Rebirth

Chapter 44 Netscape is beckoning (recommendation tickets for the upcoming new day)

In the end, under the witness of Yang Zhiyuan, David and others, after Zach nodded to indicate that the contract was okay, he signed his own name and Zach's name.

In the end, Li Feng used 14% of Yahoo's shares to borrow 50 million U.S. dollars from Sequoia Capital, with a repayment period of one year and an annual interest of 20%, that is, a repayment of 60 million with principal and interest.Of course, the contract states that it is a return on investment. After all, it is really a loan agreement, and it becomes usury.

As for why Zac’s name must be signed, after all, Zac is still Li Feng’s guardian in name. The minor’s signature needs to be confirmed by the guardian.

I have to say that Lao Mei's efficiency is still very high. After signing the agreement, Valentine signaled that the company's financial department had sent the money to Li Feng's account at Citibank.

Within a few minutes, I received a call from the account manager of Citibank’s Los Angeles branch who claimed to be Billy Zhang.He even asked if he needed specialized financial management services. After all, Li Feng’s account came in at 50 million US dollars. In 1995, it was not a small amount, especially Li Feng was only 15 years old.

According to the account manager, he became a VIP customer, he is Li Feng's personal bank customer service.

......

As for the accounts are Li Feng's own, Lao Mei is good, even minors can still open accounts and bank cards in the bank.

At the same time, Laomei's bank account and bank card are not the same concept. Unlike our China Bank card and bank account, it is easy to apply for a bank account at the same time, as long as you can directly apply for your own social security card.

As long as she was born in the hospital, Lao Mei had a special ID number-social security card number, which was equivalent to China's social security card number, which was regarded as an identity certificate.

Originally, when he was picked up, the orphanage tried to find information about Li Feng's parents through the hospital, but found nowhere in Los Angeles.

It is even inferred that Li Feng's mother may not give birth in a hospital, or even after giving birth directly at home, Li Feng was thrown into an orphanage.

Therefore, there was no social security card. In the end, the people from the orphanage helped Li Feng re-apply for the birth permit and receive the social security card number, which prevented Li Feng from becoming a black household.

......

Fortunately, this is not bad in the United States. As long as you are born in the United States, you will automatically obtain citizenship, regardless of whether your parents are illegal or any other circumstances.

In previous lives, it was often said that many parents who were waiting to give birth smuggled to the old United States to give birth, and then their children would automatically receive news about American citizenship.

At the same time, Laomei does not have various household registration systems, so you can be a resident wherever you live.

For example, if you live in New York, you are considered a resident of New York. If you are bored living in New York and want to live in Los Angeles in a different environment, then you are considered a resident of Los Angeles, which is very convenient.

A driver’s license is regarded as an ID card. Basically everyone has a driver’s license. As long as they are over 16 years old, they can verify it.

Of course, if the disabled cannot drive and other special circumstances, they can also apply for a special ID card.

......

Without mentioning the issue of household registration, Li Feng was very happy to be able to borrow money anyway. After greeted Yang Zhiyuan and others, he was ready to lead the way by Valentine and go to Netscape to get some insights.

As for Yang Zhiyuan and David, they said that there was nothing wrong with them, so they went back to Yahoo. They also had no interest in Netscape shares.

After all, I couldn't be too busy with Yahoo's affairs. Besides, the two were not as crazy as Li Feng and took Yahoo shares as collateral. After all, the two company operators are not investors like Li Feng, and their nature is different.

After that, Valentine, Michael Moritz and Li Feng from Sequoia Capital went to Netscape together.

......

To be honest, after listening to Li Feng's previous remarks, Valentine also had the idea of ​​buying Netscape shares. If he could follow Li Feng's statement, it would be several times the profit.

As for whether Netscape can follow Li Feng's vision, no one knows, after all, it has not yet been listed.

But for Li Feng's business vision, Valentine is still a little confident, after all, he was the first to invest in Yahoo, and he also proposed Yahoo's profit model.

And for Li Feng, whether it is Valentine or Michael Moritz, they are full of good feelings and curiosity. Prodigy is not a stranger, but it is difficult to see a mature personality like Li Feng.

Afterwards, a few people chatted in the car for a meeting and soon arrived at Netscape, after all, Silicon Valley is so big.

......

As Li Feng and others got out of the car, they saw Dul John come out with a group of people. Li Feng also knew that these people were mainly here to welcome Don Valentine, after all, because of his status in Silicon Valley. It is indeed worthy of everyone from Netscape to come out to welcome it.

After the exchanges between the two parties, Li Feng finally understood the situation, good guys, in addition to Dul John, the two co-founders of Netscape, Mark Anderson and Jim Clark, and representatives of Morgan Stanley.

Not to mention KPCB and Morgan Stanley represented by Dul John, they are definitely the big names in the capital market.

Mark Anderson is the developer and technologist of Netscape. Later he became one of the well-known venture capitalists in Silicon Valley. Many companies in later generations have his shares, such as FB and Witte, who have become shareholders and directors of the company's board of directors.

Jim Clark is also a legend in Silicon Valley. Later generations commented that he founded three companies, each of which has a market value of more than $1 billion, which is considered unique in Silicon Valley.

Seeing everyone walking into Netscape while talking and laughing, Li Feng couldn't help but feel that these characters in the previous life could only be understood on the computer screen, and now they are all standing in front of him, they are still the best reborn characters.

......

As for the history of Netscape, Li Feng has a general understanding. From the beginning of the listing, the stock price has been flying all the way, and then it didn't take long for Microsoft to launch its own browser. After that, Netscape's stock price began to fall.

Since then, there has been a browser war between Netscape and Microsoft.In the end, Netscape failed. In 1998, Netscape was acquired by AOL (AOL), and Netscape ended its short-lived glory.

Therefore, this time Li Feng was right. After Netscape went public, he stared at Microsoft, and waited until Microsoft launched the IE browser and sold Netscape stocks in advance. Then the plan to speculate on Netscape was successfully completed.

This is Li Feng's plan from the beginning of his plan for Netscape. To put it bluntly, he hopes to use Netscape to circle money to complete the initial capital accumulation.

After all, it’s been too long to wait for Yahoo. Yahoo’s stock price will peak for several years before the dot-com bubble burst.

In the past few years, there have been too many opportunities. As long as you seize it once, you will definitely remain on the Forbes rich list in the future; if you seize it twice, it is estimated that the top 10 will be basically stable, if you seize it more than 3 times , Then you have to find ways to hide your wealth as much as possible.

After all, there may be too much money at that time, and too much money will be too ostentatious to put it on the surface.

.....

As everyone settled down in the conference room, Li Feng looked at the conference room for a full circle and was full of expectations for the next conversation.
