Golden immediately defended: "No! It's a great feature! If a programmer, like us, needs it so badly that we wouldn't be unable to browse the web while waiting for the software to download." Ｘ”

Bill Gates looked at this guy with a smile and almost asked him if he was a software engineer at Microsoft.

Thompson was just as depressed, but there was nothing he could do about this nerdy guy. He waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, the function you said is good." What about the third advantage?"

Golden didn't feel that he was on the wrong side at all, and continued: "The third point is that the goldsun browser has a powerful built-in multi-threaded image download module, and you will get a fast experience when you use the goldsun browser to download files, and the web page opens very quickly. Their download speed is significantly faster than our browser. ”

Seeing that this guy was talking more and more energetically, Bill Gates almost picked up the folder and smashed it.

Golden made a fourth point: "Goldsun has also created a 'new tab page' feature. When browsing the web, we can open multiple web pages under the same browser window, instead of opening a web page like our Internet Explorer, which is very troublesome and the interface is not beautiful. ”

Simeone, who had not spoken, couldn't hold back any longer, and roared angrily: "Golden, shut up for me! Now you tell me, why can they develop such an excellent browser and you can't?! Is it because the company gives you less money, or do you not develop seriously at all, do you always think that your technology is first-class, and other companies and software developers in other countries can't compare to you?"

Only then did Golden come back to his senses and realize that he was boasting about someone else, his competitor.

All of a sudden, his demeanor returned to where it had just begun, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

Bill Gates has the elegance of an entrepreneur, and he also knows that Golden is a technology controller, not really angry with himself. He waved his hand weakly and motioned for Golden to continue testing and comparing.

However, just as Golden turned around, Bill Gates suddenly asked, "Golden, if you were asked to modify our browser, how long would it take to reach the same level as them?"

Energetic, Golden turned around and replied loudly, "Five months! Eight months at most! By then our browsers will be as good as theirs, and even better." It is...... I just don't know if we can buy their patents. These whims of theirs should ...... No, a patent has been filed for sure. ”

Now Bill Gates has the urge to shoot the case.

Drove away Gordon like a fly but tested the instant messaging software, Bill Gates and the frustrated Simeone, and the angry Thompson, you look at me, I look at you.

For a moment, the three of them did not speak.

After a long time, Bill Gates asked, "You guys used this browser just now, so I don't need to say how you feel." You say, should we discontinue the release of Internet Explorer?"

Simeone and Thompson looked at each other again, and they shook their heads slowly.

Simeone said: "No, we have already announced it, if we don't release it, we will slap ourselves in the face, and investors will chase us into our office with sticks." In any case, our browser is better than Netscape's previous browser, and even if it is defeated by Goldsun Browser, it can still hold down Netscape Browser. We can give investors a more reasonable explanation: we have worked hard and have overshadowed our original competitors, but we didn't expect Huaxia to have such a powerful software company. ”

Thompson also said: "Now that we and Netscape are competing in the United States, no matter how good the Goldsun browser is, it will not be able to enter the United States for the time being." As long as we beat Netscape, investors will still trust us, and our stock price will not fall much. ”

Bill Gates nodded in agreement at first, but then remembered something, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "Not good! It seems that China and Huaxia signed an agreement on the protection of intellectual property rights of computer software in the early hours of this morning." Since 12 o'clock at noon today, our software can be sold in Huaxia at will, and their software can also be sold in our United States at any time!"

"Ahh

Simeone even scolded: "Congress, these idiots, how could they sign this agreement at this time?"

Thompson smiled bitterly: "Isn't this exactly the result of our all-out push? We have asked Congress again and again to come forward to put pressure on China to crack down on piracy and to pull China to protect intellectual property rights." ”

Seeing that his two generals were so depressed, Bill Gates had to forcibly hold back his frustration, and said with a deliberate smile: "Things are already like this, there is no need to regret it." Who knew that this Chinese software company was so different, as if it came from an alien planet. …… Thompson, how are we sending to Huaxia to acquire this company?"

