"Okay, I will take a closer look."
He said a lot, Song Ya nodded frequently and was sincerely taught.
"Nice kid~www.mtlnovel.com~ By the way, don't wear a big gold chain or big gold watch on the day the bell rings, wear a formal dress, you know?" Jim Clark said.
"Okay, no problem." Song Ya continued to nod.
"Where is Dr. Chen?" Bucksted asked.
"I'm working on the case of my capital injection of the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation, on their New York main station." Song Ya replied.
"You call him, we are going to negotiate with Morgan Stanley on the issue price of new shares again. Is he a professional in your field?" Jim Clark asked.
"Yes, eh? Wait..."
Song Ya was stunned, "Didn't it have been set last time, 14 dollars per share?"
"We think it's still a little bit low." Bucksted said, "The market reaction is very enthusiastic. We and KPCB both feel that $14 is still low. This time we are going to play the big one and double it directly!"
"Fourteen dollars doubled? Twenty-eight dollars? Per share!?"
Chicago 1990 Chapter 747: Raise prices again
"The results of the inquiry are indeed very good, and the market has responded enthusiastically. It is possible to support the issue price of the new shares of $28..."
After Dr. Chen came, Song Yaxian communicated with him separately, "But there is still the problem. Netscape has no hope of profitability, although their software has sold more than one million sales in half a year, about 6,000. Ten thousand dollars in sales revenue, but at the same time, the expenditure is huge. The company has 500 employees, most of which are software engineers with high levels of salary. There are other fixed asset investment and acquisition expenses..." he said.
"We have a market share and a strategic advantage. Negroponte’s theory shows that the future belongs to the Internet and digital life..." Song Ya repeated Jim Clark’s words, "The Internet industry is currently being widely discussed around the world, government policies and funding They are also very supportive..."
"But everything has to be the real money of stock market investors. Of course, I have never participated in an IPO of this size before. My opinion is not necessarily correct. At least I have no self-confidence on Jim Clark's side."
Dr. Chen interrupted him, "And I remember that we can't do anything at all in this decision-making process. If this is the case, then what should we entangle with?"
"That's true."
Song Ya touched his chin and nodded, his share power is very small. Jim Clark sometimes asks himself or makes himself stand, just to find someone who can support his opinion or agree with him. That arrogant guy never really cared. Own opinion.
"Our interests are the same as Jim's." Dr. Chen said.
"Ok."
That being the case, what should I worry about? Anyway, the more Netscape financing, the better for the company's development. The higher the stock price, the more I earn. "Then let's go in, there is a lot of noise."
He took Dr. Chen into the large conference room. As he said, the quarrel had already become a mess. Morgan Stanley and another smaller underwriter, Humberquist, were all here. They and Netscape And KPCB's disagreement.
"Microsoft contacted us in June. Although we rejected their harsh and arrogant strategic cooperation plan, doesn't this indicate the bright prospects of our products?"
Netscape President Bucksdale has the loudest voice. He was recruited to join by Jim Clark a little later. At the same time, the main developers of JavaScript who entered Netscape, the talented programmer Brandon Aich, all got incentive options. The idea of doubling the issue price may have come from him, and it is in his personal interest. He is now desperately bragging about the correctness of this move to the underwriters, "We are the undoubted leader in the direction of the Internet, and we are the first. A purely listed Internet company owns the most important browser product in the ecology and has a very high market share. All World Wide Web users and companies cannot do without our products! Negroponte said in the article..."
"But you are not profitable. I only know that your professional version has insufficient sales stamina. Now discounts have begun in disguise, right? From $45 to $38..."
Morgan Stanley’s Quatson questioned: "And it is Bill Gates that you rejected! According to Microsoft's stock rally, next year, no! Maybe he will be the world's richest man after the Windows 95 operating system is launched in September!"
"Bullshxt!"
Jim Clark was unhappy. "He is just a successful businessman. No product from Microsoft is groundbreaking. MSDOS is bought. There are pioneers such as Xerox and Apple before the Windows operating system. Before Office is Lotus software..."
The implication now is that the SGI and Netscape pioneered by him are the authentic pioneers of technology. Song Ya is the first time to hear that they had contact with Microsoft in June and the talks fell apart. The shareholder himself did not know at all! Unhappy and silently walked to the corner of the big conference table with Dr. Chen to sit down in silence.
"So? You said that Gates is a winner!" Quatson said: "And many industry pioneers died ugly."
"With me, that wouldn't happen."
Jim Clark retorted: "We are on the right path. The Internet is the future. Windows is not."
"Everyone will rush to buy $28. Don't worry about Quatson." Bucksted helped, "What do you say? APLUS." He noticed the low-key Song Ya.
"Me? I don't understand much..."
Feeling all eyes cast in the crowded conference room, Song Ya smiled and shrugged.
"Go ahead, just tell your first feeling, intuition... Yes, we need your intuition, you have always been lucky." Jim Clark said.
The others laughed.
Are you teasing me again as the pig on the wind? Song Ya pursed his lips. For him, who wants to break through, this humble partnership is becoming more and more unpleasant, so he decided to be irritated, "I don’t know... if it’s my way of thinking, let’s just , Double and double, just set the issue price of fifty-six dollars directly."
There was a moment of silence in the meeting room, "We can't take Microsoft underestimate, especially when you and Bacchus have been talking about them for several months..." Quatterson chose to turn his head to continue the topic, and the meeting room immediately buzzed. There was a quarrel, no one would bother him.
"Fuck..."
After a meeting in the afternoon, Netscape and the underwriter failed to reach an agreement. The two parties broke up. In the evening, at Netscape’s reception for Wall Street investors, after performing his duties, Song Ya cursed and walked to the hotel parking lot. "Netscape these guys are all swelling too much. It's not a few days since they went public and they have to temporarily raise prices."
"The Americans respect science and technology heroes very much. They are now popular, Jim Clark, Mark Anderson, Brandon Aich, and even Buchsd who doesn't understand technology."
Dr. Chen laughed and said, "Don’t get to the boss, you can’t do much, just look on. We have all completed our negotiations with the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation. We must wait until Netscape on the 9th goes public. Is the capital injection agreement officially signed?"
"Well, Alicia still has her own trouble in Chicago, we have to wait for her." Song Ya opened the door and got into the car.
When the group returned to Tribeca's home, the downstairs living room was changed into a temporary war room for Netscape listing and capital injection of the Inner City Broadcasting Corporation.
"APLUS."
Ms. Sloan also arrived, chatting with Linda, "What's the matter? Are you in a bad mood?"
"Yeah, they made my head faint today. I have to get a good night's sleep. You guys should rest early. There should be nothing else to be busy in these two days."
