Chapter 887 Carrying it on is the only way out

Walking into the Palm company, Wu Tao realized that his trip was redundant.

Now that he has made a name for himself in the United States, and is sought after by authoritative financial weekly magazines and various media outlets, as a subsidiary, the morale of Palm employees has long been extremely high, and there is no hidden worry at all.

As the acting CEO of the company, Jeff Hawkins greeted him with joy, and the tone of the conversation was completely different from when he first negotiated cooperation.

While Jeff and his partner Donna Dubinsky's smartphones are already working, the future is not so bright.

Coupled with the fact that Lotus phones have decided to try to introduce the Palm system in the new generation of products, they have lost the opportunity to fill the gap in the market.

Palm OS, which fell into the hands of Yuanqi Technology, has been very popular after it has been proposed to be licensed and promoted for free around the world, and the corresponding development platform SDK is gradually improving.

All of this is a prerequisite for the internationalization of Palm OS.

However, since Wu Tao is here, the specific situation still needs to be understood. His main concern is the progress of the development of multi-threading technology in Palm OS.

After all, this is a key factor related to whether Palm OS can compete with the Android system derived from the Linux platform in the future, and it has to be paid attention to.

Jeff made a detailed report on this.

Wu Tao also roughly understood that according to the project plan, this technology can be implemented in the new version of Palm OS next year at the earliest.

After knowing it in his heart, Wu Tao no longer cared about the rest of Palm's business.

In terms of specific finances, there is an authoritative review of the Los Angeles branch of Apocalypse Investment, and I believe that nothing will go wrong in this regard.

Leaving Palm, Wu Tao went directly to Yahoo's headquarters, which was not far away.

is different from Wu Tao's high-spiritedness, Yang Zhiyuan's whole person seems to have suddenly aged by more than ten years, which really shocked Wu Tao.

originally thought that a novice in the Internet industry like Ding Lei would be confused and decadent when he encountered the industrial depression, but he didn't expect that an old fritter like Yang Zhiyuan would be like this.

Yahoo was one of the iconic companies that started the Internet boom.

"Old Yang, what's the matter with you? When asked this, Wu Tao was ready to take a hand.

In the current Internet winter, no Internet company is having a good time, except for the few companies under Wu Tao's name that are backed by their own investment companies.

Yang Zhiyuan was worried like this, and specially called himself over, either encountering capital problems or development difficulties.

"Brother Wu, since you came to California, I want to visit you and talk to you. As soon as Yang Zhiyuan spoke, he first said a few polite words, which can be regarded as correcting his position, "To tell you the truth, Yahoo has just landed in Dongying's branch, and now the business is a mess, which makes me have no confidence in Yahoo Huaxia." ”

“...... Now that the Internet industry is in recession, Yahoo's stock is now plummeting, and the board of directors is putting a lot of pressure on me. The hardships are really not enough for outsiders. ”

"I understand. Wu Tao nodded abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhiyuan began to clench his fists, "Could it be that the Internet industry has really entered the Great Depression, please give me some guidance." ”

"That's not to be true. Wu Tao waved his hand and said: "But for the current industrial depression, I think that carrying on is the only way out." ”

“...... Since the development of the Internet industry, it has been endowed with too many legends, and it is time to settle down and get back on the road. And this process is the process of survival of the fittest. Yahoo feels bad, but it's more sad than you!"

"Carry, how easy is it to say?" Yang Zhiyuan sighed on his knees, "No one knows how long this depression will last, according to the previous economic cycle, a depression of ten or eight years is not a matter." ”

"Hey~" Wu Tao immediately interrupted: "That's not it." Brother Yang, if you believe me, this depression will last for a year or two at most, or at least no more than 3 years!"

Yang Zhiyuan's face suddenly softened a lot, he took a big sip of coffee and said, "If that's the case, then it's acceptable." But even if it's 3 years, life is not easy. You don't know the board, and it's three days and two ends. If you can't spend your money, you will be judged, and if you can't spend your money, you will be judged if you can't go out and lie blind on your account......"

It turns out that Yahoo is not short of money, but only a strategy to carry through this time.

After all, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Wu Tao heard that in order to raise funds for transformation and development, Ding Lei even sold the villa he had just bought in the capital.

That's obviously not the case on Yahoo's side.

However, when it comes to the direction and action of industrial transformation, in this regard, Wu Tao can't give Yang Zhiyuan too specific suggestions.

In fact, in the past few years of the Internet Depression, Yahoo basically did not make any big moves, and has been precipitating and developing and improving.

In the current conversation, Wu Tao can also feel that Yang Zhiyuan's thinking has been limited to the field of portals.

Then it would be inappropriate for him to put forward a reasonable suggestion to Ding Lei in front of Yang Zhiyuan.

So Wu Tao pondered for a long time, and then said: "Why don't you Brother Yang, you try to acquire some high-quality assets and expand the group's business?"

Yang Zhiyuan's heart moved, and then said: "By the way, I heard that Motorola intends to sell the Iridium program, can I buy it and take the opportunity to infiltrate the communications industry?"

Wu Tao waved his hand again and again, you can pull it down, it's not good to be staring at it, but staring at such a sinkhole.

In the end, the meeting at Yahoo did not come up with anything concrete. But fortunately, after listening to Wu Tao's judgment on the depression cycle, Yang Zhiyuan's worries faded a lot.

Isn't it just carrying? Gritting our teeth, let's carry it without saying a word.

Back at the Mid-Levels villa in Irvine, Panis had already sent someone to wait at home.

A group of luxury motorcades lined up in front of Wu Tao's villa, and the big men in suits and leather shoes stood next to the car with their hands tied.

This is the essence of the Morgan consortium.

This scene can see that Song Zhuang gave a death order to the security team below, no matter what, you can't embarrass the boss, you can't embarrass the Huaxia soldiers!

For this reason, Wu Tao's security team was all dispatched and flew to New York to meet the Morgan family.

In terms of value and assets, we can't compare to such an old consortium, but we must not be weak in terms of momentum.

Otherwise, it will not only be a shame for the boss, but also a drag on the boss.

In the room, Molly once again takes on the role of stylist. It's just that this time, the cloakroom makes her enjoy this role extraordinarily.

"Wu, Panis has an average status in the family, you must be careful this time. ”

Feeling the other party's concern, Wu Tao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. This trip to the Morgan family, although it is not Longtan Tiger's Den, is probably not easy.

However, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

Wu Tao is actually looking forward to this trip to New York.

"Don't worry, Molly. There are a lot of expensive clothes in this room, and I haven't had time to put them on yet. For that reason, I have to come back safely!"
