Reborn IT Giant

"Okay Zheng Yan, your kindness saved him. But I'm curious, since you had already anticipated Netscape's success, why did you agree to sell them the shares? You should know that as long as you don't agree, anyone can take it.

You can't help it."

When she heard Ted David say the word "mercy", Zheng Yan almost laughed out loud, but luckily she held it back.

"Ted, if it were you, would you keep shares in a company that might fail at any time? I wouldn't, so I sold it. It's that simple."

Hearing Zheng Yan's answer, Ted David became excited. He felt that the first bombshell of the day was about to appear.

"What? You mean that Netscape may decline at any time? But how is that possible? Netscape just went public yesterday, and it is the most successful listing in history. Now everyone thinks that Netscape will become the Internet industry

Microsoft."

Zheng Yan is not surprised at all by Ted David's doubts. If Zheng Yan did not have the advantage of foresight, he would definitely think so too.

"Nothing is impossible. I know that Netscape will succeed, but success does not mean that it will not fail. When I invested in Netscape, I was indeed very optimistic about Netscape's future, but something changed later.

What is the change? Please allow me to explain it."

As soon as Zheng Yan finished speaking, Ted David almost choked to death. I originally thought that Zheng Yan would reveal some shocking secret, but he stopped talking halfway through.

"Zheng Yan, this is your fault. You just said that you will tell everything about Netscape. Now everyone's appetite has been whetted. How can you not tell me."

"Ted, it's not that I don't want to say it, I just want to leave everyone with a little suspense. Since you insist, I might as well reveal it. My expectations for the Internet are very high, so high that ordinary people can't imagine it. I think Jim Clark

And Marc Andreessen can’t keep up with my thinking.”

"However, what really made me decide to give up Netscape was the last meeting with Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen. At that time, Marc Andreessen directly made a request to withdraw his shares.

It also made me completely give up on Netscape."

"Fortunately, I just gave up on Netscape and not on the Internet, so I found a new partner, which is Microsoft, which I have always been optimistic about. As for more, I can't say, everyone just needs to wait.

In half a month, everything will be clear."

Hearing this, Ted David suddenly became interested again and asked with a smile: "Zheng Yan, can I understand that you have united with Microsoft and are preparing to fight against Netscape who betrayed you, and you

Are you already sure of victory?"

Zheng Yan suddenly discovered that Ted David was also quite cunning. He seemed to have changed the question, but in fact he still used different methods to find out the answer to the first question.

"Ted, you are wrong. First of all, there is no betrayal between Netscape and I. At most, it is a disagreement, which led to the termination of cooperation. As for what Marc Andreessen said, it is nothing more than resentment. In fact, when it comes to resentment,

I have it too, but I don't show it like he does."

"Secondly, I am not joining forces with Microsoft. I just invested in Microsoft and will not participate in specific management. Everyone knows that I am just an investor and management is not what I am good at. I still have this self-knowledge.

of."

"As for third place, let alone a big fight, it's just an ordinary competition, and it's still an uneven competition. In my opinion, this competition has already had its results, and it will soon be over.

The results will be visible to everyone.”

Although Zheng Yan's words were not full of fireworks, everyone could tell that Zheng Yan had sentenced Netscape to death. As for how long the suspended sentence would be, it would depend on Netscape's ability.

"Okay Zheng Yan, I admit, I can't get any secrets from you. But I have another problem here. Someone sold a large amount of Netscape's stock today, which had a great impact on Netscape's stock price. I can already

Imagine, tomorrow’s report will definitely connect you with this matter, what do you think?”

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zheng Yan asked strangely.

After hearing Ted David's words, the first thing Zheng Yan thought of was Bill Gates, but when he thought about it again, he felt it was wrong. Today he

I also had a phone call with Bill Gates, but did not mention this matter. In addition, the real big move to deal with Netscape is almost ready and will be released soon, so there is no need for Bill Gates to make unnecessary moves.

"Why, you don't know about this?" Just as Zheng Yan was thinking, Ted David spoke again.

"You may not believe it, but I really don't know. First of all, I am no longer a shareholder of Netscape, so naturally I will no longer care about Netscape's problems. Secondly, I was a little angry after reading the report today, and I am not in the mood to pay attention to Netscape.

situation."

"Actually, I have to say that this is not necessarily aimed at Netscape. Yesterday, Netscape's market value more than doubled. It is possible that someone wants stability and wants to stop selling quickly. Of course, if the amount of selling is huge, then

It’s hard to say. But one thing I can be sure of is that this matter has nothing to do with me.”

"If any media is going to link this matter with me and write it into tomorrow's report, and happens to see today's program, then you'd better listen to my advice and don't waste any time."

Zheng Yan would never have thought that the culprits that caused Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen so much trouble and caused the major media to speculate were actually Enron and the others, so he was confident when he spoke.

Gossip is a human instinct, and as a media person, Ted David magnified this instinct countless times. I thought I could get the answer from Zheng Yan, but I didn’t expect that Zheng Yan didn’t know, and he didn’t look like he was lying.

This also made Ted David confused.

"Zheng Yan, I believe you don't know about this. Do you think someone around you did it?" Ted David asked unwillingly.

"This is difficult for me. Except for the investments I direct, I have never been involved in the company's affairs. However, even if they do it, I don't think it's okay. After all, this is a normal stock investment."

In the past period of time, An Ran and others always asked some questions related to Netscape intentionally or unintentionally, but Zheng Yan did not contact them at all. Now after what Ted David said, Zheng Yan felt that it was really possible.

, but Zheng Yan is not stupid. Regardless of whether An Ran or the others did it, Zheng Yan will not admit it.
