Back To 1995

   Chapter 486 The brain circuit is strange

  San Jose morning, after a sweaty run, Song Yang and Ulf practiced a few hands in the gym in the villa.

Song Yang didn't think about expecting to defeat Ulf, but if he learns a few hand-to-hand combat, he might be able to be of great use at critical moments, just like Bill Gates who was slapped with a cake, maybe one day Song Yang also If they meet, Song Yang doesn't want to be a "famous scene", that's still good, if it's like Kennedy riding in a convertible and being shot by someone, it's probably going to be a "underworld scene"!

   Practice a few hands with Ulf. When you encounter those things, you may not be able to escape, at least you can have a reaction time.

Downstairs in the villa, Gallo was holding a plate of steak and devoured it. When he saw Greg who came in, he said to Greg, "I have ordered a set of furniture, sent it to the villa, and called a design company. The villa was remodeled in the past!”

  Greek just bought a villa in San Jose, ready to take Anna to San Jose. It is not a top luxury house, but it is also in the wealthy area of ​​San Jose, and the price exceeds 3.5 million US dollars.

   Hearing Gallo's words, Gleek nodded. He used to dislike Gallo, but now Gleck is much more pleasing to Gallo. At least Gallo doesn't pull his hips so much now.

   As the co-president of the Blackwater Company, with the current situation of the Blackwater Company, Gallo is already worth a lot, and he no longer hangs out like he used to.

Gleek took a few glances and saw that Gallo came here this time, and brought a lot of security personnel to Song Yang here. Gleek knew that Song Yang was guarding against the small actions of the bank opponents, and the Asian side was obviously going to do something. .

   "When will you and Hailey get married?"

   After sitting down, Gleek asked Gallo with a stern face. At Gleek's age, the midlife crisis has passed, and even the past few years have far surpassed the first half of his life.

   Now, Gleek naturally pays more attention to his younger generation. As an Italian who is similar to the customs of the Chinese, especially someone like Gleek who also has a bit of traditional Italian style, he naturally pays the most attention to the next generation.

Hearing what Greg suddenly asked, Gallo, who was gorging himself, coughed suddenly. For the life he has now, Gallo feels pretty good, and it's okay to have a party with Eric, Evan Spiber and the others. , I can still find models and the like. After marrying Hailey and thinking about such a life, it will not be so easy.

   Facing Greg's gaze, Gallo felt a little guilty, "This needs to wait until Hailey finishes filming in Hollywood. We will have a plan!"

   "Remember what you said!" Greg said, glancing at Gallo.

   When Song Yang went downstairs after taking a bath, there were already many people in the villa, including Irene, Wesley, Aaron Swartz and others.

   When Wesley saw Aaron Swartz, he smiled and nodded to him. The two were in the same office building, and they naturally had contact with each other on weekdays, but they didn't have much dealings.

   And now, with the launch of PayPal, Aaron Swartz began to be touted by the Silicon Valley media as the "father of electronic payments", and Aaron Swartz was touted.

   When ICQ was launched, Wesley was known as the "Father of Instant Messaging". Now the father of instant messaging and the father of electronic payment meet. Both of them are in Silicon Valley and have left their names!

Having been through what Aaron Swartz is going through now, Wesley understands how Aaron Swartz feels right now, and of course he understands better that his title and Aaron Swartz's title are how to give.

When Song Yang went downstairs, on the Panda TV in the living room, ICNC was broadcasting the scene when Bill Gates and the Microsoft Lawyers entered the Capitol. Today, almost all news stations basically have this scene, but it's just that. The host and invited guests are different.

   "As of now, the Nasdaq has fallen by more than 5%, the biggest drop of the year. Legal experts are pessimistic about the Microsoft monopoly case. Wall Street analysts have also adjusted their stock rating to Microsoft to wait and see..."

Today is the day when Bill Gates participated in the Capitol Hill inquiry. The picture that the outside world expected one whale to fall and all things to live did not appear. Instead, Nasdaq was directly brought by Microsoft, which has a market value of nearly 300 billion US dollars. It collapsed, and the entire Nasdaq plummeted.

Now Silicon Valley is a little pessimistic about whether the Microsoft monopoly case will be lost, and whether it will be split after losing the case. It is really this time that the battle between Netscape and the Federal Department of Justice is really too big, even Microsoft is a bit pessimistic. Risk of being overturned.

As for Microsoft's collapse, Microsoft's rivals, such as Netscape, Sun, AOL, Oracle, etc., have not emerged today, but they have fallen worse than each other, especially Netscape. After the market opened today, the stock price plummeted by 8%, and the market value fell directly below US$5 billion. The market also heard rumors that Netscape may suffer huge losses in the new quarter!

   Silicon Valley is even more rumored, and people who were waiting to see Microsoft's jokes began to worry when things came to an end.

