Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 261 Sweeping the American Market
On the day Wujiang Group gained access to the country M market, Wang Anshi, the head of the negotiation team, announced that the secret plans of country M that were hotly discussed on the Internet were all rumors.

As soon as this news came out, it once again sparked heated discussions across the Internet.

"Um, Wujiang Group even came forward to clarify the rumors for M country. Hehehe, believe it or not, I believe it anyway! Without further ado, I replaced my Windows system with a Hongmeng system!!!"

"Damn it, Wujiang Group must have reached a deal with Country M. If not, I'll run naked 20 laps in the school square!"

"Everyone sees it and doesn't tell it. In short, I will never use Microsoft and Apple's products in the future!"

"..."

Companies such as Microsoft and Apple have been pitted miserably.

Product sales plummeted.

What a disaster!
At this time, Wujiang Group began to enter the United States on a large scale. However, this time, Wujiang Group no longer chose to fight alone, but cooperated with some large American companies and tied them to the big ship of Wujiang Group.

Since the United States is still an ivp4 network, the computers, routers, switches and other products sold by Wujiang Group to the United States use dual-stack technology, and are equipped with two protocol stacks of IPV4 and IPV6.In this way, after using the products of Wujiang Group, American users can connect to the Internet with the whole world.

The adsl and optical cable of Wujiang Group are also the most needed products in the United States now, which can increase the speed of the Internet in the United States.

In addition, the network products of Wujiang Group have entered the United States on a large scale, which will also mean that web technology standards can be applied in the United States.

The American public can use the Internet Explorer to surf the Internet and browse websites.

Wujiang Group has developed a lot of very advanced web technologies, which are not comparable to the standard set in the United States.

The browser developed using web technology has fast response and complete functions.

The web site can design a better and more beautiful interface with rich functions.

Therefore, when the Borderless Portal entered the US market, many people felt that such sites as "AOL" were old-fashioned and rustic.

……

The U.S. branch of Wujiang Portal.

People from Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley and other investment companies came here to celebrate the establishment of the branch.

The head of the branch is also an American named Sally Alger.

"Alger, how does Borderless Portal develop to defeat America Online and other websites and become the largest portal in the United States? Has Mr. Zhao Ye proposed a plan?" Don Valentine asked.

Sally Alger nodded with a smile: "Mr. Zhao said that he wants to seize the American market and become No.1. Just two words will do!"

Don Valentine and others were immediately curious when they heard this.

"Which two words are they?" Everyone couldn't help asking.

Sally Alger replied: "FREE!!!"

"Free? What do you mean? What is free??" Many people were puzzled.

Sally Alger said: "Mr. Zhao said that only by winning the browser war can we use the help of the ie browser to promote the website! Moreover, the Wujiang Portal only supports web technology, and it must be opened with the help of the ie browser." Website! So, our first step plan is to provide ie browser download for 'free'!!!”

In this era, basically, most software is charged, including browsers.

The best browser currently available in the US is Netscape, which costs $45.

"IE browser" is simply a boon for prostitutes, who would refuse something that doesn't cost money?
Don Valentine and others couldn't help but be amazed when they heard this.

"The IE browser itself is much better than the Netscape browser. If it is free, then it's worth it? Don't all Internet users in the United States download the IE browser?!"

"This trick is absolutely brilliant! First monopolize the IE browser, and then bind the Wujiang Portal with the help of the IE browser, and you can quickly promote the Wujiang Portal!"

"..."

Don Valentine, Michael Pullman and others talked about it excitedly, but they didn't mention anything about the loss of IE browser benefits to Wujiang Group!

But it doesn't matter, Wujiang Group also wants to determine the monopoly advantage of the IE browser in the market through a free method.

The ie browser can now promote Wujiang Portal, and it can also be used to promote Baidu Engine or other websites in the future.

……

Three days later, Wujiang Group launched the free download channel of IE browser in the United States, and the IE browser can be downloaded through some third-party websites.

These websites have chosen to cooperate for traffic.

