It must be admitted that the hardware system NC and the software platform Netscape Browser looked at each other and were out of the script in Tang Huan's memory, but he was not too surprised.

It can only be said that Tang IT is too powerful, and invisibly, it has driven some competitors into the same corner, and of course it will spontaneously hold together.

"Perhaps, it's more convenient to put them all on one plate!" After Tang Huan muttered to himself, his eyes turned to a character interview behind.

The report enthusiastically introduced Mark Anderson, Netscape's executive vice president, as a "child prodigy" who relied on his own efforts to go from a country kid to an Internet trender.

After Tang Huan finished a quick brow, he put the magazine aside.

Judging from his experience, this is Netscape building momentum for the IPO, and there is no need to waste time taking it seriously.

Although the fierce competition in the industry reflected in the report of "PC_World" is very important, it does not immediately make Tang Huan move to personally deploy countermeasures, after all, he has a large number of senior executives under him.

Therefore, Tang Huan rethought about the possible "pig killing" action that Wall Street might take against Silicon Valley under the bull market.

At the end of the day, when Wall Street insists on taking away its immediate profits, it will conflict with long-term managers.

Take Fangyuan Company as an example, the performance of the handheld computer has always been unsatisfactory, but Tang Huan and John Chambers have been patiently cultivating; If you follow the temperament of Wall Street and change to a new person at the helm, it is very likely that you will cut it immediately for the sake of good financial statements.

In addition, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, which is targeted by Wall Street, can make money immediately if it really spins off the communication equipment, but at the same time, the two have also lost the irreplaceable long-term business advantage when integrating resources.

Originally, in time and space, Wall Street in this period was a one-stop circle of money for spin-offs, speculation, packaging, and listings, rather than helping companies do a good job.

Take the American Telephone and Telegraph Company as an example, after it spun off a Lucents business in telecommunications equipment, it carried out a second split, which was split into four companies: long-distance telephone, mobile telephone, cable television, and broadband telecommunications.

If this routine is applied to Fangyuan companies that also rank in the top ten in terms of market capitalization, it is completely foreseeable that the next outcome will be almost the same!

Without a rapport with Wall Street, he would not have been able to sit in the position of the richest man for so many years.

But if something like AT&T happens, what should you do?

……

After Tang Huan returned to Silicon Valley, he was planning to go to Hewlett-Packard headquarters to visit the door, but he got an industry news - Sun Microsystems announced the official launch of Java technology; Around the same time, Netscape announced that its browser products would support Java technology.

Look at this stance, another alliance has formed.

In all fairness, Tang Huan doesn't like Java at this stage, but he still can't resist the trend of concept hype in the Internet era, which has spawned an aggressive trend - the richest man is also afraid of possible panic!

"Recently, Sun Microsystems and Netscape have been interacting a lot, probably to discuss Java technology." Charles Simeone speculated.

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" for existing products such as barbecue sauce and knives, an exclamation point was added to the end and changed to "Yahoo! But I just forgot to spend $100 to sign up for "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 to inquire about the transfer of the domain name, it is equivalent to an event trigger on 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's hits are about to exceed 1 million, 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. After this busy time, arrange for everyone to come to a meeting. ”

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

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 is temporarily free in the name of promotion, now Netscape_Navigator Netscape Navigator has no hesitation to position itself as a shareware as soon as the official version of 1.0 is launched, which is really free, which is menacing and 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 through multiple software product package promotions and secret subsidies." ”

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." ”
