"Daddy Farr, please help us draw up an investment contract on the terms just mentioned, and I will sign a contract with Mr. Jim Clark at once. Jia Lei glanced at the time and immediately said, Jim Clark couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Isn't it a little too hasty for you to sign now? We've just talked about the investment, and I haven't even had time to tell Anderson and the rest of the company about it. It's better to wait until tomorrow to talk about the signing!" said Jim Clark, frowning.

You must know that Mark Anderson is the real inventor of this software and the vice president of the company, and Jim Clark must have asked his opinion on such a big matter of financing.

"It's okay! It's lunchtime, and I can ask Mr. Mark Anderson to go with you to a nearby restaurant for a meal, and then the three of us can sit down and discuss my stake in your Mosaic Company. Jia Lei retorted with a smile that now that time is urgent, he really doesn't have time to continue procrastinating.

"That's fine...... Jim Clark thought about it for a while before nodding and saying that he thought it would be better to pull Mark Anderson and the three of them to discuss such a big matter.

"Daddy Farr, you stay and continue to draw up the contract, and I'll be back in a moment. Before leaving, Jia Lei told Farr's father that he was confident that he would be able to persuade the two to let him take a stake in Netscape.

"Anderson, come out with me, I have something to look for you. Jim Clark took Jia Lei to Mark Anderson and said, and then Jia Lei saw a disheveled IT ape who seemed to have been staying up for several days and nights in a row.

"What are you looking for from me? I'm working right now and I don't have time to go out, so just talk about it here." Mark Anderson stared at the screen and continued to work, Jia Lei looked at the fingers he was programming on the keyboard as if they were dancing out of the afterimage.

"Even if you have more work to do, you always have to eat, right? I really have something important to talk to you about this time, so you can go out with me and talk while you eat." Jim Clark looked at Mark Anderson with a headache, and then he couldn't help but pull Mark Anderson out of his chair.

"Let me go, I still have some code to change!Our new software will be released in the afternoon, why can't you wait until the software is released?" Marc Anderson complained unhappily, most of them IT engineers are workaholics.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't wait for your software to be released before talking about investment, and I ask for your understanding. After all, I'm afraid that your company's stock price will rise after your software is released!" Jia Lei replied for Jim Clark with a smile.

"Are you kidding?

Our company's newly developed software is a completely free commodity, and our company's stock price will not rise even after it is released.

Our company's stock is listed by Wall Street as one of the companies without any investment value, are you still worried about the price increase of our company's stock?" Mark Anderson looked at Jia Lei in disbelief and asked, he felt that Jia Lei was either a liar or a fool.

"Hmm...... Who told you that you can't make money from free software? God, are you all so simple? If it were me, I would have at least 100 ways to make money with it!" Jia Lei asked in disbelief after hearing Mark Anderson's words, 30 years later, everyone knows that traffic on the Internet equals money.

"Do you have a way to turn the browser software we release for free on the Internet into a money-making project?" Mark Anderson asked after hearing Jia Lei's words, and even Jim Clark next to him looked at Jia Lei anxiously when he heard this.

"Of course I have a way to make it money, otherwise why would I invest such a large sum of $3.5 million in your company!" Jia Lei couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, he wouldn't do a loss-making business.

"Do you really have a way for us to make money on the Internet? You know, everything on the Internet is free now, and no company has ever made money on the Internet. Jim Clark looked at Jia Lei anxiously and asked.

"Of course I have a solution, but I can't say it right now, and I won't tell you what I think until our contract is signed. You must know that the idea of making money is a golden idea, why should I give it to you for nothing?" Jia Lei said with a confident smile, he finally pulled back one in this negotiation.

Jia Lei has all kinds of Internet money methods in his hands after 30 years, and he is ready to use these things as bargaining chips to negotiate with the two founders of Netscape.

"What did you say about shareholding? Why didn't I know about this?"

"This matter was just negotiated between me and Young Master Jia Lei, and the reason why I came to you this time is to ask your opinion on Jia Lei's shareholding in our company.

