Chapter 1162 Oscar is here(1/2)
Chapter 1,162 Oscar is coming
On February 29, 2004, "Baidu-Yahoo" launched the "vertical search engine" service to provide all users with faster and more convenient search services, allowing all users to search for what they want in the first time.
required information.
At the first time, the market responded to the "vertical search engine" service. For the majority of "Baidu-Yahoo" users, the "personalized search engine" service launched by "Google" is not only coveted, but also its search capabilities
Convenience and accuracy make many "Baidu-Yahoo" users tempted. It's just that they are used to "Baidu-Yahoo" and are used to opening the computer and seeing the icons and interface of "Baidu-Yahoo", so it is not as easy to change the search
engine.
It can be said that people’s habitual inertia is quite terrifying, which is why many companies are willing to spend huge sums of money to “enclose” their territory.
Now, "Baidu-Yahoo" has finally launched this new "vertical search engine" service, which is undoubtedly good news for all "Baidu-Yahoo" users. Many users compare it with "Google"'s "personalized search"
Compared with the "Engine" service, apart from the difference in interface, the response time, search and search accuracy of the two are almost the same, but the performance in some details is slightly different.
After some experience, many users accepted this new "vertical search engine technology" at an unprecedented speed, and ranked it and "Google's" "Personalized Search Engine" as the best in today's search engine industry.
Two search engine technologies.
"google" headquarters.
"Segil, have you ever used the 'vertical search engine technology' of 'Baidu-Yahoo'?" Larry Page turned on the computer, called up the 'Baidu-Yahoo' page and asked his partner.
Sergey Brin shook his head. Although he had heard about the new "vertical search engine technology" launched by "Baidu-Yahoo", he had not used it yet.
"Sergeir, the 'vertical search engine technology' of 'Baidu-Yahoo' is almost the same as our 'personalized search engine technology', with just a few differences in details." Larry Page said.
Sergey Brin frowned. "Personalized search engine technology" is unique to "Google". How could "Baidu-Yahoo" own this technology?
"Larry, is there an insider in the company?" Sergey Brin had to wonder. You know, when "Baidu Portal" launched "Baidu Earth", it aroused suspicion within "Google", thinking whether there was an insider inside the company.
Damn it, otherwise why would "Baidu Earth" be so similar to "Google Earth"? Its concept is almost the same as that of "Google Earth" Earth. However, in order to avoid the same situation as when "ea" found out about "The Sims Online" ghosts, in the end
It caused panic, and "The Sims Online" has been stranded to this day, so "Google" took it absolutely coldly and decided to slowly check whether there is a mole.
Now, the insider of "Google Earth" has not been found out. "Baidu-Yahoo" has launched a "vertical search engine technology" that is similar to "google"'s "personalized search engine technology". If "google" didn't
Doubts are the only way to go. What's more, Lam Feng once held 5% of the shares of "Google" and was one of the executive directors. This is one of the reasons for "Google" to be suspicious.
Larry Page shook his head. He didn't know if there was an insider. After all, he was responsible for the team responsible for developing this "personalized search engine technology." Based on his understanding of its employees, he would definitely not do such a thing.
But now, the same phenomenon appears again and again, which makes him suspicious even if he doesn't doubt it. However, suspicion without evidence is just guessing, and guessing can't be accurate.
"Larry, what are you going to do now?" Sergey Brin said.
Larry Page shrugged helplessly. He just didn't know what to do, so he asked Sergey Brin.
In fact, Larry Page and Sergey Brin did not know that "Baidu Earth" was described by Lin Feng based on the memories of later generations and was developed by "Baidu Portal". Although Lin Feng only knew its general function, but in
In the IT world, sometimes the important thing is the idea, rather than the technology that turns the idea into reality. Therefore, it is normal for "Baidu Earth" and "Google Earth" to be similar. After all, its prototype is Lin Feng's "Google Earth".
"Earth" is described. It is indeed plagiarized, but "Google" cannot prove the plagiarism.
As for "vertical search engine technology", this is purely coincidental. In fact, whether it is "personalized search engine technology" or "vertical search engine technology", it is a trend in the development of search engines.
As the number of users increases, the amount of network information increases, and it is natural that users have higher requirements for specific searches. As a search engine company, it is not unusual to want to make achievements in this area. It can only be said that it is a
coincide.
