The moonlight is like water, flowing on the grass and in the woods, like frost and snow.

The big house in the distance is brightly lit, and music and laughter can be faintly heard.

Christmas is just three days away, and as in previous years, the great Lamin always holds a big party at this time, inviting colleagues from the company, friends from the business community, and neighbors from the community to attend.

In the eyes of colleagues, friends, and neighbors, A Ming is an ascetic, although he has a manor, a small island, a private jet, and a luxury yacht, he does not pursue much taste for life, from clothing to daily consumption, he is like tens of thousands of programmers in Silicon Valley. For example, if the annual Christmas party is not run by Betty, I am afraid that the lobster will be Boston instead of Alaska, and the red wine will be 3glasses instead of Lafite in '96?......。

However, even if he has no taste in life, no one regards him as an upstart, from colleagues to friends and neighbors, they all regard him as a great person. He does not pursue the taste of life, because he has no time, no matter who has to think about the company's affairs on the one hand and do academic research on the other, it is impossible to have so much leisure time to enjoy life.

For example, at today's party, everyone was dancing, communicating, and tasting wine, but poor A Ming was questioned in public by Yahoo's Jerry. Moreover, it seems that the two of them did not talk pleasantly, and they talked from the inside to the outside.

It's not very pleasant, indeed.

The two old friends followed the forest path in the white mist to another quiet manor, and walked in the silver moonlight, but they did not have the same harmony as they had talked before, and they quarreled from time to time.

Many conflicts are misunderstood because of the lack of communication, as a friend for several years, Yang Zhiyuan can guess that Li Jiaming has a hard time, just as the other party can understand that he used the procedure to veto the financing case. However, neither of them is a lone ranger, and they are all followed by a group of subordinates, and they must fight for the interests of the team.

There was no problem with returning the loan, and Kyle began to raise funds from the moment Li Jiaming ordered Kyle to change the partner. The problem is that Yang Zhiyuan does not want to repay the loan, but revisits the financing case of that year, and wants to exchange the shares of HH Company with Yahoo's shares.

The prototype of the iPhone came out, and out of secrecy, Yang Zhiyuan, the vice chairman, didn't see it, but he saw and got the prototype of the iPod7.

Technology is universal, and the technology that can be used on the iPod can be applied to the iPhone, which means that the iPhone will be far from similar products on the market in terms of operability and smoothness of connection to the Internet. If we add the breakthrough of the research institute in I-Fi technology, it can be expected that as long as there is i-Fi, the iPhone will get rid of the shackles of wireless network bandwidth and get the same connection speed as the wired network.

If this only means that the iPhone is selling well, it is too much to underestimate Yang Zhiyuan, and his success today is far from being explained by luck. The essence of the Internet is the connection between people, broadening the channels and speed of people's access to information, and devices are actually just tools to serve the channels and speed of obtaining information.

Once mobile terminals replace fixed terminals and become a tool for people to obtain information, it will trigger a series of technological innovations and make wireless networks rise rapidly. As a search company and online content provider, Yahoo has gained a head start because it has access to the source code of the 'excellent' system, but in order to turn this opportunity into an advantage, it must have the cooperation of HH.

This is not good, if it is not put by Larry and exchanges Google's shares for Yahoo's shares, this matter does not need to be brought up by Yang Zhiyuan at all, and Li Jiaming will also arrange Kyle to execute. Since the transaction was not established, it was impossible for Li Jiaming to get HH Company to cooperate, let alone agree to the financing case.

But this is just Li Jiaming's idea, and this is not the truth in Yang Zhiyuan. It is true that Hanhua is Li Jiaming's dominant share, and Hanhua can have today, and he has also made great contributions, but after the implementation of the stock incentive, the company is no longer his alone, but the entire team. Since it belongs to the whole team, it is not possible to let personal interests take precedence over the interests of the company.

It's just that everyone is not fighting for anger, but to solve the problem, so Yang Zhiyuan persuaded very politely: "Jiaming, HH Company is just a sales company, not the parent company Hanhua!"

No, after the implementation of the futures stock incentive, his shares have dropped to 54.18%. If more than 10% of the shares are sold to Yahoo, the control will not change hands, but it will have a great voice internally. The right to speak seems to be less important than the decision-making power, but it can be used to lobby other directors to promote the cooperation between Yahoo and HH to suppress Google.

"Jiaming, you are using power for personal gain!"

This kind of difficult thing for a strong man has been mentioned again and again, and Li Jiaming is also a little unhappy, and mocked: "No, I am using the rules reasonably!"

"You're harming the company!"

This kind of accusation is even more ridiculous, I haven't forced that I must install Google's software in the future, and just refusing Yahoo is harming the interests of the company? Isn't it afraid that I will use my identity as a major shareholder and the prestige of the founder, and will not give Yahoo a chance to compete fairly in the future?

"Okay, okay, don't mention this impossible, tell me your true intentions!"

There is only one real intention, which is to ask the company to give Yahoo a fair chance to compete with Google. Although Kyle promised to put the software developed by Yahoo on the company's website for iPhone users to download freely, that kind of thing knew it was unreliable as soon as he heard it. Within GCA, Lee Ka Ming can be equated with God, and if he continues to hold a stake in Google, it is impossible to give both sides a level playing field.

If this wasn't an old friend for many years, Li Jiaming would have turned around and left, too lazy to talk nonsense. But this was an old friend, so he had to ask: "Brother Zhiyuan, what would I do if you were me?"

Yang Zhiyuan, who had been pestering, smiled bitterly, and asked rhetorically: "Jiaming, if you were me, what would happen to you?"

smiled bitterly, and Li Jiaming, who suddenly understood the other party's intentions, also smiled bitterly. None of them are lone rangers, followed by a large group of subordinates, all of whom must fight for the interests of the entire team, even at the cost of dignity. Words such as a promise and friendship are worth a thousand gold, and after they really reach a certain status, they realize that they are all beautiful but useless words.

One side knew that he could not do it, but he just wanted to give an explanation to his subordinates and prove that he had tried his best to win it, and the other side insisted that it was not allowed because it was out of his own interests, and no one would be willing to sacrifice his own interests for others, even if the two were very good friends.

Each other understood each other's intentions, and did not do any more useless work, the two sat on the ground on the dewy lawn, and Yang Zhiyuan, who did not smoke, even smoked a cigarette with him.

"Hey, you and your cousin have become rivals, and you have become rivals with old classmates, what do you think in your heart?"

"Hehe, you don't talk about yourself, do you?"

"Even if it is, it doesn't count, after all, our common interests are greater than our respective interests. ”

After smoking half a cigarette, Li Jiaming looked at the brightly lit house from afar, and said quietly: "Brother Zhiyuan, in fact, I sometimes regret it." ”

Yang Zhiyuan, who was playing with a cigarette in his hand, could understand, but echoed: "Really?

"Really, but it's also a bit hypocritical, it really responds to that sentence, this matter is difficult to complete."
