Chapter 25

After the share exchange with Dell, Michael Dell said he was ready to go public.

Henry agrees very much. After Dell goes public, it will develop faster and help Henry more. In order to help Dell, Henry's company will publicize Dell, and the specific work will be discussed by Michael Dell and Geely Hutt. Henri then went to Netscape and asked them to develop a feature that Henry liked very much - Multi tab web browsing!

Netscape browser can use multiple tabs to open multiple websites without searching from the taskbar. It is very convenient to use!

Henry's proposal was unanimously agreed by Netscape, which soon called on people to develop it.

"When AOL and apple release al browser, you will add this new function!" Henry ordered.

"All right! At that time just hit al browser by surprise! This function is really wonderful Jonathan Jackson, CEO of Netscape, laughs.

At that time, Netscape will add collection function, multi tab website browsing function, and web page fast loading technology (the speed of opening the browser will be changed from 3 seconds to 1 second)! Netscape browser hit hard three times, Al browser will not be easy!

"While developing technology and new functions, don't forget to register a patent. Even if al browser is released, we will pit it in the patent!"

"Chairman, we understand. Don't worry!" Jonathan Jackson nodded!

"Well." Henry nodded. He attached the most importance to patents. The whole company knows that patent registration is absolutely necessary if any new technology or function appears!

……

On March 15, 1988, AOL and Apple launched al browser. Al browser is completely copying Netscape browser, but the interface is slightly changed.

Without saying a word, Henry let Netscape take AOL and apple to court.

Steve case is an expert at cheating, throwing a thick pile of technical documents and related materials to refute and prove that he did not copy. Courts and Netscape spend a lot of time just studying these materials! But, this lawsuit is obvious, Netscape company wins! Netscape company is not simple. It has sent ten technicians and five lawyers, determined to win the lawsuit in the shortest time!

At the same time, Netscape browser has been updated online. Not only the reaction speed is much faster, but also the collection and multi tab page is deeply loved by netizens!

Al browser suddenly fell a big somersault, although there are AOL and apple two companies to promote together, but users do not like to use, decisively removed!

Apple computer because installed al browser, but no Netscape browser, sales plummeted!

Now more and more people begin to access the Internet, you do not have a good browser, who will buy your computer?

Apple has a double whammy!

Learn widely from others' strong points. Microsoft Corp launched their latest system, windows2.3, in a few days. The system uses a lot of Apple system interface. Microsoft takes the best and gets the best. After the launch, it is popular, and it is extremely squeezing the apple computer's living space. Apple's performance is declining step by step, the stock price is falling again and again!!!

When Scully and apple saw that Microsoft's new system Windows 2.3 was coming fiercely, they immediately regretted that they had agreed to use part of their system interface patents! Scully and apple have the audacity to take Microsoft to court despite the contract they signed with Microsoft, claiming that Microsoft infringed Apple's patent!

But this lawsuit is a steady loss, Microsoft has a contract in hand, not afraid of you, apple how to sue! The reason why Apple wants to sue Microsoft is to carry out some public relations work and publicize to the outside world that Apple's operating system is the best. Microsoft Windows 2.3 is an infringement and piracy. Don't use it! But apple is only in vain to do this, and still can not change the status quo of apple!

When AOL launched al browser, their newly developed e-mail was also embedded in Al browser. The fate of the email, like al browser, is rarely used. Moreover, there is no doubt that AOL has not taken the time to bypass the patent of global online e-mail when it launched graphical interface e-mail so quickly!

Henry was very impolite to let global online tell AOL!

Since its inception, global online has almost pushed AOL to the ground! The names of the two companies are so similar, so tit for tat, to see them fighting, the newspaper media is most loved.

As soon as global online sued AOL, newspapers and media began to publicize it!

"Global online sued AOL for infringement of graphical interface e-mail patent!"

"Amen, the world is abusing the United States again!"

"AOL is a disgrace to the United States, a robber and a thief. It will only infringe the patents of other companies!"

AOL even ate two lawsuits, a time, infamous!

