The huge electoral vote gap of 370 to 163 has no room for change.

Bush Bush quickly admitted his defeat and congratulated Bill Clinton in Washington.

The Clintons are in Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas.

When Bush Bush acknowledged his defeat, Bill Clinton gave a winning speech for the first time, reaffirming a series of campaign promises, and also stated that his first priority after taking office was to restore the US economy.This attitude is in stark contrast to the image of the older Bush who does not care about the economy.

Therefore, the next morning, the North American stock market showed a clear rise.

Although the outcome has been divided, the dust of this election has not been completely settled.

In the final ballot data, Bill Clinton's support rate was 43%, George Bush's support rate was 38%, and the last third-party independent candidate, Ross Perot, although he did not receive an electoral vote Yes, but the billionaire’s universal vote support rate is as high as 19%.

Ross Perot abruptly withdrew from the election in July when the two parties’ candidates were finalized, leaving the two final candidates with enough room to play. They were suddenly killed in October and pointed directly at George Bush, the joint of which , Must not be described as a coincidence.

Unlike the huge gap between electoral votes, Bill Clinton's general election support rate is only 5% ahead of George Bush, and the gap is not obvious.

If there were no up to 19% of votes voted by Ross Perot, most of them came from the same conservative camp as Bush, the victory of this election is really unpredictable.

After this election, for many years to come, the two parties in the United States dared not ignore the interference of independent candidates in the presidential election.

Even further, they began to actively use this interference.

In Simon's memory, in the 2000 Bush Jr. Gore showdown, the Republican Party relied on his own way, and also used independent candidates to share Gore's votes. In the end, Bush Jr. barely won with a very controversial weak advantage. Won the election.

On the other hand, Internet media has completely become a new force that can influence the direction of public opinion in elections.

The key to why the Hirst family, Newhouse family, and other media families are attracted by the upper levels of the Federation is that they have huge media resources and control the right to speak that can influence the direction of public opinion.

After a long period of integration and evolution, the traditional TV media and paper media power structure has been difficult to change. These old media families originally thought that they would prosper for a long time. The sudden emergence of Internet media caught many people off guard.

Although established media giants such as ABC and other traditional TV networks and Hearst Group have started to operate their own consulting websites in the past two years, in order to avoid the core business from being affected, investment in Internet media platforms has been pitiful and cannot be compared with The information business of the Igrid Portal competes.

The most important point is that the Eaglenet portal also controls the interface of the entire World Wide Web.

The current World Wide Web, for ordinary people, is basically equivalent to the entire Internet.

Relying on the browser software as a barrier-level weapon, as long as the public uses the Internet to open the browser software, the Igrid portal is the first to jump out.

Like many navigation websites in Simon’s memory, Igrid Portal, at least a simple portal framework is very easy to copy, but the more core, such as e-mail technology, search attentive technology, etc., is not so easy to follow suit The issue of technology patents must also be involved.

Moreover, because of the preconceived notion, Eaglet has developed the IE browser, using the Eaglet portal as the homepage, and it is a homepage that cannot be changed at all, which is taken for granted by many people.

If you copy a portal site, according to the normal logic of most people, it is also natural to be blocked by Eaglet.

All in all, although the number of Internet sites has shown an exponential increase,

All in all, a new media force such as Internet media is basically in the hands of Igret, and it is at a higher level, or in the Westeros system.

In the last month of the election, Igrid's portal Bill Clinton's apparent tendency to report the specific results. The company did not disclose relevant data, and the outside world can only speculate on this.

However, on the day of the election, the real-time report on the first town in New Hampshire to start voting even affected the London crude oil futures trading market. Although there may be some influence of CNN, this is the most intuitive. The effect of public opinion control can no longer be ignored by anyone.

Simon just watched Clinton's winning speech in San Francisco, and the incoming new president expressed his gratitude through Joseph Shrap in less than half an hour.

The timing is too sensitive and the two are not suitable for direct conversation.

Not only that, but Clinton also came over and said that he would arrange a visit to Silicon Valley as soon as possible after taking office next year.

Visiting Silicon Valley is actually an attitude and a promise.

When Bill Clinton was only one of the candidates, the Westero system directly bet began to help clean up some of the broken things of this one. Clinton expressed his attitude at this time, which is enough to see that the Westero system has been more than a year. The payment is not in vain.

The Clintons have been able to spend decades in American politics, largely because they are really credible, and promised benefits will be fulfilled as much as possible, so compared with the Kennedy family and the Bush family, these political giants have experienced generations of operations Only finally reached the summit, the couple almost created a very large network of political connections almost from scratch, and later almost became the first husband and wife president in American politics.

In the final stage of the election, the White House was also in an aggressive state in the face of the standing team of the Igret portal. It also claimed through the Ministry of Justice that it would conduct an antitrust investigation into the IE browser software.

However, as Bush's defeat has been decided, things have also undergone very subtle changes.

The Bush family has very mature political qualities, and the election of the older Bush is far from the end of the Bush family’s political life. Therefore, the other party is also very clear that it is too dead to offend Simon Westero. benefit.

The remarks just launched last month to investigate the IE browser cannot of course be swallowed directly. However, on the second day after the election, there was news from the White House that Igrid Portal had been trying to obtain interviews from the White House conference. The qualification suddenly passed the review.

