Crazy Entertainment System

Chapter 359 Gates' Worries

My first thought was of the underhanded tactics used against Zhanlong Technology recently, but I didn't expect their retaliation to be so swift, so covert, and so tit-for-tat.

Gates looked at the report submitted below and felt a headache coming on. This Chen Yu was really extraordinary. Their company had already started analyzing the iOS operating system.

They found that this operating system was very sophisticated in design and very innovative in concept. Unlike Windows, iOS is a more closed operating system, which has significant drawbacks, but also advantages, namely that it makes the system cleaner and more secure.

It is somewhat similar to Apple's macOS, but also very different. It can be said that it completely surpasses macOS in terms of design and actual experience.

Steve Jobs of macOS had communicated with him, and they discovered that some of the design concepts and technologies were from Apple. Unfortunately, the patents were not held by Apple, but by Zhanlong Technology. More importantly, some technologies in Apple's macOS operating system were borrowed from iOS.

This really bothered him.

I thought I was going to use it to work on iOS, but now it seems like it's good enough that they're not even doing it.

A while ago, people from Intel and AMD came to him together. Loongson had taken away nearly a third of the market share of the two companies, and Loongson's market share was still expanding.

This greatly harmed the interests of Intel and AMD shareholders, so the top management of Intel and AMD had to consult with Microsoft, a company in the same boat, to find a solution.

After discussions, Intel and AMD paid Microsoft $10 billion to manipulate the Loongson processor, causing it to malfunction when running Windows.

These two companies were behind the scenes, fueling the flames.

But unexpectedly, the other party discovered it just a few days later and launched a counterattack.

Gates was no stranger to the saying "what goes around comes around." He was very interested in Chinese culture and had done a lot of research on it, so he had naturally heard of the saying that what goes around comes around. He just never expected it to happen to him.

But they know who did it, yet they can't say because they have no evidence.

Moreover, they also have something on the other side that they can use against them. Since the other side dared to do this, they must have found some evidence.

“Chen Yu?! What kind of person are you?!” Gates murmured.

A moment later, Gates made a decision: he would visit the world's youngest richest man.

The news that Chen Yu is the world's richest man has already spread within the industry.

Putting aside everything else, Zhanlong Technology alone is enough to make Chen Yu the world's richest man. Although there are many companies in the world that surpass Zhanlong Technology, their individual shareholdings are very small, at most a few percent or a dozen percent.

There really isn't a company that's ten times better than Zhanlong Technology.

Even companies with the highest market capitalization, such as Walmart, wouldn't dare say that Zhanlong Technology is ten times larger.

How much money did Zhanlong Technology actually make? Nobody knows.

Because Zhanlong Technology's financial statements have not been officially released and have remained confidential, the existing data are all based on speculation from various securities firms and rating agencies.

Zhanlong Technology estimates its market capitalization at over 2000 billion US dollars.

But what about this price?! Bill Gates knew perfectly well that this price was definitely too low, and Loongson's potential was far greater than this. More importantly, there was the support from the Chinese government. Although Intel and AMD hadn't said anything, based on market share, and considering the lost market share, Loongson's shipments would be at least $200 billion.

Most importantly, Zhanlong Technology's top-of-the-line chips have become sought-after tools for countless geeks.

This thing completely outclasses Intel's Xeon processors.

Both in terms of performance and quality, the Xeon processors far surpass Intel's, leaving AMD far behind.

Many national governments are ordering that top-of-the-line processor because the order includes a free operating system and technical support. Intel can't offer that.

This doesn't even include the sudden rise of cloud technology and Crazy, the current king of global internet services.

Crazy's products are exceptional, and more importantly, their technology and operations are top-notch.

Although Crazy's actions were quite obvious, Bill Gates, through his own channels, learned that Crazy expansion tactics were not prohibited, and many promising internet companies were acquired and controlled by him. It seems the other party has never lacked money.

As for the profit margin, Bill Gates is well aware that Crazy's almost monopolistic service is a veritable money tree.

Especially advertising, services, and memberships.

Even he, as the CEO of a world-class company, subscribed to a membership.

Moreover, it's a top-tier membership, where you pay for a whole year at once.

Once you experience the membership service, you'll find it's incredibly enjoyable.

It's very convenient. What impressed him most was the World Window service. The core technology of this service is real-time translation. Whether it's video, pictures, or voice, the other party can translate it into the language you need.

In addition, there is the supportive attitude of government departments in various countries. Crazy does public welfare and investment all over the world, which is to befriend governments and gain their support.

Crazy is very careful because whenever it is targeted for monopolistic practices, it will step in to support some new companies, which are all local companies.

The massive cloud storage systems of cloud computing companies are even more frustrating. Microsoft is also developing cloud storage services, but it has found itself struggling to keep up, with minimal results and numerous limitations.

However, Crazy doesn't seem to have this limitation; their data storage space appears to be infinite.

Furthermore, in conjunction with Crazy's services, cloud storage was utilized to the maximum extent.

A membership subscription comes with 20GB of free storage, which is more than enough for most people these days. If that's not enough, you can buy more storage space, which is very cheap.

The higher the membership level, the larger the space available. Cloud Technology often engages in interactive activities, and cloud space is one such complimentary feature.

They are all 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, and 10GB standards.

Moreover, it can be gifted between friends, which shows that cloud technology has integrated cloud space operation into all aspects.

Most importantly, the cloud encryption system has always been something Gates has been eyeing.

He then organized the company's experts to investigate, and it turned out to be just as advertised: it was encrypted, and with a very sophisticated encryption method that was extremely difficult to crack.
