Chapter 831: Kill or Kill (Silver Alliance Leader 21)
After participating in this drinking party, Hong Tao is completely idle, and he can make cattle and horses for Ah Shan every day, disguise himself as a qualified father-to-be, and patiently wait for the day when labor comes. At the beginning of April, Yulia received good news, and after nearly half a year of hard work, Anderson and his technical team finally rewrote the Mosaic browser, this time not only in the Unix version, but also on the Windows system.
This is also the idea that Hong Tao gave him, in order to avoid NCSA's trademark copyright on the original Mosaic browser. It turns out that the Mosaic browser must not be used, and Hong Tao doesn't want to spend money to fight with NCSA again, so he simply writes a new one, which can not only avoid copyright issues, but also improve some of Anderson's regrets, because it turns out that the Mosaic browser is a game for him and his friends, and it is a beta version at all. Now this new browser is very different from the original Mosaic browser, and the name is also based on Hong Tao's Jianyì, which is called scapenavigator, and the company's name is used as the prefix.
In fact, this method was not thought up by Hong Tao, originally Anderson and Clark did it like this, it is estimated that this idea was come up with Clark, and now Hong Tao just took it and used it again. Since they were able to succeed and follow their own path, they should be getting closer and closer to success, right?
In addition, there is good news, that Jim Clark finally did not escape the control of fate and resigned from the silicon map company. It is good to say that resignation is good, but it should be said that it is a failure in the internal struggle. The development concept is different, and the family directly gives a small amount of money. Then he was kicked out of the company. After leaving the job, Clark was very disappointed, and Yulia, who had been staring at him for months, suddenly appeared in front of him.
Originally, this magic stick should have been played by Hong Tao. But he really couldn't pull away. He is not bound to win this Clark, it is better to fight for it, and he can make do with it if he can't, so he handed over this difficult job to Yulia to do, and at the same time wanted to see how much real material this former Soviet quasi-intelligence agent had learned.
As a result, Yulia completed this task very beautifully, only a little more troublesome than Hong Tao persuaded Anderson, Clark did not agree to her on the spot, and only thought about the information Yulia gave him for more than a day, and readily agreed to join Netscape as the CEO. He also took out $1 million and invested Netscape as a shareholder, holding 12% of the company's shares. He said that he is very optimistic about the future of Netscape, and this idea coincides with his previous vision at Silicon Map, so he is willing to prove whether his previous idea can be successful on the new platform of Netscape. It's not so much about running Netscape as it is about fulfilling one of his own dreams.
For this Clark, Hong Tao doesn't plan to paint a big pie for him anymore, he is not a technician in his bones, but a management talent. This kind of person is too picky about his tastes. Hong Tao didn't dare to guarantee that the pie he painted would suit them, and once the effect was not good, it would give them an illusion, but it would not be beautiful. Since he was able to rely on his own energy in his previous life, Netscape was successfully listed. has also achieved unprecedented success, so Hong Tao does not plan to command blindly, but only needs to create a more superior environment for him. Let him toss it himself.
When Yulia brought Anderson and Clark to New York in early April to hold the first joint meeting with Jon and Joseph, Hong Tao did not show up. He just asked Yulia to make a copy of the minutes of the meeting and mail it to himself afterwards. From the minutes of this meeting. Hong Tao didn't see anything he could understand the content of the association, Clark and Joseph were the protagonists of the meeting, most of the time they were talking, and Yulia, a person specializing in economics, couldn't come up with any useful ideas, at best he could understand them. As for Anderson, apart from introducing his product at the beginning, he basically didn't see his name appear in the minutes at any other time.
For this meeting, Hong Tao himself did not report any big extravagant expectations, two or three groups of people who were not very familiar with the original came together to talk about a big deal related to themselves, and there would definitely be nothing to talk about without one or two run-ins. This is also the purpose of Hong Tao to get them together for a meeting, and now Netscape's listing work is slightly easier than in the previous life, because of the addition of Lister Bank. But it can also be said that there is one more variable, so communication is important. Adelson is easy to do, he is a technician, but Clark is different, his business philosophy must be explained, and Joseph's principles must be agreed, so that the two sides can cooperate efficiently, otherwise it will be half the effort.