  If Microsoft loses the lawsuit and is split up, and the overlord of the technology industry can't hold it, then won't other technology companies be caught in the future? !

   As long as the Federal Ministry of Justice or the like catches the small tail, either a huge fine or a split, the next giant in the technology industry will probably not appear again.

All kinds of alarmist remarks that have ruined the American technology industry after Microsoft collapsed began to appear. It is not ruled out that these remarks were concocted by Microsoft to influence public opinion, but it did have an effect. Today, Nasdaq is falling one by one. awful.

Double-click is no exception. The stock price of Double-click has also fallen sharply today, and even Double-click is one of the protagonists of this rumor. It is said that the last double-click escaped disaster, but once Microsoft can’t hold it this time, I am afraid that the next one will be split. The thing is to double click the company!

   I don't know where it came from, but it was rumored to have noses and eyes. If it wasn't for Song Yang, who personally reached an agreement with the boss of the Federal Trade Commission, Demos Morris, it is estimated that these rumors would be believed.

   "Will Microsoft lose the case this time?"

Irene, who was sitting next to Song Yang, couldn't help but asked worriedly at this time, Microsoft has too much influence in the technology industry, what about PayPal, ICQ, etc., in front of the problem that Microsoft may be split, It's nothing.

For the Microsoft lawsuit, Irene is the same as everyone. She is both looking forward and a little worried. Once Microsoft is over, the impact will not only be on it, but the entire technology industry will be affected. Just like the rumored public opinion, Microsoft Can be split, which technology company dares to be undefeated?

  Even Irene is worried that if Microsoft fails, the big merger plan that ICQ is planning will be stranded. At that time, if ICQ merges into a giant, I am afraid it will also face the risk of being split.

   "Not necessarily, this is in Microsoft's hands, how many things are there, and Capitol Hill's attitude towards Microsoft!"

  Greek glanced at Irene and said, although the two of them are a little bit different, but on this kind of issue, the two of them still won't compete.

When he entered the Capitol, he smiled and waved to reporters with the media around the entrance of Capitol Hill, showing the style of the richest man in the world. The embarrassment of the cake.

   "I hope that Microsoft's lawsuit can be dragged on, and Microsoft can't collapse, at least for a few years!"

   When the TV camera turned to the hearing inside Capitol Hill, Song Yang sighed faintly.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Wesley, Aaron Swartz, Gallo and others all looked surprised and a little puzzled. According to normal logic, if Microsoft fell, then other tech giants would There is a chance to replace it, but Song Yang obviously doesn't want Microsoft to go down, even if Microsoft's bad luck this time, Song Yang doesn't secretly add to the block.

As a hearing that may be recorded in the history books, there are a lot of gentlemen on Capitol Hill today. The hearing is presided over by the Utah senator, who is now the boss of the federal Department of Justice, Orrin Hatch. .

   From today’s hearing, it can be seen that the Blemish Party has an advantage in the senators. Nearly half of the members of the House of Representatives who participated in the question today, including Orrin Hatch, are members of the Bleach Party.

Song Yang listened to Greck and pointed out the identities of Orrin Hatch and the others. He couldn't help but glanced at Bill Gates sympathetically. Today, if the person presiding over the hearing is from the Donkey Party, then maybe Bill Gates He will get out of the way, but like the party people, Bill Gates will definitely be embarrassed.

   It depends on whether the Elephant Party is going to be ruthless, or kill the chickens and warn the monkeys, by tossing Bill Gates, to warn the Silicon Valley side that in the next election, the technology companies in Silicon Valley must stand up, otherwise Microsoft will end.

  Song Yang looked at Bill Gates on TV. If the trouble of double-clicking was not solved, maybe Song Yang would be sitting in Bill Gates' seat today.

When the camera showed Orrin Hatch and several other congressmen, they all had serious faces, but when it came to Bill Gates, Bill Gates sat slanted, and he didn't seem to care about the Capitol Hill where he was. With a smile on his face, he chatted and laughed with the lawyers on the side from time to time, and the barrister John Walden, who accompanied Bill Gates, had a stiff smile on his face. Gates' attitude is very dissatisfied.

  Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel sitting below, looked even more serious and couldn't help covering his cheeks. He felt that the image he created for Bill Gates was completely gone.

No one knows what Bill Gates is thinking today, perhaps to express his toughness and dissatisfaction. In the face of the gentlemen on Capitol Hill, Bill Gates showed a tough confrontation, and a bit of arrogance, without any scruples. , Orin Hatch's face was already ashen.

   "Mr. Bill Gates, does Microsoft use its monopoly on the operating system to win the competition in the browser market?"

   The first question asked, although sharp, is quite satisfactory. After all, I am here today to find Bill Gates.

   And Bill Gates' answer was quite tough, "NO!"

   "Statistically, Microsoft is the most respected company in the world..."
