Chapter 1037 The richest man in Tang appeared in court to testify Mengmeng
...
I have to say that the phenomenon that the richest man’s complaint on his blog made the name of the Sun Microsystem’s programming language Java fall into disgust, which to some extent reflects how powerful the self-media has when the public star effect and the Internet are combined.
Of course, the infuriating Sun Microsystem would not think that Tang Huan was just a mistake and insisted that this was a direct slander with sinister intentions.
As for the basis, it is naturally derived from the secret losses suffered in the previous period.
You should know that when they united to resist the "noise" alliance of Zheru Software Company, and when they were most powerful, Sun Microsystem agreed to sell Java's authorization to Zheru Software Company in order to quickly expand the scope of use of this new Internet language.
As a result, Netscape Company first broke up the "jealous jar" and canceled the plan to use Java to develop a brand new browser; instead, the Sun Microsystem, which is not concerned, directly made its own browser program hotjava, which is a demonstration of this programming language, perfected it and no longer relied on Netscape.
This phenomenon of turning against each other when changing interests reflects how loose the so-called "noise" alliance is. Then when there is a big problem with the foundation of orale, that is, the database product, and there is no time to take care of it, it basically collapses.
The best annotation of this ending is that Netscape was acquired by orale like a rag.
A fellow Taoist who dies will not die.
The Sun Micro System will not be sad about the flash in the pan of Netscape Company. This is the rules of the game in the mall.
However, at this year's Zheru Spring Developer Conference, Zheru Software Company took out its own version of the Java virtual machine and corresponding programming tools, Sun Microsystem suddenly realized that it might have been fooled.
First of all, Zheru Software's version of Java, whether it is enhanced or improved, has changed a bit, and the implementation is excellent, so it has to compare the original creator of Sun Microsystem.
Secondly, in terms of programming and development, Zheru Software Company has launched three development environments: enterprise platform, standard platform and mobile platform in order to adapt to the changes brought about by the Internet. And its own new generation of Internet programming language # has naturally become the protagonist.
At the same time, the "optimized" java actually integrates into the system of Zheru Software Company and becomes the "little brother" of #.
After thinking about how the Sun Microsystem could tolerate his child's "change surname", he became angry and sued Zheru Software Company in the District Court of San Jose, Silicon Valley on the grounds of violating the original authorization agreement. At present, it can be said that it is a case of monopoly against Zheru Software Company in the United States of America, which is a small and a big place.
Just when this dispute is hard to tell, it is equivalent to the fact that the richest man, who was originally a "big" Internet several years later, suddenly criticized the name Java in disguise and triggered a petition to change the name, which is like adding fuel to the fire.
The anxious Sun Microsystem simply regarded this incident as an opportunity to discover "new evidence of guilt" and sued Tang Huan to the court in San Jose.
Originally, the richest man who returned to the United States was just having a meeting with his own personal lawyer and the company's legal consultant to talk about how to disband the lawsuit.
As a result, David Boyce, chief lawyer of the Zheru Software Company's lawyer group, who was responsible for responding to the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company, took the initiative to ask for participation.
At the meeting, David Boyce suggested extremely seriously: "Don, although this controversial incident will not have any actual impact on you, it also shows a problem. That is, your words and deeds are the focus, especially in the current critical stage of the subtle situation."
"So, when you speak in public, including blogging on the Internet, you must be cautious and even ask for advice from professionals, including public relations consultants."
Tang Huan did not feel free to be hindered by the constraints planned by David Boyce like most other high-ranking people.
He asked with understanding: "What do you mean is that my inappropriate words may be collected as a court certificate by those who are interested and taken to court to support the conviction?"
"Tang is the most pleasant client in my lawyer career!" David Boyce nodded happily. "The dispute between Zheru Software and Sun Microsystems in the San Jose District Court is not worth mentioning compared to Zheru Software and the U.S. Department of Justice, and 20 federal states in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia."
"In a few days, senior staff of Zheru Software, including you, will appear in court to testify at the request of the District of Columbia Federal Circuit Court of Appeals."
"At that time, every word you say may be resolved by lawyers from the Ministry of Justice to launch an attack."
"It turns out that David came here to give me some advice on how to speak in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia," the richest man asked humbly, "So, what principle should I use?"
"It's simple to say." A sly light flashed in David Boyce's eyes. "When answering questions from the other party's lawyer, try to remain vague like "not clear" and "forgot"; even if they force you to choose between "yes" or "no", don't follow the other party's rules of the game."
Tang Huan laughed in silence, "If I pretend to be so confused, can the prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice and the judge who is responsible for hearing the case agree?"
"This is your power!" David Boyce explained with great confidence: "No matter what, you do this, it is never more powerful than falling into a language trap that the other party has carefully designed for how long it takes to be countless times!"
"Okay." The richest man nodded in a good manner, "At that time, I will try to be vague in court so as not to make a real difference. As for the debate, let me leave it to professionals like you to deal with it."
...
When Tang Huan personally dealt with the verbal battle of the Sun Microsystem, it was nothing.
After all, in the United States, there is no power to speak freely. The richest man himself was uttered with a gun and a stick, and there were countless others.
The irony is that as it is regarded as entertainment news, the hype is getting more and more powerful, and Java's reputation is really implicated.
According to a hot survey conducted by Yahoo on the homepage of the website, nearly 40% of visitors voted for "change early and get better soon", and more than one-third of visitors voted for "against the same thing", and the rest is "it's up to me~that's the matter".
