"Are you willing to sell us the Netscape Browser kernel source code?"

"Of course, as long as you can afford it."

"How much do you want?"

"Not much, a billion dollars."

"1 billion?"

Bill whispered, "That's too much." ”

"It's not much at all, the browser market is so big, the Netscape brand alone is worth a billion dollars. Not to mention, now the browser has become an important platform for Internet entrance, are you willing to let Netscape, Google, Sohu, once again take away the original market of your IE. ”

Bill was silent, he was considering.

After a while, he looked at Zhang Ning, "I'm thinking, Zhang Ning, you're not short of money, right?" ”

With that, Bill became even more affirmative.

Yes, Penguin has definitely been short of money lately.

Although Penguin Technology has developed rapidly recently, it has defeated many companies. However, there are not many profitable businesses in Penguin itself, only Penguin Games. It is really reluctant to rely on a penguin game to transfuse blood for many companies. Now, it's normal for them to be short of money at Penguin Technology.

"I hate to admit it, but I have to say, Bill, you can see it right, we're really short of money right now. However, it has nothing to do with whether I am short of money or not, whether I lack money or not, the Netscape browser kernel code is still in my hands. If you're not interested, Bill, then I can't help it. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ning stood up, meaning to leave.

"Wait."

"How?"

"Okay, we can cooperate, but $1 billion is a bit much, and we can only pay $800 million. You know, $800 million is not a small amount, and with $800 million, we can do a lot of things. Of course, if you exchange $800 million for Netscape Browser kernel code, it's worth it for us at Microsoft. ”

"I promise you, though, I have one condition."

"On what terms?"

"I want Ma Huateng."

"This ......"

Bill didn't immediately agree, "Ma Huateng has left Microsoft, why do you ask me for someone." ”

"I know, but he signed a ban agreement with you, and I don't want you to be embarrassed."

"You want Ma Huateng to go to Penguin Technology and help you manage QQ."

"Can't you?"

"Yes, yes, but, do you think Ma Huateng will agree, he was your opponent before."

"It's my business whether I agree or not, I just don't know if Bill will let go of Ma Huateng."

"Well, in fact, after Ma Huateng left Microsoft, I already knew that it was impossible for him to return to our Microsoft. However, I also have one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"Within three years, QQ will not be allowed to enter the North American market."

"Deal."

……

Guangdong Shencheng.

"Pony, you've been resting for months, are you going to rest all the time?"

Zeng Liqing and Zhang Zhidong found Ma Huateng and wanted him to start other projects together.

"What can I do without a break, I have a lockdown agreement with Microsoft and can't work in instant messaging."

"Oh, pony, you're stupid, you can't do instant messaging and you didn't say you can't do other Internet business. Now that online games are so popular, ponies, why don't we get into online games and make a profit. ”

Zeng Liqing was a little anxious and persuaded Ma Huateng.

"I'm not interested in online games."

Ma Huateng shook his head.

"Furthermore, I think that no matter how popular online games are, no matter how profitable they are now, there are still limitations. Even, in the future, it is possible to be defeated by other giants, and the one I am most interested in is the instant messaging market. ”

"You, pony, why can't you turn the corner. I'm also very bullish on instant messaging, but the problem is, you can't get into this business right now. Second, in China, we can't do anything with Penguin Technology. What's the use of being optimistic? ”

Zeng Liqing is an impatient, if he wants to stay for a few months and do nothing, he must be crazy.

"Pony, are you waiting for news from the moving side?"

Zhang Zhidong, who was sitting on the side, asked at this time.

"Mobile wanted to get into instant messaging, and we were invited at that time. I'm not interested in moving, though. Moreover, there are too many restrictions on state-owned enterprises like mobile, and I don't want to enter the state unit. ”

"Then you are ......"

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Waiting for whom?"

"Zhang Ning."

"Zhang Ning?"

Zeng Liqing thought he had misheard, "Xiaoma, are you funny, wait for Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning is our competitor, what are you waiting for him to do?" ”

"Yes, pony, why are you waiting for Zhang Ning?"

Zhang Zhidong also said.

"Li Qing, I had a contract with Zhang Ning back then, if anyone fails, he will join the other company. I don't want to admit it, but we did fail. Not only did we penguins fail, but so did I when I took over MSN. ”

"No, Pony, we didn't fail at all, when we took over MSN, although we didn't open the market in China, we opened up the global MSN market, and beat ICQ to become the world's largest instant messaging. No matter how powerful Penguin Tech is, their QQ can't compare to the MSN you took over at that time. ”

"Li Qing, I know. But failure is failure, and we are still inferior to Zhang Ning in the domestic market that we are most interested in. ”

"But, pony, what's the use of waiting for him. Are you so sure that Zhang Ning will come to you, or will you ask you to take over their QQ. Don't you forget jì, we fought with Zhang Ning to the death, and he has such a big belly to invite you over? ”

Although Zeng Liqing also thinks that Zhang Ning is very good, he is not optimistic about Zhang Ning's belly.

Look at the companies that compete with them, all of them are driven bankrupt by their penguins.

Even Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu forced him to resign from the company, and now he doesn't know where to fight the autumn breeze.

What kind of belly can such a person have?

"Yes, pony, if Zhang Ning wanted to invite you, he invited you as soon as you resigned, why don't you come now. You're going to wait, waiting until when? The market is not waiting for you now, we don't enter the online game now, and there is really no chance in the future. ”

Zhang Zhidong is also anxious, and he is also eager to start a business again and make a double achievement.

"Two, I've decided. If you can't wait, do it first. ”

Ma Huateng is a gentleman, but he can be the boss of Zeng Li Qing and Zhang Zhidong, and he has his own prestige. When this sentence was opened, the two changed color, and Zeng Liqing was the first to say, "Then how can it be done, if we say it, we will do it together, or if we don't do it, then leave together, how can we be separated." Or would you think about it again? ”

Zeng Liqing felt that talking to Zhang Zhidong today was a little too much, and said apologetically.

"yes, pony, how do you say something like that. In this way, you think about it again, and we will wait for your words. In short, as Li Qing said, if you want to do it, you can do it together, how can you be separated. ”

Zhang Zhidong also felt that he was too forced today, so he took a step back and said.

However, at this moment, the office where the three people were located broke into one person. I saw him look at the three of them, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he heard what they said just now, and said directly, "Don't wait any longer, let's all come to the penguins together." ”
