Chapter 775 Antitrust Investigation

The meeting room of the board meeting was right in front of him. Robbie walked in with a dark face. He walked out half an hour later. The speed was so fast that Kevin didn't know what was going on and was nervous...

"We're lucky..." Robbie said only this, his steps were a little staggering. He was heavy before entering, and floating when he walked out. He could not forget the look of Bill Gates looking at him. That

His eyes actually made him feel... want to cry.

"We're fine? You mean, they won't hold us accountable?" Kevin followed Robbie, and the two walked to the elevator. Robbie stood up with the wall and gasped.

After returning to the game department, Robbie told Kevin about the situation in the conference room.

Microsoft's success was not smooth sailing. They encountered too many setbacks and solved countless problems. In fact, Bill Gates was prepared for the losses and poor management of X-wave X, and the senior management of the board of directors did not put too much pressure on him.

"When we made 10,000 x-wave x products in November, Mr. Gates already had his bottom line in his heart. Selling 300,000 x-wave x in a month was the lowest number he could tolerate. Fortunately, we were the first one.

The monthly sales are 430,000 units. Although we may face a wave of returns, according to industry practice, it should be around 25%, which is acceptable, and we have a later move."

"call……"

Kevin breathed a long sigh and finally let go of his heart. The president is best to be self-aware. Their marketing department is really powerless. It’s not that they are not strong, but that the Chinese are too cunning!

"The last move is that in order to solve the current adverse situation, we need to gather all members of the Microsoft Game Battle Platform Alliance as soon as possible and come up with a subsidy plan. Encourage excellent PC games to transplant them to X-wave X-platform, and use PC games and

x-wave x-games open up to a limited extent.”

Robbie finished talking about this plan. He remembered Bill Gates's eyes again. The look was very strange, with perseverance, courage, unyielding, sacrifice, helplessness, and a hint of pleading, as if he had given Microsoft's future to Robbie.

Likewise, he was so moved that he wanted to cry after receiving solemn entrustment and Bill Gates' support for him.

The game department is very important to Microsoft. There is no x-wave x, and no Microsoft game battle platform. Although it will not completely destroy Microsoft, it can seriously damage Microsoft's vitality, just like an arm and a leg being cut off.

So Bill Gates convinced the board that they were willing to pay a high price to conquer the gaming industry.

If there are not enough excellent games, then spend money. There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Microsoft invests billions of dollars as subsidies, are they afraid that no one will do anything?

Without time, if you don’t have time, you will be two years. If you don’t have time, you will be five years. Longteng only has ten years of game development time than Microsoft. Microsoft is not afraid of fighting a long-term battle.

There are not enough users. Then find a way to attract users to bundle users, hotmail registration.msn instant messaging bundled, windows operating system comes with installation... However, this trick should be carefully considered. If windows operating system comes with its own gaming platform,

There is a possibility of an antitrust investigation because they are undergoing an antitrust investigation case, and the mediaplayer, msn, they are bundled in the operating system, is being accused by the EU.

No matter what, Microsoft will not give up easily.

...

February 1, this day is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and it is also the legal holiday stipulated by the National Holiday Office. Overtime work will be paid three times the salary. Longteng Entertainment Games Company is no exception. Each telephone waiter on duty,

Online game server administrator, official website maintenance technician, all positions that cannot be removed from their posts are on duty, and they are willing to work with three times the national legal salary, plus twice the salary of Longteng's own internal subsidy.

With one exception, Yang Yun has no salary to work overtime. At the same time, he has no human rights in Longteng Company, no stable weekends, no attendance records, no various guarantees for five insurances and one fund, and even no bonuses and benefits.

The portion.

This Spring Festival, the company group traveled in Pattaya, Thailand. There were more than 800 employees and families to visit. Group weddings are also indispensable. In addition, there are rich activities such as celebrity meetings and crew experiences, but these

It has nothing to do with Yang Yun.

First, the child is a little too young for long-distance travel, and second, Yang Yun has to wait for a chance to meet Zhu Shuguang, so he cannot leave at will.

Zhu Shuguang is already a senior official at the level of deputy general manager. According to the analysis of the Associated Press and Taiwan News Agency, he may become the highest official position after one or two terms.

Of course, these are all speculations. He dare not talk nonsense before it becomes true. Even if the analysis accuracy of foreign media has been surprisingly high in previous sessions, no one in China dares to think so.

I met Zhu Shuguang at 8 pm on the fourth day of the first lunar month. At his house, Mrs. Zhu and her daughter, son-in-law and grandson were both there, which made Yang Yun feel very comfortable. Zhu Shuguang did not treat him as an outsider.

