Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 221 Financing
After the Wujiang Group press conference, people in Europe have gone to Tenglong Internet Cafe to experience the joy of surfing the Internet.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Ye bragged about the global Internet at the press conference, and he was indeed right.Because although the submarine cable between Asia and Europe has not yet begun to be laid, there are still other ways to connect Asia to Europe.

As early as September 1987, China's first e-mail was sent from the capital to the University of Karlsruhe in Germany.At this time, there is also no Asia-Europe submarine cable.

However, because there is no Asia-Europe submarine cable, the network speed between Asia and Europe will be very slow.

……

At this time, the United States is convening technology companies, thinking about how to deal with Wujiang Group.

Zhao Ye and Wujiang Group will naturally not sit still.

In fact, Zhao Ye had already figured out a countermeasure.

Between countries, interests come first.

It would be good if the Wujiang Group gave the profits to other countries.

Zhao Ye attached great importance to localization at the beginning of website development.

Therefore, almost every website is independent in every country. For example, "China Alibaba Internet Cafe" is independent from "British Alibaba Website", "Germany Alibaba Website", and "French Alibaba Website". The content is the responsibility of local staff.

Zhao Ye is very clear that at the beginning of the development of the website, it was very expensive.

Moreover, in order to win over the dignitaries of various countries to support Wujiang Group, the major local websites will inevitably need financing.

At the press conference, Zhao Ye bragged about the Internet, just to make everyone interested in the Internet and the website, and then to raise funds!

Thanks to Wujiang Group's layout in Internet cafes, users in China, Europe, and Southeast Asia can enjoy a good online experience.

The traffic of major websites increased sharply for a while.

There is traffic and it can be realized.

At present, the main way to monetize traffic is advertising.

It's just that Zhao Ye has no intention of making the website profitable for the time being, and will start commercializing it after the website traffic is higher, so as to make it a blockbuster.

The surge in website traffic is mainly due to Tenglong Internet Cafe.

At this time, although the Tenglong Internet Cafe has been connected to the Internet, the price of the computer has only increased by two to three yuan, which is acceptable to many people.

What makes users most happy is being able to log in to the "Battle.net Competitive Platform" and play against other players.The European Internet covers almost the entire European region.

The "Battle.net Competitive Platform" marks the player's identity, allowing other players to see which country he is from.

Isn't it more exciting to kill players from other countries?
You know, since ancient times, Europe has often erupted in scuffles with each other.

As long as the "Battle.net Competitive Platform" is given a little guidance, players from various European countries will be able to play pig brains with each other.

……

"The popularity of "Shenzhou Computer 2", "iBook 1 laptop" and "Hongmeng OS 2.0" is exploding, and almost the whole of Europe is crazy about it!According to a reporter's report, Wujiang's flagship store is overcrowded every day. "

"" Tenglong Internet Cafe is full of customers every day, it is making money every day, I am really envious of others! "

"More than that, there is an endless stream of customers going to Wujiang's ISP company. Tens of thousands of people are queuing up and waiting to install the network!"

"Wujiang Group is making a lot of money this time. Who would have thought that ISP Internet access service providers can make so much money! In my opinion, almost every family will be involved in the Internet in the future. This industry definitely has great potential for development! Alas, what a pity That's it, let the Wujiang Group take the lead again!"

In Europe, even many rich and powerful people always show envy when they talk about the Internet.

There are also people who want to get involved in the ISP industry, but it is a pity that the Internet backbone network is built by Wujiang Group. If they rebuild the backbone network, it will cost a lot of money and take a long time.In addition, Wujiang Group has also signed an exclusive agreement with fixed-line companies, which means that Wujiang Group has monopolized the "last mile".On this issue, other ISP companies simply cannot break through the situation.

If you lay fiber optic cables yourself and provide "fiber-to-home" services to the public, but this is too expensive and does not have a price advantage at all, how can you compete with Wujiang ISP?
Finally, in terms of technology, they have no advantage.

Therefore, some people who intend to enter the ISP industry soon find that this road is simply a dead end.

Unless you cooperate with Wujiang isp company.

Wujiang isp company has entered the period of barbaric and crazy explosive growth at this time.

However, if you want to expand quickly, you must invest more money.

