The window was open, and the cool wind blew in with the green air of the plants. It was actually very cool, but Feng Yiping still felt it was so hot.

He rolled up his sleeves habitually, but he felt his sweaty arm. He is now wearing a Google short-sleeved white T-shirt.

You should know that this is Silicon Valley in May, and it is still indoors. It is actually very inappropriate for such a situation to happen.

Because the Bay Area is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and because of the influence of the California cold current, Silicon Valley has a typical Mediterranean climate, that is, cool summer.

For the climate we know at least, American writer Mark Twain, has a very classic summary, “The coldest winter I’ve ever experienced is the summer in San Francisco.”

Although the sunlight looks quite bright, the temperature is actually not high, with an average of only about 20 degrees. Today's forecast is only 18 degrees.

Feng Yiping, who can make the qi cultivation skills good now and it is difficult to experience severe emotional fluctuations in such weather. He naturally won’t be an idiot, mainly Peppa, who is also wearing a gray T-shirt in the company.

"Business is business guy," Feng Yiping couldn't help but knock on the table a few times. "Yes, all the services we launched are to serve the public, change the world, and make the world a better place. I fully agree with this and support it very much."

"But, ipo is ipo, subscription is subscription, and investors subscribe to our stocks. The first thing they want is not to make the world better. They want good returns, right? We cannot ask everyone to agree with our views,"

"What's more, because our iPo this time is auction-style pricing, it will give more ordinary people the opportunity to subscribe to our stocks. How can we hope to let them use a small amount of funds to support us in realizing our dreams?"

"First of all, many people agree with our ideas. Secondly, we are either without returns. I insist on not paying dividends, or I firmly believe that we can bring them greater returns, so that they should not pay too much attention to short-term stock price fluctuations," Page still couldn't pour in.

What they are arguing about now is naturally some of the questions in the prospectus, about his words "no dividends are paid."

In fact, the conference room in the past two days is the most eye-catching place for Google, which is relatively not very busy. Many people either pass by or simply pass by outside openly, just to see the three of them seemingly intense "discussions" inside.

Especially Feng Yiping, he has always been a very gentle person in the impression of Google people.

But the performances in the past few days have completely improved everyone's image. Some experienced guys even said with relief, "See, this is the real Google man!"

The reason they say this is because influenced by the two weird things Page and Brin, the early Google meetings were always a merciless argument.

The reason why Feng Yiping is so overbearing now is that the two guys on the other side are their own partners rather than subordinates, and can only convince rather than order.

But convinced them that Feng Yiping sometimes really wanted to hit the wall.

"Yes, of course I believe that we can bring very big returns to investors, hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars,"

Hearing this, Brin touched Page and thought to himself that this guy Feng is really confident in the company and brings 1 billion returns to investors. They have thought about it, but 10 billion, and that hasn't been clear.

"But you have to understand that in the eyes of many investors, the possibility of us being able to bring you a $1 billion return is definitely not greater than 10%, right?"

This is of course certainly true. No matter how good the company is, no one will firmly believe that it will definitely bring high returns. Otherwise, people like Mr. Buffett would not be so rare.

"Besides, we can do this in specific operations, so in the prospectus, there is no need to add such a strong emotional color and easily lead to adverse effects, is it OK?"

Feng Yiping, who has participated in the preparations for the listing twice, really thinks this is the most difficult one. In the past, he just wanted to encourage the preparation team to work hard. This time, he had to do the work of these two guys first.

"Okay, I agree to delete this one, but I insist on the others, this is me...,"

Before Page finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open with a "bang". Schmidt walked in with an anxious look on his face, "Everyone, we are in trouble,"

"You can tell from your appearance," Page, who had just made some concessions, was not very happy.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yiping and Blin asked.

“Microsoft has officially responded to our browser,” Schmidt said in his hand. “Dean, the head of their III department, told reporters that our products are full of loopholes and forced bundling of search terms also limits everyone’s choices.”

"They are embarrassed to say such things?" Page immediately slapped the table.

Indeed, this is really inappropriate for Microsoft.

IE Browser breaks out of time and Microsoft's operating system breaks out of time, just like those experts are always slapped in the face, it has long been no longer news.

This year is even more of a high incidence period. I'm using address spoofing vulnerabilities, bypassing the system's program run vulnerabilities, triggering pop-up advertising vulnerabilities...

The most serious thing is naturally the "shock wave" worm loophole that broke out at the end of April and just calmed down.

As for forced bundling sales, please, this is simply synonymous with Microsoft, and because of the sales of money, Microsoft has been in trouble with one country more than once.

"I have to remind you that we are in the silent period now," Schmidt said.

"Despicable!" Feng Yiping and the others said almost at the same time.

Unexpectedly, giants like Microsoft will also take advantage of loopholes that they are not easy to speak out for a while.

