Back To 1995: Chapter 658 Misfortune diverted to the east

  Chapter 658 Misfortune diverted to the east

   "President Todd!"

  For Todd's arrival, Song Yang seemed very "enthusiastic", "It's really been a long time!"

Todd looked at Song Yang's face, but he couldn't see any abnormality. It seemed to be the same as when he saw him last time. It didn't look like he was about to overturn the table and turn his face. This made Todd a little confused about Song Yang. thoughts.

  Eliott and Todd both stayed at the villa. It was rare for so many people to dine. Daana prepared a big Italian meal.

   "Mrs. Greg, thank you for your hospitality. This is the best Italian meal I have ever had, bar none!"

As the headquarters of Microsoft's PR department, Todd's methods of building relationships needless to say. Hearing Todd's words, Dana's face showed joy. Couldn't be happier.

  Todd looked at Song Yang and made a "request" expression. Seeing this, Song Yang nodded, and the two walked towards the study.

After entering the study, Todd immediately changed his face as if he had changed his face, and asked angrily, "Song, Bill Gates and Microsoft's board of directors, let me ask you, are you going to start a war with Microsoft? !"

Song Yang paused his hand pouring the drink, as if "surprised", Todd would ask such a question, and his face darkened, "President Todd, I don't know what you mean, I still have the Bruno family , has always regarded you as the best friend of the Bruno family..."

It is absolutely unacceptable to backstab Microsoft. Microsoft has a bad reputation. It has backstabbed too many friends. Yang will definitely not do it again.

Before Todd could speak again, Song Yang waved his hand and began to "reminisce", "President Todd, the first time we met was because of Hotmail. At that time, Netscape, SUN, AOL, etc., the entire Internet industry followed The technology industry is blocking Microsoft from entering the Internet industry, only Hotmail is willing to cooperate with Microsoft's IE browser!"

Todd was a little shocked when he heard this, and the look of asking the teacher just now disappeared without a trace. If nothing else, did Song Yang deliberately cheat Microsoft and provoke a war between Microsoft and Netscape? Let’s just say that back then, Song Yang sold Hotmail to Microsoft at the risk of the world’s disgrace, let Microsoft enter Shanhaiguan, and entered the Internet industry. Otherwise, it’s hard to say what the Internet is like today, and Todd is absolutely impossible. Get so much credit.

   "There are also ICNC TV Station and Sega Console, all of which are cooperating with Microsoft, but what about Microsoft?!"

Song Yang looked at Todd coldly, "Microsoft has launched MSN, competed with ICQ for the social market, and developed the WP mobile operating system. That guy Terry Meyerson has said more than once that he wants to replace Symbian with Alcatel. The mobile phone is driven out of the mobile phone industry, this is how Microsoft treats allies?!"

  Todd was dumbfounded when he was asked. He always felt that something was wrong. Didn't he come to ask the teacher today, but why did he become the one being questioned instead?

  What is the best and highest state of beating up? It is to cut down the other party, and the other party has to apologize, and then admit the mistake. In the face of Microsoft, you can’t admit your mistake anyway, or you will be beaten.

  Although it feels wrong, what Song Yang said is the truth, and Todd can't object. These are the unspoken rules under the table. This is basically the case among major companies, and they stumble each other.

Back then, he was still a young and ignorant young man, Joe, who often took Bill Gates to visit Apple's office and asked Microsoft to develop software for Apple computers. As a result, Microsoft copied homework backhandedly and developed a graphical operating system. Joe was almost killed cry.

The same is true in the Internet industry. Microsoft launched MSN to enter the social market, created the WP system, and competed with Symbian. These are all normal things. Yang also came up with a PC operating system.

  But Song Yang carried out the things under the table, which made Todd a little embarrassed. On the surface, Song Yang did not attack Microsoft, but Microsoft was dishonest and added trouble to Song Yang.

   "Song, Microsoft is very big, with many departments and personnel. Not all departments can think the same. President Bill Gates and Microsoft's board of directors have no intention of going to war with ICQ and Alcatel mobile phones!"

  Todd also opened his eyes and talked nonsense, throwing out that set of classic theories, the emperor is good, and those who do bad things are those eunuchs, and they don't even know it.

  In Microsoft, it means that Bill Gates doesn't know at all, MSN, WP system, etc., all the major departments under it are doing their own thing, and have nothing to do with Bill Gates.

After coughing, Todd knew that he couldn't talk about it anymore. If he kept talking about it, he knew it would be the year of the monkey. He finally understood that Song Yang didn't want to talk about Netscape with him at all today, which made him feel worse. He is worried.