Unfortunately, for "Google", one coincidence is acceptable, but two coincidences are unacceptable.
"Segil, should we temporarily re-examine the loyalty of our employees? Otherwise, if things continue like this, all our company's information will be known to 'Baidu-Yahoo', which is not a good thing." Larry Page said.
Sergey Brin naturally also wants to find out this "mole". However, now is not the best time. At the critical moment of competing for the market with "Baidu-Yahoo", it is better to catch the mole. If caught, it will be better.
If you can't catch someone, or even accuse them unjustly, it will be a blow to the entire "Google".
"Larry, I think it's better to wait a little longer. There is no rush to catch the mole. We don't know who it is now, or even whether there is a mole. If it is really just a coincidence, it will be a big blow to us.
Therefore, I suggest that we wait and see what happens. We first improve the search engine technology. As long as our technology is more advanced than 'Baidu-Yahoo', then it will be effortless to defeat 'Baidu-Yahoo'." Sergey Bou
Lin suggested.
"But the mole..." Larry Page said worriedly.
"In this way, you will be responsible for technology development, and I will catch the mole. We will work openly and covertly. If there is a mole, we will definitely catch him. As long as we catch him, we will have enough evidence to accuse Lin Feng of plagiarizing our company's products.
, not only can we ban it from permanently selling 'Baidu Earth', but we can also require it to compensate a huge amount of money. If we can compensate, then we don't need a third round of financing at all!" Sergey Brin said excitedly.
Larry Page nodded and decided to divide the two forces into two groups. One person is responsible for technology research and development, and the other person is responsible for catching the mole. Although in terms of technology development, without the support of Sergey Brin, there will definitely be technical improvements.
It will have a certain influence, but if you don’t catch the inner ghost, it will definitely be difficult to feel at ease.
When "Google" decided to divide its forces into two groups, one to seize technology and the other to catch insiders, Lin Feng appeared in Zagramento, California. Today is the first time that "Baidu Earth" has infringed on "Google Earth"
Three court dates. Although I know that this court session will still be boring and will definitely be the same as the previous two, after a long and lengthy discussion, I will still choose to continue the adjournment again and open the court again after a few days. After six or seven trials in this way,
, it’s almost over. Of course, “Google” can still appeal to the U.S. Federal Supreme Court, but then, I’m afraid it won’t be able to request a ban on the sales of “Baidu Earth” in the United States.
But since Lin Feng is in the United States, he still appears in court. Anyway, Lin Feng has nothing to do. Now "Baidu-Yahoo" and "Google" are competing on a technical level. I can't help technically, so I might as well just sit in and watch.
This shows that your company attaches great importance to this trial.
As Lin Feng guessed, the third trial ended in a boring way again. After the previous two boring trials, the status of the observers present for the third time has obviously declined, and is no longer like the previous two times.
, businessmen gathered, all of them super rich.
"Lin, why do you always attend such a boring court hearing? Just send someone here casually. It won't be over for a while anyway. These judges are not going to discuss it again. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is Google's trick.
"Boss, these judges are just pretending to be stupid, so why do you go crazy with them?" Ellison said carelessly in the courtroom after the trial.
Lin Feng was speechless at Ellison's careless behavior. Indeed, this trial is very boring, and these judges are idiots, but you shouldn't say it in court, especially when the judge and jury are still in the court.
Not all of them have left yet. Now that he heard Ellison's words, more than a dozen glances shot over him. Lin Feng believed that if looks could kill, Ellison would have died thousands of times.
Of course, it was none of Lin Feng's business that Ellison was killed by someone's gaze, but if he was implicated and the jury finally decided that "Google" won, then he would have been wronged.
"Because our company is innocent and has been falsely accused, that's why I attend every time. I hope the law can give me justice! I believe American law is just!" Lin Feng had to pretend to be bitter and vengeful.
He had a deep expression, with anger and helplessness on his face.
At this time, after hearing Lin Feng's words, the dozens of angry eyes immediately retracted and nodded. When they looked at Lin Feng again, they were already full of gentleness and no longer full of anger like before. However,
When he glanced at Ellison next to Lin Feng, his eyes became sharp again. Lin Feng suspected that if someone accused Ellison at this time, the judges and juries would definitely find Ellison guilty immediately.
