Chapter 1377 – Will not merge

Although Feng Yu cannot offer Kirilenko any suggestions, he can suggest a few top players. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, etc., are still unknowns now. If he can buy these players, he will get high returns in the future.

They had a good dinner, and Feng Yu is not drunk after drinking two glasses of red wine. It’s an achievement not to get drunk while dining with Brother Ki.

As the four of them were about to leave, they saw someone familiar also leaving.

The smile on this person’s face disappears when he saw Feng Yu, and he walks away with his head held high.

Kirilenko smacked his lips. What’s there to be proud of? This person’s position on the Forbes Billionaires list had been sliding down every year.

“Paul, are you leaving without saying hi to your friend?” Feng Yu shouted. He is also not happy with Paul Allen’s attitude.

Paul Allen stopped and turned. “When are we friends?”

Kirilenko said in his Russian accent English. “That’s right. Feng, how can anyone be our friends?”

Paul Allen could not hold back his anger. “Kirilenko! What do you mean?!”

“What’s wrong? Did you think you are my friend? Feng was only trying to be nice.”

Feng Yu patted Kirilenko to stop him. “Paul, Bill, and I have a meeting in Seattle the day after tomorrow. Did you tell you about it?”

Paul Allen is shocked. This must be an important business meeting for Feng Yu to visit Microsoft, and he is unaware of it.

Bill Gates has more trust in Ballmer and others than him, and he is very unhappy about it. He is the second shareholder of Microsoft and one of the co-founders. Bill Gates should discuss with him first before meeting Feng Yu.

Why didn’t Bill Gates tell Paul Allen about his meeting with Feng Yu? It is because Feng Yu told Bill Gates that he is visiting him for a chat as friends. Why should he tell Paul Allen when he knows they have a bad relationship?

After they left, Kirilenko asked. “Feng, why are you meeting Bill Gates? Are you going back to Microsoft?”

“No. Bill Gates has always wanted to talk to me about the mobile phone operating system, but I didn’t have time. I am meeting him since I’m here.” Feng Yu replied.


“Mobile phone operating system, HOS? Are you going to merge with Microsoft’s mobile phone system?” Kirilenko is surprised.

Kirilenko knows Feng Yu should not make such a decision. He had planned to go against all other companies with his PC hardware and software since last year. Why is he thinking of merging with Microsoft now?

“Merge? I had never thought about this. I only want to ask Bill Gates if he has any intention of selling Microsoft’s mobile phone operating system.”

Kirilenko’s jaw dropped. Feng Yu is going to acquire one of Microsoft’s businesses? This is the first time he heard someone wants to acquire Microsoft’s business.

But this person is Feng Yu, and Kirilenko is not very surprised. Everyone thought Feng Yu is mad when he asked Lenovo to acquire IBM’s PC business.

Lenovo had started negotiation with IBM now, and IBM does have intentions to sell their PC business. If this deal is successful, Lenovo will become the World’s No.1 PC manufacturer and might form an oligopoly.

“Feng Yu, are you saying Microsoft is going to sell their smartphone operating system?” Li Zekai is shocked.

Most of Li Zekai’s focus is on the IT industry, and he is interested if Microsoft is going to sell it.

“I don’t know. But I think Bill Gates should not sell it. Microsoft, Symbian, Blackberry, and our HOS are the only mobile phone operating systems in the market. Although our speed is the fastest, the winner is still not decided. He will not admit defeat. I guess he wants to work with us to kick Symbian out and attack Blackberry!”

Li Zekai frowned. It will be hard for him to get involved if this is the case. He doesn’t have enough capital to cooperate with the other party.

Li Zeju patted his brother’s back to console him. This is not as easy as buying a stake with money. That’s why the Li family cannot help.

“Feng, are you going to work with Microsoft?”

“I will welcome them if Bill Gates is willing to give up developing their operating system and join our HOS system development. He can forget it if he wants us to join them. We still have room for negotiations if he only wants to form an alliance.”

HOS is Feng Yu’s operating system and will be used on tablets in the future. He will never give it up.

Feng Yu is willing to give China some stake in it, but not Microsoft. He is still thinking of trashing Microsoft. Why would he give in?

In Feng Yu’s previous life, the Android operating system had developed the fastest to become the most popular phone operating system in the World. It exceeded Microsoft, Apple, Blackberry and kicked Symbian out of the market.

Android can be successful is because its source code is free for everyone to use. All mobile phone manufacturers or software developers can use it to develop variants of Android.

Most mobile phone APPs support Android systems, and even some Apple Apps have Android versions. Symbian was obsolete because of this reason.

In this life, Feng Yu invested heavily in HOS development and doesn’t intend to release the source codes yet.

Feng Yu wants to let Microsoft and other companies think they can beat the HOS system before releasing the source code. That will be a devastating blow to these mobile phone operating system developers.

It’s just like Linux. Its source code is open-source and free, and it had snatched away some of the market share from Microsoft in Feng Yu’s previous life.

“Feng, I wish you success.” Kirilenko doesn’t know what to say and could be of any help. Of course, he can get a share of the profits if HOS is successful, and he can’t wait to see HOS acquire Microsoft’s operating system.

Feng Yu smiles. “I believe I will be successful.”

Translator’s notes: I think it will be an all-out war against Microsoft now.
