It's a pity that Hong Tao doesn't have these experiences, and he won't write about these things in the book, and only after Hilde and Tangerine have vomited down did he remember that there was such a thing, and Eliza had mentioned it to him. Catching up with Hong Tao, a bold captain with two knives and thieves, is also considered unlucky for the two of them. Spit it out, it's already at the port anyway, and it's really not going to be a hospital.

Hilde and Tachibana were so bad that they were going to the hospital, and after resting on the dock for a while, they were finally able to be supported and barely walked. At this time, everyone packed up their things, closed the hatch, and went ashore together. Due to the drag of two sick numbers, Hong Tao did not pick any hotel grades, casually asked a staff on the dock, and stayed in a hotel not far from the dock, the room condition is okay, but a little old.

I have been drifting at sea for more than half a month, except that the big sun is the sea breeze, and I am very kind after seeing the land. Hong Tao opened three rooms and occupied one room by himself, with the only purpose of taking a hot shower quickly. Although there is fresh water on the boat, you can also bathe every day, but the feeling of taking a cold shower and a hot bath is definitely different. The hot water falls on any part of the body, and you can feel the body cheering involuntarily, and then it completely relaxes, which is cool!

After taking a bath, Hong Tao threw himself on the bed, regardless of whether the mattress was soft or hard, anyway, he felt that it was no better than the big bed worth more than $3,000 in the cabin, and he fell asleep in a few minutes. This sleep is really comfortable, Hong Tao has never slept so comfortably in his memory, when he woke up again. The bones of the whole body are loose, and the kabba makes a sound when you move.

"Damn, I've been asleep for ten hours!" I was going to relive my sleep in bed. But I saw that the hands on the watch were already pointing to 6 o'clock, not in the afternoon but in the early morning. Hong Tao immediately got up, picked up the phone on the bedside and began to dial the hotel's switchboard, and after talking to the operator, he took the phone and began to wait.

"Hey...... Feed...... You be louder, I can't hear you!" After about half a cigarette, Yulia's voice finally came out of the phone, and it sounded so far away, and it had a little ethereal smell.

"Oh, it's done. Shout and say...... I'm in Peru now, yesterday afternoon, and staying in a hotel called Pardore. People are still alive and well, so let's leave tomorrow...... Stop, stop, don't complain yet, it's out anyway, and then go back where to put my face!"

"Good, good. I promise that there will be no next time, and I will definitely take you with me next time. Let's talk about Netscape communication first, well, yes......" Hong Tao hugged the phone and returned to bed. lit a cigar and began to listen to Yulia's work report, which took more than half an hour before hanging up.

The situation with Netscape Communications is promising. At least that's what Yulia said. Although Ah Shan is mainly responsible for this project, he is the actual manager of Crystal Orchid Capital. In addition to keeping an eye on Yahoo's progress, Yulia also had to ask about Netscape's readiness to go public. According to what she said on the phone. Now the Netscape Navigator browser has been updated to the sixth official version, with a market share of more than 90%, basically all people who use computers, as long as they want to browse the web, they have to use the Netscape Navigator browser. Although the number of paying users accounts for less than 5% of the total number of users, the profit prospects and total profit are very impressive. In the previous months of various institutional evaluations, Netscape Communications' listing prospects are very clear, and it will officially submit a listing application to the Securities and Futures Commission from next month, and if it goes well, it will be able to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange around the end of July.

I have to talk about this Jim Clark, who is currently the CEO of Netscape Communications. He's such a long-sleeved guy who can not only work perfectly with Anderson, but also get between Joseph and Ah Shan, two completely different personalities. With his deposit, not only did the cooperation between Joseph and Ah Shan go more smoothly, but also avoided a lot of internal friction.

In addition, he also has a lot of credit on how to promote the Netscape Navigator software, almost all the university computer rooms in the West, there will be posters of Netscape Navigator in the computer room, and he also issued a reward notice in colleges and universities across the United States, encouraging students to catch insects for Netscape Navigator, and anyone who catches it will receive a gift from Netscape, a new photoelectric mouse released by Aigo!

