Back To 1995

   Chapter 246 The Great Gift Pack

  It is human nature to pretend to be green. The ancients have a cloud, and wealth and honor do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night, and it is no exception in the Internet industry.

   Being a colleague in America and pretending to be green in front of a colleague all over the world are two completely different concepts!

   Hearing that Song Yang was going to hold the "World's First Internet Conference", everyone at the bottom was a little bit eager to move, especially "Silicon Valley Hero" Anderson, "Yahoo Chief" Yang Zhiyuan and others. They now place great importance on reputation.

   Yahoo and Netscape are all going the same way, or Yahoo imitates Netscape. Both companies are "creating gods", making Anderson and Yang Zhiyuan famous, and then letting them increase the influence of Netscape and Yahoo!

This seems to be really useful now. The more famous Anderson and Yang Zhiyuan are, the higher the market value of Netscape and Yahoo. But this does not mean that there is no risk at all. This kind of security is tied to one person, but Netscape and Yahoo's stock prices collapse. , then Yang Zhiyuan and the others will definitely be to blame, and their reputation and image will plummet.

But now, for Song Yang to hold the "World Internet Conference", both Anderson and Yang Zhiyuan are very excited. Yahoo's influence, to take the opportunity to expand to the world, to enter the world's major markets!

After Song Yang finished speaking, he walked directly off the stage, but at this time, the people in the hotel lobby had nothing to do with the demons dancing around. Song Yang threw out two pieces of "America Internet Society" and "World Internet Conference" in a row. ”, the people who directly bombed the scene were turning their backs, and for a while, I felt that the little model in my arms suddenly became unfavorable!

A group of people from Wall Street began to get together in twos and threes, and began to discuss in a low voice. Once the "America Internet Association" was established, how much impact will it have on the Internet, and whether Wall Street should support this association, or to what extent is it involved? .

As for a group of people in the Internet industry, they gathered directly next to Song Yang. As Song Yang's "hardcore ally" in the technology industry, Todd felt obligated to fight side by side with his allies on this occasion to show Microsoft's commitment to allies. support.

As soon as he arrived at Song Yang's side, Todd said in front of Netscape, Yahoo, AOL and other companies, "Song, on behalf of President Bill Gates and Microsoft, I support your decision, and Microsoft supports the establishment of America. Internet Society!"

A group of Internet colleagues who are familiar with Microsoft's behavior, hearing this "ulterior motive" without a little bit of water, a pair of Microsoft, who is about to compete for the right to speak in the Internet Society, and all the people from technology companies present, can't help but secretly tui With a bang, Intuit shameless Microsoft.

Todd is so supportive of the establishment of the "Internet Society", which is obviously uneasy and kind. With the size of Microsoft, entering the Internet Society of America will definitely be the existence of the chairman and president of the association. Of course, I hope that the Internet Society will be established soon. !

Unexpectedly, Netscape, who was fighting against Microsoft in the dark, unexpectedly said in unison, "Netscape also supports the establishment of the Internet Society. This industry is too chaotic. Now, following the trend and malicious competition has already become a reality. Seriously disrupted the order of the Internet industry!"

   When they said this, Jim Clark and Mark Anderson both looked at Todd, just to say, they were not referring to other companies present, especially Microsoft!

Microsoft's free browser is a browser that will destroy the browser industry. It was originally a browser that made money while charging. Since then, it is impossible to make money. Microsoft not only imitated Netscape, but also ruined Netscape's job, and also used bundling, etc. Means competition, this is not malicious competition is what?

For Anderson and Jim Clark's scolding, Todd calmly faced and smiled back. After all, the winner must be more "forgiving" when facing the loser A few mouth guns save face.

   Supporting the establishment of the "Internet Society", Jim Clark and Anderson, are by no means a whim. Seeing that Microsoft is so active, Jim Clark knows that if Netscape does not join, then Microsoft joins, and it is Netscape who will be targeted.

   In America, Jim Clark knows too much about public opinion. If he does not control public opinion, then public opinion will be controlled by others!

   Joining the "Internet Society", not to mention that he can attract a lot of younger brothers, and he can't get along with Microsoft, as long as he is not targeted by Microsoft, it is enough. On the other hand, Jim Clark intends to arrange "death affairs".

   In the browser war with Microsoft, although Netscape did not admit defeat and shouted "the advantage is mine", in fact Jim Clark already knew about Netscape's current decline.

Now joining the "America Internet Society", Jim Clark wants to keep Netscape's relationship and influence in the American Internet Society while Netscape Yu Wei is still there, such as getting the chairman of the Internet Society. , Vice President, etc.

   These are all intangible assets. In the future, if Netscape can't support it, if it is sold, these things may also be able to sell for a price!

