Accompanied by Yu Shengkang, Li Yuan appeared at the press conference.
The reporters below slowly became quiet. Looking at the young and outrageous Chinese guy above, many people gradually became interested. Of course, the bald guy next to them just ignored him.
After greeting the reporters enthusiastically, Li Yuan sat on his seat and began to adjust the microphone.
"Li! Can you reveal the content of today's press conference?"
A Western reporter shouted loudly, not caring about etiquette. Ying Xin, who was watching from behind, became frightened - this dead man, said he wanted to make a big news? But he was unwilling to reveal any details at all? I don't know
Is this girl very tight-lipped? At most... I'll tell a few of my best friends? Ahem.
Anyway, the dead man’s attitude is not up to standard and he definitely needs to continue testing...
Facing the questions below, Li Yuan laughed and said: "I am honored to invite so many journalist friends today, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude. In fact, I should not hold this press conference. The real representative should be Netscape.
"
(⊙?⊙)(⊙?⊙)(⊙?⊙)……
There was a sudden silence below, and all the reporters became dumbfounded.
There are no auditory hallucinations, right? It represents Netscape? If my information is correct, the Yuan ger on the stage is the boss of Parallel Line Technology, right? And Parallel Line is also a big competitor of Netscape?
However, after being stunned for a few seconds, the whole place became commotion again.
Farke! There has never been a press conference like this - held by your own boss for a competitor?
Can you imagine the CEO of Coca-Cola holding a press conference for Pepsi-Cola?
"Lee! Can you be more clear? Are your parallel lines going to merge with Netscape?"
Everyone laughed. This was obviously impossible to happen. Unless Li Yuan had eaten too many brain fragments, he would agree to the acquisition of Netscape before the IPO. Moreover, such a strong alliance would definitely not pass the Anti-Monopoly Laws of various countries.
》.
When the laughter subsided, Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Why do I represent Netscape? Mainly because of the existential crisis of the Internet industry. Although Parallel Technology has never been afraid of any competitors, it must also humbly admit that at present, the Internet industry
Anderson, he is the standard-bearer of the Internet. Originally, I was still waiting for Anderson's self-awakening. But now I am surprised to find that he is a fool, and he didn't realize that he was about to die?"
"boom--!"
There was an explosion. Who is the most popular person recently? Netscape's Anderson is definitely one of the most promising candidates. But Li Yuan suddenly called him a fool?
"Lee, do you really think Anderson is a fool? Is this jealousy on your part? Or is there some other reason?"
"Isn't he stupid? Maybe Andreessen is a good software engineer, but he is not a qualified manager at all. A good Netscape? In the hands of this stupid ass? Might as well leave it to me. He
Why do you still want to be the standard bearer of the Internet? Don’t be embarrassed by appearing in Time Magazine, you’d better get out as soon as possible!”
From the very beginning, Li Yuan unleashed a violent output that shocked everyone. Ying Xin behind the stage was already bent over with laughter, while Yu Shengkang next to her was doubting life. What on earth is going on?
Finally, a reporter couldn't stand it anymore: "Li! You have to explain the reason, right? Casual abuse is not what a gentleman does?"
Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "Okay! Forgive me for my gaffe. I was mainly too angry and couldn't control my emotions. What if this was a competition between our parallel line and Netscape? Maybe I would appreciate Anderson's stupidity. But
This is a genocidal act against our Internet industry by some shameless, obscene, and hell-deserving villainous enterprise..."
"Wait a minute! Don't get excited." Amid laughter, someone asked, "Who is that villainous company with many adjectives?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course it's Microsoft?"
It was hilarious down there.
Well! As for Microsoft and Bill Gates, their image among all high-tech companies, especially among Internet companies in Silicon Valley, is basically similar to that of demons. This is not surprising.
But why is Li Yuan suddenly scolding Microsoft here? Now is not the time when Parallel Line is about to be launched. It has not yet reached the moment of hype?
"Li, I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said. Did Microsoft offend you? Also, do you want to help Netscape's Anderson quarrel with Microsoft? But even if you help Netscape, why do you call Anderson a fool?
?”
