Back To 1995: Chapter 475 curtain call

  Chapter 475 Curtain Call

   "After the layout of Quantum Fund in Bangzi, Singapore, Japan and other places is completed, we will start to do it!"

Soros said to Zhuken Miller, who had already arrived in Asia, that he was going to create a chain reaction this time, not only in Siam, but also in the whole of Southeast Asia. Time can cause a chain reaction, bringing down the entire Southeast Asia.

  In addition to these, Soros is also waiting for other people. After all, this time is different from the past. He wants to short a region. He also needs to wait until Tiger Fund and other Wall Street short-selling hedge funds follow Quantum Fund.

   "When we do it, Julian Robinson's Tiger Fund, Omega Fund, and LTCM Fund will do it with us!"

After hanging up the phone, Soros said to his old buddy Rogers that Omega Fund, LTCM, Tiger Fund, and Quantum Fund are listed as the four major hedge funds in America. But when they do it, they will pounce on their opponents like a pack of wolves.

   Rogers' overall view is what Soros needs, and he wants the support of this old friend.

After hearing Soros' words, Rogers didn't ask Soros how many bargaining chips he had tossed in Asia, but asked directly, "What is the opinion of the commander-in-chief and Wall Street now? Will he talk to Quantum?" Fund together?"

  Rogers is not worried about the Quantum Fund, but worried about America, places like Siam, Singapore, Bangzi, etc., do not have a lot of US dollar reserves, and the Quantum Fund will definitely be able to bite off a piece of meat.

   But if America supports Southeast Asia and other places, then the Quantum Fund will be cut off. Therefore, the biggest trouble for the Quantum Fund is not overseas, but in America.

  Hearing this, Soros showed a relaxed look on his face, "The Grand Commander will not publicly support the Quantum Fund, but we can guarantee that the Federal Monetary Fund will not assist Siam and other places in the short term!"

   "Wall Street side", mentioning Wall Street, Soros sneered, "As long as there is an opportunity, even if we don't need to do it, Paulson and Goldman Sachs, as well as Morgan and Merrill Lynch will do it!"

  Soros is too familiar with the character of the hyenas on Wall Street. He usually looks pious, but when it comes to making a move, he is more ruthless than anyone else.

With the strength of institutions such as Goldman Sachs, such a big move by Quantum Fund must have smelled it long ago, but now Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street institutions have not only failed to issue warnings to Siam and other places, but instead added fuel to the fire, constantly touting Siam, Bangzi, Singapore and other places have developed well, and they also specially introduced short-term loans to companies in these places.

For example, Samsung has obtained Goldman Sachs and other institutions. Short-term loans with a period of two to three months, that is, the US dollars lent to Samsung, must be repaid in a short period of time. It was no problem to do this before. The institution will lend a new sum of dollars to Samsung, and the cycle will start again and again, and Samsung only needs to pay the interest.

  With these beautiful knives, Samsung continues to invest in production lines and acquire rivals. This is also the reason why Samsung and other companies have developed so rapidly in the past few years, and Wall Street companies provide them with ammunition.

  But if at a critical moment, after the short-term loan expires, Goldman Sachs and other institutions no longer lend to them, but instead urge them to pay back the money, then Samsung and other companies will have to wait for the candle!

   Rogers looked at Soros and said to him, "I think in a few months, the whole world will hear your name again, and your name will be immortalized on Wall Street!"

Rogers also knew that this was basically Soros' last major move in his career, and it was a curtain call. After this time, at Soros' age, he, like himself, should basically be retiring it's time.

  Hearing the old man's evaluation of him, Soros couldn't help laughing, "No, I just found some loopholes and told them the harm of these loopholes, so that the order can return to the correct position!"

  When Soros was preparing to do something in Manhattan, Song Yang was also busy with the launch of PayPal, but at this moment, Song Yang received an invitation to a banquet, and Song Yang had to go to this invitation.

