Rebirth in a Perfect Era Chapter 1414: Microsoft’s God Patching Tool
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, update fast, no pop-up window, free to read!
Dying between Microsoft and Apple is not a day or two.
Although everyone thinks that Microsoft's Windows is copied from Apple's window operation system, it is undeniable that Windows' success in operating the system field is simply unmatched by Apple, and Windows has almost achieved unification. But this dream is ruined by American antitrust laws.
If it is not the antitrust law that is dragging Microsoft ’s hind legs, Microsoft can almost kill it and **** it a few years before it was listed on AppleOSsystem.
Apple is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, relying on anti-monopoly law, and constantly keep court with Microsoft. In the past few years, the US courts used the anti-trust law as a benchmark and decided that Microsoft must provide technical support for Apple for five consecutive years, that is, In order to ensure that Microsoft's Windows will not form a monopoly in the market, the US court ruled that Microsoft must provide a large number of Microsoft's own technical and product support for Apple on AppleMacOS to enhance the viability of AppleMacOS, so as not to be completely destroyed by Windows.
The IE browser on Windows is the best choice for most users Browsing, but there is no IE on MacOS, then Apple's own Safari was not developed, what should I do? Microsoft must develop IE browser for MacOS end for Apple ...
Windows office software is one of the biggest reliance on the commercial field of Windowssystem, and it is also a major reason why users cannot leave Windowssystem. What should I do? Anti-monopoly law is coming, Microsoft must develop office for MacOS for Mac ...
In addition, in order to allow Apple to give up accusing Microsoft of infringing its copyright, Microsoft also invested 150 million USD to invest in Apple, and sent the most critical grain to Apple.
This kind of antitrust law is almost unimaginable in China, which means that TencentQQ has almost monopolized the market. When SinaUC is dying, it can go to court to sue Tencent, and then require Tencent to provide QQ exclusive for SinaUC All kinds of technical support even require that Tencent must invest a certain amount of money in SinaUC, and he still stubbornly tried to kill him. As a result, his opponent was about to die. Not only can he continue to fight, he has to fight back to save He, why?
Because of the antitrust law ...
So, even though Microsoft is a shareholder of Apple, it is a complete enemy in its bones. It is just the referee of the Anti-Monopoly Law that does not allow Microsoft to kill its opponents. There are countless MMP words in Microsoft ’s heart.
What makes Microsoft dream didn't expect is that Apple has a new opponent. This new opponent is a internet company from China. Moreover, this new opponent does not compete with Apple in the operation of system, but on the music player. Broke the back road of Apple!
In the eyes of Microsoft, this **** is so cool! Because the "Anti-Monopoly Law" can not save the life of Apple this time, there are so many music player companies and so many products, even if the iPod is completely killed by Muye Science and Technology, Muye Science and Technology will not violate the "Anti-Monopoly Law"!
Eye looks at Apple stock price crashed, Microsoft immediately decided to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make up for Apple.
So, just before closing, Microsoft issued a public announcement announcing several of its decisions:
First of all, Microsoft will stop the update of IE browser on Mac side, and no longer provide new technical support for IE on Mac side;
Secondly, due to the reorganization of the internal team and business of Microsoft, they can only be forced to suspend the Office R & D support on the Mac side, and they will be opened after the team and business reorganization are completed;
Once again, after discussion, the Microsoft Board of Directors announced the latest reduction plan for the Apple stock and continued to reduce the Apple shares held in its hands.
Microsoft Since 2000, it has been sold off Apple There are not too many stocks left now. It was originally planned to sell out all this year, but I did not think of such a hasty sale, but it happened Muye Science and Technology to Apple Go to war, so Microsoft Decided to Apple Go down the stone.
When the stock price plummeted, the market was most afraid that investors would lose confidence in the stock themselves. If even institutions and major shareholders announced a reduction in their holdings, retail investors would lose even more confidence.
Microsoft ’s knife repair is actually a very thief. Last time the US court imposed a five-year punishment on Microsoft based on antitrust law. It just expired last year. Under normal circumstances, Microsoft does not dare to turn over immediately after the penalty period ends In that case, as soon as Apple turns its head, it can sue Microsoft on the grounds of the "Anti-Monopoly Law", and Microsoft will definitely lose the lawsuit, and it will certainly bear huge compensation, not worth the loss.
However, Microsoft now has a comprehensive strategy to stop supporting IE on the MAC side because the Safari beta developed by Apple has been launched early this year. Since Apple already has a browser, Microsoft has stopped supporting IE to Apple. There will be no violation of antitrust laws, so there is no problem in stopping the update directly.
In addition, Microsoft did not dare to really stop supporting the office on the MAC side, so they took a different route, not to stop the service, but because the internal team and business need to reorganize, passively suspend support. Will continue to serve.
The intention of Microsoft is very simple, even if this suspension of support cannot last too long, this announcement is made at this time, mainly to give Apple already a gloomy market prospect to give a crit damage, if you ca n’t kill it yourself Apple, then Microsoft is certainly happy to see Apple die in the hands of others. In order to fear that Li Mu will not kill him, Microsoft has come to such an indirect knife repair.
The Microsoft's make-up, on a trading day that has been murky for a whole day, caused the Apple and the capital behind it to die at the 6USD mark to suffer a fatal blow in an instant, and the stock price fell like a flood.
The stock price fell from 6.02USD to 5.76USD almost instantaneously. The two major barriers of 5.9 and 5.8USD were not even seen, and they were completely crushed.
Both Wall Street and Silicon Valley are stupid. It is impossible to imagine a star-like Apple company. It was defeated so thoroughly in a round. This also made people start to re-examine Muye Science and Technology and began to awe in this company.
