When the news came out, the entire Silicon Valley was silent. Everyone in the American technology industry had only one thought in their minds: Microsoft was going to be in trouble!

This time, Netscape spent all its money. The goal was to bring down Microsoft. Everyone understood that Netscape had already set up a team of luxury lawyers. Jim Clark gave up all his connections in America. Netscape

Jing stood with the federal Department of Justice and simultaneously initiated lawsuits and investigations against Microsoft in more than 20 states in America where the Donkey Party is dominant!

Andy Lake also watched the news on TV in surprise. From South Carolina to New York, and then from California to Washington, beacon towers were lit, all of which were clarion calls to launch an attack on Microsoft.

This time was the largest lawsuit ever filed against Microsoft in its history. Netscape single-handedly aroused dissatisfaction with Microsoft throughout America!

"Microsoft is really in trouble, and the federal Department of Justice is siding with Netscape!"

Andy Lake said solemnly. He looked at this matter more from the perspective of a media person. After reading the news, he hurried out. A reporter from TV station C called. Although C hadn't started broadcasting yet, he still wanted to follow up and report on this matter.

, experienced media people all know that this lawsuit will not be ended easily, and will become a hot topic in the news for a long time.

After all, this is Microsoft, the world's second-largest giant with a market value of over $300 billion. Once the lawsuit comes true this time, if Microsoft really changes, the entire technology industry will probably undergo a huge change!

"When Netscape went public, its stock price dropped from a high of $171 to $64, and it is still falling. Competition with Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser has given Netscape its market share, which has now fallen to

At about 50%, some Wall Street analysts believe that Netscape's browser market share will be surpassed by Microsoft next quarter, and it may fall into its first loss since its listing.

Wall Street and Silicon Valley investment institutions have also continued to reduce their holdings of Netscape stocks for two consecutive quarters. The value of important Netscape shareholders such as Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen has shrunk by about 35%, making them one of the few companies in the American Internet industry.

Many people whose worth has been damaged..."

On the TV station, the tragic experience of Netscape was also broadcast. It was a show of people and ghosts, and only Netscape was being beaten. Now the Internet industry is booming, and Internet companies of all sizes that are listed on the market are making a lot of money.

Netscape was the only one that suffered a blow, and the net worth of Jim Clark and others has shrunk a lot.

Under such circumstances, it would be unreasonable for Netscape not to hate Microsoft and not fight Microsoft tooth and nail. If it doesn't fight Microsoft tooth and nail, it will really stop working.

"Affected by the antitrust prosecution, Microsoft's stock price plunged by more than 6% today. A Microsoft spokesperson declared that Microsoft is not involved in a monopoly. The Internet Explorer browser is part of the Microsoft system, not a separate software, so it does not constitute a monopoly.

, expressed regret that the Ministry of Justice authorized the Columbia state court to hear the Microsoft antitrust case, and Microsoft will respond to the lawsuit!"

When Song Yang saw Microsoft calling a deer a horse, insisting that the Internet Explorer browser was part of the Microsoft system, he had a new understanding of Microsoft's ability to confuse right and wrong, and Netscape was probably going to be furious.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Song Yang watched the news on TV and saw that Netscape was attacking Microsoft.

I'm worried about Microsoft.

To cope with Netscape's mad dog-like bite, Microsoft may be exhausted. If it wants to get rid of the possible split, it will have no time to expand on the Internet!

Microsoft's influence in both software and the Internet is unimaginable. It is like a big mountain, pressing on the heads of all companies in these two industries. But now, Microsoft is entangled. Without Microsoft, the technology industry will

It's like being stuck in a vacuum, and this is an opportunity for other technology companies.

Seize this opportunity and seize more markets when Microsoft has no time to take care of it. When Microsoft comes to its senses, the entire technology industry will basically undergo a major reshuffle!

For Song Yang, this is definitely a good thing, as there is no need to go to all the trouble and compromise with Microsoft.

After seeing the news that Netscape had launched a war against Microsoft, and that a lawsuit of this scale could really tear Microsoft apart, the entire technology industry was shocked and instantly fell into celebration.

It feels like everything has been wiped out in one fell swoop. Microsoft's competitors, Oracle, Sun, AOL, etc., all saw their stock prices rise sharply at the same time. Even Apple, which had suffered a huge loss, was stimulated and its stock price soared!

Some people are happy, while others are sad. While Microsoft has won over its opponents and is in a state of revelry, there is some gloom and gloom within Microsoft at this time.

Bill Gates looked very unhappy and asked a group of executives, "So, there is no way to stop the antitrust investigation against Microsoft?!"

At this time, Bill Gates had not yet thought about retiring or going behind the scenes. He sat at the top and looked at the Microsoft executives. The executives who were seen by Bill Gates were all silent.

