Song Yang decided to sit back and watch the fight, at least for the time being, not to get involved in the war between Netscape and Microsoft. If he took action at this time, no matter who he was helping, he would be treated as cannon fodder.

After everyone left, Ulf explained a few words to Song Yang and then left temporarily. Tomorrow, he will go to the training base just built by Blackwater Company to select a person to come over and be responsible for Song Yang's security together. The two of them will

Take turns to be on duty to ensure that Song Yang will always have security following him.

In the rented villa bedroom, everyone else had left, but Irene stayed.

After tossing on the bed for a while, Irene focused her eyes on Song Yang's face, then looked at Song Yang and said, "Song, do you have any plans?!"

After today's incident between Netscape and Microsoft, the entire Internet industry is probably making its own calculations. Regarding Microsoft's entry, they are probably thinking about where to go.

But Song Yang seems a little indifferent, and doesn't seem to be too worried about Internet companies like Microsoft, which avoids snakes and scorpions.

Song Yang looked at Irene in his arms, stroked her blond hair, and yawned lazily. Microsoft and Netscape had such a big battle today. I don’t know if they are tired. Anyway, Song Yang felt

Everyone is tired from watching the show.

"There is an old saying in the East that if the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding it up. If Microsoft enters the market, at least it won't be a bad thing for us now!"

"Netscape's energy is focused on Microsoft. For double-click, Hotmail has much less pressure."

Song Yang knew that Netscape had been focusing on the search, portal, mailbox and other industries. Without Microsoft, it is estimated that the American Internet industry would have started internal strife by next year at the latest. Major Internet companies were fighting with Netscape, but

Now Netscape is expected to be overwhelmed by Microsoft, and instead has to win support from Songyang, Yahoo and other companies.

Irene would not be fooled by Song Yang's words, "So Song, which side will you support?!"

In Irene's expectant look, Song Yang said a wise saying, "Of course I am on the side of the winner..."

Irene pinched Song Yang in dissatisfaction. She thought Song Yang would say something righteous and awe-inspiring, just like Anderson today. Even if Anderson said nothing today and felt a bit pretentious, he dared to stand up and be tough.

Microsoft and countless Internet practitioners began to truly regard Anderson as an Internet hero, and Anderson gained a lot of popularity.

This pinch made Song Yang scream in pain. Song Yang didn't know what was wrong with Jenny and Irene. Jenny liked to bite people in bed, and Irene liked to turn into a little wild cat and pinch him. Song Yang

Feeling that I couldn't tolerate their bad habits, I counterattacked and also grabbed Eileen. Suddenly, the bed turned into a battlefield again.

The next day, all major media outlets, as expected, were covering the news that Microsoft was seeking to acquire Netscape. The sky was full of all kinds of news.

Marc Andreessen also got his wish and became America's digital hero. The media almost praised Anderson and Netscape, and also ridiculed Microsoft for overestimating its capabilities.

The media and newspapers here in Silicon Valley used headlines such as "Netscape can say no to Microsoft" and "Microsoft's beautiful knife can't buy everything" to tell Microsoft to take its stinky money and get out of Silicon Valley!

Wall Street also defined what happened yesterday, that is, neither Netscape nor Microsoft took advantage this time.

After Netscape's stock opened, it immediately jumped from yesterday's $150 to a sky-high price of $170. The market value exceeded $5 billion. The market was flooded with news about Marc Andreessen and Future Network.

There are rumors that King will defeat Microsoft in the browser field, etc.

But immediately afterwards, Netscape's stock began to plummet as if it had taken laxatives, and major Wall Street institutions and investment banks began to sell Netscape stock one after another.

Wall Street never believes in chicken soup, nor does it believe in heroes. Although the media is praising Anderson, it is obvious that the investment industry is not optimistic that Netscape can beat Microsoft. Even if the media hypes it, major institutions and investment banks still take the opportunity to ship.

Not to mention Microsoft. Yesterday, I was optimistic about Microsoft because Microsoft wanted to acquire Netscape and transform itself into an Internet company. However, if the acquisition failed, investors naturally voted with their feet.

After the market opened, Microsoft's stock price plummeted 7%. The stock price fell below 90 US dollars and reached 87 US dollars. In this moment, the value of Bill Gates, Ballmer and others that Microsoft helped dropped by hundreds of millions.

Billions of dollars, not to mention the Microsoft board of directors.

Song Yang in San Jose is just like in the past. Except for the University of San Jose, he basically goes to companies such as ICQ and Fortinet to process documents from Houston.

Of course, Song Yang is also watching the news in the Internet and Microsoft industries. Netscape's rejection of Microsoft's acquisition has greatly boosted the morale of the American Internet industry, and companies such as Yahoo are still preparing to go public in full swing.

Microsoft also seems to be particularly calm. The stock price has plummeted in recent days, but Microsoft still holds meetings continuously, but there is no news.

