Microsoft CEO de la busy "China line"

Satia Nadra Satya Nadella, who joined Microsoft in 1992, has been to China several times before, but as CEO of Microsoft, it is the first time for Nadra and China.

The big backdrop is that today's Microsoft is undergoing a Chinese government antitrust review, and Nadra's trip to China has been widely interpreted as an important means of easing relations with the Chinese government.

However, according to the current public itinerary, from a business point of view, from a dialogue with Chinese students, the unveiling of the "Microsoft New Horizons" project, a speech at Tsinghua University and a summit of Microsoft's high-end cloud clients, the company's overall guidance strategy for "moving first, cloud first" was highlighted at the operational level.

Interestingly, yesterday morning at the Cloud Customer summit praised Microsoft cloud Computing in China far more than expected, the industry has news that afternoon, Nadra will meet with Millet technology CEO Lei. However, Microsoft did not respond directly to this, but said that the above time period will be Nadra himself private arrangement time.

In addition, Microsoft China's relevant officials also told the first financial daily reporter, the two-day "China line" arrangement, the next day (September 26), Barnard will go to Shenzhen and the local mobile equipment manufacturers to communicate with the leaders.

The first stop of Overseas bank

In fact, this is Nadra first official visit to other countries in the name of Microsoft's CEO, and China is the first stop.

Nadra in the Seattle Chamber of Commerce's annual luncheon to publicly express expectations of the "China Line", he said that China is showing great market opportunities, will be learning to visit China, understand how Microsoft can develop with China.

Before coming to China, Nadra also shared with Microsoft employees a book he had recently read, the Geography of thought (geo-thinking: How Asians and Westerners differ), according to Microsoft's Chinese sources.

From the timeline, the "China line" arrangement is quite substantial.

September 25, Nadra's first stop was chosen to meet with the 8 Chinese players who won the Microsoft Innovation Cup global student competition. Then to the Microsoft in Zhongguancun, Beijing, and delivered a brief speech of only 9 minutes.

In his speech, Nadra said that Microsoft is turning to "move first" and "cloud first", so that society in the future can better realize the connection between people, people and things, these technological changes will also create more opportunities. Microsoft will continue to invest in China, which has many projects and helps China with technological improvements.

For the future, Nadra points out that Microsoft will help more Chinese start-ups grow, incubate innovative products and boost China's innovative development.

Nadra also held a client summit with nearly 200 Chinese cloud industry practitioners and partners.

According to Microsoft, as the first successful commercial in China, the international public cloud, Windows Azure, operated by the century, currently has more than 20,000 customers in China, while the number of Office 365 users of the century-connected business has more than 400. The growth and quality of cloud computing in China is far more than expected.

Nadra's response to Microsoft's government antitrust investigation is that "the most important success of Microsoft is the value we create," but the process cannot be smooth. ”

"Microsoft's attitude is to insist on contributing to the world, so Microsoft will continue to do so, in the United States, and in the European Union and China." I am very proud of what Microsoft has done and how we have handled these issues. Nadra explained.

Move End conjecture

In the IT industry, nearly 40-year-old Microsoft has been an established enterprise. How to make Microsoft Glow Youth is the problem that Nadra has to face after taking office.

"The industry doesn't respect tradition, it only respects innovation. "Of course, this is not to ruin the tradition, but to say we can't lie in yesterday's performance," He stressed again at the podium of Tsinghua University yesterday. Microsoft's past glory is obvious to all, but we know that every achievement is made from innovation. When Gates created Microsoft, our products had only programming tools, and if we just followed the tradition, there would be no such wide range of products and services as Microsoft today. ”

In a letter to all staff in July 2014, Nadra the future of Microsoft: in a "move first, Cloud First" world, Microsoft is a company that creates productivity and platform.

And behind this, Microsoft decided this year to the screen size of 9 inches below the terminal free operating system, to Shenzhen as the center of the Pearl River Delta Electronics industry chain to invest in a heavy note, hoping to Google operating system, such as "Wintel" mobile areas can get a comeback opportunity.

Nadra September 26 will meet with the Shenzhen Eco-circle Partners, around the Windows platform hardware ecosystem innovation to discuss the hope for Microsoft's terminal strategy to collide some new sparks.

Before leaving for Shenzhen, it was reported that Nadra will meet with Millet Technology founder Lei. Will this be a precursor to two companies coming together? However, the news that let the industry's imagination is not confirmed by Microsoft.
