It has to be said that digital games are not exclusive patents-whether to play or not depends on whether they are driven by profit.

What Gerald Levine said is “in the interests of everyone”, nothing more than-AOL, which has a market value of close to 160 billion US dollars, occupying 55% of AOL Time Warner Turner’s shares, is equivalent to letting this new group The value of more than 300 billion U.S. dollars.

There is too much confusion here.

On the other hand, the market value of AOL is almost twice that of Time Warner Turner, but it only occupies 55% of AOL Time Warner Turner’s shares. Although De Levin desperately wants to enter the digital media field through AOL, he is not as blindly optimistic about the value of AOL.

Of course, the richest man will not be meaninglessly truthful-it is enough to confirm this principle. As for the resources saved, they will be used to compete for more important new group positions.

“So…” Tang Huan waved his hand: “Let’s take advantage of the victory and catch up with the new group’s management structure, right?”

Mentioned the issue of power distribution that had been disputed before, Gerald Levine, who was originally quite amiable, immediately showed a cunning character and suggested: “Since AOL has 55% of the new company, then Steve Just be the non-executive chairman, and I will be the CEO.”

Steve Case immediately objected: “I am willing to serve as the chairman of the board of directors of the new company, but I cannot accept the arrangement that is arranged to only undertake honorary work.”

Gerrard Levine persuaded with all his heart: “It is completely predictable that the integration of resources for the new company will be an extremely complicated process-if you have insufficient experience in the traditional media field, you should not waste your brain cells.”

Steve Case dissatisfied: “Don’t you mean that I think I am young and junior-don’t forget, who brought it out of America Online, which is now ranked tenth by market value.”

…

Seeing the scene of “increase of land must be contended”, Tang Huan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows-still arguing so unintentionally, tossing to the year of the monkey may not be fruitful.

So the richest man gave a light cough and interjected: “The positions of the chairman of the board and the chief executive officer shall be fixed like this. As for the type of chairman of the board of directors of Steve Case, whether it is executive or non-executive, put it aside for now.”

“In addition, I suggest establishing a joint COO position”

…

The following is the anti-D part, update it tomorrow, just ignore it.

…

It is precisely based on these considerations that the richest man does not want the media, which fears the world to remain undisturbed, to stimulate Russia, which is still in negotiation with him. Although the people in power there are easy to public relations, they also have to take into account their face.

Quickly turning over the topic of packing the Russian navy, Tang Huan turned to the movie “Titanic” to attract media attention, praising that the trip received help from the United Kingdom, Russia and other parties.

All this said, it is officially recognized as the existence of the “Titanic” project-James Cameron has quickly promoted from the level of directing a $100 million budget movie to the level of a director who shoots a budget movie of 150 million US dollars. .

The reporters were really biased by the richest man, and began to discuss “Titanic”, for example, who will become the hero and heroine of such a big production.

In fact, after Tang Huan came back this time, when dealing with housework and visiting the new son of Tang, he also asked his foreign girls who was interested in the heroine of “Titanic”. But due to the schedule, role positioning, workload, director James Cameron’s reputation as a tyrant on the set, and so on, no one wants to get close to the water.

In this way, the casting of “Titanic” is really serious and official.

However, although these specific matters are worthy of special mentions for Hollywood and the media, in the eyes of the richest man who has completed the layout, they are pediatrics. There are only three real major events before him this year. ——COMDEX Las Vegas Autumn Fair, which fully demonstrates the fierce competition in the industry, the 2nd APEC Economic Leaders Conference held in Bogor, Indonesia, and the economic trend of Mexico.

…

Looking at the domain names registered in one breath, Tang Huan couldn’t help but laugh, and Gein also had Yahoo—and Amazon—such as this. Although the pioneers of operating entities have been established, the commercial value and prospects remain to be seen. domain name.

The dignified richest man, the domain name, is suspicion of being unkind-in fact, he was not deliberate. After drawing a circle, it was all his subordinates to implement it. You can only blame Yang Zhiyuan and Jeff Bezos. People are slow to move, or 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 every quarter, is very concerned about the website information retrieval service run by a computer at Stanford University under his nose—”Jerry ‘s_Guide_to_the_orld_ide_eb”, which is “Jerry’s Internet Guide”, has long been known.

Its founders, David Filo and Yang Zhiyuan, who are still graduate students, are doing private work behind their bosses.

As expected by Tang Huan at last year’s COMDEX Las Vegas Fall Fair, the number of web sites on the World Wide Web this year has increased by more than ten times to more than 10,000. Following this trend, it will continue to exceed 10 next year. Ten thousand, a matter of course.

The World Wide Web without license fees, while the number of websites has soared, it also inevitably brings confusion to Internet users’ visits-how do people find the part of their interest in the information explosion?

It is estimated that the bosses of David Filo and Zhiyuan Yang are so generous that they have free time to sort out the index of these websites for other Internet users to use, and then step on the drumbeat of the times by chance. When they are very popular, click The amount will exceed 1 million.

As a result, “Jerry’s Internet Guide” was changed to the catchy “Yahoo”, and an exclamation point was added at the end to distinguish it from the registered trademark of existing products such as barbecue sauce and knives-“Yahoo”. It became “Yahoo!”, but I forgot to spend $100 to register “”.

I have to say that smart people often have a hundred secrets, or when they are poor and short-sighted.

It is not difficult to imagine that the current Yahoo, as far as technology is concerned, does not have much gold content. It is a customizable software “database” that can update the index information of the website at any time.

