Rebirth Capital Entertainment

"It's really troublesome."

David Ferro frowned and spoke to Jerry Yang. In David's hand was a piece of data released by Google.

David Filo was keenly aware of the threat from the emergence of Google and had been persuading the board of directors to acquire Google. However, at that time, Kaos had no idea of ​​introducing other investments, let alone selling Google.

In addition, Google did not present such a powerful threat, so David Filo temporarily put it aside and made large-scale investments or mergers and acquisitions when he wanted to deal with the shortage of money.

There is actually nothing wrong with this idea. In Google's history, it took more than five years of development before it gained sufficient strength and gradually threatened Yahoo's position.

There are funding issues, as well as technology development time requirements. Among them, the design ideas of software programming are the most important part, which requires step-by-step and long-term experiments to complete.

However, with Kaos, a reborn person, who directly stole the design ideas of later generations of Google, coupled with superb programming skills, the new Google is much more complete than the Google of the previous life, and the speed of technological updates is also unexpected.

It took almost a year to complete the technical requirements that should have been achieved in four to five years. This also made Google develop extremely rapidly. It only took one year for Yahoo to feel heavy pressure.

What makes David Ferro even more worried is that Google's financing this time consciously avoided Yahoo, preventing them from entering Google's board of directors, which made him feel even worse.

This is the reason why Yahoo so decisively canceled Google online search on the Yahoo portal.

“Are we really so different from each other in online search technology?”

Although Yahoo was founded by Jerry Yang and David Filo, Jerry Yang is better at decision-making, but it is David Filo who is really responsible for technology.

Faced with the pressure from Google, Jerry Yang naturally could only ask David Filo to know whether the direct gap between the two could be bridged.

"I can only say that they are not ordinary big, and their technology upgrades very quickly. We have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but it is still difficult to keep up. Often when we upgrade once, they will upgrade immediately and leave us behind again.

Behind you."

David Ferro shook his head in distress. He had never competed with the other party and could not feel the despair. David Ferro, who was even more troublesome, had not spoken out yet.

That is because they have always pirated each other's technical ideas. This is the reason why they can continuously upgrade their systems. If they were allowed to stay ahead of Google, they would have been surpassed long ago.

This makes their search engine even more vulnerable. Now they can just piracy so unscrupulously while Google's pile of patent documents have not yet been approved.

Such behavior naturally has hidden dangers, that is, after Google's patent is issued, their online search engine will almost be paralyzed unless a thorough technical improvement is carried out.

Of course, you can continue to hold on until Google wins the lawsuit, Yahoo will pay some money, and then make technical replacements.

Don’t think that after the Western patent system has been around for hundreds of years, greedy businessmen will really abide by it honestly. Capital has no bottom line. As long as the profit is enough, it will dare to cross the death penalty. There is nothing Yahoo dare not do.

Microsoft, led by the world's richest man Bill Gates, has infringed many times during its development, but every time it relied on the time spent wrangling patent lawsuits to drag its opponents into bankruptcy, and then changed hands to lose money and acquire the other party, that is, it was eliminated.

He defeated his opponent and obtained the patent he needed.

If forced to do so, Yahoo will also follow Microsoft's lead, but now that Google has matured, they don't even have such an opportunity.

"There is no need to be so pessimistic. We still have a chance. Yahoo is oriented towards the all-round idea of ​​the Internet of Everything. Its functions are much stronger and more comprehensive than Google's online search function, so we still have a chance.

"

Yang Zhiyuan frowned. Although he knew that there was a gap between Yahoo and Google in online search, he did not expect that it was so big that his old friend was completely suppressed and lost the courage to compete.

But he also knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. Since the search engine could not compare with Google, he would work hard to develop in other aspects.

The design of the Yahoo portal website is based on the Internet of Everything, so that all Yahoo users can easily find the website content they need on their portal website.

This is their vision, and this is what they have been working hard on. Today, almost all Internet users, the first thing they open when logging into their browser is their Yahoo portal. This is their success.

With so many functions on the website, the online search function is weaker, which in Yang Zhiyuan's opinion is not so fatal.

After thinking about it, Jerry Yang said to David Filo: "I think now I should learn about Google early and start to expand the big cake of the international market, otherwise I will really be left far behind by Google."

"Well, I understand. There are no more technical problems. You can start at any time. I originally wanted to do the Internet of Everything in the United States first, but now it seems that I am really conservative."

David Ferro nodded and agreed with Yang Zhiyuan's statement. This competition is because Google entered the international market first, which allowed Google to quickly make up for the loss in data. Otherwise, just in the domestic market of the United States, Google

I am afraid that we are still in a deep pool of resistance now. After all, data traffic is the lifeblood of Internet companies.

It's just that neither Jerry Yang nor David Filo realized that compared to users searching for the URLs they need on their portals, Google's online search would be much more convenient for them.

As time goes by, the gap will become more and more obvious. This is Yahoo's fatal flaw. Just standing in the waves of the times, the two of them cannot see through this. Instead, they are still imagining the prosperity of their portal.

develop.

Of course, this does not mean that Google is already in a winning position. Compared with Yahoo, Google lacks user stickiness. Even the number of users cannot be calculated, but only the number of daily searches can be seen.

to estimate the number of users you have.

This is also the disadvantage of a single online search engine. In the future, Baidu in China will slowly fall from the altar from a first-tier Internet company, and can only lie on its own skeleton and wait for death.

Therefore, if Kaos wants to develop Google, instead of just resting on its laurels, it must also diversify Google, but there is also a roadblock in front of it, Yahoo.

For a time, the two companies seemed to be in love with each other.
