"Mr. Bill, Google has given up on the Chinese market, and they have started working on browsers. It is said that Netscape has already started working with them. ”

Secretary Bill handed Bill the latest information.

"What does that Paige want to do."

Bill said dissatisfiedly, "Do they want to compete with us for the browser market?" ”

That's what worries Bill the most.

Since the last Microsoft monopoly case, Microsoft has taken a series of measures to prevent the company from monopolizing. However, Microsoft also paid a very big price because of this monopoly case. One of them is to open up the Windows operating system interface, allowing other browsers to be more easily integrated into Windows.

And Netscape, which was once dead before, simply took advantage of the fame of the original browser market to attack again.

And, now Netscape seems to realize that it is a bit difficult for one company to fight Microsoft, and they have united the companies.

They even intend to share their technology with other companies to achieve the purpose of attacking Internet Explorer.

This trick is very effective.

Originally, many people hated Microsoft's monopoly, and the reason why they used Microsoft's operating system was because there was no choice. However, for browsers, many European and American users have begun to have their own choices. This also makes IE browser in the recent period, from the original monopoly of more than 90% of the global market, to 80%. According to relevant experts, the Internet Explorer market may fall. In particular, the recent Firefox table xiàn is fantastic. And according to the news, Google is also interested in getting in.

With Netscape, coupled with Firefox, and Google, the search giant that occupies an important position in the world market. Perhaps, the landscape of the browser market is about to change today.

"Cook, how are the technicians you found before?"

"Mr. Bill, some of the senior browser programmers who have jumped from Netscape before, they have been pulled by Google, and we are one step slower."

"Damn, I knew I bought Google in the first place."

Bill looked very depressed.

When Google was just born, Yahoo and Microsoft had the idea of buying Google.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, there was no acquisition at the beginning, and now this company has become its own competitor.

Moreover, such a competitor may really threaten its position in the operating system market.

"By the way, Mr. Bill, Zhang Ning from Penguin Technology has come to our headquarters."

"Ah, what are you talking about, Zhang Ning?"

"Zhang Ning, what is he doing here?"

Hearing Zhang Ning's name, I don't know why, Bill couldn't help but feel weak for a while.

This guy isn't here to make trouble for himself.

You know, I have allowed a large number of companies to enter China before, the purpose is to occupy the Chinese market, in fact, on the other hand, it is also to destroy penguins. After all, in order to occupy the Chinese market, you must compete with penguins. However, it seems that the companies have not achieved much in the present. Google, which bore the brunt of the situation, has even abandoned the Chinese market.

"I don't know, Mr. Bill, if you don't want to see him, then I'll go out and say you're not at headquarters."

"Forget it, let's meet him, as much as I hate this guy, he's really funny."

Regardless of whether Zhang Ning was in trouble with himself or not, Bill decided to meet Zhang Ning.

Half an hour later, Bill met with Zhang Ning in his office.

"I didn't expect you, Mr. Bill, to really dare to see me."

"Haha, Zhang Ning, why don't you dare, will you eat me?"

"I'm not going to eat you, it's just that I seem to have heard the news that Google and some other companies are joining forces to enter China, and it seems that you are in the middle of it."

"No, Zhang Ning, where did you think of it, how could this be me."

Sure enough, this girl is a person who will repay her, and Bill will never admit it.

"Yes, but there is news that when you left China, you took a leave of absence for a while. During this holiday, you have visited many business leaders. You won't sue me, but all you did during this period of time was to chat with them and do nothing. ”

"Haha, Zhang Ning, it seems that you have been staring at me. Well, even if I told them to go to China, what about that? You also know that your domestic market is huge, and if it weren't for this factor, if I let them enter the Chinese market, they wouldn't have entered. Zhang Ning, you won't blame me, I let them compete with you. ”

"Hehe, Bill, you're a lot more honest now. I don't blame you, but, I don't know, do you blame me? ”

"Blame you, what do we blame you for? Although you have done a lot of shameless things on the Chinese side, I have no hatred for you yourself, on the contrary, I admire you very much. I've always wanted you to come to Microsoft, but unfortunately, you have your way, and I don't have the charm to invite you. ”

"Mr. Bill, I'm not talking about what I used to be. Of course, you can turn things over from the past. It seems that there is still an opportunity for cooperation. I'm talking about Google's entry into the browser market. Don't you think that if I hadn't forced Google back to you in North America, they would have entered the browser market. Or rather, will they put pressure on you? ”

"Huh......"

Zhang Ning's explanation made Bill's eyes light up.

That's right, if it weren't for Zhang Ning, a kid who drove Google back to North America, maybe he wouldn't have entered the browser market.

However, Bill didn't dwell on it.

