Chapter 13 Microsoft's Intervention

While Takahashi was still flirting with his wife, Vilford's fat G had no chance to have free time.

Business struggles have never been a bottom line or a bottom line.

If the laws had not become more and more sound in recent years, things like DuPont's blowing up its competitors' family might have continued to happen.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. In a certain era, this is not a metaphor, but a fact. Fortunately, when entering modern society, the power of the country is far greater than that of the enterprise, and thus gradually begins to converge.

Perhaps, like the Sypopunk works written by American science fiction writers, or even the horror-themed games made by Japanese people like "Resident Evil", the biggest villain is the company itself, and perhaps it has something to do with these history.

After all, the Chinese have never experienced the history of being ruled by large companies, and they really remember it unforgettable.

However, for the super-large enterprise that can often move tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people.

The biggest feature of modern Internet companies is that they have few people.

That's right, there are few people. As for the world's number one software giant like Microsoft, there are only 4,000 employees.

If we calculate based on the total market value of Microsoft of 200 billion US dollars, the average market value of each employee will be 0.5 billion US dollars, which was absolutely unimaginable in the past.

Of course, although Microsoft's most profitable core business is their operating systems and office software, Microsoft has always coveted the game industry.

Whether it is Bill Gates’ personal preference, or it is also said that electronic games are the easiest type of product in the electronic software industry to make profitable.

Anyway, Microsoft has always wanted to enter the video game field.

However, since MSX, which started many years ago, Microsoft's move to enter the video game market has been failing.

At the beginning, Japan's home computer game market was very booming, so they cooperated with several major Japanese manufacturers to launch MSX.

Although the machine performance is OK, the expensive price and relatively poor game have discouraged one player after another.

The red and white machine, which may not be advantageous in individual quality, may not be the best in comprehensive quality, has quickly occupied the market since its release and became the mainstream of the market.

In fact, are the red and white machines really strong? No, it is actually based on the contrast of competitors.

Compared with the display effect of competitors that looks like a strange type, although the display effect of Red Edit is far less than that of the arcade machine, it can achieve two things, smooth and natural.

Fluency is naturally the smooth picture. Naturally, it is not really like a real person, completely realistic. It is like a cartoon. Although everyone knows it is fake, the movements are very smooth and not stiff.

You should know that many inferior animations cannot even be able to do natural action.

So, Microsoft's first attempt to enter the gaming field failed.

Afterwards, when he returned to the United States, he was dormant for a while, real-time strategy games began to become popular, and the acquisition studio developed a high-quality real-time strategy game like "Age of Empires".

However, although the game "Age of Empires" has achieved great results, this game cannot drive the entire industrial chain that Microsoft hopes it has.

Later, Bill Gates invested in many video game companies, one of which was the Vilford Valve Factory, founded by former Microsoft employees.

Microsoft has not interfered with the operation of these companies too much, and it is not known whether it is thinking of having dates or not, or whether it is not bright in the east or the west.

However, in terms of actual results, it is indeed much better than Microsoft's own video games.

Is this because Microsoft has no talent?

No, no.

Is this because Microsoft has no money?

No, not either.

So what is the reason?

Perhaps, it is because of the so-called corporate culture and corporate genes.

Any company has its own style since its establishment.

Just like some Internet companies, they hope that their employees will wear suits every day and go to work like Wall Street financial people.

Although this looks regular, it often means that such companies reveal stereotypes in their development routes and product production.

This kind of company was still mainstream when the Internet industry was just emerging, but in today's 21st century, especially when Google began to rise.

A "freedom" trend began to become popular.

It is not wrong to make software, it is said that it is a matter of following the rules.

However, how to know what kind of software to make is what users need, and it is something they need to think about.

Such things cannot get rid of a lot of market research, but they cannot be done by a bunch of tough brains.

After all, people like these are more suitable for doing things that follow the rules.

Now that Villefort has a problem, Bill Gates, who has high hopes for Villefort, will naturally not stand idly by.

However, he did not take advantage of the situation and wanted to acquire all shares of Vilford.

Instead, he began to help Villefort and resolve the current dilemma.

If you really want to say that Villefort's predicament was really caused by Villefort himself.

You should know that in business competition, there has never been any means that people cannot use some means. However, this means that these means are not exposed or seen.

The reality is that once these methods see the light, you are indeed doing what you find. You can't even do it if you want to pay back the debt.

The most wrong thing about Vilford is not that it uses five cents to attack Vilford, but that it allows its own employees to do this in the company headquarters.

Maybe it's Vilford today, and it's not like it will be like in the future. You can go to Hawaii for a vacation if you have nothing to do.

After all, making money by making games is still in the category of making money while sitting.

Maybe the employees still need to make some extra money.

Of course, this is not a way to appreciate this method.

In fact, the laws of most countries include factors that limit this bottomless competition.

Of course, the laws of different countries are founded by different classes. Sometimes, we cannot simply think that the laws of a certain country are good, that is good.

Like American law, the richer people feel the more comfortable they feel, but for the poor, it is like hell.

And how are these poor people poor?

Is it really because I am lazy and stupid?

Sometimes, these poor people are the most pitiful compared to those who have the right to speak.
