I have to say that a complaint by Mr. The richest man on his blog made the name Java, the programming language of Sun Microsystems, fall into a spurn, which to some extent reflects how powerful the influence of self-media after the combination of the star effect of public figures and the Internet.

The angry solar microsystem, of course, would not think that Tang Huan was just an unintentional mistake, and insisted that this was a deliberate slander with sinister intentions.

As for the basis, it is naturally deduced from the hidden losses suffered earlier.

You know, at the height of the "NOISE" alliance that united against Zheru Software, Sun Microsystems agreed to sell the Java license to Zheru Software in order to rapidly expand the use of this new Internet language.

As a result, first of all, Netscape overturned the "vinegar jar" and canceled the plan to use Java to develop a new browser, and the unconcerned Sun Microsystem directly improved its browser program HotJava, which was launched with Java as a demonstration of this programming language, and no longer relied on Netscape.

This phenomenon of turning the other cheek because of changes in interests reflects how loose the so-called "NOISE" alliance is, and when Oracle's own foundation, that is, the database product, has a big problem and has no time to take care of NC, it basically collapses.

And the best note for this ending is that Netscape was bought by Oracle like a rag.

Dead friends do not die poor.

The sun microsystem will not be sad for Netscape's short-lived, and the rules of the game in the mall are like this.

However, when at this year's Zheru Spring Developer Conference, Zheru Software Company came up with its own version of the Java virtual machine and corresponding programming tools, Sun Microsystem suddenly realized that it might have been fooled.

First of all, the version of Java by Zheru Software Company, whether it is enhanced or improved, has changed a bit big, and the implementation is so good that it is comparable to the original creator of Sun Microsystem.

Secondly, in terms of programming and development, in order to adapt to the changes brought about by the Internet, Zheru Software Company has launched three major development environments: enterprise platform, standard platform and mobile platform, and its own new generation of Internet programming language C# has naturally become the protagonist.

At the same time, Java, which has been "optimized", has actually been integrated into the system of Zheru Software and has become the "little brother" of C#.

Thinking about how Sun Microsystem could tolerate his child's "change of surname", he was embarrassed and angry, and sued Zheru Software Company in the District Court of San Jose City, Silicon Valley, on the grounds of violating the original licensing agreement.

At this time when the is not clear, Mr. the richest man who is equivalent to the "big V" of the Internet a few years later in the original time and space, suddenly counted the name Java in disguise too badly, and triggered a petition to change the name of the palace, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

The anxious Sun Microsystem simply took this incident as an opportunity to discover "new incriminating evidence" and brought Tang Huan to the court in San Jose.

Originally, the richest man in the United States just held a meeting with his personal lawyer and the company's legal counsel to talk about how to get rid of this lawsuit.

As a result, David Boyce, lead counsel of the Philip Software Group, which handled the United States of America v. Zheru Software Monopoly case, offered to participate.

At the meeting, David Beuys suggested very seriously: "Don, this controversial incident, although it will not have any real impact on you, does illustrate a problem. That is, everything you say and do is in focus, especially at this delicate and critical stage of the situation. ”

"So, when you speak in public, including when you blog on the Internet, you have to be cautious, and even have to consult with professionals, including PR consultants. ”

Tang Huan did not feel dissatisfied with the constraints planned by David Boyce, as most other high-ranking people did, and felt ~ unjustifiably hindered.

He asked understandingly, "Do you mean that my inappropriate remarks may be collected as evidence in court by those who have a good intention, and they may be brought to court to support the conviction?"

"Don has been the most pleasant client I've ever communicated with in my career as a lawyer!" David Boyce nodded happily, "The dispute between Jerlock Software and Sun Microsystems in the District Court of San Jose is nothing compared to the game between Jerlock Software and the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as the 20 federal states in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit." ”

"In a few days, the top management of Zheru Software, including you, will testify at the request of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia for the Federal Circuit. ”

"When the time comes, every word you say may be interpreted by the lawyers of the Ministry of Justice to launch an attack. ”

"It turned out that David had come all the way to instruct me on how to speak in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit when the time came. The richest man humbly asked, "So, what principles should I have?"

"It's easy to say. David Boyce's eyes flashed with a sly glint in his eyes, "When answering the opposing lawyer's questions, try to be vague with things like 'unclear' or 'forgot', and even if they force you to choose between 'yes' and 'no', don't follow the other party's rules of the game." ”

Tang Huan laughed dumbly when he heard this, "If I pretend to be confused like this, can the prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice and the judge in charge of hearing the case agree?"

"It's your power!" explained David Boyce with confidence, "In any case, it's an infinite number of times better than falling into a language trap that the other party has been orchestrating for an unknown amount of time!"

"Okay. Mr. The richest man nodded kindly, "When the time comes, I will try to be as vague as possible in court, so as not to tell the truth." As for the debate, leave it to professionals like you to deal with it. ”

The following is the anti-D part.,Update it tomorrow.,Just ignore it.。

……

It has to be said that digital games are not exclusive patents - whether to play or not depends on whether there is a profit drive.

What Gerard Levine said about "in the interests of all" is nothing more than - AOL, which has a market value of nearly $160 billion, occupies 55% of the shares of AOL Time Warner Turner, which is equivalent to making the value of this new group more than $300 billion.

There's too much confusion in this.

