In Microsoft's small meeting room, the directors sat together again to open their regular meetings. & music & text & fiction. {l}{520}. Just a chair less than last year, there is no original drink on the table that Paul Allen hates.

Since Feng Yu was released from the board of directors, Paul Allen was in a very good mood. Except for the Chinese trip, he had no appetite for a month, and he saw ants on the side of the road.

"Today's meeting, the main research is the sales of our software. It is expected that in the second quarter, our sales will have a certain growth, but the growth rate is much lower than last year, especially the office software..."

The directors looked at each other and no one spoke. Paul Allen sneered: "Steve, it seems that the most serious downturn is the Asian market? You as the president of Asia, shouldn't you say something?"

Ballmer tilted Paul Allen: "Would I like to say something? I suggested that I continue to work with Feng, or if I want to work with the company, it is your proposal to separate the office software from our operating system. Office software sales are not good, but you said it is my problem?"

Steve Ballmer sees Paul? Allen is still not pleasing to the eye. If you want to talk about software development, he is not as good as Paul Allen, but when it comes to company management, Bill Gates has to ask him. , 甩 that investment is always a loss of Paul? Allen does not know a few streets.

"You are the president of Asia, or the vice president of the company, responsible for product sales. The sales growth is seriously declining. That is your dereliction of duty. Even if I proposed to separate, then you should think of other methods, no. Think of it, it's your problem!" Paul Allen said loudly.

"Since you think that I can't sell, then you are responsible? How do I remember when you were responsible, sales have experienced negative growth?" Ballmer reluctantly retorted.

Since Feng Yu was released from the board of directors, Paul Allen seems to have no target, and finally turned to Ballmer. Ballmer is not a soft persimmon, where will Paul Allen pinch!

Moreover, Ballmer also knows that Bill Gates is supporting him.

At this time, Bill Gates also regretted the original impulse. He should wait for Microsoft to establish a sales channel in China, and then rip the face with Feng Yu.

Now suddenly, Microsoft has suffered. The Feng Yu, who really did not care about Microsoft's earnings, made him not think.

For the real reason, Ballmer also told him that he even wanted to think about the group.

Even thinking about a subsidiary of the group, called Lianxiang Yinshan Software Co., Ltd., this company is also always doing application software, the best selling of which is anti-virus software and office software.

And what makes Microsoft unprepared is that even the wp97 that Yinshan launched is perfectly compatible with their ffie software, and also supports the wi system, and the price is only one-fifth of them.

More importantly, the features are more than theirs, Chinese applications are better than them, and interface feedback is more popular than theirs.

It is this software, coupled with the support of even thinking, installed bundled sales, so that their ffie software will soon be unattended.

Who is good and cheap, who will use it expensive and not easy to use?

And even want to Yinshan software bundled with each other, such as Yinshan PowerWord, Yinshan drug tyrants and wp97 software, you can buy together, buy two get one free.

Not only Chinese people, even the people of the country, will be interested in the sales of such gifts.

Just like their Microsoft Wi system and ffie tying up, they sell very well, because it gives people a cheap feeling.

Originally Bill Gates and Paul Allen were an idea that they had already settled in China, the system sold better and better, people should have been used to using their wi system, then the same good ffie should not problem.

But they never imagined that this wp was even more useful than their ffie, and it was so much cheaper that the new software of their ffie became unattended.

Wp provides free upgrade service, and after-sales service is better, every city in China has even after-sales service points, and even most of the county towns, there are after-sales service points, a strong network, made a success in China The status of the leading boss, and makes other brands difficult to shake.

It was originally a computer, but I didn’t expect it, even the office software.

Moreover, even Yinshan has developed drawing software, supermarket systems, Internet cafe systems, corporate systems, etc., which are very popular.

These Microsoft also have development, but it is not very good to sell in the country, not to mention in China.

Is it really like Ballmer said, leaving Feng Yu, Microsoft in the Chinese market, it will fail?

Paul Allen is still arguing with Ballmer, and the other directors are silent. Anyway, there is something wrong with the place they are responsible for. Besides these two things, they are not willing to blend. Except Bill Gates, no one in Microsoft can persuade Paul Allen.

"Well, Paul, Steve, you don't want to argue. It's imperative to save our growth rate and save our market share." Bill Gates frowned.

"Since Paul thinks he is better than me, then let him come, I really want to hear, he has any high opinion. Even people who go to inspect a gbx project can go empty-handed," Ballmer laughed.

"Advertising, advertising in China, let more people know, this is our Microsoft product, it represents the boutique!" Paul Allen said.

"You said that the light weight, advertising costs from where? Asian advertising budget, there is no such a block. Besides, people even want Yinshan Software Company to do a software evaluation, our ffie has the function ~www.mtlnovel. Com~ people have, people have the function, we go, the price is much cheaper than us, there are some other offers, change you are the consumer, will you use our products?" Ballmer disdain Said.

This t is also an idea? If you have the money for advertising, it is better to lower the price of ffie, so there may be some effect.

Microsoft's brand is big, but in China, people even think that Yinshan is also quite a brand. And people's products are also sold to Eastern Europe, sales there are also good, we have no market in Eastern Europe.

Bill Gates looked at other people: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Everyone is not snoring, Ballmer said slowly: "The only way is to speed up the development of our office software, to make our products more useful than theirs, in order to be competitive, otherwise it will be a price cut, No use."

Paul Allen didn't talk. He couldn't think of it. Microsoft's products couldn't match the Chinese products. When did it start, Microsoft was behind in its strongest place?
