Rebirth, I am the most powerful business tycoon

I don’t know what price Sequoia offered, or for what reasons, it unilaterally broke the contract and no longer built-in Qiandu browser, and instead supported Netscape browser.

America Online followed suit and followed Global Online’s package.

We reached a strategic cooperation with Netscape Browser and launched a website similar to Qiandu URL Navigation. Its functions are completely copied from Qiandu URL Navigation.

In this way, the Windows system has a built-in Netscape browser, and the Netscape browser imports traffic to America Online through its website navigation station.

Relying on these operations, America Online’s traffic achieved a net increase of 300,000 people in just two months.

Although it is still half way to global online, if it continues to develop like this, it will definitely pose a threat to global online.

“I think our legal team should get involved. Since they want to fight, let’s play with them.”

In Xiangjiang Star Building, Jiang Feng said to Qiu Baijun and Lei Jun with a gloomy face.

“Didn’t we apply for a patent? The United States is not very strict about the law. This time I think we will wield the big stick of law to teach this plagiarist a lesson. Jiang

Feng said harshly.

Originally, he still had a good impression of Sequoia Capital.

After all, he was the first to discover the value of Star Group, but as soon as this incident came out, this good impression disappeared.

“I think not only did America Online and Netscape Browser sue, but Microsoft also followed suit and sued. They blatantly unilaterally broke the contract.”Lei Jun said with an angry look on his face.

It has to be said that the Windows built-in browser is very important to Qiandu Browser, second only to the MacOS system.

In this life, due to the early launch of the MacOS graphical interface system, In addition, under Jiang Feng’s strong request, Apple’s computers are no longer frighteningly expensive.

Maybe they are high for Hong Kong or the Mainland, but for people in the United States, the price is not expensive, and of course it is not cheap either. It is mid-range. level.

With its cost-effectiveness and graphics operating system, MacOS currently has a higher market share than Windows.

It can be said that MacOS occupies 70% of the entire operating system market.

And this proportion is still expanding……..

October 17, 1993.

The Legal Department of the American branch of Star Group officially took America Online, Netscape Browser, Microsoft and other companies to court.

For a time, all walks of life in the United States and even Hong Kong began to pay attention to this transnational lawsuit.

Steve Case is a master of cheating, throwing out a thick pile of technical documents and related materials to refute and prove that he did not plagiarize.

The proud Microsoft did not even send anyone to attend the court.

Netscape founder Marc Andreessen attended the court and completely rejected Star Group’s prosecution and did not admit plagiarism.

The court and Star Group would have spent a lot of time just studying these materials!

However, it is obvious that Star Group will win this lawsuit!

In order to win this lawsuit, Star Group acquired law firms and added its own team of legal lawyers, including more than a dozen American professional lawyers, many of whom are well-known in the legal profession.

There is no other way. Star Group is now rich and powerful, and behind it is a super boss whose net assets have just increased by nearly 20 billion US dollars.

Therefore, Star Group is serious about spending money on hiring lawyers.

Colleagues who are involved in the lawsuit, Qiandu Browser has an updated version. Not only is the response speed much faster, but the collection and multi-tab pages are also very popular among netizens!

As a plagiarist, Netscape Browser obviously cannot keep up with the pace of Qiandu Browser.

Netizens are not fools either.

It is clear at a glance who wants to launch new features, who is innovating, and who is plagiarizing.

Despite the backing of Microsoft and Sequoia Capital, Netscape Browser stumbled.

Even if Microsoft strongly promotes it.

As the lawsuit progressed and some American newspapers and weekly magazines were bribed, American society soon began to accuse Netscape of plagiarizing the browser.

For the United States, a country that attaches great importance to copyright, plagiarism is a severe blow.

Under a series of negative news, Netscape browser was uninstalled by a large number of users.

And because Microsoft was in a hurry and did not launch a Windows desktop system and support plagiarists, its sales fell sharply.

It can be said that Microsoft’s misfortunes never come singly.

Also affected was America Online, which had managed to accumulate hundreds of thousands of users. Due to plagiarism, failed lawsuits, and even the shrinkage of the Windows system market, traffic dropped significantly.

Global Online pursued the victory and signed strategic cooperation agreements with major newspapers in the United States.

Obtain the right to reprint the content.

In this way, it greatly enriches the content sources of global online and overseas news.

The paid media and newspapers scolded America Online in their newspapers.

“Shameless plagiarist, America Online should be shut down”

“America Online is a shame to the United States, a robber and a thief who only infringes on other companies’ patents!”

“colluding with each other…”

Facing the menacing negative fishing boat.

America Online was instantly infamous.

Microsoft was screwed by Netscape Browser and America Online.

Many users who purchased Windows systems complained about the built-in Netscape browser and claimed that they would return the products if they did not cancel.

Microsoft is also in trouble.

They took 20% of the shares of Netscape Browser. These shares were not taken for free. Windows systems must be equipped with Netscape Browser.

And also help promote it!

Microsoft is crying to death because it steals the chicken but loses the rice.

The stock price has dropped from $57 to $35 per share!

Later, in order to avoid sales and stock prices falling again.

Microsoft had to sue for peace with Star Group.

Star Group

“Mr. Jiang, this is a peace letter from Microsoft. They are willing to pay compensation of US$2 million, and the previous cooperation can continue.”

Lei Jun handed the faxed email to Jiang Feng with a smile on his face.

“oh?”

Jiang Feng smiled, picked up the file and looked at it casually.

He was immediately happy,”Microsoft really thought of this. It wants to avoid offending both parties. It actually has two built-in browsers. It’s really weird.”

“yes.

Lei Jun said with a smile:”However, judging from their quotation, they are willing to pay 50% lower than the previous price.””

“oh? 50% lower price?”

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:”That’s fine.”

“Although the number of users of Windows systems has dropped a lot, we cannot give up on the market. We reply to Microsoft and agree to their conditions.”

“In addition, we must continue to suppress Netscape Browser and demand compensation.”

Looking at Lei Jun and Qiu Baijun, Jiang Feng said with a serious face.

Netscape Browser is far more threatening than America Online.

“clear”……

Microsoft breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Lei Jun’s reply.

After this battle, they were frightened.

However, from this failure, they became more aware of the importance of desktop graphics systems and increased research and development in this area.

Soon, Microsoft informed Netscape Browser of its decision.

Ps: I have something to do today. I have been busy all day and my thoughts are a little confused. Sorry, I am working hard to adjust.

Ps: Regarding the seven female protagonists, except for the main wife who is Zhao Anji, the rest are all from Xiangjiang. Because of the website rules, it is difficult to name them. Subsequent chapters will intervene one by one.
