Chapter 1367 Hidden Danger

The reason why Yin Jun chose to open the World Wide Web for free is definitely not because he has such broad sentiments. Like Tim, he wants to contribute to all mankind.

Even if he wants to do good deeds, Yin Jun will only do them for the Chinese people.

Those people in Europe and the United States, including Japan, owe China too much.

Earning their money to help his country escape poverty and rise again like the prosperous days of the Han and Tang Dynasties is Yin Jun's biggest dream.

But Yin Jun couldn't do that.

At least when it comes to the World Wide Web, Yin Jun can't.

It's not that Yin Jun couldn't do well without Tim.

In fact, Yin Jun can apply for a theoretical patent and then hire experts to do it himself.

The electronics experts at MIT and Harvard, as long as they are given enough money and honor, will be happy to link and share the hypertext protocol.

That's the World Wide Web.

What Yin Jun thinks about most is making the computer industry bigger.

There is an obvious difference between whether it is better to make money in a pool with a capacity of 100 billion US dollars or in a pool with a capacity of tens of trillions of US dollars.

Any idiot knows how to choose.

And after expanding the market, Yin Jun did not lose the opportunity.

He comes from 40 years later!

Which company can develop well, which company has any twists and turns along the way, and in what direction the electronics industry should develop in the future after PC computers... These future trajectories are all in Yin Jun's mind, and he has never forgotten them.

Therefore, by making the pool as big as the previous life, or even bigger, Yin Jun will not suffer losses, but will make more in it.

Since he can earn more, Yin Jun will not look down upon the current profits of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.

Let’s give a more specific example.

As long as he gets hold of these four companies, Apple, Google, Apple, and Amazon, he can earn at least a trillion dollars. How cool would that be?

For the sake of better interests and prospects in the future, Yin Jun is willing to give up.

He is also willing to give up.

Bill Gates didn't know, and he couldn't bear it.

Unfortunately, the patents for the World Wide Web are all in the hands of Yin Jun, so he can only act in a hurry and has no solution.

"Bill, what we need to consider now is to make the entire cake bigger, not the current interests." Yin Jun was unwilling to say more to him, "At least Microsoft is the first to know, so we can definitely Start developing your own browser and build a perfect ecosystem."

"Ecosystem? Isn't this Apple's way?" Bill Gates asked, "We are a free software platform, why do we need this?"

"In this world, our WIN2.0 operating system is not the only one. If we don't work hard to make everyone get used to our system and can't live without our system, why should we become the number one in the world?" Yin Jun said, "Other people are developing software, and we at Microsoft need to develop it too! If the graphics page is full of programs developed by others, do you have any face?"

"Yes, that's true." Bill Gates nodded, "I originally thought that the operating system should be the first element. It seems that those auxiliary things are also indispensable! For example, the one you mentioned based on the World Wide Web The browser, if done well, is an excellent sticky tool that can get many users to adopt our Windows system."

Yin Jun also nodded and said, "With the World Wide Web patent, I believe it will be made soon. When the time comes, it can be used as a focus of promotion."

"I see."

Bill Gates seemed a little excited.

In his mind, he probably thought about how many orders he would win.

Speaking of which, the price of Microsoft's WINDOWS system is actually just a Windows operating system.

Many other Microsoft products require fees.

For example, the famous "WORD", which is a document, must be purchased separately before you can use it.

Only the IE browser, which has the highest usage rate, is free of charge from Microsoft.

The reason is that Tim requires that his patents cannot be used to make money, and the World Wide Web itself absolutely does not allow charging.

Linus' future LINUX system will be free of charge, which is based on the practice of his idol.

Therefore, the Android system must not be charged.

But smart companies will not be frustrated by this.

There is no charge for Microsoft's IE, but it can only be installed when bundled with Microsoft's WINDOWS.

IE promoted the development of WINDOWS, and WINDOWS in turn made everyone accustomed to using IE, which quickly defeated Netscape, which simply relied on a browser to live.

You know, when Netscape's market value was at its highest, it exceeded 17 billion U.S. dollars!

It still only has a browser.

Microsoft's market value can be so high, and IE's contribution is also not small. Although it is free, its value is reflected in the market value of the entire Microsoft company.

