I opened the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 282 Microsoft's Failure

Emperor Zhenwu nodded slightly, his posture was like a wise elder pondering the mysteries of the universe. His eyes were shining like the bright stars in the night sky. He cleared his throat and said in a somewhat mysterious tone: "My dear daughter, today your father will introduce you to another extraordinary person. This person is Bill Gates. He is extraordinary. He is the founder of Microsoft. In this world, he is like a towering mountain that people can only look up to. He is like a legendary magician who led the revolution of personal computer software. The power of this revolution is like a raging fire in the vast and barren world of technology. The fire is so big and the light is so strong that it illuminates the whole world, just like the sun falling on the earth, making every corner without darkness."

"In the mortal world, computer technology was once as mysterious as the magic of ancient wizards. Only a few geeks who wore thick glasses and stayed in the laboratory all day knew how to use it. At that time, computers were like a mysterious gadget from an alien planet to ordinary people, and they didn't even dare to touch it. But Bill Gates was like a super magic master who came from the magic world. He was like a magic wand. With a light wave, he popularized this mysterious magic! He promoted the application of computer technology around the world. His enthusiasm was like that of a crazy missionary. No matter whether it was a gray-haired grandfather or grandmother, or a little baby who just learned to walk, , whether it is an elite in the workplace or a housewife in the kitchen, everyone can feel the convenience brought by technology, just like everyone has an omnipotent magic assistant. The Microsoft he founded really occupies a dominant position in the fields of operating systems and office software, just like a super giant whale dominating the ocean. Its influence is so great, like a tsunami, affecting every corner of the world, and as deep as a black hole in the universe, with no bottom. "The more Zhenwu Emperor spoke, the more excited he became. His expression was like a child who got his favorite toy, dancing with joy, as if he was also in the turbulent technological wave, rolling with the wave.

"Daughter, think about it. In people's lives now, Microsoft is everywhere. It is just like air. Although you can't see it, you can always feel its presence. The simple and easy-to-use operating system is like a well-trained magic army. You only need to move your fingers and give instructions, and it will serve you obediently, just like soldiers hearing the general's orders. It allows people to easily control the computer and feel like a god who controls the world. Look at the office software, it is really magical like Doraemon A. Like a pocket of dreams, it is fully functional, making people's work efficient and convenient, as if they have a group of magical assistants around to help. Bill Gates' achievements are not just about making a lot of money in business, they have simply changed the way people live! It's like pulling humans from primitive society to modern technological society in one fell swoop. This achievement is so great that it can be written into history books, and it has to be written in super-large fonts! "The Great Emperor Zhenwu looked at the water shadow expectantly, with eyes like a hunter staring at the prey that is about to be caught, hoping that his daughter can be like him, full of admiration for this legendary figure.

"Moreover, Bill Gates has played an important role in global health, education and other fields through his philanthropy. He is simply a benevolent angel from heaven! He is like a boy who gives away money, but he not only gives away money, but also a lot of love. He spreads his wealth to the world in large quantities, like gold coins raining down from the sky. He invests a lot of money, which is like the water in the river, and is committed to solving global health problems, just like a super doctor who wants to treat patients all over the world. Because of his help, people in poor areas can get better medical conditions, just like seeing light in the darkness. In education, On the other hand, he is like a hard-working gardener, sparing no effort to create a better learning environment for children, so that the light of knowledge can illuminate every corner like the sun's rays, whether it is a small village in the mountains or a slum in a bustling city, children have the opportunity to learn, which is really a great merit! If such a person becomes our son-in-law, it would be an honor, just like having a statue of the God of Wealth and a statue of Bodhisattva at home. When we go out, others will look at us with envy and jealousy. "The eyes of the Zhenwu Emperor were full of longing, as if he had seen the grand scene of his daughter's wedding with Bill Gates, which was probably more lively than the emperor marrying his daughter.

