"Just at the end of last year, Microsoft secretly acquired the ownership of MOSAIC from NCSA, and at the same time hired his founder Mark Anderson to enter Microsoft to develop the browser." After packing up his things, he heard Carol hurried in and reported to him the information he just got.

Adam was not too surprised by the news, put down the coffee cup in his hand, nodded and said: "It seems that after our successful listing, Microsoft began to shift their attention to the browser, but obviously they are now stepping up the development of new browsers. The new generation of operating software, so there is no manpower and time to develop a new browser, but want to take a shortcut.”

"Then what should we do now?" Carol once again admired Adam's foresight. Although he believed that Microsoft would attack the browser one day, the time should not be so fast. He didn't expect that it was basically the same as what Adam said. It fits perfectly.

"It's okay, at least until Windows95 comes out, their browsers won't have much action. It can even be said that before 96, Microsoft couldn't spare time to make browsers, and when they spared no effort to develop browsers At that time, we were several steps ahead of them, and there was no way to catch up with them before 97, so we were still safe before 97.

Of course, I don't mean that we don't have to worry about it, but that we don't need to panic about it, and the original plan will continue as usual. "Adam said slowly.

They know that, at least for now, it is impossible for Microsoft to focus on the direction of the browser. After all, their foothold is the operating software, and they must put this in the first place. Only when they are successful can they have the energy to get away and do other things, and this time difference is Adam's opportunity.

"How is the contact on Wall Street?" Adam tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly.

Carol gradually relaxed under Adam's calm expression, took off his coat, sat in front of Adam and replied: "They are very active. It seems that the listing of Eden Garden has made them a lot of profits, so Many financial institutions welcomed our proposal and even offered many sincere conditions."

"After raising it for more than half a year, it's time to release it. Tell them that we plan to list Inspur before September this year. By the way, I hope that Yahoo will be independent from Nirvana as soon as possible. It will be even more beneficial.” Adam knew that if there were no changes, Microsoft would release Windows 95 at the end of August, and the launch of the Inspur portal at this time would also create an atmosphere and suppress the emergence of Windows 95 in the industry. .

"No problem. Since the number of users of Inspur has exceeded [-] million, we have started to work on this aspect, but why is the unicorn business not integrated into Inspur? If it is integrated, IPO will be easier and the market will be more optimistic. Since Adam explained clearly the positioning of Inspur from the very beginning, although Inspur was hatched under Nirvana, it has always developed semi-independently and independently. Now it has finally decided to IPO, and then independently and independently from Nirvana. It is not difficult. It's big, but it developed one step earlier than him, and now the unicorn with higher market response has been slow to move. Not only does it not have an IPO plan, but it doesn't even have a plan to put him in the wave. It really makes Carroll Some doubts.

"Inspur is a portal website, while unicorn is a social product. Although the two are related, they are completely different in terms of business direction and focus. I hope that each product is relatively pure, especially in the field of development. In the early stage, combining multiple products with equal importance but completely different focus and development direction will not only not help, but will drag each other down, which is what I want to avoid.” Adam explained to Carol again , In fact, he also knows what Carol means. After all, although Inspur has developed rapidly in the past six months, its foundation is not stable. It is fatal for a product. If unicorns are included, the popularity and heat accumulated in several battles will inevitably increase the overall value and make the IPO progress more smoothly.

"Then should we start the advertising alliance in the first half of the year, otherwise, Inspur's IPO will be more difficult." Carol agreed with Adam's statement, and then put forward his own opinion. Adam wanted to launch the advertising alliance in the second half of the year. After all, this thing still needs a certain amount of preparation time, and the market may not necessarily recognize it. It takes a few attempts.

Online advertising alliance usually refers to a network that gathers small and medium-sized network media resources to form an alliance, helps advertisers realize advertisement delivery through the alliance platform, and monitors and statistics advertisement delivery data, and advertisers pay advertising fees to alliance members according to the actual effect of online advertisements Advertising organization delivery form.

For various websites, this is the only possible profit point for the current development of the Internet, because Internet products are not like many real industries. After all, there are real things that can be sold for profit, even operating software and browsers. All can make profits by selling floppy disks, but if fully networked websites such as Inspur want to make profits, they can only start from this direction.

