Chapter 1383: Devastating blow

Chapter 1389 – Devastating blow

Sun Zhengyi’s secretary came with a piece of bad news. Sony and other companies’ ordinary mobile phone operating systems were developed by Softbank’s subsidiaries, including the applications. But now, Sony and other companies announced they would be letting Microsoft handle their operating systems.

Microsoft had given Softbank another blow, and Softbank’s subsidiaries are finished without these orders. They will not cover their operating cost.

Sun Zhengyi did not expect these companies to do this to him, and he realized AIWA’s mobile phone had placed Softbank in big trouble.

Sun Zhengyi’s only solution is to speak to those companies. Those companies can use Microsoft’s mobile phone operating system, but what about the applications? Microsoft might not have enough resources to develop applications. Even if they cannot get the meat, they must at least get the soup.

Sun Zhengyi does not have time to speak to Kameda Masao and quickly contacted Sony and other companies’ Chairmen. Kameda Masao overheard this and quietly left.

…….

“Oh? Sony and other companies had switched to Microsoft’s operating system for their mobile phones? That means Softbank is going to suffer massive losses.” Feng Yu smiled when he heard this piece of news.

Softbank thought they had gotten a good deal by recruiting Kameda Masao as their director. They did not know they would suffer a great loss instead.

Even if Softbank suspect Kameda Masao had done this on purpose, they would not fire him. After all, he had represented Softbank to contact some IT-related companies in China to invest in them.

“Boss, Microsoft’s profits will increase. Although the profit is not that high, their mobile phone operating system’s market share will increase. This is disadvantageous for us.” Kameda Masao replied.

“It’s alright. Those are ordinary phones, and the system is not complicated. It will be the smartphone era in the future, and we must focus on mobile phone operating system development. Of course, we are not going to give up ordinary phones’ system development. After all, the smartphone still has not replaced the ordinary phone, and its sales are not as good.”

The current mobile phone is not using high-end components, and it limits the phone’s operating system. Also, most people are using mobile phones to call or send SMS now, and the mainstream phone is still an ordinary mobile phone.

For example, Wind and Rain Mobile’s low-cost mobile phone sales had exceeded 30 million units worldwide.

This model might even break Nokia’s record in Feng Yu’s previous life.

“Softbank had asked me to contact several Chinese IT-related companies to invest or cooperate with them. They plan to use them as stepping stones to enter the Chinese market. They also want to bring in their apparel products through me. I am afraid I cannot drag it for too long, as I will resign at year-end.”

“Let’s talk about this another time. Just do your best to drag them out by acting with Zhong Qingxian. But you must remember this. You can resign from Softbank but must not be fired by them!”

Kameda Masao is Wind and Rain Holding’s President. If he is fired by Softbank, Wind and Rain Holding’s reputation will be affected.

“Don’t worry, Boss. Oh, our AIWA Music phones are selling well. Heitaro Nakajima is managing the sales. Although a lot is spent on marketing, the results are good. However, it caused AIWA’s MP 3 players sales to drop, and Sony’s MP3 player’s sales are worse than us.”

Feng Yu had warned Heitaro Nakajima that MP3 players’ sales would be affected after Music mobile phone is launched. But he insisted on letting AIWA manufacture mobile phones. Furthermore, AIWA’s phone is only sold in Japan now, and Japan’s MP3 players’ sales are not high in the first place. The first batch of MP3 players is not obsolete, and new users’ growth is not high.

The profit from mobile phones is higher than MP3 players.

AIWA is also working on a video player MP3 player based on Feng Yu’s suggestion. MPEG-4 had been introduced a few years ago, but it can only be played on PCs. Why can’t it be played on a small MP3 player?

Someone mentioned that if the small device can play videos, can it still be an MP3 player?

Who cares what is it called as long as the users like it? Feng Yu told Heitaro Nakajima that Wind and Rain Electronics, Aiwa Electronics, and other companies would buy the technology if this product is developed successfully.

Feng Yu had given lots of suggestions to his subsidiaries’ researchers. With these two functions combined, it will become a new product.

For example, combining CD player and recorder, recorder and radio, or these three products and selling it as a new product.

AIWA is trying to combine other product’s functions with MP3 players. For example, an MP3 player with a voice recording function. Heitaro Nakajima even thought of combining MP3 and digital cameras. This way, MP3 players can take and browse pictures, read e-books, etc.

If a product has multiple functions with good quality, consumers will surely buy it.

“Take note of the situation in Japan, and ask Ralph to take note of Microsoft’s actions. I want to know their every move.”

Microsoft is currently suppressing Lenovo Kingsoft. After posting it on overseas websites, Feng Yu thought that some IT experts would develop the activation code generator for overseas versions. But until now, there is no news.

Feng Yu doesn’t know someone had developed this English version of the activation code generator, but it was sold to Microsoft.

Microsoft had offered 5 million USD, and that developer couldn’t resist the offer.

Microsoft knows that if they don’t offer a high price for it, that person will release the activation code generator online, and it will cause heavier losses for them.

Although 5 million USD is a lot, it is nothing compared to Microsoft’s profits.

When Microsoft thought everything is over and they can continue to suppress Lenovo Kingsoft, their German version of the Office activation code generator is released.

This product activation code generator spreads rapidly. It was already downloaded more than 100,000 times when Microsoft noticed it.

Soon after, a universal version of the activation code generator appeared. It can work in all languages of Microsoft Office software.

Microsoft realized that things had blown out of proportion. Their Office software is going to be devastated!