Howling in the market, the share price of Apple is like a plane that has lost its engine and wings. Not only can it not climb, it may not even have a glide, it is simply a straight downward downward rush, which investor is in a sharp decline. Can't bear it.
The plunged stock price is not even dared by institutions, because they look at the business level, Apple has almost no chance of turning over, Mango-ME2 has not been listed before, it is already the case, the stock price at this time can not bottom out, really touch At the end, until Mango-ME2 is officially listed in the United States, at that time, if the anti-dumping tax can help Apple to defend the US domestic market, then the stock price may rebound. If the anti-dumping tax cannot completely resist the trend of Mango-ME2 in the US, Then the iPod business of Apple can enter the soil.
What ’s more terrible is that the other business lines of Apple do n’t see any possibility to stand up and turn the tide. Now that Microsoft is coming out again, the market of MacOS and Apple computers is bound to be affected by Microsoft, which is undoubtedly Adding oil to the fire and adding snow to the snow makes it impossible for Apple to collapse under this double pressure.
In the capital market, good products and strong R & D capabilities are not the most important. The most important thing is to obtain market recognition. Once the market loses confidence, everything else is a bubble.
The internet bubble two or three years ago, the market value of countless companies shrank by more than 90% overnight, and even the giant AOL, whose market value was close to 200 billion USD, was now only one-tenth of the glory period. Less than.
The stock price of Apple has plummeted from 7.36USD to 5.74USD. The stock price has fallen by 22% in one trading day. The cumulative decline in several trading days is nearly 34%. The original market value was nearly 8 billion USD, and now it is barely left. Under five billion USD.
But by comparison, the rate of Apple ’s share price crash is not the most serious stock in the internet industry, not even in the top ten.
However, this is enough to bring a devastating blow to the Apple from top to bottom.
Rao is extremely confident Jobs. At this time, he began to doubt his life. He has always insisted on hardware as the main and software as the supplement, just because he feels that the software development bubble is much bigger than the hardware. Most of the companies that collapsed overnight when the internet bubble burst were software companies.
However, he also didn't expect, hardware-centric Apple, even suffered such a terrible blow. A company from China, with its own strength, has made the market value of Apple shrink by almost three billion USD, not yet Knowing how long the subsequent bearishness will last, it is not possible, Muye Science and Technology will be tit-for-tat this time, will make the market value of Apple shrink by more than half.
Now, there are two problems before Jobs.
First, how to recover the stock price in a short time?
Second, how to reverse the passive business situation in the next few months?
The question of Jobs by shareholders and investors of Apple is nothing more than these two questions.
Sadly, Jobs could n’t find any way to break the game.
He has always insisted on hardware. At this time, he saw the biggest disadvantage of hardware companies-turning around is too slow and the cost is too high!
Hardware companies are like a heavy-duty truck driving fast, let alone turn around, even if there is a little problem with the direction control, the car will be destroyed, and any hardware needs at least a few With a monthly R & D cycle, Mango-ME2 has completed all the design and development work, and it will take time to prepare for the global listing. If Apple now develops a new hardware, and hopes that it can reverse the dilemma, it may be Sex is almost zero.
When Jobs and the entire Apple were in despair, Li Mu, who worked overtime in the office, was staring at the US stock market.
He expected that the stock price of Apple would plunge today, but he did not expect it to plunge so thoroughly, and even more unexpectedly, Microsoft would suddenly stab at Apple at this time.
The stock price of looks at Apple continues to break through the two barriers of 5.7 and 5.6USD. Li Mu checked the latest market value of Apple and has fallen below 5 billion USD.
Unsurprisingly, Apple was still unable to hold the 5.5USD mark at the last moment of the close, closing at the price of 5.47USD, a single day drop of 25.6%, and became the dark Monday of Apple ...
The day ’s killing is over, you ca n’t see any smoke, but you can feel the blood flowing behind you, and this is far from over.
If this continues, the stock price of Apple will only be getting lower and lower, and the market value will only be less and less. If Mango-ME2 is listed, I am afraid that there will be 3 billion USD left.
It seems that there is 3 billion USD left by a company. It seems that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, in fact, shit!
At the current size of Apple, not only are there a lot of people waiting to eat, but there are also a lot of projects under development that are in urgent need of blood transfusions. The stock market's plunge in market value is only one aspect. The subsequent capital chain problem is the biggest explosive package for Apple.
If there is a problem with funds, Apple has a market value of less than 3 billion, and the possibility of refinancing in the context of the decline of the market is very small. At that time, only the looks at capital chain will be broken. Once the capital chain breaks, All projects that have invested a lot of hard work must be abolished, and all talents will be lost. By that time, Apple will either apply for bankruptcy and liquidation, or only ask other big brothers to get the reserve price, but who dares to take this hot potato?
All of a sudden, Li Mu shines.
He said to the Li Ziwei around him: "Help me contact the people of Sequoia Capital and let them immediately send a senior person who is proficient in the operation of US stock capital to my office."
Sequoia is the capital behind Muye Science and Technology and a world-class capital. Li Mu asked them to find someone who is proficient in the operation of US stock capital. After listening to Li Ziwei, he was shocked and asked, "Chief Li, you are ready Is it an IPO? "
Li Mu waved his hand: "It ’s not the time for an IPO, I would like to ask about the feasibility of acquiring Apple, then delisting Apple from NASDAQ, and then achieving privatization ..."
Speaking of which, Li Mu sighed and said, "Microsoft is really a god's sword today!"
