ellison is so generous, he is not sick!

"Well, today's auction is over. Thank you all for your compliments. Of course, here, I personally express my sincere admiration for Mr. Ellison's charity work. Here, I announce that I will spend 1% of my personal income this year. %, invest in public welfare. As Ellison said, there is only one earth, and we must treat our cue ball well, which is also the only home for us humans!" Lin Feng said loudly.

hiss! Many netizens squatting in front of the screen took a deep breath. How much money can Lin Feng earn in a year? Although there are no accurate estimates from the outside world, companies such as Lin Feng conservatively estimate that they can bring tens of billions of dollars in revenue to Lin Feng every year. This one percent is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Although it is not as much as Ellison's $1 billion investment this time, Ellison did it in the name of Oracle, while Lin Feng made his personal investment. There is a gap between the two parties.

In an instant, Lin Feng's image became even more glorious, making people look up to him even more.

snort! Many CEOs groaned, Lin Feng was once again trying to please others and deceiving the world. Taking this opportunity to promote his own glorious image and please the public. However, many CEOs are scolding in their hearts, but they also know that unless they also allocate corresponding funds for charity, today's auction will completely become a platform for Lin Feng and Ellison to establish a glorious image and declare themselves. And they will all become foils for Lin Feng and Ellison.

They were unhappy, but helpless. They don't have that much money to do public service announcements. Businessmen are seeking profits, and they are here to pursue profits, not to do charity and make public service announcements. Of course, it's not that we don't do public service announcements, but we only do them when we make enough money, rather than doing public welfare like today when we are full of anger.

The auction is over! But the subsequent turmoil was not over.

Ellison invested US$1 billion and 1 lire, beating Microsoft and Intel by 1 lire, and won the advertising spot in the Second World for the next year. This scene made everyone talk about it. . Winning with an advantage of 1 lira, this is probably the auction with the smallest advantage among all secret auctions. Generally speaking, if the advantage is too small, there may be insider information. But there is no inside story about this auction. Not only was it in front of everyone, but it was also broadcast live around the world. More than 1 billion people around the world witnessed tonight's auction. How could there be any insider information under such circumstances? Especially this secret shoot, it was also a last-minute decision, so it was even more impossible to cheat.

This can only show that Ellison is too shrewd and figured out the trump cards of 'Microsoft' and 'Intel', so he was able to win with an advantage of 1 lira! Naturally, Ellison was praised by most of the media. After all, the media always likes to beat up the losers, and the ridicule of "Microsoft" and "Intel" is almost overwhelming.

"K! K!" Ballmer looked angry. This time he was furious. He can accept losing, but he cannot accept losing at the price of 1 lira. Also unacceptable to him is Paul Otellini, the president of Intel. This time the two companies joined forces, but were defeated by Ellison 1 lira. How can this be accepted?

"They must be colluding, definitely!" Otellini shouted.

"Collusion? How to collude? These were all secretly photographed in public, how could there be collusion." Ballmer smiled bitterly. He also suspected collusion at first.

But he carefully watched the video and found that there could be no conspiracy.

"If it wasn't a conspiracy, how could it be 1 lire? How could Ellison estimate so accurately and beat us by 1 lire!" Otellini said with a ferocious look on his face.

Losing 1 lira to Ellison is a complete disgrace. He couldn't accept it.

"Paul, you can't say this without evidence. You have to know that Ellison is not a vegetarian. If he gets caught, we will be in trouble." Ballmer shook his head helplessly, although he was extremely unwilling to do so. But without evidence, he can't say anything.

"Hmph!" Otellini spat helplessly, "Steve, I think our two companies are in a very difficult situation now. Lin Feng's 'Pangu' relies on the advantages of the 'Second World' game to dominate the operating system market. It occupies an increasing share. Although it still cannot catch up with Microsoft's operating system share, it may be surpassed by Lin Feng in the long run, especially now that Oracle is also fully supporting Pangu. Although Oracle is now. 's database software also supports two systems at the same time, but judging from the trend, I am afraid that in the future, Oracle will only support the operating system of 'Pangu', and the situation will not be good!"

