Chapter 3815

John doll!

One of the most influential, creative and unconventional venture capitalists in the United States, known as the "king of venture capital". He has created as much as $100 billion in economic value in just 10 years. So far, he has invested more than $1.3 billion in 250 U.S. technology companies, creating more than 192000 jobs. And the companies he invests in are all the most influential high-tech companies today, such as Google, sun, Compaq, Amazon, Netscape, intuit, lotus, etc. of course, there is also Lin Feng's target - Symantec.

Surprisingly, Lin Feng thought he was going to visit John dur in New York. Unexpectedly, John dur was in Cupertino. This really surprised Lin Feng. And to Lin Feng's visit, John - duel is also very happy, in the Cupertino downtown coffee shop made an appointment with Lin Feng.

"Hi, Mr. dur, I beg your pardon for my presumptuous visit!" Lin Feng said with a smile. Facing the most famous American venture capitalist, Lin Feng is not so direct and straightforward. Otherwise, if you are too direct and enthusiastic, you will be killed severely.

"Mr. Lin, it's too late to see you at last." Dole sighed, "if only I could have known you a few years earlier."

Lin Feng's eyebrows moved slightly.

"Ha ha, when I met you a few years ago, I could invest in your" second world "and other companies under your command. How much profit would I get now? Unfortunately, it's too late to meet you! " Dole looked sorry.

Lin Feng smiles. But that's a good beginning.

"Mr. dur, it was late before, but not this time. I want to acquire Symantec, but Mr. duel is a major shareholder of Symantec. What does Mr. duel think? " Asked Lin Feng.

Du Er smiles, but does not answer this topic. Instead, he talks about the dispute between "Fuxi" and "iPhone".

"Mr. Lin, I just came out of apple and met Steve jobs. He was very confident about the iPhone and advised me to buy more Apple shares. What do you think of your Fuxi?" Dur asked, "do you think it's better for me to invest in second world now or apple? Now outside investors are wandering, I don't know which company to bet on. "

Lin Feng's eyes picked. This duel is smart enough. No matter who wins the bet, the shares of the winner will rise sharply. After all, these two mobile phones will change the world. But who is going to win? This makes people hesitant. As one of the most famous venture capitalists in the United States, duel holds a lot of technology stocks and is a director of Google, intuit, Amazon and sun. So he can go to apple to see jobs. If you don't make an appointment with him, I'm afraid he will come to see you. Because if he invests in any company, it will attract some investors. For the company, it can also promote the rise of its stock.

"Ha ha, Mr. dur, if you ask me, I will naturally say it's my Fuxi. But I have a better suggestion, which can make you a profit. However, there is a saying in China called "reciprocate", so I hope Mr. dur can seriously consider the merger of Symantec. " Lin fengxiao said.

Symantec. Lin Feng mentioned Symantec again and again, and dur finally put his mind on the deal, and he became serious.

"Mr. Lin, Symantec is developing very well now, and there is no financial problem. I don't think Symantec needs financing. Now you are interested in it, but how can you convince me? " Du Er looks at Lin Feng curiously.

He is just a venture capitalist. At the beginning of the development of Symantec, when he was in financial difficulties, he bought most of the shares and became the largest shareholder. However, he never interfered in the management of Symantec and never interfered in any decision of Symantec. He is doing what a venture capitalist should do. He only invests to earn profits, but does not interfere in management. Let the person who is most suitable for management manage it and make money by himself. Therefore, for duel, there is no psychological obstacle to sell Symantec. The only reason why he decided to sell and stay was profit.

Lin Feng wants to buy Symantec, no problem. Then tempt him with profit! He couldn't refuse.

