Chapter 209 Proud Anderson

Mark Anderson truly felt the coldness of the blade under his neck. Although this was the war he had taken on, it did not move forward according to the script he had imagined.

"Liuer Software Company has created another Internet!"

"Since Liuer IM, Liuer Software has shown its ability to control the Internet beyond Tongji. It seems that in the head of the company's CEO Joey, there is an Internet that is completely different from that now.

From this series of successes, it can be seen that he has a mature and systematic thinking about the Internet business model. From the use of user data by Liuer IM to the personal website craze opened by Liuer browser. We can see that this person’s genius is not a flash of inspiration, but a support from a theoretical system. His understanding of the Internet is beyond this era.

It seems that in our mind not long ago, the website was still like a TV station, and the visitors were the audience. But now we understand that the Internet and the TV network are different. The Internet is not a tool for our lives, but life itself. Liuer IM allowed the Internet to be integrated into our lives, while Liuer browser made us the masters of the Internet.

Liuer Software Company has changed the Internet and changed our lives.

Although Mr. Mark Anderson of Netscape Company provoked this war, it was obvious that this process was far beyond his expectations. Netscape Communications' huge size and frequent bugs did not give it much market share of IM software. However, Netscape's pillar industry browser is facing a serious threat from Liuer browser.

We don’t know when Liuer Software Company will decide the winner and lose with Netscape. But obviously, Netscape has lost a point in this war."

"Didn't the National Internet Society Communications claim to be an academic journal? How can you publish such articles with obvious tendencies?" Mark Anderson shouted angrily: "Send me a protest letter to its editorial department in the name of Netscape! Go quickly!"

Mark Anderson's assistant roared in his anger and walked in from outside and said, "Mr. Anderson, Mr. Steve Case, president of AOL, wants to see you."

"AOL's Steve Case?" Mark Anderson was stunned and nodded, "Let him come in."

The assistant hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Anderson, should we greet him?"

"What to welcome?" Mark Anderson waved his hand and said disdainfully: "If it weren't for me, would the Internet market be so big? AOL has developed only after I gained my attention."

He paused, pointed to his assistant's chest and shouted, "Remember in the Internet field, I am the boss, I will always be!"

Steve Case walked in from outside the door with a smile. He seemed to be unhappy with Mark Anderson's attitude of being arrogant. He took the initiative to reach out and walked forward a few steps to the front of the desk.

"Mr. Anderson, long time no see."

Mark Anderson and Steve Case shook hands gently, he nodded slightly and asked, "Mr. Case, what is the task that can work for you? Come to Netview Building in person?"

Steve Case has long heard of Mark Anderson's bad temper. He may have some business vision, but he is really naive in business. I have to say that Netscape's success has a very lucky element. Moreover, since Netscape was called "Microsoft of the Internet", he has not learned much about Bill's skills, but Microsoft's pride and domineering have been learned very much.

"I think you may need help." Case said with a sincere smile: "Netview seems to have encountered some minor troubles recently, and American Online is willing to provide you with some help."

"Help?" Mark Anderson looked at Case and asked with a smile without a smile: "Why does Mr. Case think Netscape needs help?"

Case sat down opposite him uninvited and said as if nothing had happened: "Please, Netjing's situation is very awkward now, this is something we all know. That Chinese person has given you a lot of trouble, right?"

Mark Anderson said impatiently: "What a joke? In the Internet field, Netscape will not have enemies, only defeated players."

In his eyes, the Liu'er browser that suddenly broke out was indeed a dark horse. But if it was said that it would become the enemy of Netscape, Liu'er Software Company was not qualified enough. Liu'er browser may have successfully entered the browser market and occupied some share, but many people would rather install two browsers than uninstall Netscape browser.

Because on the Internet today, most of the content is still made by Netscape browser. Although the personal websites dominated by Liuer Browser are already very considerable just by looking at the number of sites, they are not much in terms of visits and content. Mark Anderson's confidence is not aimless.

