Chapter 171 Surrender to Microsoft?
Fang Xingdong, the most famous identity, is the "Father of Blog", who coined the word "Blog" and created the first blog website - Blog Huaxia.

Of course, not yet.

The blog in 02 was also called "Blogger". It was just introduced to Huaxia, and the number was less than 1.

At this time, he was only a well-known columnist, and he also wrote articles for IT media such as "Computer World", "Personal Computer", "Computer News", "Information Industry News".

By the way, a book was published called "Get Up!"Challenge Microsoft's hegemony", spraying a wave of Microsoft's attack on China's software industry.

Just got a batch!
These days, Microsoft's entry into China, and rumors of MSN penguins fighting, naturally reached his ears. How could he just be a spectator and do nothing.

If the penguin surrenders, scold the mother.

If the penguin resists, yell!

Originally waiting for changes in the battle situation, Penguin unexpectedly contacted Wang Junxiu, the editor-in-chief of "Information Industry News", and said that Lu Fei had an appointment.

The name Lu Fei is now widely heard in the IT circle.

After being summoned by him, Fang Xingdong left everything behind and rushed over excitedly. After saying hello, he skipped the greetings and just said:
"Mr. Lu, I heard that Penguin is about to be acquired by MSN. Is this true?"

Lu Fei laughed out loud, "Outrageous, with the size of a penguin, it's only right that we acquire MSN."

Fang Xingdong walked into the office, sat down and said, "People who spread the word think that MSN will defeat QQ sooner or later, seize the QQ market and even annex QQ."

Lu Fei crossed his legs and said in a relaxed tone, "Mr. Fang thinks that QQ will lose, will Penguin lose?"

"Hard to say!"

Fang Xingdong put on a serious face and said worriedly: "Although I am on your side, Mr. Lu, and hope that QQ will win over MSN, but the lesson from Netscape is not far away.

Microsoft dominates 90% of the world's computer interfaces, computer systems, office software, IE browsers, and acquired Hotmail mailboxes and Skype Internet phones, forming a huge platform. Microsoft defeated Netscape through its bundling strategy. "

"China has its own national conditions. Microsoft is mostly pirated in China, and the advantages of platform bundling cannot be fully utilized."

Lu Fei analyzed what he said to Lu Huateng and other Penguin executives before the war, and picked out what he could say publicly, such as the upcoming QQ game hall, but kept it hidden. In short, he expressed his determination with impassioned words:
Penguin will never give in to Microsoft, and QQ will never lose to MSN!

Fang Xingdong was infected and gave a thumbs up excitedly, "President Lu is doing a great job, someone in the Huaxia IT circle needs to say 'NO, go to nmd' to Microsoft!"

"Yes, qnmd."

Lu Fei knocked on the table with his hand, and said that his purpose was to ask him to write an article "A Call to Thieves" like Chen Lin, and to criticize Microsoft.

"What content?" Fang Xingdong couldn't help being surprised. "Do you want to add Penguin and QQ?"

"It's too early to add."

Lu Fei got up and copied "Get Up!" from his desk.Challenging Microsoft's hegemony". "I have read the book you co-authored with Editor-in-Chief Wang. It was wonderfully written, and the timing was well grasped. It was in line with the confrontational mood at the time. I think I can write another one like this. The title is "Surrender to Microsoft." ?》."

"Surrender to Microsoft? I understand, Lu always wants to talk about the irony!"

Fang Xingdong's eyes lit up, but he hesitated and said: "I'd be happy to be a pawn, but I'm afraid that if I publish it on the portal, what should I do if the website is all taken down?"

"Mr. Fang only needs to take care of writing and posting, and he doesn't have to worry about other things."

Lu Fei smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I also recommend that you upload a copy to your blog."

"Blog?"

"It's Blogger."

"Blogger, I'm also paying attention to this." Fang Xingdong mumbled "blog" several times, "Blogger, Mr. Lu is a good name for this name!"

"We are also researching and developing a Chinese website with a blogging function."

Lu Fei's tone was flat, and he secretly snatched the name right of "blog", one step away from the title of "Father of Huaxia Blog".

…………

On the night when he came back from Hailong Building, Fang Xingdong sat in front of the computer for a long time, venting the passion ignited by Lu Fei on the article.

Crackling, knocking wildly on wps.

Going back and forth, deleting, deleting, modifying, typing for an hour, thousands of words to discuss Microsoft's code, but it feels so-so and unsatisfactory.

Fang Xingdong dragged the file to the QQ chat box and sent it to Wang Junxiu for review and modification.

