The fall of Netscape made a large group of people completely hate Lu Hao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info led by Sequoia Capital, and many other American companies jointly sued Microsoft, Intel, 360, and Xiaomi Technology for monopoly.

After learning the news of the defendant, Lu Hao immediately obtained the detailed information of Sequoia Capital, Dell, Compaq, IBM and other companies.

Sequoia Capital's influence in the American Internet industry is huge, it was founded by Don Valentine in Silicon Valley in 1972, and he has become a legend in the VC industry more than ten years later.

In the mainframe era, it discovered the PC pioneer Apple computer, when the PC was booming, it cultivated the network equipment company 3, Cisco, and when the computer was widely connected, the Internet era came, it invested in Netscape and Yahoo.

It is also a headache to completely turn against Lu Hao with such an influential company, especially this time he actually united companies like Dell, Compaq, and IBM, and their alliance undoubtedly created a huge trouble for Lu Hao.

Dell is a rising upstart in the computer industry, Compaq is an established company, and IBM is a blue giant, and each company is difficult to deal with.

Lu Hao thought about it for a few days and decided to adopt Grandpa Mao's tactics, fighting one for one, and pulling one to destroy the other.

According to the agreement between Microsoft, Intel and 360 and Xiaomi Technology, if there is trouble this time, Lu Hao must solve it, they are only responsible for assisting, and if they are fined, they must all be paid by Xiaomi Technology.

To be honest, 360 and Xiaomi have robbed the market in this way, and it is worth paying more fines, what I am afraid of is more than just fines.

After comprehensive consideration, Lu Hao decided to win over Sequoia Capital and IBM to attack Dell and Compaq. Lu Hao personally called Cisco President John Chambers.

John Chambers is a very capable person, and just after taking over Cisco this year, he persuaded Lu Hao to support an important switch technology of Cisco, so that Cisco can produce 90 percent of the core equipment, and only need to import 10 percent of the core components from Huawei.

In his previous life, Chambers took the helm of Cisco and created a Cisco dynasty, and in 2000 Cisco became the world's most valuable company, although it was only a flash in the pan, but history has affirmed its glory.

For such a talent, of course Lu Hao wanted to recruit his subordinates, but Chambers refused Lu Hao's invitation and stayed in Cisco, although he was not recruited by Lu Hao, but Lu Hao appreciated him more, and the two became friends.

Lu Hao explained his intentions to Chambers in detail, but Chambers did not give him a reply immediately, but gave Lu Hao a reply after careful consideration.

He told Lu Hao in an affirmative tone that Sequoia Capital is the largest shareholder of Cisco, and he is confident that he can convince Sequoia Capital to let go of Netscape's unpleasantness.

Lu Hao also immediately agreed, and asked him to tell Sequoia Capital that Matrix Technology will launch an instant messaging QQ that has a great impact on the world next year, and the future development prospects will surpass 360, and he sincerely invites Sequoia Capital to become the original major shareholder of QQ.

It didn't take long for Lu Hao to receive a call from the president of Sequoia Capital, telling Lu Hao that the money could be opened casually, but the proportion of shares could not be less than five percent.

Lu Hao's offer, two billion US dollars!

Without even thinking about it for a second, the president of Sequoia immediately agreed to Lu Hao's offer, and told him with certainty that Sequoia Capital would withdraw the lawsuit tomorrow.

Lu Hao was a little surprised by the quick decision of the president of Sequoia, and asked him if he needed it, and signed a contract to guarantee five percent of their shares, but he didn't expect the president of Sequoia to directly reject his suggestion, there is no need to be so troublesome, I believe in you!

As soon as he put down the phone, JK Bob's call came, and he not only did not feel unhappy at all, but also laughed and wished the two companies a happy cooperation, and told Lu Hao that he saw the value of matrix technology last year, and has been actively promoting the cooperation between the two companies.

J.K. Bob is also a talent, and it is rare to be able to divide things so clearly. It's a guy who can overcome reason over reason.

There are no secrets in the tech world, and it didn't take long for Bill Gates to suddenly call, and Lu Hao could tell from his tone that he was happy.

Bill Gates didn't get straight to the point, but started by saying, "Harry, my good friend, we're a great example of working together!" The Windows X operating system has achieved great results under the new sales model, and our internal comments on you have completely disappeared. ”

Hearing the words operating system, Lu Hao's eyes were red, he didn't know the total number of computers in the world before, but now he can roughly estimate the number of computers currently in the world, 2 billion is only a lot more.

Microsoft's operating system has a share of more than 80 percent, and the Windows X operating system, which was launched simultaneously in 34 countries around the world, has reached 1.2 billion potential customers in three years.

According to the price of $80 for the personal version and $200 to several thousand dollars for the enterprise version, Microsoft's sales in the past three years will be as high as 120 billion US dollars, 360 percent of the sales fee, as well as more than 100 billion US dollars in revenue, and 70 billion US dollars in net profits.

And that's just the revenue of these 34 countries, and Microsoft's own sales revenue in more than 100 other countries around the world, to be conservative, they will also have hundreds of billions of dollars in net profits by the end of this century.

"My dear friend, you Microsoft have been making a lot of money recently, are you considering adding a little sales fee to 360? You also have to know that 360 technology is also your company, and you can't be too unfair. ”

The contract had already been signed, and 360 had two companies in cahoots to thank Microsoft for its support. 360 only charges 10% of the cost to Microsoft agent sales, and now Lu Hao is just talking nonsense, so Lu Hao didn't expect that it was Bill Gates who agreed to him.

"No problem at all, I can add two points to the sales fee for 360, but your QQ instant messaging must make me a twenty percent stake." Bill Gates completely bared his fangs at this time, and wanted to eat a major shareholder in one bite.

Lu Hao directly refused, "I think it's better to forget it, 360 still has a strong contract spirit, and we won't break the contract." ”

Bill Gates said, "Don't be so quick to refuse, I can help you convince IBM, Dell and Compaq that if they drop the lawsuit, the rest of the companies won't be able to make a splash." (To be continued.) )
