After completing the share exchange with Dell, Michael Dell said he was ready to take the company public.

Henry very agrees, after Dell goes public, it will develop faster and help Henry more. In order to help Dell, Henry's company will promote Dell, and the specific work will be discussed by Michael Dell and Geely Hurt. Henry then went to Netscape and asked them to develop a feature that Henry loved - multi-tab web browsing!

Netscape Browser is easy to use by using multiple tabs and opening multiple websites without having to search for them in the taskbar!

Henry's suggestion was unanimously endorsed by Netscape, and soon a team was assembled to develop it.

"When AOL and Apple release the AL browser, you guys will add this new feature!" Henry ordered.

"Okay! That's a great feature!" Jonathan Jackson, CEO of Netscape.

At that time, Netscape will add a collection function, multi-tab website browsing function, web page fast loading technology (the speed of opening the browser has changed from the original 3 seconds reaction time to 1 second)!

"While developing technology and developing new features, don't forget to register a patent, even if the AL browser is released, we will kill it in the patent!"

"Chairman, we understand, don't worry!" Jonathan Jackson nodded!

"Hmm. Henry nodded, he attaches the most importance to patents, which the whole company knows, but whenever there is any new technology and new function, patent registration must be a must!

……

On March 15, 1988, AOL and Apple launched the AL browser. AL Browser is a complete copy of Netscape Browser, but the interface has been slightly changed.

Without saying a word, Henry directly asked Netscape to take AOL and Apple to court.

Steve Case is a trickster, throwing in a thick pile of technical documentation and related materials to refute and prove that he didn't plagiarize. It would have taken a lot of time for the court and Netscape to study these materials alone! However, this lawsuit is obvious, and Netscape has won steadily! Netscape is not simple, and it has sent 10 technicians and five lawyers to make up its mind to win the lawsuit in the shortest possible time!

At the same time, Netscape Explorer was updated online. Not only is the response speed much faster, but the collection and multi-tab page are even more popular among netizens!

AL browser suddenly fell a big heel, although there are two companies online and Apple to promote together, but users don't like to use it at all, decisively unloaded!

Because Apple computers have AL browsers installed, but there is no Netscape browser, sales have plummeted!

Now that more and more people are starting to access the Internet, you don't have a good browser, who will buy your computer?

Apple is in no way!

Microsoft launched their latest system in a few days, Windows 2.3, the system uses a large number of Apple system interfaces, Microsoft absorbs the strengths of others, take its essence, after the system is launched, it is very popular, but it is extremely squeezing the living space of Apple computers! Apple's performance has declined step by step, and the stock price has fallen again and again!!

When Scully and Apple saw that Microsoft's new system Windows 2.3 was menacing, they immediately repented and regretted that they had agreed to allow Microsoft to use some of their system interface patents! Scully and Apple were brazen and took Microsoft to court in disregard of the contract they had signed with Microsoft, claiming that Microsoft infringed Apple's patents!

But this lawsuit is a sure lose, Microsoft has a contract in hand, and I'm not afraid of how you Apple will sue! And the reason why Apple wants to sue Microsoft is to carry out some public relations work and publicize to the outside world that Apple's operating system is the best, and Microsoft's Windows 2.3 is an infringement and piracy, so you don't want to use it! But Apple is only doing these things in vain, and it still hasn't changed Apple's status quo!

At the same time as AOL launched the AL browser, their newly developed email was also embedded in the AL browser. The fate of this email is the same as that of the AL browser, and it is rarely used. And, there is no doubt that AOL launched graphical interface email so quickly, apparently without spending time on the patent of global online email!

Henry unceremoniously asked Global Online to sue AOL!

Since its establishment, Global Online has almost pinned AOL to the ground! The names of these two companies are so similar and so-for-tat, that the newspaper media are most happy to see them fighting.

As soon as Global Online took AOL to court, newspapers and media began to publicize it!

"Global Online Sues AOL for Infringement of Graphical Interface Email Patents!"

"Amen, the 'world' is abusing 'the United States' again!"

"AOL is a disgrace to America, a robber, a thief who only infringes on the patents of other companies!!"

