Chapter 649： [Google Anti-Blue Star Technology is like an anti-thief]

"According to the latest survey data from market maintenance agency Net-Marker-Share, in December 2016, Afarid browsers accounted for nearly 60% of the global desktop browser market, and will soon dominate desktop browsers."

Pichai's voice resounded in the conference room, and everyone looked at the market share of the statistics on the main screen of the conference PPT, making everyone envious and frightened.

This means that Afarid browser has 5981 users using Afarid browser for every 10,000 users worldwide, more than half the number, and it is still soaring at a double-digit growth rate.

In addition to the Afarid browser, the GoogleChre browser is ranked second, with a current market share of 13.9%. This is a project developed by Pichai. It was only officially launched in September 2008. It is almost late. Afarid browser for two years.

The third place is the market share of Microsoft's Edge browser, and the fourth place is the market share of Firefox.

Except for the four major browsers, the remaining market share is below 5%. In the "Other" category, the market share of the Afarid browser owned by the Bluestar Technology Group can be seen as a desktop browser The trend of new kings in the field of devices is becoming more and more brilliant.

However, before reaching 70% market share, it can't be regarded as a peace of mind. The Chre browser in the back still has a chance. In the field of desktop browsers, it is still filled with smoke and the aftermath. The Afarid browser that has already led has not yet Absolute grasp can highlight the encirclement and realize the feat of the new king ascending the throne.

Pichai glanced at the PPT content and looked at the silent managers, saying: "Yes, as you see these data, in the field of desktop browsers, it is currently in a situation of Quartet hegemony, but unfortunately Yes, the bright character is not our Chre, but Afarid."

Speaking of the next content of the PPT, continue: "Let’s go back to 1998, before the Afarid browser achieved today’s leading position, it was also a member of many "Dragon Warriors", and this dragon is Microsoft once had a prominent IE browser that dominated the Internet world."

How brilliant was Internet Explorer? The bigwigs present certainly knew that a fierce browser war broke out in the 1990s, shaking the entire Internet community.

Microsoft used various disgraceful means to gain dominance, one of which was the bundling of the Windows system, which led to Microsoft's monopoly lawsuits, which eventually caused Gates to retreat from the position of the head.

And Microsoft, which lost Gates, has missed two historical opportunities of cloud computing and mobile Internet tide, which is also the source of the decline of IE.

Although today's Microsoft is also a giant multinational technology giant, if these two opportunities are seized, today's Microsoft must be a trillion-dollar Internet technology giant, rather than letting Bluestar Technology Group in Internet technology is the leader.

Pichai continued: "From the defeat of Netscape browser at the end of 1998, IE began to dominate the entire browser market. According to data from OneStat.c, by April 2002, IE's market share was as high as 96.6%. This is the pinnacle of IE."

Speaking of which, Pichai looked away from the conference screen, saying: "Later, IE's market share declined significantly under its own problems and the impact of competitors such as Firefox. Firefox began to erode in the next four years. IE's market share once exceeded 15% to 20%. At that time, everyone thought that Firefox was the dragon slayer, but IE's market share was still nearly 80%. Although it continued to decline, it was still the master."

"Until another two years passed in 2006, everyone knew what I was going to say. At this time, Bluestar Technology was the most shining new star in the entire Internet. Star Technology went public and created the largest IPO record in history. When everyone focused on Bluestar Technology IPO and the Azure mobile phone that was born to redefine smartphones, the Afarid browser was launched in a low-key manner, and no one would think of it. Is the real enemy of IE."

Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of the meeting, basically said nothing, because he couldn't look back, he knew he had a great responsibility in it.

Also in the year when Afarid was launched, at the time of Google, the development of the browser was opposed by Schmidt, and it was the two founders of Page that proposed the development of the browser.

But it was Schmidt who was in charge of the CEO. The reason for opposition was that Google should concentrate on competing with Bluestar Technology in the field of streaming video. At that time, the BV video website was launched and quickly became popular. Various princes joined it. Google is no exception.

The two founders relied heavily on this big brother, and it is no exaggeration to say that without Schmidt, there would be no Google today, plus there was no suitable project leader at that time, and indeed there was limited energy, so she temporarily put aside .

Until 2008, Page re-raised this matter to the conference table to talk about. At that time, Azure mobile phones have become popular all over the world, the mobile Internet wave is breaking the waves, and Afarid's market share has reached a considerable growth rate. .

Once again on the agenda, Schmidt finally listened to the suggestions of the two founders, and the project leader responsible for the development of the Chre browser is now Google CEO Sandal Pichai.

The attending Eric Schmidt sighed and said, "This is my fault. I have a great responsibility. If I agreed at that time, the Chre browser project will be developed in parallel with Afarid, and the result is late. It took only two years to launch the project, and the Afarid browser has started the pace of full expansion with the mobile Internet trend, which is the window of opportunity for me to let Chre miss."

