giants of the era

Chapter 366 In front of Lao Tzu, I dare not fart!
After finishing the TripAdvisor travel website at this stage, Apple held a product conference and announced the Safari browser.

Safari browser caused a sensation and hot discussion.

Without him, the designer of the Safari browser is Li Zetian.

As we all know, the designer of Netscape Browsing is also Li Zetian.

Therefore, people can't help comparing Safari and Netscape browsers!

The media has always been watching the excitement and not thinking it is a big deal, and they like to add fuel and vinegar to make some explosive news.

"Microsoft and Apple, who is Chronos Li's true love?" ! "

"Chronos·Li personally designed the Safari browser to defeat the "big son" Netscape browser? "

……

At present, many Microsoft employees and shareholders also have opinions on Li Zetian, and there are many discussions.

"Chronos Li is also really, why did he help Apple design the Safari browser, isn't he a major shareholder of Microsoft?"

"What the hell! Microsoft's stock price plummeted immediately after Apple released the Safari browser!"

"Hey, Chronos Li should be treated equally, how can they be treated differently?"

"That's right, Chronos Li designed the Safari browser for Apple, but Netscape was purchased by Microsoft. Thinking about it, it's not fair!"

"..."

In particular, the shareholders of Microsoft were very dissatisfied with Li Zetian and lost their interests. Many people even criticized Li Zetian when they were interviewed by reporters.

In Beverly Hills, Li's mansion, Li Zetian was speechless watching the news.

"What's the matter, brother, didn't you just design the Safari browser for Apple, you're paralyzed and scream at me, when I was designing for Microsoft, I didn't see people from Apple treat me like this After all, it is a listed company, and it is very different from a private company!" Li Zetian said angrily.

Not long after, Bill Gates called.

"Chronos, I'm very sorry. You know those Wall Street capitalists. You give them money, and they confess you as a god of wealth. If you lose money, they all become white-eyed wolves. As for the company's employees, I'll explain it to you."

"En." Li Zetian responded.

Bill Gates can take it easy. Li Zetian is both the boss of Apple and the major shareholder of Microsoft, so there is no problem with helping both.

And in the eyes of Bill Gates, Li Zetian is more important than Microsoft.This time he established TripAdvisor, Li Zetian was lucky to be able to recruit him into the team!A senior commentary agency on Wall Street has valued the TripAdvisor travel website. Only a week after the website was officially launched, the market value of TripAdvisor has exceeded 60 billion US dollars, which shocked Bill Gates.This made Bill Gates more determined to make friends with Li Zetian and maintain this friendship that started from college!

After Li Zetian and Bill Gates hung up the phone, their minds began to move.

Listed companies are very troublesome. Whenever they do things that harm the interests of shareholders, they will make noise and curse people, which makes Li Zetian very unhappy.

"Microsoft's current market value is 1550 billion US dollars, which is far from the subversion of nearly 6000 billion US dollars in the previous life! When the market value is close to 5000 billion US dollars, start cashing out! At present, the market value of Internet technology companies is generally inflated. The TripAdvisor website has been officially launched for more than a week, and this is 60 billion US dollars, which is too exaggerated! Therefore, the Internet bubble burst in 2000 in the previous life will probably repeat the same mistake in this life!!"

Speaking of this, Li Zetian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, "After the Internet bubble burst, the Internet winter ushered in, and Microsoft's market value of more than 6000 billion U.S. dollars dropped to below 2000 billion U.S. dollars in vain! At this time, I will take action to recycle Microsoft's shares, and finally Take it private and get out of Nasdaq!!"

Immediately, Li Zetian was in a much better mood, called Jobs and asked, "Jobs, how many users are there in the Safari browser?"

With joy in his tone, Jobs replied: "More than 30 users have been added on the first day!"

"Hehe, it looks like there are a lot of Apple fans!" Li Zetian laughed.

"Mr. Li, the Safari browser designed by you is very good and very popular. Netizens who have used it praised it!"

