Back To 1995 Chapter 111

   Chapter 111 Good Fighter

Since the establishment of Microsoft, the only one who can be compared with Bill Gates, or even suppress him, is Paul Allen, but Paul Allen has already slowly faded out of Microsoft's management due to physical reasons, even in name. It is still one of the six directors of Microsoft, but basically no one at Microsoft can control Bill Gates, not even the representative of Wall Street!

   At this moment, Bill Gates is always appearing in the media, the figure of the technician who always has a smile on his face, the eyes behind the glasses, just look at the product department manager coldly.

  The office was also silent. Several big figures of Microsoft, President Ballmer who manages Microsoft's daily operations, CTO Myhrvold, and head of the software department Elop.

   Well, the person who left Microsoft, became the president of Nokia, then sold the Nokia mobile phone brand to Microsoft, and finally returned to Microsoft as the president, does it feel familiar...

In addition to Ballmer, Myhrvold, and Elop, several of Microsoft's most important figures, chief financial officer Greg Murphy, head of public relations Todd and others were all present. These people constitute the core of the Microsoft empire. rights layer.

   The product manager who was watched by Bill Gates didn't dare to speak out at this time. He was a good player in technology, but he was far from being popular.

   At this moment, the more powerful he described Netscape, wouldn't it set off Microsoft's mistake, and then finally, it can't be blamed on Bill Gates, the emperor of the Microsoft empire?

  No matter how the media reports, Bill Gates doesn't care much, but he can't let Microsoft's internals be affected by this, otherwise, will he have to commit his own crimes and leave Microsoft? !

   Looking at the Netscape browser in front of the screen again, Bill Gates has to admit that technically, Netscape's browser is really powerful.

   "What does Netscape want to do?"

  Bill Gates raised his head and looked at the executives in the office. Finally, his eyes fell on Myhrvold, who was in charge of technology. "Netscape really wants to replace Microsoft?!"

  Although Bill Gates said this in a joking tone, no one laughed at this time.

  Myhrvold also became very cautious. He didn't think Netscape was too difficult, but now when he heard about Netscape's next browser function, Myhrvold also became cautious.

   "If the news is true, the next-generation version of Netscape really supports plug-ins, and can support third-party software companies to develop software for Netscape in java, that means..."

   In the office at this moment, even people who don't understand technology know what Myhrvold wants to say, not to mention that they are all the top people in the technology industry.

   "Netscape really wants to be the Microsoft of the Internet industry!"

   It is conceivable that once Netscape dominates the Internet market and forms an industrial chain with Netscape as the core, users can open Netscape and use all kinds of software, so what does Microsoft need to do?

   At this time, Bill Gates' vigilance against Netscape has begun to increase linearly.

When he thought about Netscape's layout, Bill Gates was shocked. What he saw was not only Netscape's support for plug-ins and third-party programs, but also related to another thing, "Netscape, want to become a communication provider. Interface to the Internet!"

   Hearing what Bill Gates said, everyone in the office instantly became nervous. Why Microsoft can dominate the software industry is because Microsoft's operating system has become an interface that users cannot bypass when using computers.

   Now an ordinary computer user, saying that he doesn't use Microsoft's system, is basically blind.

   And now Bill Gates, seeing Netscape's ambitions, also wants to be like Microsoft, becoming an indispensable entrance for users to access the Internet. If you want to use the Internet, you can't get around Netscape!

   "Microsoft needs to make changes, if you don't want to lose the Internet market!" Ballmer and others also said at this time that the Internet is not making money now, but it does not mean that Microsoft is really ready to give up the Internet market.

   "Go and meet Netscape, if they agree to sell, Microsoft is willing to pay!"

Bill Gates, who really felt the threat from Netscape, quickly made a judgment. Of course, the first idea was to acquire it. Microsoft, with its deep pockets, faced an opponent, and the first idea was to kill the opponent with money. often unfavorable.

   Greg Murphy, who is in charge of Microsoft's acquisitions, nodded, then asked, "What if Netscape refuses?!"

   Over the years, it's not that Microsoft hasn't encountered hard bones. IBM, Apple, Wang An, SUN, Lotus, Baolan System, Corel and many other companies have not bowed their heads to Microsoft, and some have even gone bankrupt with Microsoft.

  Bill Gates looked at the Netscape browser on the screen, "Then Microsoft is about to usher in a war, no matter how much the cost, Microsoft cannot let the entrance to the Internet be occupied by Netscape!"

  The news that is far away in Seattle, Song Yang in San Jose naturally has no way of knowing that Microsoft has its own faction in the technology industry, and in Seattle's hometown, no one can inquire about Microsoft's news, unless Microsoft intends to release it.

