This news immediately attracted the attention of Microsoft and the US capital market.
Bill Gates frowned and said, "Baidu is holding a press conference at this time, it seems they are definitely targeting us. It seems Baidu has felt threatened by Bing and is preparing to retaliate!"
"Haha, Bing has already received the support of the US authorities. Baidu will be defeated by us sooner or later. It's nothing to fear!" Microsoft President Edgar Bell said confidently.
Indeed, since Bing was launched, Baidu has faced numerous difficulties from the US government for all sorts of bizarre reasons.
Recently, Baidu has either been involved in lawsuits or on its way to being involved in lawsuits.
Baidu's CEO frequently travels to the United States to attend hearings, explaining whether Baidu has used the privacy of American users for personal gain, whether it has engaged in espionage, or betrayed the interests of the American people, etc.
Although the US has not yet won the case, it has achieved its goal: to damage Baidu's reputation and image due to the lawsuit.
Americans may mistakenly believe that Baidu is using their privacy for personal gain, and therefore are less willing to use Baidu.
Bill Gates thought about Edgar Bell's words carefully and realized that he had a point. With Baidu being targeted by the US authorities like this, how could it possibly compete with Bing?!
As they were talking, Edgar Bell had already grabbed a bottle of red wine, preparing to pour two glasses to celebrate Bing's good results.
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and the secretary walked in anxiously.
"Mr. Gates and Mr. Bell, things have gone terribly wrong! Baidu suddenly launched Baidu Maps, which immediately caused a global sensation. Netizens are all shocked, and Microsoft's stock price has plummeted..."
Bill Gates and Edgar Bell were both stunned when they heard this!
