(This chapter and the subsequent plot involving the Thirteen Knights need to be modified, and this setting is what I made up for a while, and the more I write, the more embarrassing it becomes, so it will be abolished.) ）

After meeting with Okashi, Zhang Chen fell silent.

American Capital Group, Berkeley, Black Rock, Fidelity, Schroders, Barings。。。。。。 Dozens of capital groups that control hundreds of billions or even trillions control the entire world's economy.

They cross-sharehold, diversify their investments, and design with layers of equity so that any corner of the world has their capital imprint.

After the reform and opening up, they also extended their tentacles to China. Fortunately, however, since China has not yet joined the WTO and has not yet liberalized its financial controls, it is impossible for them to fully enter their capital tentacles.

But time is running out, and in 2000, China will join the WTO anyway, and financial control will be gradually liberalized, and no one will be able to stop them from controlling China's economy.

In his previous life, Zhang Chen had read some financial reports. There are many articles pointing out that China's economic lifeline is controlled by foreign capital to a certain extent, and even food, which is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, is controlled by foreign industries such as DuPont and Monsanto.

But at that time, Zhang Chen, as a small white-collar worker in a foreign company, was only seen as a legendary story. Rothschild's rumors are so mysterious, aren't they also proven to be Song Hongbing's alarmists and fabrications in the end?

But is it really fabricated? Perhaps Rothschild's wealth is true, but the control of the world economy by the US capital group and the capital groups such as Fidelity, State Street, and Fidelity is real.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in his heart, for some reason, he had a premonition that sooner or later he would face these giant capital groups. At that time, will you be able to fight back?

"What are you thinking with a calm face?" Tang Miaomiao asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well?"

Zhang Chenqiang smiled: "No, I just feel a little tired." ”

Tang Miaomiao said with concern: "Look at you in the past six months, you first made an alien, and then opened a hot pot restaurant. It has only been more than ten days since he arrived in the United States, and he has opened a website and acquired a company. You're still young, you don't have to fight so hard. If you're tired, just rest and rest, how about I go out with you?"

Yes, I'm still young, there are so many opportunities in the future, and I'm a reborn, there will not be a second person in this world who sees the direction of the next twenty years as clearly as I do. In that case, what am I afraid of!?

Moreover, what about the capital groups that control the world economy? Unlike the American capital groups, they took advantage of the opportunity of the Great Depression in the United States in the thirties? Since they can, I can do more!

Since God has asked me to reincarnate Zhang Chen, it proves that I am the chosen one, so let me, the chosen one, challenge the economic order established by your Western world after World War II!

Of course, the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step. At present, I need to first lay a nail in the Western world, a nail that is completely my own. Gradually embezzle the benefits brought by the Internet and the future mobile Internet. At the same time, based on China's domestic foundation, we should grasp several key investment points to grasp and influence the flow of domestic wealth as much as possible, and improve China's economic stability. Only in this way, if one day you really start a head-on war with these giants, you can have a fight.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen felt a wave of pride in his heart. said to Tang Miaomiao seriously: "Teacher Tang, thank you." ”

Although Tang Miaomiao didn't know why Zhang Chen thanked herself, she clearly sensed the change in Zhang Chen's spirit and spirit for a moment.

Tang Miaomiao squinted and smiled: "Then think about it, when you are busy for the past few days, before the start of the Stanford summer school, where will we go to play." ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Zhuorui pouted and said, "It's okay for you guys, you can still go out to play." My tutor asked me to catch a paper these days, but I couldn't go. ”

Zhang Chen said, "I'm also going to finish the ICQ business," said Xiang Tang Miaomiao and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I may have to wait two days." ”

Soon, Zhang Chen received a return price from Netscape. Morgan Clark was taken aback when he saw Zhang Chen's offer of three million dollars, but more of a feeling ridiculous. It's true that Netscape wants to use this matter to hype, but $3 million is too much to take Netscape as a big deal.

So Morgan Clark personally made a phone call to Zhang Chen, and the two sides exchanged back and forth several times, and finally reached an agreement at a price of 1.75 million US dollars.

