"Okay Zheng Yan, your kindness saved him. It's just that I'm curious, since you have expected the success of Netscape for a long time, why do you still agree to give them shares? You should know that as long as you don't agree, no one can do anything about you. ”

When he heard Ted David say the word "mercy", Zheng Yan almost laughed, but in the end he held back.

"Ted, if it were you, would you keep a stake in a company that could fail at any time? I wouldn't anyway, so I sold it, and it was as simple as that. ”

Hearing Zheng Yan's answer, Ted Davy became excited, and he felt that the first bombshell of the day was about to appear.

"What? Do you mean that Netscape could go into decline at any time? But how is it possible, Netscape just went public yesterday, and it was the most successful listing in history, and now everyone thinks that Netscape will become the Microsoft of the Internet industry. ”

For Ted David's doubts, Zheng Yan is not surprised at all. If Zheng Yan didn't have the advantage of foresight, he would definitely think so.

"Nothing is impossible, I know Netscape will succeed, but success doesn't mean it won't fail. When I first invested in Netscape, I was really optimistic about the future of Netscape, but then there were some changes, and as for what the changes were, please allow me to sell them. ”

As soon as Zheng Yan finished speaking, he almost choked Ted David to death. originally thought that Zheng Yan would reveal some shocking secrets, but he didn't say it halfway through.

"Zheng Yan, this is your fault, you have just said that as long as it is about Netscape, you will know everything, and now everyone's appetite is hanging, how can you not say it. ”

"Ted, it's not that I don't want to say it, I just want to leave everyone with a little suspense. Since you insist, I might as well reveal a little. My expectations for the internet were so high that the average person couldn't imagine it, and I felt like Jim Clark and Mark Anderson were a little out of my tracks. ”

"However, what really made me decide to give up Netscape was the last time I met with Jim Clark and Mark Anderson, when Mark Anderson directly requested to take back his shares

It also made me completely dead to Netscape. ”

"Fortunately, I'm just dead set on Netscape, not the Internet, so I've found a new partner, which is Microsoft, which I've always been optimistic about. As for more, I can't say anything, as long as you wait for half a month, everything will be known. ”

Hearing this, Ted David suddenly became interested again, and asked with a smile: "Zheng Yan, can I understand it this way, you have joined forces with Microsoft, and you are ready to fight against Netscape that betrayed you, and you already have the certainty of victory?"

Zheng Yan suddenly found that Ted David was also quite cunning, and it seemed that he had changed the question, but in fact, he still asked for the answer to the first question in a different way.

"Ted, you're wrong, first of all, there is no betrayal between me and Netscape, at most there is a disagreement, so the cooperation is terminated. As for what Mark Anderson said, it was nothing more than resentment, and in fact, when it came to resentment, I also had it, but I didn't show it like he did. ”

"Secondly, I'm not co-operating with Microsoft, I'm just investing in Microsoft, and I'm not involved in specific management. Everyone knows that I'm just an investor, and management is not something I'm good at, but I still have that self-knowledge. ”

"As for the third, it's not a big deal, it's just an ordinary competition, and it's an unbalanced competition. In my opinion, this competition has already had a result and will soon be visible to all. ”

Although Zheng Yan's words did not have the slightest fireworks, everyone could hear that Zheng Yan had already sentenced Netscape to death, and as for how long the suspended sentence was, it depended on Netscape's ability.

"Okay Zheng Yan, I'll admit it, I can't get any secrets from you. But I have another question here, there are people who sold a lot of Netscape stock today, which has had a big impact on Netscape's stock price. I can already imagine that tomorrow's report will definitely link you to this matter, I wonder what you think?"

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Zheng Yan asked strangely.

After hearing Ted David's words, Zheng Yan's first thought was Bill Gates, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, today

He also spoke with Bill Gates on the phone and did not mention it. In addition, the real big move used to deal with Netscape is almost brewing, and it will be released soon, and there is no need for Bill Gates to make another move.

"Why, you don't know about this?" Just as Zheng Yan was thinking, Ted Davy spoke again.

"People may not believe it, but I really don't know. As soon as I am no longer a shareholder of Netscape, I naturally no longer care about Netscape. Second, I was a little angry after reading the report today, and I wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the situation in Netscape. ”

"Actually, if you want me to say, this is not necessarily deliberately aimed at Netscape, the market value of Netscape more than doubled yesterday, and it is possible that someone wants to stabilize and want to stop it quickly. Of course, if the number of sell-offs is huge, it's hard to say. But one thing I know for sure is that this matter has nothing to do with me. ”

"If any media is going to associate this matter with me and write it into tomorrow's report, and it happens to see today's program again, then listen to my advice and don't waste pen and ink. ”

Zheng Yan would never have thought that the culprits who made Jim Clark and Mark Anderson anxious and made the major media scramble to speculate were actually Enron, so he was full of confidence when he spoke.

Gossip is originally a human instinct, and as a media person, Ted David's instinct is amplified countless times. I thought I could get an answer from Zheng Yan, but I didn't expect Zheng Yan to know, and it didn't look like a lie, which made Ted David also entangled.

"Zheng Yan, I'm sure you don't know about this, do you think it could be someone close to you who did it?" asked Ted Davy without giving up.

"You're stumped on me, except for the investment I presided over myself, I never asked about the company's affairs. However, even if they do, I don't think it's a big deal, after all, it's a normal stock investment. ”

In the past period of time, An Ran always asked some questions related to Netscape intentionally or unintentionally, but Zheng Yan didn't contact this at all. Now after Ted Davy said this, Zheng Yan thinks it's really possible, but Zheng Yan is not stupid, whether it was Enron or not, Zheng Yan will not admit it.
