Reborn IT Giant
Chapter 389 Investing in Netscape Part 1
When he woke up, not only was his tired spirit relieved, but Zheng Yan also remembered something. It was nothing else, but about Jim Clark who gave him his business card in the casino.
Jim Clark, one of the founders of the prosperous Netscape, is also a legend in his own right. He spent fifteen years creating three companies with a market value of more than one billion US dollars. Now Netscape is about to start
It's the second company.
Netscape once created an Internet myth. Although this myth did not exist for a long time, it helped define the "Internet Era". For Zheng Yan, as long as it is done properly, he will get hundreds of millions of dollars in return.
.
According to the observation of the Wall Street Journal, it took General Dynamics 43 years to reach a market value of US$2.7 billion, while Netscape took "about 1 minute." And this is not the limit of Netscape. According to Zheng Yan's memory
, Netscape's peak market value was around $5 billion.
The Netscape browser developed by Netscape once posed a threat to Microsoft. Many people believed that Netscape would replace Microsoft's dominance. Unfortunately, it eventually became a stepping stone on Microsoft's development path.
However, these have nothing to do with Zheng Yan. Zheng Yan only thinks about one thing now, which is to invest in Netscape, which is in the development stage. In addition, he must also make preparations for the collapse of the Netscape myth in a few years.
"Hey everyone, although I don't want to disturb you, I think we should go back."
There is obviously a huge piece of pie in Aocheng, and it has been put on his lips. If he does not seize the opportunity, Zheng Yan feels that he will be unworthy of God's favor.
"Oh, Zheng Yan, you are such a disappointment every time. If I had known this, I might as well have let you stay in the hotel to sleep."
Although Larry Ellison and others were somewhat dissatisfied, they still followed Zheng Yan's suggestion and returned directly to Aocheng. After getting off the ship, Zheng Yan drove away Larry Ellison, Liu Wei and Zheng Rong on the pretext of discussing cooperation.
Only Bill Miller remains.
If it is reasonable to say that Zheng Yan is eager to return from the sea, then his behavior at this moment is a bit strange. Fortunately, Zheng Yan has many strange behaviors, Larry Ellison
Others have become accustomed to it, that is, they don't care.
"Zheng Yan, you don't need me by your side when you go to meet your guests, right?"
Bill Miller has no friends in either Hong Kong City or Olympic City, so the one who is most curious about Zheng Yan's arrangements is Bill Miller.
"Remember the man who gave me his business card at the casino yesterday? I'm going to meet him. I have a strong intuition that there will be unexpected surprises in this meeting." Zheng Yan said pretending to be mysterious.
Although Zheng Yan did not have the habit of carrying a mobile phone, Bill Miller, as the actual controller of Yanhuang Investment, always carried his mobile phone with him. After a phone call, Zheng Yan and Bill Miller went directly to Jim Clark's room.
"Mr. Clark, I hope we didn't disturb you."
Compared with yesterday, the smile on Zheng Yan's face now is much more sincere. Yesterday was just out of politeness, but now Zheng Yan has regarded Jim Clark as his big benefactor.
"Of course not. I feel very honored that Mr. Zheng and Mr. Miller can come in person."
Jim Clark was a little excited. The reason why he gave Zheng Yan his business card yesterday was just a fluke. He didn't expect Zheng Yan to come to see him, and he didn't expect Zheng Yan to come to meet him so soon.
"Is Mr. Clark here for vacation this time?"
Although Zheng Yan was very interested in Netscape, Zheng Yan knew better that he could not bring up this kind of thing on his own initiative. Only by Jim Clark taking the initiative could he maximize his interests.
"This was indeed the case before last night, but now that I have met you, Mr. Zheng, there may be some changes. To be honest, if Larry Ellison and Mr. Miller hadn't been there yesterday, I'm afraid I would have
I missed the opportunity to get to know Mr. Zheng.”
"You should know that in the eyes of us Westerners, many Eastern faces are similar. And Mr. Zheng, you are relatively low-key. Except for some sporadic reports about you a few years ago, there has been no news about you at all in the past two years.
"
After the initial investment in oil futures ended, Zheng Yan became the investor with the most investment vision on Wall Street. However, as Zheng Yan disappeared, he
He has an additional title, the most mysterious investor.
"I'm not keeping a low profile, I just don't want to be disturbed. In the past few years, I have been spending time with my family, but I think maybe it won't be long before I will reappear in people's sight."
"The entire Wall Street knows that I am very interested in Internet investment. In the past few years, many new Internet companies have emerged in the United States. I am afraid that if I don't appear, I will not be able to keep up with the development of the Internet.
." Zheng Yan said with a smile.
Zheng Yan seemed to be chatting and talking about a well-known fact, but in fact he was intentionally guiding Jim Clark. And Zheng Yan's actions were exactly what Jim Clark wanted.
"Mr. Zheng was joking. Everyone knows that you are one of the shareholders of Cisco. Although it has only been a few years, Cisco has become one of the giants in Silicon Valley. In addition, you were resolute when Oracle was at its lowest point.
When it came to investing in the stock, there were also many people who were not optimistic about it at the beginning, but a year later, those people were also severely slapped in the face."
"This is only what everyone knows. Based on this, no one will doubt your vision in this area. And I believe that Mr. Zheng must have other investments that are unknown to the outside world. At least as far as I am concerned, for Zheng
I admire you very much for your vision in this regard, which is why I want to meet you."
Hearing this, Zheng Yan also became a little excited. He knew that he would talk about what he cared about next, but Zheng Yan kept these in his heart and did not show them.
Jim Clark was not clear about Zheng Yan's thoughts, but continued: "I just co-founded a new company, which is mainly based on a browser, and I can be sure that this is definitely the most advanced browser at present.
software."
"To tell you the truth, I have already contacted Doerr from KPCB Venture Capital in the United States. Doerr and Joyce are very optimistic about the company's development prospects. However, other partners do not seem to agree, so they have not received financing yet."
"I know Mr. Zheng that you are very interested in Internet companies, so I want to see if you have any plans to invest." Jim Clark finished explaining his purpose in one breath and then stopped.
