An Internet company that has not yet been listed, its valuation is already comparable to that of Netscape, the leader in the American Internet industry today.

Although Silicon Valley and Wall Street are trying to resist and welcome it, and are waiting and watching, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wall Street may eventually have to accept ICQ's sky-high valuation.

Yahoo is now being pursued by the entire Silicon Valley and Wall Street. There are many people who predict that Yahoo will surpass Netscape. But now a tiger appears halfway. Even though icq is engaged in social networking and instant messaging, it suddenly begins to put pressure on Yahoo.

“Yahoo needs to step up its game!”

Yang Zhiyuan watched the news and finally said that his good-natured character did not mean that Yang Zhiyuan was willing to submit to others.

When Coog saw Yang Zhiyuan's attitude, his eyes lit up. He understood that Yang Zhiyuan was allowing him to use Wall Street methods to run Yahoo.

In the past, Yang Zhiyuan was a bit conservative about Yahoo's expansion and acquisitions. Now Yahoo has not unified internally about search and portals. Yang Zhiyuan is inclined to do technology, that is, search, but portals are too profitable, and search is not.

No hope.

Wall Street behind Kugel hopes that Yahoo can continue to use acquisitions to increase its stock price and transform its portal into Internet media and advertising. As for search, the investment is too large, but there is no hope of profit...

Before, Yang Zhiyuan was a little hesitant about Yahoo's complete transformation, but now under the influence of icq, Yang Zhiyuan is a little "shaken" and wants to quickly build Yahoo into a giant company!

Kuger was extremely excited about Yang Zhiyuan's transformation. Without Yang Zhiyuan's opposition, he could let Yahoo continue to acquire companies without being constrained.

Yahoo was stimulated by icq, and began a more aggressive acquisition plan. It announced its own "overseas" plan to promote Yahoo to many regions including Europe and Asia, and successively announced Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports,

Yahoo Messenger and many other programs.

There is even news from inside Yahoo that it is preparing to build "Yahoo's own" search advertising system. This is obviously to get rid of the reliance on Double Click Company and compete with Double Click's "dart advertising system", which is known as the world's most advanced advertising delivery system.

.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, the news coming out of Yahoo shows that Yahoo has completely begun to change.

Double Click paid no attention to these rumors. However, its stock price had risen for a few days. However, due to the news of its "break" with Yahoo, the stock price fell again to around the issue price of US$4.

The response from Yahoo was huge, and Netscape, the big brother in Silicon Valley, was not much better. Seeing that the second Internet company in Song Yang's hands, the valuation has now reached the same level as Netscape overnight, he is naturally proud.

Marc Anderson, it’s strange to be happy.

"If it weren't for Microsoft, Netscape would never be what it is now!"

When Andreessen mentions Microsoft, he hates it. Netscape has gone from being sought after by thousands of people after its listing to being hated by people now. Wall Street and Silicon Valley are now slowly selling off Netscape's stocks, leaving Andreessen and Jim Clark.

Their values ​​have shrunk considerably.

The most critical thing is that Netscape's browser market share is still shrinking. Netscape has completely lost the browser market outside America.

Microsoft's IE browser, relying on bundling, has reached an astonishing 90% or more in the overseas browser market. Except for some Internet companies and professionals who are accustomed to Netscape browsers, ordinary users have completely

Abandoned Netscape, even if it is more user-friendly, but Netscape is paid, and Internet Explorer is free, that's enough!

Even in America's local browser market, Netscape President Baxter threatened last year that Microsoft's challenge to Netscape was a joke, like a fly shaking a tree, but now Netscape can no longer laugh.

In terms of browser time in America, Netscape's market share has also dropped from 80% at its peak to about 55% today. Of course, this is Netscape's own statement, and Microsoft's statement

, the market share of IE browser has surpassed Netscape.

Only they know who the two sides are talking about, but it can be known that Netscape's life is really not going well.

"Maybe Song is right, if we had made Netscape free..."

Jim Clark couldn't help but say that after participating in the establishment of the American Internet Association and receiving the title of Godfather of Silicon Valley, Jim Clark's mentality began to change. He no longer had the urge to compete with Microsoft.

Heart Qi.

Marc Anderson couldn't help but glance at his life mentor, but he didn't expect Jim Clark, who was equally proud, to say this.

But indeed, who would have thought that what Song Yang said to Netscape when he first came to Netscape would have come true. If Netscape had launched a free version of the browser and cooperated with major computer manufacturers

If we are not so proud of cooperation, it is hard to say that today, there is simply no place for Microsoft Internet Explorer.

