Rebirth: From Computer System to World Richest

Chapter 65: Microsoft Cuts Prices Across The Board! $120 Billion In Cash Reserves!

Starting from the issuance of the ban on the 3rd, Microsoft's backend found that the number of installed users of the win system was declining rapidly!

This means the user completely uninstalled the system!

Regardless of whether it is a genuine or pirated system, as long as the user is connected to the Internet, Microsoft can record it through the backdoor left behind!

Generally speaking, even if a user has installed dual systems, as long as the win system is not uninstalled, Microsoft's backend statistics will still include them in the number of users.

In 2018, Microsoft revised its original public data and announced that it had 1.5 billion users worldwide! After two years, the latest user data has reached 1.6 billion!

The system versions used by these users are not the same, from XP, which has been abandoned by Microsoft, to 7th generation, 8th generation, and now 10th generation systems, all are included.

There are even some outdated computers running the win98 version of the system!

"Since Beichen Technology released the operating system, in three months, the number of win system users has dropped by 250 million! These are all users taken away by Beichen System!"

Ethan felt very headache after taking the report provided by the technical department.

A total of 250 million units! It’s already equivalent to 15% of Microsoft’s user base!

What made him even more depressed was that starting from the 3rd, in just one week, the installed capacity of the win system plummeted again - 50 million units!

This has far exceeded previous data!

"Of the 1.6 billion users, overseas users account for 850 million, and Dragon Kingdom has a full 750 million users! Among them, there are 500 million genuine users and 250 million pirated users.

This data is Microsoft’s top secret!

Among the 1.6 billion Win system users, Longguo actually accounts for 47%! If you include computers running Linux systems, Android Desktop systems, and Fruit Computer systems, Longguo has even more computer users!

This is why the United States is very afraid of the rise of the Dragon Kingdom!

In terms of computers, Longguo has begun to quickly catch up and even overtake it!

"Of the 250 million users currently lost, 50 million are overseas users and 200 million are genuine users of Dragon Kingdom."

"If this rate continues, it will only take up to 2 months before all remaining legitimate users will be lost. By then, Microsoft will have lost two-thirds of the Dragon Kingdom market!"

From the analysis of the think tank, it is expected that all the 500 million Longguo genuine system users will be lost to Beichen Technology. As for the pirated users, the think tank believes that the loss is unlikely.

"The founder of the company once said: People in the Dragon Kingdom are greedy thieves and like to take advantage of small things! When the win system first entered the Dragon Kingdom, they were forced to use pirated systems to seize the market!"

"Later, after the win system gained a monopoly, the company started to launch the genuine plan, forcing all computer dealers to pre-install the genuine system, and blue screened the pirated systems.

Black screen and downtime have only increased the proportion of genuine paying users of Longguo!"

"But even so, there are still 250 million pirate users in Dragon Kingdom!"

The person in charge of the think tank talks eloquently and is full of strong confidence in his analysis.

"Boss, even if all the 500 million genuine users are poached by Beichen Technology, we will not lose the Dragon Kingdom market! Because the remaining 250 million users will never spend money to buy genuine systems, even if Beichen Technology's system only costs 299 Dragons Yuan!"

"I learned a word in the Dragon Kingdom called Bai Piao.

"The people of Longguo love to take advantage of others, which means that pirate users will always exist. As long as these users exist, we still have hope of counterattacking Beichen Technology!"

After careful consideration, Ethan expressed his approval of the think tank's analysis.

"Jack, what you said makes sense. These users that are being lost now are all genuine. This is driven by their so-called "patriotic sentiment". We have no way to stop it."

"As for the cause, it is naturally caused by the company's strategy and has nothing to do with us."

This supervisor sent from the American headquarters has some research on the Dragon Kingdom, and at least he has learned Chinese. For him, he actually looks down on the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

"The people of the Dragon Kingdom are like a swarm of greedy bees. Wherever they go, they will seize resources, causing other people to lose their jobs and reducing the high profits of the original products!"

"They're just so annoying!"

"However, even if Beichen Technology wants to steal users, we must try to retain them. I have already discussed with the headquarters and are preparing to conduct a large-scale limited-time price reduction in Longguo to see if we can retain some genuine users!"

"How much is the price reduction?"

"Directly reduced to 25% of the original price! Our prices in all aspects must be based on the prices of Beichen Technology's products! They are low, and we are also low! This time the headquarters has made plans to reduce quarterly profits and is preparing to cooperate with Beichen Technology Let’s have a price war!”

"This price reduction is limited to Dragon Kingdom and lasts for one month!"

0...Please give me flowers...

Ethan announced the decision from headquarters.

As a result, Microsoft's Longguo headquarters announced the price reduction on the same day!

In the stores of major computer dealers, advertisements for limited-time price reductions of the Win system have been posted. After the price reduction, the price of the Win system is dozens of dollars cheaper than the Beichen system!

Luo Yang received the news immediately.

"Microsoft Corporation announced a comprehensive price reduction within Dragon Kingdom, for a limited time of one month, with a price reduction of up to 75%!"

"It is estimated that there have been too many user losses during this period, and Microsoft is getting impatient!"

The market research department of Beichen Technology received data feedback immediately.

"Microsoft's price reduction activities are still useful. The new additions of Beichen systems have begun to slow down, and there is even a downward trend!"

On the current situation diagram of the report, you can see that the tip that was originally rising all the way suddenly flattened out, and then began to move downward, but the amplitude was very small.

"The reason why the Beichen system is able to dominate the world is, firstly, its domestic system brand, and secondly, its low price. Now Microsoft has also started a price war, and it is normal for some users to choose Microsoft."

Han Feng suggested: "Then should we also reduce prices?"

"It's not necessary for now!"

Luo Yang thought for a moment and said: "Microsoft has a big business and can afford the subsidy war. Although they say they will only cut prices for one month, as long as they are willing, they can continue it even for a year."

"Don't forget that Microsoft is currently in a situation where it is possible to withdraw from the Dragon Kingdom. Even if it is reduced to 25% off now, it is still more cost-effective than if all users are snatched away by us!"

"If we follow the price reduction, it will just go with their wishes, and the price subsidy war will only become more and more intense!"

"Our capital reserves are limited and we cannot use up Microsoft. According to reliable sources, Microsoft currently has a cash reserve of US$120 billion!"

hiss!

Everyone gasped.

$120 billion in cash reserves!

"Why, is this surprising? Let's put it this way, each of the several well-known technology giants has generous cash reserves. As the company with the highest market value currently, Fruit Company's cash reserves have exceeded US$300 billion!"

300 billion US dollars, equivalent to about 2 trillion dragon yuan!

What is this concept?

In your province in 2019, the entire province's annual GDP was only a loss of 2.1 trillion yuan!.
