Because of Zheng Yan's bet with KPCB, almost all the media's enthusiasm has been mobilized. Early the next morning, the headquarters of Yanhuang Investment was surrounded by reporters.

"This is too exaggerated, I don't know which head of state I thought was traveling. Zheng Yan, do you have a back door? If we go on like this, I'm afraid we will be eaten by those reporters. Liu Wei looked at the reporter outside the car window and suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

"Don't worry, the focus of their attention is on gambling, if they block us outside, then what's the point? Besides, even if they want to block it, it will be blocking Zheng Yan, what does it have to do with us? Let's go, go down and have a look. ”

Larry Ellison was used to this kind of scene, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and opened the car door and walked down. Liu Wei also felt reasonable, so he got out of the car closely, but immediately regretted it.

"Mr. Ellison, everyone knows that you are a good friend of Zheng Yan, what do you think of this bet?"

"Mr. Jobs, does your sudden appearance here today show that you are not optimistic about the future of Netscape either?"

"Mr. Ellison, you have a long-standing feud with Microsoft, this time Zheng Yan is obviously on Microsoft's side, and you are here again, does this show that you are also optimistic about Microsoft?"

"Mr. Jobs..."

“...”

The siege that Liu Wei was worried about finally appeared, but everyone's target was only Larry Ellison and Jobs, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

Zheng Yan in the car looked at the situation at the scene, and knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to go out, so he opened the car door and walked down.

"Mr. Zheng, because of the bet you proposed, the Netscape with a promising future in everyone's eyes has fallen into a predicament, and some people even think that this is deliberate revenge, I don't know what you think?"

"Mr. Zheng, some people think that your proposal to bet is just a bluff, just to hinder the development of Netscape so as to buy time for Microsoft, I don't know what you want to say?"

“...”

"Everyone, be quiet. Zheng Yan shouted at the crowd: "The reason why I notified the media today is just to let everyone be a witness. If you have any questions, I will give you time to ask questions afterwards, so please let me do so now. ”

As soon as he spoke, a group of security personnel suddenly poured out of the building, coupled with the bodyguards brought by Zheng Yan, and finally sent Zheng Yan and others safely into the building.

"Bill, when will John Doerr arrive?" Zheng Yan was really afraid of those curious reporters at this time, and just wanted to end this matter quickly.

"The time I told me was ten o'clock in the morning, fifteen minutes to go, and he must have arrived soon. ”

As soon as Bill Miller finished speaking, he heard another commotion outside the building, and John Doerr arrived. Not only that, Zheng Yan also found Jim Clark and Mark Anderson in the crowd.

"Bill, get ready, get all the reporters in the room. As for those reporters who do not listen to the command, they are directly stopped outside. ”

Larry Ellison's way of doing things is a little rough, but in this case, it is the most effective, and Zheng Yan doesn't mind learning it.

With the cooperation of the security personnel, the three of John Doerr quickly got rid of the reporters, but the faces of the three were not very good-looking. They never thought that Zheng Yan would make things so big that there was no way to retreat.

"Zheng Yan, how can we say that we are also former partners, is it necessary to get things to this point?"

In front of Zheng Yan, Mark Anderson couldn't speak at all, and John Doerr also saw Zheng Yan for the first time, and in the end, Jim Clark stood up.

"Jim, I've made concessions on Netscape many times, and you should know better than me why it's the way it is today. Stop talking nonsense and get started. Anyway, he has already torn his face, and Zheng Yan is too lazy to be vain.

"Friends from the media, I have just said that the main purpose of today is for you to be a witness, so I hope you can keep quiet for the rest of the time. If you have any questions, please raise your hand and ask. ”

After Zheng Yan calmed the reporter, he turned his gaze to John Doerr and said, "Mr. Doerr, since the KPCB has agreed to this VAM, I have prepared a VAM agreement here, and Mr. Doerr may wish to take a look." ”

"Mr. Zheng, we at KPCB have also prepared an agreement, Mr. Zheng may wish to take a look at it. After all, a billion dollars is not a small amount, and we hope that there can be a reasonable standard for judging. ”

Although the billion-dollar bet is not Zheng Yan's main goal, if it is possible, who is willing to give up? For KPCB, a billion dollars is enough for them to break their muscles and bones, and naturally they will not let Zheng Yan lead the way.

Zheng Yan was not surprised at John Doerr's reaction, so he took the agreement and looked at it, but he didn't look at it for long before he lost interest.

"Mr. Doerr, I'm sorry to bother, but that's what you're talking about? Don't you think it's too childish to compare Netscape's current stock price to Netscape's stock price a month from now?"

The KPCB will make a fuss about the VAM agreement, which Zheng Yan should be prepared for, but he didn't expect that the other party would put forward such a nonsense judging standard.

Netscape's market capitalization seems to be amazing, but there are not many shares that really circulate in the secondary market, and with the strength of KPCB, it can completely guarantee that Netscape's shares will continue to rise within a month, that is, according to this method, Zheng Yan has no chance of winning at all.

John Doerr was not surprised by Zheng Yan's reaction at all, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, for a listed company, what better reflection of a company's situation than the company's stock price? Could it be that Mr. Zheng wants to use the market share of the browser to determine the winner? If so, there is no problem on my side." ”

"Well, I think that's a pretty good idea. John Doall invisibly dug another pit for Zheng Yan, but how could Zheng Yan let him get his wish.

"At present, in terms of the browser market, Netscape is really a dominant one, accounting for almost 90% of the market. Let's look at the market share after a month, if Netscape's market share decreases, what if I win?"

Hearing Zheng Yan's answer, John Doerr almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

As it stands, Netscape is almost impossible to further expand its market share. If Microsoft launches a browser in the near future, Netscape's market share will inevitably decrease, which means that Zheng Yan has won.
