Rebirth, you call this an honest man?

Although Wang Heng knew that QR codes were important, he did not pay too much attention to them. This thing did not have many patents and was produced through secondary processing.

Just like the smartphone design patent and operation patent he applied for, it will block others for a while at most, and then the patent will be compulsory.

Just like Wang Heng used patents to embarrass Apple phones, in the end Apple phones were released a few months later than Honor phones.

After a year's delay, the mobile phone was simultaneously launched in July.

After receiving the news, Wang Heng quickly organized the second Honor Smartphone Software Alliance meeting to prepare to prevent Apple mobile phones from invading the country again. This time, he mainly advocated that domestic software should not be Apple app software...

While Wang Heng was discussing how to deal with Apple, the headquarters of Google Group in North America were also meeting to discuss how to deal with him.

After the system came out, Wang Heng abandoned Android directly. They were the most angry.

At this moment, a routine core-level executive meeting is taking place within the Google Group. Google's executive chairman, Google's current CEO, founders Page, Sergey and other big guys are all gathered together.

Google CEO said, "As long as you use a computer to surf the Internet, you cannot avoid using a desktop browser. In fact, a desktop browser is indispensable."

“However, I don’t want to be alarmist. The urgent thing before us now is that Google is quietly hiding a huge crisis.

Honor mobile phones owned by Hengda Group are already in a monopoly position in China. They originally installed the Android system. After we found out that they blocked the Google system, they suddenly abandoned the Android system and used the Huawei system.

Moreover, the pre-installed software of Honor mobile phones and Tencent's browser have become more and more powerful. In China, they not only dominate the wireless side, but also the PC side is gradually eroding the status of other browsers. In today's China's entire desktop browsing

In the field of browsers, Tencent’s browsers have basically become the world. Without control, I’m afraid they will not be able to satisfy the Chinese market.”

This senior executive from Indu revealed his deep concern without concealing it, but other senior executives did not speak.

After a while, the Google staff put the ppt he had prepared on the main screen dedicated to the meeting.

"This is a detailed development history of the browser that I compiled over the past few years. The browser officially began public beta testing in 2003 and was open for download in China. At this time, it was already in a dominant position in China."

Page asked: "2003?"

Seeing the question mark on his face, Google CEO felt speechless: Page, you were the one who suggested leaving the Chinese market alone, and why did you forget so quickly?

Google CEO put away his thoughts, nodded and said: "Yes, you must have guessed that it is only 5 years from 2003 to now.

It’s only been a year since the Honor phone came out in 2007. Wang Heng used the Honor phone to open the door to the mobile Internet. The most fortunate thing about Tencent’s Sogou browser is that it caught up with the mobile Internet trend and became the first

One who is devoted to it.”

The Google CEO went on to say, “Sogou became the browser that comes with Honor smartphones. Before the Honor phone was released in 2007, its market share was less than 2%.

But after entering the Honor mobile phone, Sogou Browser developed rapidly in just one year. In just one year, it replaced Baidu and became the ruler of China Search. Do you know what the current market share of Sogou Browser is?"

Page asked subconsciously: "How much?"

"According to the latest research data from market research institutions, in China's PC Internet + mobile Internet desktop browser market in 2008, Sogou browser accounted for 58.69%, close to 60%, and is about to dominate desktop browsers."

Everyone looked at the statistics on the ppt on the main screen of the conference, and they were horrified at the market share of 58.69%.

This means that Sogou Browser is used by more than half of the people in China, and is still soaring at a double-digit growth rate.

This 58.69% is only a figure that is different from 90% of the mobile Internet. I am afraid that the PC side is less than 20%. There is still too much room for growth.

Currently, in China’s browser rankings, apart from Sogou Browser, Baidu ranks second, and Google Chrome ranks third, with a current market share of 10.9%.

Google entered the Chinese market around April 2006, which was a little late and missed the opportunity. However, in the mobile Internet era, they did catch up, but unfortunately they couldn't spare the money.

Except for these three major browsers, the rest have a market share of less than 5% and are classified as "other"

The baton in Google CEO's hand pointed at the projected ppt and continued,

"Yes, as you can see from these data, in the field of desktop browsers, China is currently in a situation where four parties are competing for hegemony, but unfortunately the protagonist is not our Google, but them."

He pointed to the next content of the ppt and continued: "Let's go back in time to 1998. The Internet Explorer browser was also Microsoft's default software. However, the Internet browser that was once prominent and dominated the Internet world, how many of them are there now?

market?"

How glorious was the Internet Explorer browser? Of course the big guys present knew that a fierce browser war broke out in the 1990s, which shocked the entire Internet world.

Microsoft used various disgraceful means to gain dominance, one of which was the bundling of Windows systems. As a result, Microsoft was involved in a monopoly lawsuit, and eventually Gates had to step down from the position of leader.

Microsoft, which lost Gates, missed two historical opportunities in cloud computing and the mobile Internet wave, which is also the root of the decline of Internet Explorer today.

Although today's Microsoft is also a giant-level multinational technology giant, if it seizes these two opportunities, today's Microsoft will be even more terrifying.

Google's CEO continued, "Since Internet Explorer defeated Netscape at the end of 1998, Internet Explorer has dominated the entire browser market. According to data, by April 2002, Internet Explorer's market share was as high as 96.6%. This is IE

The pinnacle of.”

"Later, due to its own problems and the impact of competitors, ie's market share declined significantly."

"Until this year, you all know what I am going to say. At this time, Hengda was the most shining star in the entire Internet in China. When everyone was focusing on the Honor phone to redefine smartphones, Sogou Browser was launched in a low-key manner. No one would

I thought it would be our biggest enemy in the Chinese market."

The executive chairman of Google who attended the meeting basically remained silent, because the past was too painful to look back on, and he knew that he had a great responsibility in this.

Before the launch of Honor mobile phone, Google was on the scene, but did not pay much attention to it. Honor mobile phone gave up pre-installation and focused on the PC side. This led to the rise of Sogou browser.

The executive chairman sighed lightly and said: "This is my fault. I have a great responsibility. If I had paid attention to Honor mobile phones at that time, Google Chrome would have entered the Chinese market by now, instead of spending huge resources now.

On the PC side, it only occupies 10.9% of the market, so I made Google miss the opportunity."

Page looked at the executive chairman who was quite remorseful and consoled him,

"At that time, Google's focus was on Android. It's not your fault, Eric, and no one can accurately follow the pulse of the times every time."

Schmidt immediately said: "But Wang Heng did it."

Page, who originally wanted to comfort others, couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, Wang Heng did it. It would be really stressful to compete with him. Fortunately, he

It has not entered the search market, nor has it entered the browser market."

Seeing that the topic had gone too far, Sergey quickly brought it back, looked at the CEO and said,

"Let's talk about the browser issue, Sogou Browser, how do you evaluate this product?"

After hearing this, the Google CEO was silent for a moment and replied, "Objectively speaking, Sogou Browser has done a good job and has added many humanized functional designs."

"The rise of Sogou is not only due to seizing the opportunities of the times. Without real strength, even if you seize the opportunities, they will slip away from your hands."

Page joked: "Fortunately, Honor mobile phones are only developed in China. If they were released globally, we at Google would be in real trouble."

The other participants also smiled lowly, but their laughter was a bit mixed.

Everyone knows why Honor phones are not released in China. This has nothing to do with the technology industry, so for them it is just a smile and a blessing.
