Back To 1995

   Chapter 477

Jim Clark raised his glass, and after having a drink with Song Yang, he left satisfied. This time he started the all-America tour, not only to gain public opinion for Netscape, but also to support the post-Netscape era. Make arrangements, that is, prepare to quit Netscape!

   The latter is even more important. After all, it is related to Jim Clark's pension money. Now that Song Yang's promise is in place, Jim Clark feels a little relieved.

Jim Clark can trust Song Yang's promise. As long as Song Yang is willing to take on the one that raises the price for Netscape, whether it is AOL, Yahoo, General Electric or other tech giants to acquire Netscape, it will take a big hemorrhage. , Anyway, as long as it doesn't sell to Microsoft, whoever pays the highest price will sell Netscape to anyone!

   Seeing the figure of Jim Clark leaving, Song Yang shook his head gently. If Netscape changed hands, then Silicon Valley would change.

Whether you want to admit it or not, Netscape is one of the facades that represented the Internet when the Internet rose in the past few years. Now, if Netscape falls from the altar, there will definitely be new Internet giants to replace Netscape's status. This industry will never lack industry leaders!

After    Jim Clark left, he talked for a while with a group of celebrities and the female family members of the founder of the Internet company, drank a lot of drinks, and returned to Song Yang with a red face.

   "Have you finished talking with Jim Clark?" Irene asked, leaning beside Song Yang with a sigh of relief.

Song Yang looked at her with a little bit of alcoholism, a little less of the usual strong woman style, and more of a soft and charming Irene. Song Yang couldn't help but move, thinking of her behavior like a little wild cat on the bed, he couldn't help but hug him. Irene's waist walked towards the outside of the villa.

   "After a while, we may have to witness a new history of the Internet!"

   After talking with Jim Clark, the purpose of this trip was basically completed, and Song Yang didn't have the heart to stay at the banquet any longer.

   "Bill Gates returned to America today. According to Bill Gates' personal assistant and a Microsoft spokesman, Bill Gates did not sue Godin, the cake attacker, and announced that he would not be held legally responsible!"

   In the morning, when Song Yang came to the conference room of the ICQ office building, there were quite a few executives of ICQ and other departments sitting in it, and they were watching the news on TV with great interest.

Bill Gates, who returned to America from Belgium, was inquired about by the powerful media. As soon as he got off the private plane, he was surrounded by a large number of media reporters and began to bombard and ask all kinds of questions. But the most important thing is the problem of throwing the cake.

Watching on TV, Bill Gates was exposed by a group of media reporters and asked Bill Gates why he became the person who was thrown the cake, and whether he was thrown because he couldn't stand Microsoft's monopoly, would Bill Gates be thrown? This person will be prosecuted and many other issues.

   A group of executives sitting in the conference room couldn't help laughing when they saw these lively reporters. Otherwise, they said that Microsoft was in trouble, and all sides praised it. This time, the media and reporters were obviously trying to catch Microsoft.

   When Song Yang entered the conference room, all the executives got up quickly, Song Yang waved his hand, and his eyes turned to the TV.

   "It's just an accident, Bill Gates has reached a settlement with Mr. Godin, the two of them even had dinner in Belgium and are now friends, it's just a prank, that's all!"

The lawyer who stood in front of Bill Gates told reporters to the media, emphasizing that Bill Gates used his strong personality to influence the attacker Noel Godin, and made it clear that he would not prosecute again. Godin.

   But when he said this, Bill Gates was surrounded by a lot of bodyguards, staring nervously around, for fear that another person would appear and throw something at Bill Gates!

Not only Bill Gates, but America's top tycoons in the past few days have seen a surge in demand for high-level security, especially those Wall Street companies and tycoons with bad reputations, such as Goldman Sachs, Carl Icahn and the like, this time is the most nervous, for fear of the leeks, they will also learn from Noel Godin and do something out of the ordinary. Even the old bus and Comrade Buffett don't drive that iconic old car again. Instead, it was replaced by an anti-theft car driven by a bodyguard to commute to get off work.

  After all, the leeks in America are really guns, if one can't think of it, and they really fight on Wall Street, then it is estimated that they will really stop!

This strong market demand has driven the security market in America, and Blackwater Security has become the biggest beneficiary. In just a few days, it has received more than 30 million US dollars in orders. It can be seen that the richest people in America They still care about their own lives.