On the other hand, AOL's market capitalization is almost twice that of Time Warner Turner, but it only occupies 55% of AOL's shares in Time Warner Turner - this phenomenon itself shows to some extent that although Gerard Levine is eager to enter the digital media field through AOL, he is not as blindly optimistic about the value of AOL as it seems on the surface.

Of course, the richest man is not going to be unreasonable—it is enough to be able to establish this principle, and the resources saved are used to compete for more important new positions in the company.

"Then ......" Tang Huan waved his hand: "Let's take advantage of the victory to determine the management structure of the new company." ”

As soon as he mentioned the issue of the distribution of power that had been disputed before, Gerard Levine, who was originally quite amiable, suddenly showed his cunning nature and suggested: "Since AOL occupies 55% of the shares of the new company, then Steve will be the non-executive chairman, and I will be the CEO." ”

Steve Case immediately objected: "I would love to be the chairman of the board of directors of the new company, but I can't accept being put in a false position where I can only do honorary work. ”

Gerard Levine painstakingly advised: "It is completely predictable that the integration of resources in the new company will be an extremely complicated process - you have little experience in the field of traditional media, so don't waste brain cells." ”

Steve Case complained: "Don't you mean that I am young and junior - don't forget who brought out AOL, which is now ranked tenth in market capitalization?" ”

……

Looking at the scene of "every inch of land must be contested" in front of him, Tang Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows - he was still arguing so without any new ideas, and the toss to the Year of the Monkey may not have any results!

So the richest man coughed lightly and interjected: "The position of the chairman of the board and the chief executive officer should be decided as such, and as for the type of chairman of the board of Steve, whether it is executive or non-executive, it is better to put it aside for the time being and discuss the rest first-for example, I propose to create a co-chief operating officer position under the CEO to better facilitate the merger of the future largest media group." ”

"Let's settle down on the easy things to solve first!" Gerard Levine, who was as good as a stream, turned his eyes to Richard Parsons beside him, "Time Warner Turner's side, let's recommend Richard." ”

Richard Parsons was introduced to former Time Warner CEO Steve Ross through Lawrence Rockefeller, the third generation of Rockefeller, and entered Time Warner in the early 1990s.

Don't look at the black people on the TV news who often confront the police, which seems very violent, and the black people in Hollywood movies often chatter endlessly, like a mother, but the black elite who can enter the executive circle is still quite gentle and steady.

Tang Huan has such an experience of employing people - such as Chuck Smith, CEO of Pacific Telecom, Condoleezza Rice, political ~ political adviser, and so on.

Looking at the humble and low-key Richard Parsons, the richest man bowed slightly without objection.

Steve Case said, "AOL, here, has nominated Robert as co-COO. ”

Gerald Levine looked at Robert Pittman and couldn't find a reason to object. After all, the other party is now the CEO of AOL, and he is doing a very good job, so he can't even get into the position of president in the new group.

Mr. The richest man continued to push the agenda forward, "Next, let's talk about the CFO candidate. ”

Gerard Levine quickly picked up: "I think the form of the joint position is very good......

"No!" Tang Huan raised his hand to interrupt the other party: "The position of co-COO was established because it is completely foreseeable that the new group in the future will have an extremely busy peak stage in the operation of integration, and the co-COO can reduce the burden on the CEO, as for the more professional financial management field, there is no such need." ”

Speaking of which, Mr. The richest man looked directly at Gerard Levine, "After all, AOL and Time Warner Turner are mergers, not partitions, right?"

"Okay. Gerald Levine looked away at Zee Rip, the chief financial officer of Time Warner Turner, and was about to make a recommendation, only to be interrupted by Steve Case.

"AOL is currently stockpiling $3 billion in inventory for Internet advertising revenue alone, and in terms of cash flow, AOL is far better than Time Warner Turner. ”

Steve Keys waved his hand and said in an accentuated tone: "I think it is most appropriate for Michael Kelly, the chief financial officer of AOL, to be the chief financial officer of the new group!"

Gerard Levine looked at the look on Steve Case's face, revealing the meaning of "I have a lot more cash in my hand than you, so naturally we will be in charge of the financial management of the new group", his lips moved, but he was speechless.

The CEO of Time Warner Turner was determined because of "information asymmetry".

In terms of seniority, Gerard Levine is a veteran, who worked for HBO, a paid cable and satellite network under his command, back in the days of Time Group, until he rose to the position of CEO of HBO.

During the marriage between Time Group and WarnerMedia, Gerard Levine began to be appreciated by Steve Ross, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a noble person with the grace of support.

There is no unprovoked hatred, no gratuitous love - it is unknown to outsiders how Gerard Lay obtained this creation, and perhaps some kind of like-mindedness can be seen in the fact that he and Steve Ross are both Jews and support the Jewish cause.

However, after Steve Ross died and Gerald Levine was elected CEO by Time Warner, which was mired in infighting for power, the relationship suddenly became a burden.

In terms of public image packaging, all the reports about the M&A between Time Group and WarnerMedia have invariably praised Steve Ross as "charismatic, energetic, and entrepreneurial", while Gerard Levine has described it as rather boring, concise, groveling, and mature.

Regarding the death of Steve Rose, Gerard Levine once lamented: "I have lost a loyal friend, a good colleague and a good partner. ”

Even after taking office as Time Warner's CEO, Gerard Levine stated in a public statement, "Now, I just want Time Warner's success to be part of Steve Ross's legacy." ”
