Chapter 105 The wicked
The continuous introduction of mailbox management bills and measures such as mailbox voting are undoubtedly great benefits for email, especially for Hotmail, the current leader in the email industry. If this is a listed company, its stock price will not increase several times.
Just from these states that are preparing to implement electronic voting, they have received tens of millions of dollars in procurement fees. Once email voting is implemented throughout America, the hotmail mailbox will receive more than 10 million US dollars in procurement from the federal government every year.
The fee probably exceeds tens of millions of dollars!
In the hotel used for the launch of the IAB Association, Song Yang was playing with the ribbon on the arm of the future Internet advertising queen. This is one of the decorations that women from traditional Jewish families like to wear.
Looking at Irene in his arms, Song Yang couldn't help but think of the scene just now. Who would have thought that Irene, who usually wore old-fashioned clothes, would have a different scene in bed.
Compared to Jenny, Song Yang felt that Eileen was more like a little wild cat in bed. Looking at Eileen who had just had her first period, if she hadn't been too tired, Song Yang would have wanted to taste the marrow again.
At this moment, the mobile phone placed on the bedside suddenly rang. Song Yang was about to hang up, but Aileen woke up with a cry and looked at Song Yang. Thinking of the scene just now, Aileen
Lin got into the quilt again.
Seeing Irene waking up, Song Yang had no choice but to answer the phone. Jim Clark's angry voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "Song, what do you want to do?"
When Song Yang heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Jim Clark really calls himself the godfather of the Internet in America. His hands are quite long. This is not the first time that he has interfered with Song Yang's affairs, right?
"I don't know Director Jim, what does this mean? I can't remember where it affects Netscape!"
Song Yang yelled back. This was to tell Jim Clark that the road was open to the sky and everyone should go to one side. If you have nothing to do, don't run to Song Yang's one-third of an acre. If it was more serious, they should scold each other.
Erin listened to the phone call and knew it was Jim Clark. She had never met the godfather of the Internet, but she also knew that he was the most powerful figure in the Internet and even Silicon Valley, and could even influence the American Federation's decision.
Internet industry policies.
While listening to Song Yang and Jim Clark arguing with each other, Erin suddenly discovered that Song Yang seemed to have become one of the big names in the Internet industry.
How long has it been since Irene met Song Yang? At that time, Double Click Company was just a grassroots team, but now it has become an Internet giant company with nearly 600 members and a valuation of more than 100 million US dollars.
Hotmail is already the most popular email address in the world. By the end of the year, it is estimated that it will become the Internet product with the most users in the world.
There are also icq and American Telecom. Song Yang plans icq to be included in the instant messaging software industry. Irene is not sure how icq will perform, but Irene is certain that the American Internet industry will definitely change because of the emergence of icq.
There is no basis for the turbulence, it is completely Irene's intuition.
Needless to say, America Telecom, I am afraid no one would have thought that Song Yang, who was still in the Internet industry, would actually reach out to the telecommunications industry with many giants and start preparing a line worth 300 million US dollars.
All of this was created by Song Yang. Irene didn't know who among the younger generation in America could do all this.
The media in America had hyped many geniuses, but Irene had only heard about them, but Song Yang was in front of her, and she had been exposed to it at a distance. Thinking of this, Irene cursed herself, how could she think of those things, but when she thought of just now
The scene made Irene blush.
Erin didn't know how far Song Yang would go if given some more time. He might surpass Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen today, and even reach the same level as Bill Gates. When he thought of this
, Irene suddenly felt a little hot in her body, and when she looked at Song Yang, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Song Yang, who was having sex with Jim Clark, didn't notice anything unusual about Irene, only feeling that her body temperature had increased a lot.
"Song, you know what I'm talking about. Email voting is not as simple as you think!"
"In next year's election, the general is bound to win. Do you want to stop this?" Jim Clark asked Song Yang forcefully.
Song Yang curled his lips. Jim Clark was threatening Song Yang. After the commander-in-chief was re-elected next year, he would make trouble with Song Yang in the next four years.
This is indeed a problem, but it is not Song Yang’s turn to worry. To put it bluntly, mail-in voting is still the Donkey Party fighting the Elephant Party. Song Yang just provides them with a new battlefield!
Rubbing Irene's long, delicate golden hair, Song Yang didn't want to take the blame yet, but he was really worried about the commander-in-chief who was destined to be re-elected.
"E-mail voting and Internet voting will become a part of American election voting just like mail-in voting. We all know this!"
"I can only guarantee that the votes in the hotmail email address will not be affected by other people!" Song Yang said on the phone. This was a guarantee to Jim Clark and the person who asked him to make this call.
Let the hotmail mailbox completely shift to the Xiang Party, and there will be no means to influence the votes.
