"Yang, you have to give us Microsoft an explanation for this matter. Why did you Yahu attack our Microsoft? What was our agreement before?" Ballmer asked angrily on the phone.
"Ballmer, we did not attack Microsoft, it was all a misunderstanding." Yang Zhiyuan, CEO of Yahu, explained.
"Okay, then let me ask you, are all those news reports wrong? All reporters have the same misunderstanding as me, right?"
"Ballmer, you can watch the news video of that day, and you should even know what happened that day through your people. The person who made those inappropriate remarks was Masao Kameda, who is the president of Fengyu Holdings Group. This You don't know what it means, right?" Yang Zhiyuan reminded.
"Hmph, but he is also the new director of SoftBank. If he praises Guge's browser, then I still believe you if you say he does it for Fengyu Holdings, but what he praises is your Yahu browser. There is no reason for him to Are you promoting your Yahu for no reason?" Ballmer said angrily.
"This is their conspiracy. Can't you see such a simple conspiracy? He wants to provoke the anger of our two companies so that Guge's browser can develop rapidly." Yang Zhiyuan defended.
"Conspiracy? Who would use such a clumsy conspiracy? If you say that he is provoking trouble, then he will be kicked off the board of directors, and I will believe you."
"Ballmer, first of all, I cannot give you an answer on behalf of Soft Bank. I am not Sun Zhengyi. Secondly, even if you find Sun Zhengyi, he will not expel Kameda Masao from the board of directors. This will have a great impact on Soft Bank's listed companies." Big impact.”
Masao Kameda had just joined SoftBank's board of directors and was expelled. This would definitely have a serious impact on the stock prices of listed companies under SoftBank, which meant that Softbank's shareholders would all lose money. Of course, Softbank would not agree to this.
What's more, Yang Zhiyuan knows that Kameda Masao's role is not only to increase the stock price, but also to use Kameda Masao's connections in China, or to use Fengyu Holdings's connections in China, to make the companies under Soft Bank and Soft Bank shareholders It is easier for our companies to enter the Chinese market.
Until these are completed, Kameda Masao’s status will not change. Moreover, Soft Bank also wants to invest in IT-related industries under Fengyu Holdings through Kameda Masao to make profits.
"Yang, let me change my condition. You Yahu came forward and said that Kameda Masao's remarks were all wrong."
Yang Zhiyuan refused again.
Are you kidding? Everything you say about Masao Kameda is wrong. Doesn’t that mean that Yahoo’s browser is not as good as Microsoft’s IE? No matter what happens, Yang Zhiyuan, the CEO of Yahu, will not slap himself in the face.
Ballmer hung up the phone, furious.
There are too many news on the Internet about Kameda Masao's words, and unfortunately it was a press conference of Qiandu Company at that time, and there were IT-related media all over the world.
And at that time, Microsoft engineers did not make a strong rebuttal. There was a saying on the Internet that Microsoft engineers acquiesced to Kameda Masao's statement, and IE was indeed not as easy to use as Yahu's browser.
As a result, the usage rate of IE browser has dropped rapidly recently, but the download volume of Yahoo browser has surged.
The browser itself is a free software, but it can make money through other aspects, such as advertising. And you can also get relevant statistics, which can also be used to make profits.
Therefore, many companies develop their own browsers, which at last can promote the company's brand and technical strength.
Yahu also made a browser before, but it was indeed a browser based on the IE kernel. But now Yahoo has ditched Microsoft and made a browser with its own core technology, which itself has made Microsoft dissatisfied.
This is equivalent to Yahoo jumping out of Microsoft's browser industry standards and formulating its own industry standards, so the two parties will naturally become competitors.
Originally, the cooperation between Microsoft and Yahu was quite pleasant, especially in the Chinese market, where there are many areas for cooperation. The most powerful thing about Yahoo is that foreign companies basically cooperate with Yahoo. After all, Yahoo is the world's number one portal.
Including advertising, website links, information exchange, technical exchange, etc., Yahu is one of the best platforms.
Originally, Microsoft and Yahu had discussed jointly developing Chinese versions of various application software in China to seize Lianxiang Yinshan's market. The two parties had even begun to contact each other regarding the development of smartphone systems.
Anyway, Microsoft is the main player, and Yahu can be a supplement. If everyone cooperates to develop the system, Microsoft will still make the lion's share, and it will still use the Microsoft brand name.
But now, all this is impossible.
These conditions imposed by Ballmer were determined by Microsoft's board of directors. Since Yahu refused, it means that Yahu and Microsoft are no longer of the same mind.
In addition, Yahu has the help of Soft Bank, and there are too many IT-related companies under Soft Bank. Who knows when a good idea will come up and a big profit will be made. Moreover, Softbank's technical strength in IT-related industries is among the best in the world, which Microsoft has to be on guard against.
Could it be that SoftBank wants to support Yahu and seize Microsoft's market in terms of browsers
If the browser gives in, who knows if the software will go further in the next step? Some companies in the soft industry also make operating systems, and they may not have plans to surpass Microsoft.
There are also players and other related software products that SoftBank is involved in. In other words, SoftBank may have the largest variety of IT products in the world.
If by accident, SoftBank cannibalizes the market that originally belonged to Microsoft, just when Microsoft is fighting Feng Yu, wouldn't that allow Softbank to take advantage
Microsoft suddenly suspended negotiations with Yahoo on cooperation in smartphone operating systems, and all cooperation in other areas was also suspended.
Just when Softbank asked Yahu what was going on, all cooperation between Microsoft and many IT-related companies in which Softbank had a stake was suspended.
Microsoft has taken sanctions against SoftBank.
Microsoft's confidence comes from the fact that they are the world's number one software brand. Any software company that cooperates with Microsoft will gain great attention. If it is a listed company, its stock price will rise because the profitability of Microsoft products is obvious to all.
Therefore, Microsoft dares to use this method to impose sanctions. There are too many companies that want to cooperate with Microsoft. Although companies in the soft industry are good, they do not represent the whole.
Those small companies will inevitably suffer heavy losses if they break away from Microsoft's embrace, but Microsoft will not lose too much. With the overlord terms they have formulated, most of the technical information is in the hands of Microsoft.
Microsoft's move has screwed up the software industry.
At this time, Sun Zhengyi could not sit still.
