"Despicable, shameless, bastards, these guys, how can they use this method!" This is the roar of the new president of Microsoft. After the previous Indian president left, this one was very lucky to take over as the president of Microsoft. Position.

It is reasonable to say that it is impossible for him to become the president of Microsoft. After all, the Indian is still very young, and he could have worked for more than ten or twenty years. At that time, the new president had already passed his golden age. He will never be allowed to succeed.

That is, at this moment, this guy is lucky enough to become the president of Microsoft.

But he himself is also very clear that he did not rely entirely on his strength, and his position is not stable. If he wants to secure this position, the only way is to help Microsoft make great contributions.

However, if you want to make contributions through technological innovation, the time is too long, and Microsoft has long forgotten what technological innovation is. The only way is to help Microsoft solve some major crises.

In fact, Microsoft's various crises have almost been resolved at this time. If there is any crisis that has not been resolved, it is the problem of the Chinese market.

Therefore, the new president took aim at the acquisition of Fantasia Computer, and used all his contacts to get the officials of various countries to restrict the acquisition, and then wanted to use the exchange of benefits as a means to let Jiangnan Group come forward to solve these problems.

As a result, who would have thought that Jiangnan Group would sell all these companies directly without giving them a chance to sit down and talk.

If it’s just that, that’s fine. Although he didn’t do any meritorious service, he made Jiangnan Group very disgusted. At the same time, it caused them to lose billions of dollars and broke Huang He’s undefeated reputation. To some extent It can be regarded as a meritorious service.

But the announcement made by Fantasy Computer last year completely disrupted Microsoft's plan, and even gave Microsoft a hint of crisis in the global market.

In fact, at the beginning, although Microsoft paid attention to this announcement at the first time, they didn't take it seriously, although they realized what the purpose of Jiangnan Group was.

The purpose is very simple. It is to use the opportunity of the recall to exchange blood in the entire European and American markets, and use the method of burning money to forcibly expand the market share of Lingyun System in the global personal computer field.

You know, the Lingyun system is considered to be a big trend in China, but abroad, the Lingyun system is perfectly blocked.

The first is directly in terms of sales channels. First, through the official relationship with various countries, it has tried every means to set the import difficulty for all accessories related to five-ary personal computers, so that these accessories cannot be bought in the market at all.

The second is to issue a warning to its various distributors. Once it is discovered that anyone dares to produce and sell any products related to 5-ary computers in the non-Chinese market, they will directly stop their relevant authorization to sell Microsoft products.

Through these two methods, it will be difficult to buy Lingyun-related products in the market.

But there is one thing to say, if there is demand in the market, it is impossible to block it.

The real problem is that there is no demand in the market. Although the previous ransomware incident caused many Westerners to suffer greatly and hated the Windows system, there is an endless stream of people clamoring to change the system on the Internet.

But the problem is that when they are really asked to change the system, they themselves are reluctant.

First of all, in terms of software, although the Lingyun system already has a lot of software, the number of software is even more than that of the windows system, but in fact, many mechanical engineering software, rendering software, drawing software, etc., which are the core electronic productivity, are extremely professional. Lingyun system still does not have the software.

In addition, there are many PC games and software, and Lingyun system does not have it, which leads to a problem that unless a computer user does not have windows program dependencies, it is impossible to expect him to replace Lingyun system.

Because once it is replaced, daily work cannot continue.

As for those users who can replace it, they soon discovered that if they want to replace the system, they have to directly replace almost the entire computer hardware, which is not a small sum of money.

Combining the above two points, it is basically more difficult for the Lingyun system to be promoted in Western countries than the hell level.

But what no one expected was that the Jiangnan Group would think of using recalls to break the situation.

First of all, the recall is not what many companies are willing to do, but the government has formulated special rules and regulations to force companies to do so in order to protect the interests of consumers.

In order to allow enterprises to carry out recalls as willingly as possible, the cost of implementing recalls for enterprises will also be reduced to a large extent.

