The more I thought about Jim, the smoother he became and the more he accepted Fang Chen's idea.

After all, by doing this, Fang Chen saved himself the trouble of begging his grandpa and suing his grandma and running around to venture capital companies to be his grandson.

After careful calculation, he actually made a profit.

Twelve million US dollars is naturally not expensive for Fang Chen. It is just Qingtian's profit for one day, and the difference from his quotation is only two million US dollars. There is nothing to waste money on, so he was immediately happy.

Agreed.

However, this contract requires Jim to return to the United States and sign it with Mikas.

After all, venture capital projects are under the management of Qingtian Investment Company. When Fang Chen came forward to talk to Jim and the others, he had stretched his hands too far and seemed to be overstepping his authority. Naturally, he could no longer sign a contract with Jim and the others in the name of the head office.

Jim understood this.

As for Marc Andreessen, he is still immersed in the excitement of becoming a multi-millionaire.

Although after Fang Chen joins, his shares in Netscape will be diluted to 35%, but if calculated based on the 50% share price of 12 million US dollars, his 35% shares are worth almost 840 US dollars.

Ten thousand US dollars is not far away from ten million US dollars.

It can even be said that based on this momentum, if Netscape develops for a few more months, he will be a legitimate multi-millionaire.

For a young man like him, who has just graduated with a master's degree, is in his early twenties, and doesn't even have a girlfriend, relying on his own ability to have nearly ten million US dollars in one day is like a dream, with swollen blood vessels and adrenaline.

Rapid secretion.

Anyway, whatever makes you excited.

Everything that needed to be finalized had been finalized. Fang Chen looked at his watch and saw that there wasn't much time left before lunch, so he directly motioned to Marc Anderson and Jim to have a casual meal with him.

Chinese hospitality is not like that of Americans. Since the guest has come all the way and was invited by himself, how can he say that he doesn't even care about lunch and lets him eat instant noodles?

Seeing that they were just going to eat, Jim couldn't help but be startled, hesitated for more than ten seconds, and then asked Fang Chen: "Do you have anything else to say, for example, can you give us some advice on the company's operations?

Or it may point us to the future development direction of Netscape."

To be honest, he himself was confused at this time. Fang Chen was simply too free and easy and did not act according to common sense.

Generally speaking, although venture capital companies do not directly interfere with the daily operations of start-up companies, at most they send a financial officer to prevent their money from being spent casually by the start-up company.

But in order to prevent themselves from losing money, venture capital companies will always discuss the company's future operations with start-up companies and provide their own ideas.

Some established venture capital firms will also harshly require start-up companies to operate according to their ideas and business strategies.

Of course, to a certain extent, listening to these venture capital companies is correct.

After all, it is the boss who gives the money, let alone expecting the venture capital company to continue to give money in the future.

Furthermore, these venture capital companies have dealt with too many start-up companies and have many successful cases, so they are very helpful for the management of start-up companies, and the business strategies they propose are more reliable.

But someone like Fang Chen who has no involvement in management is not only unique, but it is also very rare.

In addition, Fang Chen, as the world's richest man, built a Fortune 500 company like Qingtian from scratch in a poor place like China in a short period of four or five years.

There is no doubt that Fang Chen has his own uniqueness in business management and development, and it is not an exaggeration to even be called the strongest in the world.

If Fang Chen could write all his business ideas, exploration and thinking on enterprise development, and the causes and consequences of major key decisions in these years into a book, he can say without exaggeration that this would be a great book.

Business Bible.

All entrepreneurs, economists, and ordinary people who are interested in getting rich have a copy of it and worship Fang Chen.

Furthermore, Fang Chen's Internet theory just now really made him feel refreshing.

In this case, he naturally hopes to get Fang Chen's tips and valuable suggestions.

Fang Chen didn't expect that Jim would actually say that. For a moment, he thought Jim was just flattering him, but Jim's sincere eyes didn't seem to be fake, and it seemed that he really wanted to hear some of his suggestions for the future development of Netscape.

.

For a moment, Fang Chen's expression couldn't help but become a little weird.

After all, it was the first time for him to ask for advice on business development.

But as soon as the thought came to his mind, Fang Chen understood.

Not before, just because he hasn't encountered it, it doesn't mean that no one wants to ask him for advice.

As the youngest richest man in the world, he still has some cards to play.

No, Buffett, an old boy, doesn’t have as much money as him. Whenever Buffett holds a dinner party, there will be idiots who spend millions of dollars on it.

And these people paid so much money to Buffett, not just to chat with Buffett and ask Buffett for knowledge about management and wealth.