Let's go, let's eat and talk in the dining room downstairs!" said Jim Clark, as Mark Anderson said.

"Since it's such a big deal, I'll go out and talk to you first!, but I hope we should talk about it quickly, I'm putting the finishing touches on the software, and I really don't have much time to waste right now. Mark Anderson frowned and said that he was really busy right now.

"Don't worry, as long as you agree to my conditions, this matter will be resolved soon!" Jia Lei said with a smile, and then the three of them came to a nearby restaurant.

"Tell me, what can you do to make our browser profitable?" asked Mark Anderson as soon as he sat down.

"I'm sorry, I refused to disclose any ways to make money before signing the contract! Because these things have no intellectual property rights, what if you get this news and find out that your company can make a lot of money, and then dump me?" Jia Lei stared at Mark Anderson and asked, and the other party immediately understood what Jia Lei meant.

"You want to invest in our company because you have a way to make money with our company's browser, right?" asked Mark Anderson, scratching his hair.

"Yes! That's it. Jia Lei nodded and said.

"I don't have a problem with you wanting to take a stake in our company, because I don't invest a penny in this company, at most I am a part-time worker.

Jim Clark is the largest shareholder and boss of the company, and I wouldn't object if he agrees.

After all, our company really doesn't have 100% certainty that we can make money on newly developed browsers, and we have been losing money since the first day of the company's opening......

As long as you can help us make money, you can do whatever you want!" Mark Anderson looked at Jia Lei and replied, his words were definitely from the heart.

"You said that you don't have 100% certainty to make money, so how sure did you make money before?" Jia Lei asked curiously when he heard this, listening to what Mark Anderson meant, they seemed to have found a way to make money.

"We were only 50 percent sure we would be profitable, otherwise I wouldn't have paid 13 to start this online company. Jim Clark replied that he had invested nearly $5 million in the company over the course of the year.

"Can you tell me what your method of making money is? I'm afraid our idea will collide, lest you think I'm stealing your idea. Jia Lei asked curiously.

Because Jia Lei was reborn after 30 years, he naturally knew how to make money on the Internet with free browsers and traffic, but he couldn't imagine how this Jim Clark native thought of making money on the completely free TER Internet at that time.

"I thought a lot about it before I started my second business, and then I thought that the Internet should have its own profit model.

For example, I can license various companies that use our web browsers, like a phone company, and we can find a way to make money as soon as we have more users.

After all, there was no way to make money when the world's first phone was launched, but when the number of telephones gradually increased around the world, could telecommunications companies make money? Jim Clark laughed and said that's why he went to school to dig up Mark Anderson and start a business with himself.

"Yes! Clark told me that when our company has more customers in the future, we can charge browser users the same way that telcos charge for phone calls. Mark Anderson nodded.

"That's a good idea!" Jia Lei nodded approvingly, this is almost the common charging model for all software in the future.

"What? Why do I think you have some disdain for my attention? Could it be that you think I have a bad idea?" asked Jim Clark, staring at Jia Lei.

"It's a good idea of yours, but there are still places that are not well thought out!" Jia Lei said with a smile.

"Oh, where do you think we're not very thoughtful?" asked Jim Clark.

"If you charge all users now, there's a good chance they won't even consider downloading your browser.

After all, everything on the Internet is now free, including Mr. Anderson's OSAI browser developed at the University of Illinois.

If you charge now, there's a good chance that people will abandon your company's new product and still use the free version of the University of Illinois. Jia Lei gave them an analysis.

"What do we do?" asked Mark Anderson anxiously, he was still a penniless poor boy and of course he was in a hurry to make money.

"Huh...... Do you want to know my solution? Then sign the contract with me first, and as soon as I become a shareholder of your company, I will definitely tell me how to make money. Jia Lei said with a smile, and Mark Anderson immediately looked at Jim Clark when he heard this.

"Okay, let's sign a contract with you, and we'll sign it right away!" said Jim Clark, nodding helplessly in agreement.

Since Jia Lei can see the loopholes in their plan at a glance, then Jia Lei must have a way to help them plug the loopholes.
