Back To 1995 Chapter 476

   Chapter 476 Help the field (sorry, the update is late)

  Bill Gates is really not very popular in America, and he knows it himself, but when he left America, he was even smeared with cakes, probably not even he thought of it.

   The photo has a dazed and somewhat aggrieved look, which is indeed what Bill Gates thought at the time.

After the photo was sent back to America, it immediately became the front page headlines in major sectors such as technology, finance, and finance. The major melon eaters and commentators basically gloated over the misfortune and did not criticize Bill Gates at all. The meaning of the man in the cake was to tout the man as "Robinson the Prince of Thieves".

If you select the most unpopular rich man in America in the first issue, then Bill Gates is estimated to be on the top of the list, even if in fact, compared to the old rich, Bill Gates is quite good, Charity is really doing things, but the reputation is still amazing. Now in America, there is a faint feeling of being synonymous with villains.

  In the middle of the lawn of the villa, when Jim Clark mentioned Bill Gates and the cake, there was a burst of laughter, everyone knew that he was mocking Bill Gates, and there were opponents in Belgium.

   "So Jim, if Bill Gates sued the warrior, would you help him?"

   There was someone at the scene who didn't think it was a big deal. I don't know if it was someone from Silicon Valley or a reporter who had sneaked in, and asked Jim Clark.

   Hearing this question, Jim Clark couldn't help laughing, "People always make mistakes, this is the price of growth, I think he should just be too young!"

With a few frivolous words, Jim Clark will give the person who threw Bill Gates cake a given character for "young, frivolous and ignorant", in short, Bill Gates and a young man who made some "mistakes" , what is there to compare?

   "Because of certain relationships, Netscape had to set up a team of the best lawyers in Silicon Valley. Similarly, if the young Belgian needs, Netscape can provide him with legal aid, free of charge!"

Jim Clark said that he wished that Bill Gates would sue the other party in his anger. For this kind of thing, if Bill Gates wants to sue the other party, he must be able to win, but for Bill Gates, in addition to In addition to attracting dissatisfaction and ridicule from the outside world, he did not get any benefits.

Even, if Netscape wants to do something, it can take the opportunity to launch a public opinion offensive. This is like a rich man who wants to sue a beggar. As long as the beggar doesn't do anything harmful, as long as the defendant is accused, the outside world will naturally Pity this beggar!

  Song Yang listened to Jim Clark and the rest of the audience, and just listened to the jokes about Bill Gates, but didn't say anything.

  Bill Gates was able to get to where he is today, and it is not muddy. As long as his brain is not burned by anger, he will definitely not sue that person, whether he is a bad person or not.

In fact, after being smeared by the cake, Bill Gates did not immediately sue the other party, and even did not leave the meeting. Instead, he changed his clothes and attended the meeting as usual, which shows how Bill Gates' mentality is. .

   He didn't clean up the other party on the spot, and Bill Gates, who calmed down, would not fall into the limelight and sue the other party or something, even if the other party was exposed by the media, that person was a professional touch.

   Not only Bill Gates, the man also used cake to cover his face with many celebrities, but others are not as famous or as influential as Bill Gates.

   For the person who throws the cake, it is all for the sake of fame and attention, and even when interviewed by the media, he also mentioned that he should write these experiences into a book and publish…

   "This may be an opportunity for Bill Gates and Microsoft!"

  Song Yang said to Irene, who was holding his arm, no matter what the person who threw the cake was thinking, now Bill Gates is indeed the victim. If Bill Gates gives up prosecuting the other party, it can't really save some public opinion.

Even if it is more extreme, and Microsoft is directly involved in this incident, and public opinion is launched to the outside world, Microsoft is like Bill Gates' experience this time, and was sued for antitrust for no reason, just like Bill Gates. It's like being bitten by a nerve!

   Listening to Song Yang's words, Irene's eyes were shocked. She didn't expect that she could still play like this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she could really do it.

It is estimated that no one will listen to those big truths, but this kind of thing, it is estimated that countless people who like to join in the fun will be affected. It is impossible to say that this wave of public opinion can really be recovered. Just like the big goose that the chili sauce had deceived, after a while of laughter from the melon-eating crowd, a certain goose was actually crowned with the image of a silly white sweet, and a wave of public relations did not know how much public opinion was changed!

