Ellison's public service announcement left everyone stunned.

1 billion and 1 million yuan, plus a fraction of 1 lira. Such a huge amount of money was actually used to publish public service advertisements. This was really beyond everyone's expectation. All the CEOs were stunned. This is too exaggerated! Let alone 1 billion.

US dollars, even if it is 100 million US dollars for public service announcements, these companies are reluctant to part with it. But Ellison is so generous, he is not sick!

"Okay, today the auction is over, thank you everyone for your compliments. Of course, here, I personally express my sincere admiration for Mr. Ellison's charity behavior. Here, I announce that I will spend 1% of my personal income this year.

%, invest in public welfare undertakings. As Ellison said, there is only one earth, and we must treat our cue ball well, which is also our only home for mankind!" Lin Feng said loudly.

Hiss! Many netizens squatting in front of the screen took a sharp breath of cold air. How much money can Lin Feng earn in a year? Although there is no accurate estimate from the outside world, companies like Lin Feng conservatively estimate that they can bring Lin Feng income in a year.

The income of tens of billions of dollars, this one percent, is hundreds of millions of dollars. Although it is not as much as Ellison's $1 billion this time, Ellison used the name of Oracle, and Lin Feng

It is a personal investment, but there is a gap between the two parties.

In an instant, Lin Feng's image became even more glorious, making people look up to him even more.

Humph! Many CEOs groaned, Lin Feng was once again trying to please the public and fooling the world. He took this opportunity to promote his own glorious image and please the public. However, many CEOs cursed in their hearts.

But they also know that unless they also allocate corresponding funds for charity, today's auction will completely become a platform for Lin Feng and Ellison to establish a glorious image and declare themselves. And they will all become Lin Feng and Ellison.

Ellison's sidekick.

They are unhappy, but helpless. They don’t have that much money to do public service advertisements. Businessmen are looking for profits, and they are here to pursue profits, rather than doing public service advertisements out of charity. Of course, it’s not that they don’t do public service advertisements.

But that would only be done when you have earned enough money. It is not like today, when you are full of anger and do charity.

The auction ended like this! But the subsequent turmoil did not end.

Ellison invested US$1 billion and 1 lira, beating Microsoft and Intel's price by 1 lira, and won the advertising spot of the 'Second World' for the next year. This scene made everyone talk about it.

.1 lira advantage to win, this is probably the auction with the smallest advantage among all secret auctions. Generally speaking, if the advantage is too small, there may be insider information. But in this auction, there is no insider information. Not only

In full view of the public, and it was broadcast live around the world. More than 1 billion people around the world witnessed tonight's auction. Under such circumstances, how could there be any insider information? Especially this secret auction, which was also a sudden decision and a temporary initiative. Then

It's even less possible to cheat.

This can only show that Ellison is too shrewd to count the trump cards of 'Microsoft' and 'Intel', so he can win with an advantage of 1 lira! Naturally, Ellison is praised by most of the media. After all, the media has always

He likes to beat up lost dogs, and his ridicule of 'Microsoft' and 'Intel' is almost overwhelming.

"Fuck! Fuck!" Ballmer looked angry. This time he was furious. He could accept losing, but he couldn't accept losing at the price of 1 lira. Also unacceptable with him was Intel

's president Paul Otellini. This time the two companies joined forces, but were defeated by Ellison by 1 lira. How can this be accepted?

"They must be colluding, definitely!" Otellini shouted.

"Collusion? How to collude? This was all secretly filmed in public, how could there be collusion?" Ballmer smiled bitterly. He initially suspected collusion, but after carefully watching the video, it was impossible to collude.

"If it wasn't a conspiracy, how could it be 1 Lira? How could Ellison estimate so accurately and beat us by 1 Lira!" Otellini said with a ferocious look on his face.

Losing 1 lira to Ellison was a complete disgrace. He couldn't accept it.

"Paul, you can't say this without evidence. You have to know that Ellison is not a vegetarian. If he gets caught, we will be in trouble." Ballmer shook his head helplessly, although he was extremely unwilling to do so.

But without evidence, he can't say anything.

"Huh!" Otellini spat helplessly, "Steve, I think our two companies are in a very difficult situation now. Lin Feng's 'Pangu' relies on the advantages of 'Second World' games to dominate the operating system market.

Its share is increasing. Although it still cannot catch up with Microsoft's operating system share, it may be surpassed by Lin Feng in the long run. Especially now that Oracle is also fully supporting Pangu. Although Oracle's

The database software also supports two systems at the same time, but judging from the trend, I am afraid that Oracle will only support Pangu operating system in the future. At that time, the situation will not be good!"