After dinner, they entered the study room, and this time they turned into two people facing each other. Yang Yun skillfully boiled water, made tea, and served the old man to sit down. The service was very thoughtful.

"Not bad, the tea made by billionaires is still so delicious!" Zhu Shuguang joked.

Yang Yun quickly bowed: "I dare not, it's mainly because your tea is good. I didn't do anything, I did nothing!"

"But you are the driving force behind the scenes. Without your command and your own hands, no matter how good the tea is, it will not smell like this. If you change someone, it would be a different feeling."

Yang Yun smiled: "You are so serious!"

Back to the topic, Zhu Shuguang said: "I saw the platform plan you made. It's very good. China lacks entrepreneurs like you who have a big picture, big moves, big scenes and big courage."

"But entrepreneurs with four major advantages are now facing difficulties. You won't be afraid to save them, right?" Yang Yun smiled and added water to Zhu Shuguang.

"Hmm? You still have problems that you can't solve?"

"Look at what you said, I'm not invincible. This involves the commonly used antitrust laws in the international community."

Then Yang Yun expressed his concerns that Microsoft was investigated by international organizations in antitrust investigations since 1997. In recent years, it has been collecting evidence. Occasionally, there are small accusations, basically some small country, or

Small organizations file lawsuits with the International Court of Justice, targeting a small market and region. Microsoft usually pays fines, throwing out tens of millions of euros is considered as a safe buy.

Microsoft's antitrust investigations are very research-worthy cases in the fields of economic and legal fields. Many experts, scholars and industry authorities in the Chinese academic circle have publicly expressed different views, which is very controversial.

Longteng Entertainment Games Company has not received similar complaints, but since the moment Sony Games was abandoned, there have been many rumors in society. After newsonic was established, the voices of questioning Longteng were less likely to be questioned.

Newsonic and KTT are all Yang Yun's own industries. In addition to the two or three most core executives of the company, Zhu Shuguang is also aware of this. He expressed his understanding of Yang Yun's approach.

"Are you worried about following the old path of Microsoft?"

"Yes! In a sense, Longteng is actually Microsoft in the game industry."

The two were silent. Yang Yun was talking about the facts. When he occupied a huge share of the game market, he would be the next Microsoft, and would become a company that people love and hate, become the target of public criticism, and be held by other interest groups.

Magnifying glass looks for his mistakes.

"What kind of help do you want?"

"I hope the country can set up a joint venture to integrate some small, but rich in experience and strong domestic game production companies, and become a listed company in the game industry, and it is best to be listed in the United States or Hong Kong."

"Contend with you?"

"Yes, to become Longteng's biggest competitor, as long as I can't monopolize the market, my safety factor will be higher."

"Aren't you afraid of raising a tiger?"

"Don't be afraid, because the most core thing is in my hands. High-quality games are the biggest weapon to resolve the battle. I also hope to get an offshore company to join, participate in the form of buying stocks, and have a board seat.

This way I will feel more at ease."

"There is a good idea. The country blocks shells for you, and you are making money silently behind your back."

"Boss Zhu, at least I have made ten years of contribution to the country. Now, I should get rewards, right? If you don't bring such a person, if you want a horse to run, you have to give it to the horse..."

After a while, Yang Yun finally explained his ideas clearly. He drank a cup of tea to relieve his thirst. He handed over the plan in his hand and placed it in front of Zhu Shuguang.

This is his plan recently, which is to prevent Microsoft's rogue bundling tactics. They don't know how many software development companies have been squeezed to death with this move. For example, the operating system forced the office series, and it will not take long to use it.

Kingsoft WPS is so crowded that it cannot survive. For example, ie browser has snatched the market for scape browsers, and there are so many such incidents.

Monopoly generally refers to occupying more than 90% of a certain market share, and the technology is not open source, Apple's safa daily kernel is open source, and Apple's machines have Android confrontations, although this service is forcibly bundled on its own machine.

, but this is a joint sale of hardware and services, which is essentially different from Microsoft's monopoly.

Control almost all the market, and then personally compete with its partners, using targeting, cracking down, squeezing and other means to infringe on the interests of other partners. Whoever dares to do this will be subject to antitrust investigation.

Microsoft is like this, the DC platform is the same, and the Longteng game battle platform is no exception.

Longteng is both a platform vendor and a game provider, and it is very easy to become a thorn in the eyes of those who are interested. Yang Yun must find a solution! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
