Jobs also did not want to see Bill Gates, although there were also intersections and cooperation, but he has always scoffed at Microsoft's products.

Chen Bo grew up listening to Bill Gates' stories, but as a professional IT person, he doesn't have much affection for Microsoft, there are too many bugs and a bunch of slots. Windows is like a pair of open crotch pants full of holes, but most users have been kidnapped by Microsoft, and you still have to wear them, and it is really normal for the Internet to look down on traditional software companies, even if your name is Microsoft or Cisco.

Hotmail and MSN are also foes and foes to Fox live and Foxmail. There are still a lot of intersections between these two people.

"Steve, you'd better take a picture for me." Ellison added, "I appreciate your approach to art. ”

"Why don't you let me try, Steve's body needs to rest." Chen Bomao then recommended himself.

"You're finally getting ready for surgery? That's not quite your character. Ellison is not stupid, he also knows something about his old friend's condition, but he knows his stubborn and stinky temper, and Chen Bo understands the reason as soon as he says this.

"What are you two doing here? I'm just going to get ready for surgery, and I'm not dead yet! It's just a matter of taking a picture, I can still hold the camera. Jobs blew his beard and glared dissatisfied.

However, although Lao Qiao is stubborn, he can't resist the temper of these two stubborn donkeys, and the combination of these two people is also a perfect match, one is an Asian Chinese, one is a Russian Jew, and the other is a descendant of the Middle East who believes in Buddhism.

After all, Chen Bo is a photography enthusiast, and it is not a problem to take some portrait photos, but Jobs asked for the role of a part-time photography technical consultant for a witness, so he gave up.

Although Ellison is an old bastard who even dares to dig through Microsoft's dustbin, he is a tyrant in Silicon Valley circles like Steve Jobs, no one dares to brush his beard in the company, and he has very few friends outside the company. But it does not prevent Chen Bo from appreciating some of him, although they have little business intersection.

It was the first time for him to participate in a Western wedding, and he had no experience at all, and this kind of occasion was just another form of party, Chen Bo began to automatically search for female companions who could help him in his mind.

Julie? No, although the domestic news was only exposed for one day and was suppressed, the American media's sense of smell is so sensitive, how can they let it go, there have already been some reports chasing after the wind and shadows, but they can't just go to this thunder.

It's not appropriate for someone like Nicole Kidman to be unfamiliar and old enough to be his aunt. Avril is that a little crazy girl, Scarlett? doesn't seem to know where to hide to film, she is a complete crew maniac.

wants to find someone of a similar age, who can complement each other, and who still has face, there is really nothing in the entertainment industry, and he doesn't know a few Hollywood people, everyone else knows him. After searching in the brain database for a long time, I finally remembered a person, the corners of Chen Bo's mouth raised, it was her!

"Marisa, what have you been up to lately?" Chen Bo dialed Mayer's phone.

"If you're here to spy on intelligence, I'll advise you to die of this heart." Mayer wondered why he called her, but he hadn't let his guard down.

"Seems like I'm worried about it!" Chen Bo smiled on the phone, "I'm going to a wedding next week, you can be my female companion." ”

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds before a good word came out, and then a busy beep came back.

Ellison, the old fellow, has offended everyone who should be offended, even Larry Page, who is also a Jew and claims not to be evil, has nothing to say under his big mouth. Imagine how exciting it would be for a Google executive to go to a villain's wedding with a competitor who bashes his boss.

Of course, he is not idle in Silicon Valley every day, and the company's affairs still have to be asked.

After the acquisition, DoubleClick has become a money-absorbing machine, and in just a few months, Ant Search's advertising business revenue in North America has doubled several times, from one or two million dollars per month before, to more than $8 million per month now, if you add the promotion expenses pre-deposited by the funders, the cash flow in North America alone has reached an astonishing $150 million, which is much better than the previous days of poor dicks.

The increase in advertising revenue is only one aspect, the most important thing is that the market share of Ant Search is growing, which benefits from the high traffic brought by several powerful fist products, coupled with the addition of Ant Public Welfare and Wikipedia has also indirectly promoted Ant's brand effect.

Despite the booming North American market, there are only a dozen servers located in Toronto, Lake Ontario, and many more servers are all built in Iceland, an island country where the Atlantic and Arctic oceans meet.

The main reason is that there are unique conditions there, and the heat emitted by the massive servers is also amazing, and the temperature here is low all year round, even in summer under the influence of the Atlantic Ocean Warm Current, it is only about 7-12 degrees, and a simple wind tunnel can cool the computer room, and the rest only needs to maintain the proportion of humidity to save a lot of air conditioning costs.

