Chapter 74

"Ringling, Ringling..."

The exciting phone ring interrupted the celebration and chatting of the people. At this time, Li Feng and the people were cheering and eating.

"Hello, this is St. John Lee, who?"

"My God, your highness son, Netscape is listed and the share price is soaring. You're rich. Come and treat." Well, as soon as Li Feng got on the phone, David Ferrero screamed across the phone.

"Ha ha ha..."

"David, can you be reserved and calm down, you know?" Well, there's another joke from Yang Zhiyuan.

"Well, well, what a pity. I knew I had invested in Netscape stocks, or I would be rich now."

"Well, stop mumbling, Li Feng. I really congratulate you this time. It seems that you have a good eye. Netscape listing is very successful." Yang Zhiyuan's voice came from one end of the phone.

......

"Ha ha, I'm flattered. I'm lucky. Anyway, thanks to Yahoo. Without Yahoo, I wouldn't have the money to seize this opportunity.

Moreover, I think we should be more confident next. In my opinion, Yahoo is ten times stronger than Netscape. "

"Yes, today's listing of Netscape makes people in our whole company very excited. They are talking about the listing of Internet companies, which is very beneficial to the development of Yahoo. Everyone's passion and enthusiasm are very hot."

"Hehe, that's not the best. Well, no more, there's a phone coming in again. Next time I'll invite you to a big meal in Silicon Valley. David, wait for me. "

After that, he hung up and connected the phone again.

"Wow, Mr. new billionaire, you finally answered the phone. The phone is really busy."

"Ha ha... Kenny, thank you. Good luck."

"Well, boy, I won't bother you. It's estimated that you're busy on the phone. You'll invite me to a big meal next time." Then he hung up again.

Well, next, Sequoia Capital's phone also came in. The two venture capital kings jokingly thanked Li Feng for letting them also buy Netscape shares, which soared several times in a short time.

......

After dinner, with the departure of the logistics support personnel, Charles took Li Feng and others around the whole trading room, which also opened Li Feng's eyes.

There are many small rooms around the trading room, which are for the trading hands to rest. There is a bed and a small washing room in a small room, and a TV is hung on the wall.

He also prepared a small room for Li Feng, which is a little bigger than others. It is a privilege. Similarly, Charles also has a room about the size of Li Feng.

According to Charles, there are several such trading rooms. This one is small. Some trading rooms need dozens or hundreds of people, which requires a large area.

As for the logistics of the staff, there is also special human support, including food and drink, washing clothes, etc. anyway, all the staff will be there and can't leave until the end of the trading.

Li Feng also knew that his stock would not move for at least a few days. He just looked at it. Then he asked everyone who followed him to go back first and left Bob alone.

Unknowingly, at 4 p.m., the Nasdaq stock market ended its opening day.

......

"Mr. Li, from today's Netscape stock, Netscape's IPO was very successful, closing at $58.25, twice the issue price.

And the stocks traded are still very good. Obviously, everyone is optimistic about Netscape's share price. It is estimated that Netscape's share price will rise in the next few days. "

"Hehe, Charles, I hope to borrow your kind words, but Charles, I think it's time for you to Citi. I hope you can pay attention to Microsoft's actions. I think Microsoft will have actions next."

"Oh, Microsoft?" Charles heard Li Feng's words and said in doubt.

"Ha ha, Charles, you're not an Internet practitioner. It's normal not to know.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, almost in June, Microsoft sent someone to netscape to say it was going to buy, but it was rejected by Netscape.

As the entrance to the Internet, the browser is basically dominated by Netscape. As a computer operating system manufacturer, you don't know what this means, not to mention that Netscape is so popular after it goes public. "

"I see. You mean that Microsoft will never allow Netscape to specialize in the browser market and launch its own browser."

......

"That's for sure. In fact, any enterprise that is interested in the Internet is expected to launch its own browser in the future. After all, as long as it needs to surf the Internet, it needs a browser, isn't it? There will be a hundred different browser markets in the future.

Of course, I'm more optimistic about Microsoft. After all, they have their own operating system. Computers always have to install the operating system, don't they? Moreover, if they bind the operating system to the browser, do you think they have an inherent advantage? "

"I understand what you mean. You need Citigroup to inquire about the news. You need to know exactly when Microsoft will launch the browser, and then cash out your Netscape stock in advance before Microsoft launches the browser, right?"

"Oh, Charles, it's good if you can understand. I want to inquire about such news. It should not be difficult for a large group such as Citigroup, and it's not a high-level confidentiality for Microsoft to launch its own browser."

"OK, Mr. Li, I'll contact you now. Mr. Li, you're so smart. You don't look like a 15-year-old." Charles Enrique said with a smile.

......

Li Feng thought, if he didn't know the specific time when Microsoft launched the browser, what would it take you to do.

Yes, although Li Feng knows that Microsoft will soon launch 95 system and IE browser, he doesn't know the specific time.

Anyway, when Li Feng launched 95 in his previous life, he was still playing with mud in the gully. Later, he came into contact with computers and the Internet. Although many systems were still 95, the latest ones appeared 98.

Besides, it's OK to use it. Where do you have the mind to pay attention to when 95 was launched? Anyway, it's OK to know that 95 system should be launched in 95. Citigroup can only be bothered. After all, it is easy for these large consortia to inquire about such news.

What Li Feng didn't know was that Charles went to the general manager's office of Citigroup Center before he went out to arrange for information.

......

To tell the truth, Li Feng still underestimates his influence. At this time, billionaires are no less than 1 billion or more in future generations.

You know, in July, Bill Gates, the richest man on the Forbes wealth list, had only a fortune of more than 10 billion, while Gates's Microsoft shares accounted for about 40%.

Later generations of gates, Microsoft shares will be cashed out every year. They have been cashed out for more than 10 years and 20 years and injected into their own charity fund. At the rebirth of Li Feng, gates still dominates the wealth list for a long time with more than 10% shares of Microsoft.

According to Li Feng's estimation, this part of wealth cashed out every year alone is estimated to be no less than the value of Microsoft's shares, or even more. After all, the cashed out charitable funds are investing in all kinds of long-term investments.

If the 40% shares were held all the time, Gates' wealth would be even more exaggerated with the market value of 500 billion or 600 billion of Microsoft in the future.

It can be said that there is still a lot of water in the annual wealth list. For example, the Gates' charity fund will not be included in his wealth. After all, it has been donated nominally.

Originally, this part of wealth needed to pay huge personal income tax and other taxes. As a result, gates donated all his moves to his charitable fund. As a result, he didn't have to pay any tax and won a great reputation.

In fact, the wealth in charitable funds is still under the control of Mr. and Mrs. gates, which is actually a common phenomenon of wealth transfer in Europe and America. After all, the inheritance tax is a little exaggerated, and through such operation, we can avoid huge taxes.

Of course, there are many rich people who really do charity, but after all, they are a few. In fact, most of the rich are the same. No one is willing to give away all the wealth accumulated in his life or pay taxes after his death. This is also one of the reasons why various charitable funds in Europe and America are rampant.

......

After learning about Li Feng's performance in the trading room of the whole day, the manager of Citigroup Center in Los Angeles also had a great curiosity about Li Feng, and then ordered Charles to understand Microsoft's information according to Li Feng.

Similarly, Li Feng was standing in the trading room of Citigroup Center at this time, standing in front of the French window and looking outside, his heart was not calm.

The heart silently said "the Internet tide has finally opened".
