"Usually the pressure of work is so great, and the health problem can not be ignored. The richest man shook his head with regret on his face, "Isn't President Yeltsin also suffering from heart disease?" ”

Tang Huan said this very tactfully -- Russian men's habit of drinking two sips when they have nothing to do on weekdays is well known, but Yeltsin is no longer in the realm of "drinking two sips when there is nothing to do", but he has drunk so much that he has become dependent on alcohol, and he even ignores diplomatic occasions.

For example, Bill Collinton's gaffe at the inauguration ceremony of the US president in 1993 and the humiliating wait of Irish Prime Minister Albert Reynolds outside the plane in 1994 without getting a meeting were all drunken and troublesome, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were "diplomatic accidents".

Anatoly Alexandrovich Sobchak's eating habits were not much better than Yeltsin's.

Speaking of this, the richest man suggested in a deep voice: "Otherwise, you should take advantage of this time in the wilderness to go to Western European countries with more developed medical conditions and have a good rest." ”

Tang Huan said this, which is also very tactful, and the real meaning inside is to let Sobchak go abroad to avoid the limelight, and because of the political ~ political liquidation against him, there is already a very inextricable posture.

"There may be a problem with my passport. Sobchak's wry answer also somewhat reflected the embarrassment of his current situation.

However, a political veteran like Sobchak will definitely not be tied down, and he must have a plan in mind to deal with it.

I saw him ask instead: "Tang, do you think that President Karmaqin can successfully win the second round of voting and be re-elected?"

The richest man immediately understood that the other party was pinning his hopes on Karma Chin to continue to stay on the stage in order to suppress the signs of political reckoning in Russia.

I have to say that a reformist like Sobchak is quite concerned about the way he makes moves.

Tang Huan replied firmly: "Perhaps, the process is a little thrilling, but the result is definitely satisfactory." ”

In addition to being severely constrained by his own heart disease, Karma Chin's political ~ political career has also been spurned in terms of public opinion - the phenomenon of near-zero approval rating at the beginning of this year illustrates this problem.

The reason is very simple, in the past few years that Karma Chin has been the president of Russia, it can be said that the people's livelihood has withered, and the people's lives are not as good as they were in the Soviet Union, how can they still be willing to support him!

However, the social reality is cruel - Russia's voice is not in the hands of the poor, but in the hands of the minority who have made a fortune from the privatization process.

This kind of rich people, who were originally called "oligarchs" a few years later, found that once Karma Qin stepped down, there would be no people with enough political ~ political energy to protect their vested interests on the stage, so they took Karma Qin, who was not in good health, to participate in this year's presidential election and provide various supports.

To put it bluntly, these people are determined not to allow the Russian Communist Party to come to power. Although compared with the previous version, this faction has undergone earth-shaking changes in the political ~ governance program, but their ass is not sitting on their side.

As a result, the first round of voting was extremely fiercely contested -- Karma Chin, who ran as an independent candidate, received more than 26.66 million votes, or 35.8 percent, while Gennady Zyuganov, the representative elected by the Russian Communist Party, received more than 24.21 million votes, or 32.5 percent.

This shows how close the "support" of the two sides is.

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

Looking at those new .com domain names registered in one go, the number of which is more than his son, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh, because there are also Yahoo - yahoo.com, Amazon - Amazon.com such as Yahoo, Amazon, etc., although the pioneer of the business entity has been established, but because the commercial value and prospects are still to be seen, and for the time being, he has not taken care of the .com domain name he registered.

The dignified Mr. the richest man, preemptively registering the .com domain name of the little shrimps, is inevitably suspected of being unkind - in fact, he is not a heart, after drawing a circle, it is his subordinates to implement it, and he can only blame Yang Zhiyuan and Jeff Bezos for being slow to act, either the company has not yet been established, or the company has not evolved to this name.

Tang Huan, who personally participates in angel investment activities at least once a quarter, has long been familiar with the website information retrieval service "Jerry's_Guide_to_the_World_Wide_Web", that is, "Jerry's Internet Guide", which runs on a computer in a student apartment at Stanford University.

Its founders, David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan, who are still graduate students, belong to private work behind the back of their bosses.

As Tang Huan predicted at last year's COMDEX Las Vegas Fall Show, the number of World Wide Web websites this year has increased by more than 10 times to more than 10,000 -- and if this trend continues, it will exceed 100,000 next year.

The World Wide Web, which has no licensing fees, has proliferated the number of websites, but it has also brought confusion to Internet users.

It is estimated that the bosses of David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan were so generous that they had the leisure to compile an index of these sites for other Internet users to use, and then stepped on the drumbeat of the times by chance, and the number of hits was about to exceed 1 million due to their popularity.

As a result, "Jerry's Web Guide" was changed to the catchy "Yahoo", and in order to distinguish it from the registered trademark "Yahoo" of existing products such as barbecue sauce and knives, it was added with an exclamation point and changed to "Yahoo!", but I forgot to pay $100 to register "yahoo.com".

I have to say that smart people often have a hundred secrets, or when people are poor and short-sighted.

It's not hard to imagine that Yahoo now, in terms of technology, doesn't have much gold content, and is a software "database" that can be customized and can update the website's index information at any time.