Li Zetian smiled softly, joking, who is the brother, brother is hanging on, the Safari browser was designed and developed with reference to the Apple computer browser in the previous life, it is definitely crushing this era!
"Jobs, in the high-end market, the users of Apple computers are the most. These people are relatively rich. Presumably most of them should have opened up Internet services! If you do this, let Apple's operating system pop up a system update software. After the user clicks 'system update' , download the Safari browser immediately!"

Hearing this, Jobs couldn't help applauding: "Mr. Li, your idea is really great. In this way, Safari browser can quickly defeat the macOS version of Netscape browsing! From now on, Safari browser and Netscape browsing is completely different, and each uses its own operating system. Apple will not be subject to Microsoft because of the browser!"

Li Zetian nodded with a smile, and then ended the call.

Jobs was so excited that he immediately called Wozniak over, and then told him what Li Zetian told him.

Wozniak couldn't help but praise the brilliant electronics.

In fact, this kind of idea was very common in previous lives, but now it is 1993, the Internet has just emerged, and people don’t know enough about the Internet, so they didn’t think of this method for a while.

"Okay, I see, I'll do it right away, this thing will be done soon!"

After speaking, Wozniak turned and left.

That evening, all Apple computers popped up with an offer to update the operating system.

In addition to adding the Safari browser, Wozniak also optimized the system and added some new features.

If you update the system, you can't just download the Safari browser, can it be called an update system?
Once such a killer move is made, the macOS version of Netscape browsing will soon be over.

After four or five days, more than 210 million Apple computer users became Safari browser users.

"I was not used to using the Safari browser at the beginning, but the Safari browser is really easier to use than the Netscape browser. The speed of opening web pages is very fast. The design style continues the simple features of Apple. I like it very much. If you will If you use shortcut keys, the operation will be more simple and convenient!"

"Safari browser is worthy of being designed by Chronos Li, it is powerful, [-] times stronger than Netscape browser!"

"Safari browser responds quickly and fits well with Apple's operating system! After all, Netscape browser was developed by Microsoft. Without Apple's system support, it is naturally not as good as Safari browser. Therefore, it is still used on Apple computers. Safari browser is better!"

"Is the Safari browser really that good? I have been using the Netscape browser before, but after being told by you, I want to try the Safari browser too!" A netizen who has never used the Safari browser typed road.

"I'll try it too!"

"+1"

"..."

"+1021"

In the conference room of Microsoft Corporation, shareholders big and small were furious. The Safari browser was so aggressive that it easily snatched away the market share of Netscape browser!

Today's general meeting of shareholders was requested by major shareholders to denounce Li Zetian.

At this time, before the general meeting of shareholders officially started, some large and small shareholders first complained to Bill Gates. Bill Gates is the second largest shareholder of Microsoft Corporation. Everyone hopes to get his self-sufficiency so as to put pressure on Li Zetian .

"Gates, tell me, isn't Chronos Li doing so unkindly!" a shareholder said angrily.

"That's right, he's still a shareholder of Microsoft Corporation, so why is he so favoritism!!" Another shareholder agreed.

Bill Gates curled his lips and compared his heart to heart. Chronos designed the Windows graphical operating system, Excel, Word, PPT, Hotmail, etc. for Microsoft, and even said that one favors the other... As the co-author, he can only design products for Microsoft, not others. Company design products?

"Everyone, please don't get excited!" Bill Gates said in a deep voice, "As the owner of Apple, Chronos Li designs products for Apple. There is nothing wrong with it. Don't be too angry. Anyway, he is also a major shareholder of Microsoft. He and the founder have designed many products for Microsoft, and you probably don’t want to push him completely to Apple.”

As soon as the voice fell, the meeting room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless.

Everyone knows Li Zetian's amazing talent.If he really wants to give up on Microsoft, Microsoft will be in a tragedy. At that time, the stock price will fall wildly, and everyone will not be worth the loss!
"Cough cough..."

