"Mr. Chairman, what is the current situation in the instant messaging software market? Has our Microsoft made a good layout?" A director asked worriedly, "We can't make the mistakes we have made in 51 Search!"

When it comes to 51 Search, Microsoft is depressed.

Because 51 Search was once placed on Microsoft's bed, Microsoft has even sent executives to negotiate the acquisition of 51.

If the acquisition was successful at that time, then 51 Search, the strongest search engine in the Internet era, became a subsidiary of Microsoft. How terrifying is Microsoft's stock price now!

It is estimated that it will double at least. After all, the stock price of 51 Search has reached the level of US$102 billion, which is less than US$30 billion away from Microsoft's stock price.

At that time, the damn executive actually gave up the acquisition of 51 Search because of the price of tens of millions of dollars and gave up this super network company worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Speaking of this, all Microsoft shareholders have the intention to kill people, and as for the executive, they were naturally separated from him as soon as possible.

Because of giving up the infamous mistake of 51 Search, the executive probably never had an Internet company or a financial company in his life would hire him.

Although he is indeed very innocent, even if you let Bill Gates personally host the acquisition, he would probably be reluctant to leave the tens of millions of dollars at that time.

After all, these tens of millions of dollars were enough to build three 51 searches at that time. Who can calculate that 51 searches have increased by thousands of times in just three years. It can only be said that in any era, Internet technology stocks are very magical things.

Ahem, let's get back to the point.

Because of the failure of 51 Search, Microsoft shareholders did not know much about instant messaging software, but they still thought of 51 Search as soon as they heard about it.

It can be said that these shareholders have a very keen sense of smell.

"We are already planning, and MSN is the instant messaging software we launched!" Bill Gates replied, "In the mid-1997, we launched MSN. Now we have a total of 18 million registered users, 10.25 million active users who have logged in within a month, and 3.28 million super active users with a login interval of no more than three days!"

"This is a good result!" Hearing that MSN already has such a huge customer, the directors all smiled, but Bill Gates shook his head and said, "But our results are only second in the market."

"What, and instant messaging software can surpass our results!" A director was shocked?

"Yes, that's the instant messaging software called QQ, which has information that we can be confident in. QQ has 25 million registered users, 13.25 million active users who have logged in within a month, and 5.8 million super active users!" said Bill Gates.

"Fortunately, the gap is not too big!" A director breathed a sigh of relief.

"But we are indeed behind, why do we lose to each other?" another director asked again.

"Because we were one step late! QQ was one year earlier than us, and for nearly 10 months, QQ had no competitors and could enjoy the entire market exclusively!" Bill Gates explained.

"That's not surprising. It's already very good that we can catch up with it a year later!" The directors nodded and praised, but Bill Gates said with a worry-faced expression, "We can't be so optimistic. Currently, QQ's data is in full swing, and the other party has begun to conduct large-scale marketing and promotion in this market around the world."

"For example, the marketing promotion conducted in Fuso last month was very effective, and it has almost occupied the entire Fuso market. It is difficult for our MSN to obtain the market in Fuso!"

"At the same time, countries around the world can also see QQ's publicity, which means that QQ has begun to establish a publicity offensive, and wants to defeat our MSN and dominate the entire market!" Bill Gates sighed and said.

"What if he advertises? We have occupied so many markets, but they can still take them away!" a director grinned and said disdainfully.

"No, they can really steal our market!" Unexpectedly, Bill Gates shook his head and said seriously, "Dear Mr. Director, the software is different from other software!"

"Other software can exist at the same time, and it will be difficult for users to take it away once they get it. But instant messaging software is different!" Bill Gates sighed. "Instant messaging software is a software that communicates between people. So whether a software is practical does not depend on whether the software functions are comprehensive, but how many friends you have also used this software."

"Let's make a very simple assumption that a person can contact 20 real friends on QQ. At the same time, on our MSN, there are only 5 real friends. So which software do you think this person often uses?" Bill Gates asked.

"Of course it's QQ!" the directors said without hesitation.

"That's right. If one software encounters more friends, then the user will naturally tend to use one software, thereby reducing the use time of another software."

"This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that there are 5 friends who use MSN. When they find that there is one more real friend they can contact on MSN, and there is one more friend they can contact on QQ, what will they choose?"

"Suck!" After hearing Bill Gates' words, all the directors breathed a sigh of relief. This scene was very scary when you thought about it!

"So, instant messaging software is different from other software and cannot be compatible! If any software can occupy enough users, the software itself does not need to take any monopoly measures. Users of other software will naturally give up the instant messaging software they originally used and gather in this software at the same time."

"In the end, more than 90% of users will be concentrated in the same instant messaging software, and the entire market becomes unshakable. No software can defeat the giant-like opponent. Unless they have the ability to attract all the Internet users in the world to their own software at the same time, these users will go back sooner or later!"

"Dear directors, instant messaging software is a winner-takes-all market. As long as one person wins, he can occupy the entire market, and other opponents have no other ending except graves!" Bill Gates finally concluded.

Winner-take-all is a noun that all Microsoft people are very familiar with, because the world's biggest winner-take-all product is the computer system.

Whoever wins will take over the entire graphical interface system market, without a second force!
