Silicon Valley

　　 Ford Brook frowned and said, "Steve, Netscape browser has monopolized the entire Internet. Will it be difficult for us to challenge it?"

Steve had obviously thought about it before, and he responded directly: "You are right, but you have overlooked one point. Nothing can be monopolized forever! The reason why Netscape browser is popular with everyone is because of it. It is the world's first browser with a graphical interface. As long as we do better than it and have more functions, it will definitely be liked by users."

　　 Steve’s attitude and determination when he speaks are as unwavering as the place where he started his business! ! ! Whatever he decides, he must do it. He is confident that he can achieve success! And success is just paying more than others, and AOL has survived this way in his hands.

　　 Ford Brook was slightly startled, thinking that AOL can stand out on the Internet, not for no reason, their ceo Steve Case is a very tough personality and never give up!

　　 When Ford Brook thought, if AOL could replace Netscape, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

　　 "Steve, do you have any plans?" Ford Brook asked expectantly.

"First, dig people!" Steve said in a deep voice, "We are developing our own browser. The time is too slow. We must dig people from the Netscape browser development team to speed up the development of our AOL browser. ."

　　 "Secondly, create trouble for it. Netscape browser, relying on its dominance among the browsers, has been making waves on the Internet, and even forced the global online as its homepage. We can sue it for a monopoly and illegal competition!!!"

　　 "The third is publicity. In the Internet and reality, a lot of advertising is carried out!"

　　 "These three points are the most basic, but if you want to defeat the Netscape browser, you need to find another way." Steve Keston paused, glanced at everyone, and then said, "This other way is binding!!!"

Steve Case stood up all of a sudden and walked among the crowd and said loudly: "When AOL was established, almost no users used our online services. For the next one or two months, the company could almost every day. Will die, but even if we face such a difficult situation, we still persevere!!! We will go to every computer manufacturer to discuss cooperation and ask them to install our online service system! If they disagree, we will keep going until they Until I agree!"

　　 "A few months later, we finally succeeded, and Apple agreed to follow our online service system!"

　　 "Now, what we have to do is the same as before. Just change the online service system to our browser!"

　　 Steve Case suddenly raised his arms and said: "If all computers are bundled with our browser, then we will defeat Netscape!!!"

　　 After Ford Brook heard what Steve said, he was immediately excited. According to Steve’s plan, if everything goes well, the Netscape browser may definitely be pulled down!

　　 "Steve, we at Sequoia Capital will definitely support you!!!" Ford Brook said on the spot.

　　 That night, a very detailed and well-thought-out plan was completed in the voice of everyone.

　　 Steve Keyes named it "Project Cutout"!

　　 Henry didn’t know that Steve Case and others had already started a conspiracy plan to take away the Netscape browser as a thorn in the eye!

　　 Steve and Sequoia Capital joined forces. They are very vigorous and vigorous, and the methods are also very vicious and vicious. Within a week, Netscape browser was dug out by more than a dozen people, and even the original project team leader was also dug away. At the same time, AOL is still digging the e-mail research and development team, and five of them have left! Henry heard the news, and his face suddenly became frosty.

　　 hasn't waited for him to deal with the digging storm!

　　 AOL actually accused Netscape browser of relying on its monopoly position and illegal competition!

　　 Henry saw Geely Hurt holding the court's subpoena, and he was furious: "AOL is really hateful!!!"

　　 "Chairman, AOL has sued us for a monopoly and forced Global Online to be the homepage, thereby cracking down on competitors." Geely Hutt's face was also fierce. However, he speaks with a hint of helplessness. Netscape browser is indeed taking advantage of its monopoly to carry out commercial activities.

　　 Henry nodded and said he knew, and then asked, "Is Lawyer Will here?"

　　 "He is on the way!"

　　 Not long after, Attorney Will hurried over.

　　 Henry told him about the situation, and then asked: "Can this lawsuit be won?"

Attorney Weir smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's difficult! But, I can drag the lawsuit a little longer. You should also add an option to the Netscape browser's'Settings' item as soon as possible to allow users to choose the home page. In the end, even if you lose After the lawsuit, the judge will not punish us severely, at most a little more!"

　　 "Well. You go to deal with the matter of the case, and we will solve it as soon as possible on the Netscape browser side!" Henry nodded to Attorney Weir.

　　 Attorney Will chatted for a while, then went to prepare the materials, and went busy with the case.

