It's not that easy, which means that AOL's acquisition of Netscape is a pure pitfall.

Not only that, according to Wu Tao's meaning, AOL itself is a huge sinkhole.

Such a judgment can be said to be quite scathing.

In the past, it was not so easy for people to believe Wu Tao's judgment on the Internet industry.

But nowadays, a person who can afford to build a game company, talk and laugh with the founder of Yahoo, and even be recognized by Jeff Hawkins, Larry and other Internet industry insiders, his judgment cannot be easily ignored.

"Looks like I'm going to have to suggest that the Foundation sell AOL stock right away!" Molly said after thinking for a long time.

Wu Tao shook his head with a smile and said, "This matter is not in a hurry. Since you want to make a play, you have to do a full set. Taking this opportunity to speculate on AOL's stock, will it be easier to be fooled?"

Molly smiled meaningfully, "I really can't agree more." ”

When it comes to this topic, Wu Tao can be regarded as the end of the point.

After all, if you talk too much, you will lose, and if you really talk too much, it is difficult to ensure that the genius Yanma in front of you will not figure out a bug or something.

So the topic changed and asked Wu Yingying: "You have all met the founders of the four small companies recently, right?

Wu Yingying glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao, and the other party motioned for her to report. So he said succinctly: "We don't think there is much prospect for the two portals. As for the other two game companies, one of them makes puzzle games, and we feel that it is a bit interesting, so we have confirmed our intentions. ”

Wu Tao nodded, "Since this is over, then you will shift your energy to the matter of Palm Company, and at the same time cooperate with Molly to play a good show." On my side, I made a special trip to contact the team of programmers in Netscape. Since Howard is always staring at us, let's give him a bright plank road dark Chen Cang!"

"Because of blowing Sting!" Molly clapped her hands in fear of the world, especially what could make Howard a disadvantage, she was especially happy to do.

After Howard left Irvine Villa, he drove to the Berkshire branch.

While on the road, he called the company and asked his assistant and a few senior analysts to stay.

As soon as several people met, Howard confirmed that the incident that Wu Tao talked about was indeed true.

AOL and Netscape founders are in frequent contact, which may not be known to outsiders, but it is nothing new in the industry.

So Howard improvised and hurriedly said what he thought.

As a result, several senior analysts generally believe that this matter is too risky, so there are many who oppose it and agree with it little.

Seeing this reaction from his subordinates, Howard couldn't help but hesitate a little, and temporarily suppressed the impulse in his heart.

Meanwhile, on the streets of Los Angeles, Starbucks Coffee.

Jeff Hawkins is sitting across from a man with long black hair.

The man was wearing a plaid striped shirt, rubbing his chin with his right hand, and he looked thoughtful.

He was Donna Dubinsky, a former Apple employee who became the head of overseas sales at Claris, the software division.

It can be said that he is an old man in the IT world.

Now the two are sitting together, but they are in a dilemma with a choice.

Whether to choose to cooperate with Tianqi Investment and buy back PalmOS, or simply start anew and only ask for authorization for PalmOS.

After a while, Donna took a sip of coffee and said, "Jeff, I'm inclined to the latter, let's go it alone, set up Handspring, specializing in smartphones, and I'm sure we can make it too." ”

Jeff, however, was clearly thinking further than he was.

"Donna, we're not thinking about success right now. In fact, I think either way, we'll be successful. The difference is only in the size of the success, the height of the achievement. ”

Donna also expressed her doubts very dryly: "But that Huaxia man, although his strength is very strong, his appetite must be very great. I'm worried that the negotiation on the shares will be tough. ”

"I'd like to give it a try, Donna. "Jeff gave the final decision.

Early the next morning, Wu Tao was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone.

I was busy with the school intranet project last night, and I stayed up all night, so I slept a little more early in the morning.

Confused, I looked at the phone and saw that it was Yang Zhiyuan calling.

When the spirit was excited, he woke up most of the time, cleared his throat and connected the phone, and his voice had regained the clarity of talking and laughing.

"Mr. Yang, it's a pleasure to receive your call. ”

Yang Zhiyuan didn't have too much politeness, and said bluntly: "The matter about EB technology development talents that I promised you before, now there is news, it is the team of Netscape ......"

Netscape again!

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhiyuan also recommended this company's programmer team, so it must be won!

Wu Tao listened carefully, solemnly said that he would consider it carefully, and expressed his gratitude.

was interrupted like this, and Wu Tao couldn't sleep. After getting up and washing, I took my phone and went downstairs.

There was no one at home, so Qin Xiaoxiao and Wu Yingying naturally went to work, and even the bodyguards in the front yard were much less.

Only Song Zhuang was left sitting there, smoking a cigarette boredly.

"Hey, Uncle Zhuang, what about them?" Wu Tao took a bottle of water, walked to the courtyard, and sat under the umbrella.

Song Zhuang thanked him, "Guanghui led the team to the airport to pick up the plane." ”

"Oh!" Wu Tao then remembered that today was the day when the team of Yuanqi Technology led by Yang Ge and Leng Ning arrived.

Whether it is the matter of PalmOS or the choice of BlackBerry OS, it is definitely not suitable without the participation of Leng Ning's product development team.

As for Yang Ge coming over in person, it was Wu Tao who called him over to discuss the planning of the MP3 player.

Anyway, about the MP3 player, Wu Tao will have to talk to them sooner or later, and it is closely related to the chip R&D department of Academician Ni and Director Tao, so he simply asked Yang Ge to come over to negotiate first.

Otherwise, after returning to China, he would have to make a special trip back to Jinling to discuss this matter.

It's better to let Yang Ge come to Los Angeles together, not only to save Wu Tao from running away by himself, but also to put some smoke bombs on Howard.

Why not?

Just as Wu Tao was leisurely swimming, Song Qiang said in a slightsome manner, "Miss Molly is still in the backyard, probably swimming." ”

Again! This girl is purely using her home as her backyard.

It is said that Westerners pay the most attention to privacy and rarely visit the door. Why don't you see this in this foreign girl?

Walking through the hall and entering the courtyard, in this green backyard, in the crescent-shaped pool, a delicate and transparent figure swims in it like a mermaid.

I have to admit that this foreign girl's figure is unique.

But no matter how blessed you are, you can't help but treat yourself as an outsider. Otherwise, if Yang Ge and Leng Ning see it, their wise image as a boss will be ruined!

"Molly, come up, I have something to tell you. ”

Molly jumped out of the water and lay on the edge of the pool, stroking her wet blonde hair with her slender hand.

In particular, the full chest was pressed against the edge of the pool, squeezed into the shape of a white flower.

Oops, a little dizzy......

This foreign girl didn't even wear a bikini, and she was so generously displayed in front of people.

It's a beautiful picture......
