"Zhang Ning, you're trying to harm us Yahoo."

After the end of the global IT summit, Yang Zhiyuan, who was most anxious, was the first to go to Penguin's North American headquarters to find Zhang Ning.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"Zhang Ning, stop kidding. Didn't you make it clear that you asked Google and Microsoft to work with you, so what about our Yahoo Search? ”

"Brother Zhiyuan, this is just a partial cooperation, I can't really cooperate with them, besides, we penguins and the two major companies have not dealt with it much. Can you rest assured that even if you cooperate with them, Facebook will always be implanted in your Yahoo search and will not change? As for other advertising services, Brother Zhiyuan, you won't even ban us from this. ”

"Zhang Ning, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

Yang Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as your Facebook network doesn't introduce other search engines, then I'm relieved." ”

"Of course, Brother Zhiyuan. However, Microsoft may enter the portal business, so you should be careful. ”

"Don't worry, the portal business is our forte, and I don't have Microsoft."

"That couldn't be better."

Yang Zhiyuan left, and Microsoft founder Bill also found Zhang Ning the next day.

As he said at the summit before, Bill invited Zhang Ning to a coffee shop that is said to be very famous for coffee.

Zhang Ning knows that drinking coffee is secondary, and what matters is what Bill says next.

"Zhang Ning, you must already know what I mean by looking for you this time."

Putting down the coffee in his hand, Bill looked at Zhang Ning.

"Just a little."

"Okay, I said it directly, we Microsoft want to enter the search engine and portal, I hope Mr. Zhang Ning can help us."

Bill didn't hide it, and directly stated the purpose.

"Search engines, portals."

Sure enough, Microsoft is going to enter both areas.

Think about it too.

Although Microsoft has a monopoly on the global operating system, in fact, it is only a software company.

Their achievements on the Internet are not very big, just one MSN.

Moreover, MSN also has competition from ICQ, and likewise, there is competition from some Internet vendors from other countries.

In China, for example, MSN lost to penguins.

Now, of course, Bill doesn't want to talk about the Chinese market at all.

It's not that he has no interest in the Chinese market, it's just that he knows that with Zhang Ning here, they don't have any chances.

"Search engines and portals, Mr. Bill, you guys are really big at Microsoft, how do you want to cooperate?"

"I hope that your Facebook will be worth being included in our Microsoft search engine, that is, on the homepage of Facebook, you will add the input box of our search engine."

"I'm sorry, we signed a long-term contract with Yahoo for this one, and it's impossible to change it."

"Well, I hope that your company's Penguin Video Network can reach a strategic cooperation with our Microsoft to promote our search engine in an all-round way. In this, it includes the separate advertising business of Penguin Video Network, as well as the soft advertising cooperation attached to Penguin Video Network's self-made dramas. In addition, I would also like to share your company's Facebook topic through the wall, popular Weibo...... A range of features that help us promote our portal business. ”

"No problem."

Zhang Ning agreed directly.

"Eh, Zhang Ning, you don't have any conditions?"

Seeing Zhang Ning agree so quickly, Bill had some unreal feelings.

"Oh, I'm sure Mr. Bill must have brought me terms that are satisfactory."

Zhang Ning replied with a smile.

"It's not that easy to talk to smart people, it's your company's compensation agreement."

Zhang Ning took out the agreement and glanced at it.

"$100 million a year in advertising, Mr. Bill, you're generous."

Looking at the figure of 100 million US dollars, Zhang Ning was also moved.

Fortunately, I figured it out for a while, if I still think about fighting with these guys every day as before.

Not to mention the $100 million, I'm afraid that many of my businesses will be attacked by them.

Now it's okay, all of a sudden, let go of cooperation, even Microsoft, which had a fight with itself before, has also come to the door.

"Okay, I'll take this cooperation. I have one condition, though. ”

"On what terms?"

"I want you to have some core code that involves the underlying operating system."

"What do you mean?"

Bill directly changes color.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want all of your code, I just need a small piece of code related to computer security."

"Oh?"

Bill's eyes flickered, "Zhang Ning, do you want to enter the firewall or antivirus software business?" ”

"That's right."

Zhang Ning nodded.

Search Engines, Instant Messaging, Portals, E-Commerce...... These markets could not enter for the time being, so Zhang Ning put his idea into another market. Perhaps, other businesses can turn a corner and then kill back to the Internet.

The anti-virus software business was favored by Zhang Ning.

