Reborn IT Giant

Three days after the interview with Zheng Yan was aired, Zheng Yan received two invitations to meet at the same time. One was Jim Clark from Netscape, and the other was Bill Gates from Microsoft. This made Zheng Yan entangled.

Zheng Yan had already been mentally prepared to meet Jim Clark. Even if Jim Clark didn't come, Zheng Yan was ready to meet him. As for Bill Gates, Zheng Yan had been planning it since last year, but he didn't expect that he would find him on his own.

Come to your door.

"Zheng Yan, do you want to make up your mind whether you want to see them or not? Who should you meet first? Being indecisive is not your style."

Since Zheng Yan has always deliberately kept a low profile, in the eyes of the outside world, Bill Miller is equivalent to Zheng Yan's butler. Because of this, most people will contact Zheng Yan through Bill Miller, and this time is no exception.

"Let's go Bill, let's go to Yanhuang Investment. By the way, let me inform Jim Clark. I will meet him at the Yanhuang Investment headquarters."

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Yan made his decision. Although the development progress of Microsoft's browser was hindered because of some preparations he had made in advance, Zheng Yan believed that as long as Microsoft came back to its senses, this obstacle would not be a problem at all.

As for Netscape, Zheng Yan regarded him as an abandoned son from the beginning, but after all, Jim Clark provided him with a good opportunity, and Zheng Yan did not want to do anything too ugly. Before giving up Netscape, Zheng Yan was prepared to give him another opportunity.

Jim Clark A chance to choose.

Jim Clark was obviously more anxious than Zheng Yan. When Zheng Yan and Bill Miller rushed to Yanhuang Investment Headquarters, Jim Clark had been waiting there, but his face was not very good-looking, and next to Jim Clark, there was another person with an even more ugly face.

Mark Anderson.

When Zheng Yan saw Marc Andreessen, he knew that he and Netscape were already at odds with each other, so he didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and took the two of them directly to Bill Miller's office.

"Jim, tell me why you're here." After sitting down, Zheng Yan said directly to Jim Clark. As for Marc Anderson, Zheng Yan ignored him.

"Zheng Yan, I'm very curious. You are also a shareholder of Netscape and own 25% of the company's shares. It is said that your interests are also tied to Netscape.

Together, why would you make such remarks? You should know that this will have a great impact on the company."

After all, Jim Clark had an acquaintance with Zheng Yan, so he did not come up to accuse him, but asked about the reason.

"Jim, I'm very sorry if the last interview had any impact on the company, but I'm just expressing my personal opinion. As you said, I am also a shareholder of Netscape, and I also don't want to

Your own interests are harmed."

Zheng Yan was really too lazy to say anything more about the fait accompli, but Zheng Yan's indifferent attitude irritated Marc Andreessen.

"Personal opinion? Are you kidding? Mr. Zheng, although this is our first meeting, I have heard a lot about your legendary experience. It is impossible for you not to know what impact your remarks will have on the company.

."

"I can accept whatever views Mr. Zheng holds, but do you need to say it? And do you say it in a globally broadcast interview? Do you know that because of your personal views, it is likely to lead to the company's failure?"

Is the listing plan blocked?”

"If Mr. Zheng still regards himself as a shareholder of Netscape, I hope you can stand up and issue a statement regarding your last point of view to recover the losses caused to the company. As long as Mr. Zheng agrees, we will take this matter as

That didn't happen."

At this time, Netscape was regarded as the "Microsoft of the Internet", and Marc Andreessen was also called the "next Bill Gates". Just when Marc Andreessen was complacent, he was suddenly stabbed by "one of his own"

One knife is naturally difficult to accept.

Today, Mark Anderson is only twenty-four years old. He is truly a young man who succeeds only because he has real talent and learning. Therefore, Jim Clark is relatively tolerant of him, but Zheng Yan will not tolerate his bad habits.

"Mr. Anderson, as the saying goes, if you spill the water, how do you want me to take it back?"

"If you really have enough confidence in Netscape, what I said will only bring more attention to Netscape and will not have any adverse effects. Of course, if your so-called confidence is

If you're just pretending, there's nothing I can do about it.

"

Zheng Yan did not have a very good impression of Marc Andreessen. Now that the competition between Microsoft and Netscape has not yet concluded, he dared to say that in front of Netscape, Windows can only act as a bunch of poorly designed device drivers.

In Zheng Yan's opinion, it is not a bad thing to be successful as a young man, but it is different to be carried away with one's ambition. If it were not for Jim Clark's face, Zheng Yan would have wanted to have him kicked out.

"you…"

"Mark." Just as Mark Anderson was about to refute Zheng Yan, he was stopped by Jim Clark.

"Zheng Yan, I admit that what you said makes sense. We are not completely sure about competing with Microsoft, but similarly, Microsoft is not sure either, otherwise it would not come to us for negotiations again and again. I am very curious,

Why do you think we can’t compete with Microsoft?”

"Today's Netscape is really not worth mentioning in front of Microsoft. There is no comparison in terms of company assets, scale, customer base, and quantity. But in the browser market, we are already far ahead."

"At present, Netscape has occupied about 80% of the market, while Microsoft is still blank in this area. Even if Microsoft starts research in this area now, it will be difficult to catch up with us in a short time. After all, we have already occupied

market."

Jim Clark is more concerned about Zheng Yan's basis for judgment than whether Zheng Yan has changed his mind. Zheng Yan can achieve what he has achieved in just a few years, so he naturally won't talk nonsense. Jim Clark believes that there must be something he has overlooked.

.

"Jim, how do I put this? It's actually somewhat similar to investing. When I invest, I analyze the market, companies and products, and make rational judgments through these, but I also have an emotional side."

"After data analysis, the probability of success in investing in a company may be about 70%, but I may not necessarily invest. On the contrary, I may invest in a company with a probability of success of less than 30%.

."

"This is the case between Netscape and Microsoft. At present, Microsoft does not have any advantage in the browser market, but my intuition tells me that if the competition continues, Netscape will lose."
