Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 931: The smoke of the browser war

...

Some things are tacitly tacit-although the U.S. military is unwilling to sell the retired aircraft carrier to the richest man, the United States is definitely happy to see the richest man pack up the Russian aircraft carrier, which completely cut off the opposing navy's idea of ​​confrontation. Anyway, the richest man buys Arriving on the Russian aircraft carrier, just like a child getting the Azure Dragon Yanyue Knife, nothing can be done.

More importantly, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier built in the Soviet era, the Ulyanovsk, the third ship of the Kuznetsov class, which the United States really feared, has been built to 40%. At the time, it used a simple double reed play to make the Ukraine, which sold steel and iron a red eye, stupidly dismantled it.

On the other hand, the four aircraft carriers that the richest man now claims to pack the Russian navy are all the Kiev-class, which is one level behind the Kuznetsov-class. For the powerful US Navy, it is similar to that of a chicken.

This is the general trend-with the current strength of the richest man and the load that his shoulders can resist, he can operate with ease.

However, Tang Huan hopes that the hype of the media will be enough to get to the aircraft carrier hotel-master the heat, and public opinion can be used for me; otherwise, it will only backfire.

After all, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, after this time the incumbents who have infinitely flattered the West step down, Russia, which has been tortured to the death by "shock therapy", will basically move from love to hatred to another direction. Blowing too much needlessly now makes it easy to come out and talk.

Tang Huan calmly strategized, including leaving a way out for himself-he was just a benevolent and righteous businessman who would admire all parties and would like to associate with each other!

In addition, after intuitively understanding the four aircraft carriers retired from Russia this time, Tang Huan found that this Kiev-class aircraft carrier, which is positioned as an "aviation cruiser", can be played by himself as long as it can calm the panic in Southeast Asian countries. , Just send it to the Funan Navy.

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 a big book 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 big things 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 new domain names that were registered in one breath and the number of more than his son’s, Tang Huan couldn’t help but laugh. Among them, Gein also had Yahoo—and Amazon—although the business entity had been established, but because of the commercial value and The prospects remain to be seen, and for the time being, I have not cared about my registered domain name.

The dignified richest man, cybersquatting the domain names of Xiao Xiami, is suspicion of being unkind. In fact, he was not deliberate. After drawing a circle, it was all his subordinates to implement it. Yang Zhiyuan and Jie could only be blamed. People like Jeff Bezos are slow.

Tang Huan, who personally participates in angel investment activities at least once every quarter, is very concerned about the website information citation service run by a computer at Stanford University under his nose—"jerry 's_guide_to_the_world_wide_web", that is, "Jerry's web guide", has long been known. Its founders, David Filo and Yang Zhiyuan, who are still graduate students, are working privately.

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, the number will 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.

Therefore, "Jerry's Internet Guide" was changed to the catchy "Yahoo", and to distinguish it from the registered trademark of existing products such as barbecue sauce and knives-"yahoo", an exclamation point was added at the back. It became "yahoo!", but I forgot to spend $100 to register "".

I have to say that smart people often have a hundred secrets.

It is not difficult to imagine that the current Yahoo, as far as technology is concerned, does not have much technical content. It is a software "database" that can be customized and can update website index information 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 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 for the older generation than Yahoo. It was divided into military and civilian use in 1983 as the arpa network was divided into two parts, tcp /ip began to take shape as a general 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 begun to explode and the information has already exploded, the visitors have become at a loss. 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 stages of the Internet have led 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."

However, it is impossible to make AOL a more "correct" step and switch to the portal model. Not to mention that the portal model is just emerging. It is impossible to abandon the existing content resources of AOL alone. The online service model has been The "correctness" has to penetrate his genes, and he can only fine-tune his own 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 David Filo and Yang Zhiyuan, they are similar to James Cameron, who filmed "Titanic" in a down-to-earth manner. The persistence in this bone 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 in the apartment of David Filo and Yang Zhiyuan was already overwhelmed and about to strike.

The little cousin Meng Jing, who was collating information, rolled her eyes when she saw Tang Huan’s scheming and contented expression, "Brother, you have squatted so many domain names. You are not afraid of being bullied by others. Huh?"

"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."

"I got it." Meng Jing agreed, and then handed over a document. "This year's Comdex Las Vegas Autumn Show is really a rare experience, not to mention that there are more in the field of home video game consoles. Sony’s polestar, a browser software from Zheru Software Corporation-Polaris ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, has a new competitor."

Tang Huan took a look at the file, and Yun Dan said clearly: "This netscape-Netscape, I know, Jim Clark, who ran away from Silicon Valley Graphics, invested 4 million US dollars to establish a small 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's status as a commercial software, it is temporarily free in the name of promotion. Now netscape_navigator, Netscape Navigator, has launched the official version 1.0, and it does not hesitate to position it as a shareware. It is free for real use. It can be described as aggressive and 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 packaged promotion of multiple software products and secret subsidies."

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 give someone a handle."

"In addition, when it comes to promotions, I remembered that polestar's browser homepage was sold to AOL; if we support Yahoo again, the relationship between this small-scale alliance will be a bit difficult to coordinate."
