DILLAY WAS ECSTATIC WHEN HE GOT THE NEWS, AND HE IMMEDIATELY PLANNED TO DRAG THE DEAL UNTIL YAHOO WENT PUBLIC, SO THAT BOTH BIDDERS WOULD HAVE PLENTY OF AMMUNITION.

"Risky."

In his office at the president of the American music website, Alicia reminded: "YAHOO IS NOW A SMALL HEADQUARTERS, THEY CAN EASILY MOVE AND THEY DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO FIGHT FOR A PIECE OF LAND WITH KILSI, A VETERAN SOFTWARE MOGUL, WHO IS WELL AWARE OF KIL'S BAD INTENTIONS." What do you think of APLUS? ”

Song Ya was sitting in the president's office chair at this time, with one hand on her cheek, concentrating on browsing the web on Delai's HP computer. Yesterday, at a dinner party at Jim Clark's house, I chatted with Mark Anderson about the competition between YAHOO and Infoseek, according to Mark Anderson, in fact, in January last year, there was a heated debate within Netscape about which to use the default search bar service, Mark Anderson was actually on the side of YAHOO at the time, and Jim Clark liked the Infoseek of his old friend Kirsch.

Then...... He seems to be troubled by a series of troubles such as the death of Sinaloa, Vic's killing of Inspector FBI, and the death of Lowry Jr., and the meetings there are usually attended by Jimmy on his behalf, and he firmly follows Jim Clark according to his orders......

Thereupon...... Infoseek narrowly won the internal debate at the conference.

This was a very small matter for Netscape, which was not so powerful at the time, and they did not inform themselves later, and Jimmy did not report it, but given the huge prestige, appeal and super high market share of Netscape Browser in the online world today, as well as the soaring market of the Internet industry as a whole, the impact of his butterfly wings is not small......

'Click-click-click......'

The mouse switches between the homepages of YAHOO and Infoseek, and both sides are much better than before, but for themselves, the familiarity of Yahoo is stronger in all aspects, the search engine is more handy, and they seem to have reached a cooperation with Reuters, and the quality of the news section on the homepage is very high, far behind Infoseek.

Netscape doesn't completely dismiss YAHOO screens, Song Ya clicks to the list of search tools, Infoseek is just the default engine, other well-known search engines such as Excite, LYCOS and other well-known search engines can be used, and YAHOO is the last one in the drop-down menu.

That's it, according to Yahoo's prospectus, they have also taken the market share to the second and third place in the industry, Song Ya opened Microsoft's IE again, this time YAHOO is the default engine, and the login page of the largest network access provider AOL, well, there is nothing there.

So based on my own instinctive vague perception of the future, the development of YAHOO will definitely be better than Infoseek, but how much better? It seems that the traverser has unconsciously changed some things, such as Netscape Browser's default search engine......

Will history stubbornly reverse the course of the shift and continue along the same course?

If not, then does the stereotype you perceive from the future still work? Will they be taken into the ditch instead?

This is a big question, and Song Ya can't help but start pondering.

“APLUS？” But Alicia immediately 'woke up' him.

"What?" Song Ya threw away the keyboard and mouse.

DeLay repeated the conversation he had with Alicia and asked, "What do you think?" I DON'T THINK YAHOO WILL BACK DOWN FROM KIELCH AND MOVE ITS HEADQUARTERS. I'VE DEALT WITH YAHOO'S FOUNDER, JERRY YOUNG, A FEW TIMES, AND HE DOESN'T FEEL SO MUCH LIKE A CHINESE DESCENT, BUT A BIT LIKE A SLIGHTLY MORE HONEST 3DFX TRIO, WITH PASSIONATE AND INCENDIARY CONVERSATIONS, AND A FLAMBOYANT PERSONALITY, AND IT'S HARD TO GET HIM TO BOW HIS HEAD EASILY. ”

"What do you mean by not being Chinese, stereotypical Oh Delay."

Song Ya laughed and made fun of his language sickness, in fact, he came to Dillay to try to meet with the senior management of Yahoo, especially one of the founders, Jerry Yang, who is Chinese, but he has also experienced what happened before the IPO, Jerry Yang and they all went to Wall Street in New York, and now they should be so busy day and night that they can't spare time at all.

"Anyway, you're the president here, you just have to look at it. My attitude...... I'm actually a little more optimistic about the future of YAHOO than Infoseek, maybe you can take the opportunity of their IPO to trade land for some of their shares, or put a link to our music site in a suitable place on their homepage that you like? He advised Delay.

"And what about Kirsch? Infoseek if you also match these requirements......"

DeLay hesitated, "Infoseek is an ally of Netscape and the industry leader in terms of search engine market share, based on your relationship with Netscape ......"

"Well, business is business, treat everyone equally, and watch what they offer."

There are still 2.6 percent of his Netscape shares left, and the value is as high as 300 million according to yesterday's closing price of nearly 150 dollars, and he has no power in Netscape.

“OK。” Delay is very satisfied with the boss's delegation of authority.

"Is it my turn?" Alicia walked over and put a document on the desk, "Signed it?" This is the acquisition of Louise reporting by the American music website. ”

"Left hand to right hand?"

Song Ya took the pen casually, brushed and signed, it was indeed left hand to right hand, the difference is that Louise reported that it is wholly owned by her own A+ copyright and asset management, and A+ Audio, the parent company of the American music website, does not completely belong to herself, and the shareholder also has a Dillay.

"Maybe after a while, you'll take the American Music Magazine as well? So I don't have to lose that million a year, and the America music website is more justifiable. Song Ya joked with Delay.

"Can you replace that editor-in-chief, Shirley Fleming?" Delay was also happy.

"Nope."

"Then forget it."

"Haha."

The two laughed together, Shirley Fleming's old man's connections in the music industry are very useful, at least her many years of friendship with those classical musicians are irreplaceable, and Song Ya has not withdrawn her idea for the time being.

"Rick Rubin's side?" Alicia asked.

"I'll take the opportunity to go to the Oscars to talk to him in Los Angeles, and I hope he doesn't get impulsive."

Silicon Valley affairs are almost handled, and they have signed a supplementary agreement with Netscape before, and before they sell their shares to Picault's company, they have to fulfill some notice obligations. Song Ya raised her wrist to look at her watch and yawned, "I'm a little tired, let's stop here today, I'll go back to the hotel to rest." ”

"No, I've already booked the best restaurant in Sunnyvale, and DTS owner Terry Beard and Jeffrey Hawkins of Palm will be coming over for dinner." Delay hurriedly kept people.

"Is there anything serious?" Song Ya felt the tips of Alicia's shoes quietly step on the instep of her foot.

"Jeffrey Hawkins should have it, but he won't tell me."

DeLay replied, "Of course Terry Bilder wants to talk to you about the Blade project, but A+ Studios will still use DTS's surround sound, right?" ”

Song Ya got up and patted Dillai's arm, "Anyway, I'll go back to the hotel and wait first, call me at dinner, I may have to come later." ”

"It's fine." Delay has no doubt about him, "They are both busy people, and it is estimated that they will not arrive early." ”

"Hmm." Song Ya raised his feet and walked out.

"Oh yes, Mrs. Flock, A+ Audio's synth rights library has some new contracts to review." DeLay called out to Alicia who was following him out.

"Uh...... All right. ”
