082 The Internet Tide Finally Starts (It's the Weekend, Ask for Support)
"Bell bell bell bell ......"
The exciting phone ringing interrupted everyone's celebration and chat, and at this time, Li Feng and the others were cheering, eating by the way.
"Hello, this is St. John Lee, who is it?"
"Oh my God, Your Highness the Holy Son, Netscape is listed, the stock price is soaring, you have made a fortune, come and treat yourself. "Okay, as soon as Li Feng answered the phone, David Ferro's scream came from the other side of the phone.
"Hahahaha......"
"David, can you be a little more reserved, be calm and calm, you know?" Okay, Yang Zhiyuan's joke came again.
"Okay, okay, it's a pity, I knew that I also invested in Netscape stocks at the beginning, or I would have made a fortune now. ”
"Okay, don't mumble that anymore, Li Feng, congratulations to you this time, it seems that you have a good vision, and Netscape is very successful." Yang Zhiyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
......
"Haha, I've won prizes, I'm lucky, anyway, thanks to Yahoo, if I didn't have Yahoo, where would I get the money to seize this opportunity.
And, I think we should be more confident in the future, and in my opinion, Yahoo is ten times stronger than Netscape. ”
"Yes, today's listing of Netscape has made our entire company very excited, and they are all talking about the listing of Internet companies, which is very beneficial to the development of Yahoo, and everyone's passion and enthusiasm are very hot. ”
"Hehe, that's not the best. Okay, let's not talk about it, another call has come in, next time I'll go to Silicon Valley to invite you to dinner, David, wait for me. ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and immediately connected the phone again.
"Wow, new Mr. Billionaire, you're finally answering the phone, it's busy. ”
"Haha... Kenny, thank you, good luck. ”
"Okay, boy, I won't bother you, I guess you're busy on the phone, next time you're going to treat me to a big dinner. With that, he hung up the phone again.
Well, next, Sequoia Capital's call also came in, and the two kings of venture capital jokingly thanked Li Feng and let them also buy Netscape shares, which skyrocketed several times in a short period of time.
......
After the meal, with the departure of the logistics support personnel, Charles took Li Feng and others to take a good turn around the entire trading room, which can be regarded as an eye-opener for Li Feng, a native bun in his previous life.
There are also many small rooms around the trading room, which are used for the traders to rest, a small room with a bed and a small washroom, and a TV hanging on the wall.
also prepared a small room for Li Feng, which was slightly larger than the others', which was considered a privilege. Similarly, Charles also has a room about the same size as Li Feng.
According to Charles, there are several such trading rooms, this one is small, and some trading rooms need dozens or hundreds of people, so they need a large area.
As for the logistics of the staff, there are also special personnel to ensure it, including food and drink, laundry, etc., anyway, all the staff will be there until the end of the operation, and they must not leave.
Li Feng also knew that for at least a few days, his own stock would not move, as long as he watched, and then asked everyone who came with him to go back first, leaving Bob alone.
Before you know it, it's 4 p.m., and the Nasdaq stock market has ended its day's opening.
......
"Mr. Li, judging from today's one-day Netscape stocks, Netscape's IPO was very successful, closing at $58.25, twice the issue price.
And the stocks traded are still very good, obviously everyone is very optimistic about Netscape's stock price, and it is estimated that in the next few days, Netscape's stock price will rise. ”
"Hehe, Charles, then I hope to borrow your auspicious words, but Charles I think it's time to need your Citi, I hope you can pay attention to Microsoft's actions, I think Microsoft will definitely have actions next. ”
"Oh, Microsoft?" Charles heard Li Feng's words, and then said suspiciously.
"Haha, Charles, you're not an Internet practitioner, it's normal not to know.
In fact, as early as a few months ago, almost in June, Microsoft sent someone to Netscape, saying that it was going to be acquired, but Netscape refused.
Browsers, as an entry point to the Internet, are basically dominated by Netscape at the moment, and you say that as a computer operating system manufacturer, wouldn't it be clear what this means, not to mention that Netscape is currently so popular after it went public. ”
"I see, you mean that Microsoft will never allow the browser market to be exclusive to Netscape, and it will launch its own browser. ”
......