Song Yang did not think that Microsoft was scared off by Netscape. On the contrary, Song Yang felt that Microsoft was holding back its big move and was paying more and more attention to Netscape. Otherwise, how could it have waited so long.

And just when Song Yang and countless media were eagerly anticipating it, Microsoft held a media conference at its headquarters in Seattle.

Just like the crowded Netscape headquarters in the past few days, Microsoft's media conference this time was equally grand.

Bill Gates attended with a group of Microsoft directors and executives. Facing the media, Bill Gates unabashedly said that Microsoft was going to enter the Internet. "In order to prevent the Internet from being monopolized by Netscape, Microsoft has an obligation to enter and

To expand its influence on the Internet, Microsoft will launch Explorer browser IE to compete with Netscape browser!"

Erin, who was watching the broadcast of Microsoft's press conference with Song Yang, couldn't help but have a thunderous expression on her face when she heard Bill Gates tell her the reasons for entering the Internet. It took a long time before she came back to her senses.

Come.

"He said that in order to prevent Netscape from monopolizing the browser, Microsoft had to launch a new browser?!" Irene said to Song Yang in a dumbfounded voice, so much so that Irene couldn't even care about Microsoft's introduction to the Internet Explorer browser.

Microsoft itself looks at the operating system and monopolizes the global software industry, and now it has the nerve to prevent others from monopolizing it. Eileen doesn't know how Microsoft has the nerve to say this.

Song Yang watched the performances of Bill Gates and Microsoft. The Internet has become a bit big these days, and he is a little overwhelmed.

Microsoft is obviously disgusting with Netscape. Netscape's browser is called Navigator and Microsoft is called Explorer. Especially Microsoft's IE browser technology was purchased from the "Die Cup" company that developed the same family as Netscape's browser.

, Song Yang even understood that Bill Gates was on the disgusting side of Netscape. Of course, Microsoft also wanted to use Gusu Murong's stunt of directly copying and pasting the Netscape browser.

Mosaic, the predecessor of Netscape's browser, had technology from the University of Illinois. The University of Illinois sold this technology to Spy Cup, and now Microsoft has bought this browser technology...

Although everyone knows that Microsoft is disgusting Netscape, but speaking of it, Microsoft's banner of restoring the Internet industry to a prosperous future is indeed correct.

"Microsoft is right about this. Netscape's browser market share in America has exceeded 85%. Microsoft launched Internet Explorer to prevent Netscape from monopolizing the browser market. It is not wrong!" Song Yang said helplessly.

Erin said.

The smile on Eileen's face froze. She didn't expect that Microsoft really represented "justice" this time. She really couldn't fault it. This kind of thing that she knew the other party had ulterior motives, but still had to praise the other party, made Ai Lin

Lin felt really uncomfortable holding back.

It's not just the discomfort that Irene is holding back. Looking at Netscape in this media conference, it is probably even more uncomfortable. They know that Microsoft is here to do them, but they can't complain. Microsoft is "forced" to enter in order to prevent Netscape's monopoly.

In the Internet industry, is it wrong? According to what Microsoft said at the press conference, the Antitrust Department of the American Ministry of Justice owes Microsoft a medal!

"Microsoft will spare no effort and devote everything to make IE the Internet product with the most advanced technology and the most users in the world!" These were Bill Gates' last words at the media conference, expressing Microsoft's commitment to this browser war.

Determination to fight.

Microsoft's press conference was criticized by many people, especially Microsoft's claim to represent "justice", which was dismissed by many people. Everyone knows that Microsoft's entry into the browser industry is just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to the rooster, which is not good-hearted.

But as Song Yang said, the media has not been able to directly accuse Microsoft of resisting Netscape's monopoly in the browser industry.

"threaten?!"

"To be honest, I don't know who is using Internet Explorer, a browser technology that Netscape eliminated two years ago!"

Netscape, Jim Clark and Andreessen who were interviewed were asked by reporters whether they would feel the pressure and threat brought by Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Both Jim and Anderson burst into laughter, and both expressed their disdain for Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, thinking that Internet Explorer was a discarded product that no one would use at all.

However, after the interview, Jim Clark changed his expression again, and said to Anderson, Baxter and other Netscape executives, "Netscape must absolutely ensure that it is the leader in browser technology and must always ensure that it surpasses IE by more than six months."

Technical advantages!"

"We also need to make sure that the Internet industry is supporting us, and more companies are willing to develop programs and software with Netscape as the core!" Baxter said, this is a war, not only technically, but also with friends.

The battle for business is an all-round war.

Anderson also said at this time, "In terms of users, we also need to pay attention to not letting the users of IE exceed Netscape. We need to guard against the Internet industry. Companies with huge user base suddenly turn to Microsoft!"

Hearing Anderson's words, Jim and Baxter both knew who he was talking about. This was indeed a risk for Netscape. If an Internet company with more than 8 million or even 10 million suddenly fell to Microsoft, then
Chapter completed!
