I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 612
[Chapter 607 Does it make sense?]
Tina Brown certainly understands what this means. Standard means monopoly, and monopoly means huge profits. This is a truth that has been proven countless times.
▆▅▃██.=.
Although governments around the world are clamoring against monopoly, and countless anti-monopoly investigations emerge every year, in fact, monopoly is everywhere, and it is also the ultimate goal pursued by countless companies.
Thinking that she might have the opportunity to participate in a brand new monopoly industry, Tina Brown was even slightly excited.
In the next week, Eric started the merger of the three companies without stopping, and finally determined that the former head of IE browser company Ian Grenier will be the CEO of the merged Yahoo Network, and Jeff Locke will be the CEO. Chief Operating Officer, still mainly responsible for the operation of Yahoo’s website, Steve Mitnick got the position of Chief Technology Officer as he wished, and will be responsible for all technical research projects of Yahoo Network in the future, and Tina Brown will serve as the general manager of Yahoo’s information department. edit.
The original IE browser, online mailbox and other services will also be renamed Yahoo browser and Yahoo mailbox in the next month, and the upcoming instant messaging software will also be named Yahoo chat room (-chat-), referred to as ybsp ; The main management framework of Yahoo Network was completed, and Chris also flew back to the United States from Finland, and immediately came to Boston.
Eric picked up Chris from the airport. The two did not go to the hotel, but went directly to Yahoo’s headquarters for the first high-level meeting after the company’s reorganization.
In recent days, perhaps because of Eric’s arrival, Yahoo’s headquarters building seems to be a lot cleaner.
Of course, Eric also knew that the real reason was that there was one more woman in the management of the original three big men. Tina Brown was second only to Ian Grenier in Yahoo Network Company, and was with Jeff Locke and Shi. Tiff Mitnick is quite similar. Although it is certain that Yahoo’s content editing department will not work in the headquarters, the distance between the two offices is only a few hundred meters. Compared with the three big men who are somewhat informal, for Tina Brown to come Say.
u8novel.com▄. She couldn’t tolerate the slightly scattered office environment of Yahoo in the past, so she personally arranged work such as logistics cleaning
Eric and Chris walked side by side on the neat stairs to the conference room on the top floor, chatting a little about Nokia’s situation along the way, and Chris asked at this time: “Didn’t you invite John Chambers and Stein? Husband Case. Are they here?”
Eric said: “Of course they came here after the layout was completed, otherwise I’m not sure if I can impress them 100% to join this plan, they will all be there tomorrow. Come here.”
Chris said: “If they don’t join the plan, I think they will regret it in the future.”
“There is no problem with Cisco, we are still the largest shareholder of Cisco. And the plan is very important to Cisco. Saying it is absolutely beneficial and harmless, John Chambers has no reason not to agree. But AOL might not,” Eric shook his head with a smile, and said,
“Although I prefer AOL to focus on an Internet company The identity of the service provider, but many of AOL’s services overlap with Yahoo, and even imitated Yahoo to launch a portal, it is not so easy to convince Steve Case to quit competing with Yahoo.
” Steve Case is a smart person, and he can definitely understand what kind of decision is most beneficial to AOL’s development.”
Eric smiled and shrugged, “Smart people are often very stubborn.”
Pushing the door Walking into the conference room, Ian Gunir and others who were talking in a low voice stopped chatting.
Net got up to say hello to Chris.
The content of today’s meeting is very important to Yahoo’s future exhibition, and the level of confidentiality has reached the highest level. The next-level company executives are not eligible to join this meeting. With Eric and Chris, there are only six people in the entire conference room. .
Eric already knew all the details of today’s meeting and thought about it countless times without relying on any copywriting materials. Two lines of simple phrases were written on the tablet.
“Ok,” Eric put down his pen.
He clapped his hands lightly and said, “Although many of you have already understood some of the content of today’s meeting more or less, today, you will hear the complete picture of Yahoo’s future exhibition plan.
” Type the two-line phrase on the clipboard.
Eric continued: “In the next few years, or the next ten years, all of Yahoo’s exhibitions will revolve around these two programs, the Yahoo Technology Alliance and the Yahoo Advertising Alliance.”
“First, the Yahoo Technology Alliance, after two years We have spared no effort in investing in technology. Yahoo has acquired the technology reserves that are absolutely ahead of the industry, and has successfully launched three successful products that change the habits of network users: Yahoo portal website, browser software and online email service, and we will launch more in the future. But at the same time, it would be a very stupid idea if we are only satisfied with this, it is difficult to maintain a pure technological leadership for a long time, then, in order to maintain Yahoo’s absolute leading position in the future, we It is necessary to promote the Internet technology developed by Yahoo to attract more companies and users to Yahoo’s technical standards. As long as Yahoo becomes the setter of the industry’s technical standards, we can form an invincible and huge alliance to bring All possible competitors are crushed in the bud.”
If Eric’s remarks at this time are recorded, it will definitely become an explosive evidence and irrefutable when Yahoo encounters an antitrust investigation in the future.
▆u▄8 hours ▄▇█ said the network▃.= However, at this time, the few people in the conference room were obviously not selfless advocates of the spirit of online sharing. For Eric’s undisguised ambition, Ian Grenier There was a frenzy in the eyes of the others.
“In the next year, the browser-based ies scripting language, the new mp3 audio technology and the image format will be used as Yahoo’s approved technology promotion projects, and will be licensed to the industry for free. Firefly Investments will provide more funds, I hope that Yahoo will become the first high-tech company in the world to launch dynamic image and even video playback technology that successfully runs on Internet software. At the same time, the company will also start research on online payment tools. , users can use this online payment tool to conduct any transaction through the network, whether it is virtual software product purchase or physical commodity transaction. I look forward to all Internet payment behaviors in the future will rely on the payment platform. ”
IResearch It was the first time that Ke revealed the idea of the tool, and noticed that Chris, Ian Grenier and others in the audience turned their attention to Steve Mitnick.
