Back To 1995: Chapter 763 poaching
People are not old at heart. After selling Netscape, Jim Clark has already retired, but he has no plans to let go completely. He still has several companies in his hands, including a biomedical company, which is also preparing to go public.
Mark Anderson also pricked up his ears. Song Yang has established several outlets for the Internet, and he has also raised a banner in the electronics industry. The new Alcatel mobile phone has introduced the system, color screen, MP3, etc. The mobile phone for talking has become a new electronic product.
The Panda LCD TV has also made the LCD and plasma competition in the TV industry start to quietly shift to LCD TV. Plasma TV seems to have better technology, but the cost is too high. I don’t know if it is far from mass production. It will have to wait until the year of the monkey , and LCD TVs have faintly seen hope after Panda TV. Manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony have begun to turn to LCD TVs!
From the Internet to the electronics industry, Song Yang has proven his vision, and now he is in a new industry. Jim Clark and Anderson, even if they don't have the intention to compete for the top, who doesn't want to get a share?
The president of ICNC TV, Andy Lake, also looked at Song Yang curiously. He is more well-informed as a media player, but he knows that in just a few days, the technology industry has already turned upside down.
Several major Internet giants have not yet made a decision, but many small Internet companies have already started a new outlet, preparing to bet on electric vehicles and private space exploration companies, and many Silicon Valley venture capital and Wall Street institutions are also preparing to invest In the market, a new outlet seems to have appeared!
"certainly!"
Facing Jim Clark's question, Song Yang acted righteously, "New energy must be the most important part of the future technology industry, including energy-related industries, and it will definitely change in the future!"
Song Yang did not fool Jim Clark, not only him, even if other people came to ask, Song Yang also said this.
The energy industry must be a big piece of fat, including new technologies such as photovoltaics, shale gas, and solar energy. They can make a lot of money in the future. For example, those who play photovoltaics, the photovoltaic industry around the world, there have been richest men and they have reached the top Over the rich list.
Absolutely, there is no such thing as flickering. It’s just that this stuff is just like the Internet. If you don't go out, it's not impossible to be the first loser. To put it bluntly, everything...depends on fate!
"Of course, this may take some time. New energy electric vehicles need to wait even more to replace fuel vehicles!"
Song Yang said to Jim Clark "showdown" that it depends on whether he dares to wait. Song Yang said that it will take time to wait. As for the time, whether it is three to five years or ten or twenty years, it is impossible to decide I see, Song Yang is not a **** after all, he can guess so accurately, if he really has that ability, Song Yang has long been a magic stick to cut leeks.
Jim Clark looked confused, and various thoughts flashed in his mind. The automobile industry is a pillar industry of a country. An industry with several trillion dollars a year can provide millions of jobs with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If qualified electric vehicles can be developed to replace traditional cars, then it will not be difficult to create one or even several giant companies with a market value of more than US$100 billion!
However, various thoughts flashed by, and Jim Clark suddenly sighed and touched his gray hair. If he was ten years younger, it would be like betting on the Internet. A giant comes out.
But now, he is worth billions of dollars, has experienced power, been praised by thousands of people, and then fell to the altar. He has competed with opponents like Microsoft. Jim Clark knows that in the automotive industry, opponents like Microsoft are full of power. There are as many as dozens of them, he is not sure, he can rebuild mountains and rivers in the automobile industry, regardless of age, energy or social status, it is no longer allowed...
"I believe in Song, but I'm old!"
Jim Clark sighed and said, this action made Andy Lake and others beside him feel like a hero.
But turning the subject around, Jim Clark suddenly said, "However, Song, I am willing to support your decision. If necessary, I am willing to invest in your new energy electric vehicle company!"
Song Yang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the "citizen" in front of him, and couldn't help cursing secretly, Jiang is still old and hot, and Jim Clark is really an old fox, he hasn't changed at all.
After talking so much and doing a lot of bitter drama, in the end, he wanted to invest in the company established by Song Yang, which was really a good idea.
Jim Clark is an old man, and he is not going to go to the front line by himself, but if it is the most reliable to invest in an electric car company, Jim Clark doesn't know who else to invest in besides Song Yang!
People in the technology industry are all fools. Without exception, Netscape also fooled a lot of people at the beginning, and only then did they get a lot of investment. Their own people know their own people best, and Jim Clark is an expert in this.
Rather than handing over the real gold and silver knife to other big scammers, it is better to give it to Song Yang to try his luck. Jim Clark also has a feeling that it is not so easy to know that the electric car industry is not so easy. Same.
