Regarding Netscape's submission of an antitrust complaint to the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, Mr. Manifuman's reaction can only be described as "diaphragm". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this is not enough to work his great power, and he immediately puts down his business and goes home.

Tang Huan only made a few instructions:

First of all, focus on the "NOISE" alliance of Oracle, the insidious guy hiding behind, there are two fronts, namely the hardware NC and the software database.

This year, with the summer vacation approaching, in addition to the usual Hollywood blockbusters, there are also PC promotions that are extraordinarily popular. The spearhead is directed at NC, vowing to force the other party into the corner of "electronic waste".

In the war on databases, it is not enough to rely on "cost performance".

Gaine, the ecological chain of the database is roughly divided into several levels.

At the bottom are databases such as EBase, Oracle, Sybase, and DB2, or database management systems, which are the "backend" of the application architecture.

Next to the upper layer are various programming languages such as C/C++, Pascal, Basic and so on - although the relational database management system has a standard configuration language such as SQL, the goal of its operation is mainly for various objects in the database, and it is certainly not comparable to the programming language that can control more computer resources in terms of function.

The development tools that support these programming languages are the "front-end" as opposed to the "back-end" database, and they also have a fashionable name - visual rapid application development.

The Zerone_Development_Workshop of Zheru Software and Microsoft's Microsoft_Visual_Studio are all popular visual rapid application development tools at this stage.

Database vendors that have developed from mainframe platforms often don't have such visual rapid application development tools - at most, they provide a reporting tool that displays the data from SQL queries in the form of tables.

Take Sybase as an example, in order to make up for this shortcoming, it acquired a visual rapid application development tool, and after a little packaging, launched PowerBuilder.

Oracle also has shortcomings in visual rapid application development tools.

The top layer of the database ecological chain is the data management system of financial computerization, purchase, sales and inventory, human resource management, etc., which directly interacts with operators through the software graphical interface.

As for the companies that provide such specific information solutions, there are countless companies, such as Renke Software, which flew out of Zheru, and SAP, which originated in Germany, are prestigious for a long time.

Obviously, the kind of databases these companies support has a significant impact on the market share of EBase, Oracle, Sybase, and DB2.

Tang Huan asked to focus on cracking down on Oracle's database business, that is, to start from two aspects: visual rapid application development tools and information management systems.

Next, Netscape can't let it go - it's just that it can't focus on the traces, so as not to pretend to be a pitiful other party and further brush up sympathy points.

Tang Huan's request is that Netscape doesn't want to enter the enterprise Internet market? Then let it not find a chance to cross the threshold at all, and can only lie on the browser market, and finally "starve to death"!

In addition, we should also find opportunities to "disintegrate" the smug "NOISE" alliance.

In this regard, compared to picking up the guy and attacking head-on, it is not so operational. Gaine, which will certainly involve a complex exchange of interests, and even the potential risk of disrupting the existing Down's IT ecosystem.

After all, the reason why the "NOISE" alliance was able to take shape was to some extent because its members belonged to the remnants of Tang IT's elimination -- and now that they have been brought together, the previous concerns such as "not getting along" and "indigestion" still exist.

However, everyone understands that the dismantling of the "NOISE" alliance will not happen overnight, so there is still patience.

……

The richest man was discussing the "diplomatic relations" of the IT world on a conference call, and the secretary reported that Kissinger had been contacted.

Tang Huan approached Kissinge, not to ask the other party to give advice to the current chaos in the software industry, but for other things.

In fact, Tang Huan was a longtime client of the former US Secretary of State -- Gelsinger's achievements were not limited to the well-known special envoy in the process of establishing diplomatic relations between China and the United States, but he was also involved in many other major international affairs of the United States, such as the Vietnam War, the Bangladesh War, the East Timor War, the Fourth Middle East War, the military coup d'état of Augusto Pinochet in Chile in Latin America, relations between the United States and Cuba, the military dictatorship in Argentina, and the Bush War in Rhodesia, Africa, and so on.

After the death of former US President Nichisun, Kissinger, who was not involved in the "Watergate scandal", can be said to be the most active and influential former member of the cabinet.

Many multinational companies, including Zheru and Fang Yuan, inevitably listen to the opinions of senior people like Gelsinger when assessing the impact of international political~political relations on business activities.

The richest man clicked the button, connected with Kissinge, and after a few brief greetings, he turned to the topic and said: "Dr. Henry, there is something that needs your professional knowledge to help - the next work of the series of movies "007" is about to be produced, and the producer wants to gain popularity. ”

Don't look at the old age, Kissinge still has a clear mind and reacts quickly, he immediately took over with a smile: "Didn't the screenwriter take a fancy to the fact that China is about to resume the exercise of sovereignty over Xiangjiang?" ”

"The Doctor guessed it." Tang Huan also smiled, "You also know that there is no need to take commercial risks to test some political ~ political bottom lines, I hope that the doctor can give them some authoritative opinions." ”

After the success of "GoldenEye", the producers of "007" naturally had some ambitions in the subject matter to attract more attention.

The richest man didn't have time to instruct his subordinates on what to do so that they wouldn't cross the line, and it was easy to get the truth out, so he simply let Kissinge, a veteran actor on the international diplomatic stage, check it - being able to invite such a big name to participate in the production will inevitably be conducive to the hype of the movie, and this indifferent consulting fee can also further promote the "incense love" between the two sides!