Eric smiled and said: “Don’t look at Steve, the online payment tool is something I only thought of in the last few days. Before I leave Boston, I will write a simple plan. But the specific technical research work will be decided by your few. I hope that within a year, you will be able to bring out the official product.”
Ian Ghenier asked: “This online payment tool definitely needs to cooperate with physical banks, will they be willing to cooperate with us? Eric said:
”
You don’t need to worry about this matter, I will follow up personally, as long as the platform you open can ensure security and practicality. ▃▄▃▇Net. I can pull enough for Yahoo! There
are many bank partners.”
Steve Mitnick rubbed his hands brightly and said, “Eric, I have a good idea…”
“Stop,” Eric smiled and stopped Steve Mitnick’s words, said: “I don’t know what you want to say, but I know your terms about encryption algorithms, software architecture, etc. I definitely don’t understand, so you are still at the end of the meeting. Discuss with Ian and the others later.”
Everyone suddenly laughed, and Steve Mitnick also smiled, making a frantic strangulation of Eric’s neck.
After the laughter.
Jeff Locke, a somewhat restrained character, raised his hand, and after receiving a nod from Eric, he said, “Eric, I think, if we really want to open it, we need to have an operating system platform focus, although we have already The browser software has been realized to run on all mainstream operating system platforms such as , , , etc., but when it comes to the user’s capital operation, security is absolutely the first, the more platforms, the less security can be guaranteed.”
Contact in previous lives When it came to computers, Microsoft already dominated the world, and Eric was used to it like many ordinary people, so he really didn’t take into account the current situation.
However, this is not a difficult question to decide. After pretending to think for a moment, Eric said, “Let’s start with the most popular operating system now. Graphical interface operating systems will definitely become the mainstream of personal computers, so we You can directly give up these platforms. There is no need to consider such an open source system.”
Ian Grenier said: “What about Apple’s, its popularity among the general user group is second only to the system, I think Can we conduct technical research based on these two platforms at the same time?”
Apple currently sells more than 10,000 PCs per year, although it seems trivial after more than ten years, but the annual sales of PCs in this era will only be several million , Apple’s market share is already quite large, Ian. Gnier’s attention to Apple’s operating system is not surprising.
However, if history does not deviate too much, after the launch of the operating system next year, Apple’s personal computer sales will experience a terrifying cliff-like decline, and the originally vigorous Apple will quickly slide to the brink of bankruptcy, even after Jobs returns, Apple can only have a foothold in the high-end field, and it is a very uneconomical thing to be tied at this time.
“We still have a lot of things to do. For those who are distracted and taking care of two platforms at the same time, it will delay the overall research progress. Therefore, we should start with the platform, accumulate enough technology and experience, and then launch other operating system platforms. The product will be very simple, and the time can be shortened a lot.”
“I think what Eric said makes a lot of sense, but in order to avoid other platforms that we don’t have time to take care of to be taken over by competitors, I think maybe we can merge with that live chat tool, so that at least we can ensure that we are in the user base. The absolute advantage,” Tina Brown said, smiled again, and said: “Also, Eric, I think this name is too uncreative.”
Eric said with a smile: “When everyone is used to it. With this name, someone will automatically add various connotations to it.”
Many chat tool names in the original time and space are nothing special, and after users get used to it, they automatically accept those names.
It’s fun to create a brand new chat tool short name for some little nasty fun.
Tina Brown spoke in support, and Ian Grenier and others also realized the benefits of doing so, and accepted the decision one after another.
“Then, next is the Yahoo Advertising Alliance,” Eric said. “The purpose of this plan is obvious, so I won’t explain the terms.” With a
faint laugh, Eric said in a slightly serious tone. : “But this plan will affect the life and death of Yahoo. Even if I don’t count any returns, the amount of money I can put into Yahoo is limited. If Yahoo can’t survive through its own profits, then all plans about Yahoo will be ruined. It’s empty talk, so Yahoo’s advertising affiliate program is more important than Yahoo’s technology alliance. The current network environment is very similar to the early public television network, and users currently have no concept of paying for network content except for network access fees. The possibility of charging users for content services is almost zero. Therefore, as the number of users continues to explode, it will become an inevitable means to realize the profit of the website through advertising. UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com Therefore, the next step for Yahoo! We must increase the development of advertising technology to achieve accurate and effective advertising, so that online advertising can achieve the same advertising effect as TV advertising, and corporate customers will be willing to pay for advertising on Yahoo.”
Tina Brown asked. : “Eric, you said ‘Yahoo Ads’, what do you mean by ‘Affiliate’?”
“The so-called alliance, of course, is to combine with other websites on the Internet. After all, Yahoo’s platform is limited, even if we have one million pages of 10 million pages of our own content in the future, compared to the huge cyberspace , Yahoo’s content is still insignificant. On the Internet, most websites are incapable of advertising operations. What we need to do is to unite these thousands of small websites and run advertisements in a unified manner. The website can also earn revenue through advertising sharing, which is a win-win solution, and Yahoo will also become the biggest winner.”
Chris has been listening to Eric’s explanation quietly, and he can’t help it at this time. For the first time, he asked: “Eric, even if it is technically possible to implement the affiliate program you said, does it really make sense to unite these tiny websites that don’t have much traffic?” (To be continued.)