At this moment, Song Yang and Gallo went to the living room to see Prince, and recommended to the security guard. Song Yang thought he was a burly man, but what he saw was a middle-aged man with a very ordinary face. In the crowd, it is estimated that you can forget that in a blink of an eye.

   "Please sit down!"

   Song Yang looked at the man in front of him, and if Prince could pick him and let him come to Song Yang, Song Yang must have felt that there was something special about him.

   "Cresser Ulf!" The middle-aged man said to Song Yang, speaking not fast, but very calm.

  Song Yang looked at Ulf in front of him, "Prince should have told you that he needs you to be the security director here..."

"I understand," Ulf said in his unhurried tone, "I used to send the Vietnam Task Force in America, experienced the last five years of the Vietnam War, and after returning to America, I served as a California federal police officer. Tan's combat training consultant, later entered the security industry, and worked as a security consultant for some characters. The last time he performed a mission was to **** a congressman to Kuwait during the Gulf War!"

   After waiting for a while, before Ulf could speak again, Gallo couldn't help asking, "No?!"

  Cresse Ulf gave Gallo a strange look, thought for a moment, and added, "Oh, I returned safely from the battlefield, as a security guard, and returned to America safely!"

Gallo was disappointed for a while. He also wanted to hear if there were any legendary stories, such as taking the head of the enemy in the army, killing blood in the siege, and fighting the enemy's wits and courage when protecting the employer, Single-handedly dueling with villains and the like, but in the end, in Ulf, he didn't hear anything. His career was too dull.

As soon as Song Yang heard it, he also felt that his experience was a little too bland, and it seemed that there was no highlight moment, but after thinking about it, after five years in the task force, he was able to return safely, aside from good luck, it means that Wu Elf has enough strength to solve those troubles!

And during the security period, whether it was escorting the employer overseas or other tasks, Ulf also seemed to be "unremarkable" and did not have any situation. Does that mean that Ulf anticipated those possible risks in advance, And get rid of those troubles? !

Good fighters have no illustrious skills, and they can solve the troubles that arise. Of course, they are superior, but they can prevent problems before they happen. Then Ulf's rank is more important than those security personnel who have high-profile moments. A few points higher.

  Song Yang looked at Ulf, Ulf was still unremarkable, but Song Yang suddenly felt that maybe it was a good choice to let Ulf be responsible for safety, and I am afraid no one would pay attention to Ulf!

   "I hope you can stay in charge of the security here, Ulf, and you will be responsible for my travels and other security in the future."

  Gallo looked at Song Yang hesitantly, wondering how Song Yang would choose this unremarkable Ulf.

You must know that Ulf's asking price is not low. Except for the tens of thousands of dollars that are much higher than the daily security, the asking price has reached an astonishing $170,000 annual salary. This price is enough to recruit a few Rangers, SEALs, and Delta Class origin.

In addition to the high annual salary, Ulf also asked Song Yang to buy him a high accident insurance. The beneficiaries were his children and wife, and he also paid for his family's medical insurance. The conditions can be said to be quite harsh.

   Hearing that Song Yang agreed to all his conditions, Ulf looked at Song Yang, "I can only promise that I will do everything possible to avoid accidents, as long as I can still stand!"

   There are no empty words, but Wulff's words made people believe it unconsciously. Song Yang nodded. Wulff's accident insurance has explained everything.

After signing the contract, Ulf quickly entered the working state. He asked Song Yang about his daily habits and travel. Hearing that there were no other messy customs, Ulf was relieved at first, and then asked Song Yang. When asked, he may have opponents and enemies and the like.

   "Habits are often the biggest risks. I need to eliminate those risks!" Ulf said seriously to Song Yang, taking out notes from time to time to write down something.

Hearing Song Yang say that it's just some competitors in the industry, other than Bledsoe Jayden, Ulf nodded, "I need some weapons and equipment, the kind with licenses. These might come in handy!"

  Wulf wrote a list, Song Yang glanced at it, mainly armor, and a few small weapons and bullets, Song Yang gave the list to Gallo, and asked him to prepare it for Ulf.

   Gallo glanced at the list and bragged to Ulf, "I'm short of everything here, except for these things, the guy Prince prepared is much more awesome than you!"

   At this moment, Song Yang's cell phone suddenly rang, and Irene's eager voice came from the phone, "Turn on the TV!"

Gallo opened it quickly, and without looking for a few channels, he saw the reason why Irene was so urgent. A picture came out on the TV, and the host reported in a surprised tone, "The team just arrived at Netscape headquarters on behalf of Microsoft. , there is news that Microsoft is going to launch an acquisition of Netscape this time..."