"Mr. dur, what do you think of the future of Symantec?" Lin Feng asked, "maybe you think Symantec will continue to be successful and continue to acquire companies to strengthen itself and become" Microsoft "of anti-virus protection, or start from anti-virus protection and spread to other fields to become one of the largest software companies in the world. This is a wonderful prospect. If we follow the previous development model of IT industry, it is very possible. But now times have changed. The rise of the Internet has revitalized the computer industry, but at the same time, it has long predicted its death

Dur frowned. Lin Feng's words are a little alarmist. This should be a "poison" for the purpose of acquiring Symantec. I hope I can sell Symantec to him cheaply. If Lin Feng thinks that he can deceive himself with just a few words, he is very wrong.

"Mr. dur, perhaps you think I'm lying to you. But I want to say that the rise of the Internet era has brought not only the prosperity of the computer industry, but also the prosperity of the mobile phone industry. Mobile phones are no longer just communication tools. Mr. dur, the mobile era is really coming Lin Feng said.

Mobile era! Dur muttered to himself.

"Yes, in the mobile age‘ The launch of "Fuxi" and "iPhone" will open the mobile era. In a few years, people will no longer rely on computers to browse the Internet, chat and send e-mails. Everything will be realized on mobile phones. The mobile phone industry will continue to boom, while the computer industry will be depressed. Symantec may continue to be brilliant, but if it does not enter the mobile era, then the future of Symantec will gradually decline. " Lin Feng sighed.

Of course, Lin Feng's words are more or less exaggerated. With the advent of mobile era, the decline of computer industry is inevitable, but although computers will decline, they will not die out. Computers will always exist, but in the future, it is no longer necessary for every household to buy a computer, but to buy a mobile phone with enough powerful functions. Because mobile phones can replace computers in many fields. But in the professional field, computers are indispensable. For example, the major Internet companies, their databases, must rely on computers to operate.

In Lin Feng's view, when mobile phones are powerful enough and mobile software is enough to make people do everything on mobile phones, computers may disappear from ordinary families and only appear in companies. For a company like Symantec, its main business will be in the company.

"Mr. dur, there will be no place for Symantec in the mobile phone market in the future. If we lose this vast market, the profits brought by the company alone will never be much better than now. Only by entering the mobile phone market, can Symantec usher in real glory. Now only I can give Symantec such an access port. It is impossible for other companies to give Symantec this access port. " Lin Feng said confidently.

Apple's "iPhone" is a completely independent closed system. It doesn't need anti-virus software at all, because any software that enters the "apple" platform will be tested by "apple". It's impossible to enter its "Apple store" to sell toxic software. Since there is no poison, how can Symantec come to the market. The data protection, mobile phone's inherent portability and entertainment, data protection market is also extremely limited. For example, in terms of online transactions, as a third-party payment, it also has its own security measures and does not need Symantec. Therefore, companies like Symantec are extremely confused in the mobile era.

But Lin Feng's "Fuxi" is different. It uses the "Pangu" system, which can be directly connected with computers. Although Pangu is a closed system, it is not a completely closed system like IOS, and it is open source. As long as the third-party software company approved by Lin Feng has passed the qualification assessment of "second world", it can freely develop software for users to download. In short, this is equivalent to the "iPhone" prison break system, which is just an official prison break. Therefore, "Fuxi" has a position in the anti-virus protection market. Of course, all users of the Pangu system can also choose not to "escape", that is to say, they can only download software from the official Pangu store instead of downloading software from the third-party market. That way, they will not be poisoned. This is the same as IOS.

"Mr. dur, the future belongs to the mobile era, so it's up to you to miss this era!" Lin Feng said with a smile, waiting for duel's reply. As a venture capitalist, Lin Feng believes that duel is still far sighted. He should be able to see the craziness of the mobile age of the future.

Dur thought in silence.

"Mr. Lin, I am a venture capitalist and I am willing to invest. If you can maximize my interest in this bet, then I am willing to believe that the curtain of mobile era will open, and Symantec needs such an access port as you. " Doyle smiles like a fox.

Interest, what he pursues is only interest. And if Lin Feng can prove that he won the bet, it doesn't matter whether there is a mobile era. If we cooperate with Lin Feng, we can win as well.
