So why not be public
Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong looked at each other deeply, unspeakably horrified. They never think that "Microsoft" will easily give up what they are fancy, especially this is related to the future of "Microsoft" for ten years. However, Lin Feng's words were so plausible that they were unable to refute them. Of course, the two also have a faint expectation in their hearts. After all, what "Microsoft" wants to acquire is "Baidu-Yahoo", which is their painstaking effort. But a successful person with ambitions and ideals is unwilling to sell the company he has worked so hard to create to others, especially unwillingly.
Of course, at present, if Lin Feng, Li Yanhong and Yang Zhiyuan can twist into a rope, then no one can shake their position in "Baidu-Yahoo". However, the threat of "Microsoft" is too great, and although the shares in the hands of Timothy cannot change the company's structure, it is enough to cause chaos in the company. If "Microsoft" is willing to give up, then they don't have to worry anymore.
"Don't worry, if'Microsoft' is smart enough, it will definitely choose to give up. Of course, I can only guarantee that'Microsoft' will give up temporarily. Whether we give up permanently depends on what we do in the future." Lin Feng patted lightly. Said the two shoulders.
Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong nodded ignorantly. They still don't understand why "Microsoft" gave up, but seeing Lin Feng's confident smile on his face, the two chose not to ask further. If this kind of annoying thing is left to Lin Feng, it is better for them to focus more on the company.
"Dong Lin, are those hackers contacted?" Yang Zhiyuan asked concerned.
Lin Feng nodded.
"Mr. Yang, you set up a small workstation in the open space outside the'Baidu-Yahoo' headquarters (formerly'Yahoo' headquarters) to ensure the smooth flow of optical fiber and electricity. There will be about 200-300 people tomorrow. The hackers will come here, and they will help solve the technical defects of the'vertical search engine' in the next three days!" Lin Feng said.
Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng really made a deal, and he could actually invite hundreds of hackers.
"Dong Lin, can they keep their promise not to spread the ‘vertical search engine’ technology outside?" Li Yanhong said worriedly.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Li, what do you think of the ‘personalized search engine’ technology of ‘google’?" Lin Feng asked.
"It is similar to our'vertical search engine' technology, but obviously their search engine technology does not have any flaws, so they can be ahead of us in this area of technology!" Li Yanhong said helplessly.
Lin Feng nodded.
"Then what do you think of the search engine technology of Microsoft's msn?" Lin Feng asked again.
Li Yanhong frowned and thought for a while.
"Dong Lin, although the search engine technology of ‘Microsoft’’s ‘msn’ is not as good as ‘google’, it is similar to ours, and the two sides are in between.” Li Yanhong thought for a while, and did not give any exaggerated answer.
Lin Feng shrugged after listening.
"Mr. Li, this is not the end. Since the two biggest competitors in the search engine market currently have technologies that are as good as or even surpassing ours, the leak of this'vertical search engine' technology will not leak. The most important thing? For those small search engine service providers, their customer base is far from ours. So under the same technical conditions, do we need to be afraid of them?" Lin Feng said lightly.
Li Yanhong was stunned when he heard it. Lin Feng's logical concept is really different, but after careful consideration, it is extremely correct. For companies that provide search engine services, the most important resource is not technology, but customer resources. For example, the previous "Yahoo", although it does not possess excellent search engine technology, still occupies the second place in the search engine market due to its huge customer resources.
Now, although the "Baidu-Yahoo" "vertical search engine" technology is leading the industry, it is not advanced for "google" and "Microsoft", so there is no need for "Baidu-Yahoo" to hide under its arms. Even if other small search engine companies get the "vertical search engine" technology, it is useless. In the face of the absolute customer base resources of "Baidu-Yahoo", this technology is not enough to threaten "Baidu-Yahoo".

On the contrary, after "Baidu-Yahoo" made the search engine technology public, it could not only complete the technical improvement of the "Baidu-Yahoo" search engine in the shortest time, but also win a good reputation in the market. This is a good thing with multiple birds.
"Okay, Lin Dong, it's up to you." Li Yanhong thought for a while and finally made a decision. Isn't it just a "vertical search engine" technology? Just make it public. He will develop a better search engine technology in the future.
Seeing Li Yanhong's firm expression, Lin Feng nodded secretly. Those who do technology must not rest on their laurels, but must have the spirit of continuous innovation. If you always eat with a technological innovation, then sooner or later he will be eliminated by the ever-changing society.
"By the way, Mr. Yang, you must ensure absolutely sufficient pizza, popcorn, cola, beer and latte when you receive it. I think you are also a technical background and know what these hackers like to eat. In short, you can prepare whatever they like, and the more the better. Also, don't have any staff to monitor them, just send a few waiters to clean up the pizza boxes and cola cans after eating." Lin Feng Said.
