It's worth noting that Ma Huateng and Ma Yun were previously like kings who never met.
Especially with Robin Li, all the heads of BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) are now present.
"BAT is a relic of the past; the 'B' in BAT now stands for ByteDance."
ByteDance is the company behind ByteDance.
"The last time I saw the founders of BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) in a group photo was at the Pengcheng IT Leaders Summit in 2017, when Wu Ying brought the three of them together for a photo."
"Damn, there are still people who remember Wu Ying. So many years have passed. Wu Ying was a figure from twenty years ago. It's been so many years."
Wu Ying was the founder of Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service). After Xiaolingtong disappeared from the public eye in China, Wu Ying also vanished from public discourse.
"Why does Yang Yuanqing look so out of place here?"
"Lenovo's market share in China is getting lower and lower. When our company needs to replace computers, we no longer use Lenovo."
"In our company, it's the same. In recent years, we've either invested in Huawei or Inspur, and we basically don't consider Lenovo anymore."
Banks take into account the need for employees to travel for work, so most banks buy laptops for office computers.
The procurement of office computers by the head office of a large state-owned bank over the past two decades also reflects the changes of the times.
It started with IBM laptops, then HP, then Lenovo, and in recent years it's been Huawei.
When will Lenovo die?
Most people deeply resent Lenovo, partly because Lenovo has benefited greatly from government and enterprise procurement but has hardly developed any core technologies.
From a rational perspective, it is unacceptable for consumers to have inconsistent pricing for the same product in China and abroad, with higher prices in China and lower prices abroad.
The public outcry did not affect Zheng Li's daily life.
The next day, I met and talked with Bill Gates and Pichai separately.
The main conversation with Gates was about a special version of the Windows system and its launch on VR.
And whether Microsoft can transfer the copyright of its overseas operating system for brain-computer interface VR to Microsoft.
Microsoft has already completed the development of the former, and users can use some basic computer functions in VR.
The latter is obviously impossible. The operating system for brain-computer interface VR belongs to Kechuang Future, and it is impossible for them to give up the market, not even the overseas market.
Microsoft couldn't offer Zheng Li any incentives.
At the end, Gates said:
"Microsoft missed the era of mobile internet, and now it seems it's about to miss the era of metaverse."
I deeply feel that I am getting old. The moment when virtual reality technology matures will be the moment when Microsoft's time to step down from the stage of history will be over.
For him, the number of Microsoft shares he holds is actually not that many; his stake in Microsoft is less than one percent.
At its peak, Gates owned nearly 50 percent of Microsoft's shares.
Gates has been selling Microsoft shares every year for many years, at one point selling around 80 million shares annually.
Therefore, the demise of Microsoft will not have a financial impact on him, but rather a sense of loss as the era he created is about to come to an end.
