Song Yang was also a little surprised when he heard the news from Eileen on the phone. In fact, the news on the phone was quite beyond Song Yang's expectations.

"Is there a situation?!" Albert saw this and asked Song Yang.

Song Yang put away the phone, thought for a while, then looked at Albert and said, "Maybe it's really time to take action!"

After saying something to Albert, Song Yang left first and rushed towards the icq office building. Looking at Song Yang's leaving figure, Albert showed a look of interest. He wanted to see what Song Yang could do.

Which step to take.

As for what he said just now, Albert just reminded Song Yang that if Song Yang did nothing and any Netscape developed wantonly, or even seized Song Yang's territory, then Albert didn't know the final result.

Jing has not defeated Microsoft, but life is definitely not easy for Song Yang.

When Song Yang rushed to the icq office building, Microsoft was also holding a meeting at the moment. This was the first executive meeting held by Microsoft after it declared war on Netscape.

It has been over ten years since Microsoft went public. This situation of being faced with a formidable enemy has not happened for an unknown amount of time. This shows what is going on inside Microsoft at the moment.

“It’s been nearly two months since the Internet Explorer browser was launched, and it’s given me this kind of answer sheet?!”

Bill Gates held the report that the Internet Explorer browser occupied 5% of the American browser market in his hand, and asked a group of executives in a bad tone. Just now, those people in the marketing department actually have the nerve to ask.

He takes credit.

The marketing and sales executives who were seen by Bill Gates lowered their heads when they saw Bill Gates' gaze.

The Internet is not Microsoft's territory. Now Microsoft is a challenger. Netscape is the dominant player in the browser industry. It can get 5% of the market share in two months. The marketing department feels that it is already quite difficult. There is no other way.

Company, dare to challenge Netscape’s position in the browser industry?!

Seeing this scene, Microsoft felt helpless and angry. Now Bill Gates has really begun to regard Netscape as Microsoft's most important opponent.

Before the war with Netscape, Bill Gates began to pay attention to the threat of Netscape, but he was still not desperate. He believed that Microsoft would be able to defeat Netscape soon after entering the market.

But contrary to expectations, Microsoft behaves more like a novice in the Internet industry, being suppressed by Netscape in every aspect. Internet Explorer has gained some browser market share, but Netscape's market share is growing faster. According to this trend

, if we want to defeat Netscape, we still don’t know that it will be the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.

What worries Microsoft executives such as Bill Gates and Ballmer even more is that Microsoft's former rivals are moving closer to Netscape. Sun, Oracle, AOL, IBM, and even hardware companies such as Compaq have quietly begun to move towards Netscape.

Netscape leaned over.

But now Microsoft has been unable to conquer the high ground of Netscape and is blocked from the Internet. If it continues, Bill Gates is worried that Netscape may really become a climate and dominate the Internet industry and compete with Microsoft.

Sit on an equal footing.

By that time, it will no longer be the current situation. It is impossible to say that it will be replaced by Netscape and a group of Microsoft's sworn enemies, starting to counterattack Microsoft, and this situation is very likely to happen...

Bill Gates feels a little regretful now. If he had known this, he would have crushed Netscape like an ant to death before it had grown up, or swallowed it up when Jim Clark asked for cooperation.

The other party would not be in this situation today.

Turning to look at Ballmer, whom he trusted the most, Ballmer has made great contributions to Microsoft this year. The sales of Windows 95 system are in charge of Ballmer. Microsoft's system is indeed good, but it can be replaced within a few months.

With tens of millions of units sold, Ballmer’s strength cannot be underestimated.

"What does the sales department think? We need to increase the market share of Internet Explorer!" Bill Gates asked Ballmer.

At this time, Ballmer no longer had the usual smug smile on his face. He also felt the threat from Netscape. In other words, the Microsoft ship was really starting to get bumpy!

"There are two main problems. The first problem is that the technology of IE browser is indeed not as good as Netscape. User feedback is very bad. The sales department spends a lot of money on promotion, but the effect is not good!" Ballmer rubbed his chubby forehead.

The cheeks finally revealed that they were not soft enough.

After the words fell, Bill Gates sternly said to the executives, "From now on, everyone in the development department will cancel their vacations, and all 800 members of the software department will devote themselves to the development and upgrade project of the Internet Explorer browser!"

"No matter what method I use, the technology of Internet Explorer must surpass Netscape!"

His eyes were on Microsoft Chief Technology Officer Myhrvold and software department boss Elop. When they met the eyes of Bill Gates, the emperor of the software empire, they both nodded quickly.

"The second problem," Ballmer continued, "is that the Internet industry does not welcome Microsoft!"

Under Bill Gates' doubtful gaze, Ballmer said, "Because of Netscape and the media's false propaganda, the Internet industry is now very resistant to cooperation with Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. Even if we spend huge sums of money, infoseek, lycos

, Excite and other Internet companies are afraid of Netscape and dare not cooperate with Internet Explorer!"