Henry immediately told Geely Hutt: "Pay attention to the movements of the company's employees and prevent us from being poached by AOL! Although AOL launched a raid on us this time, it also reminded us! In the future, Nicholas must take this as a warning to avoid being passive. This time Nicholas was poached 20 or 30 technicians. We have to find the reason not only from AOL, but also from ourselves. Is the treatment of our company bad? Welfare is not good? Geely, please consider these carefully and write a report to me. At the same time, set up a judicial department to take charge of the company's lawsuits. I think it will be very exciting in the future..." Henry said to the end, his face Shang could not help but sneered.

　　 AOL and Sequoia Capital are provoking Henry!

　　 digging people and litigating again, it is simply Chi Guoguo's face!

　　 Sequoia Capital and Henry also began to drift away!

　　 The news of the Netscape defendant broke, and the stock immediately plummeted, and Netscape lost $200 million that day. Subsequently, AOL held a press conference to announce, "The original team of the Netscape Browser R&D team left and moved to the new owner, AOL, to create the best browser in history!"

　　 After the press conference, Netscape's stock plummeted, and the total market value drastically dropped to 1.5 billion US dollars!

　　 With continued reports from major media, Netscape stock will continue to fall.

　　 February 15th. A spokesperson for Netscape Browser said, "Netscape Browser has added users to freely choose homepage options, and there is no monopoly problem!"

The next day, Global Online held a press conference to announce: "'Global Online Email' already has 250,000 users, and an email plug-in for Netscape browser is about to be developed. Users do not need to open the global online website, but can also access Directly log in to the "Global Online Email" on the view browser!!!"

　　 Two pieces of news were released for two consecutive days, immediately restoring the confidence of investors. Especially when "Global Online Email" can be embedded on the Netscape browser, it adds a talisman to the Netscape browser! Netscape stock rebounded instantly.

　　 On the third day, Netscape Browser announced: “Netscape has 108 patents related to the graphical interface of the browser. For any patent infringement, our company will definitely investigate it!”

　　 Netscape stocks have soared again!

　　 AOL's face is not pretty.

　　 Steve Case made a gloomy face and asked Jack Milton, the person in charge of the email: "Can we bypass the Netscape browser's patent and develop a new graphical interface browser?"

Jack Milton smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid not. When we first developed the Netscape browser, Henry Williams asked us to set up as many patent barriers as possible. Therefore, we wanted to avoid the Netscape browser completely. Patent is simply impossible!"

　　 "Try to avoid their patents. If you can't avoid them, it doesn't matter. When our browser is launched on the market, it will be a big deal later!" Steve Case said solemnly. Steve Case understands that the United States is a country of lawyers, and lawsuits are being filed anytime and anywhere. It is normal for a lawsuit to drag on for a year and a half. Steve's mind is to drag the lawsuit, and then let AOL's browser seize the market. In the end, even if the lawsuit is defeated and the money is fined, it still seizes the market. For AOL, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

　　 What's more, the United States does not want Netscape to monopolize the entire market! AOL can pay patent money.

　　 Jack Milton obeyed Steve Case's instructions and nodded and said, "I see!"

　　 Jack Milton is one of the team leaders of the Netscape browser development project. He took almost all of his team to AOL. According to their development speed, it won't take long to design a new browser based on the gourd drawing scoop!

　　 AOL is in action, and the Netscape browser is not waiting!

　　 Henry summoned Jonathan Jackson, the CEO of Netscape browser, and Hank Payne, the chief technology officer. ~www.NovelMTL.com~Jonathan Jackson is forty-five years old, a professional manager, and formerly a product manager of Sony America. Hank Payne is twenty-nine years old and a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University. Because of his outstanding skills, he was particularly promoted!

　　 "AOL is going to have a browser war with us! You two, one is the manager of Netscape, and the other is the technical officer. What do you think about this?" Henry asked.

Jonathan Jackson pondered for a moment and said, "I think that on the one hand, we must pay attention to the situation of AOL, and on the other hand we must improve the Netscape browser. Jack Milton is familiar with Netscape browser, so we must Netscape browsers can be improved to completely overwhelm them!"

　　 Hank Payne said: "Users report that Netscape browsers are slow to respond, and it takes 2 to 3 seconds for the web page to appear. Therefore, we must try our best to solve this problem!"

Jonathan added: "Netizens report that entering the URL is too troublesome, and we can add the favorites function. If the user uses the favorites favorite website, the next time he wants to log in to the website, he does not need to enter the URL, just click the website in the favorites! The user experience is the most important for the development of the browser. Netscape browser has already occupied the market. As long as we always strengthen ourselves, AOL is not afraid of it!"

　　 Henry smiled, they were right, but marketing is also very important! In the past life, the Netscape browser was killed by the Microsoft IE bundled operating system.

　　 Although Henry doesn't know how AOL will promote the browser, he knows that those who come are bad and those who are good don't. Since AOL dares to challenge the Netscape browser, it must rely on it!