On the one hand, there are a large number of Internet users in the United States who want to download IE browser, which can bring traffic to the website; on the other hand, IE browser will also add their website on the homepage of the navigation website.

This is a win-win!

At this time, countless American netizens were suddenly pushed an advertisement while browsing the website.

[Wujiang Group promises: IE browser is free forever, welcome to download and use! ! ! 】

Good guy, people who saw this ad were immediately shocked by the news that the IE browser is permanently free!

"Damn it, this news is true and false, I'll try it quickly!"

As he said that, he clicked on the ad, and then the website directly jumped to the download interface of the IE browser.

A big "Download" sign is very conspicuous. When users see it, they can't help but click it directly.

After a while, the ie browser installation software will be downloaded, and then a prompt for automatic installation will pop up, just click "OK".

The ie browser is simple and beautiful, rich in functions and powerful, and American netizens love the ie browser.

"This ie browser can almost beat the Netscape browser, and its response speed is at least 1.5 times that of the Netscape browser! Moreover, the ie browser comes with a flash plug-in, and you can watch flash animations on the website. This is really true. Awesome!!!"

There is no doubt that the flash plug-in is of course also developed by Wujiang Group, and it was not developed until 1996 in the previous life.

The ie browser with the flash plug-in is simply not comparable to the Netscape browser.

Therefore, the borderless portal can also provide users with more colorful content, not only limited to text and photos, but also includes video, which is currently impossible for the AOL website.

In addition, Wujiang Portal also provides search engine (Baidu) services.

Baidu's powerful search engine has not only conquered Europe, but even Americans cannot resist its charm.

However, everyone has not seen the value of the search engine for the time being, and only thinks that it is just a small function of the Wujiang portal.

Needless to say, because Internet Explorer is free, it quickly became the most popular browser in the United States at a rocket-like speed, and its download volume was astonishing.

A week later, the number of users of IE browser surpassed the number of users of Netscape browser, becoming the number one in the United States.

Netscape was completely dumbfounded.

Stock price avalanche!

Clark, the boss of Netscape, had just returned from his honeymoon with his lover, only to find out that his company was going bankrupt.

At the beginning of the month, Netscape was listed on NASDAQ, creating an IPO miracle. Clark's net worth reached 5.66 million US dollars, which shocked the whole United States;

Falling from heaven to hell, Clark couldn't help feeling a little desperate.

why?
Why is my company dying so fast?

Then, in less than a month, the number of Netscape browser users was almost zero.

"Clark, why don't you transform quickly while the company still has money?" Anderson, an investor in Netscape, sighed and suggested that Netscape is losing money every day. If it continues, the company will be over.

Even if Netscape is free, it still cannot compete with Internet Explorer.

The technical advantage of the ie browser is too powerful!
Clarke was full of despair, and sighed: "I now truly understand that an Internet company is only 30 days away from bankruptcy! Anderson, you are right, it is time for our Netscape company to transform!"

IE browser is free, Clark is really helpless.

Sue Internet Explorer?
It is free software, so even if I file a lawsuit, I may not be able to win. Even if I can win, this lawsuit will take a long time. By then, the grass on Netscape's grave will be more than one meter high.

Moreover, the IE browser is also bound to the Hongmeng system, and the Netscape browser is simply a gnawing tree.

The moment the U.S. allowed Wujiang Group to enter the U.S. market, the fate of Netscape was already doomed.

Clark is in a lot of pain now, and if it were in China, it would be inevitable to say "Since Shengyu, He Shengliang".

……

At this time, it is not only Netscape that is sadly reminded, but of course there are a large number of American portals such as America Online.

The borderless portal almost directly dominates the entire American Internet in a hegemonic manner!
As the saying goes, "Foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures." Before America Online was popular, the Wujiang portal website had become popular all over the world. I am full of curiosity and anticipation for the Borderless Portal.

The Wujiang Portal beats the AOL website in every aspect, and it is natural for it to become popular in the United States.

Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley and other shareholders of more than a dozen Wujiang portal websites were extremely excited. They never expected that Wujiang portal website would seize the No.1 market share so quickly after entering the US market!
"It's really beyond my expectations. The Wujiang Portal has become the most popular portal in the United States so quickly! The operation ability of the Wujiang Group is really scary!"

"The Borderless Portal has too many advantages, and other websites can't compete at all! I heard that America Online is developing a brand new portal based on web technology, but this is obviously a step behind."

"Yeah, Steve Case probably never imagined that the borderless portal would grab users so fast!!"

"Actually, this also shows that Wujiang Portal is very popular with American users, so it is the best time for Wujiang Portal to list on Nasdaq. What do you think?"

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, it is indeed a good opportunity to go public, and I support it!"

"..."

At this moment, everyone decided to strike while the iron was hot and promote Wujiang Portal to be listed on Nasdaq.

Zhao Ye also supports the listing of the Wujiang portal.

Only after Wujiang Portal goes public can it raise a large amount of funds and contribute to Wujiang Group.

In addition, once the IPO of Wujiang Portal is successful, it will definitely stimulate the entire Internet industry and make the entire industry go crazy!
Under Zhao Ye's instruction, Wujiang Portal CEO Tang Letong began to discuss the IPO with the investors of the website.

……

After the first quarter of this year, the revenue of Wujiang Group has increased significantly.

Liu Yinyin handed the financial statement to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye took a look, and couldn't help showing surprise on his face.

Liu Yinyin said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, since the US authorities have completely released Wujiang Group's products from entering the US market, countless US users have started retaliatory consumption! In just over a month, we have created more than 350 billion US dollars in the US revenue!!!”

"However, in order to restrict our products, the United States raised tariffs very high, which caused us to lose a lot of profits." Liu Yinyin sighed slightly, feeling sorry.

Zhao Ye smiled. If the United States does not raise tariffs, the products of Wujiang Group can kill many American companies.

"The tariff issue will be resolved in the future, and I am satisfied to be able to enter the US market for the time being. However, as the saying goes, 'the wool comes from the sheep', the tariffs are high, and the Americans themselves will pay for it in the end. Many products of our Wujiang Group , Americans simply can't refuse..."

"By the way, quickly let Alibaba, Amazon, Taobao, Alipay, Netflix Netflix video rental website, Pandora Pandora music website, Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb Internet Movie Database and other websites enter the US market!!! With the help of ie browser and borderless portal With the help of the website, these websites can be quickly developed!" Zhao Ye confessed, "In addition, there are multiple game platforms, mainly the Battle.net competitive platform and the Steam game platform!"

"Okay, Director Zhao!" Liu Yinyin nodded, expressing her understanding.

Zhao Ye thought about it and felt that there was nothing negligent, so he let Liu Yinyin leave.

At this time, the United States actually already has websites similar to the above, after all, Americans will also engage in plagiarism.Because the websites that Zhao Ye just mentioned did not enter the US market in the first place, the same type of websites in the United States occupied the market share, and the competition pressure was very high.

Zhao Ye is also not confident that he can beat his competitors 100% in the US market.

In order for these websites to win the competition, they must get strong support from capital. This support is not limited to funds, but also includes various personal connections and power, etc., which can solve various troubles for the websites.

Zhao Ye has also seen it now, and does not insist on eating alone. As long as the dual shareholding system and AB share system are implemented, it will be difficult for others to take away the control of the company.

As long as it makes good use of the Internet bubble, Wujiang Group can cash out a large amount of funds and then use them in technology research and development. This is a good opportunity to grow itself.

April Fool's Day, April 1995, 4.

Zhao Ye asked someone to release the news that Alibaba, Amazon, Taobao, Netflix, Netflix, Pandora, and Rotten Tomatoes were all going to raise funds!

As soon as this news came out, major investment banks around the world were shocked.

"Today is April Fool's Day, the news is not fake, right?" Many people expressed doubts.

Well, maybe the surprise came too suddenly, I can't believe it!

Zhao Ye really couldn't laugh or cry at this time. He had been answering the phone all day, and many international investment companies called one after another, almost all asking whether the news was true...