"I really want to give Netscape some help. We have no competitive relationship. On the contrary, we have a common enemy." Case crossed his hands, looked at Mark Anderson's eyes, and said sincerely: "American Online can unite with Netscape, and we can help you consolidate your country."

"Netscape's country is very stable, and no one can shake our market." Mark Anderson raised his head and said with pride, pretending to be disdainful: "But I still have the reason to hear how you want to cooperate."

"Good!" Case snapped his fingers happily. He would not care about Mark Anderson's attitude. For real businessmen, only interests need to be taken seriously. Not to mention that they are just a little pride, he has seen technicians who are even more sensible than Mark Anderson.

Case lowered his head and said slowly and temptedly: "The homepage of Netscape browser has tens of millions of visits every day, but your webpage only has some news about your own company."

He spread his hands and accused in a strong tone: "Do you know what this is? This is waste, and waste is a crime! I have a plan that Netscape and American Online can become a pair of strategic partners. You can entrust part of the content of Netscape company website to American Online, and in return, American Online will use Netscape browser as a recommended browser and make special optimizations. Millions of American Online users will become loyal users of Netscape browser, so that they can completely curb the expansion of Liuer Company."

Mark Anderson asked in confusion: "Why does AOL do this? Don't forget that you have other cooperation with that Chinese Joey."

"Because America Online is interested in the IM market." Case replied neatly: "Beat Liuer Software Company, you get the browser part, and I get the IM part."

Case's business vision is unquestionable. He was the first person to predict the Penguin-style Internet overlord model. In history, the United States Online acquired the declining originator of instant messaging ICQ and persisted under the strong pressure of MSN. However, Case, who is only ambitious, has always been destined to be a destiny. Although he has outstanding talents, both Netscape and ICQ have to wait until Microsoft teaches him to be a human being before it is broken into pieces.

Even though he was full of bad cards that others played, Case eventually led Ai Online to become the largest Internet service provider in the United States. Although Netscape, which was finally merged into Ai Online, was forced to dissolve, leaving only a Mozilla Foundation, it eventually gave birth to the great browser, Firefox. With his support, ICQ, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, also persisted in the tenacious competition with MSN.

Judging from the American online development route chosen by Case in history, Zhou Shuo’s Liuer Software Company is indeed the biggest roadblock and nutrient in front of his expansion blueprint.

But everyone feels that they can become the screenwriter in the mall, but in the end they will feel helpless to find that they are all actors who do not perform according to the script.

Mark Anderson lowered his head and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Do you want the market for Liuer IM? This is what you need to consider. But Netscape browser does not need to cooperate with others, so it will definitely defeat Liuer browser. We have encountered some small setbacks, but as long as Netscape still accounts for 90% of the browser market, it doesn't matter. If you want to cooperate with Netscape to defeat Liuer Software Company, you have to pay more. American Online wants the homepage of Netscape browser? No problem, five million dollars, advertising profit sharing, this can be given to you."

In fact, since Netscape Company was born, AOL has been attracted to this company with great prospects. Case has repeatedly hoped to become a member of the board of directors of Netscape Company, but unfortunately Mark Anderson did not give him any chance and has never let go of this investment. Naturally, this time he thought in his heart that Case was taking this opportunity to settle in Netscape, and subconsciously wanted to guard him strictly.

"Mr. Anderson, I brought America Online sincerity today." Case said angrily: "But I don't feel any sincere feedback here."

"You seem to be wrong. It's because A. Online is looking for Netscape companies, not Netscape needs A. Online." Mark Anderson said proudly: "Without A. Online, we won't fail. But without Netscape, A. Online wouldn't have to get a six-ear IM."

Keys persuaded earnestly: "Mr. Anderson, this is a win-win situation. We don't need to oppose each other. Drive that Chinese away, and the extra market is enough for us to share."
