Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Invitation

   Facing McNealy, who was a bit drunk, Jim Clark was annoyed, but he didn't dare to quarrel with McNealy, who had just reached the pinnacle of his life today, in front of so many people.

   "Jim, today is a memorable day!" McNealy handed Jim a glass of champagne. He didn't seem to see Jim's anger, maybe he could see it, but he didn't care.

  Jim Clark pushed away his wine glass, looked at McNealy, and said solemnly, "President McNealy, let's talk!"

  Looking at his "old brother" in the Internet industry, McNealy finally regained his composure, and went to a side room with Jim Clark.

  As soon as he entered the room, Jim Clark asked McNealy, "What exactly does SUN want to do, McNealy, do you know what java licensing to Microsoft will bring us?!"

   Facing Jim Clark who seemed to be reprimanding him, McNealy showed displeasure. Even Bill Gates bowed to him, but Jim was gesticulating in front of him. Of course, McNealy was unhappy.

However, facing SUN's closest collaborator on the Internet, McNealy suppressed his temper and said to Jim with a smile, "Relax Jim, Microsoft has surrendered. Today is the first step to sound Microsoft's death knell. We will Win this war!"

Jim Clark didn't like this, and he was still very angry. Not only was he dissatisfied that Sun had given the java technology to Microsoft, but he was even more dissatisfied that Sun had never discussed this matter with Netscape from the beginning to the end. Netscape, which made JAVA technology popular, was not taken seriously.

   "Netscape is at war with Microsoft. Sun suddenly licensed JAVA to Microsoft. Once IE browser can use JVAV to edit programs, Netscape will lose the support of many software developers!"

   "SUN must withdraw the JVAV technology authorization from Microsoft!"

Listening to Jim Clark's rant, the smile on McNealy's face has been completely lost, especially when he heard that Jim actually asked McNeely to destroy the Great Wall, because he was afraid of Microsoft, he took back the JAVA license, and the glory he got today After going back and becoming a joke in the tech industry, McNealy couldn't take it anymore.

  Looking at Jim Clark, McNealy said coldly, "JVAV technology belongs to SUN, and licensing to Microsoft is the decision of SUN's board of directors. You have no right to deny all of this!"

   Jim Clark felt chills, knowing that the relationship between Netscape and SUN had completely changed at this moment, and McNealy had no intention of continuing to fight with Microsoft and Bill Gates, because he believed that he had already won.

Looking at Jim Clark who was "shocked" by himself, McNealy used the "softness" method of the emperor's mind to appease Jim Clark, "Jim, don't worry, SUN will always stand by your side, with SUN Today, Microsoft cannot beat Netscape in the browser market."

  McNeely is declaring his dominance. In the future, SUN will be the talker of the alliance between Netscape and SUN. It needs Netscape to cooperate with SUN, not Netscape to decide everything.

   "Then, it's time for us to hold a banquet. Today's champagne is the most delicious I've ever had in so many years, even surpassing when Sun went public. Jim, you should try it!" McNealy said with a smile.

  Jim Clark didn't stay at the banquet, and left the banquet with a bit of dismay. He left the venue where the banquet was held. Looking at the scene of the banquet inside, Jim Clark couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

  SUN company let Microsoft go this time. Jim Clark didn't know if he was going back to the mountain, but Jim had a hunch that Microsoft might not let SUN go so easily next time!

He returned to the Netscape headquarters overnight. Unlike Microsoft, which entered a state of war and canceled vacations for all employees and started working overtime, Netscape, in order to show its confidence and express the mentality of being able to defeat Microsoft's IE browser, instead banned employees work overtime.

  That's right, overtime work is prohibited. Netscape paid the development department staff to sign up for outdoor courses such as diving and rock climbing, so that Netscape staff can relax.

  This kind of strong contrast highlights the Bige of Netscape. When the media reports on Microsoft and Netscape, when dealing with this browser war, they are of course more willing to tout Netscape, which has a certain chance of winning.

Compared with the two, Microsoft is more like a novice who seems to be in a hurry. He can't fight the frontal battlefield and uses some tricks that are not on the table. Netscape is more "stable". This is why the media thinks that Netscape can win. The reason is, after all, Netscape seems to be too "stable". At this time, employees are given vacations. If they are not sure of winning, how dare they do it?!

  When Jim Clark returned to the headquarters office, Mark Anderson and Baxter were waiting for Jim.

Give other people vacations. The three people who are actually in charge of Netscape don't dare to take vacations. If they take vacations, Netscape will really lie down. Clark, Anderson, and Baxter are indeed a little proud, but they haven't completely limped themselves.

