Chapter 878 Empathy

At the end of March, Microsoft and Twitter held a joint press conference and began to put forward the slogan of VR social leader, saying that a VR social product will be launched soon, and the scene effect can be well realized through Microsoft VR glasses. .

The large-scale marketing of Microsoft and Twitter on VR social media has played a certain role, especially in the Omi region, where many young people have high expectations for it.

Meng Qian was not prepared to personally intervene in this matter, but Gu Junhui took the initiative to find him, "VR social networking is like a signal, a signal for the landing of a cooperation project between American companies."

"Well, do you have any ideas?"

"More solutions are already being made. Today, it is mainly aimed at Microsoft Twitter's VR social itself. Haven't we been working on this product, and now we have an idea.

It can be said that Gale Group started with social games. It would seem a romantic thing to use social games to make a transition at a critical moment.

We want to make a VR social game that combines social interaction and games, looking back on the past and imagining the future. "

"You can decide this kind of thing yourself, don't you need to ask me?" Meng Qian was somewhat puzzled.

Gu Junhui suddenly showed a meaningful smile. "The authors of this idea are Wei Pengtian, Si Yuhang, Fu Qinyi and others."

Meng Qian's eyes suddenly changed, "What do these guys want to do?"

"Didn't they just say, they want to make a VR social game."

"They should have their own projects now, right?"

"That's why I came to discuss this matter with Mr. Meng. According to the company's regulations, they can indeed start a project concurrently, as long as they can guarantee their jobs.

But because these oldest employees are basically the backbone of the company now, I dare not make an assessment of this matter, and I need Mr. Meng to make a decision. "

"What do you think?" Meng Qian asked deliberately.

Gu Junhui said without hesitation, "Of course I can't wait to ask for it."

Meng Qian didn't ask any more questions, and asked Gu Junhui to call them to his office.

Not long after, Wei Pengtian, Li Feiqing, Du Junsheng, Fu Qinyi, Tao Tingting, and Si Yuhang came to Meng Qian.

"A lot of people have left." Meng Qian looked at the crowd and sighed.

"It's not that you are urging everyone to go out and start a business every day." Wei Pengtian responded with a smile, "It's just a few of us who are still here."

"And then you decided to go to the project of VR social games?"

"To be honest, we are not considered talents." Li Feiqing said relatively seriously, "We can only say that our fate is better, and we have achieved some so-called achievements by relying on the aura of the company's first batch of employees.

In fact, I have thought about going out to start a business many times, but everyone has different personalities, opportunities, and environments. Staying in the company is the best choice for me.

In the past few years, I feel more like an inheritor, passing on the company's vision, company culture, and company beliefs to newcomers.

Coincidentally, I happened to be in charge of the VR social project. Not long ago, I saw that Kevin was the person in charge of Microsoft’s VR social project. I felt a little restless for some reason, so I chatted with them. "

"I was actually quite surprised to see Kevin, but this is a tough nut to crack. Do you think it's okay to take care of both?"

"At the beginning, you kept telling me to learn to take the initiative and strive for it in the workplace." Si Yuhang still had that cold look, "You may not be able to do what you want, but you must fight for it."

"You guys, do you have to toss yourself at this age?"

"The world is about to become the world of the post-90s. If we don't make a fuss, those of us in the early 80s will be forgotten."

Meng Qian couldn't help smiling, "Okay, actually, you know I won't stop you, can you tell me your specific thoughts?"

"Keep it a secret." Li Feiqing exchanged glances with everyone and said, "Leave a suspense for you too."

"Then you should tell me when you plan to go online?"

"Next year, 2019 will definitely be online."

"Okay, then I'll wait."

The old employees took over the VR social game project out of their various considerations, and Meng Qian also began to prepare for further actions.

Dafeng Group asked IBM to stop the production and sales of high-end chips and pay 10 billion yuan in compensation to Dafeng Group.

The news blew up the global technology market, not only because of IBM's representativeness in the technology level of the United States, but also because of the super high compensation of 10 billion, and more importantly, because the Dafeng Group asked IBM to stop the production and sales of high-end chips. matter.

This is in line with the long-standing restrictions on Dafeng Group, and this complaint appeared on April 3.

Everything has a clear direction.

And everyone is very confused about what qualifications Gale Group has to ask IBM to stop producing and selling high-end chips.

Soon, the statement of Gale Group came.

The statement pointed out that Dafeng Group signed a non-barrier agreement with IBM back then, but IBM no longer provided high-end chips to Dafeng Group, which has violated the agreement.

