Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Importance of the Big Three of Microsoft II
"Amazing! Amazing! An old man with gray hair shook his head in admiration.
"Indeed! Zheng Lao,This browser can be world-class in terms of speed and performance,Even it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the world's first browser,If it is really created by our domestic company, then it is really a grand event in our Chinese science and technology industry。 A middle-aged professor next to him sighed.
"Hehe, of course it's true, the browser is issued from SH, it will definitely not be those giant network companies abroad, if it is Microsoft, IBM, those giant network companies, the world knows about the development of the development conference long ago, and then look at the operation and pattern of this browser is more suitable for our Chinese habits, so he is made in China." The gray-haired old man held his eye socket and said with a straight face. The old man's name is Zheng Haidong, a senior professor of the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University, and he is not an ordinary senior professor. It is a well-known name in the entire Chinese computer industry, and it is usually the existence of the head of Tsinghua University, but today, Zheng Haidong, who is famous in the Chinese computer industry, is excited because of a browser.
"This browser will make a big shock to China's Internet community and the world's Internet, he is as much as 2 times faster than Microsoft's latest IE5.5 browser, and the same is true for performance, perhaps Microsoft's browser hegemony in the United States will be challenged by this!" Zheng Haidong pressed his hand on the table, and he was very excited.
"No, no, no, no, right?" The middle-aged professor next to him was shocked by Zheng Haidong's words and was very messy.
"Yes, yes, but maybe it's in the future, but I believe there will be such a day" Zheng Haidong smiled mysteriously, but his eyes were always aimed at the browser is a tribute to Microsoft, a tribute to the United States propaganda slogan.
"Oh, maybe! But I'm sure it's a Chinese browser and he's going to definitely shine! A trace of pride and a touch of pride flashed on the face of the middle-aged professor, and he was proud of China's achievements in science and technology! Proud of China's achievements in science and technology!
"Of course it will shine, hehe" Zheng Haidong smiled faintly and then said, "Go and inform the media, the more the better, let's say that we at Tsinghua University have discovered the fastest browser in the world!" ”
The shock at Tsinghua University is so similar to Harvard University in Cambridge, Boston, Massachusetts.
"Professor Reed, the browser speed is top-notch, 213% faster than Microsoft IE5.5-"
"Professor Reed, the browser compatibility is excellent, and the full test is S-class-"
"Professor Reed, the browser security is very stable, and the tests are excellent in all aspects-"
"Professor Reed, the browser is very operable, and all tests are stable, and there are no crashes-"
"Oh my God!"
"Reed, what an amazing being you have received!" A computer lecturer at Harvard University, a professor of computer science who was first introduced to the mysterious browser, Jillian . Professor Reid said in surprise.
"I don't know!" Jillian. Professor Reed pushed the big glasses and was shocked by the browser, he was a little sluggish, a few days ago he was in his own laboratory researching software, writing and writing programming, but suddenly received a transnational mysterious software, and then shocked and shocked......
Like Tsinghua University and Harvard University, BJ University and the World Internet Society were also shocked by this cross-era browser, but the bigger shock was the Microsoft headquarters in Seattle, USA.
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!" ……
When Bill Gates and Paul Allen announced the news together, the entire Microsoft board was almost entirely in the same voice.
"Oh my God! Bill, is this true? One board member was surprised and couldn't believe it.
"He's real!" Bill Gates pressed his finger to his head and nodded faintly.
"Oh my God! When did this world appear to exist faster than our Internet Explorer! Another board member was surprised and said he was just as incredulous.
"It's true!" Paul Allen stood up and reinterpreted Bill Gates' words. Paul Allen and Bill Gates are both founders of Microsoft and good friends. Two of the most successful pairs in contemporary American business are Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger of Berkshire and Bill Gates and Paul Allen of Microsoft. Warren Buffett and Munger have teamed up to create the best-performing investment firm in U.S. history, and Gates and Allen have joined forces to create the most profitable technology company the world has ever seen. Warren Buffett and Gates are both national idols who are used to appearing frequently in the spotlight, and various media will report their every move in great detail, while Munger and Allen are relatively unknown, but no one can underestimate them.
