Chapter 1,138 Claim for US$1 Billion

On the day of the second trial of "Baidu Earth" infringement of "Google Earth", when "Google" announced that it would increase the capacity of "gmail" to 2G, the industry was excited. You know, it was only a short time before "Google" officially launched "gmail"

The upgrade was actually carried out in one day. The reason for the upgrade so quickly is self-evident.

"Google" and "Baidu Portal" have officially started a war!

Media around the world are reporting this incident crazily. Media from various countries have invited experts from all walks of life to conduct an in-depth analysis of this focus battle in the online world, and to analyze who will have the last laugh, and who will be the dominant player in the search engine industry, "Google"

, still want to subvert the traditional "Baidu portal".

“gmail” 2g versus “tmail” 2g, who will users choose?

Some good media did some research. In the United States, at the headquarters of "Google", more than 70% of users use "Google" and "gmail", and less than 7% use "Baidu Portal".

tmail". The remaining 23% of users either do not use these two software, or use software launched by other search engine companies. For example, "Yahoo" also joined in the fun and launched a system similar to "gmail", attracting these

For many users among the 23%, "Microsoft" was not willing to remain silent and launched the same system, basically dividing the remaining market share with "Yahoo".

There is no way, now these two companies are seizing the market, and they must take action. Even if they want to watch the fire from the other side, they cannot completely give up the market. Otherwise, once the two major companies decide the winner and divide the market, they will

I can only sigh with hope.

Contrary to the U.S. market, in the Chinese market, "tmail" of "Baidu Portal" occupies 90% of the market share, and the remaining market share is divided up by "Yahoo", "NetEase" and "Sohu". As for

"Google", the market is infinitely equal to zero. It is not an exaggeration to say that in the Chinese market, "Baidu Portal" is more monopolistic than "Google".

As for the Asian market, although "Tmail" of "Baidu Portal" has declined sharply, it still occupies 45% of the market share, "Yahoo" occupies 30%, "Google" occupies 24%, and "Microsoft" accounts for the rest.

In fact, speaking of it, both "Yahoo" and "Microsoft" are unlucky.

Originally, "Yahoo" had an absolute market share in the Asian market, far surpassing "Google". However, unfortunately, due to the war between "Baidu Portal" and "Google", "Yahoo" chose to sit back and watch.

Fighting. No way, this "sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight" is good. Due to the crazy reports of the global media, "Baidu Portal", a search engine that originally only had an absolute dominance in the Chinese mainland market, instantly became popular all over the world. In terms of popularity,

Second only to "Google" and more than "Yahoo", it has become the second choice for Internet users to surf the Internet, especially in Asia. "Baidu Portal" has become the first choice for Asian netizens, which makes "Yahoo" extremely depressed. But at this time, it joins the war.

, is obviously not a wise choice. Therefore, "Yahoo" can only break its teeth and swallow it, silently waiting for the opportunity.

As for "Microsoft", it has never opened up in the Asian market. Its market is mainly limited to the United States. "Microsoft" also chose to watch this war, and naturally its "msn" search engine has become even more uninterested.

But in Europe, the situation has changed again. The European market is probably the most competitive market. For both parties, this can be said to be an extremely fair battlefield. Unlike the United States and China, which are both "home fields", everyone here

They are all customers, so they can only compete fairly. However, relying on the global market share of "google", "gmail" of "google" still accounts for the majority, with a total share of 65%, while "tmail" of "Baidu Portal"

After obtaining 20% ​​of the market share, "Yahoo" occupies most of the remaining market share. As for "Microsoft", it is still extremely pitiful in this regard.

This cruel reality gave "Yahoo" and "Microsoft" some ideas. If it continues like this, the global market may eventually be divided between "Google" and "Baidu Portal". You know, the two

The war between two companies is the best advertising for the two companies. Under the crazy reports of the global media, even people who do not surf the Internet know that there is now a "Baidu Portal" and "Google" competing for the search engine market no.

1 status. If "Yahoo" and "Microsoft" don't take action, they will really be reduced to cannon fodder.

"The court is in session!" With the judge's order, the infringement case of "Baidu Earth" infringing "Google Earth" has begun again.

