Chapter 291: The Three-Year Period Has Arrived

"Very happy that President Du could come to Dongling Gao Ke!"

Li Dongling and other Dongling Gao Ke executives like Ren Yuefeng were very enthusiastic about Du Jiabin. This scene made Walter, who was following behind, look a bit ugly.

It was Du Jiabin who spoke first, introducing Walter to Li Dongling and others, "This is Mr. Walter, the chairman of Microsoft Greater China!"

Seeing Walter and then looking at Du Jiabin in front of him, Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng looked at each other, and suddenly understood. They knew that the rumors about the discord between Microsoft Mainland company and Microsoft Greater China executives were probably not groundless.

"When I was at the Seattle headquarters, the Microsoft board of directors mentioned you. I have to say, Dongling Gao Ke had very good luck in America last time, but I think there won't be a next time!"

Walter said to Li Dongling with some arrogance. Within Microsoft, many executives did not think that Microsoft really lost to Dongling Gao Ke last time, but that Dongling Gao Ke had "good luck" and received support from a host of computer brand manufacturers.

In the middle, perhaps Dongling Gao Ke also used some means, but don't talk about when they were fighting the lawsuit before, even if it is placed now, Microsoft does not think that Dongling Gao Ke has the strength to wrestle with Microsoft.

Li Dongling looked at Walter, his eyes scanning him for a moment. I don't know why, but after being scanned by Li Dongling's gaze, Walter suddenly felt a sense of hair-raising in his heart.

"Chairman Walter, there is an old saying in China: people should look forward. Constantly dwelling on the past and pain cannot change history. Winning is winning, and losing is losing!"

"Microsoft and Dongling Gao Ke are no longer opponents. Microsoft and Dongling Gao Ke have already issued a joint settlement statement in front of the New York Manhattan Federal Court, haven't they?!"

Unlike Walter's arrogance and aggressiveness, Li Dongling's gaze was gentle, but it made Walter feel pressure.

Don't look at Walter's aggressiveness just now, as if he was going to have a second round with Dongling Gao Ke, but does he dare to start a war with Dongling Gao Ke again?!

Although he said that Microsoft could suppress and handle Dongling Gao Ke, Walter saw with his own eyes how passive and embarrassed Microsoft was when it was tossed by Dongling Gao Ke last time.

And after Microsoft paid the settlement compensation to Dongling Gao Ke, the place that the media did not pay attention to later was that the hardware department manager Spencer, who made Bill Gates and Microsoft lose face, together with that Bonas, were swept out of the house by Microsoft.

Bill Gates did not leave any face at all, and the two people driven out by Microsoft, when such a big scandal was carried on their professional resume, the careers of the two people were basically finished. No giant company would take them in again. Walter asked himself, does he want to experience all this?!

Walter still had an arrogant expression on his face, but he didn't provoke again. He didn't want to start a new dispute with Dongling Gao Ke, and he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Seattle headquarters at that time.

Du Jiabin saw that Walter, who had always used the tiger skin of Microsoft headquarters to suppress him, was somewhat aggrieved at this moment, and couldn't help but feel very happy.

"Mr. Li, you asked us to come here, I'm afraid it's not just to reminisce about the past, right?!"

Entering Dongling Gao Ke, after visiting Dongling Gao Ke in a hurry, Du Jiabin asked Li Dongling directly.

"There are two main things!"

Li Dongling didn't go around in circles anymore. Asking Du Jiabin to come over today was to use his hand to pass the message to the Microsoft headquarters.

"The first thing, according to the agreement reached between Microsoft and Dongling Gao Ke before, the mouse patent authorized by Dongling Gao Ke's Silver Sable mouse to Microsoft, including the scroll wheel, will expire next year. This year, the new generation of Silver Sable mouse is about to be released. Dongling Gao Ke wants to know, does Microsoft mouse still want to continue to authorize patents from Silver Sable?!"

In the past few years, for the Microsoft hardware department, it has been a huge blow. In order to avoid breaking with computer hardware manufacturers, Microsoft has walked very cautiously in the computer hardware field, almost making no progress.

But Microsoft is definitely unwilling to completely give up the hardware industry. This can be seen from Microsoft's refusal to let go of computer components such as mice and keyboards, and its investment in computer servers and other industries. Bill Gates still has great ambitions, wanting Microsoft to show its skills in the hardware industry.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Du Jiabin and Walter also had a headache for a while. Whether Microsoft still wants to do hardware is not something they can decide at all.

"We need to report this matter to the Seattle headquarters. We can only make a decision after the headquarters decides!" Du Jiabin said cautiously to Li Dongling.

Li Dongling nodded, and then asked someone to move a computer into the conference room, which made Du Jiabin and Walter look confused, not knowing what Li Dongling was going to do.

"Actually, this new product press conference of Dongling Gao Ke is not just one product, the Silver Sable second-generation mouse, but also another product!"

Li Dongling's words made Du Jiabin and Walter surprised.

"But, for the second product, Dongling Gao Ke hopes to release it jointly with Microsoft, and only with the addition of Microsoft can this product redefine the new standard of computers!" Du Jiabin and the other were really confused this time, not knowing what Li Dongling was going to play.

Saying that, Li Dongling nodded. Chen Tao, the manager of Dongling Gao Ke's technical department, stepped forward to turn on the computer, and then in front of Du Jiabin and the other, took out a USB drive, inserted it into the computer.

Coming from Microsoft, Du Jiabin and Walter were absolutely technically savvy. At first, they were a bit puzzled, but when they saw Chen Tao operate the computer, store the files on it into the USB drive, and then load them from the USB drive to the computer, how could they not understand what the USB drive was for.

"Genius product!"

Just looking at it once, Du Jiabin basically had an understanding of the USB drive. With his technical understanding of storage, he naturally understood that the creativity of the USB drive far exceeded the technology!

Walter also had shining eyes. He had already thought of various uses for the USB drive. The appearance of this thing is absolutely beneficial to Microsoft, which can make Microsoft's office software transmit and use more conveniently, and the application range is almost several times larger.

"This is the Shenzhou USB drive, and it is also the second new product that Dongling Gao Ke is about to appear at the press conference!"

"Microsoft is willing to get the agency rights of Shenzhou USB drive in North America. If Dongling Gao Ke is willing to authorize the USB drive patent, Microsoft is willing to pay the corresponding authorization fee!"

Walter said directly, wanting to get the entire agency rights of Shenzhou USB drive in North America. He had a hunch that this thing would absolutely sell well in America!
