"Are you saying that you don't have a very optimistic view of Yahoo? Now in order to cash in Yahoo's shares in a short time, you have to find a way to sell Yahoo's shares to Bill Gates and others?"

Wu Maocai scratched his head. After Fang Chen said this, he realized that the company had so many troubles after it was listed that he didn't dare to sell it. If he sold it, the stock price would plummet. Isn't this fatal?

After thinking about it, he still felt that Qingtian was fine as it was now. It was not listed on the market, let alone selling shares. The profits earned every year were enough for the development of the company.

Before, he thought that going public was the inevitable fate of every enterprise. After all, it was like using other people's money to develop one's own enterprise, and if it was run well, the stock price would be at a high premium. It felt good to think about it.

"That's almost the truth, but it's actually not that urgent. Just issue a batch of shares within two or three years, and the rest can be sold slowly." Fang Chen said casually.

He just wanted Bill Gates and others to buy shares of Yahoo. It was purely a three-pronged strategy. If you can take advantage, take it. If you can't take advantage, let it go.

After all, a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars is not cheap. He thinks that when Yahoo goes public next year, it will probably be like this.

Moreover, as long as there is no Internet crisis, Yahoo's stock price will rise in a straight line. If he sells it later, he can get a little more profit.

And relatively speaking, Yahoo's lifespan is not as short as Netscape's. It only lasted for two or three years. After the millennium, although Yahoo's market value has never returned to the US$18 billion before the Internet crisis, it has basically been around.

It hovers around US$70-80 billion.

Even after 2006, when the glory was gone, Microsoft was still willing to pay $55 billion to buy Yahoo.

In other words, from now on, he has almost ten years to sell Yahoo's shares one after another, so there is no rush.

Of course, the most important reason is that he has money.

This is thanks to the Asian financial crisis and financial giants such as Soros, who have provided a steady source of funds for the development of Qingtian.

Let him not have to worry about Qingtian in the next two or three years, especially whether the development of Qingtian chips will be slowed down due to lack of funds.

Although he had made sufficient preparations before, to be honest, the chip and semiconductor industry is really a money-burning thing.

Especially for people like him, from raw materials to production equipment, manufacturing processes, as well as chip design, production, packaging and testing, and industrial software, all of them need a set. To comprehensively improve the level of China's semiconductor industry, this money is really like water.

The rushing flow.

Counting from the beginning of the preparation of Qingtian Chip, it has been nearly three years and more than a thousand days. It can be said that each day has cost him at least 50 to 60 million.

On average, forty or fifty Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars are thrown into the sea every day. Top luxury cars like Rolls-Royce Phantom and Cullinan are also thrown into the water almost seven or eight cars a day.

To put it bluntly, if you don't have a few incinerators, no one can compare with Fang Chen in burning money.

However, Fang Chen still thinks that the money is well spent, and even thinks that Zhang Rujing, Ni Guangnan and other employees of Qingtian Chip have worked very hard to save him money.

You know, Intel's annual investment in scientific research has reached as high as 3 billion US dollars and 25 billion US dollars, which is more than the amount of money it invests in Optimus chips every year.

But the US$3 billion invested by Intel is mainly in the design, manufacturing, testing and packaging of chips, and does not involve raw materials and various auxiliary materials, as well as the production and research and development of semiconductor equipment and industrial software.

It can be said that Qingtian Chip has completed more R&D and production tasks with less money.

He even calculated that the effect of spending one dollar on Optimus Chip is greater than the effect of spending three dollars on Intel.

Not to mention that Qingtian Chip has now begun to conquer the chips of all communication electronic products produced by Qingtian's branches one by one.

Not to mention that this can save him at least two billion US dollars every year, but the sense of security brought by having this chip and other key components in his own hands has already made him feel that all investments in Qingtian Chip are worth it.

It's extremely worth it.

At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly looked forward to launching a second currency attack on Siam in July.

The previous one in February could only be regarded as a small test to see what the background of Southeast Asia was. The second attack in July was the official start of the Asian financial crisis.

This huge financial war will once again start in Siam, and then quickly sweep through Java, Luzon, Star City, South Korea, and Eastern Japan, and finally fall to Xiangjiang, which has strong support from China.

He roughly calculated in his mind that once this wave is over, Qingtian will not have to worry about its development funds in the past two or three years, and even if things go wrong, it can support Qingtian Chip to become a world-class semiconductor company.

By that time, Qingtian and even China, I am afraid that the trapped dragon will ascend to the sky and the dragon will roam the world.

Although Bill Gates was more or less frustrated because of the acquisition of Yahoo shares in the end, he still followed Fang Chen's wishes and stopped Netscape's membership fees and fully converted them into advertiser fees. This immediately caused the outside world to

A strong sensation.

Especially after Bill Gates reported that Netscape's first-month advertising revenue reached US$600 million through Jewish newspapers and newspapers, Netscape's shares bottomed out instantly, and on the first day

It rose 5% and once again reached the market capitalization mark of US$10 billion.

For a time, both media reporters and the capital market, including ordinary shareholders who held Netscape stocks, began to sing praises to Bill Gates.

They praised Bill Gates for canceling user charges, which was a wise choice. They completely ignored how they agreed with Bill Gates to charge users with both hands and feet at that time, and how they believed that Netscape's stock price would rise sharply, and then invested a lot of money.

Real money comes in and you want to make a fortune.

Some media and newspapers even said that Bill Gates changed from user-paying to advertiser-paying, ushering in a new era of profit model for Internet companies.

For a time, Bill Gates' limelight overshadowed Fang Chen, as if Bill Gates was the richest man in the world.

As for those newspapers and magazines that overtly and covertly ridiculed Fang Chen for being unwise to give up Netscape, there are even more newspapers and magazines.