"It better be so!"
Jim Clark hung up the phone angrily. After putting down the phone, Jim Clark couldn't help but cursed. Song Yang's attitude made the self-proclaimed leader of the American Internet Alliance very dissatisfied.
But Jim Clark also sensed the crisis. Song Yang's attitude made Jim Clark clearly feel that Netscape's influence on the American Internet industry was decreasing. He didn't know who was still like Song Yang, but Yahoo and AOL were still
On the surface, these companies such as Lycos and Netscape all take the lead, but at the critical moment, do they stand with Netscape?
Jim Clark feels that something big needs to be done to let the Internet industry’s second-guessing guys in Double Click know who is the boss of the American Internet!
But before Jim could think too much, another person sitting in the room sneered at Jim Clark and said, "Jim, is this your strength on the Internet?"
"If Congressman Reed knows that you can't even deal with a newcomer on the Internet like Bruno Song, I think he won't be too satisfied with your performance!"
Jim Clark looked at the people in the room angrily, but the people he saw were not afraid at all. Instead, they looked at Jim Clark provocatively. Others were afraid of him, the godfather of the Internet, but he, John Dole, was not afraid at all.
.
John Doerr, one of the co-founders of kpcb venture capital, Intel, Sun, including Jim Clark and Netscape, are all invested by kpcb behind him.
In addition to his identity as kpcb, John Dole also has another identity, the "hub" between Silicon Valley and Washington, which can also be called a broker!
To a certain extent, Reed is the most well-connected figure in the Silicon Valley circle. In addition, he also has an unpredictable relationship with Washington. More than half of the current Internet strategies of the President are influenced by John Dole.
In both Washington and Silicon Valley, he is considered a man of extraordinary ability.
Of course, when trouble occurs, John needs to come forward to coordinate, such as the hotmail mailbox voting that has just appeared. The Donkey Party is also worried that email voting will become a sharp sword in the hands of the Elephant Party, so he is asked to coordinate with Jim.
Deal with this matter.
Song Yang was not from an orthodox background in Silicon Valley at all, and he did not receive venture capital from Silicon Valley. This made it impossible for John Dole to come forward directly. He could only ask Jim, the leader of the alliance, to come forward and restrain the younger brothers below, but it seemed that the effect was not very good.
At least he failed to acquire Hotmail, so John Dole naturally had to sneer at Jim.
Jim Clark, who had been ridiculed a lot, was not angry when he heard these words from Congressman Reed. He could quarrel with John Dole, but he could not quarrel with Reed. This is the boss of the Federal Communications Commission of America.
The Internet is also under his jurisdiction. Netscape's rapid development is inseparable from Reed's care.
"You should take care of yourself first. If the new telecommunications bill fails to pass next year, I don't know what Reid will think of you!" Jim Clark said to John Dole.
As a broker, John Dole relies on his relationships and influence in the technology industry. To pass America's new telecommunications bill, all parties need to contribute, and he is now helping Reed run this matter.
"This matter has been resolved. Bruno Song knows what to do. I will handle the matters in the Internet industry!"
After saying that, Jim Clark left with a straight face. At this moment, he couldn't wait to make Netscape become the Microsoft of the Internet industry. Look at the rival Microsoft that dominates the software industry, and then look at the Internet industry, double-click, Yahoo
When it comes to Netscape's attitude, this status is completely different.
After Song Yang hung up the phone, he was in a bad mood, not only because Netscape was telling him what to do, but also because Song Yang felt that his influence in the federation was insufficient.
Netscape dares to point fingers again and again. In addition to its influence on the Internet, the most important thing is that it has a large group of supporters behind it. There are people in Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and Washington supporting it, so even if it is as powerful as Microsoft, it is also criticized.
Netscape nearly split the lawsuit, but in the end they lost the lawsuit and had to pay Netscape nearly a billion dollars.
Song Yang let out a long sigh. He didn't know when he would be able to have the influence of Netscape without being constrained by the industries in his hands!
Hearing Song Yang's sigh, Irene moved up to him and gave Song Yang a kiss on his face, "My father said that sometimes when a wisdom tooth is found, you cannot pull it out right away, but you need to wait for the right moment.
Timing will solve these troubles!"
"Your father?" Song Yang looked at Eileen in confusion.
“A dentist, the best doctor in Houston!”
Listening to Irene's words, Song Yang knew that she was trying to remind Song Yang that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Even if he was dissatisfied with Netscape, now was not the time to fall out with Netscape and the people behind it.
"This opportunity won't take long!"
Song Yang didn't get too entangled. Anyway, Netscape wouldn't be able to deal with him for much longer. Microsoft should be on the doorstep soon, and by then Netscape would know what it means to be evil.
Chapter completed!