"Strange, Zhang Ning, you are an Internet company, why did you enter the antivirus field without any trouble?"

Bill had a strange feeling in his heart, and there were some thoughts that he couldn't grasp Zhang Ning.

"I'm a person who likes to mess around, and I think antivirus software is fun, so I'll go in and have a look."

Zhang Ning casually found a reason, glanced at Bill, and asked rhetorically, "What, Mr. Bill, you don't want to?" ”

"Where, Mr. Zhang Ning, how can it be."

"I just feel weird."

After Bill finished speaking, he took a sip of his coffee and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Zhang Ning, in fact, I'm going to build yì, you still don't enter the anti-virus field."

"How?"

"First, the market in the anti-virus field is not large, far from being comparable to the Internet market. Even, he can't make as much money as you guys from online games. Second, although the market in the antivirus field is small, the talents needed are often in short supply, especially some high-end security geniuses, which are more difficult to find, and sometimes, you spend several years not finding a master. Moreover, a piece of market competition is very large, Norton, Kaba, Seke Iron Gate...... The strength is very strong, and there is really not much development when entering this industry. ”

"Mr. Bill, you're thinking too much, I just wanted to give it a try. Anyway, you Microsoft will not enter this area, are you still afraid that our penguins will threaten your Microsoft's market position? ”

"Hahaha, Zhang Ning, you're really joking. Well, I can provide you Penguin with some low-level code. However, as you said, we don't provide too much code, and we don't want to ask if your company can really do a good job of antivirus in the future. ”

"Of course."

The two finished drinking coffee, and the cooperation between Penguin and Microsoft can be regarded as a real achievement.

However, after Bill, there is still a giant who has also contacted Zhang Ning.

That person is Page, the founder and CEO of Google.

Like Microsoft, Google has had a fight with Penguin in the Chinese market.

Moreover, at that time, Cheng dù of the dry frame was more fierce than Cheng dù of the Microsoft dry frame.

This also made Page feel a little embarrassed when he met Zhang Ning.

He didn't know if Zhang Ning would hold a grudge, what if this guy wasn't interested in them Google, or wouldn't just bird him?

However, thinking of the spirit of sharing that Zhang Ning said at the summit, Page decided to give it a try.

With a hint of embarrassment, Page said, "Mr. Zhang Ning, some unpleasant ...... happened in China before"

It's just that Zhang Ning's reaction was completely beyond Page's expectations, "Mr. Page, come, have a glass of water, did anything unpleasant happen to us before?" ”

Zhang Ning brought the tea to Page, his eyes blinking, as if he didn't know anything.

"Ah......h

For a moment, some people didn't understand what Zhang Ning meant by this, but after a while, Page instantly became excited, "Haha, it's true." ”

I really didn't expect that this guy in front of me, who was so many years younger than myself, would have such a big mind.

In this way, everything is easy to do.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang Ning, I don't know if Bill has looked for you before."

"Mr. Page, you've inquired clearly, I don't need to answer."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang Ning, I am also a cheerful person, I know that Bill has reached a strategic cooperation with you in Penguin Video Network, then, we Google also want to sign a cooperation with your company, I don't know if Mr. Zhang Ning is interested."

"Of course I am."

Zhang Ning's speech at the summit was to attract them.

However, Zhang Ning said at this time, "Although our Penguin Company seems to have a large market value, our Penguin Company does not have much business, in terms of the Internet, there are only Facebook and Penguin Video Network, and there is a Weibo attached to Facebook." Facebook has signed a cooperation agreement with Yahoo, and I am afraid that we will not be able to cooperate with you in this area. As for Penguin Video, sorry, we also signed a partnership with Microsoft, and you are one step late. ”

Zhang Ning said regretfully.

However, Page didn't seem to care at all and said, "Mr. Zhang Ning, I have recently seen your advertisements on Facebook and Penguin Video. We also know that Microsoft is ready to enter the search engine and web portal business in a big way. Of course, we don't care about the portal business, leaving it to Yahoo to go to Microsoft. But the search engine, I don't want to budge. However, this cooperation is not our search engine. ”

"Not a search engine?"

Zhang Ning was stunned, what's going on?

Google's counterattack, isn't it a search engine?

This doesn't look normal.

With a roll of his eyes, Zhang Ning suddenly understood.

"I see, Mr. Page, you're trying to attack other Microsoft businesses, like instant messaging."

"Awesome."

Paige was shocked.

He also thought that the idea of encircling Wei to save Zhao would definitely make Zhang Ning admire.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning actually guessed it directly.