An old man in his 60s said, "Bill Gates is right, we can only find a way to win over Chronos Li instead of pretending to him. Everyone here, who can be as powerful as Chronos Li?"

Bill Gates said: "Okay, this is the end of the matter! If the product is not good, we will improve and develop a better product! The Safari browser also occupies the market on the Apple computer, and on the Windows operating system, Netscape browser has monopolized more than 90% of the market share!"

"Having said that, Chronos Li designs products for other companies in three days and two days, which seriously damages the interests of Microsoft. In addition to Apple, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and SAP are also competitors of Microsoft... ..."

boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zetian suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry, I'm late." Li Zetian swept his eyes and said in a calm tone. Under everyone's gaze, he walked to the main seat and sat down.

Everyone was suddenly as quiet as a chilling cicada.

Before Li Zetian came, everyone had the guts to talk about him behind his back.However, when Li Zetian appeared in front of them, everyone was afraid.

"Are you talking about me just now?" Li Zetian said coldly.

Everyone bowed their heads quickly, and no one dared to speak, fearing that Li Zetian would retaliate against him.

Li Zetian let out a sneer of disdain.

"Microsoft's stock price has fallen recently, and everyone is very dissatisfied with me. If someone doesn't want to hold Microsoft shares, I can leave immediately. I am willing to pay a high price for your shares!" Li Zetian glanced around, faintly Said: "30% premium!"

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, all major shareholders were stunned, and many of them swallowed with their throats throbbing.

"Mr. Li, are you sure you want a 30% premium?" A middle-aged man asked.

"Of course sure!!!"

After finishing speaking, Li Zetian stared at him and asked, "Why, you want to sell the shares?!"

The middle-aged man hesitated, his face turned reddish, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "No, I won't sell it..."

The computer penetration rate is getting higher and higher, and the development potential of Microsoft Corporation is huge, and according to the current development trend of Internet technology concept stocks, the market value of Microsoft Corporation will definitely reach an astonishing figure!If you sell it at a 30% premium now, you will definitely regret it in the future.

Li Zetian looked at other people, and no one expressed their desire to sell their shares.

Obviously, everyone is very optimistic about the future development of Microsoft.

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Zetian had no choice but to speak by himself.

"Since the listing of Microsoft, the stock price has risen more than ten times, and the major shareholders have benefited greatly! Greed is not enough! Since I can design products for Microsoft, why do you ask me not to design products for Apple? Microsoft is I created it, and what I do, I naturally know in my heart. If you have any opinions on me, I just want to tell you, you can leave!"

After a pause, Li Zetian said coldly: "Of course, if you want to drive me out of Microsoft, I will be kicked out! OK, no problem, as long as you have the ability! But, do you have it?"

After speaking, Li Zetian looked at Bill Gates, nodded to him, stood up immediately, and left.

The faces of the major shareholders are ugly and gloomy.

Li Zetian scorned them, but they were powerless to fight back.

The two major shareholders of Microsoft are Li Zetian, who holds 45.6% of the shares, and Bill Gates, who holds 12.5% ​​of the shares.And Bill Gates still supports Li Zetian, how do you compare?
Even if Bill Gates is on their side, it is difficult for the combined shares to exceed 45.6% of the shares.

Microsoft is a listed company, and at least 15% of the shares are still in the hands of retail investors.

Li Zetian walked out of Microsoft, got into a silver stretched Rolls-Royce and drove away.

"Hehe, what a joke, a group of small shareholders dare to yell at me! In newspapers or on media TV, they don't even dare to fart in front of me! Hehe, even if all of them So what if you add it up, what can I do!!!" Li Zetian said disdainfully, just now seeing how deflated these people were, he was very happy!
Dongfang Yuqin unscrewed a bottle of soda, handed it to Li Zetian, and said with a smile, "Okay, drink some water, what's wrong with them!"

"I'm going to privatize Microsoft sooner or later, to save these villains from causing trouble!" Li Zetian said after taking a sip of water.

"En." Dongfang Yuqin nodded with a smile.
