Chapter 570: The Internet Giant Who Was Trapped
In the future economic structure of the world, Internet giants will occupy a very important position, including Apple, which has earned a lot of profits and formed a huge technology oligarchy. The situation in China is even worse, and it is almost impossible for Internet high-tech start-ups to survive if they do not rely on giants, and if they are dependent on giants, they cannot live or die by themselves. From group buying, taxi-hailing, takeaway, and sharing bicycles, countless online and offline businesses are struggling to survive. Today's headlines can stand out and be a school of its own, but Zhang Yimin's practice of no good and evil in science and technology also has great drawbacks, although a lot of manual review was recruited in the later stage, but the essence has not changed, it is still from the weakness of human nature, and it has deepened the user's prejudice against the world, and I don't know if I can adjust it. Otherwise, with the addictive nature of today's headlines, there is not much difference from electronic drugs.
Zhou Shi has made many changes to the American Internet over the years, especially after Amazon acquired YouTube, which has caused a lot of changes. Google, which has deep pockets, has launched its own UGC video website, and has continued to acquire many small websites, but YouTube, which has already taken the advantage, has not fallen into copyright disputes, and still maintains rapid development, occupying an absolute leading position in the global UGC video market. Google's Android system, even if it is open source, does not account for half of the smartphone operating system, does not have its own browser, and does not develop ChromeOS computers. There are all kinds of black technologies, but there are not many of them of practical value.
But the fate of YouTube can be imagined, Amazon is under heavy financial pressure for this, and its losses continue to expand. And because there is not enough money to invest in the copyright market, it affects the direction of development. In the investment of Amazon Cloud, it has not caught up with the investment of Time Cloud. If this situation lasts for a long time, the benefits to Time Cloud can be imagined.
Apple's development has also been greatly affected by Zhou Shi, Nortel's network patent has not been awarded to the IPhone, it has been subject to patent litigation by many traditional mobile phone companies and patent trolls. Although the iPhone 4 is still amazing, it is not much more than the Fruit Shell phone. Although this year's sales have grown rapidly, they are dwarfed by those of the husks. Restricted by patents, the development of the iPhone has been hit hard.
Apple, Google, and Amazon have all suffered varying degrees of losses because of his influence, and their market value will also be greatly affected in the future, so Microsoft has maintained its steady pace. However, Microsoft, which has not yet transformed into the cloud computing cloud market, is not much to fear. It's just that Zhou Shi doesn't have much to do with a company like Microsoft, and their moat is too powerful. If Zhou Shi had been born more than ten years earlier, he might have been able to copy the methods of the Android app market to the Linux system. At the same time, the use of open source office software directly impacts Microsoft's two largest sources of profit. As for now, the most effective way is the popularization of mobile Internet and cloud computing, if everything is based on cloud in the future, or like Zhou Shi used to fool people, "everything is based on browsers". The role of the operating system will gradually weaken over time. This is also the reason why Microsoft popularized the genuine free in10 at the beginning, and the weakening and death of the role of the operating system is almost an inevitable trend. This is not to say that there will be no operating system in the future, but that the role of the operating system will become less and less. It won't be another Microsoft that will be defeated, but technological progress will lead to a change in the way business is done. It won't be AMD that beats Intel, it's probably ARM, it's probably quantum computers.
Google's power lies in its search engine, but in the era of mobile Internet and artificial intelligence, the role of search is getting smaller and smaller. If it weren't for the Android system, YouTube, and the accumulation of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, which brought it plenty of room for imagination, Google's market value would not be so high. If Microsoft hadn't fully shifted to cloud computing and invested heavily in artificial intelligence, it wouldn't have had a chance to catch up. Zhou Shi actually wanted to dig Nadella, who brought change to Microsoft, to Time, but unfortunately the attraction of Time Holdings was not enough, and the Indian in a high position did not think about it for long before rejecting Zhou Shi's invitation.
"What? Google is developing a browser with its own kernel?" Zhou Shi came to Time in the United States, due to the adjustment of business, Time Holdings will focus on the international market, Zhou Jingren, Zhang Yaqin, Wu En are mostly in the United States, although they are mainly responsible for technology research and development, but Silicon Valley is also a territory that has to be paid attention to. In fact, India is also very important, although they mainly outsource software, but long-term talent training, the quality of software developers is still very high.
"That's right, because we turned down Google's acquisition and they wanted to develop a browser of their own. "Pichai
"Is it necessary for them to do this?" Zhou Shi, Time Chrome browser has always been a player of various new technologies, is one of the formulators of Html5 technical standards, and the update speed is amazing, although there are many browsers based on Chrome's secondary development on the market, they have been defeated by the update system of time, and all fake and shoddy products have basically lost their living space. Even in the Huaxia market, because it is not blocked by the government, the situation in the browser market is similar. In terms of market share, Time Chrome has surpassed the Firefox browser to become the second in the world, not to mention that now, the browser project has basically achieved revenue balance, why does Google think it still has a chance?
"I don't know, with our current market advantage and the speed of improvement of technology, unless they have any fundamental improvements and great breakthroughs in the browser, otherwise our market position is difficult to be shaken by them. "Pichai
"Could it be that their opponent is not us, but Microsoft?" Zhou Shi guessed that the development of Time Chrome was not only due to the company's programming efforts, but also to many enthusiastic people. Benefiting from semi-public welfare projects such as GitHub, Time Holdings will still be very respected in the open source software industry.
"It is possible that both our Chrome browser and Firefox browser are much more advanced than IE in terms of technology, and the existence of IE actually hinders the development of many eb2.0 websites and Internet multimedia technology. "Pichai
"This is one of the reasons why we developed a browser with its own kernel, otherwise YouTube and Friends would not have developed now. Zhou Shi, the user experience improvement brought by Time Chrome's special optimization of Friends.com and YouTube is also one of his means of market competition. Later, Google reversed it to make websites with huge traffic such as youtube negatively optimize Microsoft's Edge browser, and Penguin's Glory of Kings also used similar methods, if there is tangible evidence, you can actually sue for monopoly or unfair competition, etc., but ......
Google, which has been delayed for a few years, wants to make waves in the browser market again, and it does not put much pressure on time, and some things can not be succeeded by thinking about it.