Ballmer nodded. This is what Microsoft is extremely afraid of right now. It is also the reason why Microsoft, for the first time, is fully developing the next generation operating system when Vista was just launched. In Ballmer's view, I'm afraid

'vista' will become the shortest-lived operating system in the history of 'Microsoft'. It will end up like 'winme' that was once launched on the market.

"What do you want to do?" Ballmer asked.

"Currently, Lin Feng controls the technology of combining computer hardware and software into one. Unless our two companies merge, it will be difficult to defeat him in this field." Paul Otellini glanced at Ballmer.

"Otellini, if your company is willing to be acquired by us, we will be very happy." Ballmer stated the attitude of 'Microsoft' as soon as he opened his mouth. Merger is not impossible, but it must be led by 'Microsoft'. This is 'Microsoft'

The dignity of Microsoft is also the pride of Microsoft.

Otellini just rolled his eyes. 'Microsoft' is proud of 'Microsoft', so 'Intel' doesn't have the pride of 'Intel'!

"Steve, if our hardware and software cannot be perfectly integrated into one, then our advantages in our respective fields will be equaled by Lin Feng. Coupled with Lin Feng's dominance in the gaming field, we may be

Become the party eliminated by the market. Even if it is not eliminated, it will become the weak party." Otellini said with a solemn face.

He was by no means an alarmist, but told the truth.

The computer market is changing rapidly. In terms of hardware, Intel's technology is far ahead, but it does not mean that it will always be the leader. Especially now, the rapid development of 'CPU' has been dragged down by the performance of other hardware on the computer. Today's CPU,

Most of them can already meet the needs of daily applications, and increasing the speed does not actually mean much. For most computer users today, daily applications cannot be watching movies, chatting online, playing games, and occasionally doing word processing. In this case

, the current CPU is already sufficient for the application. Users do not need to spend more money on the CPU.

What really needs to be improved now is the speed of computer hard drives and the performance shortcomings of meeting the increasingly large number of games, that is, the demand for graphics cards. In these two areas, Lin Feng has an advantage. As time goes by, Lin Feng

Wind's advantage will become greater and greater. By then, no matter how great the CPU advantage of Intel is, it will not be able to solve the embarrassing situation of high CPU performance but poor overall machine performance.

At the same time, in terms of software, the current 'Microsoft' system does have a larger market, but in terms of ease of use, 'Pangu' is simpler and clearer. Although it lacks many functions, those functions are within the reach of most users in their lifetime.

It is useless. 'Microsoft' relies on the habits of users and the support of most software companies to come out on top. This is also the reason why many companies want to challenge 'Microsoft' but ultimately fail. But Lin Feng is different.

Games with the sure-killer 'Second World'. 'Second World' games perform significantly better under 'Pangu' than under 'Microsoft' system, allowing players to instinctively choose to support 'Pangu'.

Now ‘Microsoft’ is still dominant, but what about the future? What will happen when players gradually get used to ‘Pangu’ and more software companies start to support ‘Pangu’?

"Paul, what do you want?" Ballmer said silently.

"It's very simple. Both of us should sit together calmly and discuss how to cooperate. This is what we must do now, unless we want to watch Lin Feng eventually surpass us and use us as a stepping stone." Otellini said.

Ballmer was silent for a long time and finally nodded.

"Does this matter represent the attitude of the board of directors of Intel?" Ballmer asked.

Otellini nodded.

"Before coming this time, our board of directors has passed a resolution to cooperate with you. Now we are waiting for your reply." Otellini said in a deep voice, "Compared to your slowness, we are more aware of Lin Feng's danger.

.If we want to defeat this terrible opponent, we must cooperate, not alliance! We need real cooperation!"

"I will convene a board meeting to discuss this matter as soon as possible. Once the results are available, I will give you a reply as soon as possible!" Ballmer said in a deep voice.

Otellini frowned. Ballmer's attitude was not enough to satisfy him, but he also knew that when a company gets bigger and bigger, its response will always be slower. Just like 'Intel', there have been many opportunities to eradicate it in the past.

Lin Feng, but the price he paid was too high. When he hesitated, Lin Feng finally acquired 'nvidia' and completed the monopoly on the graphics card market technology.

Now, 'Microsoft' is not enough to wake up. However, Otellini believes that 'Microsoft' will definitely wake up. After all, their founder is Bill Gates. Although he is no longer involved in the management of 'Microsoft', he is by no means a mortal. (