   "Song, there are some things that can be done, but some things that must not be touched, just like Netscape!" Todd stared at Song Yang and said.

   "I can understand that President Todd is threatening me?!" Song Yang asked directly without backing down.

  Todd shook his head, "no, just a kind reminder!"

   "Song, there are many Internet industries. Your North American Global Investment Foundation has already entered social networking, games, e-commerce and other industries. Why do you want to enter the browser market? This industry can't make a dollar at all..."

Todd spoke earnestly to Song Yang, wanting to persuade Song Yang to let ICQ leave the right and wrong place in the browser market. Microsoft did not make any money in the browser industry. Don't go in this muddy water.

Song Yang took a sip of his drink, looked up at Todd, and said helplessly, "President Todd, you know me, and I have always been unwilling to go to war with Microsoft, but ICQ is now listed, and I am not the only one who said Forget it, ICQ has a president, a board of directors, and Wall Street investors, and I cannot deny all decisions made by ICQ!"

  Todd twitched his face a few times, and it was fine for Song Yang to mention other reasons, but when it came to this, Todd felt a little outrageous.

Song Yang is the largest shareholder of ICQ, ICQ management, from top to bottom are Song Yang's people, if Bill Gates has lost the absolute controlling stake in Microsoft, it is understandable that some of the people at the bottom will say otherwise, But what the hell, Todd felt like he was lying when he heard that Song Yang couldn't control ICQ, and the fools don't take such fools!

  Taking a deep breath, Todd said directly to Song Yang, "Song, I am here this time because of Bill Gates' wish. He doesn't want ICQ to acquire Netscape, which is not beneficial to either of us!

  If, Song, you can get ICQ to give up the acquisition of Netscape, Microsoft is willing to make compensation in other ways! "

   "Microsoft abandoned the WP system?!" Song Yang replied with a half-smile.

Todd, who just took a sip from his wine glass, almost spit it out, Song Yang, this is really a pot that can't be opened, and Todd just said that the WP system is going to be against Saipan, Bill Guy Ci didn't know it, but asking Microsoft to give up the mobile phone operating system market would be ridiculous. Todd wouldn't dare to agree to such a thing.

Todd covered up his embarrassment with drinking water, waiting for Song Yang's decision, and now it's up to Song Yang to agree to Microsoft's condition. There is no point in staying any longer, Microsoft is really preparing for a new war.

   After waiting for a while, seeing that Todd's patience was about to be exhausted, Song Yang finally spoke.

   "Microsoft needs to promise me a few conditions!"

   "Please speak!" Todd cheered up, sat up straight, and looked towards Song Yang.

  “ICQ can give up the acquisition of Netscape, but Microsoft can’t compete with Firefox for the mobile browser market!”

Song Yang put forward the first condition, which is to let Microsoft give up the mobile browser market. If Microsoft wants the PC browser market, then Song Yang will give it up. It is not Song Yang's anyway. As for selling Netscape again, then ...and sold it, no one cared anyway.

The Firefox browser comes with the Symbian system and is a product of Symbian. Now, as long as the mobile phone brand is equipped with the Symbian system, it will come with a Firefox browser. Symbian does not require bundling, but there is no first one on the market Two mobile browsers, the mobile browser industry is basically dominated by Firefox.

In the browser industry in the future, I don’t know whether the browsers on computers will make money or not, but the browsers on billions of mobile phones around the world will definitely not be able to lose money. , Input method, portal website, news selection right, whoever controls the mobile browser indirectly controls these industries!

   Without waiting for Todd to agree, Song Yang put forward the second condition, "Microsoft MSN cannot compete with ICQ in the social market..."

"This is impossible!"

  Todd blurted out, and then felt a little embarrassed, "Song, you know, it is impossible for Microsoft to agree to this condition. Even if I agree, Microsoft may not accept it, even if the agreement is signed!"

Todd said honestly that the social industry is too important. With the 100 million users of ICQ, Microsoft should not be too greedy. Let Microsoft give up the social industry. Song Yang, Microsoft will still make small moves in private.

  Song Yang rubbed his brows, "That's another way!"

  “ICQ supports Microsoft MSN and becomes the leader of the portal website. After Microsoft MSN defeats Yahoo, AOL, Lycos, etc., it will fight the social industry war with ICQ. The portal website also has a huge number of users!”

  Song Yang directly made a move to divert the water to the east, and asked Microsoft to compete with Yahoo and AOL for the portal, and after Microsoft MSN took over the portal, they did a real fight with ICQ.

   "Todd, I have no intention of entanglement with Microsoft, at least not now, if Microsoft must launch a war in the social industry, then ICQ may find new allies..."