Clark's business philosophy is exactly the same as Hong Tao's memory, and he came up with the concept of free download from the beginning. He believes that the browser is just a tool, the important thing is not how much it sells, but its occupancy, once it reaches a certain occupancy, it is praised by netizens and cultivates the habit of use, it itself has achieved a certain success, and these intangible things will be a lot of wealth.
Joseph did not make it clear whether he agreed with Clark's ideas or not, and as he usually does, he never made conclusions about things he did not know and were not familiar with. However, he also raised the issue that once this Netscape Navigator does not reach the estimated value, it will be difficult to go public, and it will be very difficult to raise money, because no one will invest in something with a very low estimate.
Yulia's appearance at this meeting was not bad, she understood what Clark and Joseph meant, and found a suitable way to deal with it, that is, to continue the conversation at the next meeting! Because she didn't know who was right, and she felt that anyone was right, so she planned to delay it, and then let Hong Tao tell her what she should do. Where to find Hong Tao if you are sleepy, this is already an idea that the women around Hong Tao are very accustomed to. Because the facts tell them that it is useless to think about many things by themselves, what Hong Tao said must be right! So over time, they no longer try to think about it themselves, and when they encounter a big thing that they can't decide, the first thing they think of is to ask Hong Tao.
"Let them talk a few more times, don't jump to conclusions, but don't let their differences escalate. You go and talk to Joseph privately, he's a nice old man. You sue him that the purpose of free is not to give for free, but to develop a habit of use, which is equivalent to advertising. And computer software is different from ordinary goods, it does not require production costs, only R&D costs and maintenance costs, so don't care too much about gains and losses. Then you go to Clark and Anderson, and ask them not only to download it for free, but to integrate the email system into the browser, to get a version for free, to get a version for a fee, to have fewer free additional functions but to use, and to pay more additional functions, so that it can give investors some confidence. Remember, it's not your job to guide them where to go, or to be a referee for them, but to be a lubricant so that they can run more smoothly together. ”
Hong Tao listened to Yulia's report on the phone, and easily helped Yulia find a new position, and told her some of the experiences in his memory. These things will be rotten street stuff in the future life, and any student can tell you a big set. But due to the interference of the magic wand of time, it is a new idea and a new business idea to say it now. To put it in general terms, 99% of the world's business people will be fooled, as for how to do it, that's their business, let's kill it or bury it!
"How's Ah Shan?" Yulia can shorthand, and Hong Tao can hear her clicking on the paper on the phone. As soon as the voice stopped, Yulia's business was finished, and Hong Tao meant the final order, so there was no need to continue the discussion, but she didn't hang up the phone, but asked in a whisper about Ah Shan's situation.
"It'll be about the same in a few days, and the doctor can't say what day it will be, but she's in good condition. Hong Tao actually wanted to say that Ah Shan is good, and he can't do it soon.
"I envy her and Tan Jing, it should feel good to be a mother......" Yulia still didn't hang up.
"Don't worry, I don't object to you wanting children, but you have to give me a buffer time. In this way, when Netscape Communications is listed, you can be a mother, whether it is successful or not, it is not your fault. Hong Tao knew what Yulia wanted to say, so don't wait for her to say it herself, just take the initiative yourself. Fortunately, she didn't agree, if the three women were pregnant together, Hong Tao really couldn't imagine how he would spend these days.
"Well, you have to talk and count!" Yulia got the answer she wanted, and the plaintive tone she had just had disappeared immediately.
"You are making an unwarranted accusation against me, what I say doesn't count? I will be by your side until the children are born, no less than them. Put away your careful thoughts, think more about business, and earn more milk powder money for your children!" Hong Tao really has no way to deal with Yulia's problem of gain and loss, and many things will immediately become complicated as soon as they reach her mind.
“…… Then I'll go and talk to them individually according to your wishes, and then have another meeting next week, don't you want to come and hear it?" Yulia was told what Hong Tao thought in her heart, and immediately became honest and talked about work again.
"I said you're really funny, you used to shout every day about how you want to manage a company, but now you really let you be in charge, and you're starting to shrink back. I am only saying these things to you, you have to say it to them as you wish, and don't lift me out of the way first, because they will look down on you. Once they don't value you anymore, then the cooperation is really troublesome. You are the CEO of Crystal Orchid Capital, not my secretary, nor a meeting recorder, take out some high-achieving skills, and Tan Jing of the province laughs at you again. Hong Tao thinks that Yulia is also pumping more and more now, is it because she has been with herself for a long time, and it will affect her IQ development......?