Seeing that Microsoft and Netscape have agreed to establish the "Internet Society", Yahoo, AOL and other companies can't help it. An Internet Society, the president and chairman of the board, have the right to speak, and there are so many positions to cut leeks. If you join too late, you will be occupied by others.

   "Yahoo supports the establishment of the Internet Society!" Yang Zhiyuan stepped forward and said.

   followed, and Lyonsis, who represented AOL, also supported, "AOL joins too!"

After Song Yang, Microsoft, Netscape, Yahoo, AOL and many other companies supported it, the rest of the Internet companies understood that this matter was a certainty. Just like the United Nations, it sounds like all countries voted, but in fact As long as the five hooligans agree, it is basically determined.

   "Altavista support, Lycos support, Excite support..."

   When all the companies representing the mainstream Internet industry voiced their support, other small Internet companies had little influence whether they opposed it or not.

But the process that should be followed, we still have to go, otherwise it will become a lack of martial arts, Song Yang said to the crowd in the hall, "The voting will be held at the San Jose Convention Center, and then Silicon Valley and America will be invited to more than 85 people. % of Internet companies participated in the voting, and I hope everyone can participate!"

  We still need to save face. We must convince the Internet companies in America to join the Internet Society, and let them vote with their own hands, and we must establish the "America Internet Society".

After    finished speaking, Song Yang and Todd, Lyonsis, Jim Clark, Yang Zhiyuan and others started talking in a low voice, talking about it, rather than scoring points!

   The entire "America Internet Society" will set up a management committee to manage the entire Internet Society, and then use the Internet Society to control Internet companies such as Silicon Valley.

   The management committee of the Internet Society will be composed of the chairman, vice-chairman, chairman, legal affairs, technology and other departments, and the structure is basically the same as that of the Institute of Electrical Engineers.

The position of the management committee of the Internet Society, which has not yet been shadowed, has been scraped by Song Yang, Todd and others. The first president of the Internet Society, Todd wanted to fight for Bill Gates, but Netscape did not. While swearing to the death, Song Yang, in order to avoid suspicion, as the initiator of the American Internet Society, to avoid causing controversy, took the initiative to give up the position of chairman, and finally made Yang Zhiyuan cheaper.

For Yang Zhiyuan, this is probably nothing less than a gift package from the sky, the identity of "Yahoo Chief", plus the identity of the "Internet Society" boss, I can't say, it really makes Yang Zhiyuan want to get the "Century Internet First Person" name number!

Mark Anderson looked at the "junior" Yang Zhiyuan, and he couldn't hide his envy. Although he also became one of the five vice presidents of the Internet Society along with Song Yang, Bill Gates, Jim Clark, and Case, but where is the limelight? Better than Yang Zhiyuan?

   Just like when Netscape went public, Mark Anderson appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, Yahoo went public, and Yang Zhiyuan dominated the major media magazines.

Song Yang also made headlines in the "Wall Street Journal", "New York Times", "Business Week" and other media on the second day, and "Time Magazine" finally followed the previous month. In the second month, a character from the Internet was selected as the cover, and Song Yang's figure appeared on "Time Magazine"!

   Unlike Mark Anderson's bohemian appearance when he appeared in Time magazine, or Yang Zhiyuan's image of an engineer, "Time Magazine" selected the photos of Song Yang that were very interesting.

The photo was taken by P. Song Yang, who was wearing a suit with a smile on his face, was leaning lazily on the Ferrari F50, surrounded by a group of models. Those who were familiar with it would realize that this was the first time the company got the first At a venture capital, Song Yang opened champagne and surrounded a group of models during a party, and today these models have been moved to this photo.

  Beautiful BMW model, there is a baseball bat and a jersey scattered on the ground in the photo, there is also a light network cable on the top of the photo, and there are Hotmail mailboxes and ICQ logos and logos around.

The editor of   Time magazine did not write a comment on the cover, but chose the comment made by editor-in-chief Kevin Kelly on the Wired magazine after Wired Magazine went public.

   "Throughout the history of science and technology, there have been many shining stars, and in various ways, the entire era will remember their existence.

   In the technology era of the Internet, there will eventually be countless new stars, but Bruno Song will eventually become the most shining one in the Internet era! "

Time Magazine has counted the past of Song Yang since his debut. The establishment of DoubleClick, Hotmail, and ICQ is leading the trend of the Internet at almost every step. Internet advertising, e-mail, and instant messaging are now popular industries on the Internet. Song Yang built it himself, so there will be followers!

  Business Weekly magazine mainly focused on Song Yang's worth, and the estimated worth of Song Yang surprised everyone, "The third person in the technology industry!"
