Reborn IT Giant

"We accept the bet, and we may lose, but we may also win. If we lose, we will only lose a billion dollars, but what if we win? This will greatly increase investors' confidence in Netscape, and we will start from Netscape

I received unimaginable rewards.”

Joyce, who has been in the laboratory all year round, is obviously more patient than Perkins. Although his views were refuted by Perkins, he still patiently stated his reasons. It is a pity that Perkins is not so easy to convince.

.

"I admit that what you said makes sense, but I still disagree. Although no one knows Zheng Yan's assets, one thing is for sure, it is definitely not comparable to us. Zheng Yan can not take a billion dollars seriously.

Son, but we can’t.”

"Every money our company makes is planned. If we lose, it will directly affect the next investment plan. In other words, we will not only lose one billion US dollars, but also countless investment opportunities. In my opinion

Come on, this is the biggest loss."

After hearing the debate between Joyce and Perkins, the person who regretted the most was John Doerr. On the one hand, he regretted his hesitation when investing in Netscape. On the other hand, he regretted his unobtrusive speech yesterday.

"Let me tell you my point of view. I personally agree with this bet." Just as Joyce and the two were arguing, another person said: "Zheng Yan's achievements in investment are indeed amazing, but after all, he

He is a human being, not a god."

"Maybe we will fail, and the consequences may be serious, but this is not a reason for us to be afraid. Since we are a venture capital company, we have already prepared for investment failure. If we give up because of fear, we might as well dissolve the company.

Already."

"Let me tell you, we regard this bet as an investment. If we win, our gains will be unimaginable. Even if we fail, we can afford one billion US dollars. I don't want to be a laughing stock in the financial world. Others

Words of conversation."

"I don't agree..."

“…”

One person expresses support, and then someone jumps out to oppose it, each with their own reasons. It seems to be an endless cycle.

As the founder of KPCB, Kleiner has been watching quietly and has never spoken, but his headache is no less than others.

Seeing that the matter has not yet been discussed and resolved, KPCB is showing a tendency to split, and he cannot sit still.

"Everyone, be quiet. We are here to discuss countermeasures today, not to quarrel. I hope everyone will understand today's theme. I have heard rumors about Zheng Yan before, but I never took it to heart. Now I finally believe him.

It’s really difficult to deal with.”

"Zheng Yan just sent out a letter asking for help on the show, and he has already caused us to be in chaos. What if he really takes action against us? Will our company go bankrupt tomorrow? Don't forget, we are all senior

Investors must remain calm at all times."

After all, Kleiner is the founder of KPCB. He has a high prestige in the company, and everyone sitting here is not a fool. He quickly came to his senses. Whether he will accept the bet or not, at least not because of this matter,

Let irreconcilable conflicts arise within the company.

Seeing that everyone had regained their composure, Kleiner continued: "Let me express my opinion. I agree with this bet."

"Any investment has risks. Everyone knows this. Before investing in Netscape, we all discussed it and felt that the risk this time was very small. If this can't give us confidence, then why talk about venture capital?"

?”

"However, this is not the main reason why I agree. As everyone knows, I am a conservative person and have doubts about all possible risks, so I don't want to make any big claims. I am just doing this for the honor of KPCB.

"

"This incident happened suddenly, and we must respond as soon as possible. Since everyone's opinions cannot be unified, we might as well vote. For now, this may be the only way."

"I agree."

"I agree too."

"I give up."

“…”

With Kleiner's support, most people chose to accept the bet, and even Perkins, who had always been opposed, voted in support.

If we want to say who has the deepest affection for KPCB, it must be Kleiner. Besides Kleiner, it is Perkins. The two of them founded KPCB together, and Perkins did not want the company to become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

"Okay, since most people agree, then this matter is settled. Regardless of winning or losing, no one is allowed to mention it again. Duer, are you still in New York now?"

"Yes, I was planning to leave tomorrow, but I didn't expect..."

"Since you are still in New York, the negotiation will be left to you. We can agree to the bet, but the bet agreement needs to be carefully considered. The most important thing is the criterion for distinguishing the winner from the loser. This must not be taken lightly."

"Zheng Yan said it was limited to one month, but everyone knows that no matter what happens, Netscape cannot go bankrupt within a month, so the criteria for victory and defeat are difficult to define. I think you can explore Zheng Yan first.

Yan’s tone of voice, and then consider whether to agree.”

Now everyone understands what Kleiner means. We can agree to the bet. However, if the method you mentioned to define victory and defeat is unacceptable to us, then it’s no wonder that we have it. After thinking about it, those who reject the bet will

Also feel relieved.

"Don't worry, I will carefully consider the content of the agreement tomorrow and make an appointment with Zheng Yan the day after tomorrow."

…

"Zheng Yan, you are back. We also watched the interview just now. The scene where you proposed the bet at the end was really cool. You really deserve to be our...our husband."

As soon as Zheng Yan's car stopped, Li Yanran ran over, followed by An Ran and others.

After the interview ended, Zheng Yan's anger had almost been vented. When he saw Li Yanran looking at him with admiration, Zheng Yan became stinky again.

"That's necessary. When did I, your husband, fall out of line? This time I want to give everyone a warning. Just because I'm low-key doesn't mean I'm easy to bully."

"Okay, you, what are you so proud of? It's obvious that you are bullying others. If they don't agree, they will lose face for sure. If they agree, they will not only lose face, but also lose money. The saddest thing is, they also

Completely unaware.”

"You said that John Doerr is the same. It's not good to offend anyone, but you are the evil star. It's really a long-lived person who eats arsenic. Frost, it's too long to live."

Seeing Zheng Yan's proud face, Liu Wei felt unhappy and a little sour, thinking: Why don't there any fools give him money?
