The development of Noah's Ark is on the right track step by step.
The end of the year is approaching, and the annual financial statements of Henry's major companies have also been released.
Among them, Cisco's total sales in 1987 exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. Excluding various expenses, its annual profit has reached more than 30 million U.S. dollars. The financial deficit of Pixar Animation Studios is as high as 3.5 million US dollars, and the Nicholas Group (including Nicholas website, IMDB website, Netscape Browser, Nicholas Logistics, Global Online) is even more exaggerated, with a deficit of more than 40 million. Noah's Ark has a deficit of more than two million! The financial statements of the West German Publishing House are also out, with an annual profit of 19 million US dollars!
The difference between fiscal expenditures and income is called a deficit. Nicholas spends too much money this year. Build a warehouse, set up a logistics company, prepare to build a global online, advertise on TV, and add new products to the website. Before the end of the year, under the auspices of Geely Hutt, Nicholas' website successively added music tapes, shoes and clothing products. But when things are sold, Nicholas is basically losing money. Not only are online things cheap, plus website operating costs, warehouse fees, and logistics costs, Nicholas is actually at a loss!
Henry was not surprised after reading the financial statements.
It's nothing to lose money, because you lose money in the early stage of e-commerce. Without input, how can there be output? Besides, with the advent of the Internet era, Internet companies will be crazily sought after by investors! When I think of before the dot-com bubble, any website listed on the market can earn a lot of money! Henry felt that he could "raise a war with war", develop a website, and then go public. Develop another website, and then go public!
At the end of 1987, the market value of Netscape shocked many people! When it first went public, Netscape's market value had reached 500 million U.S. dollars. Now, Netscape's market value exceeds 2 billion. The Nicholas Group Corporation holds 77.5% of Netscape's shares. If you secretly sell shares on the stock market, Nicholas will have money. Therefore, Henry does not worry about not having money to burn at all!
"Chairman, your coffee." Helen brought a cup of coffee to Henry at this time.
"Thank you." Henry took a sip and asked, "Is your mother's disease better now?"
"Thank you for the chairman's concern, my mother is much better already!"
"That's good!" After Henry finished speaking, he saw Helen hesitating and couldn't help saying, "What's the matter with you, do you have anything to say?"
Helen hesitated, then bit her lip and asked Henry, "Chairman, Cisco is also your company?"
"Oh, yes, that's right!"
"Then... Cisco Charity Fund was also established by you?" Helen whispered, her pretty face gradually turning red.
"Yes it is!"
Henry just finished speaking, he saw Helen crying, rushing to hug herself: "Chairman, thank you for helping my mother, thank you!!!"
Henry felt that two sponges were squeezing him, unconsciously. But what was even more unexpected was that after Helen hugged Henry, he actually kissed him on the cheek. Henry was suddenly stunned, feeling that his face was covered by a moist and soft lips, and he felt a slight throbbing in his heart for no reason!
Helen herself was also shocked, her face flushed immediately, and she flew back to her office.
Henry looked at her back and smiled to himself: "Little girl film, dare to kiss me secretly!"
At noon, when Helen saw Henry, her face looked unnatural. When Henry looked at her, her face was instantly stained with sunset clouds.
Helen just turned 16 years old, but she is already 1.68 meters tall, and she is also very slender and full of charm. Although Henry was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was a little bit taller than Helen, about 1.7 meters. Since Helen did not wear high heels, the two walked together, and Henry was still taller. The company has its own canteen, Henry likes to eat with the company's people, which can also increase Henry's affinity and enhance the cohesion of the company!
Gilly Hutt sees the boss all go to the cafeteria to eat, why is he embarrassed to go to the hotel to eat! Henry's day in Nicholas, he usually accompanied Henry to dinner.
Today, Geely Hutt feels a little weird. He thought about it, oh, it turns out that Helen always asks some questions about work every day at noon, but today it is weird. He actually lowered his head and ate silently without saying a word!
"What happened to Helen today?" Geely Hutt asked curiously.
Where did Helen dare to answer, she only buried her head lower.
Henry smiled and said, "Hehe, it's nothing. Helen just passed her 16th birthday yesterday and is already an adult today!"
"Is Helen's birthday yesterday?" Jilly Hutt said.
"That's right! Auspicious, you haven't given Helen a birthday present yet."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Helen, I will buy you a birthday present tonight, otherwise, your little boss will definitely show me the color." Geely Hutt said with exaggerated expression.
"No, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it." Helen whispered.
"Why doesn't it matter? Geely, if you want to buy it, go and buy it now, and have to wait until the evening, are you sincere?" Henry said.
"That said, I'll go now!" Geely smiled, just as he finished eating, he could go to the mall not far away.
