Extraordinary Genius

“Jan, you have to give us an explanation for this. Why did you Yahoo attack us at Microsoft? How did we make a deal?” Ballmer questioned angrily on the phone.

“Ballmer, we didn't attack you Microsoft, it was all a misunderstanding.” Yahoo's CEO Yang Zhiyuan explained.

“Well, let me ask you, all those stories are wrong, aren't they? All journalists, like me, misunderstood, didn't they? ”

“Ballmer, you can watch the news video of the day, and you should even know what happened that day through your people. The one who made those inappropriate remarks was Masahiro Tortoise, president of Windstorm Holdings Group. What does that mean, you don't know?” Yang Zhiyuan warned.

“Hmm, but he's also the new director of Software. If he praised the browser for the ancient song, then you said he was doing it for Windstorm Holdings and I still believe it, but he praised your Yahoo browser for no reason whatsoever, right?” Ballmer was furious.

“This is their conspiracy, such a simple conspiracy, can't you see? He wanted to provoke the anger of our two companies so that the browsers of ancient songs could grow rapidly.” Yang Zhiyuan argued.

“Conspiracy? Who would have used such a bad conspiracy? If you say he's picking things up, then SoftBank will take him off the board, and I'll trust you. ”

“Ballmer, first of all, I cannot answer you on behalf of Soft Bank. I am not Sun Zhengyi. Secondly, even if you find Sun Zhengyi, he will not remove Masao Tortoise from the board of directors, which will have a great impact on the listed companies under SoftBank. ”

Shortly after joining the board of directors of SoftBank, Masao Tortoise was dismissed, which will definitely seriously affect the price of the listed companies under SoftBank, which means that the shareholders of SoftBank will lose money, and of course SoftBank will not be able to promise.

Not to mention, Yang Zhiyuan knows that the role of Masao Tortoise is not only to raise the share price, but also to make it easier for enterprises under SoftBank and SoftBank shareholders to enter the Huaxia market with Masao Tortoise's connections in Huaxia, or with the relationship of Wind and Rain Holdings in Huaxia.

Until these are complete, the status of Masahiro Takeda will not change. SoftBank also wants to make a profit by investing in the IT related industries of Feng Yu Holdings through Masao Kameda.

“Jan, I'll change the terms. You Yahoo came out and said that Masahiro Tortoise was wrong. ”

Yang Zhiyuan refused once again.

Are you kidding me, saying Masahiro Tortoida is wrong, doesn't that mean Yahoo's browser is better than Microsoft's IE? Even if anything happens, Yang Zhiyuan, the CEO of Yahoo, won't hit himself in the face.

Ballmer hung up, angry.

There's too much news on the Internet about Masahiro Tortoida, and unfortunately it was a press conference at Chitto, with IT-related media around the world.

And Microsoft engineers, at the time, did not make a strong objection, which led to a statement on the Internet that Microsoft engineers had acquiesced to Masao Kameda, and IE was not as good as Yahoo's browser.

As a result, IE browser usage has recently dropped rapidly, and Yahoo browser downloads have skyrocketed.

The browser itself is a free piece of software, but it can be profitable in other ways, such as advertising. Relevant statistics are also available, which can also be used for profit.

So many companies have developed their own browsers, and the first time they can promote the brand and technical strength of the company.

Yahoo used to be a browser, but it was based on the IE kernel. But now that Yahoo has broken away from Microsoft and made a browser that has mastered the core technology itself, it has dissatisfied Microsoft.

This is equivalent to Yahoo jumping out of Microsoft's browser industry standards and setting their own industry standards, then both sides naturally become competitors.

Microsoft and Yahoo would have enjoyed working together, especially in Huaxia Market, where people worked together a lot. The most powerful thing about Yahoo is that those foreign companies basically work with Yahoo. After all, Yahoo is the world's number one portal.

Yahoo is one of the best platforms including advertising, website links, information exchange, technology exchange, etc.

Microsoft and Yahoo had also negotiated to jointly develop various applications in Chinese in Huaxia, thus robbing the market of Lenovo Silver Mountain, and even the development of smartphone systems, both sides had begun to contact each other.

Anyway, Microsoft is the main thing, Yahoo can complement it, everyone works together to develop the system, Microsoft still makes big money, and it also has to follow Microsoft's brand name.

But now, none of this is possible.

These conditions set out by Ballmer were studied and decided by the Microsoft Board. If Yahoo refuses, then it means Yahoo is no longer in love with Microsoft.

Plus Yahoo has the help of Software, there are too many IT related companies under Software, who knows when to come up with a good idea and make a lot of money. And the technical strength of Software in IT-related industries, rather than the best in the world, has to keep Microsoft safe.

Is Software trying to support Yahoo, in terms of browsers, to grab Microsoft's market?

If the browser gives way, who knows if the next step will be too soft? Companies under Software, also do operating systems, do not intend to go beyond Microsoft.

There are other related software products such as players, and SoftBank is involved in hunting, or SoftBank's range of IT products, which is probably the largest in the world.

If a market that belonged to Microsoft was accidentally eaten up for soft walking, just when Microsoft fought Feng Yu, didn't it let Soft Walking pick up the cheap?

Microsoft suddenly suspended negotiations with Yahoo to cooperate on the smartphone operating system, and all other aspects of cooperation were suspended.

Just when SoftBank asked Yahoo what was going on, Microsoft's cooperation with a number of IT related companies involved in SoftBank was also suspended.

Microsoft used sanctions against Software.

Microsoft's self-confidence stems from the fact that they are the world's number one software brand, and any software company that works with Microsoft can get a lot of attention. If it is a listed company, the stock price will go up, because Microsoft's profitability is obvious.

So Microsoft dares to use this method to impose sanctions. There are too many enterprises that want to work with Microsoft. Although the companies under Software are good, they do not represent the whole thing.

Those small companies, out of Microsoft's embrace, will inevitably lose a lot, and Microsoft will not lose too much, and with the hegemonic clauses they have put in place, most of the technical information is in Microsoft's hands.

Microsoft did this, but it went soft.

At this point, Sun Zheng can't sit down either.
