Bill Miller saw that Zheng Yan looked like he was holding a wisdom pearl, so he was no longer worried, according to past experience, as long as Zheng Yan showed this expression, then the matter would be done.

Zheng Yan expected Matthew Bruce and Henry to come, but he didn't expect that the two were even more anxious than he expected. Early the next morning, Zheng Yan had just had breakfast, and the two of them came to the hotel.

"You two came sooner than I expected, but that's fine, you must have considered the conditions, so you might as well speak up. "The other party's intention to sell is already very obvious, but now the difference is only the conditions, and Zheng Yan is too lazy to make a false deal with them.

"Since Mr. Zheng is so happy, then I will say it directly. The price we agreed with Mr. Miller was $20 million, but now it's not the other company that is interested in the Mosaic web browser, so..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Henry, but excuse me. The conditions can be mentioned by the other party, but this does not mean that Zheng Yan is willing to be led by the nose.

"I'll admit you're telling the truth, but don't forget that Netscape is the dominant browser these days, and some people may want to use Mosaic Web Browser to compete with Netscape, but you should understand the risks without me talking about it. ”

That said, even if someone were willing to buy a commercial use of Mosaic's web browser, the bid wouldn't be too high, and I'm sure there weren't too many of them, because not everyone has the courage to do that. ”

Henry originally planned to explain his advantages and then put forward the conditions, but he didn't expect that Zheng Yan would be so strong that he didn't wait for him to finish speaking. Fortunately, Henry had to be prepared and was not in a hurry at all.

"Mr. Zheng, I admit that what you said has a point. But you can't deny that the value of the Mosaic web browser has increased in disguise, anyway?"

Seeing Zheng Yan nodded, Henry continued to speak: "Since Mr. Zheng agrees with my statement, then we can continue to talk." ”

"Like you said, we sold the commercial rights separately, and there weren't too many interested people, and the price wouldn't be too high, but it would be more than $20 million, so we decided to make a little bit of a change on the original basis. ”

"The previous agreement with Mr. Miller is still valid, but on that basis, we need to attach one condition. If this product is brought to market in the future, we need to get a 30% share of the profits. ”

Henry had investigated Zheng Yan for a long time, and since Zheng Yan's appearance in the United States, all the investments presided over by him have been unprecedentedly successful. Although they themselves failed in the process of competing with Netscape, they expected Zheng Yan to create a miracle again.

"What? It can't be. Zheng Yan hadn't spoken yet, but Bill Miller was anxious first, "Mr. Henry, I think you should know that your browser is at most a half-finished product compared to Netscape. ”

"If you want to compete with Netscape, you need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to improve it in the later stage. And you want to rely on such a semi-finished product to directly ask for 30% of the profit share after leaving, don't you think it's too greedy?"

Henry and Matthew the Bruce seem to have agreed a long time ago, one singing red face and the other white face. Matthew Bruce saw that Henry was deflated, and immediately stood up, "Mr. Miller, of course we know what you said. The 30% profit share is not for nothing, and we can be responsible for the improvement and update of the browser in the future. ”

"That's too much..."

“…”

Because of an additional condition, the protagonists of the negotiation were directly replaced by Bill Miller and Matthew Bruce, and Zheng Yan and Henry were idle instead, quietly watching the two arguing.

In fact, even Bill Miller didn't know that when he heard the conditions proposed by Henry, Zheng Yan almost agreed, and even felt that this trip was meaningless. For others, Henry's condition may be very harsh, but for Zheng Yan, this condition is equivalent to nothing.

"Mr. Miller, we can reduce the cost a little, but we will not compromise on this aspect. I think we should probably listen to Mr. Cheng's opinion. ”

Bill Miller and Matthew Bruce argued for a long time, and Matthew Bruce made some concessions, but in Bill Miller's opinion, such concessions were meaningless. Still, Bill Miller stopped.

Others may not know Zheng Yan, but who is Bill Miller? He suddenly found that Zheng Yan was too calm, as if the other party's lion opened his mouth and had nothing to do with him, which was not in line with Zheng Yan's style of acting.

"It seems that Bill and Mr. Bruce have not agreed on this issue, everyone should ignore my attitude for now, Mr. Henry, there is one thing I am very curious about, why did you put forward such a condition?"

"You should know that if it is just a few additional fees, I will not refuse. But in your way, if I don't say yes or no, what if I fail? You're going to lose a lot of money, aren't you worried?"

If you want to say that the most beneficial way for Zheng Yan is naturally to directly agree to the other party's request. But thinking about the profits that this browser may bring to him, Zheng Yan is a little unbearable, and he can't bear to pit them too badly.

"Mr. Zheng, we are also investing, not investing in this browser, but investing in you as a person. Mr. Zheng's investment vision, not only us, but also the entire Wall Street knows, since Mr. Zheng is optimistic about the browser market, why don't we take a gamble?"

If it was an investment in other aspects, Henry's choice was undoubtedly the right one, but this time, he was probably going to be disappointed.

"Mr. Henry, I think you can listen to my conditions. I know that $20 million is a little lower, and I can raise the price to $50 million. Of course, if you still stick to your choice, I can also agree. ”

I don't know why, after hearing Zheng Yan's conditions, Henry's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't think of anything wrong. After a moment of ideological struggle, he still decided to trust his own judgment, "Mr. Zheng, we still choose to share." ”

After hearing the answer given by Henry, Zheng Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really hard to be a good person. Zheng Yan tried his best to help them recover their losses, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all.

The so-called immortals are difficult to save the ghosts who are dead, Zheng Yan thinks that he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, since the other party does not listen to persuasion, then it can only be up to them.
