Chapter 475: Netscape goes public

Since Bonnie moved in, although she has not explicitly agreed to the assistant position, as long as Zheng Yan arranges the work, Bonnie will handle everything properly.

However, Zheng Yan did not forget his original intention of keeping Bonnie. He found something for Bonnie to do if he had nothing to do. Today he went to Yanhuang Investment to get some information, and tomorrow he went to deliver something, and Yan Feng drove him every time. Slow down.

Slowly, An Ran and others also realized that something was wrong, but no one said anything.

"Zheng Yan, the car is ready, should we set off now?"

August 9, 1995, was the day Netscape went public. Although Zheng Yan would no longer be a shareholder of Netscape starting tomorrow, Zheng Yan was still prepared to go to the site to take a look.

"Let's go, today should be the happiest day for Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen. As partners, I have to go to the scene to congratulate them."

Netscape was not the first Internet company Zheng Yan invested in, nor would it be the last, but Netscape was the first company Zheng Yan abandoned. In Zheng Yan's opinion, it was quite memorable.

That's why Zheng Yan wanted to take a look.

"Sally, how are your preparations going?"

When Netscape went public, Zheng Yan just went to see the excitement, but Enron and others had already made up their mind to make Netscape the first investment target of Phoenix Investment Fund. Therefore, after Zheng Yan left, Enron and others also started to take action.

"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements here. I'm just waiting for the Nasdaq to open."

As the main person in charge of this investment, Sally Krawcheck has been sharpening her knife for a long time, just waiting to kill the fat sheep of Netscape. I have to say that Zheng Yan’s family is very ruthless, and Zheng Yan is eating Netscape

Meat, the wives behind are still waiting to drink Netscape’s blood.

Zheng Yan knew nothing about everything that happened at home and the little plans of An Ran and others. At nine o'clock in the morning, Zheng Yan and his party arrived at the Nasdaq trading hall near Times Square in New York.

"Zheng Yan is here..."

When Netscape went public, Zheng Yan came once. However, at that time, Zheng Yan was unknown and no media paid attention to him. This time it was different.

As soon as Zheng Yan walked into the hall door, someone shouted, and then he saw a large number of reporters surrounding him like cats that smelled fishy smell.

"Mr. Zheng, there were rumors some time ago that you had differences of opinion with the two founders of Netscape, Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen. But at such an important moment when Netscape went public, you still appeared here. This is

Doesn’t it mean that these rumors are all false?”

"Mr. Zheng, everyone knows that you have talents in the investment field that are unmatched by ordinary people. I don't know what you think of Netscape's listing today. Do you think Netscape will succeed?"

"Mr. Zheng, you said in an exclusive interview not long ago that you are not optimistic about the competition between Netscape and Microsoft. Although Jim Clark, the president of Netscape, later explained this, many people thought that this was an attempt to cover up.

Know what you think?"

"Mr. Zheng, Netscape will go public in twenty minutes, and Microsoft still hasn't made any move in terms of browsers. I wonder if you are still optimistic about Microsoft?"

"Mr. Zheng, some time ago there was news within Netscape that the company's equity structure will change when Netscape goes public. I wonder if this matter has anything to do with you?"

“…”

Although Zheng Yan was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the enthusiasm of reporters at the scene. In addition, through some questions from reporters, Zheng Yan also discovered many problems, such as Netscape's equity structure will change.

When he first met with Jim Clark and Marc Anderson, apart from the three of them, the only one present was Bill Miller. Zheng Yan was very sure that Bill Miller would not leak the conversation between the three of them, so there was only one possibility.

It was arranged by Jim Clark and Marc Anderson.

However, Zheng Yan also understands that if the news of a major shareholder withdrawing shares of a newly listed company comes out on the second day of listing, it will be a fatal blow to Netscape. However, understanding is understanding, Zheng Yan still feels a little unhappy.

, this made the last trace of apology in Zheng Yan's heart disappear.

"Dear friends from the media, today I am only attending Netscape's listing event as a shareholder, and I am not the protagonist today. It is better not to take the spotlight seriously.

My energy was wasted on me. If you have any questions, I’m sure Jim will be happy to answer them.”

Zheng Yan wanted to leave after saying that, but those reporters were like hungry wolves, how could they let Zheng Yan go so easily.

"Mr. Zheng, since you are here as a Netscape shareholder, what do you think of today's listing? Do you think Netscape will be successful?"

Zheng Yan knew that if he didn't say something, it would be impossible to get rid of these reporters today, so he said: "Everyone, since everyone is curious about my attitude, it's okay for me to say something, but we have something to say first, so I will only answer

This is a question."

"Netscape's listing today will definitely be successful. There is no doubt about this. Not only that, I even think that Netscape may become the most successful company listed so far. Well, everyone has got the answer they want. If

If you have any questions, please wait until the Netscape listing is over."

Everyone could tell that Zheng Yan would not answer any more questions, so the reporter did not stop him this time. As soon as Zheng Yan came out of the circle of reporters, he saw Jim Clark and Marc Anderson walking over.

"Zheng Yan, thank you very much for coming today."

Just how influential Zheng Yan is can be seen from the reporter's performance just now. How could Jim Clark not know this? So a few days ago, he notified Zheng Yan of the date of Netscape's listing, but he didn't

That’s just high hopes.

"Jim, don't forget, I am still a shareholder of Netscape. How can I be absent on such an important day today?" Although Zheng Yan felt that there was no affection between the two, he still smiled at each other.

welcome.

"Zheng Yan, I'm very curious. It can be seen from what you just said that you are very optimistic about Netscape. If that's the case, why did you say what you said at the beginning? If you are willing to put aside your prejudice now, we will still cooperate.

partner."

Jim Clark just doesn't want a partner who is alienated from him, but this does not mean that he does not value Zheng Yan. Whether a company can continue to become stronger depends not only on the company's products, but also on the strength of the company's shareholders, and Zheng Yan

Undoubtedly the best choice.