With a chuckle, Li Yuan said: "We all know that before establishing Netscape, Andreessen had invented the mosaic browser. Later, he independently invented the Netscape series of browsers. And we were the first to use them commercially.
Parallel series browsers. Currently, these two browsers occupy the main share of the browser market."
The reporters slowly quieted down. Aren't all these contents already public information?
Li Yuan continued: "Unfortunately, while we Internet innovators continue to work hard, the villain Microsoft quietly appeared. They purchased the Mosaic browser from Illinois University and then transformed it into the Internet Explorer browser.
We are preparing to promote it to the market when the Windows 95 operating system is released in the middle of the year."
"Uh..." The reporters' expressions were a little weird. Although doing this seems a bit unethical, it doesn't violate business rules, right?
Where did this Chinese boy get his glass heart?
Li Yuan raised his voice: "But what you don't know is that for this promotion, Microsoft adopted a free bundle model. This is unfair competition! They took advantage of their market monopoly and prepared to completely eliminate browser competitors! This
It’s not aimed at one or two of our companies, but against all Internet companies! When the dark cloud of Microsoft floats over Silicon Valley, the entire Internet industry will be hit to pieces! Does the Internet still have a future?”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What is even more puzzling is that Anderson turns a blind eye and is busy in the spotlight of the media every day? What qualifications does he have to represent our Internet? He is just a lucky guy.
idiot!"
"boom--!"
The whole place was in commotion again. Regardless of whether what Li Yuan said was correct or not, at least there was hot news.
The new Internet forces have just emerged, have you started fighting among yourself? And against Microsoft from abroad, have the three companies started a war of the Three Kingdoms?
"Li! You accuse Microsoft of unfair competition. Do you have conclusive evidence?"
"Do you even need to ask? With Bill Gates's bad writing, does he understand the Internet?"
Damn it——!
Ying Xin had already squatted on the ground with laughter. Yu Shengkang was even more shocked. Where are the politeness? Where is the demeanor? Where is the diplomatic rhetoric? You haven't taken too much gunpowder, have you?
Li Yuan seemed to be in high spirits. He raised his arms and shouted: "Down with the son of a bitch Bill Gates! Idiot Anderson, get out -!"
Yu Shengkang felt like he was about to cry. All right, Lord Yuan! Just accept your magical powers!
Is there anything like this? Those are internationally renowned companies, so they won’t affect the domestic investment environment, right?
"Go to hell for Microsoft! Bill Gates and Anderson, these two sissies! Die for the sissies——!"
Yu Shengkang pounced directly on Li Yuan, ending his continued taunting. The audience was already bursting into laughter. Anyway, this play is very interesting, right?
"Sorry! Dear foreign journalists." Yu Shengkang said quickly, "The press conference ends here."
There were dissatisfied boos from below. As a reporter, of course it is not a big deal to watch the excitement: "Give way! We want Li! We want Li! We want Li!..."
Seeing that Li Yuan still wanted to struggle? Yu Shengkang used his strength to stop Li Yuan from continuing to speak: "It ends now! Sorry! Sorry!"
"Where's the Q&A session? Get out of the way!"
Yu Shengkang forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "I'm extremely sorry! Mr. Li Yuan is unwell!"
"..."
…
"Yuanzi, you've made me suffer. What are you making trouble about?" Before the hospital bed, Yu Shengkang was full of anger, and he was helpless towards Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was lying on the hospital bed, eating the oranges fed by Ying Xin: "Brother Kang, you are such a capable person. You didn't send me directly to a mental hospital."
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan and Ying Xin looked at each other and laughed.
It was a complete show. Yu Shengkang directly handed over an ambulance and, surrounded by reporters, took Li Yuan to the hospital.
"Yuanzi, let's talk frankly. Do you have any objections to me, brother?"
"No, no." Even if he got the evidence, Li Yuan would never admit it, "I did this mainly to sow discord. Afterwards, conflicts between Microsoft and Netscape will definitely intensify. No matter what the outcome is, the concept of the Internet will definitely become more popular.
, can also promote the value of parallel lines!”
