Chapter 1136: gle shot

"Ron, you're so unkind, you're treating us like an advertising event!" the show host scolded with a smile on his face.

Originally, he invited Ron to come because he hoped to use his status as a lawyer to analyze the final trend of the "Baidu Earth" infringement case, as well as the outcome of the battle between "Baidu Portal" and "gle", which is related to the number one search engine. In the end, Ron was lucky enough to turn the entire talk show into an advertisement for "Baidu Earth", which is really annoying. If it weren't for the sake of friendship with Ron for many years, the host would have sent Ron away long ago.

"Hehe, well, I know it's a bit unkind this time, and I'll make it up to you next time. Are you still afraid that I didn't give you some serious information!" Ron was not afraid. Now Ron Law Firm is the most famous law firm in the United States, and all the cases it accepts are big cases that are very likely to attract public attention. At that time, I have quite a lot of bad news for these TV stations, so Ron is not afraid of being blocked by them because of non-cooperation once or twice.

have no choice! The host could only shake his head helplessly and send Ron away. Of course, naturally, he did not forget to tell Ron in words, and asked him to give himself a big surprise next time.

The same thing happened to other well-known TV stations in the United States. Ron spared no effort to promote "Baidu Earth" on the program every time, which made the hosts of major TV stations complain, but there was nothing he could do about Ron. Faced with this kind of person who can give them strong information, they have no choice but to play tricks once or twice, and they can only pay Ron a small deposit.

"Larry, this is not good!" Sergil Brin naturally also watched Ron's talk show, and after watching it, it was very bad.

With Ron's spare no efforts in publicity, many viewers in the United States now know the magical effect of "Baidu Earth" and know where to download "Baidu Earth". Of course, these downloading behaviors are all private behaviors of users. Those that are protected by law may even be sanctioned, and "Baidu Portal" cannot charge any fees. Otherwise, they will face sanctions under US law. However, it is undeniable that the market share of "Baidu Earth" is expanding. Although in the United States, there are still very few people who use "Baidu Portal" as a search engine, but this is by no means a good thing.

Larry Page was also helpless for a while. He didn't expect that Lin Feng would deal with "gle"'s legal blockade of "Baidu Earth" in this way. Lin Feng actually provides free downloads for American players directly on the official website. This download point is provided by a foreign server, and the U.S. courts cannot block it. At the same time, all these downloads are free acts of American users and cannot involve the "Baidu Portal" "On the body.

"Larry, what do we do now?" Sergey Breen had a headache.

"Forget it, don't worry about it. Anyway, 'Baidu Earth' can't officially enter the United States. After all, these downloads are a minority.

Most Americans don't download it. We just need to develop the 'gle Earth' as ​​soon as possible! "Larry Page said firmly.

In the United States, the people's awareness of anti-piracy is quite strong, or they obey the law quite well. They usually don't go beyond the law to seek some personal gain for themselves. Of course, there are also people who regard the law as nothing, but they are a minority.

Sergil Brin nodded, that's all he can do now. What's more, "Baidu Earth" cannot be sold, and American users will not be able to enjoy the services of the member version and p member version. This is undoubtedly a rather depressing thing for American users. As long as "gle Earth" can launch a better version by then, Sergey Brin will believe that the final choice of American users must be "gle".

Now "gle" has become a habit of the American people, and this habit is not so easy to change.

Lin Feng was naturally aware of this. Therefore, Lin Feng will not just sit back and watch this situation, and wait silently for the end of the court trial and the launch of "Gle Earth". This is by no means Lin Feng's style.

Just three days before the second trial, "Baidu Portal" announced that its "Baidu Earth" membership version and p membership version will allow all downloaded users to experience it for free for three months. It will be extended by three months.