Yang Zhiyuan nodded. As for the nature of hackers, their professional computer technicians couldn't be more clear. After all, in a sense, they are also half a hacker.
"Okay, then you will go back and prepare now, and I will meet Timothy and others again." Lin Feng said with a smile with his eyes open.
Lin Feng wanted to know what Timothy would look like when he saw him again.
"Boss, will you go to see Timothy now?" Lin Chiling asked.
"It's not in a hurry, it's too early. It's daytime. It's best to wait for the effect at night." Lin Feng shook his head.
"Boss, are you waiting for'Microsoft' to announce its abandonment of its plan to acquire'Baidu-Yahoo'?" Lin Chiling thought for a while and asked.
Lin Feng nodded. "Microsoft" will definitely abandon its plan to acquire "Baidu-Yahoo" for the time being, but Lin Feng is not just waiting for this. Because Steve Ballmer will never willingly "obey" Lin Feng's words and abandon the plan to acquire "Baidu-Yahoo", but if he doesn't want to be played by Lin Feng and become a laughing stock, then "Microsoft" can only give up. But for the sake of a breath, Steve Ballmer will never compromise easily and make Lin Feng feel better. Therefore, if Lin Feng didn't guess wrong, Steve Ballmer will definitely continue to maintain a delicate contact with Timothy and others, staying them, and causing trouble for himself.
Don't look at myself, Robin Li, and Yang Zhiyuan, who together have more than half of the shares, but there are still hidden dangers. Lin Feng himself obtained 5% of the shares by virtue of the lifetime use rights of "cloud computing", plus 46% of the shares of "Baidu Portal", and already owns 51% of the shares, but this 51% of shares is not absolutely solid. Once the "Baidu-Yahoo" is finally listed, Robin Li and many shareholders will definitely release a large amount of their shares in order to arbitrage cash. In that way, Lin Feng and others have absolutely no 51% of the shares in their hands. At that time, "Microsoft" can completely take a counterattack and use absolutely huge funds to swallow "Baidu-Yahoo". Even if Lin Feng and others adopt the "Poison Pill Plan" at that time, they will not be able to stop the "Microsoft" ambitions.
Therefore, Steve Ballmer will definitely hang Timothy and others temporarily, waiting for good opportunities. And will never take the initiative to tell Timothy and others that "Microsoft" temporarily abandoned the acquisition, allowing Timothy and others to completely invest in Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng was also prepared for this. Otherwise, he would not make an appointment for Steve Ballmer to drink coffee at the "Starbucks" coffee shop. You must know that "Starbucks" coffee shops are frequently visited by elites, especially in Seattle, where there are many IT people.
Lin Feng believes that with his current status and photogenicity, these IT people will definitely recognize themselves. As for Steve Ballmer, for the IT people, it is even more thrilling and admired for a long time. Wouldn't these people be surprised to see themselves and Steve Ballmer having a coffee appointment together at this juncture? Now that camera phones are rampant in the United States, Lin Feng believes that many IT people will take these photos and then put them online.
As long as the photo of myself drinking coffee with Steve Ballmer goes online, even if Steve Ballmer doesn't say anything, it will be the end of the world for Timothy and others. They would think that "Microsoft" reached an agreement with themselves, and with their own clever tongues, and the absolute support of Yang Zhiyuan and Li Yanhong, it would be difficult for Timothy and others not to sell the stock.
The fact is as Lin Feng expected.
After Steve Ballmer returned to "Microsoft", he held an emergency meeting again to discuss Lin Feng, Yang Zhiyuan, and Li Yanhong only acting. Everyone unanimously decided to wait and see the changes for the time being, and stop mixing them up. Otherwise, if "Microsoft" was really played by Lin Feng, it would be pretty good. Everyone can imagine how the global media would comment on this incident at that time. In particular, the lunatic Ellison will definitely celebrate, or maybe Ellison will set off firecrackers in front of the headquarter "Microsoft" on the runway to celebrate. After all, this lunatic can do everything.
Thinking of Ellison's smug face, everyone shuddered. "Microsoft" provokes, no, or unfortunately encounters such a lunatic, it is really speechless.
"Then decide like this! For the time being, wait and see what happens!" Steve Ballmer said.
Everyone nodded.
At this time, while sitting on his special plane in Lin Feng, while driving in the sky, the news that Lin Feng and Steve Ballmer were drinking coffee at the "Starbucks" coffee shop in Seattle in the afternoon has been posted on the Internet. The main dissemination is not Lin Feng’s "youtube", nor "google", or "Baidu-Yahoo", but "facebook".