If this is all to blame on Zhang Ning's head, then they Microsoft should not be mixed.

With Google's global strategy, even if they don't enter the browser market now, they will definitely do so in the future.

Sooner or later, Microsoft and Google will have a contest, and this has nothing to do with anyone else.

"Google's entry into the browser market really has nothing to do with you. If anything, if you hadn't hyped up our Microsoft monopoly case in the media before. I'm afraid, our browsers won't be subject to so much competition either. However, it doesn't matter, we at Microsoft have gone through too many challenges since our inception and we can cope with them. ”

"Yes, you can handle it? I don't know, how do you deal with the current three alliances of Firefox, Netscape, and Google? ”

"It seems that this is something that we at Microsoft are considering."

Bill looked at Zhang Ning and didn't know what Zhang Ning was going to do today.

"Haha, Bill, we can actually be friends, right?"

"Friends?"

Bill paused, "Yes, competition aside, we can be friends." ”

"No, Bill, even if we have some competition in business, we can be friends."

Bill was shocked again, but he didn't expect Zhang Ning's pattern to be so high.

"Zhang Ning, I admire your mind very much, just for your words, we can be friends, although, we may still compete, and even, become mortal enemies in the future."

"Haha, come on, a toast to our friendship."

Zhang Ning and Bill came to a hug, and Bill seemed a little excited.

"I didn't expect that today I could actually leave behind my previous hatred and make friends with you. You know what, you're a lot like a person. ”

"Who."

"Jobs."

"Yes."

Zhang Ning's heart moved.

"I used to be friends with Steve Jobs, but unfortunately, we were in the middle of the competition, and we became strangers."

Bill sighed for a moment, as if he had lost his temper, "I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, I admire Steve Jobs too, and I'd like to meet him if I have the chance. However, when I came here today, I have a cooperation to discuss with Mr. Bill, but I don't know if Mr. Bill is willing to cooperate. ”

"Say, as long as it's in the interest of our Microsoft, I don't think there's anything impossible for us to work together."

Putting aside his prejudices, Bill doesn't hate Zhang Ning very much at this time.

On the contrary, it is indeed commendable that he can gain some business friendship at his level.

You must know that Bill has been in business for decades, although he has countless business partners, but not everyone, Bill will regard him as a friend. Similarly, not all partners will also consider Bill as a friend. Although there is cooperation between them, it is only cooperation, and neither side has any trust in each other.

"That's great, I thought Mr. Bill hated me all the time, and he couldn't see me."

Zhang Ning was happy in his heart, this time the action was half successful.

"This cooperation is about your browser market. I know your IE has been in a lot of trouble lately, of course, I don't doubt you, you might be able to find a way to crack it, but I have a better way. ”

"What's the solution?"

Zhang Ning didn't say it directly, but suddenly asked, "Bill, technically speaking, how does your IE compare to Netscape's browser?" ”

"Netscape started as a browser market, and our Microsoft was not as good as Netscape back then. Technically, it's true that our Internet Explorer browser is better than not surfing the Internet, but it doesn't matter. Importantly, we now have a monopoly on the market. ”

"I know. However, a temporary monopoly does not mean a monopoly in the future. The stickiness of the browser, he is not as good as the operating system. The user's habit of the browser can be replaced by other browsers in a few days. Therefore, the combination of Netscape, Firefox, and Google is a huge threat to your IE, and can even threaten your operating system. ”

Bill didn't deny it, he didn't speak, it was tacit.

"Bill, if I had all the code for Netscape here, would you have the confidence to defeat the combination of the three."

What the.

Bill stood up in disbelief.

"How could you possibly have the code for Netscape Explorer."

If this can also be obtained, are they still afraid of Netscape?

Jokes, with such code, they are completely unafraid of the combination of the three, and even, can make their IE superior.

"Mr. Bill, don't get excited, if not, I wouldn't be here. We're friends, aren't we, and I can sell you Microsoft code like this. I don't know, Mr. Bill, if you'd like to buy it. ”

The Netscape Browser source code has long been open source in later generations.

This also originated from the battle between Netscape and Microsoft IE.

At that time, Netscape competed with Microsoft for a time, but both failed. Later, in 2003, Netscape disclosed the source code of their browser kernel for some reason. And Firefox, as well as Google, their browser kernels, all get their Netscape from them. And, because of the operation of Google and Firefox, finally, they broke the situation of Internet Explorer dominance. Even, in 2014, IE browsers were forced by Firefox and Google to only have more than 30% of the market share.

When Zhang Ning was fine, he also studied the Netscape browser kernel and made a browser by himself.

Unexpectedly, it was just boring and casual at the time, but this time it can become a magic code for cooperation with Microsoft.