This idea was originally proposed by Hong Tao, and after Ah Shan told Clarke, he immediately thought so, and then put Hong Tao's method into play, from the originally planned Stanford University university, directly promoted to several universities in the west, and in just three months, it was rolled out across the United States. Hong Tao admired his bold development ideas, and originally came up with his own ideas, but when he really did it, he and his ability were clear at a glance, and the difference was 108,000 miles. Therefore, in addition to this little memory after being reborn, he really has no advantage compared with people like Clark who can be successful in his previous life, which is also the key to why others succeed and why he is not successful.

Compared with Netscape Communications' soaring, Yahoo's resistance is a bit bigger. I don't know why, the venture capitalists on Dune Road were not very optimistic about Netscape Communications, but were very interested in Yahoo, a much later and smaller company. There are only a few venture capitalists who have contacted Netscape Communications, and after a little talk, it will be gone, and there is no interest in even talking about it. Since Yahoo was officially established and moved the server to the backyard of Crystal Orchid Capital, the number of visits to WÈN has risen by leaps and bounds, which immediately attracted the attention of several venture capitals, and then Yulia has fallen into various open and secret battles.

These big guys lined up to talk to Yulia about cooperation, and the general meaning was similar, that is, to persuade Yulia to give up the right to cooperate with Yahoo and sell it to them. Their reasons are similar, that is, to point out that Crystal Orchid Capital does not have the ability to operate Yahoo's listing alone, and it is barely able to achieve the best results. Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the hot cooperation power in your hands now and sell it at a good price.

The price they offered was really not low, and the most positive and powerful one was Sequoia Capital, whose offer was a full $50 million! This is basically ten times the amount of money that Crystal Orchid Capital has invested in Yahoo, and in just a few months, the investment has increased tenfold. And Sequoia Capital also promised that if the two sides can reach an agreement, then Crystal Orchid Capital will become a priority partner of Sequoia Capital in the future, to put it bluntly, people plan to take you to play together in the future, and you can also share some meat scraps when you eat meat.

But if you don't meet a reborn person like Hong Tao, in the face of this price and the benefits behind it, it is estimated that anyone will be overjoyed, sign the agreement in a hurry, and then follow the big crocodile of Sequoia Capital to comfortably pick up meat scraps to eat. It's a pity, they met such a freak as Hong Tao, let alone 50 million, and if you add a zero later, Hong Tao will not give this piece of fat to others, because he knows how fat this piece of meat is.

As for whether he had the appetite to swallow it all, Hong Tao decided to give it a try first. At present, there is no hurry, as long as it is delayed until Netscape Communications is listed, then Crystal Orchid Capital will not be a small little in the venture capital industry, and it will shock the whole United States and even the world overnight. At that time, even if you can't swallow the big fat meat of Yahoo, and then negotiate with a giant in the venture capital industry like Hongshan Capital, the other party's attitude will probably change accordingly, and it will no longer be a bone to fool around, and the real cooperation will continue to be negotiated at that time. In the end, Hong Tao will not care too much about the good and the bad, even if Yahoo is really played bad by himself and does not meet the best expectations, it doesn't matter! With Netscape Communication to the bottom, Hong Tao will have enough capital to squander, and then he will not be afraid of anyone, don't even think about getting involved in a dime less for himself!

"Don't just look at the shares in your hands, don't Yang Zhiyuan and Fei Luo still have shares in their hands! Although there is an agreement that binds us to have the right of first refusal, we should also talk to them more, stabilize their hearts, and make them believe that you and Crystal Orchid Capital have the ability to make Yahoo reach glory, whether they believe it or not, you must repeatedly emphasize this point to them! In addition, the negotiations of other venture capital companies should not be interrupted, and they should be held off slowly, at least until August. "Hong Tao really doesn't dare to underestimate these capital predators, if they really want to make trouble for Yahoo at will, the final result is really hard to say.

"Actually, if you are here, it is most appropriate for you to do this, but when you need it most, you take Radha on a trip around the world, this is very irresponsible, I protest!" Yulia was very angry, on the one hand, she was angry at Hong Tao's serious attitude, and on the other hand, she was angry at why Hong Tao took Radha out alone, instead of taking her! She felt that her status in Hong Tao's eyes seemed to have dropped by another place.

"Don't be angry, Rada doesn't have your ability, among these people, only you are the most comfortable in my business. Well, when I'm done with this voyage, I'll take you to your hometown, and by the way, it's our honeymoon, just the two of us!" Hong Tao knew very well where Yulia's anger came from, and now he had to follow her to say that if her feelings changed, it would probably ruin billions or even tens of billions of dollars.