But Fang Chen is used to this. When Bill Gates first took over Netscape, these newspapers and magazines jumped out to disgust him.

Later, Netscape lost a large number of users and its stock price fell, so these guys had to shut up.

But that's all they did was shut up. They never apologized for the previous articles that criticized him, and there were no articles praising him for his sharp eyesight, knowing the subtleties without publicity, and having already seen that the Internet scene was not good.

If it is a proper double-standard dog, if it conforms to what they think, they will report it widely; if it does not conform to what they think, they will tuck their tail between their legs and pretend to be a turtle.

Now that Netscape is finally shaking, how could they not show up with Hei Fangchen.

However, probably because of the lessons learned last time, their terms are no longer so intense.

But Fang Chen doesn't care about this. Quan is just watching a show. No matter how much these media and newspapers bark, can they bite him in the slightest?

In the end, I would have to be kicked hard by him.

As for a large number of users who had left Netscape Browser before, they also began to return to Netscape Browser on a large scale.

After all, not to mention that they are more accustomed to using Netscape Browser, the quality of use of Netscape Browser itself also beats all other browsers.

Compared with Netscape browser, other browsers are really not on the same level.

In the past, they only went to other browsers because Netscape was charging. Now that Netscape is free, they will naturally return.

But after returning, they found that everything was not as beautiful as they imagined.

Netscape Browser has changed!

If the first homepage they open is filled with all kinds of advertisements, they can actually understand it. After all, Netscape has announced that it will start charging for advertising, so it is normal for some ads to pop up on the homepage.

But the pop-up ads that pop up suddenly from time to time are a bit too disgusting.

Sometimes, when they are concentrating on browsing web content, a huge pop-up window suddenly pops up in the center of their screen, accompanied by huge sound effects of advertisements, which is so noisy that it can kill people!

Especially in the middle of the night, this sudden pop-up advertisement pops up, which is really scary.

However, the most annoying thing is that the pop-up advertisement cannot be turned off.

The close button is always hidden in the very corner and is pitifully small. If you click the wrong button, it will jump to another pure advertising interface. It’s really disgusting!

At the beginning, everyone could tolerate it for a while, but within half a month, one after another users couldn't bear it anymore and began to call Netscape's complaint hotline.

But relatively speaking, this group of users is relatively small, and there are still a large number of users whose tolerance threshold has not been triggered.

But Bill Gates and Metsu know that this is their last chance. If they don't take advantage of the current rise in Netscape's stock price and quickly sell off their Netscape shares, they will really lose everything.

No more left.

It is absolutely impossible to give users who have been deceived another time a third chance.

Unlike Bill Gates and others who were anxious and panicked, Fang Chen seemed extremely comfortable and leisurely.

In the past three months, Qingtian has released a new generation of mobile phones, pagers and repeaters. As for switches and 5G mobile network base stations, it has been quietly iterated several times.

For the latter two, although the scientific research and design personnel of Qingtian Communications have tried their best to consider various emergencies during the design, as the saying goes that manpower is sometimes poor, there must be oversights and omissions.

.

And practice is the highest standard for testing all truths, so whether it is switches or mobile network base stations, various new problems have been exposed that they had never thought of before.

But don’t be afraid if there are problems. The solution is that every day thousands of Qingtian engineering and technical personnel make a large number of improvements in response to various problems raised by the Postal and Telecommunications Bureau and operators.

However, amid these various improvements, Qingtian Communications' switches and mobile network base stations have become more and more perfect, and have even vaguely surpassed other international communication equipment giants, including switches, which are already considered obsolete.

.

This is actually the value of experience, and it is also one of the secrets why large foreign companies can stay ahead of China.

Before Huaxia companies entered this industry, they had already gained a lot of experience from users. After improving and iterating their products over and over again, their products were naturally better than Huaxia's.

And the most important thing is that these experiences cannot be bought by any company, and it cannot be predicted in advance and changed before users find out.

These experiences can only be gained through actual use by users and sublimated through improvements.

As for the launch of three new products: mobile phones, pagers, and repeaters, Fang Chen did not personally participate, but let Jin Zhijiang and Shen Wei speak on their own.

Holding a product launch conference, telling all potential consumers about the characteristics of your product through the media, and bragging about the advantages of your product is a very good means of publicity.

After all, if the effect is not good, neither will these domestic C-type product manufacturers. Every time a new product is released, they must hold a product launch conference.

But it does not mean that all new product releases must be announced by Fang Chen himself.

Qingtian's product line is not yet rich, and sometimes a product may not be able to launch a new product in a year, but he still has time to talk about it.

But in the future, if Qingtian develops even bigger and has more products, how can he still have a lot of time and energy to personally launch conferences for these products one by one?

Therefore, for those products that can only be regarded as normal iterations and are not eye-catching and groundbreaking, he will not personally hold press conferences for them in the future.

It can even be said that unless it is a product like DVD players that replaces video disc players, he will probably not hold a press conference in person in the future.

There is no way, this is the inevitable development of the times.

Before, Qingtian was relatively weak, so it was understandable to use his name to advertise Qingtian's new products.

But now Qingtian has grown so big that it will soon become one of the top 100 super-large companies in the world.

Impossible, he has to personally produce all the products, right?

Is Qingtian really so unmanned?

If this is the case, something will definitely go wrong if he doesn't take action in person. This is Qingtian's tragedy, and it is even more tragic for him.

Fang Chen did not become more relaxed after he once again assigned some of the things in his hands to Shen Wei, Jin Zhijiang and other branch presidents. After all, he also took over some of the things that Duan Yongping was originally responsible for from Duan Yongping.

In addition, the most important thing is the appearance of Qingtian Computer.