"It's true, it is true that there are browsers that are more than 2 times faster than IE5.5 browsers, and the compatibility and security are very stable, and all aspects of the test are excellent"
"No, it won't!" Which board member patted his head in disbelief.
"We at Microsoft may have encountered another crisis that is bigger than Netscape in a few years, this crisis comes from China, but this is another opportunity, a shocking opportunity for our Microsoft!" At this time, Bill Gates, who was silent, suddenly stood up and said firmly.
"What do you say about chance?" At this time, almost all the board members looked at Bill Gates.
"Opportunity, maybe this is an opportunity" Bill Gates said lightly, "The heel of this mysterious browser comes from a place in China SH, he is still growing up, even a baby, we can buy him, maybe merge him!" ”
"In terms of strength, we are the world's largest computer software provider, we are a giant, that small Chinese Internet company is an ant, we are fully capable of crushing him, but we need his technology, that amazing browser and source code!" A gleam flashed in Bill Gates' eyes, and he said very formally.
"That's right! Acquire him while he's not growing! Ballmer, who was silent, stood up and said.
"Well-that makes sense, but I think this mysterious Chinese internet company mails us internationally, they must know the value, and maybe we will pay a big price!" A board member said as he looked at the information in his hand that cared about the mysterious browser.
"No, no matter what the cost, are you so hard to forget Netscape?" That's when Paul Caro said suddenly.
The board member of the "Netscape Company" silently said, "Netscape Company" is the only time Microsoft has "bent the knee", just because of Netscape Company, because of Netscape Browser Microsoft has faced unprecedented difficulties and challenges.
The conference hall of Microsoft headquarters is quiet, and the members of the Microsoft board of directors are imagining the battle between Microsoft and Netscape a few years ago, and they are all deeply afraid, and the browser battle between Microsoft and Netscape can be regarded as the most tragic battle in the Internet world. A casual oversight by Bill Gates cost Microsoft billions of dollars. To this day, it is also subject to an antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for certain tough acts of unfair competition. And Netscape once seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve the hegemony of the empire, although it is said that after the matter has changed, but looking back on the battle between Microsoft and Netscape, people can't help but have infinite reverie and sigh.
"No matter what the cost, you must get your hands on this browser!" At this time, a member of the board of directors of Microsoft suddenly slapped the table and stood up and said.
"That's right! No matter what the cost, be sure to get your hands on this browser! At this time, other Microsoft board members also said that they did not want to see another "Netscape" rise.
"Well, I've decided to go to China now, no matter what the cost, I must get this browser!" At this time, Bill Gates stood up and said.
"Okay, agreed"
"Consent"
"Agree"......
There were hardly any doubts, all agreed, and no one wanted a "Netscape company to come" again.
"Okay, then let's make arrangements now-" "Ballmer, you go to China, and arrange for Microsoft China to be responsible for assisting!" Bill Gates, who was smiling resolutely, became resolute and immediately organized a plan to take down the browser.
"Well, I'll do it right away!" After listening to Bill Gates's instructions, Ballmer nodded and agreed to leave immediately, knowing the importance of this browser to Microsoft.
"This time, we Microsoft spared no money, the acquisition of China's Internet browser company, not allowed to fail, if successful, it will be a great opportunity for us Microsoft, the opportunity to rewrite the history of the Internet!" Bill Gates turned to look at the sky behind him and muttered faintly.
At this time, Chen Shu was very annoyed and anxious, when did Harvard, Cambridge, Microsoft, IBM become so slow? Could it be that they have become bureaucratic and bloated like China's big enterprises-" Chen Shu could only keep slandering in his stomach and exuding his dissatisfaction......
In fact, it's not that Harvard, Cambridge, Microsoft, IBM, and efficiency have become slow, it's just that this transnational route is too long, and the plane has to fly for a day or two, Chen Shu's super browser copy has just arrived, and it takes time for Tsinghua University and Peking University to hold a press conference in China, and he is completely unaware of the vibration outside. Because the sky of his Internet world has changed color!
