"Zheng Yan, Bill Gates's phone. ”

Just as Zheng Yan was thinking about countermeasures, Li Yanran's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Wait for me, and I'll come when I go. ”

Zheng Yan said a word to Larry Ellison and Jobs, and then got up and left, but he was still thinking about what Larry Ellison had just said.

"It seems that Bill Gates already knows about today's events, and I'm afraid he's ready to beat the water dogs, and I'm afraid Netscape is really over now. Liu Wei said with emotion, and there was no regret for Netscape in his words.

"What's so strange about this? Bill Gates is a cancer in Silicon Valley, never misses any opportunity to hit his opponent, and the means he uses are even more despicable, I would be surprised if he doesn't jump out. ”

No matter at any time or on any occasion, whenever Bill Gates is mentioned, Larry Ellison never hides his dislike for him, and this time is no exception.

"Okay Larry, you don't have to talk about Bill Gates, if there is a chance to defeat Microsoft, presumably you won't be soft, so ah, you two are the same in this regard. If you really want to talk about the difference, it is the gap in the strength of the company. ”

"Although Oracle is one of the largest software companies in the world, your database software only occupies 40 to 50 percent of the market, and no product can do the same as Microsoft's operating system, which almost monopolizes the entire market, which you can't deny. ”

Although it was just a joke between friends, Larry Ellison couldn't help but get excited after hearing Jobs' words.

"That's because I'm not as despicable as Bill Gates, and I didn't go out of his way to hit competitors, otherwise..."

"What are you talking about? I just left for a while, how did it become so lively?"

Zheng Yan went fast and came back quickly. Larry Ellison also stopped after hearing Zheng Yan's voice.

"What is Bill Gates looking for you? Did you come up with some shady idea to deal with Netscape?" No matter what Jobs said, after all, it was just a joke, and in contrast, Larry Ellison was still more concerned about Bill Gates's dynamics.

"Nothing, yet

It's a matter of operating systems and browsers going public. Because Netscape's stock price is sluggish and obviously unable to continue, Bill Gates is ready to change his strategy against Netscape. ”

"After today, everyone knows that Microsoft's browser is coming to market, and they are all curious. In this case, there is no need to promote it in a monopoly way, leaving people with a mouthful, as long as it is free, it can quickly seize the market. ”

Although Zheng Yan agreed to Bill Gates's strategy, he knew in his heart that if it was only free, it would be impossible to completely destroy Netscape, at least not in a short time. However, since Bill Gates brought it up, Zheng Yan didn't bother to argue with him.

"You see, I know that Bill Gates is the most insidious, obviously with a belly of bad tricks, but he still has to pretend to be a decent gentleman. ”

After listening to Zheng Yan's answer, Larry Ellison was very happy, and seemed to have found an excuse to attack Bill Gates again, and also found evidence for what he just said.

"Okay Larry, if you want to see Bill Gates' shady tricks, just wait, sooner or later. How much trouble he wants to save now, the trouble will only double in the future, and it can't be avoided at all. However, after the phone call just now, I did think of the charging method of Elite Technology. ”

"Even if IM launches some charging projects, the upfront cost cannot be too high, at most a few dollars. In addition, our customer base is special, and it is a bit unrealistic to want to pay through online banking or credit card, so I thought of a compromise method. ”

"For those who are already working, online banking and credit cards are fine, so we need to keep this payment method as well. In addition to this, we can add two more methods. ”

"First, IC cards are more common at present, we can cooperate with companies that produce IC cards, and the cost is deducted by them, as long as the sharing method is discussed, the other party will not refuse. As for the specifics, you need to talk about it. ”

"Second, we can produce some random serial card numbers ourselves, sell the cards to some stores, and finally go to users. As long as the user enters the corresponding card number, we will open the corresponding service for them. ”

Just when he hung up the phone, Zheng Yan realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. Although the payment platform of later generations is convenient, before the payment platform became popular, there were not a few game point cards.

"Zheng Yan, the serial card number you said is really good, but is the IC card a little redundant? At present, almost every household has a telephone, and we can cooperate with telecommunications companies, so it can save a lot of trouble?"

"AT&T is the largest telecommunications company at the moment, and in addition to telecommunications business, they also have Internet business, and they have some cooperation with Oracle, and things will be simpler. ”

"No, you can't use a home phone. Regarding Larry Ellison's proposal, Zheng Yan refused without even thinking about it.

"According to you, it's a lot easier, but it's also a lot more troublesome. If the people who use the phone are adults, of course there is no problem with your method, but if the children at home use it secretly, it will inevitably cause us trouble. ”

"At the moment, the company is still in the development stage, and we have to eliminate all factors that could adversely affect the company. Of course, it is not completely eliminated, the home phone can only be bound to the IM account of the account holder, and it is absolutely not possible to deduct fees for other accounts. ”

"But you can rest assured that this is only temporary, and it won't be long before we don't need to worry about payment methods. ”

Although none of the people present were outsiders, Zheng Yan still didn't say anything about the payment platform. In Zheng Yan's plan, the payment platform will definitely be widely used in the future, but the ownership must be in your own hands.

Seeing Zheng Yan's mysterious appearance, no one asked much, after all, it was not the first time that Zheng Yan had sold Guanzi.

"Well, you're the boss, and you're up to the cracks. There is also the question of charging items and charging standards, I don't know if you have any comments?"

"It's good for you to decide, if it's me or not, you can set the price lower. On the one hand, the company has just launched a charging project, many people still don't understand, and the purchase is also with the mentality of trying, if the price is high, they will consider whether this attempt is worth it, which is not conducive to the promotion of the business. ”
