Zheng Yan's words seemed to be talking to himself and to the audience, but it was more like saying it to John Doerr, and everyone heard the anger from Zheng Yan's words.

"Ted, you don't mind if I use your show to next a war book, do you?"

Although he was already prepared, hearing Zheng Yan's words, Ted David couldn't help but get excited, "Of course, today's interview is arranged for you, as long as you want, you can say anything." ”

"Thank you, in that case, then you're welcome. Zheng Yan thanked Ted Davy and turned his gaze to the camera.

"John Doerr, I don't know if you're watching the show or not, but I'm sure you'll always get the news. As the president of Yanhuang Investment, I made a bet with KPCB on the future of Netscape for a period of one month, and bet one billion US dollars. I'm confident enough in my vision, I wonder if you have one?"

As soon as Zheng Yan's words came out, the scene exploded directly, and Ted David was even more excited. "Zheng Yan, did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong? Do you really want to bet on KPCB with a billion dollars?"

"No, you heard me right, and I didn't say it wrong. I wouldn't care if John Doerr just had a different opinion than I did, but his words amounted to a personal attack, and if I didn't do something about it, everyone would think I was a bully. As for whether the bet is valid, it depends on whether John Doerr has the courage to do so. ”

The purpose of Zheng Yan's trip is to retaliate, and he also wants to take this opportunity to stand up. If it's just a Netscape, Zheng Yan is not easy to make a dead hand, after all, he was also a shareholder of Netscape in the past, and it is inevitable that he will be criticized for being too ruthless, but KPCB is different.

This incident was obviously provoked by KPCB, Zheng Yan just fought back as a victim, and no one could say anything, but the effect was obvious. With Zheng Yan's gambling contract, coupled with Zheng Yan's successful experience, who can buy Netscape's shares with confidence?

"Dear viewers and friends in front of the TV, I know that everyone feels like me, and I feel a little unsatisfied, but I'm very sorry, and this is the end of our program today. But everyone

Rest assured, we will continue to monitor this in the future. Finally, thank you for watching today's financial forum. ”

With Zheng Yan's final nuclear bomb, today's financial forum has also ended, but the discussion in the outside world has just begun.

...

"Enron, fortunately, I listened to your opinion today and sold all the shares of Netscape, otherwise I am afraid that no one would dare to take over tomorrow. Thinking about today's events and the interview just now, Li Yanran was a little afraid.

"It's just luck, who would have thought that Zheng Yan would be so ruthless and leave a way for Netscape to live at all. ”

"That's what they deserve, they could have made some money safely, and then held out in the competition with Microsoft for a while longer, who let them find their own death?"

“...”

...

"You idiot, I told you a long time ago, don't talk nonsense in front of the media, but you just don't listen, what do you say now? I can now imagine what will happen to our stock after the NASDAQ opens tomorrow, needless to say, as long as it doesn't fall, I'm thankful. ”

After seeing the report, Jim Clark yelled at Mark Anderson.

"Jim, this... I can't blame all of this, you can also see that the reason why Zheng Yan was provoked was mainly because of John Doerr. "Mark Anderson really regretted it, because he was quick to speak, and it ended up causing so much trouble.

"Fart, do you think you don't have responsibility? The reason why Zheng Yan gambled on the future of Netscape is not because of you. If you don't provoke Zheng Yan, even if he is dissatisfied with John Doerr, he won't be involved in Netscape. ”

Seeing that Mark Anderson was still shirking responsibility, Jim Clark was even more angry.

"Then what do you say we should do..."

...

"Dür, you caused this matter, so let's talk about your thoughts first. ”

Jim Clark is anxious about what he is reporting, and John Doerr, as the person concerned, is also not easy. Because of Zheng Yan's war letter, KPCB's Kleiner, Perkins and Joyce held an emergency video conference.

"First of all, I want to be big

Home apologizes for causing so much trouble to the company for my personal reasons. As for Zheng Yan's offer, I personally tend to accept it. ”

"Before we first invested in Netscape, we had a careful discussion, and I don't need to say much about the results. Yesterday's Netscape listing has proven his potential, and as for Microsoft, I don't see any possibility of beating Netscape for now. ”

"I disagree. As soon as John Doerr's words fell, Perkins spoke: "According to what we know about Zheng Yan, although his investments are dangerous, they have all been successful, without exception, I don't believe that he will casually put forward a bet, and he must have relied on it." ”

"I agree with Dürr. As soon as Perkins finished speaking, Joyce spoke again, "As you know, I am a technician, and Netscape's browser has broadened the direction of computer development, and it can even be said that it has developed a whole new field of development. ”

"I can't imagine how much potential Netscape has at all. As for Microsoft, you should know that SUN has always been Microsoft's competitor, at least I haven't seen any progress in the browser, and it's impossible to develop a product that beats Netscape in a month, I can guarantee that. ”

"And one more thing, everyone does not forget, Zheng Yan is equivalent to making a bet in front of the world audience this time, which has forced us to the edge of the cliff, if we don't agree, KPCB's reputation for many years will be ruined, and we can't afford to pay this price. ”

"Do we want to give Zheng Yan a billion dollars for nothing? What is the reason? We founded KPCB to make money, not to be angry with Zheng Yan. Perkins yelled.

"As I said, no one can decide whether to win or lose. In addition, I don't know if you have ever thought that if we do not accept the bet, it is equivalent to transmitting a signal to the outside world that we have no confidence in the future of Netscape, in this case, do you think Netscape still has a future?"

"Don't forget, we just invested $600 million in Netscape, and I can guarantee that if we reject Zheng Yan's bet, this money will be lost. Of course, I also know that this is at least 400 million less than Zheng Yan's bet, but the nature is different. ”