But it is useless to say this now. In the face of Microsoft, Netscape Browser is losing ground. In addition, if you want to promote a free browser, you have to admit that Anderson and Jim Clark were wrong in the first place.

To me, it's really hard to accept.

"What now, Netscape is going to admit defeat to Microsoft?!" Anderson asked, looking at Jim Clark.

Jim Clark looked at the somewhat angry disciples, smiled and shook his head, indicating that Anderson should not be angry.

"Even if Netscape fails, Microsoft will have to repay everything it has done to Netscape!"

Jim Clark said with a serious look, "Now the Donkey Party is busy with the re-election of the leader and has no time to care about anything else. This is also Netscape's last chance. The Donkey Party and the leader want votes and donations from Silicon Valley and must let Netscape deal with it."

Microsoft’s lawsuit passes!”

Jim Clark is preparing to make a fuss in this year's general election and make a deal with the Donkey Party. Jim Clark will use his contacts and relationships in Silicon Valley over the years to get Silicon Valley votes for the Donkey Party, and the Donkey Party will help the Internet

Jing, through the antitrust case against Microsoft.

Not to mention whether we can win the lawsuit, we should first file the case, and then join forces with the federal Department of Justice, state and federal courts, etc. to file a class action lawsuit against Microsoft. Even if we can't win, we will still disgust Microsoft and file a lawsuit against Netscape.

A revenge of one stone!

Jim Clark is ready to fight to the death. Even if Netscape fails, Microsoft and Bill Gates will not have an easy time. They will risk all their contacts and relationships to fight Microsoft for the last time. This time it will not be on the Internet, but on

Better than America's connections, connections and public opinion.

After losing, Microsoft was disgusted, and Jim Clark was ready to leave Netscape. Netscape was his pride and the pinnacle of his career, but he could leave SGI, which he had built with his own hands, and he could leave Netscape now.

Given Jim Clark's age, coupled with the title of Godfather of Silicon Valley given to him by Song Yang, Jim Clark is already a Hall of Fame figure in the American technology industry, ranking with those celebrities in the history of American technology.

But if the antitrust case is won, then for Netscape, it will be reborn from the ashes. After killing Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, Netscape will still be the leader of the Internet industry.

"But Bruno Song may not cooperate with us..."

Knowing that after the election, it would be a decisive battle with Microsoft, Marc Andreessen was excited but also a little worried. He knew that this year's election year was the last chance for Netscape to make a comeback. If he missed it, it would be gone.

But it is no longer last year. Netscape has declined too fast, and its influence in Silicon Valley has also begun to plummet. Instead, Song Yang, through various tricks, established the iac Internet Advertising Association, the American Internet Association, and then

Coupled with Double Click, icq, etc., Song Yang now has a deep influence in Silicon Valley.

After all, Double Click Company controls the money bags of many Internet companies. ICQ, Double Click, and Hotmail have users and traffic. The Advertising Association and the Internet Association control public opinion. With these, Song Yang’s influence on Silicon Valley Internet companies is actually

It has begun to go beyond Jim Clark’s so-called connections and relationships.

With a sneer, Jim Clark looked at Anderson and shook his head, "You still don't understand Bruno Song. If he were asked to choose a company to survive between Netscape and Microsoft, then I'm sure he would choose Netscape."

scene!"

Regarding Song Yang, Jim Clark can say that he now has some understanding of who Song Yang is. He knows that if he really has to choose an opponent, he must choose Netscape, not Microsoft.

Since this year, Double Click has secretly increased its advertising for Netscape. Jim Clark knows that Song Yang does not want Netscape, a shield against Microsoft, to fall.

Knowing that Netscape was going to fight the final battle with Microsoft, Jim Clark was determined that Song Yang would not stand in the way, and would even add fuel to the flames, secretly helping Netscape.

Song Yang would never have imagined that a round of icq's financing would stimulate two Internet giants, Yahoo and Netscape, and it was unknown how many other companies were affected.

In San Jose, Song Yang received Jeff Skilling, who flew in from Houston. Gallo, who went to pick up Jeff Skilling, couldn't help but talk to Song Yang enviously about the luxury of that plane.

Although the plane was nominally a business plane purchased by Enron, in fact, after it was purchased, it served as the personal car for Kenneth, Jeff Skilling and other Enron executives, and the plane used by Kenneth to transport the commander-in-chief.

, which is affiliated to Enron, but is actually only used by him and the Kenneth family.

Enron is becoming more and more arrogant and bold. This is Song Yang's first feeling after hearing Gallo's words. Enron has almost become a cash machine for Kenneth and the others. With the continuously rising stock price,

Executives like Kenneth and Jeff Skilling were taking the lead in taking action against Enron.

"Jeff!"
