Chapter 1315

"He's starting to retire?"

"What

"I said he's retired!"

"How can it be!"

The helicopter's rotor is very noisy. Songya and Jim Clark need to roar face to face even if they are wearing earphones.

Song Ya came to Maine to see him. Unexpectedly, he met John Malone, a telecom tycoon, at the airport. He was warmly invited by the other party, so he had to go to the appointment and played a low-key hunting game with the other party.

They were all neighbors of the farmers, and John Malone later invited Jim Clark to join them.

"It's just that you don't have to do a high-intensity job like you did seven days ago!"

The passengers are just the two of them. Jim Clark, who has always been above the top in business, doesn't have much to do with John Malone. He yells in front of the two crew members employed by John Malone: "after the merger of TCI and ATT, he can make a big difference in the board of directors, just like Disney's Eisner. The rest of his career depends on how he puts money into his own pocket! Do you understand? "

"OK, I see."

At the beginning, John Malone was just a senior manager of TCI company. He expanded TCI, a small cable TV company, into today's Telecom Empire and integrated all the small and medium-sized cable stations in the whole meter. At the peak, he completed an acquisition every seven days on average. He was known as Genghis Khan of cable TV industry.

The godfather invented the 500 station plan, which enabled the cable TV network to beat the satellite TV in content, and promoted the subscriber level from one million to ten million. He also rescued CNN boss Ted Turner when his business was in crisis. Turner, who was grateful, even openly said that he was "willing to pay his own life for him." He and many big men in the television industry have a sense of gratitude.

He also foresaw the trend of convergence of cable TV, telecom and Internet, with 49% of the exploration channels, 18% of the general instruments, and so on

He also owns about eight percent of News Corp., forcing Murdoch to bring in funds from the Middle East against his hostile bid.

After the merger of TCI and att this year, SBC communications, a new company, will almost certainly be included in the Dow Jones 30 industrial stock indexes and the top 15 of the world's top 500 by the end of the year. He can control the board of directors and is a truly prominent player.

"What did he say when he took you hunting?" Jim Clark asked, "have you dealt with each other before?"

"No, for the first time."

As the helicopter flies higher and higher, the noise becomes less and less after entering the cruise state. Song Ya looks down to the ground. In the boundless forest, John Malone's lonely manor villa stands on a beautiful lake. The running hounds, horses, logistics teams and helicopters on the apron gradually become smaller and smaller.

I don't know how many people are serving his hunting hobby. It's estimated that this kind of enjoyment is no longer inferior to that of the British royal family, or even more.

But still, John Malone, after all, is a senior manager. He is not necessarily richer than himself. Like a hamster, he moved from TCI and other companies to his home to buy shares and play the capital game. In the end, the godfather of Telecom missed the great opportunity of the Internet tide and the rapid doubling of wealth.

"You know, he fought with Deputy Gore for many years." Songya replied, "when we were hunting, we were mainly talking about Gore's campaign."

"So stay away from him!"

Jim Clark, as a silicon valley tycoon and a typical internet tycoon, naturally belongs to the gore camp just like himself. Of course, in Maine, everyone is a "good neighbor", and the basic face and etiquette of communicating with each other must be good.

"Don't worry!"

In fact, John Malone also took the time to ask about the rumors that he had bet with little brown man. Sonya didn't know whether he had ulterior motives or asked casually. After all, he and Barry Diller, who stayed with little brown man every day, were close friends

So we can only deal with the past, we don't talk about business in the first time.

This kind of person is a little too young to see through, and doesn't want to guess.

"Look at her! How beautiful

John Malone's helicopter takes them to Jim Clark's "territory". Jim doesn't like hunting and likes the sea. Naturally, his farm and holiday villa are also on the beach. When the Netscape is at its peak, the world's number one white super sail yacht stops quietly at the dock like a pure girl.

He pointed to the yacht and yelled like a lover.

"Wow Indeed

These rich people will really enjoy it, song Ya sincerely sighed and praised.

Jim Clark laughed.

"Mark, long time no see. This is... "

The helicopter landed on the apron here. Some friends gathered around him and they ran over. Song Ya saw a blonde woman beside Mark Anderson. She was less than 30 years old. She was in the middle and upper class. She was rich or expensive."Introduce, Laura, Laura arilaga, aplus, no one does not know, ha ha."

Mark Anderson happy introduction, should be his girlfriend, "arilaga? Then Mr. John arilaga is... " Song Ya remembers that this is the last name of the biggest landlord in Silicon Valley he has dealt with before.

"He's my father."

