Chapter 191: Contract Gifts
After solving the matter of Meimi, Lu Hao made time to meet those American partners, although it has only been a few days apart, there are many things to talk about, and the main problem is still around the issue of the launch time of 360. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
For Microsoft, Bill Gates is eager to launch 360 now, and the 360 will be hugely driven by Microsoft's software sales after it goes public.
Lu Hao and Bill Gates have reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement, 360 antivirus software will be bundled with the Windows 95 operating system, and the Windows operating system will provide free download of the 360 antivirus trial version through their update platform.
In order to improve the user stickiness of 360 antivirus, all patch downloads of the Windows operating system after 97 years must be completed through the download of 360 antivirus software, and the Windows operating system itself no longer provides patch download services.
The great benefit of 360 antivirus to the Windows operating system is to eliminate piracy, 360 antivirus software can automatically identify the pirated software of the Windows operating system, once identified, the computer will not only be paralyzed, but also can not reinstall the pirated system.
This is because 360 will automatically collect the identification code of the computer that is identified as using pirated software, and the computer with the new pirated system will be automatically recognized as soon as it goes online, and the operating system will be paralyzed again.
Obviously, this will bring huge benefits to Microsoft, which also wants to increase their word software sales through the strong promotion power of 360, and as soon as it is launched, Microsoft's stock will definitely skyrocket, which is a good thing to kill one stone.
If on October 24, 1985, John Scully, then Apple's CEO, signed Apple's worst-ever contract, then Bill Gates also signed Microsoft's worst-ever contract.
John Scully agreed that Microsoft would allow Microsoft to use some of Apple's graphical interface technology if it continued to produce software for Apple. If John Scully hadn't made the deal with Microsoft, Windows might never have stepped in, because because of its similarity to macOS, it's clear that Apple would easily win any lawsuit against Microsoft.
At this time, it is a similar reason, although Microsoft is powerful, it has been kidnapped by 360, and one day they will find that the little 360 is a giant existence.
Lu Hao has a plan in mind,That is, withdraw from the real-name system before the 360 listing,As long as you buy a 360 product, it will always be free for life,As long as you have an ID number,Then you will never lose it,And never have to worry about the countless troubles caused by changing computers,Lu Hao believes that as long as this measure is launched, it will have a very high user viscosity,You can eliminate the vast majority of antivirus software manufacturers in a short timeγ
Lu Hao would not reveal this, in order to keep it secret, he did not reveal this matter to anyone, he had to announce it in the most powerful voice at the most appropriate time.
In fact, Microsoft is not completely unaware of the risks of this cooperation, and they have evaluated it, and the reasons why they decided to do so are as follows: on the one hand, they are the majority shareholder of 360 antivirus.
On the other hand, Buffett and Bill Gates are also mentors and friends, and Buffett has agreed that he will transfer 5% of his shares in Matrix Technology to Bill Gates when the time is right.
On the other hand, Microsoft will buy a large number of 360 shares from the secondary market when 360 goes public, and try to buy 360 shares from the rest of the shareholders.
The last reason is that Bill Gates has united all shareholders and did not expand the shares of 360 when it was listed, but asked Lu Hao to sell the shares held by Haohai Investment and put them on the market, further weakening the shareholding ratio of Haohai Investment.
Bill Gates offered in exchange for agreeing to the other shareholders' proposal to postpone the launch of 360 and postpone the launch of 360 Browser, Input Method, Google Search, and Google Portal, giving them enough time to exit Netscape and Yahoo.
Lu Hao glanced at the room full of shareholders, he knew in his heart that although he was the largest shareholder with the right to decide, there were some things that needed to be compromised, but Lu Hao would not let himself suffer a secret loss in vain.
"I fully agree that the global launch of 360 has been delayed until the end of the year, and the product launch time coincides with the launch of 360 on the NASDAQ."
The joy of the shareholders jumped on their faces instantly, they didn't expect Lu Hao to agree without even talking, just when they applauded and celebrated, Lu Hao pulled a long voice and said, "But ........"
But what? The joyful expressions of the shareholders still stayed on their faces, and the worries were covered again, and for a while, everyone's expressions looked very funny.
God, don't have any more moths! Shareholders prayed in their hearts.
"But should I get some Yahoo stock?" Lu Hao glanced at the shareholders again, looked at their funny expressions, and suddenly smiled and said, "The price I paid is not small." β
As soon as Lu Hao's words fell, the one with the longest face was Sequoia Capital, they are the largest shareholder of Yahoo, it seems that Lu Hao's black hand is about to reach him.
The rest of the shareholders have relaxed, they don't own much of Yahoo shares, they don't even have a single share of Microsoft, and it's none of their business, even those with a small number of Yahoo shares.
Sequoia Capital is not only the largest shareholder of Yahoo, he is also the major shareholder of Cisco and Netscape, Lu Hao's birth is simply against them, if possible, they wish that Lu Hao had never appeared.
Sequoia Capital's representative turned pale, got up and said sorry, and then left to make a call. About half an hour later, Sequoia Capital returned to inform him that the presidents of Sequoia and Yahoo, Yang Zhiyuan, and Cisco's president, Qian Chambers, would be arriving in a few hours.
That night, Lu Hao reached a cooperation agreement with them, and the moment the agreement was reached, Cisco President Chambers jumped excitedly, Cisco and Huawei reached an intellectual property exchange agreement, Cisco before January 1, 1996 all patents for Huawei to use for free, Huawei will provide its own 10,000-door digital program-controlled switch and all the patented technologies covered in it to Cisco for free.
As for Yahoo, Lu Hao invested $50 million to buy 15 percent of Yahoo's unrestricted shares from Yahoo Yang Zhiyuan, and Lu Hao could sell all of these shares in the secondary market as long as Yahoo was listed.
When the news reached Huaxia, Ren Zhengfei urgently convened a meeting, although most people felt that this was a failed deal, but Ren Zhengfei disagreed, "Lu Hao said to me, in the face of fair competition, we Huawei are not afraid of any opponent, we have drawn the only way for the future of Cisco, that is, to become a part of Huawei." β
Lu Hao learned about the content of Huawei's internal meeting over the phone, haha laughed, this is the Ren Zhengfei who dares to act, in the previous life, Huawei was able to overturn Cisco under difficult conditions, and now Huawei wants a market for the market, and for funds and funds, there is no reason why Huawei is not successful under the leadership of Ren Zhengfei.
From now on, the U.S. patent stick will no longer threaten Huawei!
The new Huawei can make great strides into the international market! (To be continued.) )
