Chapter 368 Hurt Me
Accompanied by Yu Shengkang, Li Yuan appeared at the press conference.
The reporters below slowly fell silent. Looking at the young overly Chinese kid above, many people also slowly became interested. Of course, the bald man on the side just ignored it.
After greeting the reporters warmly, Li Yuan sat in his seat and began to adjust the microphone.
"Lee! Can you tell us about today's press conference?"
A Western journalist shouted that he didn't care about etiquette at all. And Ying Xin, who was hiding behind and watching, became worried - this dead man, said he wanted to put a big news? But you don't want to reveal any details at all? I don't know if this girl's mouth is tight? Most...... Reveal a thing or two with a few girlfriends? Ahem.
Anyway, the dead man's attitude is not up to par, and he definitely needs to continue to test......
Faced with the questions below, Li Yuan smiled and said, "I am fortunate to have so many journalist friends invited today, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks here. Actually, this press conference should not be held by me, the real representative should be Netscape."
(βΛβ) (βΛβ) (βΛβ)β¦β¦
There was a sudden silence below, and all the reporters became dumbfounded.
Didn't have auditory hallucinations, did you? Representing Netscape? If your information is correct, the edge ger on the stage is the boss of Parallel Line Technology, right? And parallel lines are still Netscape's big competitors?
However, after being stunned for a few seconds, the audience became commotion again.
Fack! There has never been a press conference like this - your own boss for a competitor?
Can you imagine that the CEO of Coca-Cola held a press conference for Pepsi?
"Lee! Can you be clearer? Do you want to merge your parallel lines with Netscape?"
Laughing underneath, this is obviously impossible to happen. Unless Li Yuan eats too many brain fragments, he will agree to Netscape's acquisition before the IPO. Moreover, such a strong alliance will definitely not pass the "Anti-Monopoly Law" of various countries.
When the laughter stopped, Li Yuan shook his head with a smile: "Why do I represent Netscape? Mainly because of the existential crisis of the Internet industry. Although Parallel Line Technology has never been afraid of any competitors, it is also necessary to humbly admit that Anderson, who is currently Netscape, is the standard-bearer of the Internet. Originally, I was still waiting for Anderson's self-awakening. But now he was surprised to find that he was a fool, and he was dying without realizing it?"
"Boom ββ!"
The pot suddenly exploded at the bottom. Who has been in the limelight lately? Netscape's Anderson is certainly one of the most promising candidates. But Li Yuan suddenly scolded him - stupid?
"Lee, do you really think Anderson is a fool? Is this your jealousy? Or is there some other reason?"
"Isn't he stupid? Maybe Anderson is a good software engineer, but he's not a qualified manager at all. A good Netscape? Falling into the hands of this stupid donkey-like man? You might as well leave it to me. What else is he the standard-bearer of the Internet? Don't be embarrassed to be on Time Magazine, it's better to get out of here as soon as possible!"
At the beginning, Li Yuan was a violent output, which shocked everyone. Ying Xin behind the stage has already bent over with a smile, and Yu Shengkang next to him is doubting life, what is going on?
Finally, a reporter couldn't see it: "Lee! You've got to explain why, right? Isn't casual invective a gentleman's doing?"
Li Yuan nodded with a smile: "Okay! Forgive me for my gaffes, I was mainly too angry and didn't control my emotions well. And if this is the competition between our parallel lines and Netscape? Maybe I'll appreciate Anderson's stupidity. But this is a genocidal act of some shameless, obscene, hellish scoundrel enterprise against our Internet industry......
"Wait a minute! Don't get excited." In the midst of laughter, someone asked, "Which is that villain company with many adjectives?"
"Do you need to ask? Microsoft, of course?"
It's hilarious underneath.
All right! As for Microsoft and Bill Gates, their image in all high-tech companies, especially in Silicon Valley, is basically similar to that of demons. This is not surprising.
But why
Here, Li Yuan is going to suddenly scold Microsoft? Now is not the moment when the parallel line is about to go on the market, and it has not yet reached the moment of hype?
"Lee, I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said. Did Microsoft offend you parallels? Also, are you trying to help Netscape's Anderson fight with Microsoft? But even if you're helping Netscape, why are you calling Anderson a fool?"