"It's not all that," Schmidt took out a document. "We received feedback. Some users said that Microsoft's own security software treats our browser as a virus and uninstalls our browser in its device," (Yes, Microsoft has also done something like some domestic companies that are as useless as it is)

"Ah?" When the brother-san heard this, he opened his mouth wide at the same time. Is there such a thing?

"Yes," Schmidtken nodded, "in the forum, we have received more than one feedback,"

"Shameless!" The three of them said a word at the same time as if they had rehearsed.

This time, even Bolling slapped on the table.

"How to deal with this?" Schmidt walked around the conference room with his waist on his waist. "Look, I have said a long time ago that we must be cautious about browsers. We are very different from Microsoft's strength now, but you just insist on it."

He looked like he didn't listen to the old man, "Look at it now,"

In fact, what he said is indeed reasonable.

The reason why Microsoft is so useless and so decent this time is because Google's free browser really poses a threat to it.

Especially this year, this year, it can be said that I was launched in an unfavorable year, which made Microsoft really annoyed.

Before Google Chrome was launched, Microsoft's IE had already suffered a revenge this year. Another major browser on the market, the browser that has just been renamed Firefox, has a share of more than 30% in some regions due to the problems exposed by Microsoft IE, and has successfully become a major concern for Microsoft.

The reason why it is said to be revenge is that to a certain extent, Firefox inherited Netjing's mantle.

And the once glorious Netscape can be said to be the one who was killed by Microsoft.

But Netscape is also a bit foresighted.

In January 1998, in order to meet the reality of losing streak in the competition with Microsoft I, Netscape began to implement the "Mozilla Plan". Even in November of that year, after Netscape was acquired by American Online, the mozilla organization still did not stop in its research and development.

By May last year, aol sued Microsoft for monopoly reached a settlement, one of the conditions was that Aol agreed to dissolve Netscape and suspend its business - it can be seen that Microsoft is still quite afraid of Netscape.

On July 15 of the same year (the day AOL closed all its business in Netscape), the mozilla organization officially registered as a non-profit organization, and officially renamed the mozilla Foundation, and launched the predecessor of Firefox, Phoenix Browser.

As a result, the famous Murphy's Law also applies to giants like Microsoft. Netscape, which has been in distant, actually gave them a heavy blow this year in this way.

You should know that at the end of last year, Microsoft occupied at least 96% of the entire browser market share.

But before one wave was settled, another wave started again. Firefox was sieging the city with a proud look. Google suddenly appeared and inserted a knife into Microsoft's waist - they launched their own browser quietly.

Like Firefox, it is also free, and the installed capacity is increasing rapidly.

Microsoft knows clearly that compared to that Firefox browser, which has a mission of revenge, has the threat brought by Google's browser to a certain extent, due to its success in search business.

So they quickly responded and must give this disobedient junior a colorseesee as soon as possible. If a tiger doesn’t have a cat, do you think I am critically ill?

Because of the intense reaction, their time was indeed not authentic enough.

Of course, in terms of practice, especially the latter approach, is even less authentic.

Because Schmidt's question pointed to Feng Yiping - after all, he proposed the proposal to develop a browser, Page and Brin immediately expressed opposition.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with our persistence, you haven't seen the data of our business after the browser launch? There's a big rise, so it's a good decision and it's a good product," Page said.

"Yes, Microsoft's reaction just makes this point strong," said Bryn.

"The problem is that if the browser is not launched at this critical moment, our iPo will be very smooth, and now, because of Microsoft's reaction, it is likely to have an impact on our iPo,"

Schmidt knew that Microsoft's influence was not comparable to Google at this time, whether in the government or in the public.

"Anyway, as the entrance to the Internet, browsers are products that we must not give up on," said Page.

Feng Yiping, who had been silent, also spoke, "I think the impact of this matter may not be that serious,"

"Yes, I admit that Microsoft is really not easy to mess with, but their so-called accusations will only make everyone laugh, right?"

Schmidt could not object to this point, it was the fact.

"Besides, what's so strange about publicly criticizing competitors in the media? Is it true that the public believes whatever they say?"

"Why uninstall our browser as a virus?" Schmidt asked. "What are we good ways? Can we stand out and explain that our browser is not a virus?"

"In order to make our iPo go smoothly and to prevent SEC from grabbing the handle, I strongly recommend that you not do such a move during the silent period," he glanced at Page.

He was not wrong with his concern. If it weren't for the shareholders who broke through the 500 mark last year, or if it weren't for federal law that this threshold was reached one year after reaching this threshold, the company would either offer its shares to sell or disclose its detailed cost information, and Page would not agree to let the company go public.

Maybe he still has this resistance now, so he just took this opportunity to go out and yell, so that Sec would not pass the approval.

Besides, Page has a bad temper and is particularly cherished and cared for the products he developed. How could he tolerate those guys and treat the products he has worked hard to develop?

"When virus uninstallation, Schmidt, I don't think you have to worry too much," said Feng Yiping., a better user experience.