Such an ability is truly terrifying.

It's no wonder that when Google entered China in a big way, it was a complete failure.

"That's right, we at Google are going into the instant messaging business to threaten Microsoft's Internet plans. I'll see if Bill will continue to push their search engine or keep their instant messaging. ”

"It's a fantastic idea."

Zhang Ning also had to admire this idea, and immediately nodded, "Mr. Page, if that's the case, then we can cooperate with you Google on Instant Messaging and Penguin Video Network." ”

Instant messaging is not a search engine business, and there is no overlap in business, even if Zhang Ning pushes Microsoft's search engine today, Google's instant messaging tomorrow, or the business of two companies at the same time, it is okay.

After Zhang Ning was at Microsoft, he reached a cooperation with Page.

Of course, in addition to Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google, there are also some other IT companies that have come to the door.

Among them, there is IBM, Amazon, and Oracle Technology...... Even if it is Japan's Sony and South Korea's Samsung, at this moment, Zhang Ning also generously took over the cooperation with them.

For more than a month, Zhang Ning signed a contract for these cooperations.

Just when Zhang Ning thought that almost seventy-seven, eighty-eight large enterprises in the world had found him, an unexpected company that Zhang Ning was not willing to cooperate with came to the door again.

The name of this company is Apple.

"Zhang, I have a great plan, I don't know if you're interested."

"What's the plan?"

"We are ready to launch a 64-bit Mac, and I believe that with the performance of the 64-bit computer, our Apple computer will once again shock the world and regain the position of the computer boss."

Jobs excitedly took the information and described the various performances of the 64-bit computer to Zhang Ning.

About half an hour later, after Jobs finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Ning expectantly.

"By the way, Zhang Ning, how do you feel?"

"This ......"

Zhang Ning had some headaches.

Apple is a great tech company,

It's just that Zhang Ning really doesn't want to cooperate with the current Apple.

Before 2008, Apple's Steve Jobs had been working on personal computers.

They are still immersed in the glory that Apple brought to the world back then, and they want to make Apple computers shock the world again. As a result, before 2008, a series of high-performance computers were constantly being produced. Among them, the 64-bit Mac machine was a product that Apple always thought could change the landscape of the computer industry at that time. It's a pity that Zhang Ning, who is familiar with the history of later generations, knows. The 64-bit computer has not changed the world, and it will not even be widespread in the next 10 years.

Undoubtedly, this 64-bit PC is destined to be a failure.

If Zhang Ning wants to cooperate with them, wouldn't this be a pain in idleness.

Moreover, Zhang Ning also knows that Apple is lacking a large amount of development funds recently.

Nima, isn't it obvious that she wants to ask for money?

Although he has a lot of money, every penny must be used on the blade, which will be squandered by Jobs.

"Mr. Jobs, I think it's better to forget it."

Zhang Ning shook his head.

"A 64-bit PC is too much of a luxury to be afforded by the average person. And I don't think it's necessary now. ”

"No, no, no, Zhang Ning, this is too necessary, really, you listen to me."

Jobs bombarded Zhang Ning again and instilled a series of theories.

However, Zhang Ning still shook his head.

"Zhang Ning, think about it, with our Apple's development capabilities, plus your penguin's operational capabilities. I believe we can build one of the most successful computers in the world. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it."

Helpless, Zhang Ning had no choice but to delay, "You let me think about it first." ”

It has to be said that Jobs had a genius idea.

Under his leadership, Apple has developed many innovative products.

It's just that, sometimes, not all innovations can be accepted by users.

In particular, when you're too far ahead of your time, you're going to fail.

Just like these 64-bit computers, let alone now, even in 2014, 64-bit PC computers are still not the mainstream.

"Okay, Zhang Ning, you think about it for a while, I'll wait for your good news."

There was clearly some disappointment, and Jobs was ready to leave.

"Mr. Jobs, wait, I don't want to talk about your 64-bit PC, I have a good idea."

"What thoughts?"

"In fact, I think that there are too many competitors in PC hardware alone, including Dell, HP, Asus, IBM, South Korea's Samsung, Japan's Toshiba, Sony, even in China, Lenovo, Shenzhou...... The global market is so big, even if PC products are innovative enough, we face a lot of resistance. Why don't we think differently, in an area that is easier and more able to realize future value. ”

"Zhang Ning, which field are you talking about?"

"Operating system."

Zhang Ning said directly.
