Chapter 32: Yahoo's distress
"It's really troublesome."
David Ferro frowned and said to Jerry Yang. In David's hand was a data released by Google.
Regarding the emergence of Google, David Ferro felt the threat keenly and had been persuading the board of directors to acquire Google. However, at that time, Kaos did not introduce any other investment ideas, and there was no intention of selling Google.
In addition, Google did not have such a powerful threat, so David Ferro put it aside for the time being and wanted to deal with the shortage of money before making large-scale investments or mergers.
There is actually nothing wrong with this idea. After more than five years of development in Google's history, it has been enough strength to gradually threaten Yahoo's status.
There are funding issues and technology development time requirements. Among them, the design ideas of software programming are the most important part, which requires a step-by-step experiment to complete.
However, with Kaos, the rebirth of the rebirth of later generations, he directly stole the Google design ideas of later generations. In addition, his superb programming ability, the new Google is much more complete than the Google in the previous life, and the speed of technology updates is also unexpected.
It took almost a year to complete the technical needs that should have been achieved in four or five years, which also made Google's development extremely rapid. It took only one year to make Yahoo feel heavy pressure.
What made David Ferro even more worried was that this time Google's financing consciously avoided Yahoo, making them unable to enter Google's board of directors, which made him feel even worse.
There are reasons why Yahoo has so decisively cancelled Google online search on the Yahoo portal.
"Search online in the technology field, are we really so different from each other?"
Although Yahoo was founded by Jerry Yang and David Ferro, Jerry Yang is better at decision-making, while David Ferro is the one who is really responsible for technology.
Faced with Google's pressure, Jerry Yang naturally could only ask David Ferro, wanting to know whether the direct gap between the two could be made up.
"I can only say that it is not very big, and their technology upgrade is very fast. We have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but it is still difficult to keep up. Often, once we upgrade, they will upgrade immediately and leave us behind again."
David Ferro shook his head in distress. He could not feel the despair without competing with the other party, and the more troublesome David Ferro had not spoken out yet.
That is, they have always been pirating each other's technical creativity, which is why they can continuously upgrade the system. If they were allowed to walk ahead of Google, they would have been surpassed long ago.
This makes their search engine even more vulnerable. Now they can pirate the version so unscrupulously while Google's large number of patent documents have not been approved.
Such behavior naturally has hidden dangers, that is, after Google's patent is released, their online search engine will almost be paralyzed unless it is made in a thorough technical improvement.
Of course, you can also continue to hold on until Google wins the lawsuit, Yahoo will lose some money and then replace it in technical terms.
Don’t think that the Western patent system has appeared for almost a few hundred years, and greedy businessmen will really abide by it honestly. Capital is the least bottom line. As long as the interests are sufficient, you dare to overcome the death penalty. What else Yahoo dares not do?
Microsoft, led by the world's richest man Bill Gates, has had many infringements during its development, but every time it relies on patent lawsuits to scramble back and forth, drag the opponent to bankruptcy, and then resign and lose money and acquire the opponent, which eliminates the opponent and gets the patent they need.
If they had no choice, Yahoo would also learn from Microsoft to do it, but now Google is mature, leaving them with no chance of such a thing.
"There is no need to be so pessimistic. We still have a chance. Yahoo is aimed at the all-round Internet of Things. Its functions are much stronger and more complete than a Google online search function, so we still have a chance."
Zhiyuan Yang frowned. Although he knew that Yahoo's online search was different from Google, he did not expect that it would be so big that his old friend was suppressed and completely lost the courage to compete.
However, he also knew that nothing was useful to say at this time. Since search engines are not as good as Google, then work hard to develop in other aspects.
The Yahoo portal is designed to connect everything, allowing all Yahoo users to easily find the website content they need on their portal.
This is what they imagined and are also the place they have been working hard. To this day, almost all Internet users have the first time they open to their Yahoo portal when they log in to their browser. This is their success.
With so many functions of the website, online search function is weaker, which is not so fatal in Yang Zhiyuan's opinion.
After thinking about it, Jerry Yang said to David Ferro: "I believe I should learn Google early and start to expand the big cake of the international market, otherwise I will be left far behind by Google."
"Well, I understand that there are no technical problems, and you can start anytime. I originally wanted to do a good job in the Internet of Things in the United States, but now it seems that it is indeed conservative."
David Ferro nodded and agreed with Jerry Yang's statement. This competition was because Google first entered the international market, which allowed Google to quickly make up for the losses in data. Otherwise, in the domestic market in the United States alone, Google might still be in a deep pool of resistance. After all, data traffic is the lifeblood of Internet companies.
However, neither Jerry Yang nor David Ferro realized that compared to users who search the URL they need on their portal website, Google's online search will be much more convenient than them.
As time goes by, the gap will become more and more obvious. This is Yahoo's fatal injury. It's just that standing among the waves of the times, the two of them cannot see through this. Instead, they are still fantasizing about their portal thriving.
Of course, this does not mean that Google is already in a winning position. Compared with Yahoo, Google has less user stickiness and cannot even calculate the number of users used. It can only look at the number of searches per day to estimate its own number of users.
This is also the disadvantage of a single online search engine. In the future, Baidu in China will slowly fall from a first-tier Internet company and can only lie on its own skeleton and wait for death.
So if Kaos wants to grow Google, instead of keeping his capital, he will inevitably make Google diversified, but there is also Yahoo, a barrier ahead.
For a time, the two companies felt a little in love and kill each other.
