Just as Boss Jia watched his lithography machine gradually rise up, a group of people were having a meeting on the other side of the distant ocean, and the focus of the meeting was our Boss Jia.

Or, exactly, it is our boss Jia’s property.

"Dear directors, this is my report. To sum up, I think the three major entrances to the future Internet era are the three I just mentioned, namely browsers, search engines, and instant messaging!" A man with eyes, ordinary face, and seemed to be no different from a scholar, read his report at the board meeting indifferently.

But no one dared to underestimate this person in the world. Even when everyone saw him, they would scream, "Damn, the richest man in the world!"

That's right, this guy with half of the scholar wearing glasses is the world's richest man now. Bill Gates, who has a huge wealth of $51 billion, has dominated the world's richest man for three consecutive years.

But the question is, hasn’t our boss Jia’s wealth already exceeded the level of 100 billion US dollars?

After all, in a financial crisis, Boss Jia recorded nearly US$160 billion in accounts.

That's right, but the problem is that Forbes Magazine, which is responsible for editing this ranking, obviously doesn't know that our boss Jia has so much money.

Boss Jia obviously doesn't want Forbes to know about this, otherwise those international hot money that has lost money in Hong Kong and Hong Kong will definitely destroy our Boss Jia directly from the top.

So on the Forbes Magazine's ranking list, the noble Mr. Bill Gates is still the first place. As for our boss Jia, he ranks 56th on the world's richest man ranking list with a net worth of US$8 billion.

Well, because Boss Jia has been reluctant to go public, Daqian Group has no market value, and Forbes Magazine obviously cannot find more secret information. After going around, it means that it estimates a net worth of US$8 billion. It is not a big blame for the fact that the data is too outrageous.

Back to the topic, Bill Gates was attending the board meeting of Microsoft Group at this time. This can be said to be a very important board meeting in 1998. Chairman Bill Gates will report to all directors on the achievements of Microsoft Group in the third quarter of 1998, and some plans for future development directions.

At this meeting, Bill Gates published a report on "Three Major Entrances in the Internet Age" which is very famous in the later generations of this world.

In this report, Bill Gates first told all directors that the future era is not the computer era, but the Internet era. The Internet will gradually become the world's number one industry and have the greatest interests in the world. Whoever can control the Internet will be able to control the wealth of the entire future.

This begins by telling the directors the importance of the Internet to the future.

Afterwards, Bill Gates continued in the report, and in the Internet, the most important thing for a company is the entrance.

This entrance can be an entrance for netizens to obtain network information, or it can be an entrance for Internet companies to obtain network users.

If the Internet is compared to a house, then the entrance is the door of the house. Whoever can control the door is equivalent to controlling the entire house.

Afterwards, Bill Gates pointed out three main entrances, namely browsers, search engines, and instant messaging software.

The browser and search engine in front are not required to say Bill Gates, the directors present understand the importance of these two. After all, these two entrances have given birth to the two largest monster companies among the online concept stocks in the stock market.

Microsoft itself, and there are 51 searches.

"So far, 80% of the browsers in the world are our IE browser, or browsers with IE browser as the core, so in terms of browsers, we, Microsoft, have gained control. In the future, we only need to firmly consolidate this control. There is no need to worry about anything else!"

"Sorry, we failed. The most successful search engine in the world is 51 Search. At the same time, they also have more than 80% of the market control like our IE browser. Although we have also launched Bing Search, we have been online too late and the market has been occupied by 51 Search. Unless they make mistakes, it will be difficult for us to make another breakthrough!" Bill Gates said regretfully.

In fact, Bill Gates told a lie, that is, 51 Search's market share has reached more than 95%, rather than 80% as Bill Gates said.

However, Bill Gates' statement is more than 80%, which seems to be correct. However, when it comes to search engines, Bill Gates and the entire Microsoft are very depressed and regretful.

Microsoft's BING Search was launched in January 1998. Bill Gates once devoted himself to this search engine and even changed the default page of IE browser from blank to BING search. Once all netizens open IE browser, they will inevitably directly enter the home page of BING search.

This trick is very effective, allowing BING Search to directly occupy about 25% of the market share in the upper limit expenditure.

However, Microsoft soon discovered that the market share of BING search is declining. Many people directly changed back to 51 search after they found that their browser homepage was modified.

After discovering Microsoft's actions, 51 Search directly fired in the media, saying that if Microsoft does not stop this overbearing behavior, 51 Search will directly sue Microsoft for its monopoly in the court.

At this time, Microsoft was already very uncomfortable by the US antitrust investigation, so she didn't dare to play like this, so she hurriedly changed the homepage back to a blank page. As a result, BING was finished, and the total number of users on the entire network was less than 100,000.

If it weren't for being unable to hide its face, Microsoft would have simply removed the entire website from the Internet.

However, in this way, Microsoft's battle to capture the entrance of the search engine was undoubtedly a failure, and it was defeated very badly, which made Bill Gates lose the ** that continues to challenge.

So although browsers and search engines are very important, the directors did not have any expression after hearing this, because these two battlefields could no longer change the situation. Instead, they were very interested in the third entrance mentioned by Bill Gates.

Instant messaging software

This is a vocabulary that many directors on the scene have never heard of, and obviously, instant messaging software is also the top priority of Bill Gates' report.

"Instant messaging software is a communication software that allows users to communicate and contact freely anytime and anywhere on the Internet. This software controls the social portals of netizens. To a certain extent, the importance of this portal exceeds that of search engines. If we can put the entire portal in our arms and let all netizens chat through our software, then you can imagine how terrifying and huge benefits we can get from it?" All the chairman of Bill Gates said.

Yes, if they master instant messaging software, wouldn’t they be able to master the content of all netizens’ communications? In this way, the information of the whole world is under their control!