This court session was as Ron expected. After three hours of boring debate, the judge once again announced the adjournment. The next court session will still be held in ten days. According to Ron's calculation, this kind of case will probably happen again.

It will take several ten days for it to end.

Of course, after the second court session, Ron submitted a lawsuit to the court on behalf of "Baidu Portal" regarding "Google's malicious defamation of Baidu Portal", requiring "Google" to compensate "Baidu Portal" for reputation and defamation fees, reputation defamation fees, etc.

The cost totaled $1 billion.

When Ron loudly read his attorney's complaint to the court, the whole court was in uproar.

In the past two days, the dispute between "Tmail" of "Baidu Portal" and "gmail" of "Google" has been very lively, which has surprised the outside world and wonders how this power struggle will develop. As a result

, Today, Lin Feng gave the answer.

A claim of US$1 billion! Although this is not the highest claim record in the history of the United States, it undoubtedly made the entire court explode.

Jobs is still present at the scene today. Anyway, he has nothing major to do, not to mention that this lawsuit affects the future direction of the entire network and also affects many IT companies. Of course, Jobs will come to listen in person. Although the major media will later truthfully report this

What happened was reported, but what the reporter paid attention to was not the same as what Jobs paid attention to. Jobs could get the information he wanted from the demeanor, actions, and facial expressions of both parties.

At this moment, Jobs smiled slightly when he heard that Ron was claiming $1 billion from "Google" on behalf of "Baidu Portal". It seems that from this moment on, the two sides will start to fight with each other, and I am afraid that they will enter a fight to the death.

.Originally, Jobs thought that the two sides would just get over it once they met. In the end, relying on the popularity brought by this war, he re-divided the market, each reaped the maximum benefits, achieved a win-win situation, and squeezed out other companies.

Now it seems that it is impossible for the two parties to reconcile. When Lin Feng's lawsuit claiming US$1 billion comes out, the two companies will fall into a never-ending ending. - Jobs secretly speculated. But it is still in the early stages of the war.

It has just begun to upgrade. The two companies are currently only competing in the field of search engines. If it expands to other fields in the future, the war will be exciting. It may become the first World War in the history of the business world.

After all, the energy of both parties is not small. "Google" may be better, and its area of ​​involvement is only in the search engine area for the time being. But Lin Feng is different. The power it can control is too large and too many. Once it is in

In the field of search engines, "Baidu Portal" cannot compete with "Google", and there is no guarantee that Lin Feng will not adopt a multi-pronged approach. For example, "Tencent" owned by Lin Feng is a company that can cheer for "Baidu Portal", and its "qq"

It is completely possible to bundle "tmail" of "Baidu Portal", not to mention the "Second World", and the search engine of "Baidu Portal" can also be integrated into the game, etc.

Once this happens, "Google" will inevitably fight back, and the war will expand. Once it expands, it will be difficult not to become a world war. What's more, there is a madman Ellison on Lin Feng's side. He has not taken action yet, but

He was so arrogant when he expressed his full support for Lin Feng. With his character, it would never be without purpose. He would definitely take action? And Ellison has not taken any action yet, which means that he must have a big plan. The later Ellison is, the more he will take action.

The more you take action, the more terrifying this plan will be. It may shock the entire industry!

But the more chaos, the better. Apple has been dormant for too long and needs to take the opportunity to revive the world! - Jobs is particularly looking forward to troubled times. If Apple is too stable, even if it can restore its former glory, it will not be what Jobs thought.

What he wants. What he wants is for "Apple" to regain its leadership position in the IT industry. Thinking back to the beginning, even "Microsoft" wanted to look at "Apple's" face, but now it is in such a slump, Jobs is definitely not willing to accept it.

Steve Jobs was ambitious, and "Microsoft" was equally ambitious. Steve Ballmer wanted the two companies to get into more trouble, so that "Microsoft" could take advantage of the fire. Although it might bring chaos to the entire IT world,

But "Microsoft" is not afraid. "Microsoft" has enough capital to occupy the largest position in this "troubled world". Because all computers must use "Microsoft's" operating system.

Therefore, in the view of Microsoft President Steve Ballmer, Lin Feng's claim for US$1 billion is too petty. He must at least claim US$2 billion!
Chapter completed!
