   Chapter 653 Big Fish Eat Small Fish

   Hearing Jim Clark's words, Song Yang was silent for a while. When Anderson was about to speak, Jim Clark shook his head slightly and did not let Anderson speak.

   After a while, Song Yang smiled casually, "Jim, as I said, I will support Netscape!"

No matter what you say, Jim Clark is the big brother of the Internet industry and a "warrior" against the evil dragon of Microsoft. Although the dragon slaughter has not yet been completed, it has its story on the rivers and lakes. At this juncture, Song Yang There is no need to pit Netscape, but you have to pull it.

   Looking at the two people in front of him, Song Yang made it clear, "Netscape is really ready to sell?!"

  Netscape is now the general trend, at least in America, it is completely difficult to compete with Microsoft's IE browser. Of course, there is still a chance, but it is too slim.

   Now the most valuable thing about Netscape is probably that brand, and then there are the technologies, patents, and developers in hand, and users are already dispensable.

Jim Clark nodded and behaved very calmly. After the first antitrust lawsuit with Microsoft failed to open the situation, he was a little disheartened. Now that Netscape is in a huge loss, let Jim Clark know , it's time to break the tail to survive, and when Netscape is worthless, that's the worst time.

   "If ICQ is interested in Netscape, Netscape is willing to talk to ICQ first!"

   Jim Clark said earnestly and enticingly, with a look of good relationship with Song Yang, it seems that as soon as Song Yang opens his mouth, he will sell Netscape to ICQ.

Anderson couldn't help lowering his head when he heard this. After all, he was not the Jim Clark of the old Jianghu. Song Yang was a contemporary of him. A few years ago, the media compared the two. At that time, Anderson was both famous and worth. The first person on the Internet who beat Song Yang, Yang Zhiyuan and others!

But now, Netscape may be sold to ICQ, Yahoo, AOL and other companies. For Anderson, who is naturally proud, this is tantamount to completely admitting that he is already a defeated army in the Internet industry, losing to Song Yang and Yang Zhiyuan. , Case et al.

Jim Clark stared at Song Yang. His words were not without purpose. As long as Song Yang was willing to acquire Netscape, he would sell it cheaper, and he would also sell it to Song Yang, so that Song Yang could inherit Netscape's last wish and follow up. Lawsuit, continue to fight with Microsoft!

Looking at the entire Internet industry, Jim Clark feels that he is most likely to fight and defeat Microsoft. He feels that Song Yang is the only one who is now the tool for cashing out on Wall Street. fight.

AOL's Case is arrogant and has always wanted to be the first person in the technology industry, but Jim Clark, who is familiar with Case's character, feels that Case is too eager for quick success. This war with Microsoft made Jim Clark think I understand, to defeat Microsoft, it will not happen overnight. According to Case's character, I am afraid that he will kill himself before he defeats AOL.

The rest are Oracle, Sun, IBM, etc. To be honest, they seem to be incompatible with Microsoft, but Jim Clark can see it clearly. Microsoft cleaned up one by one, because big data and servers are all done on the operating system. They hate Microsoft, but they can't do without Microsoft!

Only in the Internet industry can we beat Microsoft. Jim Clark has already seen it clearly, and on the Internet, who can compare to Song Yang, even if Yahoo and others seem to be bluffing, but Jim Clark dares to bet that he will fight Song Yang, The loser is definitely Yahoo.

  Only when Song Yang and Bill Gates fought each other, Jim Clark felt that he would have a chance to see the day Microsoft stepped down from the altar. For this reason, even if Netscape was sold to ICQ cheaply, what was it?

  Song Yang's face turned black and he glanced at Jim Clark, feeling that this guy was really full of bad water. Jim Clark was trying to kill two birds with one stone and clean up both Song Yang and Bill Gates.

Song Yang shook his head, not giving Jim Clark a chance to sell it, "ICQ has just been listed, and it has no ability to acquire Netscape. Netscape is a treasure of the Internet industry, even if it wants to sell it, it must get a price that matches its identity! "

   As soon as these words came out, Anderson, who had been sullen all the time, finally showed a slight smile, and suddenly felt that Song Yang seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye.

  Speaking of now, the outside world is falling into the trap, thinking that Netscape is worthless, but Song Yang actually thinks that Netscape should sell the purchase price that matches its status. Comparing the two sides, it is clear at a glance who pays more attention to Netscape.

   "Four billion dollars, Netscape's price should not be less than four billion dollars!"

Song Yangshi said in shock, Anderson opened his mouth wide, and Jim Clark was shocked. How much is Netscape's market value now, and since the beginning of this year, almost all the way down, even if the Internet industry is so hot, Netscape's market value is not very good .

  The users are almost lost. With a broken sign, a leased headquarters building, and hundreds of employees, Netscape is worth four billion dollars?

Anyway, it wasn't Song Yang who paid the money. He helped Netscape to rip off each other. If he could cheat one by one, Song Yang wanted to cheat AOL the most. It would be good if he could make a lot of blood from AOL. AOL is a dial-up Internet service provider. On behalf of the company, America Telecom is a broadband service provider, and only one of the two sides is destined to survive.

  If it spends billions of dollars to acquire Netscape, then AOL will spend a lot of time to transform broadband, and it may even completely lose the opportunity to transform the broadband market.

Another point is that whoever acquires Netscape shows which company has an anti-monopoly lawsuit against Microsoft. It is a life-and-death fight with Microsoft. It uses a Netscape to change AOL to entangle Microsoft, so as not to let Microsoft have the heart to be on the Internet. For Song Yang, this is the best deal for the industry to reach out.

   "ICQ will cooperate with Netscape to spread the news to the outside world that it will acquire Netscape!"

  Song Yang said to Jim Clark and Anderson, this is the game, ICQ is responsible for feinting, there is news that Netscape will be acquired, then attract other companies to enter the game, and finally is responsible for raising the price to help Netscape sell a sky-high price.

Jim Clark nodded. This is also the purpose of his visit this time. It is best to sell Netscape to ICQ. If you can't sell it, you can also let ICQ accompany Netscape to perform a big show. Anyway, there must be a good actor. In the industry, there are only three or five companies that can have this qualification.

   "Song, if Netscape can make a deal, I and Anderson will always be on your side!"

   Jim Clark said to Song Yang solemnly, this is also a promise to Song Yang that in the future he and his contacts will stand by Song Yang.
