Hollywood Hunter

Although Bill Gates talked about the pre-installation of IE in the overseas Windows system, the details of the cooperation will inevitably be a bit rash. However, as long as the cooperation is confirmed, other details are irrelevant.

With this cooperation, the relationship between Microsoft and the Westeros system was completely broken.

Since he no longer embraces the idea of ​​pulling Microsoft, Simon's strategy for the operating system giant has changed accordingly.

A series of threat clauses on Saturday morning, in addition to reducing Microsoft’s shareholding, to accelerate the development of the Linux operating system and the plan to block Microsoft in the Internet field, Simon will carry out practical advances, just different from the radical threat, but intends Take the frog in warm water.

Leaving Seattle that day, Simon rushed directly to San Francisco and carefully discussed several matters after the break with Microsoft.

After a discussion on Saturday and afternoon, a series of coping strategies were basically finalized.

The first is to speed up the development of the Linux operating system, and plans to officially release the PC version of the Linux system with a graphical interface by 1997 at the latest.

To achieve this goal, Eaglet will increase cooperation with SUN.

In fact, through some cooperation and exchange, Eaglet has quietly obtained the permanent authorization of the Java language from SUN, and has been developing and perfecting a software development platform based on the Java language.

Those who pay a little attention to the dynamics of the IT industry probably understand that the development of operating systems is not difficult. The key lies in the construction of software ecology in the field of operating systems.

No one develops software for your system, even if this system is excellent, it is a futile effort.

To create a software ecosystem, the most basic requirement is a software development platform.However, the most popular development language at the moment is Microsoft's C language. Once Igrid releases its own operating system, the door classmates will certainly not let Linux systems use C language to develop software.

Java is an inevitable choice for Linux systems.

Moreover, the Java language is actually a computer programming language that is better than the C language. It has a strong advantage over the C language in many aspects such as adapting to the network environment.Once suppressed by C language for a long time, the key is the strength of Microsoft and the decline of SUN.

In addition to SUN, Simon also aimed at the declining Apple.

The reason is still patent.

Although Apple has fallen, but because it is earlier than Microsoft in the development of the graphical interface operating system, it holds a large number of core patents that can compete with Microsoft Windows. Only when Apple is won, Igreit can resist Microsoft's operating system. Patent barriers established in the field.

The second is to block Microsoft in the Internet field.

After the meeting on Saturday afternoon, unless necessary, Eaglet will not grant any key patents related to the Internet to Microsoft.

As for the business that Microsoft has already started, the Eaglet team also has sufficient means to quietly suppress it.

Even without the need for Igrid, Microsoft started to do stupid things by itself.

In the face of Simon’s persecution, after IE pre-installed compromises, on the Monday morning of the new week, Simon received a call from Bezos. Igrid’s advertising business department suddenly received a notice that several Microsoft companies will invest in the second quarter. The advertising budget of Igrid’s platforms is cut in half.

In the past year, Microsoft was one of Igrete’s important advertisers. Throughout 1994, only Microsoft’s advertising budget for Igrete’s various platforms reached 55 million US dollars, mainly to promote its own operating system. , Office software and data center.

Although it is almost a'single business', both Simon and Eaglet's management understand that their business can only last for a long time if advertisers are truly benefited.Therefore, the operation team has always attached great importance to the feedback of the advertising performance of each platform, as far as possible to ensure that the effectiveness of online advertising is not lost to traditional advertising platforms.

Because of this strict requirement, although the fees are high, the advertising effect of the Igreat platform is also very high.

Previously as a special partner of the Westeros system, Microsoft also wanted to take special care. The $55 million in advertising in 1994 brought all the gains of this software giant to the traditional media 1 Billions of dollars in advertising.

The relationship between the two parties was completely broken, and Simon was still considering how to compress Microsoft's sense of presence on various advertising platforms in Igret. Unexpectedly, it was obviously a gated student with a fevered mind, and actively reduced the advertising budget planned for Igret.

This can only be described as stupid.

In traditional business operations, some advertisers will put pressure on some media platforms by means such as reducing the advertising budget, forcing the other party to make various compromises in public opinion. However, this kind of advertising budget reduction by Microsoft has It doesn't matter at all.

You should know that because of the monopoly of mainstream Internet traffic, the current Igreut’s advertising business is completely a “buyer’s market”. Microsoft has given up its own advertising resources, and other customers will soon be unable to fill it in. Even after removing the special offer for Microsoft, Igret can gain more.

In comparison, Microsoft has lost its Igrid platform and must invest more in order to obtain the same advertising effect in other channels.Moreover, services such as data centers that rely heavily on the promotion of Internet platforms have lost support from Igret and will only become more difficult to develop.

Not only that, the door classmates also tested Simon through Paul Allen, trying to raise funds to buy all the Microsoft stock he held.

Probably this is Gates has been thinking for a long time.

It was only because of the rising share price of Microsoft in the past few years and that the relationship between the two sides remained basically harmonious.

Now, even if the value of these shares has exceeded 20 billion US dollars, Da Men finally made up their minds.

Microsoft will certainly not be able to provide more than 20 billion US dollars of funds. However, with Microsoft's current development momentum, Gates has combined some Wall Street or overseas capital to raise more than 20 billion US dollars, which is actually not a problem.Anyway, as long as the equity is not in Simon's hands.

It's a pity that Simon wants to buy it, but Simon doesn't plan to sell it.

The door classmates cut their advertising input on the Igreat platform with a fevered mind, but Simon did not have a fevered mind.

The current stake is before Igrid’s Linux operating system is enough to compete with Microsoft. Simon is the most important bargaining chip for the door classmates. As long as he holds these shares, Simon has a considerable say in this company.

