"Hey, Zheng Yan, my friend, you are back. The two years you've been away from the U.S. have been really sloppy, and Larry's energy has been focused on beautiful women, and it's hard for me to find someone to talk to. ”

Although Zheng Yan knew that Jobs was just joking, he could also see that he had really been very unhappy in the past two years, otherwise it would be impossible for this kind of thing to come out of his mouth.

"Okay Steve, you've said it yourself that beauty is Larry's biggest motivator to make money, so I don't think it's strange to say this to you. By the way, this is my third brother Liu Wei, and I am also my partner with Larry. ”

"Hello, I'm Liu Wei. ”

"Hello, I'm Steve. ”

After all, Liu Wei and Jobs met for the first time, and their self-introductions were very concise and to the point.

"This is a gathering of friends, not an official meeting, you two don't need to be so formal? Let's go in, I don't like to stand and talk like this." ”

As Jobs' best friend, Larry Ellison naturally knows that after being betrayed one after another, Jobs is always very wary when making friends. His seemingly casual words were tantamount to sending a signal to Jobs that Liu Wei was also his friend.

"By the way, what did you talk about in the afternoon?"

Jobs was also very happy about Zheng Yan's arrival, but he knew better that Zheng Yan, who had not appeared for several years, could not run to San Francisco for no reason, and he was also very curious about the purpose of Zheng Yan's trip.

"Don't mention it, today I was taught a good lesson by Zheng Yan, and I was almost resigned by him as the president of Elite Technology, which is the first time in my career. ”

Hearing Larry Ellison's words, Jobs was really a little surprised. Larry Ellison, who can even say such things as bombing Microsoft, was taught a lesson by Zheng Yan?

"Oh, you even have a time to be trained? It's a pity, if I had known this, I would have put down my work and rushed over, after all, this kind of scene is rare. ”

If it was someone else who was ridiculing him, Larry Ellison might have been furious, but in the face of Jobs, Larry Ellisengen

Ben didn't have a temper, "You already know about elite technology and IM, it's just that Zheng Yan is not very satisfied with the progress of my work..."

"By the way, there's one more thing you wouldn't expect. At the beginning, you had a high evaluation of Netscape Company, and Zheng Yan was also one of its shareholders..."

It was no secret that the conversation had in the afternoon, and the other party was Jobs, so Larry Ellison told him what had happened. Later, I suddenly remembered the Netscape, and finally said it again.

"What? You actually invested in Netscape?" Jobs looked at Zheng Yan in disbelief.

"Isn't that weird? Why are you like Larry, and you don't know, I've always been interested in the Internet industry, and it seems normal to invest in Netscape, right?"

Jobs said in his heart: normal? Normal is strange.

Needless to say, Cisco, which has invested in Cisco, is currently the world's largest network equipment manufacturer, and as for Oracle, it is currently one of the world's largest software companies.

"Isn't it strange that Netscape was all around us, but we didn't get word until the company was founded. And you are thousands of miles away, but you have become a shareholder in their company, is there anything stranger in this world?"

"Seriously, if they had found me, I would have invested. Today's computers are no longer just computing tools, but have begun to take on communication functions, and perhaps in the future, computing functions will become auxiliary. ”

"I've known this for a long time, and I've been looking for an opportunity to get involved, but I haven't found it. However, compared to Netscape, I am more optimistic about your elite technology, but unfortunately, I didn't have it with Larry when he went to Port City. ”

Mr. Jobs's bullishness about the Internet was no secret, and he once specifically mentioned it in interviews, which was one of the reasons that prompted him to shut down the hardware department of the computer company.

"What, you're interested in elite technology?" Zheng Yan asked playfully.

"Are you willing to let me raise money?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Jobs' face

, and then found that something was wrong, and said: "I took it for granted, everyone knows that you are not short of funds, only investment opportunities." How can you let others interfere with a promising company like elite technology. ”

In Jobs's mind, since Zheng Yan is the initiator of elite technology and has made plans for the future of the company, he naturally knows the potential of this company, and there is no reason for him to intervene when there is no shortage of funds at all.

"Steve, let's not say if we will accept your financing. I have one more question for you, don't you have any idea about Apple anymore? Are you willing to let Apple weaken like this?"

For Zheng Yan, since Elite Technology has Larry Ellison, Liu Wei and Zheng Rong, it is not missing a Jobs. It's just that Zheng Yan is still waiting to share the benefits from Apple, and if the addition of Jobs will affect his return to Apple, Zheng Yan can't accept it.

And Jobs is also wondering, Zheng Yan seems to have concluded that he will eventually return to Apple, but now many shareholders of Apple have wanted to package and sell the company, and they have no intention of inviting themselves back, where did Zheng Yan come from such a judgment?

What's more, what is said now is obviously a matter of elite technology, and elite technology and Apple have no conflict anywhere, no matter how you think about it, the two seem to have nothing to do with each other, why did Zheng Yan put these two issues together?

Just when Jobs was puzzled, Larry Ellison on the side said, "Zheng Yan, don't mention Apple." I've also talked to Steve about this, and I can help him buy Apple back, at Apple's current stock price, which is not difficult. ”

But he didn't want to go back to Apple in this way, he wanted Apple to buy computer companies and take the current technology with him. In my opinion, even if you go back, you can't really control the company, and it doesn't make sense at all. ”

I have to say that Larry Ellison's madness is everywhere, buy Apple? He dares to say such things, and Zheng Yan believes that as long as Jobs nods, he will really do it, after all, the current Apple company is not worth much, and there are many people who want to make a move.
