Zheng Yan's words seemed like he was talking to himself or to the audience, but more like he was talking to John Doerr, and everyone could hear the anger in Zheng Yan's words.

"Ted, do you mind if I use your show as my next challenge?"

Although he was mentally prepared, Ted David couldn't help but get excited when he heard Zheng Yan's words, "Of course, today's interview is arranged for you. You can say whatever you want as long as you want."

"Thank you. If that's the case, you're welcome." Zheng Yan thanked Ted David and then turned his gaze to the camera lens.

"John Doerr, I don't know if you are watching this show, but I believe that you can always get the news. As the president of Yanhuang Investment, I made an appointment with KPCB to bet on the future of Netscape for one month.

As long as the limit is reached, the bet is one billion US dollars. I am confident enough in my vision. I wonder if you are?"

As soon as Zheng Yan said this, the scene exploded, and Ted David was even more excited. "Zheng Yan, did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong? Do you really want to take one billion US dollars to fight with KPCB?

Betting?"

"No Ted, you heard me right, and I said it right. If John Doerr just held a different opinion than mine, I wouldn't care, but his words are equivalent to a personal attack. If I don't do something,

What, everyone will think that I am easy to bully. As for whether the bet will be established, it depends on whether John Doerr has the courage."

The purpose of Zheng Yan's trip was to retaliate, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to establish his authority. If it was just a Netscape, Zheng Yan would not be able to kill him. After all, he was also a shareholder of Netscape in the past. If he acted too harshly, he would inevitably be criticized.

But KPCB is different.

This incident was obviously instigated by KPCB. Zheng Yan only fought back as a victim. No one could say anything, but the effect was obvious. With the bet proposed by Zheng Yan and Zheng Yan’s successful experience,

Who can buy Netscape stock with confidence?

"Dear audience friends at the scene and in front of the TV, I know that everyone is like me and feels that there is still something to say, but I am very sorry that our program is coming to an end today. But everyone

You can rest assured that we will continue to pay attention to news in this area. Finally, thank you all for watching today’s financial forum.”

With the final nuclear bomb thrown by Zheng Yan, today's financial forum also ended, but the outside discussion has just begun.

…

"An Ran, fortunately I listened to your opinion today and sold all Netscape's stocks, otherwise no one would dare to take over tomorrow." Thinking about what happened today and the interview just now, Li Yanran was actually a little scared.

"It's just luck. Who would have thought that Zheng Yan would be so ruthless and not leave a way for Netscape to survive."

"That's what they deserve. They could have made some money safely and stayed in the competition with Microsoft for a while longer. Who asked them to seek death themselves?"

“…”

…

"You idiot, I told you a long time ago not to talk nonsense in front of the media, but you just didn't listen. What do you think we should do now? I can already imagine what will happen to our stocks after the Nasdaq opens tomorrow.

What will happen? Needless to say, it will rise. As long as it doesn’t fall, I will be thankful."

After seeing the report, Jim Clark yelled at Marc Andreessen.

"Jim, this... you can't blame me entirely. As you can see, the reason why Zheng Yan was angered was mainly because of John Doerr." Marc Anderson really regretted it, because his quick words led to so many

trouble.

"Fart, do you think you have no responsibility? The reason why Zheng Yan bet on Netscape's future is not because of you. If you don't provoke Zheng Yan, even if he is dissatisfied with John Doerr, he will not be involved in Netscape.

On the scene."

Seeing that Marc Andreessen was still shirking responsibility, Jim Clark was even more furious.

"Then what do you think we should do..."

…

"Dur, you are the cause of this matter. Please tell me your thoughts first."

Jim Clark was overwhelmed by the reported matter, and John Doerr, who was involved, was also not relaxed. Because of Zheng Yan's letter of challenge, KPCB's Kleiner, Perkins, and Joyce held an emergency video conference.

"First of all, I want to tell everyone

I apologize for causing so much trouble to the company due to my personal reasons. As for the bet proposed by Zheng Yan, I am personally inclined to accept it."

"Before investing in Netscape, we discussed it carefully, and I don't need to say more about the result. Yesterday's listing of Netscape has proved its potential. As for Microsoft, for now, I don't see any possibility of defeating Netscape.

."

"I don't agree." As soon as John Doerr finished speaking, Perkins said: "According to our understanding of Zheng Yan, although every investment he made was dangerous, he was successful without exception. I don't think so.

I believe he will casually propose a bet, and he must have something to rely on."

"I agree with Duer's opinion." As soon as Perkins finished speaking, Joyce spoke again, "Everyone knows that I am a technician. Netscape's browser has broadened the development direction of computers. It can even be said that it has developed

A whole new area of ​​development.”

"I can't even imagine how big the potential of Netscape is. As for Microsoft, everyone should know that SUN has always been a competitor of Microsoft. At least I haven't found any progress in Microsoft's browser, let alone one month.

We will develop products in-house that can beat Netscape, I can guarantee that."

"And one more thing, don't forget, Zheng Yan has proposed a bet in front of the world's audience this time, which has pushed us to the edge of the cliff. If we don't agree, KPCB's reputation for many years will be ruined. This

We cannot afford the price."

"Are we going to give Zheng Yan a billion dollars in vain for the sake of reputation? What's the point? We founded KPCB to make money, not to get angry with Zheng Yan." Perkins shouted loudly.

"As I said, no one can decide whether to win or lose. In addition, I don't know if you have ever thought about it. If we don't accept the bet, it is equivalent to sending a signal to the outside world that we have no confidence in the future of Netscape.

Under such circumstances, do you think Netscape still has a future?"

"Don't forget, we just invested 600 million US dollars in Netscape. I can guarantee that if we reject Zheng Yan's bet, the money will be lost. Of course, I also know that this is compared to Zheng Yan's bet.

Yan's bet is at least 400 million less, but the nature is different."
