Chapter 699: Rereading
In Silicon Valley, after being discharged from the hospital, Song Ya went to Netscape again, of course, and will not try to understand any programming languages anymore.
"I'm sorry, because a little hiccup on my side interrupted business."
He sat in the conference room alive, "Thank you for the flowers, I love it, Mr. Clark, Mr. Bucksd." β
"Recovered?" Bucksd looked at him.
"It's totally good, no problem, hehe." Song Ya patted his chest.
"Okay......"
After laughing at DTS's difficult road to listing again, Jim Clark directly asked the staff to distribute the documents, "APLUS, you know my style, since the sales situation of Netscape Browser Pro is very good, then I plan to continue to speed up the pace of listing, and advance the original listing date from September to August, August 9th." Outstanding shares accounting for 35% of the total share capital will be issued, and the issue price per share will be tentatively set at 10 to 12 meters. β
"Wow, at this price, our market capitalization will be ......"
Song Ya did the math in his heart, "About 900 million? I couldn't help but rejoice, according to my shareholding ratio after being compressed by these tradable shares, five percent is converted into more than three percent, then the original two million investment will be worth nearly 30 million by then. In fact, if you seriously calculate it, his shares may be less than three percent at that time, because Netscape gave some core employees incentive options in order to stabilize people's hearts during this critical period of development.
"Almost, the two months of June and July are at stake in our lives, and everyone has to start speculating constantly to enhance the confidence of investors and brokers."
Barksd pointed to Songya, "You have to take up your obligations too." β
"No problem, what are you going me to do? Bringing goods? β
"Bringing goods...... Almost, keep preaching the idea of our Netscape to the public, talk about it when you have the opportunity, repeat it, and maximize your public influence. β
Bacchus lost the document again, "The main thing is three points, first, Microsoft is wrong, the Internet represents the future, not a Windows operating system, the Internet can shorten the distance between people, speed up the speed of information exchange, you have to master all the relevant concepts, don't look foreign under the reporter's questions, we don't want investors to think that we have found an early shareholder who doesn't understand anything to enter the game." β
"I understand, don't worry, I'll memorize it all. The Internet represents the future, not a Windows operating system...... Uh, always grabbing Microsoft attacks, okay? They are strong......"
Song Ya asked, "It's a paradox, isn't it?" If our accusations against Microsoft are correct, aren't we helping them recognize their mistakes? If our accusations against Microsoft are wrong, how can we get the approval of investors? β
"Ugh."
Bacsd was asked for a moment, "Carry your back, big singer, this is a concept, it's propaganda and hype, you just need to know that repeated preaching is good for our listing and stock price." β
"Okay, okay."
Song Ya was very interested, and continued to read the document, "The second point is that the golden rule of Wall Street that companies must have a reliable track record of profitability is no longer suitable for today's new era, and investors must understand that in the early stage of the development of emerging industries, it is very important to maintain rapid growth and market share leadership, which is an extremely important strategic advantage." Netscape currently has a market share of 80 percent, which is ...... strategic advantage."
"Strategic advantage." Jim Clark is as emphasisant as a student in class.
"Well, that's right, strategic advantage...... Uh...... "Good students have another problem," can't our Pro browser sales make us profitable this year? β
"Yes, but that profit is not enough to support the stock price, and now the technology industry is full of hot money, programmer labor and investment in computer hardware and network equipment is high, and we have to make some strategic acquisitions to break through patent barriers......"
Bacsd explained, "Strategic, pay attention to the repeated mention of APLUS, we are the strategists at the forefront of the industry, what do those ordinary investors know?" Just wait for our commands. This point also shows where we will spend the funds raised from the open market, maintain our rapid growth and market share, maintain our technology and patent advantages, and as for profitability, we will always think of ways in the future, such as the third point. β
"Okay, maintain our rapid growth and market share, maintain our technology and patent advantages......"
Song Ya kept repeating, "The third point: the facts show that Netscape has two major opportunities, in addition to the Internet Internet, there is also the construction of the intranet of the enterprise, and the enterprise user spends much more money on the internal server than the ordinary user to buy the professional version of the browser...... Our alliance with companies like SUN will beat Wintel (an alliance between Microsoft and Intel) and PowerPC (an alliance of Apple, IBM, Motorola and Lotus Software) in this market......"
"Wow, we're so ambitious." Song Yaquan couldn't help but sigh after reciting it.
"Don't say that about APLUS, I've always been an industry leader and we just have a bright future......"
Jim Clark said domineeringly.
"Of course, I adore you, Mr. Clark, for creating the SGI...... Now it's Netscape again. Song Ya complimented.
"Hmm."
Jim Clark is now confident, "Is there anything else?" β
"Oh yes, there's one more thing, I'm going to prepare some more money to increase my holdings of some of our shares in the open market after listing, just deserve, just take the market, hehe, prevent, prevent the listing day from breaking (the stock falls below the issue price) or something, everyone looks bad on the face......"
Song Ya took the opportunity to put forward his plan.
"Yes, it also proves the confidence of our shareholders, remember to report to the board of directors and the governing body first."
Jim Clark stood up and pointed at Song Ya with his index finger to warn, "But be careful not to exceed five percent, if you do, you will be my enemy." β
"No, I'll buy a little, a little, hehe." Song Ya didn't want to have an enemy of this level (for the time being), "I didn't prepare too much money. β
It is true that he did not leave much money on August 9th, 10 million, and if calculated at the minimum issue price of 10 yuan per share, he would have bought 1 million shares, 1 percent of the total shares.
But he also spent a lot of money on SUN, 20 million, which has allowed O'Grady to start buying.
βAPLUSοΌ Can you talk about why you were hospitalized suddenly? β
Leaving Netscape headquarters, he was surrounded by reporters outside, of course, this was deliberate, according to his current bodyguard team, if he didn't want to, he would never be surrounded by reporters.
"Thank you for your concern, only slightly......" he replied loudly.
"But this isn't the first time you've been rushed to the hospital, has it? Are you taking medication or something? Another reporter asked.
"You all know that I never touch those things."
Song Ya glared at him.
"Or maybe you've had some mental blow at Netscape, and you own some shares in this company, right? Do you have any contradictions with them? β
"Nonsense, I have a lot of respect for Jim and Bacsde, and Mark and I have been in contact with UIUC for a long time, and our personal relationship is very good, and the cooperation is very smooth, and there is no conflict at all...... The company is going public in August, and Jim and I are both optimistic about Netscape's future. β
"What are your thoughts on the prospect of going public?" A reporter asked.
Song Ya glanced at him approvingly and began to repeat, "Obviously, the Internet, only the Internet represents the future, not some window, the Internet can shorten the distance between people...... Wall Street's golden rule is no longer fit for the times, and I think it's more important to have a strategic uh, strategic advantage than to be profitable...... There are two main development directions for Netscape in the future, Internet, and In...... Inβ¦β¦ Ahem, In......"
A little stuck, his face flushed slightly, "Intranet!" β