There's something Song Yang hasn't said yet. This time, Bill Gates' experience will not be a little helpful to him who is about to participate in the Capitol Hill inquiry. Those congressmen can't be like this time. , also make Bill Gates face, how much to give some face.

After   's speech, Jim Clark greeted the crowd for a while, then walked towards Song Yang with a plate of cold food.

   Jim Clark and Song Yang are also familiar with each other for a long time. Naturally, there are not so many courtesies between the two sides.

   "Excellent speech, I heard that Netscape has an advantage in all states of America and overseas markets. I believe Netscape can get the most justice of federal law!"

  Song Yang said to Jim Clark, who was eating a cold meal, and complimented Netscape.

  Jim Clark swallowed a plate of cold food in a few mouthfuls, drank a large glass of champagne, and said to Irene next to Song Yang, "I'm so sorry, I haven't eaten for a day."

Wiping his lips, Jim Clark was not as confident as when he spoke just now, "This lawsuit has not really ended that day, no one knows who will win, this is the Federation, this is America, anything is possible. occur!"

   It can be seen that Jim Clark is actually a little unsure about the extent of the lawsuit. It seems that Netscape has the upper hand, the outside world is also supported by public opinion, and the Federal Department of Justice is also on their side.

But Microsoft is too powerful, how many members of Congress Hill support Microsoft, and Microsoft can come up with too many beautiful knives. If you try your best to throw beautiful knives on Capitol Hill, donkeys and elephants Sprinkle, sprinkle the states of America, it's really possible to buy victory with a US knife!

  Jim Clark invited Song Yang to a corner of the villa. Seeing this, Irene knew that Jim Clark was going to talk to Song Yang alone, so she stepped aside with a discerning excuse and talked to all the female guests present.

   "Song, I want to say that the first time I met you, you were still holding a letter of recommendation from Kevin Kelly and selling your double-click advertising system to Netscape!"

Jim Clark sighed and said to Song Yang, recalling the scene when the two met for the first time, looking at Song Yang in front of him, it was difficult for Jim Clark to connect with Song Yang when they first met, "I Remember when you..."

Song Yang also remembered the scene at that time. Jim Clark was in the Netscape office building, roaring at Wall Street investors and Netscape executives. At that time, Jim Clark became famous. He was the founder of SGI, and he would Immediately send the first Internet company in Silicon Valley to go public, which is really beautiful.

   And Song Yang, at that time, was just a fellow from Texas like Jim Clark. For this reason, Jim Clark made an exception to meet Song Yang.

   "If at that time, Netscape agreed with Song's plan and let the Netscape browser operate for free, there would not be so much trouble now!"

Jim Clark poured another big glass of wine and said with emotion that when they first met, Song Yang boldly proposed to let Netscape browser operate free of charge to attract users, but Netscape rejected it. Now, the result is that Microsoft seized the opportunity to launch a free IE browser, and it was a complete failure!

Song Yang listened to Jim Clark's "heartfelt words", shook his head and said, "Netscape is still the most important company in Silicon Valley and one of the most important companies in the Internet. All users need to enter the Internet world through Netscape. Netscape is the gateway to the Internet..."

   Jim Clark couldn't help laughing a few times when he heard this. A year ago, he heard this and knew that he was touting Netscape, but now he hears it, but he feels a burst of irony.

In the latest Internet data survey conducted by a third-party data survey company, Netscape's market share has changed from rivaling Microsoft's at the beginning of the year to less than 30%. That is, the browser market has been occupied by Microsoft IE. Seventy percent.

This is still in America, and it is placed in overseas markets. Netscape's rhetoric when it went public, it has become a joke to go overseas and occupy overseas markets. The browser market outside America is now only known to have IE, but not Netscape. .

   One of the most ridiculous industry jokes Jim Clark heard this year is that there are overseas Internet users who complain that the IE browser is too difficult to use. If there are other browsers, it would be great to replace IE!