This impact is not insignificant for "gle". Originally, Larry Page and Sergey Brin believed that "Baidu Earth" would not cause much trouble in the United States, and were banned from selling by the court during the trial. This was an extremely heavy blow. Although Ron spared no effort to publicize that "Baidu Portal" provides a global download link of "Baidu Earth", "gle" believes that at most a very small number of American users will choose to download "Baidu Earth". But now that the member version and p member version are launched for free for three months, it is quite a headache.

"Larry, the situation is not good! The number of users using 'Baidu Earth' has increased significantly. Once these users get used to the operating windows and habits of 'Baidu Earth', it may be very difficult for them to switch to a similar software." Sergey Breen worried.

There is a reason why in the business world it has always been said to enclose land, to enclose land. Because people have a kind of inertia, once they get used to something, they will not change it easily. To put it nicely, it means having feelings, but to put it bluntly, it's lazy to change. No matter which one, once a person accepts something, he will be extremely critical and skeptical when he accepts something of the same kind.

That's it for now. If users accept "Baidu Earth", it will be difficult for the future "gle Earth" to squeeze into this market.

But even though they knew this possibility, Larry Page and Sergey Brin had no way to solve it. It will take half a year for "gle Earth" to go on the market. This is already the limit of "gle", and it cannot be advanced any further. You know, the original "gle Earth" was planned to be launched next year after "gle" went on the market. Now under the pressure of "Baidu Portal", they have to suspend the development of other projects, and devote all their efforts to the research and development of "gle Earth", so as to ensure that it will be listed in advance, which has already made "gle" extremely painful. If you want to advance, then there is really nothing you can do. What's more, something that has been launched in a hurry will not be able to compete with "Baidu Earth", and it will be a laughing stock at that time.

"Sergil, now we can only wait and see." Larry Page said helplessly.

In the current market, if anyone seizes the opportunity, he will take the lead step by step. Now that "gle" is behind, we can only work hard secretly, hoping to make efforts in the future to catch up with "Baidu Portal". But fortunately, "gle" doesn't need to worry too much. After all, the most important service of search engine companies is still the search engine. chain analysis".

Of course, if only relying on this, Larry Page and Sergey Brin don't think it's safe.

"Sergell, it looks like we should roll out the 'l' early!" Larry Page said.

Sergeant Breen nodded. "Gle" must not allow "Baidu Portal" to grow slowly. They must control "Baidu Portal" in advance, otherwise it will be unimaginable in the future. At least, "gle" never wants to cultivate a strong enemy for himself in the future.

After the approval of the "gle" board of directors, "l" was officially launched to global "gle" users 2 days before the second trial.

The so-called "l" is gle's free webmail service. It comes with the built-in gle search technology and provides 1g of massive space to permanently keep important emails, files and pictures, and use search to find anything you need quickly and easily.

Of course, the 1g capacity is only temporary, and in the future "gle" will launch a "gle" with a larger capacity. Now is just the time to be first to the market!

It has to be said that the launch of "l" gave all investors who are optimistic about "gle" a shot in the arm. Since Lin Feng and Robin Li declared war on "gle" in China, investors of "gle" began to feel uneasy. Lin Feng's miracle was too stressful, and many investors really expressed that they were under a lot of pressure.

Although "gle" used the law to prohibit the sales of "Baidu Earth" in the United States, in fact, this is a helpless move in the eyes of many investors, which shows that "gle" is now unable to deal with "Baidu Earth". good news. Afterwards, Ron's high-profile publicity on major TV stations, as well as the three-month free trial period of "Baidu Earth", gave many investors a blow, especially "gle" did not have a good way to deal with it, which made many investors It feels like "gle" is a bit out of the question.

Just when investors' confidence was shaken, "gle" strongly launched "l", just like the rain after a long drought, and the timing was just right. It was launched when the confidence of many investors began to waver, which was enough to restore the market's confidence. gle" to play a role in safeguarding the future listing.

"l!"—Looking at the "l" launched by "gle", Lin Feng sighed again and again, it seems that "gle" finally started to make a move. This war has really begun to heat up!