If the Al browser works well, it's OK. But compared with Netscape browser, Al browser is just like a sky and a ground. In this way, AOL is so good that it even plagiarizes and infringes. Can't you copy a little bit?

Apple has been ruined by AOL. Every day, many apple computer users complain and refuse to use AOL's al browser and email! A large number of Apple users even ask for returns. This return is the biggest return frenzy Apple has encountered since its establishment. On average, hundreds of people come to apple every day to ask for return!

Some radicals are very disappointed with apple and smash the apple computer in front of the company!!!

Apple has a lot to say, but because Apple has signed an agreement with AOL, 20% of the shares are not taken in vain. Apple computer must install al browser, and also help it promote!

Apple is crying to death for stealing chicken. Apple's share price has dropped from $55 to $35!

"Since users need Netscape, we can't default," one apple employee advised Scully. Then simply install both browsers! Our contract with AOL only states that we want to help AOL promote its browser, but it doesn't say that we can't install browsers of other companies... "

Scully's eyes brightened and he thought about it. It's not a way!

"All right, that's it!" Scully made up his mind, Dao!

In order to appease Apple's computer users, apple can come up with this method, which is wonderful enough!

Scully then informed Steve Case of Apple's decision.

Steve case was furious when he heard that! But he soon calmed down because he knew that it would be useless to be angry. Steve Case stayed in his office thinking for a night. The next day, he held a meeting to announce Apple's decision, then talk about the company's current situation, and finally ask for solutions.

People are very angry that apple is stepping on two boats. Some company executives even propose to sue apple for breach of contract!

However, it was denied by Steve case.

AOL can only compete with Nicholas group by holding apple's thigh. Steve case is a smart man, and he is very tolerant. He can't do anything to destroy the wall himself.

As for the solution, many people talked a lot, but none of them was good.

Steve Case sat in his chair, listening to everyone's opinions in silence, with no expression on his face. When the crowd finished, he said: "AOL's online service is fundamental. This time, we are really anxious. We launched the browser very hastily, which led to a fiasco! However, as long as we stick to it, I believe that one day, Al browser will win

Steve case still didn't mean to give up the browser. He paused and explained his idea to the public: "although we failed this time, I ended an experience. That is, our browser needs technology accumulation and innovation, we can do what Netscape browser can do, we can do what Netscape browser can't do! No one has me, no one has me! I hope that the next version of Al browser can surpass Netscape browser! "

make love!!!

They were all inspired by Steve Case's words, and their confidence increased greatly. They couldn't help clapping their hands one after another.

"But before our browser wins, we have a tough choice for AOL. Do you want to continue to compete with global online, or do you want to transform? " Steve Case said in a low voice.

When Steve Case finished, the atmosphere in the office was heavy! No one spoke.

Steve Case glanced at the crowd from left to right, but said confidently: "global online has done a good job in email, entertainment information and news and current affairs. If we AOL can compete with it, it will be very difficult. But I think we still have a chance to catch up with and surpass global online Steve paused, then said, "the main purpose of users using the Internet is for business communication. Maybe you don't find that global online has done very little in finance and economics. Therefore, this is a breakthrough point. This is an opportunity, an opportunity for AOL to rise again!"

Steve said at the end, his voice was loud and full of fighting spirit!

"That's right!"

"We AOL will rise again!"

Everyone present was excited. Obviously, Steve case showed them a way!

……

AOL's sudden acquisition of a New York financial newspaper at the time of internal and external troubles made people a little confused. Is AOL crazy? Are you stupid in a lawsuit? To buy a financial newspaper?

Henry was also confused by AOL's move and didn't understand what it was going to do?

But it wasn't long before Henry knew why.

On April 1, AOL held a news conference and announced: "AOL, together with Sequoia Capital, will build the most authoritative and in-depth online information service website -- American finance and Economics website!!"

Soon after that, AOL's business began to grow dramatically!

When Henry saw this, he was not surprised: is AOL really a jack up（ Please help to vote...)