Before that, as a new media platform that had just emerged, the White House had refused to issue a White House press card for the Igret portal for various reasons.

Whether you can qualify for interviews at the White House press conference is an important manifestation of the influence of the US media.

Although it was also foreseen that the White House suddenly came in such a hand, there may be some intentions to provoke the traditional media and the Igreat portal to target each other, but Simon still admires the simplicity of the old Bush.

Actually it is.

The results of the election have been released. A small White House reporter has proved that if the old Bush still hangs on, he can only drag on for another three months.

Passing at this time has both provocation and temptation.

To test whether the Igrid portal has the possibility of being drawn, even if I do not ask the Igrid portal to go directly to the Republican Party, but as long as I remain neutral in the future, it is also a gain.

Real, false, false, real.

Facing the temptations of the White House, the Igrid Portal then published a news about the current president in response to the important section.

On the other hand, with the end of this general election, Simon also predicted that next year will be a year in which the Internet industry will explode even more.

Affected by the big butterfly of Simon, the graphical interface browser software was launched three years in advance. The Igrid portal has just been launched, and the business model is close to the level around the new century, whether it is functions such as e-mail or online consulting The content business, etc., with the substantial investment of the Westeros system almost burning money, also quickly reached a level rich enough to attract ordinary public users.

For current Americans, it costs about $30 per month, which is roughly equivalent to the price of one or two newspapers for daily subscriptions, but the service is far more than the content information that one or two newspapers can provide. This is undoubtedly Very cost-effective.

Moreover, the most critical point is that as one of the most developed countries in the world, the American public has a strong spending power.

In the country where Simon used to live, video recorders and DVD players, from birth to recession, throughout the life cycle, the penetration rate has not been too high.However, in the United States, whether it is a video recorder or a DVD player, the household penetration rate reached more than 80%.

The same is true for personal computers and the Internet.

On the original timeline, the graphical interface browser was born in 1993, and Yahoo was established in 1995, and then began the era of Internet explosion.

From 1995 to 2000, in just five years, the number of Internet users in the United States had reached 110 million, far exceeding the Internet penetration rate of other countries.

Now, with both hardware and software foundations in mind, Simon has advanced the development of the Internet industry by three to five years by spare no effort.

It is estimated that by the end of 1992, the number of users accessing the World Wide Web in the United States will reach about 28 million, and the number of Internet users specifically covered will exceed 40 million.

It took only three years to start from 1990 and end in 1992.

Supported by strong consumer power, by 1995, the number of Internet users in the United States is likely to be close to the original 2000 level in space and time.

Of course, on the other hand, because of Simon's "growing seedlings", the capital market's response to the Internet industry is still a bit sluggish.

In the last two years of the Internet bubble from 1999 to 2000 on the original timeline, irrational super bursts occurred in technology stocks.This time, capital has not followed the industry eruptions. Although technology stocks have begun to be sought after, they have not reached the stage of take-off.

However, this time is still next year.

The main reason is the European currency crisis just past.

It is just the British government that has smashed more than 20 billion pounds in order to maintain the pound exchange rate. This money will not disappear out of thin air. In addition, countries such as Italy, France, and Spain have suffered heavy losses in this crisis. Obtained international hot money mainly in the United States.

Just as the Asian financial turmoil in 1997 brought large sums of money to push North American Internet technology stocks, this time, the large sums of money obtained by international hot money will naturally instinctively look for investment channels with more appreciation potential.

Europe has begun a new round of economic recession, and Asia is already Japan’s back garden.

Therefore, the new technology and Internet industries in North America seem to be more appropriate.

It was already the end of the year. After the election, Simon remained in San Francisco to discuss the company's development plans for next year with a senior executive of Igerit.

First, we must further open up.

The e-mail technology authorization with Microsoft and AOL has been negotiated, but a third party who has nothing to do with Westeros has yet to be found.

At this stage, important new technology companies related to the Internet are almost all related to the Westeros system.

If it is simply authorized to a weak third-party company, the other party is likely to be acquired by established giants such as IBM in a blink of an eye.Even if it is possible to lock this in the technology licensing agreement, it is actually better to authorize the technology to an enterprise that is too weak.

Therefore, for the time being, only Microsoft and AOL are the two.

As for what the outside world thinks, that can only be left to the other party.

At the same time, in the discussion in recent years, Igrid once again decided to put some relatively basic patents into the World Wide Web Consortium Foundation and completely open it to the industry for free.

Simon is actually considering Igrid’s abandonment of some non-core businesses in order to give other Internet companies enough room to grow.

However, at this stage, Igrid still supports most of the services of the entire Internet platform, whether it is an email, an online forum, a software store, or a personal blog, etc., are not suitable for giving up.

Even if you want to give up, it is still a matter of going public.

To be more precise, it is better to wait until the dotcom bubble bursts. At that time, the Igrid portal can naturally get rid of many non-core businesses on the grounds of streamlining the business.

At this stage, if there is one more business, the future stock price will increase by one point.

There is also the issue of splitting, which also involves future listing issues.

Although there are often conflicts between Jeff Bezos and Carol Bartz, two powerful managers, they have also opposed the request for Simon's split.

In general, Igrid’s basic services and network services complement each other.
