Chapter 389: Investing in Netscape on

When he woke up, not only was his tired spirit relieved, but also Zheng Yan remembered some things. Not anything else, but about Jim Clark, who gave him his business card in the casino.

Jim Clark, one of the founders of the once-prosperous Netscape company, and a legend in his own right. He has spent fifteen years creating three companies with a market value of more than a billion dollars, and now Netscape is the second company.

Netscape once created an Internet myth, although this myth did not exist for a long time, but it helped define the "Internet age". For Zheng Yan, as long as the operation is done properly, he will also get hundreds of millions of dollars in returns.

According to the Wall Street Journal's observation, it took General Dynamics 43 years to reach a market capitalization of $2.7 billion, while Netscape took "about 1 minute." And this is not the limit of Netscape, according to Zheng Yan's memory, the peak market value of Netscape is about five billion US dollars.

The Netscape browser developed by Netscape was once a threat to Microsoft, and many people believed that Netscape would replace Microsoft's hegemony, but unfortunately it eventually became a stepping stone on the road to Microsoft's development.

However, none of this has anything to do with Zheng Yan, Zheng Yan only thinks about one thing now, that is, to invest in Netscape companies that are in the development stage. In addition, there is some preparation for the collapse of the Netscape myth in a few years.

"Hey guys, I don't want to disturb you, but I think we should go back. ”

Obviously, there is a huge pie in Aocheng, and it has been put to his mouth, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, Zheng Yan feels sorry for God's favor.

"Oh, Zheng Yan, you're so disappointed every time. If I had known that, I might as well have let you stay in the hotel and sleep. ”

Although Larry Ellison and others were a little dissatisfied, they still followed Zheng Yan's advice and returned directly to Aocheng. After disembarking, Zheng Yan used the excuse of talking about cooperation to separate Larry Ellison, Liu Wei and Zheng Rong, leaving only Bill Miller.

If it is reasonable to say that Zheng Yan is in a hurry to return from the sea, then his behavior at this moment is a little strange. Fortunately, Zheng Yan's strange behavior is not small, Larry Ellison and others have become accustomed to it, that is, they have not asked.

"Zheng Yan, when you go to meet guests, you shouldn't need me by your side, right?"

Whether it is Port City or Aocheng, Bill Miller has no friends, so for Zheng Yan's arrangement, the most curious person is Bill Miller.

"Remember the guy who gave me my business card at the casino yesterday? I'm going to meet him. I had a strong instinct that there would be unexpected surprises at this meeting. Zheng Yan pretended to be mysterious.

Although Zheng Yan does not have the habit of carrying a mobile phone, Bill Miller, as the actual controller of Yanhuang Investment, has always carried his mobile phone with him. After a phone call, Zheng Yan and Bill Miller went directly to Jim Clark's room.

"Mr. Clark, I hope we didn't bother you. ”

Compared with yesterday, the smile on Zheng Yan's face at the moment is much more sincere. Yesterday it was just out of politeness, and now Zheng Yan has regarded Jim Clark as his big benefactor.

"Of course not, I am very honored that Mr. Zheng and Mr. Miller are here in person. ”

Jim Clark was a little excited, the reason why he gave Zheng Yan a business card yesterday was just a fluke, and he didn't expect Zheng Yan to come to see him, let alone Zheng Yan to meet him so soon.

"Is Mr. Clark here on vacation?"

Although Zheng Yan was very interested in Netscape, Zheng Yan knew better that this kind of thing could not be brought up by him. Only when Jim Clark takes the initiative to bring it up can he maximize his benefits.

"It was true before last night, but since I met you, Mr. Zheng, maybe some changes will happen. Seriously, if it weren't for Larry Ellison and Mr. Miller yesterday, I'm afraid I would have missed the opportunity to get acquainted with Mr. Cheng. ”

"You should know that in the eyes of us Westerners, many of the Oriental faces are similar. And Mr. Zheng, you are relatively low-key, except for some sporadic reports about you a few years ago, there has been no news about you in the past two years. ”

After the investment in oil futures ended, Zheng Yan became the most discerning investor on Wall Street. But with Zheng Yan's disappearance, he has another title, the most mysterious investor.

"I'm not keeping a low profile, I just don't want to be disturbed. I've been with my family for the past few years, but I think maybe it won't be long before I'll be back in the limelight. ”

"The whole Wall Street knows that I am very interested in investing in the Internet, and in the past few years, there have been many new Internet companies in the United States, and I am afraid that if I don't show up, I will not be able to keep up with the pace of Internet development. Zheng Yan said with a smile.

Zheng Yan seems to be chatting and talking about a well-known fact, but in fact, he is deliberately guiding Jim Clark. And Zheng Yan's actions are exactly what Jim Clark wants.

Mr. Zheng laughed, everyone knows that you are one of the shareholders of Cisco, although it has only been a few years, but Cisco has become one of the giants of Silicon Valley. In addition, when you resolutely invested in Oracle at its lowest point, there were also many people who were not optimistic about it at the beginning, but a year later, those people were also slapped in the face. ”

"That's just what everyone knows, and that's all there is to make no one doubt your vision for this. And I believe that Mr. Cheng must have investments that are not known to the outside world. At least personally, I have a lot of admiration for Mr. Zheng's vision in this regard, which is why I wanted to meet you. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Yan also became a little excited, he knew that he would talk about what he cared about next, but these were all hidden in Zheng Yan's heart and did not show it.

Jim Clark didn't know what Zheng Yan had in mind, but continued: "I just co-founded a new company based on a browser, and I'm sure it's definitely the most advanced browser software out there. ”

"To tell you the truth, I have already approached Doerr of KPCB Venture Capital in the United States, and Doerr and Joyce are very optimistic about the company's development prospects, but the other partners do not seem to agree, so they have not yet received financing. ”

"I know that Mr. Zheng is very interested in Internet companies, so I want to see if you have any plans to invest. Jim Clark stopped after saying his purpose in one breath.
