Chapter 873

This may be the case for a party of big men. Things that may surprise ordinary people may happen in casual gossip, such as the previous mergers and acquisitions of the three major banks, and Li Feng's random teasing of Ge.

If Ge really intended to sell NBC, it would be of interest not only to Li Feng, but also to several major banking groups. After all, this is the highest quality asset. It is a good choice whether it is to increase assets, even sell again or continue to operate.

Of course, if you really enter the negotiation, it may give people the opportunity to speculate. For example, buy the shares of the two companies before the negotiation. When the acquisition starts, the soaring stock prices of the two companies are certain. In short, it is difficult for ordinary people to make money, and it is really easy for those who participate in it to make money.

After a while, Li Feng not only brought Wu Jianmin to chat, including Xu Youyu and a group of financial talents under his banner, but also greeted the leaders of several major financial consortia in the United States.

Seeing everyone chatting about finance, the world economy and even all kinds of financial gossip, Li Feng was not interested in joining the fun, so he said hello to the people and left the group temporarily.

"Boss, looking at you so busy, I'm sorry to bother you. Congratulations on further progress!"

Li Feng just turned and left the crowd. Without taking two steps, Eric Schmidt, his Internet helm, greeted him with a smile.

"Ha ha... Eric, it's hard for you!" Li Feng gave them a warm hug and laughed back.

"Everything is very good, boss. There are many friends from Silicon Valley. I don't want to see them!"

"Oh... I haven't seen you for some time. Who have come? Let's meet!"

"This way... Please!"

……

"John, your boy is finally willing to come over. I think if Eric hadn't called you, you wouldn't have come to see our old friends!" As Li Feng approached, he suddenly heard a joke and complaint about Li Feng.

"Wow... David, you are my closest relative. As the closest person, you should trust me more. Naturally, I put you last. It also seems that you are my most important partner, aren't you?"

It is David Philo of Yahoo, a good friend, who is teasing Li Feng.

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

"David, don't tease John. If you want to go on like this, John will directly drive you away!"

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

"Ha ha..."

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

"Everybody, welcome to Los Angeles!"

"John, long time no see!"

"John, you're really impressed after three days!"

"We see your news every day in Silicon Valley. It's all front page headlines. We're stunned by your career development!"

“…”

……

Among the visitors, in addition to Eric Schmidt, the two founders of Yahoo and the two founders of Google, they also include several venture capitalists such as Don Valentine and Dole, as well as some leaders of Silicon Valley technology companies such as Intel and AOL. They are some decent friends Li Feng has contacted before.

"Jim, I heard that Netscape has been having a hard time recently!" Li Feng smiled and joked to Jim Clark, the boss behind Netscape.

"Yes, who knows Microsoft is so tricky!" Jim Clark shrugged and smiled helplessly.

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

Li Feng naturally knows that Netscape is destined to cross the sky like a meteor and open the door of the Internet era. Including Yahoo in the future, if there is no special situation, the future situation can be predicted.

"John, it's still good. We left early. We were miserable. The stocks were locked in the stock market." Dur, the Silicon Valley venture capitalist, also joked back.

"I was lucky. I didn't have any money at that time. I could only cash out what I made. It's still the reason why I'm poor. It's also the advantage of being poor. If I had a lot of money at that time, maybe I would directly invest in Netscape and hold shares until 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 binding policy, Netscape wouldn't have such a situation." Jim Clark exclaimed.

Obviously, in Jim's view, Microsoft is definitely the most hateful. As the saying goes, stopping people from getting rich is like killing their parents. Netscape's poor performance in the stock market has led to Jim's sharp decline in value. It's strange that people don't hate Microsoft.

……

Similarly, although Microsoft has won the browser battle with Netscape, it is the so-called killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. Although for Microsoft, only the browser victory does not need to hurt eight hundred, it is undoubtedly unfriendly to face the antitrust investigation.

Since the binding of IE browser last year, facing the antitrust complaint of Netscape, the Justice Department of the US imperial government finally accused Microsoft of monopolizing the operating system in October last year, believing that it is illegal to bundle the browser with the operating system.

This is the first time Microsoft has faced antitrust charges. Unfortunately, such a case investigation is destined to be long, but Netscape can't last that day.

Historically, the anti-monopoly case was delayed until after 2000. Finally, Microsoft avoided the fate of being split due to anti-monopoly through continuous means such as the above.

Similarly, Microsoft has also paid a lot of costs for this, including that Mr. Gates resigned as president and CEO of Microsoft and began to slowly cash out a large number of Microsoft shares. After all, gates holds four layers of shares, which is too much for large listed companies.

In the face of Netscape's dilemma, everyone present had different thoughts. For example, Steve case, the boss of AOL, was secretly happy and even began to make the idea of Netscape.

In history, Netscape was acquired by AOL not long ago this year. Of course, with the history of later generations, it is obviously a bad chess, but now Netscape has a very strong reputation.

……

It's still very lively to greet people you know.

"Not to mention these unhappy things, John, I'd like to introduce you to two new friends. These are the president and chief banking officer of Silicon Valley Bank, John Dean and Ken Wilcox."

When the greeting was over, don valentine of Sequoia Capital smiled and changed the topic. He helped Li Feng introduce the two relative strangers next to him, but they were the two leaders of Silicon Valley banking and financial group.

"Silicon Valley Bank? I've heard about it. Dominic talked to me about Silicon Valley Bank, Dean and Ken before. It's nice to meet you, but we should cooperate more in the future! " Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li!"

"Mr. John, should it be our honor or bad luck for Silicon Valley Bank to enter your sight and be watched by your CSCB?"

"Ha ha... Dean, you should be careful!"

"John has an eye on you. I think you'd better integrate directly into John's CSCB."

"Ha ha..."

Sure enough, Li Feng's words to the Bank of Silicon Valley and the two leaders immediately aroused a burst of jokes. However, perhaps everyone is joking, and they are secretly thinking whether Li Feng, the American wealth miracle, really wants to buy Silicon Valley banks.
