Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1379 – Let’s see who will be finished first

Bill Gates is unhappy with Feng Yu’s attitude.

Damn. If you are unwilling to negotiate, why are you here to meet me? You should know why I wanted to meet you. Are you here to tease me?

“Feng, doing business is not a solo activity. You must have a partner, and a good partner can help you save time and improve your business.”

Feng Yu looks at Bill Gates. Are you hinting that you are that ‘Good partner?’

“Bill, none of my business is owned entirely by me, and I always have partners. I believe Paul also knows my biggest business partner.”

Paul Allen immediately knows who Feng Yu is referring to. It must be that damn Russian drunkard!

“Feng, we are doing business is because of profits, and no one should reject any opportunity to make more money. We are not and should not be enemies. Maybe your company had grown these few years rapidly, but your foundations are not stable. You don’t know how powerful those large consortiums are. You might be the World’s Richest Man, but how much wealth can you control?”

“I shall not mention Rockefeller or Morgan’s family. Just Warren Buffett can make a huge influence. Hong Kong’s Superman Li also has a strong influence globally. You are nothing compared to them.”

“You are also investing heavily in the IT industry and entered PC hardware, software, internet, telecommunication, etc. businesses. Don’t you know this will offend many people?”

“Microsoft is so powerful, but why didn’t we manufacture our PCs or invest in this industry? That’s because there are only two outcomes. If you succeed, you will be sued for monopolizing the market, and your company will be forced to break up. Secondly, you will be attacked by everyone in the industry, and your company will be destroyed.

Bill Gates sounds like he is giving Feng Yu bits of advice, but it is a threat. That’s right. Feng Yu had invested too heavily into the IT-related industries.

But these companies will attract lots of problems if they are owned by Feng Yu alone. No company can go against the whole industry, especially so many MNCs.

Feng Yu looked at Bill Gates and asked. “Do you think I will fail? Do you think you can suppress me by working with Intel? No one can acquire my company by force. Microsoft is not bad, but you all are not the industry leader. Maybe in the near future, your main profit from the PC operating system will be affected.”

Bill Gates looks at Feng Yu sharply. What does this mean? Is Lenovo Kingsoft still developing their PC operating system?

They had been developing smartphone operating systems, Office software, application software, electrical and robotic AI systems, etc... How can they still have the resources to develop a PC operating system?

This must be a bluff.

Bill Gates knows the difficulties of developing an operating system. He is an expert in this field and Microsoft’s top software engineer!

Microsoft had invested a lot of money to hire sufficient enough manpower to develop their operating system. Lenovo Kingsoft might have done well in Asia and Eastern Europe. Still, the income from those markets cannot be compared to Microsoft. Just look at their retail software prices, and you will know the difference.

A Windows operating system is selling at 199 USD, and only 20 USD in China. The Office software price difference between Microsoft and Lenovo Kingsoft’s WPS is more than ten times.

Microsoft can easily make more than 10 billion USD of profits in a year, but what about Lenovo Kingsoft? Even if Microsoft invested 10% of its profits into R&D, it is also around 1 billion USD. But how much can Lenovo Kingsoft make in a year?

Microsoft has the best software engineers in the world, and Lenovo Kingsoft is no match for them! No one in the world is Microsoft’s match!

Bill Gates is a proud person, and these people tend to think highly of themselves in certain areas. To him, only IBM is Microsoft’s worthy rival, and he thinks nothing of Lenovo Kingsoft!

Feng Yu must be bluffing. Which company in this world dares to claim they are stronger than Microsoft in developing PC operating systems?

Paul Allen could not hold back and said sarcastically. “Feng, did you get overconfident after becoming the World’s Richest Man? You can become the World’s Richest Man is because you own the most shares in your companies. That does not mean your companies are strong. Both your companies’ value is not even a third of Microsoft! Do you think you all can develop your PC operating system?”

Microsoft’s market value had started to recover, and it is nearing 40 billion USD. Wind and Rain Holding and Tai Hua Holding’s market value is only around 10 billion USD.

Feng Yu might be rich, but the combined wealth of Bill Gates and Paul Allen will be higher than him. The World’s Richest Man is only a title! How dare he become so arrogant?!

Bill Gates didn’t think much of Feng Yu’s two companies. He only felt Feng Yu’s companies have high potential and want to cooperate with him.

Since Feng Yu is unwilling to cooperate and is acting arrogantly, he must teach him a lesson! He will make him understand how powerful a large corporation is!

Currently, Microsoft’s market value is one of the highest in the World and the top IT industry!

“Are you looking down on me or us, the Chinese? I had wanted to speak to you all nicely but forget it. You had pissed me off. Bill, I feel sorry for you and Microsoft to have a partner like this.”

Feng Yu stood up and shook his head. He straightened his clothes and was about to leave.

“Feng, are you sure you want to compete with Microsoft?” Bill Gate asked.

Feng Yu stopped and replied without turning. “From tomorrow onwards, Microsoft’s Office software will be stuck on the shelves in China. No one in China will be buying your software unless you lower the retail price by 50%. Also, no one will be interested in your Microsoft’s smartphone system in a few years because Symbian might be willing to join my HOS system.”

“Oh, if you all regret saying those things, come and apologize to me. I might forgive you all. If not, let’s see which one of us has more money to burn. Let’s see if Microsoft can last before I become bankrupt!”