For example, when a company discovers a problem with its own product, if it voluntarily recalls it, the parts replaced to repair the product are not considered sales of the product, and there is no need to pay taxes and fees.

At the same time, when these accessories enter the customs, because they are not products directly sold in the market, not only can they be exempted from inspection, but they can also go through the fast-track customs clearance directly.

So when Fantasy Computer announced that it would recall all the computers previously sold by itself, and replace the system and related hardware for these computers, all the thresholds set by Microsoft in terms of rules before did not exist.

Because this is to repair the equipment that has been sold, the parts that must be imported are almost not subject to various restrictions, but can directly enter the customs through the fast track, and even inspection and import taxes are exempted.

Of course, you must ensure that these products are used for free maintenance to users, and must not be sold in the market, but if you think about it, computers will not do such things for a little money.

So in a short period of one month, more than 400 million Lingyun system computers needed all kinds of parts and components, all of which entered the customs smoothly without any obstacles in the middle.

But even if the parts problem is solved, are users willing to accept this recall and replace their Windows system with Lingyun system?
The answer is simple, that is not very willing.

In the first month or two, Microsoft judged that not many people would be willing to take their own computers for recall.

Not to mention the inconvenient use of the computer after changing the system, if you use express delivery in the middle, it will take at least 10 days and a half a month, and it may take a month or two.

Who can afford to lose their computer for ten days and half a month these days, so Microsoft is very confident. Even if they imagine that the computer is recalled for free, there are definitely not many users who are really willing to give away the computer.

But after Fantasy Computer released its own data, a slap in the face happened, because in the first month alone, more than 1 million Fantasy Computers in Europe were successfully recalled and returned to users at the same time.

This data itself shocked Microsoft. After all, Fantasy Computer sold more than 3000 million computers in Europe. If 320 million computers were recalled, wouldn't it mean that 1/10 of the users had Choose to replace the Lingyun system?
So Microsoft immediately launched a related investigation to investigate why so many users actually choose to replace the Lingyun system.

Ever since, after half a month of investigation, a detailed report was finally released, and when Microsoft saw this report, its expression was very interesting, it was complicated.

First of all, the core reason why users choose to recall is that it is free. After all, who doesn’t want free things, and whoever doesn’t get involved is a complete fool.

The second is that all the computers recalled by users are old computers that have been used for more than three years.

As we all know, the hardware update frequency of a computer is very fast.

In about three years, a computer with a fairly good configuration will become a computer with low configuration, and at the same time, the user experience will be greatly reduced, giving users the urge to change to another computer.

And for about 5 years, it is the greatest luck that this computer can not freeze.

If it is about 10 years, then it is the greatest luck if this computer can still be turned on. If you put it in the storage room, you think it takes up space, and it has no practical use value.

And the computers that were sent for recall this time were fantasy computers that were generally over three years old. The owners of these computers already felt that this computer could not meet their daily needs.

Many people already have the idea of ​​wanting to change a computer, and even most of them have already replaced it with a new computer. This fantasy computer has been put in the storage room to eat ashes.

So at this time, they suddenly learned that Fantasy Computer is actually recalling their products at this time, and regardless of any model, any production year, as long as the computer with the Fantasy Computer brand is hung, all of them can be recalled, and Fantasy Computer will When replacing them with the latest 5-ary chips and matching the corresponding accessories at the same time, these users were immediately overjoyed. Naturally, they immediately moved out the computer mainframe that they had hidden in the storage room, and then went to the Fantasy computer sets are sent at recall points in major cities of each country.

In order to cooperate with this recall activity, Fantasy Computer has set up recall service points in every major city in Europe. Generally speaking, it rents a large building at the edge of the city, and then hires some employees to directly replace the computer for the user.

That's right, considering that it is possible to hire employees to start the machine, and then replace the computer, the cost will be higher, so the fantasy computer is directly transferred from the domestic hosts that have been assembled, and directly replaces the summoned products.