If the voting gap between the first two is very close and does not explain any problem, then the next voting "what name should be changed" is intriguing.
Someone who is interested in Java has already thought of several new names, and Yahoo has selected four of the most popular ones, namely #language, language, language, and +language, and listed them for visitors to choose.
As it turns out, evil tastes will also occur in groups, and #get votes are high, and Java has become more and more impressed by others.
After Sun Microsystem lowered its self-esteem, it carefully studied these "public opinion" and suddenly realized: It seems that the name # seems to be really good. It not only can it take advantage of the popularity of Zheru Software Company #, but it can also disgust the other party seriously.
So, Sun Microsystem quietly started the registration application process, and as a result, it bumped head-on with Zheru Software Company, which had the same purpose, and a verbal fight broke out again, and the fun became increasingly louder and louder.
During his July 10 testimony, the prosecutor in charge of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company's monopoly case, Joel Klein first started with the hot topic of "java name change".
...
"Tang, how much wealth has you reached now?"
Before the richest man could answer, David Boyce, chief lawyer of Zheru Software Company's lawyer group, protested in a tit-for-tat way: "Oppose this kind of question that has nothing to do with the case and involves personal privacy!"
Joel Klein quickly clarified to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Thomas Penfield Jackson, "I promise that my question is necessary!"
Thomas Penfield Jackson, who had long been secretly in his heart, reminded him with a blank expression, "Be careful, don't waste the precious time in the court."
Joel Klein leaned slightly behind him, turned around and stared at Tang Huan with a bright look.
The richest man is no longer enough to describe his relationship with people as "there are great scholars in talking and laughing, but no white men in contact with each other". How could a small prosecutor suppress his aura?
Tang Huan immediately replied indifferently: "I am more interested in charity now and I am no longer paying attention to such numbers as I was when I was young. However, you should be able to find the so-called answer from the Forbes Global Rich List released in March this year."
Speaking of this, the richest man shrugged, "If you can't find this magazine, then I can ask my secretary to provide assistance. She has always been dedicated to sorting out the information."
There was an uncontrollable low laughter from the dense audience seats.
Joel Klein, who was implicitly "young and shallow", blushed, and did not take care of Tang Huan's words, but said at his own pace: "Tang's net worth on the rich list exceeded 250 billion US dollars; and in 1997, that is, last year, the United States ranked first in the world was more than 860 billion US dollars, which was equivalent to three percent; furthermore, Java, which Tang hated recently, ranked 21 in the same period, about 260 billion US dollars, and Tang was on par with it."
"Tang's personal achievements are extremely dazzling and attracting attention from the world, which in turn gives him the appeal of a star and the influence of a leader."
"Not long ago, Tang said that he just complained casually on his personal blog, which made the Internet language Java, created by Sun Micro Systems, fall into a storm of boycott and name change. This reminds people of the fact that Zheru Software Company is also monopolized in the entire software industry."
"An inappropriate metaphor against this confusing concept, and the use of many adjectives with obvious, tendency and incitement." David Boyce stood up and said loudly: "The other lawyer is judging witnesses based on his own likes and dislikes."
Joel Klein explained with confidence: "Tang's influence and the dominance of Zheru Software Company are two aspects of the same thing. If people do not have a clear impression of Zheru Software Company's monopoly, then it can be seen at a glance through the data list and horizontal analogies just now."
David Boyce ignored Joel Klein, who was flying in the air and faced with Thomas Panfield Jackson. "The lawyers on the other side are citing data with ulterior motives and misleading the public image of witnesses in a confusing manner to influence people's tendency to the United States of America for the monopoly of Zheru Software. If he continues to do so, I will consider prosecuting him for defamation."
Thomas Panfield Jackson looked at Joel Klein and said lightly: "Please hurry up and ask the witness questions."
"Yes." Joel Klein agreed, no longer entangled in the metaphor just now, picked up a piece of the file and said loudly: "I have a 'Blooming' plan for Zheru Software Company on browser promotion, which includes providing third-party partners with polestar's kernel and application program interface. Just match a 'skin' with a different interface, a browser based on Zheru Software Company's technical architecture can be quickly generated, and then a competitor Netscape Company is chasing and blocking."
"Witness, are you aware of this 'Blooming Flowers' Plan?"
The richest man replied calmly: "I don't know what you said."
Joel Klein said aggressively: "Witness, you just need to answer clearly, 'yes' or 'no'!"
"I don't know how to answer 'yes' or 'no'?" Tang Huan said earnestly: "It's like when we use a computer financial computerization system, accounting voucher review is not just 'yes' or 'no', because some companies do not set up this business link, and the corresponding fields in the database may also be 'null' in addition to '1' or '0'."
Joel Klein, who was suddenly "popularized" by the richest man, was a little dizzy with a blue vein on his forehead, asked with an exposed vein: "You occupy the position of 'software architect' on the list of polestar developers. Would you not know this 'flower bloom' plan?"
Tang Huan seemed to be startled and replied with some "repulsiveness": "Of course I don't know what's too specific!"
Joel Klein raised his tone and said: "I am not talking about the issue of 'specific implementation', but refers to the 'Blooming Flowers' plan that has been laid in the development of polestar, which has sufficiently supported the underlying architecture!"
"Oppose!" David Boyce stood up righteously, "After the opponent's lawyer misled the witness before, he now threatened the witness again!"
Chapter completed!