Word.

Chief Financial Officer Greg Maffei, President of Public Relations Todd, President of Technology Myhrvold, Head of Software Elop, and President Ballmer, who is speculated to be the next head of Microsoft.

There is also Microsoft's general counsel, who has allowed Microsoft to avoid countless antitrust investigations for more than ten years. Brad Smith, who has defeated opponents in court, is also sitting below, but Smith is also frowning at this time.

Looking at the list of legal lawsuits, he felt like his head was getting big!

"This is a conspiracy, a complete conspiracy!"

Myhrvold, the technical president of Microsoft, suddenly said loudly, attracting everyone's attention. Seeing the gaze cast by Bill Gates, Myhrvold said excitedly, "It's Bruno Song. He is the one who plotted against Microsoft. He

Let Microsoft bind the IE browser to the system, and all this happened. This is Bruno Song's conspiracy, he has anticipated everything!"

Microsoft, which has always been at the center of conspiracy theories, this time made a roar of conspiracy theories. Myhrvold believed that Microsoft was being plotted by Song Yang, who wanted to kill two birds with one stone and kill Microsoft and Netscape at the same time.

When Microsoft previously acquired the Hotmail mailbox, Song Yang used Greg Maffei and Todd to "offer suggestions" to Microsoft to bind the Microsoft system to the Internet Explorer browser in order to defeat Netscape.

Hearing Myhrvold's accusation, Greg Maffei and Todd couldn't help it. If this was Song Yang's "conspiracy", then the two of them would also be in trouble. After all, hotmail mailboxes, but

The binding strategy they led in the acquisition was also what they brought back to Microsoft.

"Bruno Song has already mentioned the consequences. He has done everything a collaborator can do. He reminded Microsoft and asked Microsoft to implement a free strategy. Facts have proved that Bruno Song was right!"

Greg Maffei glared at Myhrvold and said, Song Yang had clearly laid out the plan at the beginning and gave Microsoft three strategies: the upper, middle and lower strategies. The best strategy was to slowly develop the IE browser, continue to acquire products such as Hotmail mailboxes, and finally blunt the knife.

Cut off the flesh and slowly consume Netscape.

The middle strategy is to implement a free browser to grab users. The worst strategy, which is the last resort, is to use bundling. This strategy is the fastest effective, but also the riskiest.

Song Yang made it clear at the beginning that he was just digging a hole to see if Microsoft would jump. But Microsoft really jumped. Faced with the aggressive Netscape, Microsoft panicked and just wanted to kill Netscape. How could it care?

On to other.

We can't cross the river and fall into a pit. Let's blame the people who built the bridge. Without Song Yang's "help in times of need", Microsoft would have been beaten by Netscape at this time and would not be able to gain a foothold in the Internet!

But when people are unlucky, they always grasp at straws. There is no doubt that Song Yang became the straw for Microsoft today. After Myhrvold raised the conspiracy theory, another person, Elop, who was in charge of the software department, also spoke at the same time.

Said, "But Bruno Song is definitely one of the promoters of this Netscape lawsuit. Since this year, Double Click Company in his hands has been placing large amounts of advertising on Netscape. Now the advertising revenue has become Netscape's

One of the most important incomes!”

As the president of Microsoft's software department, Elop naturally has nothing to do with Song Yang. Microsoft also has instant messaging projects msn, portals, game departments, etc. There will definitely be competition between the two parties in the future. Elop does not want Microsoft to

, is too close to Song Yang. Otherwise, if Microsoft cooperates with Song Yang, the software department in his hands will be in trouble, and how will he get the funds?

Todd sneered at Elop at this time, "Then you think that Netscape is not enough trouble now, so you have to provoke Bruno Song, right?!"

As soon as I saw it, I began to deviate from the topic. It changed from solving Netscape's trouble with Microsoft to whether it was being cheated by Song Yang. Although Bill Gates also felt that he was cheated and that he was being tricked.

It feels like Song Yang has caught on to his psychology and manipulated Microsoft.

But Bill Gates knows better. Regardless of whether he was tricked by Song Yang or not, this is not the time to care about these things. The most important thing is to solve Microsoft's troubles, unless Microsoft is really tired of living and wants to have a fight.

Fight on two fronts and open a dungeon with Song Yang. Otherwise, no matter what the truth is, Microsoft will never provoke new opponents at this time.

"That's enough, today is not the time to talk about this!"

"Smith, what do you mean? How will Microsoft resolve these lawsuits this time?" Bill Gates still asked the people in the legal department.

"It's going to be very troublesome this time!"

Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel, rubbed his hair with a severely receding hairline, "The timing of Netscape's selection was too special and too sudden. Netscape had obviously been prepared for a long time, and everything happened too fast.
Chapter completed!
