Four hundred and seventieth eight chapters Jim Clark's doubts
"Zheng Yan, you have seen how popular Netscape's stock is. The company has only been established for a little more than a year, and now its market value has reached 2.9 billion U.S. dollars. I wonder if you still think Netscape will lose to Microsoft.
?”
Since the last time he saw Zheng Yan, Marc Andreessen had been holding back his anger. Now that Netscape has successfully gone public, he has also become a young billionaire. When he faced Zheng Yan again, he suddenly felt angry.
Feel.
Seeing Mark Anderson's triumphant look, Zheng Yan was not angry. He stretched out a finger and said: "Mark, you can only dance for a month at most. If you can still say this after a month, count on me."
lose!"
Mark Anderson was feeling very proud at the moment. He couldn't bear the stimulation, and his face instantly turned ferocious. Just as he was about to retort, he was stopped by Jim Clark.
"Zheng Yan, can we find a place to talk?"
Zheng Yan's prediction for Netscape's IPO this morning was so accurate that it was almost unbelievable. In addition, what Zheng Yan said to Marc Andreessen just now seemed to have profound meaning. What does it mean to jump for a month at most? This made Jim Clark feel
Full of uneasiness.
"Jim, if you have anything to say, just say it here. I don't have much time."
Seeing the worry on Jim Clark's expression, which was even more obvious than the joy of Netscape's successful IPO, Zheng Yan knew that Jim Clark had noticed something wrong in his performance, but he just didn't realize that the problem had arisen.
Just somewhere.
"Zheng Yan, today's prediction of Netscape's IPO once again proves your investment vision. But I am very surprised. Doesn't today's events not prove Netscape's potential? Why are you so sure that Netscape will lose?
What about Microsoft?”
Regardless of other factors, Zheng Yan had a pretty good impression of Jim Clark, but Netscape's failure was already doomed, and even Zheng Yan was powerless to do anything about it.
"Jim, before I answer your question, answer me a question first, what do you think the Internet is?"
After hearing Zheng Yan's words, Jim Clark was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Let me tell you
Let me give you my opinion. Do you want to hear it? In your eyes, the Internet is just a new way of transmitting information. You only regard the Internet as a new industry. You have not thought about the future of this industry, let alone the future of this industry.
The changes that the Internet may bring to this era.”
"But I don't think so. In my opinion, the Internet is about to bring a revolution to this era. Just like the first industrial revolution caused by the steam engine, and the second industrial revolution caused by the widespread application of electricity.
Same."
"For now, Netscape is indeed at the forefront of this revolution, but this does not mean that Netscape can continue to be the leader. Just like IBM back then, everyone felt that it was unshakable.
But Microsoft is about to catch up with him."
"If Netscape is given another ten years to develop... not even ten years, but just five years, I believe that Netscape's position will become as stable as IBM's at the beginning, but do you think Microsoft will give it
Did it take you so long to develop?”
Zheng Yan's remarks were too advanced. Needless to say, Jim Clark and everyone present except Yan Feng were dumbfounded.
"Zheng Yan, the outside media just flatters you. Do you not know who you are? I admit that you have some talent in the investment field, but how can you predict the coming of an era?"
Mark Anderson finally found an excuse to attack Zheng Yan, and jumped out impatiently again, but this time he was no longer angry, he just felt that Zheng Yan was a little arrogant, or mentally abnormal.
Jim Clark also began to doubt his own judgment. Zheng Yan's investments had never failed, and his judgment on Netscape's listing was very accurate, but what he said this time was really unbelievable.
"Zheng Yan, is this the basis for your judgment? Are you sure you're not joking?"
After hearing Jim Clark's words, Zheng Yan was very happy for her decision, but at the same time a little disappointed.
If Jim Clark could wake up now, Zheng Yan would not mind helping him to promote cooperation between Netscape and Microsoft, and even persuade Bill Gates to let Microsoft complete the acquisition of Netscape. It is a pity that Jim Clark did not seize the opportunity.
"Okay Jim, I've said everything I need to say, and you've got the answer you want. That's it for today. Tomorrow I'll ask Bill to wait for you at Yanhuang Investment, and then complete the transfer of the shares."
After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he left the trading floor with Yan Feng and others without giving Jim Clark a chance to speak.
Ever since she got in the car, Bonnie had been staring at Zheng Yan intently, which made Zheng Yan feel scared. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and said to Bonnie: "Why are you looking at me like this? I have a long hair on my face."
Is it worth the money?"
"Zheng Yan, were you serious about what you just said? Weren't you trying to deal with Jim Clark and Mark Anderson?"
"Nonsense, of course I am serious. Besides, they are not like me. Can I deal with them?" Zheng Yan said angrily.
"I think you should see a psychiatrist." Bonnie said seriously.
"Pfft..." Hearing Bonnie's answer, Zheng Yan didn't react for a moment, but Yan Feng, who was driving in the front seat, couldn't help laughing.
"You should see a psychiatrist. Your whole family should see a psychiatrist."
After coming back to his senses, Zheng Yan was immediately angry. At the same time, he felt a little regretful. He regretted letting Bonnie be his assistant. If nothing else, just the way he spoke made him sick even if he wasn't sick.
"Zheng Yan, do you know what you just said? You used to be an investment myth in everyone's eyes, but believe it or not, if the words you said were spread, you would immediately become an investment myth."
"Bonnie, today I will teach you a truth. The truth is in the hands of a few people. Let's not talk about whether the Internet will trigger an information revolution, because the process is a bit long and the results will not be available for a while. Let's talk about Netscape first.
."
"I just told Marc Andreessen that he can jump around for a month at most. In fact, I have relaxed the deadline. Maybe it will only take half a month before he jumps in a hurry. If you don't believe it, we might as well make a bet."
Zheng Yan finally figured it out. It is said that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Now that Bonnie has been invited, it is impossible to send them away. Moreover, Yan Feng cannot agree to it based on his condition, so Zheng Yan is ready to find another way.