With a chuckle, Li Yuan said, "We all know that before Netscape was founded, Anderson invented the Mosaic browser. Later, he independently invented the Netscape series of browsers. And the first commercial use is our parallel line series of browsers. At present, these two browsers occupy a major share of the browser market."
The reporters slowly fell silent. Isn't this all information that has already been made public?
Li continued, "It's a pity that while we, the Internet innovators, continue to work hard, the villain Microsoft has quietly appeared. They bought Mosa from Inlino University and remodeled it as Internet Explorer, which they were going to market in the middle of the year when the indos 95 operating system was released."
"Uh......" The reporters' expressions were a little strange. Although it seems a bit immoral to do so, it doesn't violate the rules of business, right?
Where did this Chinese kid get his glass heart?
Li Yuan raised his voice: "But what you don't know is that Microsoft has adopted a free bundle model for this promotion. This is unfair competition! They have taken advantage of their monopoly in the market and are ready to completely eliminate the browser's competitors! This is not for one or two of us, but for all Internet companies! When the dark cloud of Microsoft floats over Silicon Valley, the entire Internet industry will be shattered! Does the Internet have a future?"
"What's even more puzzling is that Anderson actually turns a blind eye and is busy in the spotlight of the media every day? What qualifications does he have to represent us on the Internet? He's a lucky fool!"
"Boom ββ!"
The audience was in turmoil again. Regardless of whether what Li Yuan said was right or not, at least there was hot news.
The new power of the Internet has just risen, have you made a fuss yourself? And for the foreign Microsoft, did the three sing the Three Kingdoms Brawl?
"Lee! You accuse Microsoft of unfair competition, do you have conclusive evidence?"
"Do you need to ask? With a *** like Bill Gates, does he understand the Internet?"
Groove ββ!
Ying Xin was already squatting on the ground with a smile. Yu Shengkang was even more stunned. What about politeness? What about demeanor? What about diplomatic rhetoric? You didn't eat too much gunpowder, did you?
And Li Yuan seemed to be in high spirits, he raised his arms and shouted: "Down with *** Bill Gates!" Idiot Anderson fuck offββ!"
Yu Shengkang felt like he was about to cry. Okay, okay! Destiny! Take your powers!
Is there anyone who does this? Those are well-known international companies, so they won't affect the domestic investment environment, right?
"Microsoft goes to hell! Bill Gates and Anderson, the two sissies! Die to the sissyββ!
Yu Shengkang pounced directly on Li Yuan and stopped his continued spraying. The audience was already laughing. Anyway, this play is very interesting, huh?
"I'm sorry! Distinguished foreign correspondents." Yu Shengkang hurriedly said, "This is the end of the press conference."
Disgruntled boos rang out below. As a reporter, of course, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement: "Let it go!" We want Lee! To Lee! To Lee! β¦β¦γ
Seeing Li Yuan, you still want to struggle? Yu Shengkang exerted his strength to breastfeed, blocking Li Yuan and continuing to speak: "It's over now! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"And the Q&A session? Get out of the way!"
Yu Shengkang squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I'm so sorry! Mr. Li Yuan is not feeling well!"
γβ¦β¦γ
β¦β¦
"Yuanzi, you have made me miserable. What are you messing with?" In front of the hospital bed, Yu Shengkang was full of anger, and he was helpless against Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was lying on the hospital bed, eating the oranges that Ying Xin had fed: "Brother Kang, you can handle it. Didn't send me straight to psychosis
hospitals."
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan and Ying Xin looked at each other and laughed.
Do a full set of plays. Yu Shengkang directly handed over the ambulance, and under the siege of reporters, sent Li Yuan to the hospital.
"Yuanzi, let's talk about it from the bottom of our hearts, do you have an opinion on my brother?"
"No, no." Even if he gets the evidence, Li Yuan will never admit it, "I did this mainly to sow discord. After that, the conflict between Microsoft and Netscape will definitely intensify. Whatever the outcome, the concept of the Internet will definitely become more popular, and it will also drive the value of parallel lines!"
Li Yuan, of course, will not be so superficial. However, this reason is also one of the factors to consider.