Phew~~~, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hey, how about it, Lin, I'm sorry, I'll give you a chance to show off!" After Ellison waited for the jury and the judge to leave the courtroom completely, he bumped into Lin Feng with his shoulder and said with a bad smile.
Lin Feng was stunned for a while. After being stunned, he finally realized that Ellison was deliberately acting just now! No wonder he was so stupid to choose to anger the judge and jury at this time. It turned out that he ultimately took the opportunity to influence the jury.
and the judge.
"Ellison, in this way, you have offended the jury and the judge." Lin Feng said a little worriedly.
"Haha, Lin, you still don't understand American law. You can choose any jury or judge. I'm not bragging. As long as you are willing to use your brain and spend money, you can definitely choose the jury that is most beneficial to you.
The law is just a game for the rich!" Ellison sneered. Although he was extremely disdainful of the law, his voice lowered instinctively.
Lin Feng thought for a while and nodded.
"By the way, Ellison, I owe you a favor for what happened just now. But what about the thing you promised me?" Lin Feng asked.
"What?" Ellison was stunned. He couldn't remember what he had promised Lin Feng.
"I want 24 more tickets for this year's Oscars ceremony. Didn't you promise me?" Lin Feng stretched out his hand.
During this Oscar ceremony, Lin Feng agreed to collect 108 autographed photos of movie stars at the "Second World Players Annual Meeting" so that players could attend the Oscar ceremony in person and observe the 76th Academy Awards.
However, Lin Feng only got 10 tickets from Spielberg, but he needed 34 tickets in total, and there were still 24 tickets left. Lin Feng originally entrusted them to Ellison.
"Uh..." Ellison was stunned when he heard this. Recently, all his attention has been on the acquisition of "Sun" and "Nvidia". Ellison really forgot about this casual promise.
Already.
"Ellison, you won't forget, right? If you forget, I will break my promise. This...how do you want me to explain to those lucky players?" Lin Feng saw Ellison's hesitation and became anxious on the spot.
If it is true that Lin Feng cannot get enough votes, then it will really be regarded as a breach of trust in the world. Although this is not a big deal, for Lin Feng today, this breach of trust is
It is enough for Lin Feng's competitors to take advantage of.
For example, "Google", such as "Intel", there are so many opponents who are eager to make a big splash in the online game market, and they are even more eager for Lin Feng to make mistakes. Once Lin Feng has something unexpected, they will have a chance.
Hearing what Lin Feng said, Ellison became a little anxious. Although he was called a madman, he was always trustworthy and kept his word. But this time he forgot that this was very important to Ellison.
Say, this is the first time.
"Don't worry, Lin, I will definitely get you 24 tickets!" Ellison immediately said, patting his chest.
Lin Feng looked at Ellison who left in a hurry and was speechless. He could only place all his hopes on Ellison. After all, Lin Feng was still a foreigner in the United States, and his power and connections were far inferior to Ellison.
Although this local snake is a bit crazy, he still has many friends.
Time passed minute by minute.
"Boss, Chen Xiaowei and I and the 27 lucky winners have arrived in Los Angeles. I have made arrangements for the 27 lucky winners to leave at 8:30 pm and head to the Kodak Theater." Wu Zhaopu said excitedly.
Wu Zhaopu is very excited to attend the Oscars live award ceremony. He is also a Hollywood fan and loves many Hollywood blockbusters. He is full of expectations for being able to witness many Hollywood superstars this time. As for his girlfriend Chen Xiaowei, she also hopes to use this opportunity to get to know more celebrities and pave the way for future company public relations or promotions. After all, in this world, star effect is still quite significant.
"Uh, Mr. Wu, I'm in Sacramento now. I'll fly to Los Angeles right away. Just wait for me in Los Angeles. We'll contact you when we get there." Lin Feng hung up the phone after saying that. From Wu Zhaopu's excited voice Among them, Lin Feng can hear his desire for the Academy Award. Even people like Wu Zhaopu are so eager to attend the Oscar Award at the live awards ceremony, so the desire of the 27 players goes without saying.
If Ellison cannot get 27 tickets by then, the complaints from these people will definitely be huge. When they get excited, they can say anything. If they are taken advantage of by others, it will be a big blow to them. blow.
