On June 28, 1995, Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington were almost all sunny. However, in the minds of Internet practitioners in 1995, this day seemed to be full of violent storms and thunder. In the past, every event was a major shock to the industry, but this day was like a big discount sale in the mall, and it was like a money-free gushing out.

In the history of this new time and space, it is destined to remember this day. It was almost the Internet that was running at high speed on the highway called "Net View". Suddenly, the front of the car turned 180°, and it was about to drive onto the fork road called "Liu Er".

More than 20 large-scale websites with high influence on the Internet in the United States have intensively launched news that they will soon develop the Six-Ear browser version. Then, affected by this trend, more websites have joined the trend of developing dual-browser versions.

Not only that, these leaders and vanguards in the Internet field have launched more than a dozen new functions and new forms of websites in one fell swoop. These websites use technical standards that are friendly to Liu'er browser without exception.

Such a shocking offensive and dense frequency were announced within one day. The impact of the Internet industry was like a major eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano.

The dark cloud that was originally floating above the Netscape Empire suddenly turned into a thick cloud of volcanic ash mushrooms. The feeling of black clouds covering the city enveloped the hearts of every Netscape company staff. Especially for Mark Anderson, these overwhelming news were simply a slap that was called to him.

This violent sudden attack successfully defeated Mark Anderson's inner defense. He really couldn't figure out why the Internet changed overnight. What is the need for Liuer Browser, which has installed a number of only one million, to let major websites develop an optimized version? But whether he understands it or not, the news from major websites has long proved that this is happening.

Mark Anderson locked himself in the office and smashed everything he could use to vent. As the saying goes, on a rainy night, Netscape Company did not make a comeback under strong external pressure. Instead, it exploded the hidden dangers buried due to rapid development.

"Mr. Anderson!" Mark Anderson's assistant ran into his office in panic and happened to witness the scene of his loss of composure.

"What's the matter? Didn't I say no one is allowed to come in!" Mark Anderson roared to his assistant in anger.

In the face of his storm, the assistant swallowed in panic and said nervously: "There are rumors that Mr. Clark is preparing to hold a board meeting to discuss the appointment and removal of your CEO position!"

"shit! These damn money creatures, shameless capitalists!" Mark Anderson looked around and seemed to have nothing to vent his vent. He moved his desk angrily. But it didn't move at all.

Finally, he had to sit on the ground in a disgust, waved his hand and said, "I understand, you go out."

Looking at his desperate appearance, it seemed that his life was already like this. His calm heart refused to rush again. He felt depressed and powerless after venting his feelings of depression and powerlessness. At this moment, it was deeply entangled in him.

Not only Mark Anderson was blaming himself, but even the entire Netscape company was condemning his actions in unison. Over the past period of time, his pressure has been too great.

It can almost be said that it was precisely because of his mistakes in decision making that Netscape Company fell to this point today. Mark Anderson's conceit and proud character are to blame. People will not care about how much benefits you bring to him when you are glorious, but will resent how much losses you have caused to them when you are frustrated.

Others at Netscape Company would not think that it was Mark Anderson who created Netscape Company. Like most people in the world, they only saw that Netscape Company, which had a promising future, was about to be challenged by Liuer Software Company. Silent accusations and various private rumors kept flowing under the water.

Everyone forgot that it was Mark Anderson who created this market and Netscape. Not only did he fail to respond to Liuer Software Company, but he also became the target of attacks by others. Especially the Netscape communication project he promoted was regarded as the culprit of the current situation and was almost collectively boycotted by the company.

The assistant was a little worried, not only because of his mental state. As the CEO assistant, although he usually looks glorious, once Mark Anderson falls, his position will inevitably be out of order. He holds Mark Anderson's shoulder and says excitedly: "Mr. Anderson, we must take action!"

"Action? Everything is too late." Mark Anderson smiled self-deprecatingly, saying: "Without Mr. Clark's support, I don't have an advantage in the company. If the investor makes up his mind to replace me, there is nothing that can prevent the capital from exercising its power."

It seemed that he was thinking about the net scene he was about to be kicked out and created. Mark Anderson slowly closed his eyes and leaned weakly on the desk legs.

"But we can still change the market!" the assistant persuaded earnestly: "Netview Company has not failed, but the situation is temporarily unfavorable to us. But at present, most users in the market are still using Netview browser. As long as the market can be restored, it will not be too late."

"Strive back to the market?" Mark Anderson gradually calmed down, but he still shook his head and said disappointedly: "Unless I can also come up with more than 20 promising projects, or can improve the performance of Netscape browser to the level of Six-Ear browser in a short period of time, we will not be able to compete with Six-Ear browser."

Mark Anderson has been continuously studying Liu'er Browser. However, the more you study it in depth, the more you feel powerless. If Netscape browser is the hero created by the times, then Liu'er Browser is destined to create the times.

Every technology it uses is like the general trend of history and will inevitably lead the trend in the future.

"Our advantage is not just technology!" The assistant shook Mark Anderson's shoulder and said desperately: "Since the problem cannot be solved, then eliminate the problem! Netscape itself has capital that Liuer Software Company has beyond the reach of it, and we can acquire them. We lack cash, and we can also cross-holding through cross-holding. As long as the acquisition is successful, Netscape Company will have a profit of dozens or hundreds of times after its successful listing!"

"Acquisition!" Mark Anderson's eyes lit up and he suddenly said: "Yes, at least in the browser market, our current situation is that when we share it, we have two benefits, and when we share it, we have two harms. There is a saying among Chinese people that who will win, but it is still unknown. Liuer Software Company may not agree to the acquisition request!"

"Quick, help me contact Mr. Joy of Liuer Software." Mark Anderson cheered up and stood up and said, "I will seize this last opportunity before Clark holds a board meeting to revoke my CEO status!"

It seems that geniuses always have a commonality. After Netscape was acquired by American Online, Mark Anderson realized the essence of his unsuitable company and turned to venture capital. With his vision and relationships, he went smoothly later. Steve Jobs, who also had this talent for pioneering, realized his personality flaws after being kicked out of Apple by his partners for the first time. He finally made this legendary company with the second time he took over Apple.

Not only Mark Anderson, but even Bill from Microsoft was stunned by this. He thought that Liu'er browser would only cause some trouble for Netscape at most, but the failure in the browser market would lead to the contraction of Liu'er Software Company, and he could naturally buy it at a low price at that time.

But who knows that in less than a month, the browser dispute on the Internet has developed so dazzlingly. In the current form, it has become an unknown thing to win the browser war. However, Liuer IM's business has not been affected by Netscape Communications, and it still occupied the market in an orderly manner at the speed of one to ten or ten to hundreds.

Especially for Bill, he asked himself if he could do this level if he stood from the perspective of Liuer Software Company? It took two or three years to defeat Netscape, but if he wanted to turn his hands into a cloud and rain in a few months, the richest man in the world would really not be able to do it.

This person is really terrible.

"Mr. James, please sit down." Bill sighed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

"Mr. Bill, are you asking me for the sake of Liuer Software?" This is the fourth time James sat opposite Bill's desk, but three of them were not because of his own work.

Bill nodded and smiled, "The company has considered it. After researching the acquisition conditions you reached with Liuer Software Company last time, we decided to agree. This time, I mainly hope that you can run again and convey this good news to Mr. Joey."

"One hundred million cash, and a 3% cross-holding, occupying 80% of Liuer Software's shares?" James confirmed with a serious expression.

"Yes, it's not easy for me to get this condition on the board of directors!" Bill sighed: "3% of Microsoft shares are a lot of money!"
Chapter completed!
