Chapter 699 Reread

In Silicon Valley, after being discharged from the hospital, Song Ya went to Netscape again. Of course, she would not try to understand any programming languages ​​anymore.

"Sorry, because a little episode on my side interrupted the business."

He sat in the conference room lively, "Thank you for the flowers you sent, I like them very much, Mr. Clark, Mr. Baxter."

"You recovered?" Baxter looked at him.

"It's all right, no problem, haha." Song Ya patted her chest.

"All right……"

After laughing again at DTS's difficult road to market, Jim Clark directly asked the staff to distribute the documents, "APLUS, you know my style, since the sales of Netscape Browser Professional Edition are very good, then I will We intend to continue to accelerate the pace of listing, and advance the original listing date from September to August, August 9. Issuing tradable shares accounting for 35% of the total share capital, the issue price per share is tentatively set at 10 to 12 meters knife."

"Wow, at this price our market cap would be..."

Song Yaxin calculated, "About 900 million?" He couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. According to his shareholding ratio after being compressed by these tradable shares, 5% is converted into just over 3%. Then the original 2 million investment At that time, it will be worth nearly 30 million. In fact, if you think about it carefully, his shareholding may be less than 3% at that time, because Netscape gave some core employees incentive options in order to stabilize people's hearts during this critical period of development.

"Basically, the two months of June and July are a matter of life and death for us. Everyone should start hyping non-stop to enhance the confidence of investors and brokerages."

Baxter pointed to Song Ya, "You also have to shoulder your obligations."

"No problem, what are you going to ask me to do? Bring goods?"

"Bringing goods... almost, keep preaching our Netscape philosophy to the public, whenever you have the opportunity, repeat it, and maximize your public influence."

Baxter dropped another document and said, "There are three main points. First, Microsoft is wrong. The Internet represents the future, not the Windows operating system. The Internet can shorten the distance between people and speed up the speed of information exchange. Barbara, you have to master all relevant concepts, don’t make a fool of yourself when asked by reporters, we don’t want investors to think that we have found an early shareholder who doesn’t understand anything.”

"I understand, don't worry, I'll memorize it all. The Internet represents the future, not some Windows operating system... Uh, keep attacking Microsoft? They're powerful..."

Song Ya asked: "This is a paradox, right? If our accusations against Microsoft are correct, aren't we helping them realize their mistakes? If our accusations against Microsoft are wrong, how can we get investors' attention?" Agree?"

"Well."

Baxter was stunned by the question, "You should memorize it, big singer, this is a concept, it's hype, you just need to know that repeated preaching is good for our listing and stock price."

"Okay okay."

Song Ya was very interested, and continued to read the document, "Second point, the golden rule of Wall Street that companies must have a reliable record of profitability is no longer suitable for the new era. Investors must understand that in the early stages of the development of emerging industries , it is very important to maintain rapid growth and lead in market share, which is an extremely important strategic advantage. Netscape browser currently has a market share of 80%, which is a strategic advantage..."

"Strategic advantage," Jim Clark said emphatically to his students.

"Well, yes, the strategic advantage...uh..." Good student asked again, "Can't our Pro browser sales get us to profitability this year?"

"Yes, but that little profit is not enough to support the stock price. Now the technology industry is full of hot money, and the investment in programmer labor, computer hardware, and network equipment is high, and we have to make some strategic acquisitions to break through the patent barrier..."

Baxter explained, "Strategic, pay attention to repeatedly mentioning APLUS, we are the strategists who are at the forefront of the industry, what do ordinary investors know? Just follow our instructions. Where to spend the funds raised from the open market, maintain our rapid growth and market share, maintain our technology and patent advantages, and as for profitability, we will always think of a way in the future, such as the third point.”

"Okay, keep our rapid growth and market share, keep our technology and patent advantages..."

Song Ya kept repeating, "The third point: the facts show that Netscape has two major opportunities. In addition to the Internet, there is also the construction of the enterprise's intranet. Enterprise users spend more money on internal servers than ordinary users buy professional browsers." Much more...Our alliance with companies like Sun will beat Wintel (an alliance between Microsoft and Intel), PowerPC (an alliance between Apple, IBM, Motorola, and Lotus Software) etc. in this market..."

"Wow, we are so ambitious." Song Yaquan couldn't help sighing after memorizing it.

"Don't talk about APLUS like that, I've always been an industry leader, we just have a bright future..."

Jim Clark said domineeringly.

"Of course, I admire you, Mr. Clark, you created SGI...and now it's Netscape." Song Ya complimented.

"Um."

Jim Clark was confident now, "Anything else?"

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. I'm going to prepare some more money to increase our holdings in the open market after listing. Just take it, just take it as a support for the market, prevent, prevent the breakout on the day of listing (the stock falls below the issuance level) Price) or something, everyone looks bad..."

Song Ya took the opportunity to put forward her plan.

"Yes, this can also prove the confidence of our shareholders. Remember to report to the board of directors and management first."

Jim Clark stood up and pointed Song Ya with his index finger to warn, "But be careful not to exceed five percent. If you exceed it, you are my enemy."

"No, I'll just buy a little bit, hehe." Song Ya didn't want to have an enemy of this level (temporarily), "I didn't prepare too much money."

He also did not leave much money for August 9th, 10 million, if calculated based on the minimum issue price of 10 knives per share, he would only buy 1 million shares, 1% of the total shares.

But at the same time, he also invested heavily in Sun, 20 million, which has already made O'Grady start buying.

"APLUS! Can you tell me why you were suddenly hospitalized?"

Leaving the Netscape headquarters, he was surrounded by reporters outside. Of course, this was intentional. According to his current bodyguard team, if he didn't want to, he would never be surrounded by reporters.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm just a little sick..." He replied loudly.

"But this is not the first time you have been rushed to the hospital, right? Are you taking medicine or something?" another reporter asked.

"As you all know, I never touch those things."

Song Ya glared at him.

"Or did you have some kind of mental blow at Netscape, you own some stock in the company right? Do you have any issues with them?"

"It's nonsense, I respect Jim and Baxter very much, and I have had contact with Mark as early as UIUC. Our personal relationship is very good, and the cooperation is also very smooth. There is no conflict at all... This company was closed in August. It’s about to go public, and Jim and I agree that we are optimistic about the future of Netscape.”

"What do you think about the prospect of going public?" a reporter asked.

Song Ya glanced at him approvingly, and began to repeat, "Obviously, the Internet, only the Internet represents the future, not something like windows. The Internet can shorten the distance between people... The golden rules of Wall Street are no longer suitable. In this era, compared to profitability, I think it is more important to have a strategic, uh, strategic advantage... There are two main development directions for Netscape in the future, Inter...ahem, In..."

A little stuck, his face flushed slightly, "!"