In the original historical line, Microsoft's IE did adopt the method of unfair competition, and completely made the netscape dead. Although in the end, Netscape won the lawsuit and ruled that Microsoft violated the Antitrust Law. But what's the use? And you can't bring Netscape back to life.
Microsoft isn't bad for money at all, and it doesn't care about that little bit of fines.
As for Li Yuan's purpose - to detonate this powder keg in advance and attract the attention of Netscape!
Of course, this is not well-intentioned. Because of the bundling of IE, it will also affect the browser of the parallel line.
But more importantly, in this day and age, no one even understands that the Internet has an almost massive scale!
Here, there is the problem of poor information.
The three major artifacts of the initial stage of the Internet β the browser, the portal, and the search engine.
For a long time, everyone thought that these three artifacts were everything about the Internet!
In fact, if you look at the future, you will know that Microsoft has the browser Internet Explorer, the MSN portal, the MSN communication software, and the Internet software for many other applications......
But in the end? There is no use for fart! Even IE, MSN and other services have all been terminated.
Because Microsoft finally found out that the Internet is too big and too big to be a monopoly?
So here, Li Yuan is not afraid to detonate this powder keg at all. Anyway, it won't be worse, so let's muddy the water! You might even be able to fish in troubled waters.
And reminded Netscape later? Anderson is one of those tech nerds. Despise the "low-end" use of the Internet, and even unwilling to operate a web portal? Giving Yahoo a chance for nothing? And gave the throne of Yang Zhiyuan's second-generation purpose?
Scum like this? What about reminding him? Morning and evening are also the fate of receiving a boxed lunch. Li Yuan didn't see Anderson and his Netscape as opponents at all.
There is also the rest of life. It's disgusting to him, isn't it?
But Yu Shengkang is an old bureaucrat and an old oilman after all. He observed his words and looks, and quickly guessed Li Yuan's intentions: "Yuanzi, I assure you that I really cooperated with the help. Do you have any ideas for the future, can you discuss them with me in advance? I'm old and young, I really can't stand the wind and waves?"
"Huh. I didn't understand that. As soon as I saw you, Brother Kang, I felt like we were at first sight." Li Yuan snorted and said, "Brother Kang, don't care, I will definitely pay attention in the future."
"Huh? Do you have a future?"
"Hahaha......
γβ¦β¦γ
β¦β¦
Anyway, give the rest of your life Kangsheng some eye medicine, and let him settle down a little in the future. At least it doesn't affect ...... With Ying Xin's Qingqing, I'm me, right?
And the news soon spread in North America. America's young and old are happy to blossom - God! Did these high-tech elites in suits actually start shrewd scolding the streets?
As for those industry elites, they immediately analyzed Li Yuan's words and openly discussed them in the media.
There is no doubt that if Microsoft does this, it will definitely be unfair competition by the standard. And given Microsoft's past behavior, it's highly likely that it will do so.
Bill Gates has always been ruthless, how could he let Netscape go?
And Netscape and Parallel Line have encountered such a villain opponent, especially the size of this villain or a giant? It's true that there are some big things that are not good, huh?
But this
There's a problem with it β no matter how many predictions there are, it's just predictions, and this behavior hasn't happened at all. From a legal point of view, it is groundless accusation and slander!
You can't use something that didn't happen to give Microsoft a verdict, right?
Of course, Microsoft's reaction was quite violent. There are definitely a lot of lawsuits raised by their company, and they are all top-level lawsuits in the industry!
Within a few days, Microsoft issued a solemn statement: "...... We express our strongest protest against the malicious defamation of Parallel Line Technology and the CEO of Parallel Line Technology. And for Microsoft's reputational damages, it is demanding $14.3 million in compensation. For the loss of Mr. Bill Gates' personal reputation, he is required to pay $32.19 million in compensation......
Boy! I don't know how Microsoft calculates it? Is there still a whole zero in this compensation? A menacing look.
However, in the subsequent interview, Bill Gates was still so kind: "...... When it comes to the company's and my personal legal issues, I trust our team of lawyers and do not comment. However, I prevented them from filing a lawsuit right away. Personally, I still admire Lee. I hope he will reconcile with me privately and clear up those unnecessary misunderstandings. My Microsoft and I will never use unfair competition methods! We are also very optimistic about the future of the Internet......
