After this stage was busy with the TripAdvisor travel website, Apple immediately held a product launch and announced the Safari browser.
Safari browser caused a sensation and a heated discussion for a while.
Without him, the designer of the Safari browser is Li Zetian.
As we all know, the designer of Netscape Browsing is also Li Zetian.
So, people can't help comparing Safari and Netscape browsers!
The media has always been watching the fun without taking it too seriously, and they like to add fuel to the news and get some breaking news.
"Microsoft and Apple, who is Chronos Li's true love? ! 》
"Chronos · Li personally designed the Safari browser, the purpose is to beat the "eldest 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 true. Why did he help Apple design the Safari browser? Isn't he a major shareholder of Microsoft?"
"Damn it! Microsoft's stock plummeted immediately after Apple released Safari!"
"Alas, Chronos Li should be treated the same, how can they be treated differently?"
"Yeah, Chronos Li designed the Safari browser for Apple, while the Netscape browser was bought by Microsoft. It's unfair to think about it!"
"… "
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 Zetian watched the news and was speechless.
"What's the matter, brother, didn't you just design the Safari browser for Apple, and you screamed and killed each one of you when you were paralyzed. When I was designing for Microsoft, I didn't see anyone from Apple treating me like this. It's a listed company, it's very different from a private company!" Li Zetian said angrily.
Not long after, Bill Gates called.
"Chronos, I'm very sorry, those Wall Street capitalists, you know, you make money for them, and they treat you as a god of wealth. If you lose money, everyone will become a wolves. As for the company's employees, I'll explain it to you."
"Yeah." Li Zetian replied.
Bill Gates can see it openly. Li Zetian is both the boss of Apple and the major shareholder of Microsoft. There is no problem with both helping.
And in Bill Gates' view, Li Zetian is more important than Microsoft. It is a great luck that Li Zetian can bring him into the establishment of TripAdvisor this time! A senior review agency on Wall Street has estimated the TripAdvisor travel website. Just over a week after the website was officially launched, the market value of TripAdvisor has exceeded 6 billion US dollars, which shocked Bill Gates. As a result, Bill Gates is more determined to befriend Li Zetian and maintain the friendship that began in college!
After Li Zetian and Bill Gates hung up the phone, their minds began to move.
Listed companies are very troublesome. If they do things that are harmful to the interests of shareholders, they will make trouble and curse people, which makes Li Zetian very uncomfortable.
"Microsoft's current market value is 155 billion US dollars, which is far from the subversion of nearly 600 billion US dollars in the previous life! When the market value is close to 500 billion US dollars, it will start to cash out! At present, the market value of Internet technology companies is generally inflated. TripAdvisor website has been officially launched for more than a week, which is 6 billion US dollars, which is too exaggerated! Therefore, the Internet bubble burst in 2000 in the previous life will probably repeat the same mistakes in this life!!”
Speaking of this, Li Zetian couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, "After the burst of the Internet bubble, the Internet winter has ushered in, and Microsoft's market value of more than 600 billion US dollars has dropped to less than 200 billion US dollars in vain! At this time, I will take another shot to reclaim Microsoft's shares, and finally Take it private and get out of the Nasdaq!!"
Immediately, Li Zetian was in a much better mood. He called Jobs and asked, "Jobs, how many users of the Safari browser are there?"
With joy in his tone, Jobs replied, "More than 300,000 users were added on the first day!"
"Haha, it seems that there are many Apple fans!" Li Zetian laughed.
"Mr. Li, the Safari browser you designed is very good, it is very popular, and netizens who have used it have praised it!"
Li Zetian smiled softly, joking, who is my brother? I'm hanging on. The Safari browser was designed and developed with reference to the Apple computer browser in the previous life. It definitely crushes this era!
"Jobs, in the high-end market, Apple computers have the most users. These people are relatively rich, and most of them should have opened up Internet services! Like you, let Apple's operating system pop up a system update software, and after the user clicks 'system update' , and download the Safari browser now!"
Hearing this, Jobs couldn't help applauding: "Mr. Li, your idea is fantastic, so that Safari browser can quickly beat the macOS version of Netscape browsing! From now on, Safari browser and Netscape browsing is distinct, and each uses its own operating system. Apple will not be subject to Microsoft because of the browser!"
Li Zetian smiled and nodded, 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 compliment the brilliant electron.
Actually, this kind of idea was very common in the previous life, 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 know, I'll do it right away, this thing will be done soon!"
After speaking, Wozniak turned and left.
That night, 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
With such a killer move, the macOS version of Netscape browsing will soon be over.
In four or five days, more than 2.1 million Apple computer users became users of the Safari browser.
"I was not used to using the Safari browser at first, but the Safari browser is really easier to use than the Netscape browser. The speed of opening web pages is very fast, and the design style continues the simplicity of Apple. I like it very much. If you use the shortcut keys, the operation is easier and more convenient!”
"The Safari browser is worthy of being designed by Chronos Li. It is amazing, 10,000 times stronger than the Netscape browser!"