"Companies such as AOL and Yahoo are unwilling or afraid to use Internet Explorer because of their relationship with Microsoft!"

In the Internet industry, Microsoft really feels like it has entered enemy territory. There are enemies everywhere. They either have a grudge against Microsoft or they are displeased with Microsoft. Anyway, since Microsoft entered the Internet, it has not even a single ally, and even money can't buy it.

No one else has this kind of popularity. I can only say that Microsoft was too domineering in the past and did things extremely well.

As soon as Ballmer said this, executives from the marketing department, sales department, promotion department, and public relations department all began to complain. An executive under the president of the public relations department, Tod, said with a bit of annoyance, "What if

If Microsoft can cooperate with, or even acquire, a major Internet company, it can open up the situation for Internet Explorer. If it can buy Hotmail mailboxes, Internet Explorer can gain 10 million users..."

"How could the hotmail mailbox be sold to us? The hotmail mailbox was supported by Netscape. Bruno Song even participated in Netscape's listing ceremony!"

As soon as the senior executive of the public relations department opened his mouth, another senior executive immediately poured cold water on him. In the eyes of many people at Microsoft and Silicon Valley, Song Yang was indeed a "Netscape" person and followed Netscape's footsteps. When Double Click was founded, Netscape

Jing had helped him, and I heard that Netscape founder Jim Clark and Song Yang were fellow Texas residents.

When Netscape went public, Song Yang's Double Click contributed to Netscape's performance. Song Yang still participated in Netscape's listing in person. It looked like he was in the same camp, so Microsoft never thought of wooing Song Yang from the beginning. After all,

Thinking about it, it seems impossible.

"How can you know if you don't try!"

Bill Gates said coldly, "Microsoft's only competitor now is Netscape. The other competitors, whether they are Sun, AOL, or other companies, Microsoft... can temporarily let go, or even cooperate, offer them prices, and ask them

How much does it cost to be willing to cooperate with Microsoft Internet Explorer?!"

Hearing what Bill Gates said, the entire conference room was in an uproar. This was almost equivalent to Bill Gates bowing to companies like Sun and AOL just to kill Netscape. Microsoft was bowing to these former rivals.

Even asking for peace!

This news is really shocking to people's nerves. If it gets out, I don't know how much of an uproar it will cause. The arrogant Microsoft empire just launched a new system this year. The empire that unified the software industry actually asked for Netscape.

It was really unexpected to ask for peace with the enemy.

Ballmer was not surprised by these words. He had already discussed this with Bill Gates. The most critical thing for Microsoft now is that if Microsoft cannot kill Netscape, it may really be killed by Netscape.

For this reason, I have no choice but to bow my head temporarily.

Now we are in a deadlock. Microsoft is not fighting Netscape, but the entire Internet, plus a group of sworn enemies. How can it beat each other to death?

If you want to kill Netscape, you need to break up the Netscape Alliance. For this reason, Bill Gates is willing to bow his head. He bows his head today in order to wipe out all his opponents tomorrow!

"I have sent invitations to major Internet companies to participate in this year's Microsoft Developer Conference. This is an opportunity for Microsoft to ease relations with the Internet industry, and it is also an opportunity to reach cooperation with Internet companies. We need supporters!" Bao

Ermo said in a deep voice.

Song Yang rushed back to ICQ's office building, saw Irene and asked directly, "Microsoft really sent Double Click, Hotmail an invitation to the conference?!"

Erin called just now and mentioned that Microsoft has sent an invitation to Song Yang at the upcoming developer conference and wants Song Yang to participate in this year's developer conference.

Microsoft holds a developer conference every year, or it can be said to be a martial arts conference in the software industry. Microsoft, the leader, distributes hero posts every year and invites major software and hardware companies to participate.

These software companies and developers basically develop software for Microsoft systems, and they all rely on Microsoft to make a living. But this year, they suddenly also sent invitations to Internet companies, which makes people speculate about Microsoft's thoughts.

Eileen nodded, "It's Microsoft Technology President Myhrvold who personally called and invited Song to attend this year's Microsoft annual developer conference!"

"Besides us, who else on the Internet has received the invitation?!" Song Yang asked Irene.

"I don't know, but even Feita has received invitations. I'm afraid this time Microsoft has sent invitations to many Internet companies!"

“Microsoft is anxious!”

After hearing this, Song Yang immediately guessed the answer. I'm afraid Microsoft's IE browser is not going well, otherwise Microsoft wouldn't be so eager.

"Then do we want to participate? If we do, Netscape may..." Irene said worriedly. Song Yang has no conflict with Microsoft yet. If we don't go, we will offend this software empire for no reason. But go

If so, it's hard for Netscape to explain.

While Song Yang was still thinking, a piece of news suddenly came out on the TV, which attracted the full attention of Song Yang and Irene.