When Kissinger heard that business had come to his door, he was very happy, and he also showed a very strong interest, and immediately agreed quickly: "Tang, don't worry, I will definitely help "007" and grasp the political ~ political scale that will not affect the box office. ”

"Of course I believe in the doctor's authority." After Tang Huan complimented the other party a few words, he turned to laugh and talk about the many countries he had encountered, and he was awarded medals intensively.

In this matter, the United Kingdom, which has a definite result, has released rumors to the outside world, and other countries are still in the communication stage, so they are also in the stage of "secrecy", so as not to be caught by the media and cause complications.

After learning about these circumstances, Kissinger praised with emotion: "This phenomenon shows that Tang's contribution to the world has been highly recognized by those countries, which is really gratifying." ”

Think about it, as long as it doesn't involve the sensitive issue of "allegiance", who can care about how many kinds of national honors the richest man reaps?

……

After the conversation with Kissinge, Tang Huan picked up a document on the desk, gave a few instructions, and then called the assistant and instructed: "The name of the latest "007" movie was mistaken in the fax process - I think there is a mistake, and the name is good now, so let's keep it; As for other aspects, it is better to further gather professional opinions and polish them carefully. ”

The latest "007", which is scheduled to be released next year, will be designed to make the media tycoon a villain who tries to control the world and deprive mankind of his freedom~, so the title of the film refers to the format of the Beatles song "Tomorrow_Never_Knows", which is set as "Tomorrow_Never_Lies", which translates to "Tomorrow will never lie", and this "tomorrow" refers to the newspaper of the same name in the movie.

As a result, in the process of passing the relevant documents seven times and eight times, I don't know who was so careless and turned "Tomorrow_Never_Lies" into "Tomorrow_Never_Dies".

The richest man is too lazy to pursue the problem of work attitude, and the right to think that this movie is the fate of what is to be called "Tomorrow_Never_Dies" - "Tomorrow's Empire".

As for the possible delay caused by reducing the political ~ political risk, Tang Tycoon doesn't care too much, anyway, "Titanic" will catch up with the summer file of 1997 as scheduled, and "Tomorrow's Empire" will be put in the Christmas file at the end of next year, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise because of avoiding its edge.

Tang Huan continued: "In addition, if they want to invite a well-known Chinese actress to be the Bond Girl, they don't have to worry about Lin Qingfang, one is that she has starred in "007" before, and then she is not very interested - anyway, DreamWorks can provide a lot of choice, and there is time to choose, so choose slowly." ”

……

After the affairs at hand were almost handled, the richest man sat on Silicon Valley No. 1 and came to Russia.

On the surface, his visit was to communicate about Russia's awarding of national honors to him, but in fact it was mainly to help someone change his circle.

This year, not only the United States is busy with the quadrennial elections, but Russia is also undergoing power changes at various levels.

Take St. Petersburg, the second most populous city in Russia, as an example, there are a few joys and some sorrows under the changing situation.

Unfortunately, the former mayor Anatoly Alexandrovich Sobchak was defeated by his political opponents in the election by a small margin of 1.2%, and as the most effective follower of his mentor, Pu Jing suddenly lost room for rise in his career.

Sobchak's defeat cannot be entirely attributed to his own incompetence and that of his team, but rather to a lack of experience.

Don't be naïve enough to think that the campaign is as perfect as its concept describes; In fact, humans can "play bad" with everything that is otherwise good.

On the one hand, the election campaign is marked to show who has the ability to do things and work for the well-being of everyone, so that he can get the most votes and win; On the other hand, it is to see who has fewer scandals and a relatively lower degree of annoyance.

In the era of developed Internet self-media 20 years later, the well-known mutual smear between Silari and Telangpu is the most vivid example.

Sobchak's years as mayor of St. Petersburg coincided with the craziest phase of privatization in Russia. The entanglements of interests involved in this can be said to be innumerable -- as long as he does something, he will fall into the grip and then become a "cannonball" that will be attacked by his political ~ political opponents in this year's election.

In this case, it is natural that whoever is the most vicious and unscrupulous will have the last laugh and enjoy the fruits of victory.

As Sobchak's right-hand man, Pu Jing was able to get the light of "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", but now he also has to eat the bitter fruit of "the tree falls and the dog scatters".

In other words, there is no place for Pujing in St. Petersburg, and there is no way to continue to mingle, and even Sobchak may not be able to protect himself.

The reason is clear -- in the process of privatization carried out in Russia over the years, who dares to say that he has not stretched out his hand, and that he is clean and flawless?

There are already rumors that in the future, Sobchak is very likely to be liquidated by his political ~ political opponents.

This year, Sobchak is almost 60 years old, and of course he can only seek self-preservation and not self-improvement; But Pu Jing is only 3 years older than Tang Huan, only 44 years old, which is the golden age of his career.

Therefore, at this time, Pu Jing had no choice but to change circles and start mixing again, and the water flowed to a low place, and people went to a high place, and his next stop could only be Moscow.

In this case, let's go through the relationship.

Through his own connections, Pu Jing found a job as a deputy director of the Russian President's Property Management Office and did some odd jobs. For example, some domestic and foreign assets from the Soviet era were transferred to Russia.

You must know that Pu Jing was the No. 2 person in St. Petersburg before, but now he has become an errand runner, and the loss in his heart can be imagined.

Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Mr. the richest man, who is anxious for justice and righteousness, is here this time to help Pu Jing frame his work results, so that he can enter the inner circle of Russian President Karma Chin as soon as possible.

When they met, Tang Huan not only noticed the depression that Pu Jing tried his best to hide, but also found that Sobchak had a sick face, so he specially asked.

Sobchak sighed, "I went to the hospital and diagnosed, heart disease." ”