However, considering the long-term cooperative relationship with IBM and considering that Dafeng Group hopes that things will not develop in a worse direction, IBM also stated that it is under pressure to not provide Dafeng Group with chips, and has been mediating from it. With the attitude of win-win cooperation, do not turn against IBM.

But the problem is that after such a long time, Dafeng Group still hasn't seen any sincerity from IBM, and now things are developing in a worse direction even if there is only unilateral pressure. Dafeng Group does not want to be a good old man , had to make a prosecution.

As for why IBM is required to stop the production and sales of high-end chips, it is because some of IBM's high-end chip patents belong to Dafeng Group. IBM's high-end chips were originally jointly developed by Sony and IBM of Dafeng Group, especially computer CPUs.

Originally, Dafeng Group could not restrict IBM, but the problem is that IBM broke the contract first, then Dafeng Group has the possibility of winning the lawsuit, and Hangzhou Pizza Hut is ready to go.

Dafeng Group’s statement clearly stated the cause and effect of the matter. It was IBM who violated the cooperation agreement between the two companies first, and Dafeng Group gave IBM so much time to do their best.

At the same time, it conveyed to the world the news that IBM cannot manufacture high-end chips without the patents of Dafeng Group. Conversely, Dafeng Group can actually use patents to suppress IBM, but Dafeng Group has never done so. At this point, the Dafeng Group had endured long enough and had no choice but to fight back.

Having to fight back and taking the initiative to attack is completely different.

At the end of the statement, it also read, "In line with the beautiful vision of globalization, we have always been unwilling to aggravate the deterioration of the situation, and have always hoped to resolve some meaningless and unfavorable conflicts that are not conducive to the development of all mankind through more peaceful means. Unfortunately, the reality has not It's as beautiful as we imagined.

The more we sacrifice, others will not be grateful, but will take it for granted, so we can only fight back. "

Rometty contacted Meng Qian as soon as she got the news, "What is Mr. Meng doing?

You will only push things in the worst direction. "

"We forced? Don't Ms. Rometty feel ashamed for saying this?" Meng Qian asked very forcefully, "Who is forcing whom? How much time have I given you? I will ask you for my losses this year. have you been?

I have always told you that as long as you can end this vicious confrontation with me, I will bear all the losses. Isn't that enough? "

Rometty also felt wronged, and immediately changed her tone, "Mr. Meng, we are really working hard on this matter."

"I only know that you are working hard to develop technology. During this period of time, you have been in frequent contact with American technology companies, and you have talked about projects, right?

With IBM's capabilities, I believe it will definitely contribute a lot, right?

Of course, I still say the same thing, if we can have a relatively level playing field, I have nothing to say if I lose, but you guys have used this method, and I have endured for so long is really the greatest kindness to our cooperation.

Now you are accelerating technological development while viciously competing. If I don’t fight back, this is a bad guy! "

"Mr. Meng, there are some things we really can't control, but I believe we still have room for cooperation."

"During the period when you cut off technology, we survived entirely on our own. Now I just want to get back what I deserve."

Rometty almost blurted out that IBM has no plans for nobody.

"Mr. Meng, give us a little more time."

"Enough time has been given, and there is no need for Ms. Rometty to say more. I hope you will respond to the lawsuit as soon as possible."

Faced with Meng Qian's resolute attitude, Rometty also began to get tough, "Mr. Meng should be clear, in fact, we still have room for the entire confrontation. If we really tear ourselves apart, it will be against Dafeng Group and Huaxia Enterprises. It's not a good thing to say."

"I know, but at the same time, it's not a good thing for American companies. Ms. Rometty can ask the next time she goes to negotiate with the higher-ups, is it really going to try to see who can't handle it first?"

The phone call had completely collapsed, and Meng Qian's abrupt attitude caught IBM by surprise.

The last affection after the breakup disappeared at this moment.

IBM always felt that the Dafeng Group would not fight back like this, although at this moment they suddenly realized that it was very strange, why did they think so.

Maybe it's prejudice, arrogance, or being confronted by Huaxia like this.

The IBM incident not only let the world see Meng Qian's attitude, but also let the world see a weakness of American companies.

It has always been believed that American companies can wantonly attack Chinese companies because the United States can basically find substitutes for the technology that China can provide to the United States.

However, IBM made the world realize that Dafeng Group possesses a large number of high-end technologies. In fact, the American companies it cooperates with cannot find substitutes for all of these technologies.

Even U.S. companies have a lazy mentality that making is worse than buying.

Meng Qian only moved an IBM, and everyone instantly felt the same way.

It is difficult for a person who is used to bullying others to understand how the person being bullied feels, unless one day he is bullied once.

The best way to make the perpetrator understand the victim is to make the perpetrator a victim.