On the phone, Morgan had a hard time believing that he was confronted with a teenager under the age of eighteen. Zhang Chen grasped the weakness of Netscape every word, and knew everything about the predicament of Netscape that it currently seems to be cooking oil in a hot fire, but in fact it is overstretched, and some of his views are so sharp that even Morgan, an executive of Netscape, did not take into account.

In the end, Morgan sincerely said that one million of the $1.75 million was for Zhang Chen's consulting fees。。。。。。

Morgan made a report to the board of directors and awaited the board's approval to acquire the million-dollar website.

The next afternoon, the three-member ICQ plane arrived in San Francisco. Zhang Chen booked a hotel for the three of them in Silicon Valley, of course, it was only an express hotel that cost $50.

When he saw Zhang Chen at the airport, Viggs gave Zhang Chen a big hug.

After entering the hotel room, Zhang Chen first signed a check for $30,000 for Viggs as a settling-in fee, and asked them to find a house to live in Silicon Valley first.

After handing the check to Viggs, Zhang Chen said: "As for the follow-up investment of 400,000 US dollars, I am asking the lawyer to draw up an agreement, and I should be able to give you the agreement tomorrow." If you don't have an opinion, you can sign up. I will be able to give you a check on the same day as you sign the contract. ”

Viggs and the three looked at each other, not expecting the progress to be so fast.

Zhang Chen said again: "What stage has your development progress reached now?"

"Now that the development work is complete, it is ready to go live. ”

Zhang Chen said: "Okay, then go online as soon as possible, the sooner the better." I'll also have a CNN live interview in the near future, so it's best to go live in time for the live stream. As soon as our ICQ is unveiled, it will be able to win a certain amount of attention. ”

Goldfinger smiled: "Sir, don't worry, we will go to set up a server in the afternoon, in the initial stage, it is expected that 100,000 registered users will be enough, one set of servers is enough." ”

Zhang Chen shook his head and said, "No, we must increase the investment in the server." In the first month, at least 300,000 people are required to be online at the same time. ”

Viggs gasped, "Sir, 300,000 people? It's only the first month, how can there be so many registered users?"

Zhang Chen said calmly: "It won't necessarily be, but we have to be prepared for this." Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and if there are so many registered users and our servers are overwhelmed, the customer will feel bad. That's the only thing I ask of you – to do the best user experience. Don't worry about the cost, if the initial investment is insufficient, I will invest more. ”

Viggs and the others looked solemn, and it was only then that they had the feeling that what they were doing was not a small fight.

Zhang Chen patted Viggs on the shoulder, "Let's change the world." ”

The live interview with Roger was scheduled for Saturday afternoon, and Zhang Chen urged Okashi again, and Okashi swore that he would be able to get the agreement in order to send it to Zhang Chen's mailbox by noon tomorrow.

But just then, Morgan gave Zhang Chen bad news, and Netscape's board of directors vetoed the acquisition of the million-dollar website.

Morgan apologized over the phone: "Sorry, the board didn't approve it. ”

Zhang Chen was a little angry, wasn't this a trick, but he still asked politely: "Mr. Clark, what is the reason for the board of directors to change the price?"

Morgan denied: "No, it's not the price. Morgan hesitated, "As far as I know, it seems that there are people who don't want to see your website acquired, and all the investment companies in Silicon Valley have received emails. ”

Zhang Chen was surprised: "All investment companies have received emails, who can have such a big influence?"

Morgan hesitated and confided a name to Zhang Chen: "Steve Jobs." ”

Morgan explained, "You know, while not all companies are afraid of Jobs, more is better than less. In this matter, everyone does not see a huge amount of benefits, and it is natural to abandon this acquisition. Sorry. ”

Zhang Chen's anger surged upward, okay, Jobs, I respect you as a hero, but I didn't expect to use this method to suppress me.

Zhang Chen held back his anger and said, "I understand, Mr. Clark, thank you very much for telling me this." ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen sat on the chair and pondered for a long time, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Jobs, you think that with your influence in Silicon Valley, you can influence all companies not to buy my website. But the world has changed, and I want to thank you for the blocking, thank you for helping me expand my influence, hehe, wait and see.
