Chapter 448: Press Conference
"Hello Mr. Zheng, I'm Carter from USA Today. I remember a few years ago there was a report about Mr. Zheng that you were dating four women at the same time, but then the report was dismissed. ”
"Even the New York Daily News, which reported the news, has become an asset invested by Mr. Zheng under Yan Huang's name, I wonder if this matter is true?
When Carter first spoke, Zheng Yan knew that it was going to be bad, and by the time he finished speaking, Zheng Yan's face was already as black as the bottom of the pot.
Just as Zheng Yan was thinking about how to answer, Larry Ellison stood up and said, "It seems that my friend has a good temper, so someone dares to say anything." If you're looking to cover the lace news, you've come to the wrong place. Security, get this gentleman out. ”
Larry Ellison asked himself that his reputation was already on the street, so he didn't care about offending reporters and the media, and directly took tough measures against Carter.
"You can't do that, I'm a journalist and I have the right to interview and report..."
No matter how Carter struggled and screamed, no one cared, and he was eventually dragged out of the hall by the security guards.
With Larry Ellison taking over, Zheng Yan sat down directly. Everyone could see that Zheng Yan's mood was not very good, and no one would ask him any more questions.
"Alright, now that the pesky flies are gone, let's move on. Everyone knows that I like beautiful women, so let's ask this pretty lady a question. ”
Larry Ellison's toughness had made the reporters a little uneasy, but the ensuing self-defilement had lightened the mood again.
"Hello Mr. Ellison, I'm Amy from The New York Daily News. Mr. Zheng just said that you are the person in charge of Elite Technology next, does this mean that you are the largest shareholder of Elite Technology?"
Because of Carter's experience, this time the question became normal.
"No, I'm just the president of Elite Technology, the largest shareholder of our company, and my friend Zheng Yan. As for myself, I'm only the second largest shareholder of our company
Finish. Okay, I've answered that question, but for your pretty sake, I may allow you to ask one more question. ”
I don't know if Larry Ellison was trying to adjust the atmosphere, or if he really wanted to tease Amy, and he actually gave her another chance.
"Mr. Ellison, your Oracle has been doing enterprise software, while Mr. Jobs is making personal computers, and Mr. Liu Wei is the president of Longteng Entertainment, not to mention Mr. Zheng, I am very curious, what kind of company is the elite technology you work with?"
Amy seems to be thanking Larry Ellison for giving her one more chance, so she asks a question that Zheng Yan wants to bring up the most.
"Elite Technology currently operates only one product, which is an instant messaging software named IM. You can use it for work, you can also use it to record your life, you can also use it to contact friends, and you can also find ways to relax and entertain from it in the future. ”
"The most important thing is that it's completely free to use. Of course, we will introduce some paid items in the future, but I can guarantee that for more than 90% of people, the free and open features are enough. ”
"At present, the download link of this software is on our official website, interested friends can go back and try it, believe me, you will not be disappointed. Okay, Miss Amy, I'm done answering your question, so let's leave it to this gentleman. ”
The more you can't say clearly, the easier it is for everyone to be curious, so for the introduction of instant messaging software, Larry Ellison said very simply, which is also what Zheng Yan and the others have discussed a long time ago.
"Hello Mr. Jobs, I'm George from Washington Quartere. Everybody knows that you've been focusing on the development of personal computers, and you haven't given up on this research even after the computer company shut down the hardware department. ”
"What is the reason for you to join Elite Technology this time? Does this mean that your focus will shift to this aspect in the future? In addition, it is inconvenient for you to disclose the shares you occupy in Elite Technology? I think everyone here is very concerned. ”
George's question, let the big
Jia clearly understood what greed was, and he asked three of them in one breath, and he looked a little unsatisfied.
"Mr. George, do you want to finish everyone's questions at once? But since you asked, it would be fine for me to answer you. There's no particular reason why I'm investing in elite tech, just because I'm bullish on the company's growth. ”
"You may not believe it, if I wasn't friends with Larry and Zheng Yan, I wouldn't even have the opportunity to invest. As for the future of my work, I will continue to focus on the development of personal computers, and this will not change, nor will I in the future. ”
When I financed Elite Technology, Zheng Yan looked at the face of our friendship and specially gave me a friendly price, and I raised 100 million US dollars, accounting for 10% of the shares of Elite Technology. ”
"What?"
"It can't be!"
“...”
As soon as Jobs finished speaking, the audience was in chaos again. But think about it, a company that has been established for less than a year, and it doesn't make any profits, how dare Zheng Yan give a valuation of one billion dollars? The question is how could Steve Jobs accept it?
But on second thought, it seems impossible for Jobs to joke about such a thing, even for the sake of hype. In the future, if the products of elite technology are not recognized, Jobs's reputation will be over.
"Mr. Jobs, are you sure it's 100 million dollars, not 10 million dollars?" At this time, everyone no longer cared about the rules of who asked questions, and one person stood up and asked directly.
"Of course I'm sure, my arithmetic isn't bad enough to be this far, and I can still tell the difference between 100 million and 10 million. ”
After Jobs' affirmative answer again, everyone had no doubts, but curiosity rose.
Zheng Yan and the others are not stupid, not only are they not stupid, but they are all recognized as smart people. What do they think of a billion-dollar company, and what do their products look like?
With the bombshell thrown by Jobs, the next questions don't matter, and all the reporters are thinking about how to write this story.