It is no exaggeration to say that for the Yahoo, who has only a sharp horn, and the richest man with too much capital, there is nothing wrong with it, whether he looks down on it or replaces it.

However, he still looked at this young seedling quietly, growing according to natural ecology and instinct. Gein, the commendable thing about Yahoo is that it is born with a new and feasible mode of operation.

The richest man certainly owns America Online, but the AOL model does not represent all of the Internet and the World Wide Web.

Although AOL is not as old as its competitors in the field of online services, it is certainly not a problem to be older than Yahoo. It came to the fore when the ARPA network was divided into two parts for military and civilian use in 1983, and TCP/IP began to become a common protocol.

Due to the scarcity of resources in the Internet pioneering era, the operation mode of such online services has tried to provide all Internet access content by itself from the beginning, and leased network lines on a large scale, and even built network lines by itself, becoming an Internet service provider. ISP.

Compared with the “hard” model of AOL, which puts visitors in circles, Yahoo represents a “soft” path, that is, because the Internet resources have started to explode and the information has exploded, the visitors become at a loss, and provide The navigation function of the portal.

Yahoo’s main job is to set up servers, maintain its own “website database”, and provide an attractive navigation page that occupies the access point of the Internet with countless websites, without the need to lease lines and access Users control in their own website.

To put it a bit taller, and even more correct in politics, Yahoo represents freedom and openness, and truly illustrates the spiritual essence of the Internet.

Of course, this does not mean that AOL’s path is wrong. Yahoo’s path is correct. Different development stages of the Internet have contributed to different road choices and operating characteristics. If you copy it mechanically, it can only be a dead end.

Moreover, AOL still represents the mainstream at this stage-Yahoo’s website navigation directory must have its place in the front row.

Under Tang Huan’s guidance, AOL’s speed in embracing the World Wide Web is many times faster than its competitors in online services. It can be said that its path has always been “correct.”

But it is impossible to make AOL a more “correct” step and switch to a portal model. Not to mention that the portal model is just emerging, and it is impossible to abandon the existing content resources of AOL alone. The online service model has been “correct” deep into its genes, and it can only fine-tune its navigation direction with the development of the Internet.

Under this circumstance, the incomparably young Yahoo’s value to the richest man is reflected-it can not only satisfy the layout of eggs not in one basket, but also greatly reduce the cost of mastering the portal site model.

As for the value of the two graduate students, David Filo and Zhiyuan Yang, they are similar to James Cameron, who filmed “Titanic” in a down-to-earth manner. The persistence in his bones is not easy to find.

You should know that, with the power of two people, they can work privately to organize the information of thousands of websites into an indexing service, but it is a manual task without enthusiasm, and it will definitely not work.

Tang Huan opened the Yahoo page on his computer and couldn’t help but smile to himself-the server placed in the apartment of David Filo and Yang Zhiyuan is probably overwhelmed to go on strike.

The little cousin Meng Jing, who was collating information on the side, rolled her eyes when she saw Tang Huan’s scheming and contented expression, “Brother, domain name, aren’t you afraid of being bullied by others?”

“Silly girl, with these domain names, we can invisibly not miss any fish in the layout.” Tang Huan laughed, “When someone comes to inquire about the domain name transfer, it is equivalent to a program event trigger, no Know how much effort was saved.”

Meng Jing nodded suddenly, “Then you have babbled Yahoo’s name several times, are you planning to catch this fish that slipped through the net?”

“Yahoo is not a fish that slipped through the net, but a fish in my pond.” Tang Huan replied playfully: “Yes, Yahoo’s hits are almost over 1 million. It is estimated that David Filo and Yang Zhiyuan are two Poor graduate students should also have ideas about the commercial value of the work they are interested in. You should find our alumni immediately, and don’t let other venture capitals take the lead; after you have been busy for a while, arrange a meeting for everyone.”

“Got it.” Meng Jing agreed, and then handed over a document. “This year’s COMDEX Las Vegas Fall Fair is really a rare experience, not to mention that there are more in the field of home video game consoles. Sony’s Playstation, just Polestar, a browser software of Zheru Software Corporation-Polaris ~www.mtlnovel.com~, has a new competitor.”

Tang Huan took a look at the document, and said in a clear and clear manner: “This Netscape-I know that Netscape, Jim Clark, who ran away from Silicon Valley graphics, invested 4 million US dollars to establish a small startup company-the browser market. It is not much, not much without it.”

“You have repeatedly emphasized to us that the competition on the Internet platform is a big killer.” Meng Jing reminded: “Compared with Polestar as a commercial software, it is temporarily free in the name of promotion. Now Netscape_Navigator, as soon as the official version of Netscape Navigator released 1.0, has no hesitation in positioning it as a shareware, which is free and aggressive, and it is not comparable to other competitors.”

“Polestar is technologically ahead and has a first-mover advantage in market share. I am not afraid of Netscape_Navigator’s spoiler at all.” Tang Huan waved his hand relaxedly. “Netscape_Navigator wants to grab market share by clean and free means. It is possible to spend money to buy others to use Polestar in the form of multiple sets of software product package promotion and secret subsidy.”

Meng Jing smiled and said, “Brother, you have to pay attention. Although Zheru Software was spun off and reached an anti-monopoly settlement with the Federal Ministry of Justice, there are still people who are watching-it is too domineering. It’s easy to drop the handle.”

“In addition, when it comes to promotion, I remembered that Polestar’s browser homepage URL was sold to AOL; if we support Yahoo again, the relationship between this small alliance will be a bit difficult to coordinate.”
