Reborn IT Giant

"Well, in that case, let's do what Mr. Henry wants. However, I also have to add a condition. As long as you agree, we can sign the contract now."

Hearing Zheng Yan's answer, Henry and Matthew Bruce suddenly felt relieved again.

"I wonder what conditions Mr. Zheng wants to add?"

Seeing the two people worrying about gains and losses, Zheng Yan couldn't help but feel funny and said: "Don't worry, you two, my request is very simple. I hope that the things we have reached can be kept secret for the time being and not disclosed to the outside world."

"In addition, there will definitely be other companies coming to buy commercial use rights. You can't tell them the truth for the time being. Instead, you have to drag them into negotiations. If possible, you'd better help me delay it for a few months."

"You also know that this browser needs to go through research and development before it can be put on the market, so I need a buffer time. I feel that my conditions are not too harsh, and there are no difficulties for you."

Not only is it not difficult, Zheng Yan's conditions are simply too simple, and Matthew Bruce and Henry are even a little unbelievable.

"Mr. Zheng, are you sure? Don't you need our help in developing and improving browsers?"

People are like this, if your conditions are too harsh, they will find it difficult; if your conditions are too simple, they will not believe you.

"Of course, you just need to agree to this condition. As for the subsequent research and development and improvement of the product, I have my own R&D team. Although it is not as good as your National Supercomputer Application Center, it can still complete these tasks without any problem."

Although Henry and Henry felt a little strange, the contract was drawn up by them and Zheng Yan had no way of manipulating it, so he signed a transfer contract with Zheng Yan.

After getting the contract, Zheng Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because of his chance encounter with Jim Clark, Zheng Yan invested in Netscape. Because Netscape made Zheng Yan think more, it was precisely because of this that this negotiation took place.

After signing the contract, Matthew Bruce and Henry were also very happy, especially Henry. Originally, the profit sharing was just his temporary idea, especially the 30% profit sharing.

He didn't have high hopes for the profit share, but he didn't expect Zheng Yan to agree so easily.

"Mr. Zheng, we will be partners from now on. How about celebrating together tonight?" Unlike yesterday's indifference, Henry's attitude towards Zheng Yan suddenly changed a lot as soon as the contract was signed.

"Forget it this time. I have just returned to the United States and there are still many things to deal with. We will go back to New York in the afternoon. If you two go to New York in the future, I will do my best to entertain you."

Zheng Yan knew in his heart that the high returns that Henry and the two wanted were destined to be missed, so he couldn't bear to let the two of them spend any more money and refused Henry's invitation without hesitation.

Henry didn't understand Zheng Yan's work style and believed Zheng Yan's excuse, so he didn't force it and left the hotel with Matthew Bruce. After the two left, Bill Miller, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

.

"Zheng Yan, why did you agree? You should know that they are taking advantage of the situation. Not to mention the 30% profit share, I think 10% is enough to satisfy their appetite."

Bill Miller didn't question Zheng Yan's decision, he just didn't understand it. According to past experience, Zheng Yan has never been a person who likes to suffer losses, but this time the other party's conditions clearly meant that he would suffer losses, and Zheng Yan still

Signed the contract happily.

"Bill, I admit that if we bring the Mosaic web browser to the market in the future, let alone reach the level of Netscape, even if we can get one-third of the market, we will suffer a big loss this time."

"But have you ever thought about what if I don't bring the browser to the market, but hide it? Or, in other words, I plan to open up the use of the browser for free on the Internet. Do you think they will increase the number of browsers?

Does the condition still make sense?”

"I know exactly what they have in mind. If I had known that their conditions were so simple, I wouldn't have had to make a special trip. Don't worry, Bill. Let them be happy for a while. There will be times when they cry in the future."

"this…"

Zheng Yan explained to Bill Miller the reason for agreeing to the other party's conditions, but Bill Miller became even more confused. Regardless of Zheng Yan's choice

Hiding the browser, or choosing to open the browser for free, are both harmful to others and to yourself.

If he chooses to hide it, the 20 million US dollars that Zheng Yan paid to Telescope Company will be in vain. Fortunately, Netscape becomes the invisible beneficiary, and Zheng Yan's loss will not be too serious. And Telescope Company will lose thousands of dollars.

Ten thousand US dollars is already a heavy loss for them.

If you choose to open it for free, more people will be affected. As far as Zheng Yan is concerned, not only will he lose 20 million US dollars, but even Netscape, the company he invested in, will be affected. As for the good telescope company that he can't win over,

It was no longer within his scope of consideration, and Bill Miller became more and more confused the more he thought about it.

"Okay Bill, just keep your heart in mind. Now we have spent 20 million US dollars, but this money will not be spent in vain. The 20 million US dollars will bring us great benefits, even I said it myself

I’m not sure, but I’m sure it’s definitely more than 200 million, and more than 2 billion.”

As long as Zheng Yan is involved in something, he always behaves confidently. Bill Miller is used to this, but he still doesn't like it.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. In the eyes of others, Bill Miller has always been a genius in the investment world, but as long as he works with Zheng Yan, he always feels that his brain is not enough. Just like this time, even if Zheng Yan

Yan explained to him but he couldn't understand either.

"Okay Zheng Yan, as long as you think about it clearly. Then where should we go next? Is it really like what you just said, we will return to New York in the afternoon?"

"Otherwise? Anyway, the matter has been dealt with. We will go back in the afternoon. When you get to New York, you should contact Ron Perelman immediately. I will meet with him tomorrow."

Zheng Yan had long been prepared to spend a lot of money to buy out the commercial use rights of the Mosaic web browser, but he did not expect that because of the greed and cleverness of the other party, it only cost 20 million US dollars, which was much lower than Zheng Yan's budget.

Originally, when it came to acquiring Marvel, Zheng Yan planned to find a way to get Marvel at the minimum cost because of his bad feelings about Ron Perelman. But because he was happy, Zheng Yan no longer wanted to do it for a little bit.

Small money is a waste of brains.
