……

The current situation is too complicated -- if you do nothing, you may be scolded for being ruthless, if you do not do well, you may be scolded for being in vain, and if you do too well, you may offend certain interest groups and you may be scolded for meddling.

Therefore, Mr. The richest man does not want to be influenced by public opinion, or even kidnapped, so he tries to keep a low profile, even if his own media such as Media Asia TV, Xiangcheng Radio, Ming Pao Group, and Phoenix Satellite TV Network do not accept interviews.

After seeing Zhuang Menghua, Meng Jing and others, Tang Huan first opened his mouth to confirm one thing, "Peregrine and his gang are all highly respected elites in the financial circle, especially Liang Botao, who has helped Li Bancheng raise shares and raise funds, and they have a close relationship with each other - can't they help them in this critical moment?"

"You're not the only big boss on this side of Xiangjiang who is busy protecting his foundation - Qinhe and the first family. Zhuang Menghua asked rhetorically, "Do you know what the current stock price of Li Bancheng's Changshi and Rong Zhijian's CITIC is?"

Tang Huan shrugged, "I'm not interested in them, how can I have time to pay attention?"

The little cousin Meng Jing took over, "Let me tell you -- the share price of Cheung Kong has fallen from HK$98 to HK$28, and the share price of CITIC Pacific has fallen from HK$53 to HK$9." ”

"What you mean is that these local Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang are too busy to take care of themselves. Tang Huan frowned, "What about internationally?"

"I found it too. Zhuang Menghua nodded, "Last month, Peregrine announced the introduction of Zurich Center Group as a strategic shareholder, and it will invest 200 million US dollars to subscribe - but the destructive power of the Asian financial turmoil is too serious, and Peregrine has lost as much as 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in stocks alone, so the other party retreated." ”

"In this way, it is unlikely that there is a cat in it. Tang Huan muttered: "Then what do you think, how should you win Peregrine?"

"Of course, waiting for it to be liquidated. Zhuang Menghua smiled slightly, "If you can't wait, then you can also coordinate with Peregrine's shareholders and the SAR government ~ government to speed up the processing." And a whole set of teams, including Liang Botao, should also be able to accept most of them. ”

"It seems that the New Year's Day of 1998 will be spent in Xiangjiang. Tang Huan sighed, "You've worked hard too—but let's hurry up." ”

……

Next, Mr. the richest man will definitely meet Chief Executive Dong Jianhua. And the other party's first sentence asked with a wry smile: "I don't know how long this financial turmoil will end?"

Tang Huan pondered and replied, "It's hard to say - international speculators are almost invincible, so they are naturally very unwilling to Xiangjiang's meal in their eyes, and then in order to divide the winner, why should they continue to fight until the second half of the year." ”

As soon as he heard this, Dong Jianhua's face became even more bitter -- his first chief executive was too unpleasant, and Xiangjiang was originally a small temple with "a lot of things," but as a result, he caught up with the unprecedented Asian financial turmoil.

The richest man quipped: "Just look at it, stretching out your head is a knife, shrinking your head is also a knife - it's just a battle!"

Dong Jianhua nodded thoughtfully, and in turn joked: "Mr. the richest man, he came to Xiangjiang at a critical point in this turbulent period, it should be specifically to send charcoal in the snow, right?"

Tang Huan said frankly: "I must always be worthy of the Great Bauhinia Medal and do what I can." ”

Dong Jianhua was slightly stunned unexpectedly, and then asked with a happy brow: "Then you came to me this time, do you need any cooperation?"

"There's something that really needs to bother you. The richest man bowed slightly, "Isn't Peregrine hopeless?" It just so happens that I need such a platform with abundant manpower, skilled operation, diligence and outside the system to operate the intake of blue chips in such a downturn in the Hang Seng Index, so as to stabilize the Hong Kong stock market as much as possible, and I hope that the SAR government ~ government can help one or two. ”

Dong Jianhua, who was in his heart, immediately nodded and said: "The SAR government~government will immediately appoint an independent ~ committee to supervise the liquidation of Peregrine. ”

……

With the assistance of the authorities, Peregrine's liquidation process progressed much faster.

In addition to those shareholders, Tang Huan also deliberately communicated openly and honestly with Peregrine staff, including Liang Botao.

When the time came to mid-January 1998, the context was basically clear--Peregrine Investment, which had been liquidated, was replaced by TrareHK Investment.

……

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

……

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 himself—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." ”
