Is Microsoft direct “The War of the Red Cliff” of Internet
Recently I enjoyed “Three Kingdoms” of Mr. Zhongtian Yi, I feel that program stimulates me greatly. After several times’ enjoyment, I have no tiring but I feel it is more and more meaningful and tasteful, especially the part of “The War of the Red Cliff”, that’s one of the most splendid parts.
In the part of “The War of the Red Cliff”, there is one important union which is made up by Sun and Liu. If not, the first result is that there won’t be the situation of “Three Kingdoms”, the second result is that it is possible for Cao Cao to beat Sun and Liu in Red Cliff.
What’s more interesting is that the story of “Three Kingdoms”, may be played by Microsoft and Yahoo. As a matter of fact, today Microsoft unites Yahoo to fight with Google. That’s just the same as what happened in “Three Kingdoms”. There are so many same points between them. But there are still some differences.
The motivation of union
The motivation of “Sun-Liu” union is to fight against Cao. We know both Sun and Liu are weaker than Cao so they have to combine. If not , both of them will be killed off by Cao.
How about Microsoft and Yahoo? At that time, Bei Liu has no choice. This time Microsoft brought forward the idea of union intimately, we can see Yahoo is not so weak to go on with its life. On the other hand, Microsoft is not the same as Quan Sun. The strategy Microsoft takes up is “best defence is offence”. That’s the second difference.
The form of union
The union of Sun and Liu is just for simply cooperation. That’s to say after the defence they will say goodbye to each other. But how about the union of Microsoft and Yahoo, I think it is more significant. The integration is more important. Microsoft has to pay at least 44.6 billion dollars.
The objective of the union is to perfect their product line. Yahoo is excellent in Internet operation and Microsoft is outstanding in the field of Software. They have complementarity for each other. But that’s the first step to purchase Yahoo, there will be a long proceed for the integration. That’s the greatest difference.
The result of union
The key problem is the result of union? The union of Sun and Liu lead prodigious breakthrough in troops and brainpower. That’s the important reason why Cao was defeated in Red Cliff. And Microsoft unites Yahoo, the product line and service will be greatly enriched. But can they beat Google?
So the union is not so useful, both of them are falling behind Google at a large scale. It is almost impossible for Microsoft to catch up with Google by purchasing. No matter what field, including brand, users, technology, market share, Microsoft can’t obtain them by union.
So, I have doubt about the event of Microsoft’s purchasing. I just discuss it from the point of “Three Kingdoms”. If no proper, please forgive me.
