Back to 1995

As soon as they saw it, the reporters at the press conference asked Song Yang all kinds of questions, whether they were optimistic about Apple's new computer, and whether they would sell Apple's stock.

There are also even more outrageous, oblique words about Song Yang, what do you think of Jobs, and whether he has the idea of ​​​​taking over Apple. This is obviously because the veterans of Apple are unwilling to be marginalized and want to counterattack. They can't deal with Jobs. I just want to pull Song Yang to make a move together.

After all, Song Yang's reputation is there. Although Jobs' qualifications are older, Song Yang has a record of no defeat since he became famous. He can prove Song Yang's ability in the Internet, mobile phones and other industries. The computer industry should be no problem...

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

Song Yang only responded to the provocative media, "I am optimistic about Apple and Steve. I believe that Apple will become the lucky fruit that was bitten by God. I will not sell Apple shares. As long as Steve Still in Apple for a day!"

Song Yang has no plans to enter the computer industry, at least not now. The computer industry seems to be booming now. It can support IBM, Dell, Compaq, HP, and other Asian computer brands, but the entire computer market is no longer possible. Playing with flowers again.

In addition, the most important point is that Microsoft is now in full swing, monopolizing the computer operating system, anyone who dares to touch this is equivalent to touching Microsoft's reverse scale, and will be mercilessly shot to death by Microsoft with various means.

If he only produces one computer, but does not develop his own system, and makes a wedding dress for Microsoft in vain, then Song Yang would rather not play this business.

In the past, if he wanted to occupy Apple when it was in trouble, then Song Yang didn't have to spend so much effort at all. He invested in Apple and bought Apple bonds. He just bought it and it was over. Billion dollars.

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

Hearing that Song Yang actually supported Jobs and would not compete with Jobs for the control of Apple and sell Apple's stock, those reporters lost their mind to repeat the rhetoric. If they can't make big news, why waste their efforts.

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

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

The group of 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 machine are not good this time, it is estimated that Jobs will be kicked out of Apple for the second time. The last time I left was even more embarrassing.

Song Yang is the largest individual shareholder of Apple with a 6% stake. Since Jobs returned to Apple for more than a year, Song Yang has always stood by Jobs, including the representatives sent to Apple, and has always voted for Jobs. support ticket.

At this time, if Song Yang is reversed, with Song Yang's current worth and influence, it is really enough for Jobs to drink a pot. There will definitely be a large number of Apple directors and executives who will switch to Song Yang's banner, even if Jobs' ability to control the field No matter how strong it is, it can maintain Apple's control, but Apple will inevitably have some turmoil!
Putting down the speech, Jobs, who was still wearing the black suit and jeans, couldn't help frowning when he remembered what he planned to talk to Song Yang today.

He invited Song Yang to come here today, not just to watch a product launch event and experience his "reality distortion" strength, but also to talk about another matter with Song Yang.

Song Yang entered the conference venue and found that there were quite a few acquaintances here today. As a veteran in the technology industry, no matter how the media commented on Jobs, his connections were definitely not bad.

"Kevin!"

Song Yang shook hands with the editor-in-chief of "Wired" magazine, the "trumpet player" of the Internet, and an old acquaintance, Kevin Kelly.

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

"Song, there are 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 the news of the Internet, 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 for the longest time. Up to now, Kevin still remembers the young man who stood outside the magazine office early in the morning, waiting to see him , Over the past few years, Kevin Kelly has been paying attention to Song Yang, and Song Yang has never let him down. He doesn't believe that Song Yang will just "give up" the Internet industry to him.

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

Hearing this, Kevin Kelly couldn't help laughing. Song Yang didn't seem to have said this, but the media guessed it in the face of Song Yang's continuous cashing out of Internet stocks and spending large sums of money on other industries. The more outrageous.

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

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

Seeing the nominal "spiritual mentor" Tristan approaching, Song Yang smiled helplessly, "Professor Tristan!"

Tristan came here specially to meet Song Yang today. He scolded someone because of Song Yang on the TV station, but he didn't spray him. Professor Tristan felt ashamed, so he came here to see him today. Song Yang.

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

Tristan was obviously a little confused, wondering if Song Yang was really fascinated by those days of extravagance and luxury, and really wanted to abandon the Internet.

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

The current Internet industry is completely different from a few years ago. At that time, those who mixed with the Internet were considered by many people to be bluffing and deceitful. Practitioners who entered the Internet were all busy to make a living, let alone become billionaires. , It would be nice to be full.

But now, the Internet is already a gold mine. Countless people have entered this industry to pan for gold, and countless billionaires have been born. Even Song Yang has been pushed to the position of the richest man in America. The enthusiasm of the Internet has almost reached the peak The cooking oil is in full bloom, and countless people want to squeeze in. It seems that if you enter the Internet industry, you can get billions of dollars at your fingertips!
"I think that the future world will still belong to the Internet, just like what was written in your book "Out of Control" Kevin, the future human beings may enter the era of the Internet of Things, and the Internet will be closely related to the entire 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 cannot be smooth sailing! "

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

Just like some disasters that are lightly mentioned in the history books, 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 books may be able to save the world. They were all shot to death by the monstrous waves!
