Chapter 761 The Technical Prototype of the New School Intranet
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao lay down again and continued, "We don't know if Howard and Berkshire were fooled. But it's true that Howard bought a lot of AOL stocks this time."
"...Otherwise, we wouldn't have gained so much in such a short period of time."
In fact, with such a huge sum of money, I only made ten points of profit after going out for a round trip, which doesn't sound like much.
Besides, Wu Tao's purpose is not to make such a little profit, but to get Howard deeply involved.
Only in this way can it help stimulate the other party to show greater determination.
This principle is the same as gambling.
So he asked leisurely: "Do you think, if we and Molly suddenly withdraw from the two bankers, can Howard and his capital be trapped?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was not optimistic and said: "The rise of AOL stock this time is not only the result of our promotion, but also related to the benefits of AOL's acquisition of Netscape."
"...So affected by this, even if our dealer suddenly withdraws, such a positive effect may still exist, so the result is hard to say."
Makes sense.
It seems that this matter is not so easy.
It is also because of this, presumably Molly should not be pulling out of the bottom at this time, and tripping up Apocalypse's investment.
So Wu Tao relaxed, "Then act according to the plan and increase the contact with Netscape, at least to the extent that America Online (AOL) has attracted attention."
Meanwhile, Berkshire's Los Angeles branch.
Howard flirted with the female secretary complacently. The repeated actions in the past few days have mobilized more than one billion US dollars, which is really rewarding.
AOL's stock did go up, and it's doing great!
Although there are traces of dealer pumping, Howard doesn't care. He is optimistic about AOL's expectations and future.
As for speculating in stocks to become a shareholder, Howard has not yet thought about it.
At least this matter can't be justified by the company's senior management, and he won't go against the company's tendency so blatantly.
But seeing Apocalypse Investment headed by Wu Tao frequently flirt with Netscape, he felt really itchy.
No matter what, you can't let the cheapness be picked up by that Huaxia kid for nothing...
After chatting with Qin Xiaoxiao, Wu Tao went into the study and started his routine online activities before going to bed.
Tonight was no different from the past, except that when I finally opened the mailbox, I received a small surprise.
Bill Babbitt wrote back and gave him a link address, saying it was the demo address of Xiaonei.
For the email with a few words, Wu Tao looked left and right to make sure it was not a virus or Trojan horse email, so he boldly clicked on the link.
Soon, the webpage was refreshed, and Wu Tao's eyebrows lit up: it's interesting!
The specific details of this demo have not been perfected, but the main frame can already be seen. It is in line with the demand framework listed by Wu Tao, and the shadow of Xiaoneiwang can be vaguely seen in later generations.
Wu Tao briefly manipulated it, and tried to write a diary with both pictures and texts, only to find that it was still a little inconvenient to edit.
That's the case, the function of the entire log space is generally available, and the integrated friend list function forms the basis for web page subscription updates.
Well done.
It's pretty good to be able to reach this level in a few days. At least this demo has met Wu Tao's requirements, and Bill and his team have passed the test.
After returning a concise email to the other party, Wu Tao continued to make this demo as his first personal homepage.
After tossing and tossing until midnight, I recorded all the inconveniences one by one, and then sent the address of my personal homepage to An Rong through the BBS internal letter.
Early the next morning, Wu Tao received a call from Bill Babbitt, confirming the specific time and place of meeting today.
It can be said that it was the last meeting before the interview.
Whether it is successful or not, it is here.
So Bill Babbitt dressed very formally, and having the final interview in a high-end place like a Michelin three-star restaurant made him feel a special respected attitude.
Wu Tao went there with great sincerity, ready to recruit the other party under his command in one fell swoop.
Not wanting to meet, Bill began to talk endlessly about the demo sent yesterday, even unwilling to let go of some details. So much so that Wu Tao wanted to announce his attitude to him, but he didn't find a chance to intervene.
But since it's about the prototype of Xiaonei, Wu Tao can still talk about it.
Hearing what Wu Tao said clearly and logically, Bill knew that the boss of Huaxia was really smart and knew a lot.
The two sides chatted so enthusiastically that they even forgot the time.
It wasn't until the last dessert was served twice that Wu Tao had time to bring up the main topic this time.
"Stretch out your hand across the dining table, Bill Babbitt, welcome to join our Xiaonei network! You are the Chief Technology Officer CTO!"
Bill was momentarily dizzy.
He has been worried that his skills will not be recognized by the other party until now, so he has made a lot of preparations.
So much so that when we talk about technology, we almost ignore the serious things.
Now that I suddenly passed the interview and was entrusted with such an important task, the excitement is beyond words.
"Mr. Wu, don't worry, I will definitely bring you the most elite development team from Netscape!"
"The sooner the better!" Wu Tao shook the other party's hand heavily, making no secret of his earnestness.
Two days later, the autumn in Irvine has become a bit cooler.
At least lying on the beach chair in the backyard, you need to be wrapped in a thin blanket so that you don't fall asleep and catch a cold.
Molly, who had been busy for several days in a row, appeared in the backyard again, sunbathing with her back bare.
While sunbathing, she held up a bottle of sunscreen and yelled at Wu Tao to apply sunscreen for her.
Wu Tao, who was lying on the chair next to her, had no time to pay attention to her. He was holding a newspaper and reading it intently.
"Haha, AOL's stock has really started to plummet!"
"How could this be?" Molly turned over, without even bothering to cover up the spring on her chest, and said, "No, according to the normal trend, the benefits are far from exhausted, so it won't turn into a downturn so soon. Interval!"
Wu Tao chuckled and threw the financial section of the newspaper over without saying a word.
Molly took it over and took a look, "These few articles that bad-mouth AOL are related to you?"
Wu Tao spread his hands, "I just provide some information to reporters who want to collect materials, and the rest are their own play. But in this way, I am really worried that Howard will stop the loss and cut his flesh, and quit the game early. "
Unexpectedly, Molly shook her head firmly and said: "No, he is so smart and conceited, and he will not admit defeat so easily. And I think that not only will he not give up easily, but he will increase his bargaining chips."
"... Anyway, things are getting more and more interesting..."