"The Safari browser responds very quickly and is very compatible with Apple's operating system! Netscape browser was developed by Microsoft after all, and without Apple's system support, it is naturally inferior to the Safari browser. Therefore, it is still used on Apple computers. Safari is better!"
"Is the Safari browser really that good? I have been using the Netscape browser before, but after you said this, I also want to try the Safari browser!" 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.
Today's general meeting of shareholders was held at the request of major shareholders, and the purpose was to denounce Li Zetian.
At this time, before the general meeting of shareholders officially started, some shareholders, big and small, complained to Bill Gates first. Bill Gates is the second largest shareholder of Microsoft, and everyone hoped to get his self-sustaining in order to put pressure on Li Zetian. .
"Gates, tell me, isn't it too unkind for Chronos Li to do this!" a shareholder said angrily.
"That's right, he's still a shareholder of Microsoft, how can he favor one over another!!" Another shareholder said in agreement.
Bill Gates pouted and compared his heart. Chronos designed Windows graphics operating system, Excel, Word, PPT, Hotmail, etc. for Microsoft. Design a product
"Everyone, please don't get excited!" Bill Gates said solemnly, "Chronos Li, as the boss of Apple, designs products for Apple, there is nothing wrong with it, and you don't have to be too angry. After all, he is also a major shareholder of Microsoft. And the founder, who designed a lot of products for Microsoft, presumably you don't want to push him completely to Apple."
As soon as the voice fell, the conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other, speechless.
Everyone knows Li Zetian's amazing talent. If he really wants to give up Microsoft, it will be a tragedy for Microsoft. By then, the stock price will fall wildly, and everyone will lose more than the gains!
"cough cough..."
An old man in his sixties said, "Bill Gates is right, we can only find a way to win over Chronos Li, not to pretend to him. Everyone here, who can be as good as Chronos Li?"
Bill Gates said: "Okay, that's it! If the product doesn't work, we improve it and develop a better product! The Safari browser also has a market on Apple computers, and on Windows operating systems, Netscape browser monopolizes more than 90% of the market share!"
"Having said that, Chronos Li has been designing products for other companies every three days, which has seriously damaged the interests of Microsoft. In addition to Apple, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, SAP, are also competitors of Microsoft... "
boom!
Just as he finished speaking, Li Zetian suddenly pushed in from the outside.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry, I'm late." Li Zetian swept his eyes and said in a light tone. Under everyone's attention, he walked to the main seat and sat down.
The crowd fell silent for a while.
Before Li Zetian came, everyone had the courage 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 asked coldly.
Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak, fearing that Li Zetian would retaliate against him.
Li Zetian let out a sneer of disdain.
"Recently, Microsoft's share price has fallen, and you are very dissatisfied with me. If someone doesn't want to hold Microsoft's shares, I can leave immediately. I am willing to pay a high price to buy your shares!" Li Zetian swept his eyes around, faintly Dao: "30% premium!"
As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, all the major shareholders were stunned, and many people swallowed their saliva.
"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, do you want to sell the shares?!"
The middle-aged man hesitated, his face turned slightly red, after a while, he shook his head and said, "No, not for sale..."
The computer penetration rate is getting higher and higher, the development potential of Microsoft is huge, and according to the current development trend of Internet technology concept stocks, the market value of Microsoft will definitely reach an amazing number! If you sell it at a 30% premium now, you will definitely regret it in the future.
Li Zetian looked at the others, and no one expressed that he wanted to sell the shares.
Obviously, everyone is very optimistic about the future development of Microsoft.
Li Zetian saw that no one spoke, so he had to speak.
"Since Microsoft's listing, its stock price has risen more than ten times, and major shareholders have benefited enormously! The greed is not enough! Since I can design products for Microsoft, why do you ask me not to design products for Apple? Microsoft is the I created it, I know what I do myself. 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 kick me out of Microsoft, sweep me out! OK, no problem, as long as you have the ability! But, do you have it?"
After finishing speaking, Li Zetian looked at Bill Gates, nodded to him, stood up immediately, and left.
The faces of the major shareholders were ugly and gloomy.
Li Zetian scorned them, but they couldn't fight back at all.
Microsoft's two major shareholders, one is Li Zetian, holding 45.6% of the shares, and the other is Bill Gates, holding 12.5% of the shares. And Bill Gates still supports Li Zetian, how do you compare
Even, 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 public company with at least 15% of its shares still in the hands of retail investors.
Li Zetian walked out of Microsoft, got on a silver extended Rolls-Royce car, and walked away.
"Hehe, what a joke, a group of small shareholders dare to yell at me! They are chattering and screeching on newspapers or media TV, but they don't even dare to put a fart in front of me! Hehe, even if they all What does it add up to, what can I do!!!" Li Zetian said disdainfully, just seeing these shriveled appearances, his heart burst into relief!
Dongfang Yuqin twisted open a bottle of soda, then handed it to Li Zetian, and said with a smile: "Okay, drink some water, what's the anger with them!"
"I will privatize Microsoft sooner or later to save these villains!" Li Zetian said after taking a sip of water.
"Yeah." Dongfang Yuqin smiled and nodded.
