Coquettish Rebirth

However, although investors in the market have slowly stopped speculating about Holmes' motives, others have not.For example, a guy named Bill Gates.That's right, the boss of Microsoft, after returning from vacation, was shocked to hear the "old news", and then directly called Jia Hongjian to inquire about it. "Hey, Hung-chien, I'm Bill. I heard that your company has acquired several anti-virus software companies? Why, do you want to enter the anti-virus software industry?" Bill Gates asked on the phone.

Bill sounded like he was smiling and concerned, like he was just asking casually as a friend.But Jia Hongjian didn't think that Bill Gates was really a caring friend-don't forget, when in 03 in history, Microsoft started to enter the field of anti-virus software!It's just that it has been unsuccessful since then, and it took several revisions to get an mse!According to the introduction Jia Hongjian read in his previous life, when XP was developed, Microsoft already had its own firewall.And when 98 and winme still have 2000, it seems that there is no firewall!So it can be seen from the built-in firewall after the release of xp that Microsoft has ideas about anti-virus software!

Although the anti-virus software market may not be large, for Microsoft, anti-virus software is just a kind of beneficial insect that parasitizes on the Windows system. It is to clean up the computer virus.But if one day Microsoft decides to allow Windows to remove parasites by itself, do the so-called small insects still need to exist?

Judging from the actions of later generations.This Microsoft developed anti-virus software all the way, and in the end it did launch a free anti-virus software mse.From this perspective, this antivirus software should be a layout of Microsoft!It's like the Venus system failed in history, but Venus is an attempt by Microsoft, an attempt by Microsoft to rule the living room in China, and an attempt to expand Windows sales.After the Venus system failed in history, Microsoft turned a blind eye to the pirated system in the Chinese market and allowed the market to grow slowly, allowing everyone to get used to using windows, and then on the other hand, They are slowly developing the xbox game console.Then I want to occupy the living room like Sony!

Coupled with the rumors that Microsoft may buy Nokia in later generations.Apparently, Microsoft is going to invade and control everything from the living room to the computer to the mobile phone and even the tablet!Such a company, such a Bill Gates, asked Jia Hongjian today if he wanted to make anti-virus software, did he really just care and ask?At least Jia Hongjian didn't think so.so what.Even the relationship with Bill Gates was pretty good before.But Jia Hongjian was not ready to tell the truth to Bill Gates at this time!

"Antivirus software? Why do I enter that market? How much money can I make in that market? How do you sell it in the market now? Antivirus software costs $50. Then you can enjoy the upgrade service for many years? After three or four years, a new version will be released. Buy a new one? Dude, this thing really doesn’t make money, even if there are many users. Why do I make money from this? Didn’t I say hello to you Microsoft before, saying that I want to make a virtual desktop and then make some online Stores are here to grab Apple's business, and by the way, increase the loyalty of your products..." Jia Hongjian said with a smile.

"Oh, that's right. Indeed, the charging model of those anti-virus software really doesn't catch your eyes, hahahaha..." Bill Gates laughed.Since Jia Hongjian said that he had no idea here, Bill Gates would naturally not take the initiative to talk about how good the antivirus market is. Computers, how big is this market?Looking back, China is developing, and the global mess adds up to a market of almost 10 billion people!At that time, what if the anti-virus software was charged annually?Like $50 a year?This accounts for 50% of the market, which is 250 billion US dollars a year!This market is definitely big enough!But Bill Gates wouldn't tell Jia Hongjian about this kind of thing!Although we are friends, friends can't give up the opportunity to make money to others!

"By the way, Hung-chien, just now you said that your software can increase the loyalty of our Windows? Hey... This seems interesting. We are working on a new system called XP, and the retail version will be released in October next year. , How about you cooperating with our products to come up with it at that time? In this way, our xp will surely gain the upper hand and let our common enemy Jobs go to hell!" Bill Gates stopped by and began to win over Jia Hongjian. It's out!