   Facing the gazes of Anderson and Baxter, Jim Clark shook his head helplessly, "McNealy is unwilling to take back the license. Sun has really settled with Microsoft. Sun is no longer reliable!"

Anderson scolded a word starting with F, "McNeely is simply crazy. If Microsoft touts him, he really regards himself as the emperor of the technology industry. He has forgotten what Microsoft did before. I can guarantee that SUN will definitely I will regret giving JAVA technology to Microsoft today."

Baxter is also a bit overwhelmed at this time. The alliance between SUN and Netscape is the basis for connecting the Internet and the software industry, but now SUN suddenly reconciles with Microsoft, which means that this alliance has been disintegrated. Those who cooperate with this alliance Software and Internet companies can also cooperate with Microsoft without any scruples. Regardless of SUN, they have cooperated with Microsoft. Are they not allowed to cooperate with Microsoft? !

  "We need to think about how to do it in the future. Losing SUN means that we have to face more pressure from Microsoft!"

   "I heard that this time Microsoft invited many Internet companies to participate in the developer conference. We need to avoid such things as SUN from happening again, and we cannot let the Internet industry fall to Microsoft." Baxter raised a very realistic question.

SUN this time, not only for itself, but also for a very bad start, that is, it does not have to fight to the death with Microsoft, as the leader of the anti-Microsoft alliance, it has done this, so what about other companies? need to worry about.

   "Companies in the Internet industry must not be allowed to participate in Microsoft's developer conference, otherwise Netscape will lose its influence on the Internet. I am worried that some Internet companies will come together with Microsoft!"

  Mark Anderson, the little fat man, said meaningfully, and of course Jim Clark knew who he was talking about.

   "Call companies like Yahoo, AOL, and Lycos to prevent them from attending the Microsoft conference. I'll call Bruno Song myself!" Jim Clark said while looking at the two.

   Song Yang, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly received a call from Jim Clark. When he answered the phone, Song Yang said angrily, "Jim, this is not a good habit of yours!"

   "Song, now is indeed a special moment. Netscape has always supported you, from double-click to Hotmail. Now it's time for you to give back to Netscape."

Listening to the voice on the phone, Song Yang didn't know where to start for a while. Netscape did help him, but double-clicking has already returned it several times. Netscape's listing performance, and Double-clicking part of the credit, the two sides at most get what they need, and it's a bit of a joke when it comes to who owes whom. Song Yang has not forgotten the treatment he received at Netscape when he first came to the door.

   Now that Jim Clark is taking the credit for Double-Click and Hotmail, Song Yang resisted the urge to make complaints about it, and groaned for not re-accounting for him, saving some face for Jim Clark.

   "Song, you should have received an invitation from Microsoft, and I hope you reject this invitation!" Jim Clark said directly.

Song Yang sneered, Netscape really took a little more care, "Jim, you are too nervous, I am afraid I am not the only one who wants to be invited, other Internet companies, Netscape are also all Have you blocked it? You must know that the Windows version of Hotmail is the group with the largest number of users. We can't offend Microsoft for some unreasonable reason..."

  Song Yang almost made it clear that offending Microsoft for Netscape was not worth it to him at all.

  Frustrated one after another today, angered by McNealy and rejected by Song Yang, this made Jim Clark completely angry, "Song, I need you to think about it, maybe one wrong decision of yours will bring you to hell!"

Hearing Chi Guoguo's threat, Song Yang immediately said in a mocking tone, "Then Jim, are you going to join forces with the Federal Communications Commission to implement data protection laws and make people unsubscribe from emails, or do you want to Come to an Internet advertising law to dismantle double-click?!"

Jim Clark choked for a while. He didn't expect Song Yang to bring it up directly. These were indeed backhands arranged by Jim secretly, just to target Song Yang, but he didn't expect Song Yang to point it out directly, especially the sentence about United Federation The Communications Committee is very taboo. It's like a undercover boy in the gang. If the news spreads, Netscape's reputation on the Internet will probably be ruined.

"Song, I don't mean that. I'm just a suggestion. Netscape has always supported you, and Netscape will stand with you in the future." Turn your face, those means of implementing the bill will not be effective immediately.

   "I'll consider this offer!"

After finishing speaking, Song Yang hung up the phone directly. This is a clear statement with Netscape. Netscape is not righteous, so don't blame Song Yang for being ruthless. Anyway, when this matter is mentioned in the future, Song Yang will definitely Putting **** on Netscape, it was Jim Clark who did it first...