After hearing what her father said, Mizukage frowned slightly, like two little bugs fighting. A thoughtful look appeared on her pretty face, like a little philosopher pondering the big questions of life. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said, "Dad, Bill Gates is indeed admirable. He is like a towering mountain. His contributions to science and technology and charity are like the treasures on the mountain, shining and cannot be ignored. However, I think we can't be like a headless fly and decide whether he is suitable to be a son-in-law just because of his achievements. This matter is not that simple."

"First of all, although Microsoft occupies a dominant position in operating systems and office software, like a martial arts leader, it is not perfect, just like a martial arts leader also has a nap. Microsoft's products are sometimes like an old stubborn person in terms of innovation, and seem to lag behind. Look at the speed of technological development now, it is as fast as riding a rocket. New technologies and concepts are constantly popping up like mushrooms after rain, one more novel and more powerful than the other. And Microsoft, at some times, is like a slow-reacting big bear, failing to keep up with the trend in time. For example, in the early days of the mobile Internet era, everyone was like discovering a new continent and moving towards the mobile side, but what about Microsoft? It was like it was still in a dream, and its layout on the mobile side was relatively slow, which allowed competitors to seize the opportunity like a group of hungry wolves and snatch away all the fat meat. This also reflects that Microsoft may not be agile enough in decision-making when facing a rapidly changing market environment, just like a general who hesitates on the battlefield and misses the best opportunity."

"Secondly, Microsoft's products still have room for improvement in terms of user experience, just like a beautiful house, but some places are not decorated delicately enough. Although Microsoft's operating system and office software are as powerful as a super arsenal, some details may be like the work of a careless craftsman, not user-friendly enough. For example, the software installation process may be like walking through a maze, very complicated, making users feel like headless flies, bumping around and unable to find the exit when installing. System updates can sometimes be like a naughty little devil, causing some troubles to users, either problems here or there, just like you were walking happily on the road, and suddenly someone tripped you up. Moreover, Microsoft's products also need to be strengthened in terms of cross-platform compatibility, just like a lonely person who can't get along well with others, and can't meet users' needs for seamless switching between different devices, which is very annoying for users, just like you wanted to cross the river comfortably, but found that the bridge was broken."

"Besides, Microsoft sometimes appears too strong when facing competition, like a domineering little bully. In business competition, some of Microsoft's practices may cause controversy, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. For example, in the competition with competitors, some exclusive strategies may be adopted, just like a child protecting his toys and not letting others touch them, which may affect the ecological development of the entire industry. The son-in-law my daughter wants should be a more gentle person who understands win-win cooperation, just like a group of friends playing together, everyone is happy, rather than a person who only wants to win and doesn't care about the life and death of others. Such a person is not easy to get along with."

"Finally, although Bill Gates has done a lot of good things through charity, just like a great good man, charity may also bring some controversy, just like a beautiful flower may have thorns hidden under it. Sometimes, people will question Bill Gates' philanthropic motives, just like wondering if a person has some ulterior motives for doing good things. My daughter believes that a truly good person must not only do good deeds, just like you can't just look at a person's good deeds on the surface, but also have a heart as pure as crystal, which is the most important thing. Moreover, the effect of charity also needs time to test, just like planting a tree, you can't expect it to grow into a towering tree right after you plant it, and you can't just think that it will bring about huge changes just because you have invested a lot of money. Maybe the money will be like a waste of money and will not play any role."

"And..." Mizukage acted like a little girl, with a hint of doubt and ridicule in her eyes, like a cunning little fox finding new prey, and spoke again: "Dad, listen carefully to the name of Microsoft. Hey, 'Microsoft', it sounds awkward, just like eating a mouthful of half-cooked rice. Think about it, what kind of feeling does the word 'soft' usually give people? It is powerless and weak, just like a soft-footed shrimp, which will fall down when the wind blows, and can be pushed to the ground by others with a light push. And adding the word 'micro' in front, oh my, doesn't it make it seem even smaller and weaker, like a small bean sprout, very fragile. These two words combined, don't they look like a eunuch, without any masculinity, soft and weak. Hehe, dad, don't you think it makes sense?"