"Ha, I said, it's a pleasure to meet you, Laura..." Mr. Sonya gave a hand kiss.

Mark Anderson is OK. He got the landlord's daughter It's Silicon Valley that's getting more expensive, not Maine, where agricultural land is worthless.

“Hi！”

The wheat colored Rashida Jones, holding the CEO of 3dfx company, mclauren, also came from his farm, resolutely abandoned the old man, trotted to the front and said hello.

"Introduce Rashida, daughter of Quincy Jones."

Sonya pinched her fox chin and hugged her generously. "This is Sir mclauren, and Mr. yassa, chief technology officer of 3dfx..."

"Hello, hello..."

There are a lot of friends from several sides, most of them are top technology millionaires or celebrities, and most of them have female partners.

Hatred can't be used as a meal, nor can it be completely occupied by revenge plans. After exchanging names and deep trust with Underwood, David Geffen and others, and sniping off the Middle East option of the Bronfman family, the next step is to wait according to the other party's operational intelligence. It's too urgent.

Xu Rulin, who keeps away from arrogance and impatience, mainly focuses on better business management and communication with his friends. Now Song Ya has completely given up his unrealistic and dramatic way of revenge.

Just like hunting, driving the prey to the target place may be more important than the accuracy of shooting. It's a delicate and patient work.

So when he came to Maine, Mark Anderson took over some shares of the trio and was one of the shareholders of 3dfx. Moreover, he had a unique insight into the 3D display chip industry and wanted to deepen his feelings.

"OK, everyone, come and meet our captain."

After going to sea, the lives of a group of Billionaires will be handed over to the captain. The master Jim Clark slapped his hands and introduced a middle-aged white uniform with a thick beard. He really has the style of Captain and is trustworthy at first sight.

Jim Clark gallantly led the people aboard his favorite Hyperion. The buffet was set up on the deck. The rich people were laughing and socializing with their champagne glasses. Their attendants were shuttling between the luxury cars on the quayside and the cabin of the ship with their luggage. The crew were also busy preparing for the sea.

"Yes, I'm still studying at Harvard..."

Rashida was so happy that she was brought to such a high-end party just after the holiday, and she could still be a female companion. She and the landlord's daughter met at first sight and said, "Wow, Stanford Business School Have you graduated yet? "

Although Jim Clark merged into AOL with Netscape, Steve case, chairman and CEO of AOL, who is now in the limelight and has the sole power, will not give him the opportunity to give him any advice. At present, apart from holding the AOL shares in exchange, he is a bit aloof from AOL.

So he was still the third man. After a few words, he began to scold Microsoft and make jokes to ridicule Microsoft president Ballmer. He vowed not to break up Microsoft and not to give up. He did not hide his hatred.

It's true. How much is the market value of Yahoo's portal website alone? The market share of Netscape browser in that year could be as high as 80% or 90%. If it can keep up to today He's going to be a 10 billion dollar man.

"I'm sorry, mark. The fall in share price is only temporary."

After finding friends and paying for all the shares of 3dfx defection trio and former president Ballard, song Ya's shareholding ratio in 3dfx rose slightly. However, the departure of the three founders and technical backbones still caused doubts in the market. In addition, some technical indicators were overtaken by the followers, and the stock price fell a lot.

Sonya and mclauren concentrate on talking to Mark Anderson.

"I understand." Mark Anderson got his own compensation for some circuitous means, basically no loss, "now our competitors are..."

"NV has the most direct competition with us. They have some important patents for 3D chips. ATI's shipment volume is still larger than ours, and its 2D performance is better. In the field of professional graphics, especially 2D graphics, there is Matrox maichuang. S3 is the cheapest product, and basically there are only a few."

Mclauren replied.

"Now NV's market value is only a quarter of ours, isn't it?" Asked Mark Anderson.

"Between a quarter and a third, his family has been rising."

"Because our voodoo is surpassed by his tnt2 in some technical indicators for the first time?"

"Yes, voodoo4. We will come back when voodoo5 is released."

"How about M & A?"

"Their boss, Huang Xun, won't I'm going to fight a patent war, slow down their development and buy time for the voodoo 5. "The three chatted, and the captain's voice came from the loudspeaker, mainly to warn some safety precautions, "HOHO..." The yacht is driven by fuel and cheers from the ocean.

"Everything can be controlled by computer."

As an internet tycoon, Jim Clark's ship has gathered a lot of cutting-edge technologies. He spent a lot of money on it and happily led people into the cabin to visit and show off, "look!"

Under the guidance of the captain, he operated on the computer. The huge mast turned, and the white sails slowly unfolded in turn, blowing up in the wind.