But when he smiled and laughed, Jim Clark couldn't laugh anymore. This joke sounds like a joke that IE browser is too difficult to use. Sadly, that's it. Netscape didn't even compete with IE browser. I know that Netscape is the first browser in the world, but how long has it been now that some people have already forgotten about Netscape!

   "If this lawsuit is lost, I am afraid that in a few years, some people may forget about Netscape."

   Jim Clark said with a bit of self-deprecation.

   "If Netscape loses, there will be new Internet companies that will become Microsoft's opponents. For a beast, it will never be full until it is defeated and licked its wounds!"

   Jim Clark said meaningfully to Song Yang, at this time he did not forget to sow discord, "I have seen everything the Alcatel phone has done. This is the best phone I have ever used."

Having said that, Jim Clark took out an Alcatel P1 mobile phone and threatened him to be the most loyal user of Alcatel mobile phones, but when the conversation changed, Jim Clark said, "I heard that Microsoft is also launching its own WP Mobile operating system, Song, you have to be prepared, don't let the Saipan system repeat the mistakes of Netscape in the mobile phone industry!"

   It sounds like Jim Clark's heartfelt remarks, but inside and outside the words, they are all encouraging Song Yang to start a relationship with Microsoft. If he doesn't start now, he will be strong, and Microsoft will take the lead in the future.

Jim Clark didn't expect Song Yang to respond to him. He just planted a thorn in Song Yang's place. When he started the tour, he had already told so many people. SUN President McNealy , Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, AOL's Case and others are included, so many Internet upstarts, there will always be someone who will challenge Microsoft, even if Netscape falls!

   Jim Clark talked a lot to Song Yang, Song Yang could clearly feel that Jim Clark really had the mentality of "retirement", or he was preparing to quit Netscape.

"Song, if Netscape faces a stalemate in Microsoft's antitrust lawsuit, Netscape may face some difficulties, whether it's revenue, market share or other aspects, if it gets to that point, Song, on your side, will Won't support Netscape?"

Song Yang raised his brows and saw Jim Clark who was looking at him, "Of course, without Netscape, there would be no Double-click today, and I would not have everything I have now. If necessary, Double-click can increase the support for Netscape. Advertising, ICQ will also support Netscape…”

  Song Yang never denied Netscape's help in Double Click. It was not Netscape, Song Yang's first pot of gold could not be obtained. Song Yang never denied this, and never avoided it.

   Jim Clark interrupted Song Yang, "Song, you know that's not what I meant."

   Staring at Song Yang's eyes, Jim Clark's face was serious, "If it comes to the last step, it may take a reorganization or merger to save Netscape, Song, will you take action?"

   Jim Clark almost made it clear, and asked Song Yang if he was interested in Netscape. When Netscape was about to sell himself, Song Yang would take action.

  Under Jim Clark's gaze, Song Yang slowly shook his head, "I'm sorry Jim, whether it's Double Click or ICQ, I'm afraid it's difficult to do all this, Netscape is too huge, but..."

   "If necessary, I can cooperate and let Netscape complete the reorganization or merger at a price that is in line with its identity!"

Jim Clark, who was originally frowning, heard Song Yang's words, and immediately showed a clear look. Song Yang was telling him that Netscape could not afford him, but when Netscape really wanted to sell himself, he would Can help raise the price.

   Just like no matter who fights Ping An County, the 358 regiment will definitely help the field. Song Yang is also here. No matter who buys Netscape, he will definitely help raise the price, so that the big injustice of the acquisition of Netscape will have to be a big hemorrhage.

   Jim Clark heard the meaning of Song Yang's words and showed a smile on his face. He liked Song Yang's attitude. He was never soft when stabbing a knife at a critical moment!

   Sorry for the late update everyone.

   There are some things in the past few days, the update is not enough, and the update is late. I'm sorry everyone, and the normal update will resume tomorrow.

Let me tell you the reason. On the one hand, there are some things. On the other hand, I was affected by the chapter that was blocked a few days ago. That chapter was blocked because it means mapping the country. When we got together, after reading what you said that day, you could feel that my mentality was obviously affected. I didn't know which ones I could write and which ones I couldn't, but my mentality was really affected.

   After talking about it, I have to say sorry to everyone in the end, and the normal update will resume tomorrow, thank you for your support.