To put it bluntly, with his current status and wealth level, if he held a dinner party for Fang Chen, it would definitely be more famous than Buffett's dinner party, and people would flock to it.

Therefore, if Jim asks him for advice now, Jim will gain.

Fang Chen couldn't help but look at Jim with approval, and he actually had some suggestions for Netscape.

After all, he has experienced more than Jim. The world economy has developed rapidly in the past 20 to 30 years, and he has seen various enterprise development models, especially in the Internet era, the development trajectory and development context of enterprises in the Internet era.

It can be said that in terms of understanding how Internet companies develop and guiding the development of Internet companies, there is really no one else in the world who is right.

Even at this moment, Fang Chen suddenly felt a heartbeat and wanted to have a dinner party for Fang Chen before Buffett did.

The model can be exactly the same as Buffett's dinner party, and all the money paid by the other party will be donated to the poor people in China.

As the president of the Guangcai Cause Promotion Association, he should contribute more to the poverty alleviation of China's poor people.

But after thinking about it, Fang Chen shook his head and said: "I don't have any experience to give you. No one knows how Internet companies should develop now. How to clear the fog of history can only rely on you."

As mentioned before, if he intervenes in the development of Netscape, he will definitely develop Netscape very well.

But what's the point?

This seems a bit incredible. As the major shareholder of Netscape, the better Netscape develops, the more money he can earn. So why is he unwilling to mentor Jim?

This theory, if applied to Qingtian and any branch of Qingtian, is actually valid.

But for companies like Netscape, where Qingtian is just a venture capital company that invests money, this may not necessarily apply.

As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever. The ups and downs and ups and downs of a company are actually quite normal.

Especially for a company like Netscape, which does not have any unique technology or special business philosophy and model. Looking at its development history, rise and fall, it just happened to be a company that happened to ride on the rapid development wave of the Internet.

Death is simply a normal thing.

And whether it's Netscape or Yahoo in the future.

These companies all have one obvious thing in common, that is, they rely on an Internet model that has never been seen in the world, and then while riding the wave of the Internet, they took the first bite of crabs and continued to eat them. The man is extremely rich.

But there is no moat in itself that is difficult to cross or imitate.

Once a strong competitor appears, especially after the wave of the times has passed and the wind blows to the next new technology or new model, it will die.

After all, only when the tide recedes do you know who was swimming naked.

In other words, even at the wind outlet, pigs can fly.

Under such circumstances, in fact, regardless of Fang Chen's guidance or not, and whether he interferes with Netscape's operations, Netscape will most likely reach the heights of its previous life.

Then all he needs to consider is to choose a suitable time to sell all his shares and obtain the maximum benefit.

As for Netscape, after reaching its peak, it did not fall into the trough, and even entered a higher peak.

That's another thing, an extremely difficult thing.

After all, it was Bill Gates' Microsoft who brought Netscape to the bottom.

When Microsoft has almost monopolized 90% of the world's computer operating systems, it is not a good idea to compete with the IE browser launched by Microsoft.

Not to mention, the chance of winning is low, and even if he wins, he will have to put in countless efforts.

In addition, there is a more important reason. Even if Netscape wins, can Netscape continue to win 300 times or even 500 times the revenue?

It's impossible even if you think about it, even three to five times more difficult.

After all, Netscape's high market value has a strong flavor of the times, and it is the era's reward for the first person who dares to try something new.

It can even be said that there is only so much wealth that a browser can bring.

No, even if Microsoft launched the IE browser, which occupied the desktops of all computer users, it did not bring any increase in revenue or market value to Microsoft.

There's no way, sir, times have changed.

After Microsoft launched the IE browser, it didn't take long for the portal era headed by Yahoo to usher in.

The portal website has become the first step for users to travel on the Internet, controlling a large number of user entrances. Then the browser, which thought it controlled the user entrances, naturally declined, its halo dissipated, and it became an ordinary software.

This is why Fang Chen laughed at Microsoft, saying it had never truly become a monopoly in the Internet era.

Since Microsoft was developing operating systems, it thought it could monopolize the Internet entrance and gain a lot of profits by relying on the operating system. However, as soon as the browser came out, it discovered that the operating system was not important, and the browser was the Internet entrance.

And just after I built my own browser, I beat my opponent to death, and then I discovered that the portal is the real entrance to the Internet, so I hurriedly built my own portal.

But not long after the portal website was launched, search engines appeared.

Suddenly, search engines became the entrance to the Internet.

This is great. Microsoft sells mapi directly, and I won’t do it anymore.

From 1994 to the new millennium, in just six years, the Internet entrance changed four times.