That's right, one of the important reasons why Bill Gates helped Jia Hongjian was because Jobs was back!After Jobs returned to Apple in 97, Bill Gates must have felt a little bit drummed!After all, Jobs is no one else!But with the establishment of Sherlock Holmes and the music pods developed by Jia Hongjian and the others, everything made Bill Gates think that Jia Hongjian is a new generation of Jobs!However, this new generation of Jobs is not the same as the old generation. They don't have the old generation's idea of ​​making computers, let alone the idea of ​​making their own operating system!So in this way, Microsoft can cooperate with Jia Hongjian in various ways!As long as there is no conflict and competition in the desktop system, then Bill Gates and Jia Hongjian are good friends!

Not to mention, after Jia Hongjian developed in the United States, he couldn't deal with Jobs for some reason. Later, he saw the scene of Jia Hongjian confronting Jobs. Bill Gates was so happy!Otherwise, how could he help Jia Hongjian to threaten Apple?He just wanted Jia Hongjian to be his helper to suppress Apple's development!After that, Jia Hongjian and Olsen adopted the Windows system on the ams machines, which satisfied Bill Gates.And after Jia Hongjian and Apple's imac-g3's Mars hit the earth, the replacement of four made Bill Gates smile!However, imac-g3 slowly came to the fore thanks to their online software store.Now according to his understanding of Bill Gates, a total of more than 100 million units have been sold in two years.As for the Jota all-in-one machine, although the sales were very poor at the beginning, only tens of thousands of units were sold in a few months, but as time went by, as the price of the old Jota all-in-one machine began to become cheaper, as The high-end image of Jota all-in-one computer is becoming more and more known, and this brand new computer brand is actually selling more and more.Two years later, the two models have sold a total of more than 40 sets and nearly 50 sets!

What will happen if the Yota all-in-one machine is equipped with the XP system and joined the online software store?Apple's online software store had nothing at all at the beginning. Basically, after a year of being online, they slowly had some practical things to sell. After this year, their sales have actually increased by several Tens of millions of dollars.Although not many, but this is a good start after all!So Bill Gates also moved to kill at this time! "Hung-chien, why don't you just build that online sales system quickly, um, make a civilian version, a deluxe version for your Yota all-in-one machine, and talk to our manufacturer about the civilian version, how about it? We at Microsoft let When they pre-install winxp, they also pre-install your online store directly..."

Whoa!This Bill Gates is really a good buddy!Although he and Jia Hongjian are big foxes and little foxes, but they can cooperate with each other and make everyone win-win, then they are good brothers!So at that time, Jia Hongjian really wanted to get into the phone and move to Bill Gates to hug this old buddy and kiss him!That's right!If this online store can be pre-installed, how many potential users of the app store will be expanded if it is sold?He, Jia Hongjian, can create an online software sales platform similar to Steam in an instant!

At that time, consumers only need to click on the icon in the lower right corner, and they can directly buy various software in the mall, and then Jia Hongjian and the others will offer promotions and discounts every now and then. Is this price definitely cheaper than buying physical CDs?After all, before Jia Hongjian was reborn in history, the Steam online game purchase system accounted for almost 50% of the game market share!He, Jia Hongjian, is now slowly cultivating users, is it possible?

"Okay!" Jia Hongjian agreed.But just after agreeing, he suddenly realized something, hey, originally his app store was going to be released together with the virtual desktop, if we say that we release it first, and all machines can be used, then we will go to antivirus later. Can Microsoft agree to the software route?What if someone else cuts off our oem pre-installation?After thinking about this for a while, Jia Hongjian quickly decided to leave Microsoft alone!Anyway, he, Jia Hongjian, will definitely turn his back on Microsoft within 10 years!It is impossible to say that we maintain a good relationship for two or three years, and then gradually fade away?There will definitely continue to be things that everyone perceives differently, and then there will be small conflicts! As for the matter of <, it is estimated that Microsoft will not threaten other brand machine manufacturers not to pre-install Jia Hongjian's software!At that time, let's talk to the manufacturers one by one!Even if the manufacturer is not happy, but consumers have already used it by then, and it has already gained popularity. Are we afraid that Microsoft will not help promote it?Yes or no?People's steam platform is doing well without Microsoft's promotion, but Jia Hongjian's software has become a bit famous, so I'm afraid that Microsoft won't help?At that time, we will be in a great situation!