"That's for sure, in fact, any enterprise that has to the Internet, it is estimated that they will launch their own browsers in the future, after all, as long as you need to surf the Internet, you need a browser, isn't it, the future browser market must be a hundred different people.
Of course, I'm more optimistic about Microsoft, after all, they have their own operating system, and computers always have to install an operating system, don't they, and if they bind the operating system to the browser, do you say they have an innate advantage? ”
"What do you mean, I see, you need us Citi to listen to the news, you need to know exactly when Microsoft is going to launch the browser, and then before Microsoft launches the browser, you need to cash out your Netscape stock in advance, right?"
"Hehe, Charles, it's good if you understand, I want to hear such news, for a large group like Citigroup, it shouldn't be difficult, and for Microsoft to launch its own browser, it's actually not a high level of secrecy. ”
"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll contact you, Mr. Li, you're so shrewd, you really don't look like a 15-year-old boy. Charles Enrique then said with a smile.
......
Li Feng thought to himself, if he didn't know the specific time when Microsoft launched the browser, then what would you do with Citi.
Yes, although Li Feng knows that Microsoft will soon launch the 95 system and Internet Explorer, he does not know the specific time.
Anyway, when 95 was launched in his previous life, Li Feng was still playing in the mud in the ravine, and later came into contact with computers and the Internet, although many systems are still 95, but the latest ones are 98.
Besides, it's okay to use it.,Where do you have the heart to pay attention to when 95 will be launched.,Anyway, I know that the 95 system should be launched in 95.,Just do it.。 It can only trouble Citigroup, after all, it is easy for these big conglomerates to inquire about such news.
What Li Feng didn't know was that before Charles went out to arrange to hear the news, he went to the general manager's office at Citi Center.
......
To be honest, Li Feng still underestimated his influence a little, and the billionaires at this time were no less than the 1 billion level in later generations, or even more.
You must know that Bill Gates, the richest man on the Forbes wealth list in July, had a wealth of just over 10 billion, while Gates's Microsoft shares accounted for about 40%.
In the future generations of Gates, Microsoft shares will cash out some every year, cash out for more than 10 or 20 years, inject their two husbands and wives into their own charitable funds, to Li Feng's rebirth, Gates still relies on Microsoft's more than 10% of the shares to dominate the wealth list for a long time.
According to Li Feng's estimates, the part of the wealth that is cashed out every year is estimated to be no less than the value of Microsoft's shares, or even exceeded, after all, the cashed out charity funds are investing in various ways for a long time.
If these 40% shares have been held, with the market value of Microsoft of 5 or 600 billion in later generations, Gates's wealth will be even more exaggerated.
It can be said that there is still a lot of water in the annual wealth list, for example, the Gates' charitable fund will not be included in his wealth, after all, it has been donated nominally.
Originally, this part of the wealth needed to pay a huge amount of personal income tax and other taxes, but Gates donated all of it to the charity fund under his name, and as a result, he didn't have to pay any taxes, and he also won a huge reputation.
In fact, the wealth in the charitable fund is still under the control of the Gates, which is actually a common phenomenon of wealth transfer in Europe and the United States, after all, the inheritance tax is a bit exaggerated, and through such operations, you can avoid huge taxes of all kinds.
Of course, there is no shortage of real charity, but after all, it is a minority, most of the rich are actually the same, no one is willing to give away all the wealth accumulated in their lives or pay taxes after death, which is also one of the reasons why various charitable funds in Europe and the United States are rampant.
......
After learning about Li Feng's performance in the trading room throughout the day, the manager of Citi Center in Los Angeles also had a huge curiosity about Li Feng, and immediately instructed Charles to learn about Microsoft according to what Li Feng said.
Similarly, Li Feng was standing in the trading room of the Citi Center at this time, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside, and his heart was not calm.
I silently said in my heart, "The Internet tide has finally begun."