It is no exaggeration to say that for Yahoo, who has only shown sharp corners of Xiaohe, the richest man with too much capital, whether he looks down on it or replaces it, there is nothing to say.

However, he still quietly watched this little seedling, growing up according to his instinct with natural ecology. Guy, Yahoo's great thing is that it inherently contains a new and viable mode of operation.

Of course, the richest man owns AOL, but the AOL's model does not represent the entire Internet and the World Wide Web.

Although AOL is not as qualified as its competitors in the online services field, it certainly has no problem being older than Yahoo. It came to the fore in 1983 when the ARPA network was divided into military and civilian parts, and TCP/IP began to become a universal protocol.

Due to the lack of resources in the era of Internet pioneering, the operation mode of such online services has been to try to provide all the Internet access content by themselves from the beginning, and to lease network lines on a large scale, or even build their own network lines, to become Internet_Service_Provider Internet service providers, that is, ISPs.

In contrast to AOL's "hard" model, which keeps users in circles, Yahoo represents a "soft" path to provide navigation capabilities for the portal because the Internet resources have begun to explode so much that users are at a loss for what to do.

Yahoo's main job is to set up servers, maintain its own "website database", and provide an attractive navigation page that takes up the entry point to the Internet with countless websites, without having to rent lines and control users to its own website.

To put it more lofty, or even politically ~ more correct, Yahoo represents freedom~ freedom and openness, and truly explains the spiritual essence of the Internet.

Of course, this does not mean that AOL is on the wrong path, but Yahoo is on the right path -- the different stages of the development of the Internet have contributed to different road trade-offs and operational characteristics.

Moreover, AOL still represents the mainstream at this stage - Yahoo's website navigation directory is in the front row, and it must have its place.

Under Tang Huan's guidance, AOL has embraced the World Wide Web many times faster than its competitors in online services, and it can be said that its path has always been "right".

But it is impossible to make AOL one step more "correct" and switch to the model of a portal. Not to mention that the portal model has just emerged, it is impossible to part with AOL's existing content resources alone. The online service model has been "correct" into its genes, and it can only fine-tune its own direction with the development of the Internet.

In this case, the value of the incomparably new Yahoo to the richest man is reflected - it can not only meet the layout of not putting eggs in one basket, but also greatly reduce the cost of mastering the portal model.

As for the value of David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan, the two graduate students, they are similar to James Cameron, who is dedicated to filming "Titanic", and the persistence in his bones is not easy to find.

You must know that with the strength of only two people, it is a manual work to organize the information of thousands of websites into an indexing service, but it is definitely not possible without enthusiasm.

Tang Huan casually opened the Yahoo page on his computer, and couldn't help but smile to himselfβ€”the server in David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan's apartment was probably overwhelmed and about to strike.

Meng Jing, the little cousin who was sorting out the information on the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes after seeing Tang Huan's scheming and complacent expression, "Brother, you have preemptively registered so many .com domain names, aren't you afraid that others will say that you will bully the small?"

"Silly girl, with these domain names, we can virtually try not to miss any fish in the layout. Tang Huan laughed, "When someone comes over to inquire about the transfer of a domain name, it is equivalent to an event trigger in the program, and I don't know how much effort is saved." ”

Meng Jing nodded suddenly, "Then you have chanted Yahoo's name several times, are you planning to catch this fish that slipped through the net?"

"Yahoo isn't a fish that slipped through the net, it's a fish in my pool. Tang Huan replied playfully: "By the way, Yahoo has almost more than 1 million hits, it is estimated that David Ferro and Yang Zhiyuan, two poor graduate students, should also have an idea of the commercial value of the work they are interested in. ”

"Got it. Meng Jing agreed, and then handed over a document, "This year's COMDEX Las Vegas Autumn Show is really a rare competition, not to mention that there are more Sony Playstations in the field of home TV game consoles, and just Polestar, a browser software from Zheru Software Company, Polaris, has new competitors." ”

Tang Huan looked at the document and said calmly: "This Netscape - Netscape I know that Jim Clark, who ran away from Silicon Valley Graphics, invested $4 million to establish a small start-up company - the browser market, there are not many of them, and there are not many of them. ”

"You've repeatedly stressed to us that the competition on the Internet platform is free of charge. Meng Jing reminded: "Compared to Polestar, which is a commercial software and temporarily implements it for free in the name of promotion, now Netscape_Navigator Netscape Navigator has no hesitation in positioning itself as a shareware as soon as the official version of 1.0 is launched, which is really free, which is not comparable to other competitors." ”

"Polestar is technologically ahead and has a first-mover advantage in market share, so it's not afraid of Netscape_Navigator disruptions. Tang Huan waved his hand relaxedly, "Netscape_Navigator want to grab market share by relying on clean and free means, then I can also spend money to buy others to use Polestar in the form of package promotions and secret subsidies for multiple software products." ”

Meng Jingwan said: "Brother, you have to pay attention, although Zheru Software has been spun off and has reached an anti-monopoly settlement with the Federal Ministry of Justice, there are still people staring at it - it is too domineering and easy to fall into the handle." ”
