Extraordinary Genius

Feng Yu admits that Microsoft’s value is double of his companies combined. But Microsoft does not belong to Bill Gates alone, and Feng Yu’s companies’ assets are not a small amount. Even if it cannot be compared to Microsoft, but the gap is not that big.

If Feng Yu added Kirilenko, the Fu family, Li family, and other friends, they would exceed Microsoft.

But the Fu family and Li family can only help Feng Yu’s assets not to be acquired by those big institutions. They are not powerful enough to acquire those institutions.

Feng Yu knows Kirilenko will help him fight this war against Microsoft but is unsure about the Fu and Li families.

Business partners are also differentiated into close and distanced partners. Kirilenko is Feng Yu’s close partner.

Of course, this has something to do with Feng Yu’s help in increasing Kirilenko’s wealth. Without Feng Yu, the Fu and Li families will still be Asia’s top influential families. But without Feng Yu’s help, Kirilenko will never be Europe’s Richest Man. He might not even become Russian’s Richest Man.

“Manager Feng, are you saying that we can start selling our WPS foreign language version overseas? That’s great. I have wanted to do this for a long time ago. That Office is not as good as us, and the functions are lousy. Yet, they are still so popular despite their high price. I am confident we can gain a large part of the market share within a month.”

Microsoft had just released a new version of its Office software, and they are selling it now. But their older versions are still usable, and not many people are buying the new version.

As more people switched to the latest version and the older version is no longer compatible, people will buy it and increase sales.

This is the best time to snatch the market share from Microsoft.

Feng Yu had stopped Qiu Bojun from releasing the foreign language version overseas. He wants to negotiate with Bill Gates on how they are going to split this market. If they can conclude, they will set the barriers for other software companies.

But Feng Yu did not bring this up after seeing their attitude. Even if he brought it up during their meeting, Bill Gates would demand a larger market share based on the current situation. This will put Lenovo Kingsoft at a disadvantage.

Microsoft felt they are very big and belittled Lenovo Kingsoft. They don’t know that although Lenovo Kingsoft did not snatch Microsoft’s market share during this period, they had partnered with many software companies in other countries to develop a multi-language version.

This is not as simple as using translation software. It must consider the language’s characters, grammar, etc., and see if it will affect the program. If there are technical issues, they will not create waves on this launch.

Microsoft has high profits because its software is user-friendly. This helped them with their sales, and they can sell millions of copies for each product.

But now... a competitor has appeared.

.......

“WPS had made a breakthrough in their latest version. Compared to Microsoft’s Office, we have added new functions like... and fixed some bugs. Our Lenovo Kingsoft’s anti-virus has also added a Macro virus scanning ability. Currently, this new function only supports WPS.”

A macro virus is a powerful PC virus that can spread fast and is difficult to detect. It can cause massive damage and is hard to stop. Until Feng Yu’s rebirth, many people’s PC is still infected with this virus accidentally.

The virus might have come from someone else’s documents or email, and it will cause the PC to stop functioning. It is very annoying.

If someone’s PC got infected, it might spread to the whole company.

This virus will also have a great impact on the person’s files’ security.

Now, this virus can be detected in WPS files and will increase the user’s security. Also, the latest version has included several languages, and many overseas companies are interested.

Microsoft Office is powerful because it has become the standard of office software. WPS’s standard is different, and many people will not be used to it.

But WPS had raised its standards and increased its functions, making it more user-friendly and secure. This will become a threat to Microsoft.

Microsoft had never thought that another company would challenge the standards it set. They don’t dare to claim they have monopolized the market, but their software sales are the top in the world. All other software in other countries had to be compatible with Microsoft’s Office.

Bill Gates and the rest were disdained when WPS is compatible with Office. They felt this company is only trying to imitate their products.

Do you think selling at a lower price will make money? The profits we get from selling 100,000 copies is more than you all selling 1 million copies! Also, our brand is more famous, and you all are abiding by our standards.

The biggest advantage of setting the standard is raising the barrier to stop competitors from entering the market.

But now, Lenovo Kingsoft had raised the standards, and it is starting to affect Microsoft.

Microsoft had set the standard, but they are affected by it now.

Someone said that the Chinese create macro Viruses and first appeared on pirated software before spreading overseas. Some said it was from overseas, and it was created to steal confidential documents.

Regardless of whether you are using original or pirated software versions, Macro Virus can still affect your PC. Microsoft’s Office can only warn its user, and most anti-virus software cannot remove it.

Now, Lenovo Kingsoft’s anti-virus software can detect and delete this virus, but it is only available for WPS. This is a huge issue.

In terms of security, WPS has overtaken Office, and most people will choose WPS now. After all, WPS has better functions and is cheaper.

WPS has announced they had overtaken Office and is the leading office software.

Microsoft’s Office software’s sales in China stopped, and their overseas sales are also affected. Many foreign companies also switched to WPS because of the foreign language feature.

Microsoft’s person in charge in China quickly report to his headquarters. It was then he found out that the situation is more severe than he thought.
