1991 Starting from the core

Because Xinghai is very independent, it was already relatively late when Su Yuanshan learned that Chen Haoming had gone too far and alerted several software giants - this also prompted him to personally visit Silicon Valley. One of the reasons.

In fact, he will only show his face in this exhibition, leaving the main exhibition tasks to Qin Weimin and Wang Rui.

"Now IBM, SUN, Microsoft... have launched corresponding Internet software products."

Carly hugged her shoulders, glanced sideways at Su Yuanshan, thought for a moment and said, "We have reason to believe that they have an unspoken agreement."

Su Yuanshan nodded slightly.

Xinghai currently designs three main software at the bottom of the Internet. The first is naturally the browser OCSS browser, followed by the website development software Easy web, and finally Andu Chencang, the improved CC design language.

Browsers, website development, and page tools, these three areas are actually almost monopolized. But Chen Haoming was very ambitious. He directly established a database project specifically for Internet sites.

In this way, it's a bit like poking a hornet's nest, or... in fact, it has already poked a hornet's nest, and this is just the last stick.

With the successful conclusion of the International World Wide Web Conference, even the blindest person can see that the Internet is the future trend, and the World Wide Web is the main manifestation of the Internet.

And when everyone looks back, Xinghai has actually formed a trinity combination architecture, and even needs to develop databases-once the layout is completed, this is an area that cannot be penetrated by needles or water.

So the big guys in Silicon Valley started to take action. Among them, Microsoft began to get involved in the in-depth development of commercial website construction systems and HTMl language. IBM acquired a small team to develop browsers. And SUN, I don’t know where to fish it out. They have acquired their Oak language and plan to develop an extension language for designing page elements based on the Oak language.

Three giants were offended at once, including giants including Microsoft.

Not to mention the other small studios that also want to get involved in this field - scrambling for someone to invest in them.

This was really something Su Yuanshan didn't expect.

However, according to what Carly said, Chen Haoming is now very ambitious and has the momentum to succeed even if tens of thousands of people come to him.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Su Yuanshan smiled.

Carly also smiled, she did not have half superstitious trust in Su Yuanshan like others. But she still admired Su Yuanshan's vision. Since Su Yuanshan said he wasn't afraid, he shouldn't really be afraid at all.

At the very least, the market is still on the Xinghai side.

But Carly also knows that the current market is far behind the expected Internet market. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. It is very likely that what you have achieved in a year or two by working hard to acquire customers and expand the market will be surpassed by others in just one month.

In Su Yuanshan's words, it is really exciting to play on the Internet during the period of rapid development.

…

After arriving in Silicon Valley and briefly meeting everyone, Su Yuanshan went to the small villa with everyone.

Qin Weimin and Wang Rui did not attend the meeting, but went to drink with Tang Wenjie and their three brothers.

Chen Haoming spent ten minutes explaining the situation, and then said excitedly: "I have contacted my senior brother, and he promised to help me with the database. As long as he takes action, we will definitely be fine!"

The senior brother mentioned by Chen Haoming is naturally Xi Xiaoding, who is currently in charge of the Yuanxin Computer Mathematics Research Center. After continuous expansion of enrollment, Xi Xiaoding already has more than 70 people under his command, including three with Ph.D.s in the Department of Mathematics alone, and almost all of the other master's degrees are outstanding...

As a result, it is certainly a bit too much to say that the smartest minds in the country are gathered here, but the Computer Mathematics Research Center of Yuanxin is indeed the best place for those mathematical talents who focus on related research.

At the same time, Xi Xiaoding's qualifications as a full professor and doctoral supervisor are also on the schedule - as soon as Xi Xiaoding's YXLAB comes out and passes the acceptance test, it should be available immediately.

With such a senior leader from NB's research center as his senior, Chen Haoming is certainly confident.

"Well, it's technically settled. I also believe in Senior Brother Xi, who already has a very high level of database." Su Yuanshan said with a smile: "But Senior Brother Haoming, as far as the market is concerned... it is not appropriate for us to confront the three companies head-on. "

Chen Haoming nodded. He had been thinking about this issue before: "Yes, so I plan to make the website building tool compatible with other databases. In this way, Microsoft will not be a concern."

"But Microsoft is obviously not compatible with our database." Su Yuanshan nodded on the table: "You have to know that there is actually a gap between our current software development capabilities and Microsoft's. Similarly, in terms of software channels, we are different from Microsoft. There’s more of a gap.”

Chen Haoming opened his mouth, and although he was extremely reluctant, he still admitted the result.

What Su Yuanshan said is true.

The programmers here at Xinghai were basically left by Xi Xiaoding, and to put it bluntly... Xi Xiaoding only came up with the CRM software with a "playing" mentality at the beginning, so the quality of the programmers recruited at that time was actually not high.

“Also, our lead time in developing the website building tool was not long, only about half a year—right?”

Chen Haoming nodded.

Su Yuanshan continued: "Brother, you see, this half-year lead is not enough for us to occupy a large market. Some things are first-mover advantages, and some things... are late-mover advantages."

"What should we do?" Yang Yiwen frowned.

"I'll go talk to Mr. Gates and discuss cooperation by the way." Su Yuanshan smiled and shook his head: "The main reason is that the current sales channels rely too much on traditional software sellers and machine vendors. Otherwise, I I am really confident that we can compete with all three of them in Internet products at the same time.”

As soon as these words came out, Carly smiled and Chen Haoming's eyes lit up.

As for Yang Yiwen, she was smiling and her eyes were bright - she believed and supported Su Yuanshan unconditionally.

"Determine a preliminary strategy, ignore IBM, win over Microsoft, and fight against SUN."

"Microsoft cannot be our enemy. And judging from their choice of direction, it seems that they do not regard Xinghai as a life and death enemy. It is a bit like normal business competition - you can't allow others to enter this field, right? Su Yuanshan squinted and analyzed slowly: "If they really want to become enemies, they will choose to develop a browser."

Yang Yiwen asked: "Why?"

"It's very simple, because the browser is a client software. In a sense, it can be bundled into their operating system - think about it, once bundled in, who can fight with it?"

Carly was startled here and immediately shook her head: "It is impossible for Microsoft to do this. This is an absolute abuse of market position and will be investigated by antitrust agencies."

"hey-hey……"

Su Yuanshan said in his heart that you underestimate Mr. Gates too much.