After all, there are so many beautiful knives, if the little life is gone, then the remaining beautiful knives, I don’t know who is cheaper, think about it, hundreds of millions of billions of dollars worth of knives, if people suddenly disappear, then It is possible that other men spent the money he left behind, fell asleep with his model wife, and beat his cubs. Thinking of this, the annual security fee of millions of dollars provided by Blackwater Company does not seem to be that much. Expensive…

   "As you can see, the bodyguards around Bill Gates have all been replaced, so Bill Gates has probably fired all the security personnel around him!"

After the news clip, the TV host began to analyze frame by frame, and it was obvious that the security personnel beside Bill Gates in Belgium had disappeared, and the one who appeared beside Bill Gates had disappeared. The bodyguards are all new faces.

   That is to say, Bill Gates did not sue Noel Godin, but he did not swallow his anger, but took all his anger on the bodyguards, fired all the security staff, and replaced them with a new batch!

After seeing this, Song Yang asked people to turn off the TV, and Bill Gates chose the safest way to let the bodyguard take the blame, reconcile with Godin, and regain some of his reputation. The sub-classic scene is basically over.

The meeting room began to fill up one after another. Today was the last meeting before PayPal went live. Not only PayPal and ICQ in the same building, but also people from Fortis were present. Double-click, ebay, Yeadex and other companies also attended the meeting. will participate in this meeting by phone.

Irene finally entered the conference room. Irene, who was dressed in a lady's small suit, regained the image of a strong woman, with a cold expression on her face, but when her eyes met Song Yang, Irene immediately turned her head to the side. aside.

   Song Yang looked at Irene and couldn't help thinking of how wild Irene was in bed last night. He seemed to have guessed what Song Yang was thinking. After sitting down, Irene coughed and the meeting room suddenly became quiet.

   "PayPal is almost finished and will be launched on schedule!"

  Song Yang opened his mouth and said to the executives in the conference room and everyone who participated in the conference via the phone, "I need all departments to cooperate with PayPal's plan!"

   Meeting so many colleagues on behalf of PayPal for the first time, Aaron Swartz couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

   "On behalf of PayPal, I would like to thank you all for your support. Now that PayPal has been developed and is in the process of connecting with Comerica Bank, it is expected to be completed soon, and PayPal will start trial operation!"

Everyone who came to this conference today basically knew what they were here for. Just as Aaron Swartz finished speaking, Xie Qing, President of Fortinet, said at this time, "Fortinet's specially developed payment security system for PayPal has been After the development is completed, this security system will be embedded in the PayPal payment system, and each time a payment is made, the user's payment environment will be checked for security!"

   "In addition, the three secure computing centers invested by Fortinet and PayPal will also run in the near future, which will make PayPal one of the most secure companies in the world's Internet industry..."

When he said this, Xie Qing was confident. Fortis was the first to play online anti-virus software. Before, it provided anti-virus software support for Hotmail mailboxes, followed by ICQ and Xue Leshan Online. Lao Maozi's Yeadex, eBay, Amazon, Sohu, 8848, Softbank and other Internet companies provide security systems.

  Let's not mention anything else, just talking about experience, in the online antivirus industry alone, Fortis is the second, and no one dares to be the first!

  Xie Qing did not set up a flag, saying that the PayPal server is a fortress that hackers can never attack, but he also said that PayPal's security protection is the best in the Internet industry today, even surpassing the security protection level of many small banks.

   "In addition, Fortinet will also give away and sell UTM equipment to PayPal users!"

   Fertilizer and water do not flow to outsiders. Fortinet also wants to take advantage of the opportunity of PayPal to promote a wave of popularity and sell a wave of UTM anti-virus security equipment developed by Fortinet.

The current situation of Fortis is quite embarrassing. It seems to be very powerful, but it is not well received. Users, compared with Norton, McAfee and other enterprise-level paid antivirus software, it is too unprofitable.

  Xie Qing and Fortis are now counting on PayPal to develop. At that time, the antivirus industry will be in strong demand, and it will also drive Fortis UTM equipment bundled with PayPal!

   After Xie Qing finished speaking, Irene also said, ICQ and PayPal are in the same building, and even the office was lent by PayPal from ICQ, and the relationship between the two sides is also the closest.

   "ICQ will provide advertising support for PayPal on the space platform, and Snow Mountain Online will open a payment channel for PayPal and hold payment reduction activities!"

Irene is asking ICQ to pay for PayPal to advertise. Now, on Xue Leshan Online, eBay, Amazon and other platforms, when users pay, they generally choose credit cards, bank cards, and e-mails to pay, but the process is very cumbersome and requires various Validation and other aids.

   If you want Snow Mountain Online users to use PayPal to pay when buying games, it must be sweet, otherwise, how can you attract users to switch to PayPal.