The Internet industry is empty and blank. Both he and Song Yang are "seniors" in this industry. Before them, the Internet was just a concept, and there was no opponent at all, and there was not even a federal law. , just how to fool.
But the automobile industry is different. This is an industry that has developed for more than a hundred years. It is not a one-time thing to replace the old auto giants of America, Japan, and Germany. If you enter it rashly, you may not touch it No matter how many beautiful knives are sprinkled, it is estimated that they will not be able to fill the big hole.
Listening to Jim Clark, the abacus sound that can be heard on the moon, Song Yang also smiled.
"Of course, Double-click was the first company to cooperate with Netscape. Now it is a blessing to continue to cooperate with Jim!"
Since Jim Clark is rushing to send money, Song Yang will not refuse. Whether it is electric vehicles or private space exploration, they are real gold swallowing beasts, and they need continuous investment for many years. Since Jim Clark wants to be Song Yang won't refuse the big injustice. Burning someone's money is not burning, anyway, it's enough not to burn the beautiful knife in Song Yang's hand!
Song Yang and Jim Clark raised their coffee cups and greeted each other, showing the affection of a fellow countryman seeing a fellow countryman, but Andy Lake, Mark Anderson, Gallo and others at the side could see the two Everyone has their own ideas, it depends on whether Jim Clark can take advantage of Song Yang, or Song Yang can cut his leeks.
"Anderson," Song Yang suddenly turned his gaze to Mark Anderson, "I heard that you are still leading the browser team at AOL?"
Anderson, who had become taciturn, suddenly turned his eyes on Song Yang for no reason.
The current browser industry is divided into PC browsers and mobile browsers. The former is dominated by Microsoft's IE browser, and the latter is dominated by the Firefox browser under the Symbian system, which dominates the mobile browser market.
Regardless of whether the two sides make money or not, anyway, they all have the momentum of a dominant family. Of course Anderson wants to counterattack, but in the short term, this hope is very slim. Even if Keith refuses to accept Bill Gates, he can I have to admit that Microsoft is a powerful opponent that any company can hardly contend with.
"The antitrust lawsuit is not over yet, and Case is willing to continue to provide fees to the legal team. The contest between Netscape and Microsoft is still not over!"
Anderson didn't mention technical matters anymore. It's impossible to beat Microsoft with technology. It's urgent. Microsoft can pull the brakes, and just come with a bundled package. No one can do it. The hope is probably for Microsoft's antitrust lawsuit can win and then dismantle the other party, although we all know that this is also very hopeless.
Microsoft's anti-monopoly lawsuit is in the midst of burning. It is impossible to dismantle Microsoft immediately, but it is not easy for Microsoft to get out. AOL, which inherited Netscape, is not short of money, and does not care about the browser market. Users, performance, etc., if you use a dilapidated Netscape browser to bring Microsoft down, it is simply not too profitable for Case.
Netscape is now a chess piece, a chess piece against Microsoft and Bill Gates. Do chess players care about the feelings of the chess pieces?
Mark Anderson also understands this point. He is playing a **** against Microsoft at AOL. Keith doesn’t care if Anderson is a Silicon Valley hero or an Internet igniter. Putting him there, making him succumb to others and being a younger brother to others, Anderson felt a little embarrassed. He was going to be the leader of the Internet martial arts at the beginning...
"If you want, you can serve as a technical consultant for new energy electric vehicles, and develop technologies such as operating systems, artificial intelligence, and even autonomous driving for electric vehicles. There is no better software engineer in Silicon Valley than you, Anderson!"
Song Yang praised Anderson a little, and in front of Jim Clark, dug up Anderson's corner. He has retired, so he can't pull Anderson, who is just 28 years old this year, to retire together.
Song Yang didn't say it clearly, but the meaning in his words is very clear. If Anderson is willing to join Song Yang's electric car company that doesn't even have a hair, then Anderson will not only be able to get a position as a technical consultant, but also, Co-founders are not out of the question.
Anderson really has a few brushes. He is the top software engineer in Silicon Valley. The media’s praise for him is not much water. He was able to single-handedly develop the original version of the browser. There are few brushes. .
The most important thing in a traditional car is the engine. What is the most important thing in an electric car is the operating system and the battery ear. The former is even more important. Song Yang can't think of anyone who is more suitable than Anderson to be a big animal for developing a car operating system...
