Back To 1995

As soon as    saw it, the reporters at the press conference threw various questions to Song Yang, whether he was optimistic about Apple's new computer, and whether he would sell Apple's stock.

There are even more outrageous, beating Song Yang words, what do you think about Steve Jobs, do you have any thoughts on joining Apple, this is obviously the old officials of Apple, who are not willing to be marginalized and want to counterattack, they can't deal with Steve Jobs, I just wanted to pull Song Yang along with him.

After all, Song Yang's reputation is there. Although Jobs' qualifications are older, Song Yang has no record of failure since he became famous. He can prove Song Yang's ability in many industries such as the Internet and mobile phones. In the computer industry, it shouldn't be a problem...

   This is not the media. They are not optimistic about Apple and Jobs, but are looking for topicality. After all, whether Apple's new computer is selling well, it will take a few days to know. If Song Yang said something today, it would be headline news.

Song Yang only responded to the gang of provocative media, "I am optimistic about Apple and Steve, I believe that Apple will become the lucky fruit bitten by God, I will not sell Apple stock, as long as Steve Still an apple day!"

Song Yang is not ready to enter the computer industry, at least not now. The computer industry seems to be booming. He can raise IBM, Dell, Compaq, HP, and many other computer brands in Asia, but the entire computer market is impossible. Play with flowers again.

   The other most important point is that Microsoft is now in its prime and dominates the computer operating system. Anyone who dares to touch this is equivalent to touching Microsoft's inverse scale, and will be mercilessly shot by Microsoft using various means.

   If you only produce one computer, but don't develop your own system, and make a wedding dress for Microsoft for nothing, then Song Yang would rather not play this line.

In the past, if he wanted to seize Apple while it was in trouble, then Song Yang didn't need to spend so much effort. He invested in Apple and bought Apple bonds, and the direct acquisition was done. The cost at that time was estimated to be no more than three or four. Billion Dollars.

But it is easy to buy Apple. After buying it, it is troublesome. It means that the cooperation with Microsoft is completely cut off, and it is necessary to face Microsoft's suppression. However, Song Yang a few years ago could not withstand Microsoft's onslaught. It's better to let the gang leader Joe return and let him continue to fight with Bill Gates.

   Hearing that Song Yang actually supported Jobs and would not compete with Jobs for control of Apple and sell Apple shares, those reporters lost their minds to talk again, and they couldn’t make big news, so why waste their efforts.

   In the lounge, Jobs, who was preparing to give a speech at the press conference, heard the news from his assistant that Song Yang was not interested in Apple's control and still supported him, and Jobs could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Don't look at Steve Jobs facing Apple's insiders, a posture of winning, but the pressure is not great, only he knows that this year, he has sprayed people, but to death, Apple's engineers and components The supplier, was almost driven crazy by him.

The directors and executives who were kicked out of Apple by Jobs have been eyeing them all the time. If the sales of Apple’s new phones are not good this time, it is estimated that what is waiting for Jobs is the second time they are kicked out of Apple, and it may even be better than Apple’s second time. It was a little embarrassing to go last time.

Song Yang, as Apple's largest individual shareholder with 6% of the shares, has always been on Jobs' side since Jobs returned to Apple for more than a year, including the representatives assigned to Apple, who have always voted for Jobs. Support ticket.

At this time, if Song Yang jumped backwards, with Song Yang's current worth and influence, it is enough for Jobs to drink a pot, and a large number of Apple directors and executives will definitely switch to Song Yang, even if Jobs can control the field. No matter how strong it is, it can maintain Apple's control, but Apple will inevitably have some turbulence!

   Putting down the speech, Jobs, who was still wearing black jeans, frowned when he remembered what he was going to talk about with Song Yang today.

   He invited Song Yang to come over today, not just to watch a product launch and feel his "reality distortion" strength, but to talk to Song Yang about another matter.

  Song Yang entered the conference venue and found that many acquaintances came today. As a veteran of the technology industry, no matter how the media commented on Jobs, his connections were definitely not bad.

