522 Visitors from Silicon Valley

As a party of bigwigs, it may be like this, and things that may be able to make ordinary people feel frightened will happen in casual chats, such as the previous mergers and acquisitions of the three major banks, and for example, Li Feng casually joked about General Electric.

If GE really intends to sell NBC, not only Li Feng will be interested, maybe several major banking groups or something, they will be interested, after all, this is the best quality asset, whether it is to increase assets or even sell them again or continue to operate, it is a good choice.

Of course, if you really enter the negotiations, it may give people the opportunity to speculate, such as acquiring the shares of two companies before the negotiations, and when the acquisition begins, the price of the two stocks will skyrocket, in short, it is difficult for ordinary people to make money, and it is really easy for those who participate in it to make money.

After a while, Li Feng not only brought Wu Jianmin to chat, including Xu Youyu and a group of financial talents under his own banner, but also said hello to several major financial consortiums in the United States.

Seeing that everyone was chatting about finance, the world economy, and even various financial gossip or something, Li Feng was not interested in joining in the fun, so he said hello to everyone and left the group temporarily.

"BOSS, I'm embarrassed to disturb you when I see you so busy, congratulations on going further!"

As soon as Li Feng turned to leave the crowd, and didn't take two steps, his own Internet helmsman, Eric Schmidt, came over with a smile to greet him.

"Haha... , Erik, thank you for your hard work!" Li Feng replied with a laugh after giving someone a warm hug.

"It's all good, BOSS, there are a lot of friends from Silicon Valley, don't go and see them!"

"Oh... , I haven't seen you for a while, who are all here, then let's go and meet them!"

"This way... , please!"

……

"John, you kid is finally willing to come over, I think if it weren't for Eric to call you, I guess you wouldn't have come to see our group of old friends!" Li Feng had just approached, and suddenly a joking complaint to Li Feng came.

"Wow... David, you are my closest relatives, as the closest person, shouldn't you trust me more, I naturally put you at the back, and it seems that you are my most important partner, right?"

The one who is making fun of Li Feng is his good friend, Yahoo's David Ferro.

"Come on, now that you're not coming to Silicon Valley, I thought you had completely forgotten about your career in Silicon Valley. ”

"David, don't make fun of John, if you want to keep talking like this, John will drive you away!"

"No, Jerry, I'm just reminding John!"

"Haha..."

It was Li Feng's good friend Yahoo, the two founders, who took the lead in joking with the two old friends, causing everyone to laugh.

"Welcome to Los Angeles, everyone!"

"John, long time no see!"

"John, you're really impressive!"

"We see your news every day in Silicon Valley, it's all front-page headlines, and our career development makes us jaw-dropping!"

“…”

……

Among the visitors, in addition to Eric Schmidt and the two founders of Yahoo and the two founders of Google, there are also several venture capital bigwigs such as Don Valentine and Doerr, as well as some Silicon Valley technology company bigwigs such as Intel and AOL.

"Jim, I've heard that Netscape has been having a hard time lately!" Li Feng joked with a smile to Jim Clark, the boss behind Netscape.

"yes, who knew Microsoft was so bad!" Jim Clark replied with a shrug and a helpless smile.

That's right, in the previous January, Netscape and Microsoft's Internet browser war finally ended, and Microsoft finally defeated Netscape with its bundling strategy, and naturally, Netscape's performance in the market and even the stock market was unsatisfactory.

Li Feng naturally knows that Netscape is destined to cross the sky like a meteor and open the door to the Internet era. Including the future of Yahoo, if there are no special circumstances, the future situation can be predicted.

"John, hello, we left the market early, we are miserable, the stocks are trapped in the stock market. Doerr, a Silicon Valley venture capital mogul, also quipped.

"I was lucky, I didn't have money at that time, I could only see that I made money and cashed out directly, it is still the reason why I am poor, which is also the benefit of being poor and poor, if I had a large amount of money in my hands at that time, maybe I also directly invested in Netscape and held shares until now. Li Feng responded with a modest smile.

"Hey... , It's too late to say anything, Microsoft is now facing an antitrust investigation, and when the time comes, we Netscape will testify in court, if it weren't for their bundling policy, Netscape wouldn't have been like this. Jim Clark said hatefully.

Obviously, in Jim's opinion, Microsoft is definitely the most hateful. As the saying goes, preventing people from getting rich is like killing their parents, Netscape is now performing poorly in the stock market, causing Jim's value to plummet, and it's no wonder that people don't hate Microsoft in their hearts.

……

Similarly, although Microsoft won the browser battle with Netscape, but as the so-called killing a thousand enemies and self-damage and eight hundred, although for Microsoft, the victory in the browser alone does not need to be to the extent of Microsoft's self-harm, but facing an anti-monopoly investigation, it is undoubtedly an unfriendly thing.

Since the bundling of IE browsers last year, in the face of Netscape's anti-monopoly complaints, the Department of Justice of the US imperialist government finally began to accuse Microsoft of monopolizing the operating system in October last year, arguing that it is illegal to bundle the browser with the operating system.

This is the first time Microsoft has faced antitrust charges, but unfortunately, such a case investigation is destined to be long, and Netscape will not survive that day.

Historically, the anti-monopoly case dragged on until after 2000, and finally Microsoft avoided the fate of being split due to antitrust through the above-mentioned means.

Similarly, Microsoft has also paid a lot of price for this, including Gates's resignation as president and CEO of Microsoft, and began to slowly cash out a large number of Microsoft shares, after all, Gates has 4 layers of shares in his hands, which is too much for large listed companies.

Faced with the predicament of Netscape today, everyone present had different thoughts, such as AOL's bigwig Steve Keys who was on the side at this time, who was secretly happy in his heart, and even began to play the idea of Netscape.

The historical Netscape was acquired by AOL not long after this year, of course, with the history of later generations, this is obviously a stinky game of chess, but now the reputation of Netscape is still very loud.

……

Say hello to people you know, and naturally it's still very lively.

"Without any such unpleasant things, John, I would like to introduce you to two new friends, the president and banker of Silicon Valley Bank, John Denny and Ken Wilcox. ”

When the greeting was over, Tang Valentine of Sequoia Capital changed the topic with a smile and helped Li Feng introduce the two relatively strangers next to him, but they were the two helmsmen of Silicon Valley Bank Financial Group.

"I've heard of Silicon Valley Bank, Dominic has talked to me about Silicon Valley Bank before, Danny, Ken, it's nice to meet you, but I will have to cooperate more in the future!" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Mr. John, should it be considered an honor or a bad luck for Silicon Valley Bank to be in your sights and targeted by your CSCB?"

"Haha... Danny, be careful!"

"John has his eye on you, I think you might as well merge directly into John's CSCB. ”

"Haha..."

Sure enough, with Li Feng's words to Silicon Valley Bank and the two helmsmen, it immediately caused a burst of jokes among everyone. However, perhaps everyone is joking, and they are secretly thinking in their hearts whether Li Feng, the miracle of American wealth, really has the intention of buying Silicon Valley Bank.
