<h4>Chapter 1385 – Break them up</h4>


    When Qiu Bojun and the rest are having headaches, Feng Yu is in his office listening to Kameda Masao’s report.


    “You are saying that you had rejected the cooperation between Google and Yahoo, using Google is getting listed as an excuse. Now, they are offering new terms?”


    “Yes. Softbank has ns to enter the Chinese IT market. They felt that if they can control the PC, software, inte, telmunication, etc., they can get endless high profits.” Kameda Masao replied.


    Feng Yu burst outughing. They want to control the Chinese market?! Am I invisible?


    “They nned to work with several major corporations to attack the Chinese market together. They target major Chinesepanies, like Lenovo Group, Wind and Rain Electronics, Sina, and many otherpanies.”


    “Oh? Whichpanies have they contacted?”


    Feng Yu got a fright when Kameda Masao reads out a long list.


    Softbank is indeed the top IT investmentpany. Many top ITpanies are willing to cooperate with them.


    “You are saying that Softbank is working with Microsoft too?”


    “Yes. Softbank is Microsoft’s distributor, and they also own some of Microsoft Japan’s branch shares. They are involved in Microsoft’s recent moves towards the Chinese market recently.”


    Microsoft and Softbank had joined hands, which is not good news for Feng Yu. Both are powerfulpanies, and it’s not as simple as one plus one equals two.


    “Alright. Carry on with your work, and let me know firsthand if you have any new information. Oh, can AIWA mobile phone be introduced to the Japanese market?”


    Aiwa Electronics has been producing a batch of AIWA brand mobile phones for the Japanese market. After all, AIWA has many retail outlets and has a group of loyal fans. This phone model is also focused on music. It has strong music features, like bigger storage, better music quality, longer usage time, etc.


    “Alright. I will use my status as Softbank’s Director to stop ourpetitors from suppressing us. We are not afraid of fairpetition.”


    Feng Yu is satisfied with Kameda Masao’s attitude. AIWA will disrupt the Japanese mobile phone market, and it should be interesting. Although he might not make money, this move will affect Sony Ericsson, Sharp, and other Japanese phone manufacturers. Anyone will panic if their home ground is invaded.


    It’s just like Feng Yu always says the Chinese market is the most important. Although overseas markets are good, thepany must gain a strong foothold in China before venturing out.


    Whenever Feng Yu’spanies introduce a new product, it will beunch in China first. It will eitherunch at the same time orter in other markets.


    The Chinese market is Feng Yu’s roots and must never be taken away.


    .......


    “Manager Feng, Lenovo Kingsoft is facing a lot of difficulties. Manypetitors had appeared suddenly. Some are even unheardpanies, and they introduced many good products. We suspect someone is behind this.”


    Liu Chuanzhi is worried as Lenovo Kingsoft’s potential might be higher than Lenovo PC within the group. IBM is also switching its focus from hardware to software.


    Lenovo Group focuses on both hard and software, and any issues with either side will affect the wholepany.


    “I know about this. Thepany behind this is Japan’s Softbank group. They should be supporting those unknownpanies you mentioned. Oh, Softbank and Microsoft have always been partners. We had overlooked this in the past.”


    Softbank and Microsoft are working together? Liu Chuanzhi suddenly felt frustrated after hearing this. Lenovo Kingsoft is growing rapidly, and they appeared suddenly to stop them.


    “But don’t worry. Kameda Masao is one of Softbank’s Directors and will provide thetest information to us. Softbank and Microsoft are trying to enter the Chinese market with their software and intepanies. But what if their interests collide?” Feng Yu asked with a smile.


    Both cooperatingpanies have ovepping businesses, and who should give in? Microsoft is used to be the market leader, and they will never give in.


    But Softbank has a wide range of businesses in different industries. For example, they are better at the Inte than Microsoft. They will also not give in.


    Cracks will form in their cooperation. Even if this is a minor crack, Kameda Masao can make stir up troubles between them.


    It’s hard to get twopanies to cooperate, but there are many ways to break them up.


    Feng Yu will not worry about anypanies if these twopanies are not in cooperation. This is his home ground!


    “What ovepping businesses do they have?”


    “They arepetitors for Mobile phone application software, video yer, inte browsers, and PC application software. Whoever’s browser can dominate the market can receive high traffic and advertisement profits. It will be arge amount. We shall start with the inte browser. We willpete with them.”


    “Inte browsers? But Lenovo Kingsoft does not have an inte browser.” Liu Chuanzhi is confused.


    “Lenovo Kingsoft does not have, but Baidu has. I had persuaded Li Yanhong, Wang Zhixi, and the rest to develop an inte browser without using IE core. Our concept is stronger than IE and will be much better than Yahoo’s browser. Oh, Yahoo’stest browser is also not using IE core.”


    “Will Yahoo help them If we publicize IE browser’s ws? What if Yahoo joins in to trash Microsoft at this time? Do you think they can carry on with their cooperation?”


    “But why would Yahoo join in against Microsoft at this time?”


    “Because of Kameda Masao.”


    Kameda Masao might not achieve more difficult matters. Still, it’s not a problem for him to represent Softbank to criticize Microsoft. As for a reason, it’s because Paul Allen had humiliated Kameda Masao in public previously.


    Although Kameda Masao will be issuing this statement in his capacity, his Softbank Director status will make it different.


    If no one raises an issue about it, Feng Yu will arrange someone to blow it up.


    “Then I don’t need to worry this much. Oh, we have new buyers for our Lenovo Kingsoft smartphone operating system. We intend to give them the authorization rights.”


    “A new buyer? Whichpany is it?”


    “Korea’s LG Group, Siemens Group, and a new National-level State-owned mobile phone manufacturer call Hua Xin. They are manufacturing Walkie-talkie in the past.”


    “Authorize them. This will also expand our faction and give us some profits. You should attend Baidu’s browserunch the day after tomorrow. Old Zhong and Kameda Masao will be attending, and there will be foreign reporters.”
