Rebirth

Chapter 873

As a party of big brothers, this may be the case. In the casual chat, things that may surprise ordinary people will happen, such as the previous mergers and acquisitions of the three major banks, or Li Feng's casual jokes General Electric.

If General Electric really intends to sell NBC, not only Li Feng is interested, but maybe several major banking groups will be interested or maybe. After all, this is the best quality asset, whether it is to increase assets or even sell again or continue to operate , Are good choices.

Of course, if you really enter into negotiations, it may give people a chance to speculate, such as acquiring the shares of two companies before the negotiation. When the acquisition starts, the prices of the two stocks will soar. In short, it is difficult for ordinary people to make money. And for those involved, it's really easy to make money.

After a while, Li Feng not only brought Wu Jianmin to chat, including Xu Youyu and a group of his own financial talents. He also said hello to several major financial consortia in the United States.

Seeing everyone chatting about finance, the world economy, and even various financial gossip, Li Feng didn't have the interest to join in the fun, so he greeted everyone and temporarily left the group.

"BOSS, looking at you so busy, I am embarrassed to disturb you, congratulations on taking further steps!"

As soon as Li Feng turned and left the crowd, he didn't take two steps. Eric Schmidt, the helm of the Internet, smiled and greeted him.

"Haha... Eric, thank you very much!" Li Feng replied with a big smile after giving them a warm hug.

"It's all very good, BOSS, many friends from Silicon Valley have come here, so I won't meet you!"

"Oh... I haven't seen you for a while, whoever has been here, then go see you!"

"this way please!"

...

"John, your kid is finally willing to come over. I think if it weren't for Eric to call you, I guess you wouldn't come to see our old friends!" Li Feng just approached and suddenly complained to Li Feng's jokes Came.

"Wow... David, you are my closest friends. As the closest people, you should trust me. I naturally put you at the end, and it seems that you are my most important partners. , Isn't it?"

It is his good friend David Filo of Yahoo who is teasing Li Feng.

"Come on, you don't come to Silicon Valley anymore. I thought you had completely forgotten your career in Silicon Valley."

"David, don't make fun of John. If you want to continue, John will drive you away!"

"No, Jerry, I'm just reminding John!"

"Haha..."

They were talking about the two founders of Li Feng's good friend Yahoo. Li Feng took the lead in joking with two old friends, which caused everyone to laugh.

"Everyone, welcome to Los Angeles!"

"John, long time no see!"

"John, you're really a good one to be admired for three days!"

"We see your news every day in Silicon Valley. They are all front-page headlines. The development of our career makes us stunned!"

"..."

...

Among the visitors, in addition to the two founders of Eric Schmidt, Yahoo, and the two founders of Google, there were also several venture capital leaders such as Don Valentine and Duerr, as well as Intel and AOL. Waiting for some Silicon Valley technology company bosses, etc., are some of the talkative friends that Li Feng had contacted before.

"Jim, I've heard that Netscape can't have a good time lately!" Li Feng smiled and joked at Netscape's behind-the-scenes boss Jim Clark.

"Yes, who knew that Microsoft was so shameless!" Jim Clark replied with a helpless smile with a shrug.

Yes, the previous January, the Internet browser war between Netscape and Microsoft finally ended. With the bundling strategy, Microsoft finally defeated Netscape. Naturally, Netscape's performance in the market and even the stock market was not satisfactory.

Li Feng naturally knew that Netscape was destined to cross the sky like a meteor, opening the door to the Internet era.Including Yahoo in the future, if there are no special circumstances, the future situation can be foreseen.

"John, it's hello. We left the market early before, and we are miserable. The stocks are all locked in the stock market." Durr, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, also replied jokingly.

"I was lucky. At that time, I didn’t have any money. I could only cash out what I had earned. In other words, it was because I was poor. This was also considered as the advantage of being poor. If I had a large sum of money in my hands. Perhaps I have also invested directly in Netscape and hold shares up to now.” Li Feng responded with a modest smile.

"Hey... it's too late to say anything. Microsoft is now facing an antitrust investigation. At that time, Netscape will testify in court. If it weren't for their bundling policy, Netscape would not have such a situation." Jim Clark hated.

Obviously, in Jim's view, Microsoft is absolutely the most hateful.As it is said that blocking people and getting rich is like killing parents, Netscape's poor performance in the stock market has caused Jim's worth to plummet. It's strange that people don't hate Microsoft.

...

Similarly, although Microsoft has won the battle with Netscape's browser, it is so-called killing one thousand and self-defeating 800. Although for Microsoft, the victory of the browser alone does not require Microsoft to self-injure 800, but Facing an antitrust investigation is undoubtedly an unfriendly thing.

Beginning with the bundling of Internet Explorer last year, in the face of Netscape’s antitrust complaints, the U.S. government’s Justice Department finally accused Microsoft of monopolizing the operating system in October last year, believing that the browser and the operating system were illegally bundled.

This is the first time Microsoft has faced antitrust accusations. Unfortunately, such investigations are bound to be lengthy, but Netscape will not be able to endure that day.

Historically, this anti-monopoly case dragged on until after 2000. In the end, Microsoft avoided the destiny of being split due to anti-monopoly through continuous measures such as the above.

Similarly, Microsoft has also paid a lot of price for this, including Gates resigned from the positions of Microsoft President and CEO, and began to slowly cash out a large number of Microsoft shares in his hands. After all, Gates holds 4-tier shares in his hands. For large listed companies That said, it is too much.

Faced with the current plight of Netscape, everyone present has different thoughts. For example, at this time, AOL tycoon Steve Case was secretly happy in his heart, and even started to think of Netscape.

The historical Netscape was this year, and it was acquired by AOL in a short time. Of course, the history of later generations proves that this is obviously a bad game, but the current Netscape reputation is still very strong.

...

It is naturally very lively to say hello to people I know.

"Don't talk about these unhappy things, John, let me introduce you two new friends. These two are the president and chief banking officer of Silicon Valley Bank, John Dean and Ken Wilcox."

When the greeting was over, Don Valentine from Sequoia Capital changed the subject with a smile and helped Li Feng introduce two relative strangers beside him, but they were the two helms of the Silicon Valley Bank Financial Group.

"Silicon Valley Bank? I have heard about it. Dominic also talked to me about Silicon Valley Bank before, Dean and Ken. I am glad to meet you, but I will cooperate more in the future!" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Mr. Li, nice to meet you!"

"Mr. John, Silicon Valley Bank is able to enter your line of sight and be targeted by your CSCB, should it be considered our honor or bad luck?"

"Haha... Dean, you have to be careful!"

"John is watching you, I think you should simply merge into John's CSCB."

"Haha..."

Sure enough, following Li Feng's words to Silicon Valley Bank and the two helms, it immediately caused a joke among everyone.However, perhaps everyone is joking, and they are also secretly wondering whether Li Feng, the American wealth miracle, really wants to buy Silicon Valley Bank.