The United States is wooing other countries to support the ivp4 network standard. Therefore, Zhao Ye needs to develop the ipv6 network faster to beat the slow, resulting in the established fact: when the scale of the ivp6 network has become very large, it will be changed at this time, causing the network to be paralyzed. It will inevitably cause turmoil in the local country. At that time, who will listen to the words of country M and harm the interests of their own country?

European countries also have their own interests. Well, they don't completely follow the lead of country M.

Therefore, Zhao Ye wants to promote the development of the ipv6 network as soon as possible. This requires Wujiang ISP company to raise funds, and also has requirements for investors, preferably local dignitaries. They must have great influence in this country.

Zhao Ye needs to bind more partners to the carriage of Wujiang Group!

If the interests are the same, they will take the initiative to help Wujiang Group solve the problem.

……

……

a.

Borderless Group.

Zhao Ye carefully read the relevant documents about the European Wujiang ISP company and major websites.

He immediately called an executive meeting.

"In order to promote the development of the ivp6 network standard, the Wujiang ISP company in Europe needs to raise funds. Immediately, there will be news that the European Wujiang ISP company will launch a round of financing!!!" Zhao Ye said loudly.

"Boss, how many shares do we want to sell?" Lu Maoshi asked.

Zhao Ye thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Too little, they are not interested; too much, and we will lose too much. We will only sell 30% of the shares in the A round of financing! However, we can promise them that they can Enjoy the priority of subsequent rounds of financing!"

"The transfer of 30% of the shares in the A round of financing is quite a lot!" Lu Maoshi nodded, and immediately asked, "Boss, how much will the other party pay for the 30% of the shares?"

"Your investment department should study this, negotiate a price, and let me judge!" Zhao Ye thought for a while, and then said.

"Okay, boss!" Lu Maoshi nodded.

Zhao Ye said again: "The website companies in Europe also need to raise funds, probably after the ISP company raises funds. You have to be prepared, provide information, and strive to raise the market value a bit!"

"En!" Lu Maoshi nodded again.

Zhao Ye looked at Liu Yinyin and asked, "How is the situation in the United States?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yinyin replied without hesitation: "The United States is discussing the development of the 'information superhighway construction' plan. In addition, the major technology companies in the United States seem to be planning to develop browsers and websites, but they do not intend to use the WWW World Wide Web standard, but plan to Redeveloping another standard..."

Wujiang Group has already announced that the WWW World Wide Web will be permanently free, but it did not expect that the American scientific and technological community would still plan to develop another standard.

However, it doesn't matter.

Wujiang Group has been leading the world for several years, and it is not easy for the United States to catch up.

"Okay, I see. Continue to send people to keep an eye on the movement over there. Now let's talk about the development of the domestic Internet!"

Zhao Ye said slowly, "According to recent survey reports, the domestic Internet is developing rapidly. In just over a week, the number of Internet users in our country has exceeded 100 million. Most of the Internet users come from Internet cafes.

At present, there are only 8 users who actively subscribe to Internet services, but the development trend is very good. "

Currently, Internet users are mainly enterprises, universities, research institutions, and government units, and there are fewer ordinary families.

Here, we must first mention the adsl technology developed by Wujiang Group. This is an asymmetrical digital subscriber line with the characteristics of high downlink speed, wide frequency bandwidth and excellent performance. Efficient access method.

It is a new high-speed broadband technology running on the original ordinary telephone line, which can reach a downlink speed of 8 Mbps and an uplink speed of 1 Mbps.

1Mbps=128kb/s.

Downlink speed is also commonly referred to as download speed.

8Mbps is already a lot.

This kind of network speed can be used to browse websites and even watch movies online.

However, in practical applications, the download speed does not reach this level, usually only 60kb/s to 80kb/s.

It's good enough for watching movies online.

However, adsl broadband is cheap, users do not need to lay fiber optics to enter the home, they can use telephone lines, and then use a borderless ADSL.

The initial network installation fee for using ADSL is only 800 RMB (with ADSL modem equipment), and the monthly network fee is 100 RMB, which is a one-time payment for one year, which is 2000 RMB.

The above is ADSL broadband, and the other is fiber-to-the-home.

The cost of fiber-to-the-home is higher, and the installation fee is as high as 5000 yuan, but fortunately, it is "three-in-one", that is to say, families with "fiber-to-the-home" can make fixed-line calls, watch TV and surf the Internet.