Zhenwu Emperor showed a surprised look, as if he had eaten a strange bean, his facial features were distorted, obviously he didn't expect his daughter to have such a strange idea. He stared with his eyes wide open, his mouth open, and couldn't speak for a long time, as if he was cast under a spell. Mizukage didn't care, and continued to expound on his views with a beaming face, just like a speaker giving a passionate speech on the stage.

"Dad, what do you think a married couple should have? It should be a combination of strength and tenderness, just like the Tai Chi diagram, with strength and tenderness blending together, just like chocolate and milk mixed together, that's sweet. But the name of Microsoft is hard to imagine that it can be so strong, just like asking someone to go to war, it's unreliable. What if you find someone who is closely related to Microsoft, such as Bill Gates? Oh my, wouldn't the married couple's life in the future be full of uncertainty? Without that kind of solid support and strength, It's like rowing a boat without oars. How can you move forward hand in hand in the waves of life? It's like two little ants swimming in the sea, they may drown at any time. Dad, think about it, if you go out together and encounter a little monster, other husbands will rush over and beat the monster like a superhero. But if you are with Microsoft people, you may be scared to the point of your legs being weak, like a frightened little rabbit, what can you do? Do you expect the little monster to be scared away by his weakness? That's ridiculous."

"Let's talk about the name, Microsoft Microsoft. It sounds like a soft dough that will flatten if you pinch it. It has no momentum at all. Other company names are very domineering, such as 'Iron Man Enterprises'. It sounds powerful, as hard as steel, and awe-inspiring. What about Microsoft? It feels like it will fall down if the wind blows. It is as fragile as a paper house. Dad, if we live together in the future and a thief comes to our house, do we expect Microsoft people to scare the thief away with gentle eyes? The thief will probably laugh his teeth off and then move all the things in the house. And wow, couples should have a little romance sometimes, but are Microsoft people also weak when they are romantic? The flowers sent to you are all drooping, as if they are sick. How boring. It's like you were expecting a grand fireworks show, but the fireworks were all duds. How disappointing it would be."

"Besides, Dad, you see those popular TV dramas now, the male protagonists are all tall, mighty, handsome and responsible, just like the ancient heroes, which makes people's hearts flutter when they see them. This Microsoft guy doesn't meet this standard at all. Just like in those idol dramas, the male protagonist always stands up at the critical moment to protect the female protagonist from wind and rain, as reliable as a big umbrella. If it were a Microsoft guy, he might hide behind the female protagonist when the wind blows. The picture is too beautiful and I dare not think about it. It's as funny as seeing a mouse chasing a cat. Hehe, Dad, you said that my daughter's requirements are not high. I just want to find someone who can be like a hero at the critical moment, not someone who is weak and powerless like a eunuch. I don't want to live the rest of my life like a stagnant pool of water, without any passion."

The Mizukage got more and more excited as he spoke, like a lit firecracker, crackling non-stop. The Great Emperor Zhenwu was listening to him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, as if the expressions on his face were fighting, sometimes wanting to laugh, sometimes feeling helpless. "My daughter, your idea is really unique, like a rare flower. However, we can't just judge a person by his name. Maybe Bill Gates has other advantages? Maybe when he is gentle, he can make you feel like a spring breeze, as comfortable as a spring breeze. You can't be too prejudiced, you have to look at people in a more comprehensive way."

Mizukage snorted like an angry kitten, "Dad, I don't believe it. My daughter is not deliberately picky, she just hopes to find someone who is really suitable for her. A name may not completely determine the essence of a person, but it can reflect some characteristics to a certain extent. The name Microsoft really makes my daughter have many doubts about the person behind it in terms of marital life. It's like a dark cloud hanging over my heart, and it won't go away. I don't want to regret it in the future, so I have to think carefully."
