Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"How's it going, cousin? Have you thought about it clearly?"

"Brother, are you so optimistic about Chen Yu?"

"Why, are you still hesitating?"

Regardless of whether the bet with Chen Yu won or not, Zhenrong had already made the decision to implement it.

He wanted to convince ASUS, which Shi Congtang was in charge of, to try to cooperate with Huanyu Technology.

"Tongtang, now you have become indecisive."

"I don't want to either."

Shi Congtang shook his head: "It's just that the bigger the company gets, the less I dare to change the direction at will."

"I'm not asking you to join the Huanyu camp, I'm just trying to cooperate with Huanyu Technology."

"We can consider entering the all-in-one machine."

"What about installing the Huanyu system on traditional P?"

"I haven't thought it through yet. And..."

"And what?"

"Microsoft's Vista may be released this year."

…

"All-in-one machine, I didn't expect Huanyu Technology to come up with a new product."

Microsoft.

Bill was a little helpless.

He didn't expect that Huanyu Technology would come up with a new P product.

Although this P product is considered by Bill, it is a stolen concept.

He is actually still P.

It's just a series of hardware integrated into the display panel.

But you think he is just changing the concept, but he has actually attracted many consumers.

What was even more unacceptable to Bill was.

Huanyu Technology has done this work of secretly changing concepts four times.

The first time was the introduction of netbooks.

The second time was the launch of a game notebook.

The third time was the launch of Super TV.

The fourth time is this all-in-one machine.

Although whether it is a netbook, a game notebook, a super TV, or now an all-in-one computer, they are all niche products.

However, the accumulated volume of niche products cannot be underestimated.

"Bill, is this our vista?"

Steve on the side pursed his lips.

Regarding Huanyu Technology, Steve really had a huge headache.

In fact, according to the current market share of Huanyu Technology in operating systems, it is still not very large.

Logically speaking, they should just ignore it.

But the more he worked on operating systems, the more Steve knew.

In their eyes, there can only be one operating system in the world, and there must be one operating system.

No matter how small the proportion of Huanyu System is, he has already launched a challenge to Microsoft.

Moreover, Huanyu system is no better than other Linux systems and Apple systems.

Although the Huanyu system is also built based on the Linux kernel.

However, Linux systems were previously only used in the server field and in the research stage of computer enthusiasts.

He has not really entered the general user group.

Although the Apple system has many fans, it is too closed and it is impossible for it to spread.

But Huanyu System is different.

He was born to challenge Microsoft Windows.

Moreover, they smartly knew that it was very difficult to challenge windows, and they took several steps apart.

Netbooks, gaming laptops, super TVs, all-in-one PCs... these seem to be separate, but they use the same Universal system. Once the market share of Universal Systems increases, a series of software and hardware manufacturers will develop matching products.

This is not the charm of Huanyu Technology.

This is due to interests.

Because major software and hardware manufacturers have discovered that they still have a market that looks good.

The original Vista, according to Microsoft's plan, was to be released in 2007.

But now, some of them can't wait.

They don’t want Huanyu System to get bigger.

Once you get big, you don’t even need to get big.

Even if Universal Systems accounts for 20 points of the global operating system share, Microsoft is under tremendous pressure.

In fact, Microsoft is under tremendous pressure now.

In recent months, this can be seen from the fact that Microsoft's stock has not risen much.

The market also seems to be dissatisfied with Microsoft.

If Microsoft does not respond, I am afraid that Microsoft's stock price will begin to decline.

"Steve, post it."

Seeing Steve turning to ask him, Bill confirmed.

"real?"

Steve confirmed again.

"certainly."

Seeing that Steve was a little surprised, Bill said, "What, Steve, don't you have confidence in our Vista?"

"No, how is that possible?"

"What about you?"

"I was just thinking, Bill, how long has it been since we paid so much attention to an opponent."

"It's been ten years."

When Steve said this, Bill was reminded of the battles between Microsoft and IBM, Apple, and a series of giants.

At that time, Microsoft was not as powerful as it is now.

But Microsoft relied on its hard work in the market to successfully introduce their windows to the world.

Until now, they have monopolized the operating system market for ten years.

And within ten years, there were almost no opponents.

They had thought about it before.

In the future, even if there are competitors in the operating system field, they will probably only be IBM and Apple.

But the current opponent is not IBM or Apple.

It is Huanyu Technology from China.

"Steve, don't think so much. In fact, you know what, I'm getting excited again now. Just like when we released Windows 95."

"I also have some. Vista is an epoch-making operating system. When I think about the launch of Vista, I am a little excited."

"In that case, what are you waiting for?"

"Bill, don't worry, I know what to do."

With Bill's approval, Microsoft eo Steve began his operations.

As Microsoft's most important product, Vista, it is naturally impossible to hold a press conference directly from the launch.

For Microsoft, such a blockbuster product had to be warmed up several times at the beginning of its release.

Such as the first time now.

A heavyweight news media revealed to the public that Microsoft is about to release its latest operating system.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a global sensation.