Ballmer nodded. This is what Microsoft is extremely afraid of right now. This is also the reason why Microsoft, for the first time, is fully committed to developing the next generation operating system when STA has just been launched. In Ballmer’s view, I am afraid that ‘STA’ will become the shortest-lived operating system in Microsoft’s history. It will end up like the ‘nMe’ that was once launched on the market.

"What do you want to do?" Ballmer asked.

"Currently, Lin Feng controls the technology of combining computer hardware and software into one. Unless we merge, it will be difficult to beat him in this field." Paul Otellini glanced at Ballmer.

"Otellini, if your company is willing to be acquired by us, we would be happy to do so." Ballmer stated his "Microsoft" attitude as soon as he opened his mouth. Merger is not impossible, but it must be led by ‘Microsoft’. This is the dignity of ‘Microsoft’ and the pride of ‘Microsoft’.

Otellini just rolled his eyes. 'Microsoft' has the pride of 'Microsoft', then 'Intel' doesn't have the pride of 'Intel'!

"Steve, if our hardware and software cannot be perfectly integrated into one, then our advantages in our respective fields will be equaled by Lin Feng. Coupled with Lin Feng's dominance in the gaming field, we may be Become the one eliminated by the market. Even if it is not eliminated, it will become the weak one," Otellini said with a solemn expression.

He was by no means an alarmist, but told the truth.

The computer market is undergoing rapid changes. In terms of hardware, Intel technology is far ahead, but this does not mean that it will continue to lead. Especially now, the rapid development of "CPU" has been dragged down by the performance of other hardware on the computer. Most of today's CPUs can already meet daily applications. Increasing the speed actually doesn't make much sense. Most of today's computer users' daily applications include watching movies, chatting online, playing games, and occasionally doing word processing. In this case, the current CPU is already sufficient for the application. Users simply don't need to spend more money on the CPU.

What really needs to be improved now is the speed of computer hard drives and the shortcomings in meeting the increasingly huge gaming surname, that is, the demand for graphics cards. In these two items, Lin Feng had the advantage. As time goes by, Lin Feng's advantages will become greater and greater. By then, no matter how great the CPU advantage of Intel is, it will not be able to solve the embarrassing situation of high CPU performance but poor overall machine performance.

At the same time, on the software. At present, the market of 'Microsoft' system is indeed larger, but in terms of ease of use, 'Pangu' is simpler and clearer. Although it lacks many functions, those functions are ones that most users may not use in their lifetime. ‘Microsoft’ relies on the habits of users and the support of most software companies to stay on top. This is also the reason why many companies want to challenge Microsoft but ultimately fail. But Lin Feng is different. He has the ‘Second World’, a sure-fire weapon. ‘Second World’ games perform significantly better under ‘Pangu’ than under ‘Microsoft’ system, allowing players to instinctively choose to support ‘Pangu’.

‘Microsoft’ still has the upper hand now, but what about the future? When players gradually get used to ‘Pangu’, what happens when more software companies start to support ‘Pangu’? what to do?

"Paul, what do you want?" Ballmer said silently.

"It's very simple. Both of us should sit together calmly and discuss how to cooperate. This is what we must do now, unless we want to watch Lin Feng eventually surpass us and use us as a stepping stone." Otellini said.

Ballmer was silent for a long time and finally nodded.

"Does this matter represent the attitude of the board of directors of Intel?" Ballmer asked.

Otellini nodded.

"Before coming here this time, our board of directors has passed a resolution to cooperate with you. Now we are waiting for your reply." Otellini said in a deep voice, "Compared to your slowness, we are more aware of Lin Feng's danger. . If we want to defeat this terrible opponent, we must cooperate, not the alliance!”

"I will convene a board meeting to discuss this matter as soon as possible. Once the results are available, I will give you a reply as soon as possible!" Ballmer said solemnly.

Otellini frowned. Ballmer's attitude is not enough to satisfy him, but he also knows that as the company gets bigger and bigger, the response will always be slower. Just like Intel, there were many opportunities to eradicate Lin Feng in the past, but the price was too high. As a result, when he hesitated, Lin Feng finally acquired Intel and completed its monopoly on the graphics card market technology.

Now, 'Microsoft' isn't enough of a wake-up call. However, Otellini believes that Microsoft will wake up. After all, their founder is Bill Gates. Although he is no longer involved in the management of Microsoft, he is by no means a mortal. (To be continued.)