IE in the previous life did not come out so early. It was only developed in the mid-1990s.

At that time, Netscape was at its peak, occupying 90% of the market share.

But the problem is that Netscape browser does not have its own ecological chain support, so Microsoft added IE browser to its own WINDOWS.

Since then, the IE browser installed by default has become the first choice for all WINDOWS system users.

Netscape declined rapidly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. In the end, it completely withdrew from the market in less than ten years.

The same goes for Google's Android system.

Android is not the only mobile phone system developed based on LINUX, but in the end Android defeated almost all its opponents and became the well-deserved king in the field of mobile phone systems.

Except for Apple's IOS system, which still accounts for about 20% of the market share, the rest are users of the Android system.

The reason lies in Google's strong product marketing capabilities and strong research and development capabilities.

At the beginning, the Android system was still not used by many companies.

But they kept researching and developing and upgrading, so more and more companies used it, and finally created a miracle.

By the time Android reaches the 8th generation, many of its functions and efficiencies are actually about the same as those of Apple's iOS. After a few more generations, they may completely surpass Apple.

Just like the original WINDOWS system defeated the Apple system.

If Apple doesn't make more changes and improvements, their prospects are really not good.

Open and closed, two product models and concepts, starting from 2020, we can see the difference again in a few years at most.

According to Yin Jun's age, he can still see this day.

Withdrawn his thoughts.

The young man said to Bill Gates calmly, "Bill, have you ever considered this question? What kind of relationship will we have with IBM in the future?"

"What kind of relationship?" Bill Gates said in surprise, "What a good cooperative relationship! They have hardware and we have software. They are complementary and mutually beneficial. It is very strong!"

"But, will our window system only be used on IBM?"

"Of course it's impossible! All computers can be used!"

"IBM wants to control other computer companies through us. For example, we must develop which software they need. If they don't need the software but competing companies want it, they will prevent us from developing it... Can you agree to such a request? ?"

"Of course not!"

Bill Gates vetoed it twice, and then he understood what Yin Jun meant.

According to this development trajectory, it will be a matter of time before Microsoft and IBM fall out!

This is also the case in history. After IBM discovered that Microsoft had the idea of ​​​​setting up its own business, it used the above requirements.

But Bill Gates withstood the strong pressure and refused directly.

Also rejected were famous computer giants such as HP and Compaq.

They were originally planning to join forces to block Bill Gates, but Bill Gates is a man of great luck.

At this time, Microsoft encountered Dell Computer Company, which was developing rapidly.

Dell computers are relatively unfamiliar to many Chinese people, but if you talk about a domestic computer company that is exactly like them, you will understand it immediately.

This domestic company is called Lenovo.

Dell and Lenovo are almost identical companies.

To put it simply, their main business is to buy various hardware on the market, assemble them into computers themselves, and then put their own brand on them and sell them.

All the components, including the operating system, are not their own. They are no different from the vendors who assembled machines in the computer city more than ten years ago, except that they do it on the largest scale.

Dell does not have any hardware interests, so not only do they have no conflict with Microsoft, but because Microsoft has to provide them with WINDOWS systems before they can sell them to individual users, they have become their closest partners.

Dell's speed and efficiency in selling computers are much better than those of giants such as IBM and Apple.

Not only did they grow at an alarming rate in the United States, but they also quickly expanded their business to Europe.

It was with the help of Dell that Microsoft quickly overcame the difficulties and established its unique dominance in the operating system industry.

Then, Japanese brands such as Sony, NEC, Sharp, and Korean Samsung began to use Microsoft's WINDOWS system, further expanding Microsoft's empire.

Of course, this was the previous life.

In the previous life, Microsoft was purely a passive choice.

Bill Gates never thought at first that he could break away from IBM and achieve great things.

What he wants to do is rely on the big tree of IBM to make good money.

It was the ruthlessness and coercion from IBM and other companies that forced him to find a way out everywhere, and finally found a way out.

This life is different.

Yin Jun reminded Bill Gates before the conflict started, asking him to prepare and plan in advance.

Taking the initiative to choose has much more leeway than taking the initiative passively!