Song Yang and Irene, who was dressed in costumes, came to a splendid villa together. There were many people present today, and most of the famous and famous people in Silicon Valley gathered here, because this is the event held by Jim Clark, the founder of Netscape. A banquet!

  "Facing robbers and barbarians, we must stand up, show our fists to our opponents, and wave our swords to tell the robbers that they should stop!"

  In the lobby of the villa, Jim Clark stood in the middle of the lawn of the villa, surrounded by a group of people, listening to Jim Clark's speech.

Jim Clark shook his fist vigorously, causing applause from the audience. During this period of time, Jim Clark has made this kind of speech many times, speaking everywhere in the American states, just to let everyone unite against Microsoft, Jim · Clark and Netscape, this time is really desperate.

   "Netscape and Jim Clark, this time they really want to pull Microsoft down!"

  Irene, who was wearing a black tunic dress, looked at Jim Clark who was accusing Microsoft of all kinds of "crimes" against Netscape hoarsely, and raised a glass of wine and whispered to Song Yang.

Song Yang glanced at Irene's long dress inlaid with platinum and diamonds, which set off her figure, and glanced at Jim Clark's direction, with a little sigh, "This is more likely to be Jim Clark's curtain call. show!"

  Hearing Song Yang's words, Irene was obviously taken aback, and then looked at Jim Clark in the middle of the lawn of the villa. Compared with last year, this year's Jim Clark was obviously a little older.

The current Jim Clark still has the demeanor of a Silicon Valley Internet tycoon with every gesture, and countless people responded, but it is obvious that compared to last year, the current Jim Clark, or Netscape, has obviously declined. a lot of!

  Irene looked at Jim Clark who was still continuing to speak, but at this moment, she could vaguely feel that Jim Clark really seemed to be doing a curtain call, and wanted everyone to remember him.

  If you think about it, you know that given Jim Clark’s age, and the current state of the Internet and the technology industry, it doesn’t mean that Jim Clark can’t build a technology company comparable to Netscape, but maybe there is not enough time!

  Maybe in the future, Jim Clark will still be able to invest in technology companies and even send them to the public market, but the chances of reaching the grand occasion of Netscape are really too low. Netscape may become Jim Clark’s swan song.

   "Maybe Netscape is going to be overwhelmed?"

  Irene lowered her voice, and said to Song Yang with a complex, strange and excited expression.

The lawsuit with Microsoft has been involved for too long. Even if it seems that Jim Clark is looking for trouble for Microsoft, he can't hurt Microsoft. In the browser industry, Netscape really can't hold on. Yes, I was killed by Microsoft's ability to use money and the bundling system!

  Song Yang could hear the thoughts in Irene's tone, shook his head slightly, and said to Irene, "Even if it can't last, ICQ can't swallow Netscape!"

   Song Yang knows what Irene is thinking. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As one of the most famous companies in the Internet industry, Netscape is still famous even though it has declined.

   It can even be said to be feelings. With this brand alone, it can get the most attention. Whether it is for users or in the Internet industry, if Netscape can be included in the pocket, the popularity will skyrocket in an instant!

But it is impossible for ICQ to swallow Netscape, just for such a brand, and it will definitely not be cheap. Let ICQ take out four or five billion dollars to buy Netscape as a big wrong, this thing is really too bad .

After hearing Song Yang's words, Irene couldn't help sighing. If ICQ can acquire Netscape, it will indeed greatly increase the popularity of ICQ. Considering the current situation of Netscape, if you really pay such a high price to buy it, then you can buy it back. I really want to be wronged.

   "The world needs warriors, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they have the courage to raise the long sword in their hands and charge towards the opponent!

   No matter how people in the future will evaluate Netscape, Netscape is willing to raise a long sword for the sake of Silicon Valley and the Internet, no matter who the opponent is! "

Jim Clark's words drew thunderous applause again. He regarded Netscape as a warrior facing Microsoft. In Jim Clark's words, Netscape was not only fighting against Microsoft for itself, but for the entire Internet in Silicon Valley. Rivers and lakes, avoid being stepped down by Microsoft's iron hoof!