Although expensive, but cost-effective.

You know, in the early 90s, it cost 3000 yuan to install a fixed line!
Now you only need 5000 yuan to enjoy three services, which is naturally more cost-effective.

It's just that it is not so easy for ordinary families to spend so much money at once.

And, that's not counting the monthly service fee.

Ordinary families generally will not choose "fibre-to-the-home" for the time being.

Although there are more and more households with ten thousand yuan in China, computers are very expensive, plus installation fees and service fees, it is not a small sum.

To make the Internet popular in China, on the one hand, it is necessary to reduce the installation fee and service fee, and on the other hand, the price of the computer must be lowered. How many people can afford a computer that costs tens of thousands of dollars?
At present, the main purpose of developing the Internet in China is to open more Tenglong Internet cafes to allow more people to access the Internet.

Zhao Ye had a long meeting with everyone.

Discuss some of the problems encountered and work together.

For example, as the number of netizens increases and the traffic of the website increases, the number of servers will definitely need to be increased in the future.Data centers consume a lot of power and have certain requirements on the environment.At this time, domestic electricity is actually a bit insufficient, and many rural areas are not connected to electricity.

Another example is that the development of e-commerce websites has not been as smooth as imagined. The public is still skeptical about online shopping and dare not conduct transactions. Furthermore, the transportation is inconvenient, many roads are difficult to walk, and the logistics speed is too slow, which affects the user experience. etc.

At the meeting, everyone raised dozens of issues that urgently needed to be resolved.

……

……

European region.

As Wujiang Group released rumors, it said that it would allow European Wujiang ISP companies to raise funds.

This news immediately caused a sensation all over the world.

The rapid development of the Internet has made people see the potential of the ISP industry.

Investing in the Wujiang ISP company is simply a guaranteed profit.

Soon, many investment companies, large enterprises, and European wealthy families contacted Wujiang Group to express their investment intentions.

Even financial companies on Wall Street in the United States have sent people to contact Wujiang Group.

You should know that Wujiang ISP supports the ivp6 network standard and the WWW World Wide Web standard.

The United States wants to set another set of standards, which is undoubtedly to compete with Wujiang Group.

And these people on Wall Street don't care about this...

Paris France.

Lu Maoshi came to Europe and was fully responsible for the A-round financing of European Wujiang ISP company.

At this moment, the person sitting opposite him is the representative of Goldman Sachs Group, named Dennis Toynby.

"Mr. Dennis Toynby, you must be very clear that Wujiang Group is now in a competitive relationship with the US technology industry. Why does Goldman Sachs invest in European Wujiang ISP company?" Lu Maoshi asked.

Dennis Toynby smiled and said: "Capital has no borders. Our Goldman Sachs Group is a large international investment company, and we are willing to invest in anything that can make money! Frankly speaking, our Goldman Sachs Group invested in AOL in the United States." ! We don’t care about ipv6, ivp4 or WWW, we Goldman Sachs Group invests in the entire track!!!”

Lu Maoshi was stunned when he heard the words, slightly surprised.

If you invest in the entire track, no matter who wins in the end, Goldman Sachs will make a lot of money.

After a while, Lu Maoshi said that he would seriously consider Goldman Sachs and would notify Goldman Sachs when there was news.

After sending Dennis Toynby away, Lu Maoshi called Zhao Ye.

After the call was connected, Lu Maoshi reported the situation to Zhao Ye, and then asked whether he would accept investment from American capital.

Goldman Sachs is very courageous~
Zhao Ye was a little surprised, and then fell into deep thought. After a while, he said to Lu Maoshi: "We can accept investment from American capital, but the share should not be too high, and the capital from Europe is the main one. However, Goldman Sachs Group is fine." , has already invested in an American ISP company, and will not be of one mind with us, you can choose a company with strong strength, but has not invested in an American ISP company, and ask it to help lobby the authorities in the United States to support Wujiang Group's standards!"

"Okay, boss, I understand!" Lu Maoshi nodded when he heard the words.

Lu Maoshi couldn't help laughing when he thought that Dennis Toynby, the representative of Goldman Sachs Group, said proudly that Goldman Sachs Group invested in the entire track.

Grass on the wall, the worst thing.

What Wujiang Group needs is a strategic partner who can firmly stand on its side.

PS: more updates tomorrow.