What's more, under the suppression of the Westeros system, even if this time Microsoft's market value can no longer rush to the high of 600 billion US dollars, the market capitalization of the new peak of the new technology wave of two or three hundred billion dollars is certainly no problem.Selling now, it must have been a great loss for Simon.

Dumei Point Estate, Malibu.

After dealing with Seattle and San Francisco, Simon returned to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon.

Today is March 13.

on Monday.

Janet's 35th birthday.

The evening birthday party starts at seven o'clock in the afternoon, far more lively than Simon's birthday party last month.

For a long time after the acquaintance, Janet was very concerned about his age.However, after the age of 30, the woman's temperament changed slightly after becoming a wife and mother, but the passage of time did not leave many marks on her body. The initial worries finally let go.

Simon's previous life always saw the argument that Western women tend to grow old, but they did not approve at that time.

The change of a person's physical appearance is greatly affected by his natural constitution and living environment.

Both East and West, there are many "goblins" that are inherently resistant to the erosion of the years. This is true of Simon, Catherine and Janet.

Once in time and space, Catherine Bigelow became the first female best director in Oscar history in 2010. At the time of the Oscar podium, Catherine, still dressed in a brown evening dress, even said that she was still in her 30s or 40s I believe, however, that the female director was actually born in 1951, at the time in 2010.

In addition to God’s appetite for meals, long-term respected women and those who have to be busy with rice, oil, and salt will naturally have different appearances at the same age.I can often see on the Internet that Russian girls become aunts after marriage. In fact, if the living conditions are ordinary and under labor, where are women after marriage?

The birthday party scene in the shell villa.

Wearing a burgundy evening dress that she still didn’t like over the years, Janet took Simon’s arm through the crowd, a mature and calm, an elegant and bright, even if you know the age difference between the two, even if you want to pick it secretly Some flawed guests will inevitably feel that this pair is just as good.

When the two approached themselves, even after so many years, Catherine Bigelow felt that everything was the same.

At the beginning, the teenagers who gave people a sense of maturity far more than their peers were still young and calm.

The young girl who once kept the heart of the girl still jumped out of the bright.

However, from 1986 to 1995, many years have passed unconsciously.

Embracing Janet in his arms affectionately, saying Happy Birthday, he looked at a young man again, his smile warm, and he naturally returned a smile.

In the chat room, I mentioned that I recently had another cat.

It is a very beautiful short.

There are now two puppies and three cats in the house.

Janet happily said that she must visit when she was free, and complained that Simon did not like pets, so she had nothing at home.

Simon was very wronged.

Obviously, neither of them like pets, okay.

Janet will certainly not reveal at this time, for example, a guy actually likes to keep pets, but it is very anti-human to say that it is broken.

After chatting with Catherine for a while, Sandra Bullock, who met very early, also came over.

Embracing and sending birthday wishes, the girl's eyes flickered slightly, and looked at the pair of people in front of them with envy, just talking about some recent anecdotes and trivia.

Simon is very considerate and actively mentioned that several recent projects are not suitable for Sandra, all they need is some beautiful vases.I also joked that as the muse who filmed "Rola Run" with herself, if there is a suitable opportunity, she is of course the first consideration.

Sandra was a little embarrassed.

Since missing a certain period of love, Sandra has focused more on her career in recent years.

Relying on Simon’s support, Sandra has maintained a first-line level, but the pattern of Hollywood has changed faster and faster in recent years. She feels that she can’t keep up with the pace, and, inevitably, the chance of meeting Simon The less coming, it was privately and Janet often go shopping together for dinner, but Janet didn't pay much attention to Daenerys at all.

During this time, Daenerys was preparing a series of large projects. As long as she could get the script, Sandra had basically seen it, tried to contact some characters, and also had several phone calls with Simon. Unfortunately, there was no result. Therefore, it is inevitable to be anxious.

In the circle, there are stars at the top of the pyramid, but there are always various psychological problems. Most of them are derived from this kind of anxiety and anxiety.

Simon is a very nostalgic person, and certainly will not forget Sandra.

However, these recent projects are really not suitable for each other. He hopes that Sandra can become a real top actress, not a vase in some special effects blockbuster.

Hearing Simon said that Sandra was his own muse, Janet was immediately dissatisfied, and said that she was jealous, and it was a bad kind.

Sandra confessed with a smile, he made a boyfriend, only worried that he was too low self-esteem in front of a guy, did not bring it today.

Simon heard that, covering his heart with'heartache', Janet lightly beat him a few times.

At eight o'clock, in front of the hill-like birthday cake, we sang the blessing song together and cut the cake. At the reminder of the waiter, the guests gathered in pairs in the center of the hall.

The song "Young and Beautiful" quietly rehearsed for half a month sounded.

A little girl sang live.

In this circle, Christina opened her mouth, and all the guests at the scene were the first to present the stunning. Whether it is a slow dance embracing on the dance floor in the center of the hall, or a fine taste of holding champagne and red wine around, they are immersed in it.

The two protagonists tonight are naturally at the very center of the dance floor.

Janet hugged Simon in front of her eyes and buried her head in the neck of the man. When the song was halfway through, she suddenly moved to Simon's ear with some emotion: "Thank you."

Simon smiled and kissed the woman's earlobe sideways, and said softly, "Me too."

Janet was soft and seemed to say something inexplicably: "Little bastard, grab me."

Simon immediately noticed that he caught Janet's right arm that had been wrapped around him and held it on the woman's wrist.

It's just that there is no more strength.

Janet rubbed contentedly on Simon's cheek, thoroughly airing her thoughts, and indulging in the moment.

The singing echoed in the hall.

*Lord, when I go to heaven, please allow me to go with my lover.

*Please open the door to him.

*Please lower the grace.

*That personable, that majestic shore.

* That handsome face.

*That is the light of my faith, that is the other side of my sinking.