I thought that Bill Gates's relaxed tone was because he had a good way, but he didn't expect it to be such a sentence, and Thompson couldn't help but say in a rough voice: "It doesn't work." The boss of this company doesn't sell at all and doesn't care at all about the officials we say move. ”

Bill Gates nodded and said, "This is to be expected." Before, we didn't have much hope of buying it. However, even then, things did not reach the point of despair for us at Microsoft. ”

As he spoke, Bill Gates raised two fingers and said with full anger: "First, when the firebird98 operating system came out last time, we had certain preparations for industrial transfer, although our browser and operating system were sniped by Huaxia Company, but we can also develop MSN, we can develop enterprise resource management software, we can develop computer games, and online games. Second, a product with good performance is not necessarily a successful product, as far as Huaxia is concerned, they don't understand sales or the market at all. Even if they can defeat us in the future, it will be enough for our investors to retreat in the stock market. ”

Simeone and Thompson looked at each other again, their painful eyes slowly disappearing, and then nodded slightly.

Soon, the heads of the three of them were together, staring at the data on the website.

Soon, the three of them laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

The time has reached 8:30 Washington time, and it has been three and a half hours since China Software Technology Co., Ltd. released the software, but only more than 4,500 people have downloaded the goldsun browser! On average, there are only more than 1,250 in an hour.

Know that downloading more than 4,500 does not mean that there are 4,500 customers, they can try it for a week and then decide whether to pay for it at the bank, maybe delete it after using it for a while.

At this time, there was no online payment function.

And their instant messaging software Lala is less than 1,000 and a half, which is less than the users of MSN's internal beta.

Simeone said with a smile: "Chinese people, Chinese people, a country with a backward Internet and a country that does not understand computers, even if you are lucky enough to develop a good software?

Bill Gates shouted to Golden, who was still testing and comparing in the distance: "Golden, how do you compare their LALA with our MSN software?"

Golden ran over happily and said loudly: "Boss, our MSN software is better than theirs!"

Bill Gates was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "How much stronger?"

Golden was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer the question, and said, "How much better?...... , which cannot be quantified. If we were to convert it into percentages, we would be 100 percent, they would be 98 percent......"

As soon as Bill Gates grabbed the folder, the pen in Simeone's hand had already smashed into Golden's head: "Smack!"

……

The time was soon nine o'clock in the morning Washington time and ten o'clock in the evening Chinese capital time!

Netscape's browser, Microsoft's browser, and Microsoft's instant messaging software MSN were released at the same time!

After a minute, the data on the website refreshes:

The number of downloads of Huaxia goldsun browser: 6109 times.

Netscape browser downloads: 413.

Microsoft Corporation's browser downloads: 398.

The number of downloads of Huaxia Lala software: 2506 times.

MSN downloads from Microsoft: 213.

Seeing this data, Microsoft's employees showed a hint of joy on their faces. Netscape's employees' faces were solemn.

Half an hour later, the data on the website changed to:

Huaxia goldsun browser download times: 6852 times.

Microsoft Explorer downloads: 1741.

Netscape browser downloads: 1683.

Huaxia Lala software downloads: 2776 times.

MSN downloads from Microsoft: 1313.

Seeing that its company's data is changing quickly and the number of downloads exceeds that of its rival Netscape, Microsoft employees have more smiles on their faces, and Netscape employees are starting to worry. Both companies consciously ignored the two software of Huaxia Software Technology Co., Ltd. In their opinion, these two software are going to die or not, purely taking advantage of the benefits of being released four hours early.

Correspondingly, the stock price of Microsoft began to rise slowly, and Netscape's stock price fluctuated in a narrow range. But some people find that Microsoft shares are traded more than 2 volume ratios.

Two hours later, at 11 a.m. Washington time, the data on the website changed to:

Huaxia goldsun browser downloads: 8257 times.

Microsoft Browser Downloads: 7507.

Netscape browser downloads: 7091.

MSN downloads from Microsoft: 3195.

The number of downloads of Huaxia Lala software: 3056 times.

Seeing that the number of downloads of Microsoft's browser was almost the same as that of his own company's browser, Su Dingyu was anxious and said to Jiang Xinwei: "How can this be? Our browser is much better than theirs." Our navy is also constantly talking about our goodness, why hasn't it changed? If you want to die, why can't you climb?"