   "Kevin!"

  Song Yang shook hands with Kevin Kelly, the editor-in-chief of Wired magazine and the "trumpeter" of the Internet, who is also an old acquaintance.

Compared with the past, Kevin Kelly's beard is now a bit longer. When he met Song Yang, Kevin Kelly was also very close. The relationship between the two sides has always been very close. He is also a testimony of Song Yang, an Internet upstart. one of the people.

   "Song, there is a lot of news about you now. I don't believe those media reports. I believe you will not quit the Internet industry!"

  Kevin Kelly pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Song Yang with an expression of seeing through the "rumours".

He is the trumpeter of the Internet, has been reporting Internet news, and has "acquainted" with people from all walks of life on the Internet. Maybe those people have not been interviewed by Kevin Kelly, but Kevin has reported them, and he is also a "bystander". From the perspective of ", I have analyzed the personalities of people from all walks of life on the Internet.

With Song Yang, Kevin Kelly is also the most acquainted and has known him the longest. To this day, Kevin still remembers the young man who stood outside the magazine early in the morning, waiting to see him. , Over the past few years, Kevin Kelly has also been paying attention to Song Yang, and Song Yang has never let him down. He doesn't believe that Song Yang just "handed over" the Internet industry.

   Facing Kevin Kelly's gaze, Song Yang smiled, "Kevin, I never said I would quit the Internet industry!"

Hearing this, Kevin Kelly burst into laughter. Song Yang did not seem to have said this, but in the face of Song Yang's continuous cashing out of Internet stocks and spending a lot of money on other industries, the media speculated it, and finally it became more and more rumored. The more outrageous.

  Kevin Kelly wanted to ask Song Yang again, he wanted to do an exclusive interview with Song Yang, but at this time, a figure suddenly came over angrily.

   "Damn, Song, you should stand up and let those damned guys know who is the boss of the Internet!"

   Seeing the titular "spiritual mentor" Tristan coming over, Song Yang helplessly laughed, "Professor Tristan!"

Tristan came here specifically to see Song Yang today. Before, on the TV station, he scolded people because of Song Yang, but he didn't spit on the other party. Professor Tristan was deeply ashamed, so he came over to meet him today. Song Yang.

   Seeing Song Yang, Tristan first angered the guest who was on the TV show with him before, and then began to tentatively ask Song Yang, "Song, what do you think of the current Internet?"

  Tristan was obviously a little out of his mind. He wondered if Song Yang was really fascinated by those days when he was intoxicated with money and money, and he really wanted to abandon the Internet.

Kevin Kelly on the side of    also looked at Song Yang. He was not worried that Song Yang would quit the Internet industry, but he also wanted to know what Song Yang thought about the Internet industry today.

The Internet industry today is very different from a few years ago. At that time, people who mixed with the Internet were regarded as swindling by many people. The practitioners who entered the Internet were all busy for a meal, not to mention becoming a billionaire. , it's good to have enough to eat.

But now, the Internet has become a gold mine. Countless people have entered this industry to dig for gold, and countless billionaires have been born, and even Song Yang has been pushed to the position of the richest man in America. The frenzy of the Internet has almost reached the fire. To the point of cooking oil and flowers, countless people want to squeeze in. It seems that if you enter the Internet industry, you can get hundreds of millions of worth at your fingertips!

"I think that the future world will still belong to the Internet, just like what Kevin wrote in your book "Out of Control", the future human beings may enter the era of the Internet of Things, and the Internet will be connected with the whole society and life. , completely integrated, the Internet will be ubiquitous.

   Of course, there may be some "little" twists and turns in the middle, after all, everything can't be smooth sailing! "

  Song Yang said to Tristan and Kevin Kelly that this is the first time Song Yang has expressed his attitude towards the Internet since ICQ went public, that the future is bright, but the road is tortuous.

Just like in the history books, some disasters brought by an understatement, the history books believe that this is just a small wave in the history of mankind, but for people living in that era, the small wave in the history book may be able to They all shot the huge waves to death!
