When I am reborn in Hong Kong, I just want to lie down

Just when Wall Street was in full swing searching for treasures in the entrepreneurial park, S-PC was sued by WindowSoft Software Company regarding an antitrust investigation.

They cited many antitrust examples, such as low-price dumping, and cited a series of evidence, such as the same type of accessories being cheaper than other manufacturers, and more third-party software bundled with the system, most of which are free. of.There is a suspicion of bundled sales.

Jennifer didn't care about this matter, and the company's powerful legal team was there to resolve it.

However, the media's reaction has been relatively strong, because over the years, companies that have been sued for antitrust lawsuits will basically settle privately, and then the party being sued will pay a large fine.

But, can this be tolerated?Definitely intolerable.

Before they could initiate a hearing, a similar product from Daiying began to appear in North America, and this product was better and cheaper.

This product was launched at about the same time as S-PC001, which embarrassed WindowSoft Software. Just when they wanted to reconcile, S-PC's parent company launched an antitrust investigation.

Li Bu felt that this operation was very familiar. People from the Ministry of Commerce also accepted the antitrust investigation from S-PC. S-PC cited the monopoly position of Windows Software Company in the market. For example, in North America, nearly 80% of Computers are equipped with window systems. In this time and space, window systems are not as popular as in the original time and space. Part of the market is divided up by third-party software, such as fruit companies, such as S-PC computers. Of course, they also sell computers with window systems installed.

Just when the two companies were fighting each other, the IT camp was also divided into two factions, one supported the window, and the other supported the S-PC. Both sides began to expose each other's shortcomings and attack the dominance of the other party's system over users. wait.

At this time, V-PC from Daiying began to occupy the market. This is a simpler PC, costing 500 US dollars, and the wholesale price is [-] US dollars. It quickly seized the market, and the window system hurt each other this time. In the process, it lost a lot of market share for no other reason than S-PC is easier to use. Most ordinary North American citizens don't like things that are too complicated, and S-PC brings a simpler operation method.

North Americans, are their cultural levels high?The level of education in universities is definitely higher than that in many countries, but high level does not mean that they like complicated things.

Especially for older people, they can open the S-PC and display the software in Jiugong format with just one click, and the third-party software here should be very simple.

After V-PC started to go on the market, there were very few softwares in it. There were only a few major categories. There were no more than three software in each category, and most of them were paid software.

In the conference room of the Window System Company, there were two machines in front of them, one was an S-PC and the other was a V-PC, and they were both disassembled.

They discovered one thing. The two things are the same illusion. The difference is that one is an ARM chip and the other is an MC chip. One is a simplified instruction set and the other is a complex instruction set.

With ARM chips, the system cannot be upgraded, but things are cheaper, while MC chips are similar to INT chips, but they are very targeted, while INT chips are more comprehensive and more complex.

"I can't believe that these two things are so similar and have exactly the same concept."

"The only difference is that they all have independent patents and are unrelated to each other."

“Can these hardware be used to install our window system?”

"The hardware of the MC chip can run the window system perfectly, and the installation is very simple."

"Everyone, we are now facing a very big choice. Our system is being caught up by others and is about to surpass us. This month, our shipments have dropped by nearly [-]%. This is a dangerous signal. I am not convinced by the fruit. The company was defeated, but was defeated by other forms of equipment. If we don’t make progress, we don’t innovate, we are likely to face a performance test in the near future.”

The window boss spoke, naturally hoping that these people would find a way to break the situation.

A man stood up and said, "Mr. President, I think our system is too complicated. We can make my system simpler."

"Do you have any idea?"

"We can also slim down our system and make it simpler. In this way, the system will be slimmed down. After slimming down, we can compile the system to make it more in line with our needs."

"That's great. You will be responsible for this project. From today on, you will be the person in charge of streamlining the system and become one of the vice presidents."

Hearing the words of the window boss, he almost became happy. This was the conclusion he came to after studying S-PC for a while. He finally used it today, and his position was promoted several levels at once. It can be said that he reached the sky in one step. , but he also knew that if he messed up, he might be kicked out of the company and affect his career.

In the market, competition between S and V is inevitable. They are fighting each other, and the trend is becoming more and more intense.

"Your thing is too expensive and complicated, like a computer."

"Your equipment is too crude, which deprives people of a lot of fun."

"We're cheap and fast."

……

Just as they were quarreling, other companies gave up investing in this project. It was unnecessary and they had lost their entry to the market.

This market segment is occupied by S-PC and V-PC and has become an absolute advantage.

Window Systems Company agreed to the settlement terms proposed by S-PC Company. In addition to compensation, it also obtained several patent projects from the other party.

The S-PC side became the final winner of this confrontation, but it could not gain everything. It just reconciled and no longer fought, but it did not mean that it was pleasing to the other side.

"Although we cannot kill the window system, we have taken a big step and we can bully it in the future." This is what the Queen of Technology said in an internal meeting after the reconciliation.

She gave an order to the people in the laboratory. She took out a drawing and said: "This is a patented product. This product will change a lot of Taosu. You think of a way to do it according to the paper. "

"This will be our company's next profit goal. If you complete the development, you will receive a large bonus."

Seeing some sparse applause below, she said intermittently: "There are still holidays. The beaches and beauties of Hawaii are waving to you."