Coupled with local electricity, taxes, laws, infrastructure and other factors, the local government is also planning to build a 19,000-square-meter data fortress in Keflavik, a satellite city 40 kilometers away from the capital Reykjavík. Ant Search is not the first company to enter the market, with BMW, Volkswagen and other companies preparing to move their company databases here.

There is also the fact that I don't want to be supervised by the U.S. government, although the lighthouse country claims to be free on the surface, there are a lot of actions in private, although I haven't made a move now, who knows if there will be in the future, and it is the best choice to put it in a third-party country.

And the cost of the server does not have to worry, you can pay in installments, because what he needs is not hundreds, thousands, but customized levels of more than 100,000 units. You produce slowly, I pay slowly, this price, of course, whoever gives the lower I use. IBM and HP have launched a strong competition, and Dell and Lenovo have taken small orders.

It's not that they don't want to use Lenovo, it's just that their server products are too poor, and there are only two companies that do servers in China, Inspur and Lenovo. The server is not just a piece of hardware that is assembled together, but also needs the matching of related systems, with Windows server, which are ordinary companies, such as storing such a large amount of data, you need to use a more professional software system.

If you have money in your pocket, you have to buy and buy, and the growth history of each company is a history of acquisitions, either horizontal mergers and acquisitions, or vertical development.

In the spirit of rich and capricious rhythm, now Chen Bo has set his sights on several companies and is preparing to take these pieces of fat.

“Netflix？ Netflix? DVD rental website. Chen Bo knocked on the table, thought for a moment, and then asked Alisa, "What is the current market value?" ”

"It's about $70 million, but it's $98 million in debt, and it has 1.65 million paid members, which is the type of insolvency. The competitor is the long-established video rental company Pepsi, which has more than 9,000 stores worldwide and a market value of $16.5 billion. It is worth noting that Hastings, the founder of Netflix, once went to Blockbuster to talk about selling the company for $50 million before going public, but was ruthlessly kicked out by the assistant to the president. Alyssa told the truth about the information she had gathered.

"It's interesting that they have an anonymous rating system." Chen Bo looked at the information in hand, nodded and said, "Help me make an appointment with Hastings to see when it is available, the address should not be far away, right?" ”

"In Para Otto." Alyssa replied.

Don't underestimate DVD rental, which seems to be a low-minded business in China, but in the United States, it is completely the opposite, and Hollywood's film industry income is divided into three aspects. One-third is directly contributed by the box office, and the other 20% is DVD rental and TV broadcast rights, and before there was no DVD, of course, it was video tape rental.

This is mainly due to the sound copyright protection mechanism, a genuine version will be sold for dozens of dollars, but if you rent it, it is generally 5 US dollars to watch for three days, and the price of buying a genuine version can be good at several movies, so this business has a history of decades in the United States.

Of course, Chen Bo didn't want to get involved in this traditional business, he took a fancy to Netflix's membership mechanism and anonymous rating system, which was to make a layout for the video website in advance. Judges will definitely have questions, why not just build a video website such as YouTube, why not just throw out a black technology such as a VR system to kill a group of IT companies, and laugh proudly.

The answer is obvious, all application products need technical support, including all factors, and if the conditions are not mature, it will only die if it is half-baked.

In 95, someone proposed the concept of streaming media and tried to do it, but it takes hundreds of hours to watch a movie from the website and the network speed can't keep up. This is an insurmountable technical obstacle, and it is impossible to lay optical fiber, and the cost is difficult for a country to bear in the short term.

Even if it is a smartphone operating system, it also needs the development of mobile communication technology to be able to roll out, and now 3G is just emerging, and the market profits of feature phones have not yet been grabbed, so these companies will not be in a hurry.

Behind every scientific and technological product contains hundreds of technical patents, Chen Bo has a golden finger, but he is definitely not a fairy, and a taken for granted idea also needs to be constantly improved before it can finally take shape.

Netflix is in line with the development law of video websites, and it is not a pure rental business, it is closer to technology companies, so this idea was moved. The spirit of the Internet is tossing and subverting tradition, and Chen Bo is using this to break the shackles.

"Red, you can contact Keyhole, a company that specializes in satellite reality maps, and is still in Mountain View, which is no stranger to you." Chen Bo handed over a piece of information in his hand to Hoffman, "Electronic maps are a key entrance to the future, and I won't hide it from you, the research and development of map search algorithms has already begun in the Huaxia market, and I now need an American data company with mapping qualifications." ”