Only this one function, MSN will not work!
He is full of confidence, MSN wants to shake the basic market of QQ, it is not an easy task, so he switched to the forum to hang out, and saw a top post on Tianya, the title caught people's attention——

"Letter from Bill Gates to Lu Huateng".

It wrote in an arrogant tone, "Thanks to QQ for popularizing the concept of instant messaging to Chinese children. When they grow up, work, and have money, they will slowly transfer to MSN and switch seamlessly."

"cnm!"

Fang Xingdong could tell it was fake, but he was still angry. The most annoying thing was that some netizens pretended to be Bill Gates as a joke, praising Microsoft and stepping on penguins, why is it so cheap.

Isn't this just surrender?
Sudden stimulation, inspiration burst out in an instant, the draft just now was invalidated, and as soon as Evans thought about it, he started to write:

"People say that the history of IT is a history of technological innovation and competition, but I have seen through the history of IT, but there are only two words written in it: Surrender!"

"If you use another eye and another brain, you will suddenly realize that the history of the software industry is actually a history of 'surrendering to Microsoft'..."

"I think the theory of surrender should be the number one guideline for China's IT development, and it should even be a bright light. Although surrender sounds bad, survival and development are the truth..."

No technique, all emotion.

Written well, even Wang Junxiu didn't care about the reply. Taking advantage of the excitement, he quickly wrote thousands of words. Compared with the previous article, after Wang Junxiu read it, he only had two words——

Fun!

"What you posted was not text, but anger." Wang Junxiu decided to publish it in "Information Industry News".

"Hate it for not being ambitious, be angry for not fighting!"

Fang Xingdong checked the typo again, confirmed that it was correct, and uploaded it to the recommendation columns of major portal websites, including blogs, and published it.

………………

Late at night, MSN R&D Center.

Xiong Minghua worked overtime, carefully selected first-class talents, and established a research and development team as soon as possible to make up for various shortcomings of MSN.

For example, transferring files, the transmission of large-capacity files is easily interrupted, and group chatting is completely inferior to Q group, which can not only chat by voice, but also send messages in groups.

"Drip, drip, drip."

The penguin icon on the desktop is jumping, knowing yourself and your enemy, and everyone on MSN is using QQ.

Luo Chuan, who was far away in Yanjing, sent a message: "How is your recruiting going?"

"I received 200 resumes in one day, and waited for two more days to collect five or six hundred resumes, and I will pick 40 of them."

Xiong Minghua asked about the data center, because they are only staying at the MSN Huaxia branch, and all MSN user data must be placed on servers in the United States.

However, the telecommunications sector simply did not agree.

Luo Chuan replied: "I have also talked with Yanjing, and it is still to be discussed. We will not cooperate immediately just because we are Microsoft. In a few days, I will make an appointment with Li Xiangdong from China Mobile and ask him."

All of a sudden, both sides were silent for a while, and they didn't send any messages to each other. They never expected that they would be successful in the Spring Recruitment, and they would be devastated immediately.

Xiong Minghua continued to work at hand, just eliminated 3 resumes, Luo Chuan sent another message, this time it was a link.

"Look at this quickly, something has happened!"

He copied it to the webpage, searched and the page that jumped out was the Net Arts portal, and he saw that it was a column commentary article, and the eye-catching title read "Surrender to Microsoft?" ".

My heart skipped a beat for an instant, with an ominous premonition.

Just looking at the first paragraph, I feel that there is a problem, and then look down:

"I think that all outstanding talents in Huaxia with ideals should work hard to surrender to Microsoft and pursue the goal of entering Microsoft. All aspiring Chinese enterprises should strive to be able to fall into the arms of Microsoft..."

There is no need to look at the following, Xiong Minghua has realized the seriousness of the matter, and quickly typed:
"You are in Yanjing, and China's portal websites are all in Yanjing. You should quickly contact Sohu, Yahoo, Wangyi, Xinlang, and ask them to download the article and block the account. I will contact the forum website."

Luo Chuan replied: "I have contacted, Sohu and Yahoo agree, Net Arts and Xinlang disagree."

"Why? Don't they want to work with us Microsoft?"

Xiong Minghua couldn't believe it, "It's just deleting the title of the article. They don't want to give this little face?"

Luo Chuan said: "They didn't explain, but people from Yahoo told me that Penguin is a shareholder of Net Arts, and Penguin's major shareholder, Lu Fei, is also a shareholder of Net Arts and Sina."

"What?!"

Xiong Minghua: (⊙⊙)