Even though, this news doesn’t even know the name of the latest operating system.

But when the world heard the news, countless onlookers had already joined in the discussion of Microsoft's latest operating system.

"Brothers, have you heard that Microsoft is going to release the latest operating system."

"Well, I heard that the XP system was released in 2001, and now it is 2006. It is indeed time to release a new system."

"I heard that Microsoft's new system has an unparalleled interface. It is the most technological and beautiful operating system in history."

"Stop talking, I just want to ask when the system will be released. I want to experience it as soon as possible."

Yes.

Microsoft's latest operating system has such magic.

This is a bit like Apple releasing new phones in previous generations.

Often, as long as a little bit of news is revealed, even if the news is only a little bit of information, it can cause countless consumers to go crazy.

This may seem weird, but actually everything is normal.

Because behind all this craziness comes from their recognition of Microsoft's strength.

in their eyes.

The most technological and technical IT technology company in history is Microsoft.

"Kaifou, Microsoft is going to release the latest operating system, what do you think?"

In the office, Chen Yu called Kaifu Li over.

In fact, Kai-Fu Lee also wanted to report to Chen Yu about Microsoft's latest operating system.

As the person in charge of Huanyu Technology Huanyu System, Li Kaifu has been keeping an eye on Microsoft recently.

"I have been involved in Microsoft's latest operating system for a while. Within Microsoft, it can be said that this is Microsoft's most ambitious and ambitious business."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Because I left Microsoft early, I don't know much about the overall operating system. However, based on my time at Microsoft, I believe that after the release of Microsoft's latest operating system, their profits will increase by more than 50%."

"so much?"

Chen Yu was very calm.

The vista in his previous life had told him that he was a failure.

However, despite this, Chen Yu also wanted to hear Li Kaifu's thoughts.

"Is Microsoft preparing to increase sales?"

"That shouldn't be the case."

Li Kaifu shook his head: "Mr. Chen, we know that Microsoft's sales model is to sell the client once, and then provide all services and experiences from the end of the business. But this model has a huge drawback, that is, they can only sell it once. Money. After users buy the Microsoft operating system activation code once, they do not need to pay again."

"Indeed it is."

"But the number of global users is stable and will not increase all at once. Moreover, Microsoft has long monopolized the entire market. For them, all computer users are their consumers, and how much money they can make has been fixed. It's impossible to increase. If the sales model remains the same, just a one-time payment, Microsoft certainly doesn't want to be satisfied with that."

"The best way is to pay once a year."

"Yes, Mr. Chen, I think Microsoft has such an idea. Of course, this is just my guess."

In fact, it is normal for Microsoft to have such an idea.

It's like making an online game.

Online games sell an activation code for 200 yuan at a time, and you can play and make money for the rest of your life? Or is it more profitable to use the point card system to keep throwing money away?

obviously.

Selling an activation code at one time is the least profitable.

Only by continuously recharging your business can you maximize your profits.

"So, if you start paying, according to your guess, if Microsoft wants to pay once a year, then it will launch more user services and a better user experience."

"Yes."

certainly.

If the guess is correct, this won't just boost Microsoft's bottom line.

More importantly, this will be a huge blow to the Huanyu system.

If Microsoft's operating system can provide more services and a better experience, then it will surely influence users to choose Universal System.

Like now.

Even if Microsoft's latest operating system hasn't appeared yet, there are a lot of people who want to experience their latest operating system.

A few days later.

After relevant media revealed that Microsoft was about to release its latest operating system, Microsoft confirmed the matter head-on.

The name of Microsoft's latest operating system is Vista.

Moreover, they also exposed a picture of Aurora, the graphical user interface of the latest operating system.

"Oh my God, this interface is so beautiful."

"This is a sci-fi operating system."

“Fantastic interface.”

Looking at Microsoft's various operating systems, when it comes to the most beautiful operating system, Vista ranks second, and no one dares to say first.

Even if Windows 7 appears in later generations, there is still a big gap with Vista in terms of beautiful graphics.

It can even be said that later Windows 7 imitated the style of Vista in the graphical interface.

The release of this user interface has once again pushed the popularity of Microsoft's latest operating system to new heights.

"Huanyu System probably won't have much use in the future."

"Well, Microsoft's strength is really too strong. Even before the latest operating system is released, its popularity has completely exploded in Huanyu System."

"To be honest, how many people know about Huanyu System now?"

"Indeed. I don't know how long Huanyu Technology can maintain the market share of Huanyu System through the game ecosystem."

obviously.

As soon as Vista came out, the Huanyu system of Huanyu Technology suffered the biggest crisis.

Although Huanyu System has successfully launched Huanyu System through games, Internet cafes, all-in-one machines... and other ecosystems.

But it's not solid.

Who can guarantee that Huanyu Technology’s games will remain popular?

Once a user is no longer interested in Huanyu Technology's games, what's the reason for using the Huanyu system?

This situation also affected Li Kaifu.

These days, Li Kaifu and the entire Huanyu system team spend every day in meetings.