Of course Li Yuan is not that superficial. However, this reason is also one of the factors to consider.
In the original historical line, Microsoft's Internet Explorer did use unfair competition methods and completely destroyed Netscape. Although Netscape won the lawsuit in the end, it was ruled that Microsoft violated the Anti-Monopoly Law.
What's the use of this? It can't bring Netscape back to life.
Microsoft is not short of money at all, and it doesn't care about the small fine.
As for Li Yuan's purpose - to detonate this powder keg in advance and attract Netscape's attention!
Of course, this is not out of good intentions. Because the bundling of IE will also affect parallel browsers.
But more importantly, in this era, no one understands that the Internet has an almost massive scale!
Here, there is a problem of information gap.
The three major artifacts in the initial stage of the Internet - browsers, portals and search engines.
For a long time, everyone thought that these three artifacts were everything to the Internet!
In fact, if you look at the future, you will know that Microsoft has the IE browser, the MSN portal website, the MSN communication software, and many other Internet software applications...
But in the end? It was useless! Even services such as IE and MSN were all terminated.
Because Microsoft finally discovered that the Internet is too big and too big to be a monopoly?
So here, Li Yuan is not afraid of detonating this powder keg at all. Anyway, the result will not be worse, so let's muddy the waters! Maybe we can still fish in troubled waters.
And after reminding Netscape? Anderson is the kind of technology geek who despises "low-end" Internet applications and is not even willing to operate portals? He gave Yahoo the opportunity in vain? He also gave up the throne of Jerry Yang's second generation.
?
A scumbag like this? What can I do if I remind him? Sooner or later, he will be destined to receive a box lunch. Li Yuan did not regard Anderson and his Netscape as opponents at all.
And there is Yu Shengkang. Doesn’t this make him sick?
But Yu Shengkang is an old bureaucrat and an old man after all. He observed Li Yuan's intentions and quickly guessed Li Yuan's intention: "Yuanzi, I assure you, I really came to help. What do you think in the future?
Can you discuss this with me in advance? I’m old and young, so I really can’t withstand the storm?”
"Haha. I didn't understand what you said. As soon as I saw you, Brother Kang, I felt like we hit it off." Li Yuan laughed and said, "Brother Kang, don't worry about it. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
"Ah? Do you still have a future?"
"Hahaha……"
"..."
…
Anyway, give Yu Shengkangsheng some eye drops to make him feel more at ease in the future. At least it won't affect... the relationship with Ying Xin, right?
And this news was soon broadcast in North America. The young and old men in the United States were all happy - God! Did these high-tech elites in suits actually start to curse?
As for those industry elites, they immediately analyzed Li Yuan's words and discussed them openly in the media.
There is no doubt that if Microsoft does this, it will definitely be standard unfair competition. And given Microsoft's past performance, it is very likely that it will do that.
Bill Gates has always been ruthless, how could he let Netscape go?
And Netscape and Parallel encountered such a villain opponent, especially the villain's size is still a giant? Is there really something wrong with it?
But there is a problem here - no matter how many predictions there are, they are just predictions, and such behavior has not happened at all. From a legal perspective, it is groundless accusation and slander!
You can't use things that haven't happened to judge Microsoft, right?
Of course, Microsoft's reaction was also quite fierce. Their company definitely has a lot of litigators, and they are all top-notch litigators in the industry!
Within a few days, Microsoft issued a solemn statement: "...We express our strongest protest against the malicious slander of Parallel Line Technology and the CEO of Parallel Line Technology. We also demand US$14.3 million in compensation for Microsoft's reputational damage.
For the loss of Mr. Bill Gates’ personal reputation, he requires compensation of US$32.19 million..."
Good guy! I don’t know how Microsoft calculated it? Is there any part of the compensation? It looks menacing.
However, in the subsequent interview, Bill Gates was still so kind: "... Regarding the company's and my personal legal issues, I trust our legal team and will not comment. However, I still prevented them from filing a lawsuit immediately.
.I personally admire Li very much. I hope he can reconcile with me privately and eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings. My Microsoft and I will never use unfair competition methods! We are also very optimistic about the future of the Internet..."