AOL ate two lawsuits in a row, and for a while, it was notorious!

If the AL browser is very easy to use, then it is okay. But compared with Netscape Browser, AL Browser is simply a heaven and an underground. That's it, AOL is still embarrassed to plagiarize and infringe, you can't copy a little level?

Apple is a miserable company by AOL, and many Apple computer users complain every day and refuse to use AOL's browser and email! A large number of Apple users even ask for returns. This is the biggest return frenzy Apple has ever encountered since its inception, with hundreds of people running to Apple's door every day to request a return!

Some radicals were so disappointed with Apple that they smashed Apple computers in front of Apple!!

Apple has a hard time, but Apple because of the agreement with AOL, 20% of the shares are not taken for nothing, Apple computers must install AL browser, and they have to help it publicize!

Apple stole chickens and rice, crying to death. Apple's share price has dropped from $55 to $35 per share!

An Apple employee suggested to Sculley, "Since users need Netscape, we can't break the rules." Our contract with AOL only says that we will help them promote their browsers, but it does not say that they can't install other companies' browsers......"

Scully's eyes lit up and he thought about it, this is also a way that is not a way!

"Alright, just do it!" Scully decided!

In order to appease Apple computer users, it is strange that Apple can come up with this solution!

Later, Sculley informed Steve Keys of Apple's decision.

Steve Keys was furious, but he quickly calmed down, knowing that it would not help to lash out. Steve Case hid in his office and pondered for a night, and the next day he held a meeting to announce Apple's decision, then talk about the company's current situation, and finally ask everyone for a solution.

Everyone was very angry that Apple was stepping on two boats, and some company executives even proposed to sue Apple for breach of contract!

However, it was denied by Steve Case.

AOL can only compete with the Nicholas Group by hugging Apple's thighs. Steve Keys was a clever man and a man of patience, and he would never have done anything to destroy the walls.

As for what the solution is, everyone is gossiping and talking a lot, but none of them are good.

Steve Keys sat in his chair, silently listening to everyone's opinions, with no expression on his face. After everyone finished speaking, he spoke: "AOL's is basically an online service, this time, we are really anxious, very hasty to launch the browser, so that it failed miserably! However, as long as we keep doing it, I believe that one day, AL browser will win!!

Steve Case, still not giving up on the browser, pauses and explains his philosophy to the crowd: "Although we lost this time, I ended an experience. That is, our browser needs technology accumulation and innovation, what Netscape Browser can do, we can do, Netscape Browser can't do, we can also do it! No one has me, no one has me! I hope that the next version of AL Browser can surpass Netscape Browser!!

Bang Bang Bang !!

Touched by Steve Case's words, the crowd burst into applause.

"Before we can win the browser, though, AOL faces a difficult choice. Will we continue to fight the global online battle, or will we transform?" said Steve Case.

When Steve Keys finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office was very heavy!

Steve Keys glanced at everyone from left to right, but said confidently: "Global Online has done a good job in email, entertainment and current affairs, and it will be difficult for us to compete with AOL." However, I think we still have a chance to catch up with Global Online!" Steve paused, and then said, "The main purpose of users using the Internet is for business communication, maybe you haven't noticed that Global Online has done very little in terms of finance, so this is a breakthrough point, this is an opportunity, an opportunity for us to re-emerge online!!"

When Steve said the end, his voice was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit!

"That's right!"

"We at AOL will definitely rise again!!"

Everyone present was excited. Clearly, Steve Keys showed them the way!

……

At a time when AOL was in trouble, it suddenly bought a New York-based financial newspaper, which is a bit incomprehensible. Is AOL crazy? Is it stupid to fight a lawsuit? Actually went to buy a financial newspaper?

Henry was also confused by this move by AOL, and did not understand what exactly it was going to do?

But it didn't take long for Henry to know why.

On April 1, AOL held a press conference to announce: "AOL, together with Sequoia Capital, will build the most authoritative and in-depth online information service website - American Financial Network !!!"

Soon after, AOL's business began to increase dramatically!

When Henry saw this, he was stunned: Could it be that AOL is really a small powerhouse that can't be beaten? (Please help vote...... ）
