Reborn IT Giant

"Jerry, are you sure you want to meet the boss of Yanhuang Investment? You should know that the negotiations with Sequoia Capital are almost over, and this is really not the time to make extraneous matters."

"Have you ever thought about it, if the conditions offered by Yanhuang Investment are not as good as Sequoia Capital, and Sequoia Capital withdraws the financing from us because we approached Yanhuang Investment, we will be in a dilemma. Let me say, continue to work with Yanhuang Capital

Sequoia Capital’s negotiation is the safest way.”

After receiving Jerry's notice, Jerry Yang seemed very excited, but David Filo was worried.

"David, you heard Jerry's call just now. The person we are negotiating with this time is Zheng Yan, the boss of Yanhuang Investment. We often hear about Bill Miller, but except for a few reports a few years ago, have you heard

Have you heard anything about Zheng Yan?”

"Since Zheng Yan came here in person, it shows that Yanhuang Investment attaches great importance to our company. Zheng Yan is very interested in the Internet industry. Many people know this. This is why I approached Yanhuang Investment. Believe me, we will definitely meet during the weekend."

You won’t be disappointed.”

"Okay, since you insist, let's meet."

Although David Filo was full of worries, Yang Zhiyuan had no choice but to compromise.

…

"Zheng Yan, Liu Wei, why did you two come early? Didn't you say there are still a few days until arrival?"

After Larry Ellison received Zheng Yan's call, he quickly drove an extremely stylish sports car to the hotel where Zheng Yan was staying.

"Nothing, it just so happens that Yanhuang Investment Company has some things that I need to handle, so I came here in advance."

As for the reason for coming early, Zheng Yan mentioned it briefly and did not mention anything about Yahoo. Zheng Yan believed that with Larry Ellison's acumen for the Internet industry and his own emphasis, as long as Larry mentioned it,

Ellison inevitably wants a piece of the action.

"Okay Larry, it's rare for us to come to San Francisco. How are you going to entertain us?"

Liu Wei didn't know what Zheng Yan was planning, and he didn't care. All he could think about was how to spend the next few days happily.

"Yeah, Larry, you always used to think

I have no intention of entertaining guests. I’ll give you a chance this time, so don’t let me down. By the way, please call me Steve again, I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

Originally, Zheng Yan and Jobs had established a good friendship because of Larry Ellison, but because Zheng Yan stayed in Hong Kong City for two years, the relationship between the two became weaker. Zheng Yan came here this time to show off.

Letting Jobs go was also one of his plans.

According to Larry Ellison's character, after hearing Zheng Yan's words, the normal reaction should be to belittle Zheng Yan and then take them out to have fun, but this time he remained surprisingly silent, which made

Zheng Yan had this accident.

"What's wrong Larry, did something happen?"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's okay for me to take you out for fun. It's just that Steve...the situation in his company is not very good, so I'm afraid he's not in the mood to go out and play."

Larry Ellison's answer surprised Zheng Yan. Normally, although the computer company's profits were average, it would not put Jobs in a bad mood to even see his friends.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Steve's company? Do you need help?"

The time for Steve Jobs to return to Apple is getting closer and closer, and Zheng Yan is worried about how to deepen the relationship. It would be best if she could give him some help.

"It's strange to say that Steve's abilities are supposed to be impeccable, but since he left Apple, his development over the years has not been smooth."

"You have been staying in Hong Kong City for the past few years, so you don't know much about his situation. The sales volume of the computers produced by their company has not been very good. It cannot even be described as bad. It is simply terrible. Basically, one

He just lost one unit, so more than a year ago, he completely stopped this aspect of the business."

"Originally, this was nothing. What Steve was good at was the development of system programs, so since the hardware production stopped, he put all his energy on this, and the results were achieved, but the sales of system programs were not as good.

smoothly."

"Steve developed a web programming framework for generating dynamic web pages - WebObjects, which

I have seen the program, and it is indeed very good. However, because the program is too complicated, the price is naturally higher. Maybe it is because of the price that there are very few buyers."

"Originally, their company also had an operating system called EP. Unfortunately, this system could only run on computers produced by their company. Although Steve tried to make changes to adapt the system to any computer, they all ended in failure. Now,

It has become a decoration."

"These things are already annoying enough, but what's even more annoying is that Steve's last partner also withdrew his shares from the company and left him not long ago. It's strange, you say, in the process of Steve starting a business

, it seems that betrayal has always followed him, like a nightmare that he can't get rid of no matter what."

Larry Ellison is indeed Jobs' best friend. Even though he knew that their company's products had problems, he still kept fighting for him.

Zheng Yan also had to admit that Jobs's life was indeed full of ups and downs. He was very proud when he was young, and was kicked out of Apple shortly after he was very proud. He rose again in middle age, but was struck down by illness again. He was really jealous of his talents.

But Zheng Yan also noticed another piece of information, which was the EP operating system mentioned by Larry Ellison. Zheng Yan knew that this system had become the cornerstone of Apple's re-emergence, which gave Zheng Yan other ideas.

.

"Okay Larry, don't complain here. I don't know, you thought what happened just now was just about you. Believe me, Steve will return to Apple one day. The current frustration is only temporary.

."

It's okay that Zheng Yan didn't say this. When he mentioned this, Larry Ellison became even more angry, "Thank you for having the nerve to say that Steve talked to me about this some time ago and joked that he wished your prediction was true.

Yes, but it’s more of a wry smile than a joke.”

Zheng Yan didn't expect that because of his words, Larry Ellison would point the finger at him, "Okay, this thing is my fault. If you ask me, please contact Steve quickly, maybe

He also wants to come out and relax."

Larry Ellison did not refuse this time, mainly because he knew that Zheng Yan had many ideas and might be able to solve Jobs' problem.