Facts have proved that this is indeed an important direction for the development of the Internet. Although it has caused inconvenience to Internet users to a certain extent, it has given many small and medium-sized Internet media the possibility of making profits and promoted the development of small and medium-sized Internet media. The development and growth of the Internet, which further promotes the prosperity of the network society, is an inevitable step.

"Yes, but we need to contact various online media, the more the better, we must monopolize this industry at one time, and more tests must be done on the platform, I don't want too many bugs to affect word of mouth after the implementation .” Adam pondered for a while, then nodded.

He knows that Carol's approach is still very correct. If the Internet Advertising Alliance is established next month, then a quarterly report will be released in a quarter. After three months of business comparison, this will be extremely beneficial for the IPO in the fall. He has to take this into consideration.

"It has entered the testing stage. According to the current progress, it can meet the requirements. In addition, the work of contacting various small and medium-sized Internet media and websites has been in progress. Those websites that have cooperated with us have expressed support for this proposal, and In terms of advertising, there are also more than a dozen companies that have participated in the idea, and the integration will probably be completed within this month, and the official trial will be available on the [-]st of next month." Carol, who had been prepared for a long time, reported to Adam with confidence.

"Just do as you said." Seeing that Carol had already made arrangements, Adam didn't say much, but brought up another matter: "In addition, the research and development of the instant messaging software project does not know how to proceed." How is it?"

"The research and development of instant messaging is not too difficult, and it is currently considered a Nirvana red project, so it is going very smoothly. The first trial version will probably be launched soon, and it will be officially launched in the middle of the year at the earliest." Carroll He slowly introduced it to Adam. In fact, he didn't think it was that important for this project. After all, the Inspur portal has already integrated the mail function, and the unicorn also meets the social function, so instant messaging seems a bit tasteless.

"I hope that I will be notified as soon as the instant messaging is successful. I want to participate in his internal test." Adam said happily. In fact, ICQ's development in the United States is not good. Although they have made a good start, it is a pity to find AOL (America Online) was a terrible boss. AOL acquired a lot of potential companies in the late 90s and early 21st century, but it was a pity that he killed them all.

In the end, ICQ was not bright in the West and bright in the East. After being improved, it became OICQ, which later became the Penguin Company, and finally developed into an Eastern giant. Similarly, relying on the huge number of users to become the Internet's tyrant?This is almost certain, but it's a pity that he missed this opportunity. It wasn't until Facebook was born ten years later that people suddenly realized it.

Adam is looking forward to seeing how this company that died prematurely will develop under his hands. If he can become a giant one day, then he will declare his attempt a success, just like he is trying to save the company now. Another Netscape, for the unknown future, Adam has a great interest in trying to try.

But before talking about the future, he must first step over a giant on their way to success-Microsoft.Although the current Microsoft is still practicing its internal skills and preparing to dominate the world of operating software, it has no intention of dealing with them.However, the development of the two companies will inevitably conflict, and neither will regress, because whoever regresses will withdraw from the stage of history.

In order to deal with this war, Adam has prepared a variety of weapons such as waves, such as ICQ, but the most fundamental is another method that is fatal to Microsoft, that is, based on HTLM5.0. With basic functions, users can run network applications, and no longer need to download and install specific plug-ins, so the functions of the operating system are greatly weakened. If HTLM5.0 technology is developed on the basis of Unix, then not only can Maximize the display of their Eden browser function, but also can directly confront Microsoft's Windows95 operating system.

The author has something to say: the new volume can basically be regarded as the ending volume, with a lot of clues, and I don’t know where to start writing. After struggling for a long time, I finally decided to use a simple chapter first Summarize the aspects.

But the task is very arduous. Whether it is the career line (Internet and film and television) or the relationship line (two people form a partner), a lot of plot is required. I am a little doubtful whether I can finish writing a volume. I don’t care if I continue writing. up.

Finally, let’s talk about the company’s private viewing of Wolf Warrior 2 this week. Have you watched it?The box office just exploded, it's unbelievable, I'm going crazy at the box office.