Jim Clark's speech today was obviously done by a professional team. It directly sublimated the anti-monopoly war between Netscape and Microsoft, and sublimated Netscape's lawsuit against Microsoft to a new level. Big flag, you're not American if you don't support Netscape...

  "Of course, it is difficult for a warrior to defeat the dragon, but when all the warriors stand up, they will be the dragon, and they must bow their heads. The Internet needs more people to stand up, and some people cannot be allowed to destroy this industry!"

   When he said this, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Jim Clark looked at Song Yang in the crowd, and many people who saw this scene also looked at Song Yang.

But seen by Jim Clark and many others, Song Yang still looked normal, applauding with a little smile on his face, seemed to agree with Jim Clark's remarks, but expected Song Yang to express his opinion and object Microsoft or something, then I really think too much!

  Seeing the "indifferent" Song Yang, Jim Clark was disappointed for a while. He wanted Song Yang to stand up at this time and clearly express his support for Netscape. It would be best to start a war with Microsoft or something.

  Jim Clark said just now, and he has already reached that point. Whoever can stand up against Microsoft will be the "warrior" of Silicon Valley and become the leader of the new generation of Silicon Valley.

  If it were other upstarts on the Internet, they probably couldn’t bear it anymore. They stood up and wanted to be the focus, but on Song Yang’s side, it seemed that they didn’t care about these names at all, which made Jim Clark very helpless.

  Although it feels that Netscape may not be able to handle this wave, Jim Clark still hopes that he can find some helpers for Netscape, maybe Netscape still has a glimmer of life.

AOL and SUN have proven to be unreliable at all. If they hadn’t sold Netscape so quickly, the anti-Microsoft alliance created by Netscape might have been really useful, but who would have thought that AOL and others would sell Netscape? It's even cheaper than selling Chinese cabbage.

Netscape wants to find a new ally. The Internet companies that meet the requirements are nothing more than ICQ, Yahoo, etc., but among them, the most qualified ones, and Microsoft in the Internet industry, Jim Clark knows that it is Song Yangmo belonged.

  Knowing that there was not much hope, Jim Clark still wanted to try it out, but Song Yang ignored him at all.

He sighed a little, but Jim Clark still had a smile on his face, "Thank you for coming, I hope the drinks today will satisfy everyone, of course, if you want to taste the cake like Mr. Bill Gates, here is today Served as well!"

  As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone understood what Jim Clark was alluding to.

  Just in the past few days, the biggest melon in the technology industry is not which company went public, which technology upstart, and how much it is worth, but the fact that Bill Gates was smashed, which almost caused a global sensation.

  During this period of time, in the face of Netscape, which was fanning the flames everywhere, Microsoft also continued to attack. Bill Gates and other executives frequently attended various speeches and conferences in America and overseas to promote a positive image for Microsoft.

  Bill Gates went to Belgium to attend a conference a few days ago. To be honest, based on the current Internet situation in Europe and the Belgian market, it is estimated that PC computer users have not yet appeared.

As a result, when Bill Gates arrived in Belgium, opponents suddenly appeared. The media asked Bill Gates, Microsoft’s alleged monopoly lawsuit, and whether Microsoft would be dismantled. At the place where Bill Gates attended the meeting, there was also a Besides the demonstrators, this group of people may not be very clear about what Microsoft has done, but it does not prevent them from protesting against Microsoft as a villain.

And what really became a famous scene was when Bill Gates was about to enter the building where the conference was held. Suddenly, a man rushed out from a crowd of media reporters, and then threw a lump of cake at Bill Gates. face.

   It was too sudden, Bill Gates got bodyguards, and before he could react at all, the cake was already stuck on Bill Gates' face.

The scene of Bill Gates covered in cakes, dazed, stunned, and somewhat aggrieved was captured by the reporters around him. When this scene was sent back to America, it was captured by The major media spread it wildly, causing a huge sensation, but most of the melon-eaters were watching the excitement with a bit of gloating.
