Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 21: Destined for tragedy

Microsoft reached a market value of 661.6 billion U.S. dollars in 1999, which is the highest market value record of listed companies in human history. If inflation is counted, it would be equivalent to $ 913 billion in 2012.

As a company that has created such a market value, Microsoft employs more than 100,000 people worldwide. With so many employees, Microsoft's organizational structure can be imagined to be huge.

Donalds said that he worked at Microsoft, but did not tell Wenming exactly which department he worked in, whether it was headquarters or branch, and so on.

Bian Wenming's problem is actually to learn more about Donners' position in Microsoft so that he can take advantage of it.

虽然 "Although I'm just a senior engineer at Microsoft."

Donalds had a very proud expression on his face when he said this, because the senior engineers at Microsoft are really advanced.

但是 "But as far as I know, Microsoft has no idea about the mobile game market."

Wu Wenming was very surprised at Donald's identity, because the profession of senior engineer seemed to be very unsuitable for the expedition he was currently conducting. So-called senior engineers, especially senior engineers at Microsoft, shouldn't stay in the office every day, drink coffee, keep typing code or have meetings?

"Senior engineer?" Wen Ming said with a smile, "then your rating must be very high."

Prior to 2013, Microsoft implemented an employee technology rating system, and each employee was graded. This seemingly cruel system was abolished only in 2013, but is it really abolished?

Donalds continued to proudly answer: "Not too high, just 66."

If you do n’t know Microsoft ’s rating system, you ’re certainly not surprised at 66, but in fact, this level is no longer an engineer. In a department, this level is definitely the most admired existence, and any question is what they say. Moreover, it is already the highest level of Microsoft engineers, and there are 67 levels above it.

Further up, it is no longer an engineer, but directly linked to the profit of the product. If you do a good job, the bonuses are clamoring, if you don't do it well, you may be cut.

Wu Wenming looked at the proud Donalds without any envy, because with his current ability, he could definitely become a senior engineer at Microsoft, or even go further in a short period of time. But that's not to say that he doesn't look down on Donalds, and being able to mix in this step is already the top group of people in the computer industry except those like Bill Gates.

Of course, technically, Donners can definitely get rid of Bill Gates.

"Don't Microsoft do the mobile game market, is it because the profit of the mobile game market is too small?"

This question has already been answered in Wenming's mind. The reason why I still have to ask it is to be able to explore the thoughts of Donalds and Microsoft.

Donalds saw Wenming's interest in chatting, just as he was idle again, so he talked on the deck.

"As far as I know, the total revenue of the global mobile game market last year was less than 4 billion U.S. dollars a year. Although only half of it has passed this year, the mobile game market has changed due to the replacement of mobile phones and technological improvements. Increase, but it will definitely not exceed $ 5 billion per year. "

Donalds talked bluntly: "This number is very high, except for a few dozen people worldwide, it is impossible for others to get such a high value in a lifetime. However, this number represents the global market."

Tong Wenming nodded beside him, which made Donalds more interested to continue.

"There are more than 200 countries and regions in the world. Each country and region has local protection policies. Whether it is mobile games or computer games, it is very difficult to achieve true global marketing. Even if it can be done, Marketing the world, the profits will be divided by many levels. "

"To develop a game that is popular all over the world, it is difficult to guarantee sufficient funds and technology to invest. And our annual turnover of Microsoft is nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars, and the profit is also 10 billion U.S. dollars. Why do we think Value the mobile games market? "

"The most important thing is that we are the owners of the platform, in other words, we are the rule-makers. The question God cares about is how to create a world, not what products the world will produce. It ’s like We invented the Xbox, but the most popular games on the Xbox were not developed by our company. Do you understand what I mean? "

Wu Wenming certainly understands what Donalds meant, but only Microsoft has the confidence to say such things.

微软 Microsoft, which has occupied nearly 98% of the global computer system market, is really inconspicuous for a mobile game market with global revenue of only 4 billion US dollars.

Wu Wenming was very happy, because for him, the problem was that Microsoft hadn't turned their attention to the mobile phone market.

微软 If Microsoft can really regard the mobile phone market as an important development direction for them, then they will certainly be able to see that smartphones will eventually replace current mobile phones. As smartphones continue to improve from generation to generation, the configuration of mobile phones will become more and more like a computer.

When using mobile phones to play games becomes mainstream, the mobile game market share will be invisible to anyone.

Wenming Ming's previous Tencent company, because of the outbreak of mobile game revenue, made the founder of Tencent the richest man in China. Previously, although the founder of Tencent was also in the top few of the rich list, he still failed to reach the top. Although the difference in money is not ‘too much’, it is completely different in meaning.

(Ps: Actually I want to say that I also contributed a negligible income to the richest man.)

"I can understand what you mean."

Wu Wenming replied: "It's like you are going to launch the windowsphone system, but you are not going to make your own hardware products. You just want the windowsphone system to be like the windows series system and occupy the global mobile phone system market.

The Windowsphone system will be officially announced to the outside world by Microsoft in February 2010. At this time, relevant information has already been released.

Donalds nodded with a smile ~ www.readwn.com ~ said: "It seems that you are not the kind of student who studies hard and pays close attention to outside news. In fact, the Windowsphone system is the project I am working on. "

Wu Wenming finally knew what Downers was doing at Microsoft. Being able to participate in Microsoft and even lead such projects as a senior engineer is definitely a very important existence.

However, Wenming at this time expressed a lot of sympathy to Downers. Because, the Windowsphone mobile phone system is a very failed system. The first official version of Windowsphone7.0 will be adopted by Nokia to deal with Apple's iOS mobile phone system.

In Wen Wenming's previous life, after adopting this system from Microsoft, Nokia did not return to the sky and was eventually acquired by Microsoft. Of course, some conspiracy theorists believe that Microsoft just wanted to use this system to make Nokia fail and then be acquired by them.

It stands to reason that there is no Apple in this world, and the Windowsphone system is not necessarily used by Nokia, so Winodwsphone system may not fail, and Donalds is naturally not a tragedy.

Wen Keming knew that Donalds was destined to become a tragedy.

Because this world has him, and he has Apple's technology reserves for decades, Apple's amazing series of products are destined to be born into this world in his hands.

Whether it's still Nokia, or Microsoft, which has a 98% share of the global computer system market, it will become his roadblock, and then kicked away by him.

"Mr. Downers."

Wu Wenming smiled and said, "I want to make a bet with you!"
