Chapter 1398 Destined
"Don't worry?" Schmidt couldn't help but sarcastically said, "We all know the installed capacity of Microsoft systems, right?"
Of course we know this. From now to the future, Microsoft can be said to have always been the overlord of computer systems, and this position is difficult to shake.
"Yes, we all know this fact, but I can say with certainty that your worry will definitely not arise,"
He knew what Schmidt was worried about, but this was the United States, and what had happened in the country would never happen in the United States.
"I am also certain that even if we don't have any reaction, Microsoft's built-in security software in the operating system will treat our browser as a virus and uninstall it, and it will soon stop,"
"I'm also sure that they will soon launch a small program called a patch to end this farce,"
Feng Yiping said this very quickly and with great certainty. However, after he finished speaking, Page and Brin, who were still a little worried, became visibly relaxed, and even Schmidt was stunned.
If you think about it carefully, that's really the case.
It's okay for Microsoft to play some tricks, but the US legal system does not allow it to use such tricks on Google Chrome on such a large scale.
Even if Google doesn't speak up about this kind of unfair competition, the judicial authorities will not pretend not to see it.
This is not the key point. The key point is that in addition to affecting Google, Microsoft's move also affects the users who have uninstalled Google Chrome.
The people of the United States are not as innocent as the people at home. They will allow some unscrupulous businessmen to use them as tools or positions to fight and kill.
With their urinary attitude, once something like this happens, Microsoft will immediately be attacked by a group of people.
True or false, the American people are still relatively sensitive to corporate monopoly and anti-monopoly issues. Especially when monopoly companies endanger their own rights and interests, they will never fail to make their voices heard.
So this matter really just seems serious. It doesn’t matter whether Google responds or not. People will speak out for Google.
"We still need to be prepared. When Microsoft ends this farce, we will also release our own patches to fix their uninstalled browsers," Page said.
By saying this, he completely ignored Schmidt's concerns and fully recognized Feng Yiping's judgment.
"It's a pity that we can't take this good opportunity for public relations," Brin said, somewhat dissatisfied.
Yes, when Microsoft does such rogue behavior, it will definitely not be too many. If it can take the opportunity to publicize, the effect will definitely be leveraged.
But because of the silent period, this time I could only watch such a good opportunity slip away in vain.
"Haha, Microsoft must have calculated this correctly," Feng Yiping said.
Because obviously, in a company like Microsoft, its employees cannot all be freeloaders, and it is impossible not to anticipate the countermeasures that Google may take.
"So it's okay?" said Page.
"Feng's analysis is right. I took this issue a little too seriously," Schmidt said, a little embarrassed.
"But I still have to say," he pushed up his glasses, "at this time, it is indeed unwise for us to insist on launching browsers and e-mails, so that we provoke a powerful enemy like Microsoft,"
"We will definitely be very powerful in the future, but we are still very weak at present, and Microsoft has long been a giant. Such behavior will bring some additional resistance to our growth,"
He would be a bit like Feng Yiping before, and he would also be a bit earnest in persuading the three young men opposite who were not afraid of anything.
As the saying goes, the older you get, the less courageous you are. He was really nervous about facing Microsoft.
"So I suggest that when making similar decisions in the future, this point should still be taken into consideration,"
Page said perfunctorily, "I know, I know," just wanting to end the meeting and have a good chat with Feng Yiping.
He now realized that in the past few days of debate, he had made many concessions to Feng Yiping, and the prospectus was actually written entirely according to Feng Yiping's wishes.
However, Feng Yiping said again, "I think there is absolutely no need for this,"
After hearing what he said, not only Schmidt was stunned, but Page and Bling were also stunned.
"When we decide which products to develop and launch, the key consideration is always the users. Users' needs come first. Developing innovative products based on their needs is the most important. As for other competitors, Reaction, I think, is not too important,"
These words really spoke to the hearts of the two brothers. This is the right thing!
They like this unconventional attitude.
"Von, I understand your theory and I agree with your view on competition," Schmidt said.
The blue ocean theory written by Feng Yiping is actually a subversion of the supremacy of competition that was originally popular in the business world.
"But you have to understand that this is not an ordinary opponent, this is Microsoft," he emphasized.
"I completely understand," Feng Yiping smiled and nodded, "I know this is Microsoft, but first of all, what we should care about most is always our users. Secondly," he turned his seat lightly, "what do you think? , can we and Microsoft avoid similar competition?”
The three were stunned again. Well, they really hadn't thought about this.
Page and others want to change the world, but at least for now, they really don't want to become a rival to Microsoft, which has not invested a lot of resources in search.
Feng Yiping did not wait for their answer. "If launching similar products to meet user needs is competition, then I think this is inevitable. We, Google, are destined to become rivals with Microsoft in the future,"
"Not just Microsoft, but also Apple and many other high-tech companies,"
"Okay," Page suddenly slapped the table and shouted. He held his chin with his hand and walked around the conference room quickly. "Feng is right. If they regard us as rivals because we launched products with higher user satisfaction, then I am happy to be their rival,"
"As long as users are more satisfied and as long as we can make the world a better place, we don't care how many companies we are rivals of. Feng, do you think we should develop office software?"
Well, he just touched the cake of Microsoft's browser, and now he is thinking about digging Microsoft's heart.
You know, operating systems and office software are the two main pillars of Microsoft's current revenue.
This is really a guy who has endless fun fighting against the sky and the earth.
Schmidt was a little stunned. How did things become like this? What problem did I ask at the beginning?
Brin asked a more practical question, "Feng, do you think Microsoft will also do search in the future?"
"I think the future trend is that the businesses of various companies will be integrated in the future. All high-tech companies will be involved in some key areas, and search is the focus of these focuses. So, yes, Microsoft will definitely do search in the future. They are not without such measures now, right?"
Schmidt over there finally sorted out his thoughts and figured out what the issue was supposed to be discussed today, "But why can't we wait until we become stronger and stronger before launching these products that are likely to lead to strong competitors?"
"At least our current advantage in the search field cannot be shaken by anyone, which is also a favorable performance of our strength," Feng Yiping still smiled.
"As for the timing, I think there may never be the most suitable timing,"
"Of course, compared to the heights we can reach in the future, we are just a small boat now, but from the perspective of competitors, Schmidt, do you think they care more if it is a small boat challenging them, or if it is an aircraft carrier challenging them, they will be shocked?"
…………
On the way to the restaurant, Schmidt was still thinking, he still didn't understand why today's meeting turned to this point.
Looking at Feng Yiping who seemed to be fine and was calling home, Page suddenly said to Brin, "Why do I suddenly feel that Feng seems to be more suitable to be the chairman?"
