"Jerry, are you sure you want to meet the boss of Yanhuang Investment? You should know that the negotiation with Sequoia Capital is almost over, and this is really not the right time to make a difference. ”

"Have you ever thought that if the conditions offered by Yanhuang Investment are not as good as Sequoia Capital, and Sequoia Capital withdraws the financing from us because we have found Yanhuang Investment, we will be in a dilemma. If you want me to say, continuing to negotiate with Sequoia Capital is the safest way to go. ”

After receiving Jerry's notice, Yang Zhiyuan was very excited, but David Ferro was worried.

"David, you also heard Jerry's phone call just now, and it was Zheng Yan, the boss of Yanhuang Investment, who negotiated with us this time. We've heard about Bill Miller all the time, but have you heard anything about Zheng Yan other than a little bit from a few years ago?"

"Since Zheng Yan came in person, it shows that Yanhuang Investment attaches great importance to our company. Zheng Yan is very interested in the Internet industry, which many people know, which is why I asked Yanhuang to invest. Trust me, you won't be disappointed by the weekend meeting. ”

"Well, since you insist, then we'll meet. ”

Although David Ferro was full of worries, Yang Zhiyuan had no choice but to compromise.

...

"Zheng Yan, Liu Wei, why did you two come early? Didn't you say that there are still a few days left?"

After Larry Ellison received a call from Zheng Yan, he soon drove an unusually stylish sports car to the hotel where Zheng Yan was staying.

"It's nothing, it just so happens that Yanhuang Investment Company has some things that I need to deal with, so I came over in advance. ”

As for the reason for coming ahead of schedule, Zheng Yan mentioned it in one stroke, and he didn't mention anything about Yahoo. Zheng Yan believes that with Larry Ellison's sensitivity to the Internet industry and his own importance, as long as he mentions it, Larry Ellison will inevitably want a piece of the pie.

"Okay Larry, we're here to be San Francisco once, how are you going to entertain us?"

Liu Wei didn't know what Zheng Yan's idea was, and he didn't care, all he was thinking about was how to spend the next few days happily.

"Yes, Larry, you've always disliked me for not having much of a heart for entertaining guests, so don't let me down if you give me a chance. By the way, you call Steve again, I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

Originally, because of Larry Ellison, Zheng Yan and Jobs had established a good friendship, but because Zheng Yan had been in Hong Kong City for two years, the relationship between the two had become a little weaker. Zheng Yan came over this time, and placing Jobs was also one of his plans.

Originally, according to Larry Ellison's character, after hearing Zheng Yan's words, the normal reaction should be to belittle Zheng Yan and then take them out to have a crazy time, but this time he was surprisingly silent, which made Zheng Yan have this surprise.

"What's up Larry, is something going on?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's okay for me to take you out to play, it's just Steve... The situation of his company is not too good, I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to come out and play. ”

Larry Ellison's answer surprised Zheng Yan, although NEXT Computer Company is mediocre, but it is not so bad that Jobs is not even in the mood to meet friends.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Steve's company?

The time for Jobs to return to Apple is getting closer and closer, and Zheng Yan is worried about how to deepen the relationship, and it would be best if he could give him some help.

Strange to say, Steve's ability is impeccable, but since he left Apple, the development has not been very smooth in the years. ”

"You've been in Port City for the past few years, so you don't know much about him. The sales of computers produced by their company have not been very good, and they can't even be described as bad, they are simply terrible, basically producing one and losing one, so more than a year ago, he completely stopped this business. ”

Originally, this was nothing, Steve was good at the development of system programs, so since the hardware production stopped, he put all his energy into this, and the results came out, but the sales of system programs did not go well. ”

"Steve has developed a web program framework for generating dynamic web pages - WebObjects, I have seen this program, and it is indeed very good, but because the program is too complex, the price is naturally higher, probably because of the price, there are very few buyers. ”

Originally, their company also had an operating system called NEXTSTEP, but unfortunately this system only ran on the computers made by their company, and although Steve tried to make changes to adapt the system to any computer, it ended in failure, and now it is a decoration. ”

These things were disturbing enough, and what made them even more infuriating was that Steve's last partner had also withdrawn from the company not long ago. It's also strange to say that in the process of Steve's business, it seems that betraying him all the time is like a nightmare, and he can't get rid of it. ”

Larry Ellison was Jobs' best friend, and even though he knew that there was a problem with their company's products, he kept fighting for him.

Zheng Yan also has to admit that Jobs's life is indeed full of ups and downs, he was proud of his youth, and he was swept away by Apple not long after he was proud;

But Zheng Yan also noticed a piece of information, that is, the NEXTSTEP operating system that Larry Ellison said, Zheng Yan knew that it was this system that became the cornerstone of Apple's re-emergence, which made Zheng Yan have other thoughts.

"Okay Larry, don't complain here, I don't know if you think what happened to you just now. Believe me, Steve will return to Apple one day, and the current frustration is only temporary. ”

Zheng Yan didn't say this, but Larry Ellison was even more angry when he said this, "It's embarrassing for you to say, Steve talked to me about this some time ago, and joked that I hate that your prediction is true, but it's not so much a joke as a wry smile." ”

Zheng Yan didn't expect that because of his words, Larry Ellison pointed the finger at himself, "Okay, this matter is my fault." If you want me to say, you should contact Steve, maybe he wants to come out and relax. ”

This time, Larry Ellison didn't refuse, mainly because he knew that Zheng Yan had a lot of ideas, and maybe there was a way to solve Jobs.