Geely Hutt was just about to leave, Henry called to him: "Geely, buy one for me, thank you!"
"..." Geely looked at Henry, speechless.
...
1988 is coming.
On January 1, this day, Global Online was officially launched!
As the world's first portal website, Global Online has a very simple interface and looks very clean.
The top of the website is a beautiful global online logo.
Then the following are the services provided by Global Online: e-mail, movie entertainment, news and information.
Below is a square grid, including the most popular websites at the moment. The Nicholas website ranks first!
Global online promotion is a bit "crazy", because whenever you open a Netscape browser, the homepage must be online globally! Moreover, there is no function of choosing the homepage by yourself in the "settings" of Netscape browser, that is to say, users don't even have the right to choose! Now Netscape browser is the portal to the Internet, and Global Online is also the portal site, with a dual monopoly. Henry sometimes feels that he does this. Isn't it too rogue?
However, what I provide to users is definitely the best. Since it's the best, why not be a rogue? When you become the "Internet Big Brother", you should naturally advocate "no hooligans, no bad things". Then build a security guard yourself! Whoever is rascal, I did it! !
If the name "Global Online" is a coincidence, no ghosts believe it!
Many people within Sequoia Capital have begun to jump. They invested 15 million US dollars in AOL at the beginning. Now AOL has grown to a certain scale and its users are much more than Nicholas. Since the online services they provide are exactly what netizens need today, such as email, news and information... and even they have begun to provide Internet access services, and their business has grown very rapidly.
Sequoia Capital and AOL are both vowed and agreed that AOL will be the next Netscape!
will also perform miracles on Nasdaq! !
Just when Sequoia Capital and AOL were dreaming, Global Online suddenly came and blocked them! !
On that day, the number of registered online users worldwide exceeded 2,000!
The next day, the number of online registered users worldwide exceeded 10,000!
On the third day, the number of registered online users worldwide exceeded 30,000!
On the fourth day, the number of registered online users worldwide exceeded 50,000!
One month later, the global online homepage announced a data: "There are 250,000 users accessing the Internet in the world, of which 240,000 are registered users of the global online!!!"
In addition to the role played by the mandatory homepage of Netscape browser, the global online has achieved such a "hanging sky" achievement. What is more important is that the services provided by the global online are well liked by netizens. Otherwise, others will not. Sign up!
Graphical interface e-mail is like an epoch-making thing, simple interface, simple operation, complete functions, and you can use e-mail on every computer connected to the network to manage your own account, instead of other e-mails. The computer is bound to an account. When it comes to movie entertainment and news information, Global Online also provides the latest and hottest entertainment news and current affairs news. Global Online has already spent more than two million yuan on only one item of recruiting editors to collect data.
All things are the best, the most practical, and the most interesting to netizens. Therefore, success should also be taken for granted!
The global online flag is triumphant and celebrate with champagne. In contrast, AOL's interior is depressed. In this month, the number of AOL users dropped rapidly, from 30,000 users at the beginning to less than 1,000.
Steve Case had a sullen face, sitting in the office smoking a cigarette, saying nothing.
Beside him, besides some senior executives of the company, there is also Ford Brook, a representative of Sequoia Capital.
Ford Brook's face is very ugly, no longer as proud of showing off Sequoia Capital's financing of AOL in front of Henry. He asked: "Steve, have you come up with a solution? Global Online has pointed its gun at us. If UURead www.uukanshu.com does not make an effective counterattack, AOL will be over!"
Steve Case squeezed out the cigarette **** and said coldly: "They have the Netscape browser to help them, and they occupy the first place. Therefore, our first goal is to get rid of this thorn in the eye! Otherwise, it will be difficult for AOL to compete. Globally online. Second, our emails have to be changed. They have graphical interface emails, we also do graphical interface emails, and the functions are the same. We have achieved these two points, and we will definitely Beat the global online!"
Steve Case obviously did not realize the true core competitiveness of global online. He thought it was just e-mail and Netscape. In fact, portals are the core competitiveness of global online! !
So, even if Steve Case did what he said, AOL would still be inferior to Global Online. What's more, Netscape and global online e-mail are not so easy to beat. E-mail is mainly used for communication and business. Few people will use several e-mail accounts. Besides, they don't want to change them after they are used to it. This is a human habit.
After waiting for the user to use the e-mail for a period of time, Henry will get the grading system out, log in once a day to gain a little experience, and open various value-added services after the upgrade. If you provide free cloud space, you can store files or pictures.
When Ford Brook heard what Steve Case said, he was shocked. This Steve Case was so bold that he dared to challenge the status of Netscape browser? !