Page looked at the self-blaming executive chairman and comforted: "At that time Google's focus was to compete with Bluestar Technology in streaming video. Although the final result was that BV video won, this is not your fault. Rick, no one can step on the pulse of the times precisely."

Schmidt said immediately: "But Luo Sheng did it."

Paige, who wanted to comfort people, could not help but sigh and smiled bitterly: "Yeah, Luo Sheng did it... competing with this terrible opponent is indeed very stressful."

Sergey Brin immediately came back to the topic and looked at Pichai, saying: "Let's talk about the browser problem, Afarid browser, how do you evaluate this product?"

Hearing that, Sandal Pichai was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Objectively speaking, standing on the present perspective, Afarid can almost be said to redefine the browser, and many of the current web browsers are humanized. Almost all of the functional design comes from Afarid, which has attracted peers to learn from imitation, and Chre is no exception."

"For example, the tab bar has a top function. The search bar and the address bar are combined into one. The highly simple interface design. The developer-oriented extension store. Bookmarks can be synchronized in the cloud through social or search engine accounts... This series The emergence of features has epoch-making improved people’s web browsing experience.

"Afarid can rise not only to grasp the window of opportunity of the times, but to seize the opportunity without real strength, it will slip away from its hands. I think its outstanding innovation ability is more important. While maintaining rapid iterative development, Afarid has also designed a more effective development model, which divides Afarid into stable version and development board. The former is used to satisfy ordinary users, and the latter is convenient for developers to update and test functions to meet different types of users. demand."

Larry Page, who attended the meeting, joked: "Fortunately, Google was born early and completed the ecosystem construction in advance, otherwise the global search engine market will also be controlled by Luo Sheng..."

The other participants smiled lowly, but they laughed a bit mixed.

The strong development and innovation ability of Bluestar Technology Group is recognized by the global science and technology community. It is enviable and makes his opponent feel pressured even when he breathes. The big brothers at the meeting did not deny the statement of Paige.

Since Google withdrew from the Greater China market, they regretted it in the past few years and wanted to return to the Greater China market and made a lot of preparations.

But as of today, Google has abandoned the Chinese search engine market internally, and even has no idea.

Because the cloud search under the Bluestar Technology Group is already the absolute overlord of the Chinese search engine, the ecosystem has been built, and the technology has risen to be superior to Google search. As for the whiteness has now been reduced to the "other" category, the market value Has fallen to 3 billion US dollars.

Today, Google has regarded Bluestar Technology as the number one enemy to guard against. Its every move will make Google and its parent company's top management extremely sensitive. The meeting at this moment is the best proof.

Don’t look at the cloud search now looking like the world’s search engine market, but Google anti-cloud song is just like the anti-thief. It is really 360-degree staring at any action of cloud search, including blue. The movement of Star Technology, but any changes to the sea will be immediately transmitted to the high-level ears of Google and its parent company.

Judging from the current industry structure, the only company that can qualify for the Alphabet Group in the global search engine market is Bluestar Technology Group.

You can’t guard against it. The search engine market is the basic disk of Alphabet and the core territory of the Kingdom. Just like Blue Star Technology’s blue space, it can’t be tolerated by others.

Sandal Pichai continued to analyze: "If viewed from the perspective of the underlying technology, Afarid, as a commercial browser, is itself a platform based on the so-called Afaridium open source browser kernel, including Microsoft's Edge browser, as well as The QQ browser, Sogou browser, and 360 browser in Huaguo are all based on this kernel."

Speaking of which, Pichai took a deep breath and added: "From this perspective, the global market share of desktop browsers based on this core has exceeded 70%, which is even worse. What’s more, the core itself is developed by Bluestar Technology and is open source to the world. I think you know what this means."

The big guys at the meeting certainly understand what this means Page murmured: "It means that the underlying technology and standards of the entire human desktop browser have actually been adopted by a company from China. Is dominated by a commercial company, and this company is our number one competitor-Bluestar Technology Group."

Pichai said: "Not only that, because the desktop browser is closely related to the web page, in fact, I am afraid that in the future, the technical development direction of the entire web page will have to be subject to the choice of Bluestar technology and standards. In a sense, Bluestar Technology will dominate the future of the web. This is a great honor for Bluestar Technology, and also an important support for its strong technical strength and influence, but it is for us and other Internet. For the company, depending on Luo Sheng's face, this is definitely not a good thing, and no one wants to see this happen."

...

(Ps: Inside is Bluestar Technology, which can be said to be the projection of Google’s Chre browser in reality. It has turned over IE. The current market share has been 70%, which satisfies the absolute monopoly. The former Dragon Warrior Nowadays, it also turns into a dragon. Whether it is an auspicious dragon or a evil dragon basically depends on Google’s conscience. Whether or not it adheres to the mission of not doing evil. At present, it is mostly another evil dragon.)