It's just that despite several meetings, the entire team seems to have no solution for Microsoft's latest operating system.

"Mr. Chen, I think we should increase our efforts to promote Huanyu System."

In the office, Li Kaifu found Chen Yu again.

"Uh, Kaifu, why did you suddenly mention this?"

"Microsoft's latest operating system has a huge impact, which puts a lot of pressure on our Universal system."

"But based on the current situation, even if we increase our publicity efforts, do you think some consumers will be interested in our Huanyu system?"

"this……"

When Chen Yu said this, Li Kaifu was also a little embarrassed.

Everyone uses the Huanyu system not because of how awesome the Huanyu system is, but because many game users are forced to do so.

Chen Yu understood Li Kaifu's current mood.

As the person in charge of the operating system, Li Kaifu bears the greatest pressure.

"Pay now, don't rush."

"Isn't it just Microsoft's latest operating system? That's nothing."

"I don't think the same as you do. Why don't you just listen to me?"

Chen Yu was very calm and not worried at all about the release of Vista.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Yu poured himself a glass of water, and then took a few leisurely steps in the office with the water glass: "Kaifu, Microsoft is indeed very strong, but their Vista has not been released yet, why are we so worried? ?”

"But……"

"But what, say one thousand to ten thousand, we have to worry about it after their operating system comes out. Moreover, our market is not much to begin with. Their latest operating system will be launched as soon as it is launched. The worst is that we have to start all over again. "

"That being said, it would be a pity if we lost a little bit of the market that we managed to open up."

"Don't worry, our Huanyu system can't capture much of Microsoft's market for the time being, but it's not too difficult to hold on to the current share. After all, the series of games we have developed are not vegetarian."

"That's what Mr. Chen said."

After being comforted by Chen Yu, Li Kaifu felt better.

However, Chen Yu did not finish speaking and continued: "Kaipay, I think we need to take a longer view. Don't always think about how good Microsoft is, but also think about the bad side of Microsoft."

"The bad side?"

"Yes."

Chen Yu nodded: "For example, if no one uses Microsoft's Vista when it is launched, wouldn't it be great fun?"

"No one uses it?"

"How can it be?"

Li Kaifu couldn't catch up with Chen Yu's unbridled ideas.

But after all, what Chen Yu said was right.

Vista hasn't been launched yet, so it's useless no matter how nervous you are.

It's better to wait until vista is launched before making plans.

after a while.

Microsoft continues to reveal a series of news about Vista from time to time.

For example, the shutdown effects of the new Vista system.

Brand new search interface.

New media creation tools

Redesigned network, audio, output, and printing systems.

In the integrated environment, Microsoft also revealed that they have launched a new .framework3.0 specifically for developers.

After this series reached its climax, Microsoft officially launched a vista press conference in North America.

"hI, hello everyone, my name is Bill, yes, I am the same Bill. I am very happy to see you all here, because tonight, we will share the most wonderful moments with everyone in the world. I believe everyone knows that we Vista is about to be released. Before this, we have disclosed a lot of information about Vista to the outside world, but those are very fragmented and not holistic. Today, we will witness with you our latest operations System, vista.”

Bill, who has never managed Microsoft much, appeared at the press conference in person.

For such an important product, even Bill, who has been semi-retired, attaches great importance to it at this time.

"As for our Vista, I think we should turn it on first. Many people may ask me why I don't introduce the product first, how to turn it on directly. This is very simple, because we once released a graphic of Vista at that time User interface. This interface is so beautiful that many people think it’s not real. Some people even think, have we photoshopped it?”

"So today, we will confirm to everyone whether we at Microsoft have PS."

Following Bill's order, a new startup bell sounded.

On the big screen, a user interface that was familiar to the public appeared.

"aurora."

"Oh, God."

"It's so beautiful, my God, this is even more beautiful than the pictures exposed on the Internet."

vista did not disappoint.

Just by showing the startup interface, he instantly captured a crowd of computer enthusiasts.

"Yes, this is our vista user interface. This time, we don't have PS."

Bill responded jokingly, and the audience burst into applause.

"Thank you, thank you all. However, our Vista user interface is not just that. While it is gorgeous, we have also made a more detailed design in a series of details. For example, have you seen this? In the window On this side of the bar, I don’t know if you have noticed it, but our window bar uses a gradient display effect.”

At this time, the window bar that Bill dragged was displayed on the big screen.

Same as Bill introduced.

really.

The new Vista window bar is no longer a single color, but a gradient color from light to dark.

The changes brought about by this gradual change not only create a more advanced atmosphere for the entire operating system, but also because it is a gradual change, it happens slowly, which also makes the user not think anything at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, You will be conquered by this gradient tone.

"Of course, in addition to the gradient, we also have unique animation effects when opening and closing windows. Look carefully, but we don't want such animation effects to affect everyone's operations, so our animation The effect is very subtle. But if you look carefully, you can still see it.”

Bill's operations were constantly displayed on the big screen.

The animation ghost after the window is closed and opened keeps appearing.

This animation effect is exactly what Bill said.
