Chapter 14

The popularity of computers in the United States was relatively early. After Apple launched the first real personal computer in 1977, personal computers mushroomed in the United States. In the long 10 years of 1987, computers were no longer rare in the United States. At most, they were a slightly more expensive item, which many rich families bought. The only limitation to the popularity of the Internet is the development of network backbone!

The development of network backbone is obviously linked with interests!

In previous generations, Cisco only reluctantly launched the router in 1986, and the promotion speed was very slow. Naturally, those capitalists would not bother to invest a large amount of money to run the US science foundation network. But even so, in 1987, the number of hosts connected to the Internet exceeded 10000. Today, with Henry's participation, Cisco has developed rapidly. In 1985, Cisco has launched router products. After that, Sequoia Capital didn't take advantage of it. It raised 20 million yuan, and even increased the horsepower of Cisco. As a result, the US science foundation network developed faster and became more commercialized.

According to the data collected by Henry, there are 65000 computer users connected to the Internet in the United States, and there are more than 10000 private users in addition to school computers, governments, research institutions and companies. However, because of the profit, many large consortia are actively developing new commercial backbone networks!

IMDB is the most popular website in universities. Young people like movies and communication. IMDB provides them with this condition. On January 15, 1987, IMDB website gave luxojr. A cover tweet with beautiful and lovely pictures and vivid and interesting introduction. Many netizens expressed their interest in it after reading the information, with a comprehensive score of 90

In order to promote the animated short film, it is introduced in the materials that the protagonist of the film, Tiaodeng, is voiced by the famous genius novelist Henry Williams!

Henry Williams is almost a household name in the United States, n times more famous than Han Han and Guo Jingming in China《 Harry Potter series novels have sold more than 40 million copies, which is a very exaggerated figure. It's amazing. Moreover, he is only 12 years old now. If the media doesn't report and publicize him, if the people don't regard him as an American Idol, it's not America

IMDB website specially made an interview for Henry Williams. The interview content is mainly about the situation of the short film.

Henry naturally boasted that "Luxo Jr." was the best animation short film he had seen so far, and Pixar Animation Studio was the best team he had ever seen!

The media noticed Henry's news and immediately began to report it. IMDB website also appeared in the newspaper!

IMDB and luxojr. Used to be well-known only on the Internet, but now even people who don't surf the Internet know about it. Because of Henry, they are very curious about this gifted children's language. Just like chasing stars, they really want to know what he is doing. Now I know that he actually voiced an animated short film "Luxo Jr." and praised it as excellent. This undoubtedly makes most people curious about Luxo Jr.

"Luxo Jr." gradually became popular, and just in time to compete in the Oscar animation short film, which for "Luxo Jr." Award nominations to give a great help!

Shortly after that, Henry published his new book Jurassic Park, which was sold out immediately after it was published. The first 500000 copies printed by West German publishing house were sold out in one day, and then one million copies were printed immediately.

Jurassic Park shocked the whole country and immediately ranked the top of the best-selling list of American novels.

There are long lines outside bookstores in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and many other cities. Some people even have to wait two or three hours to buy books. The exaggeration shocked the media!

"Because of Jurassic Park, Los Angeles is in a traffic jam," the Los Angeles Times reported

"On this day, the United States only knows Jurassic Park," the New York Times reported

"There are times when Wall Street doesn't speculate in stocks, because they all queue up to buy books," the Wall Street Journal reported

Jurassic Park is a science fiction adventure novel. Dr. Hammond called on a large number of scientists to extract the genetic genes of dinosaurs from the blood of prehistoric mosquitoes condensed in amber. He revived the extinct 65 million year old prehistoric giant and made the whole nubla island a paradise for dinosaurs, namely Jurassic Park. But when Hammond took his grandson and granddaughter on their first tour, the dinosaurs got angry!!!

The American people are shocked by all kinds of fantastic ideas and adventures in Jurassic Park, and they admire Henry deeply. They can even think of such a story!

Not only did Henry's novels sell well, but their popularity also soared.

At the same time, people are more and more interested in Henry's animated short film "Luxo Jr." when they learn that "Luxo Jr." is competing in the Oscar for animated short film, they can't help expressing their support!

The Academy Awards judges themselves are very fond of "luxojr." now people are calling for the award of "luxojr." the Academy Awards judges pushed the boat with the water, and soon announced that "luxojr." was nominated for the Oscar animation short film!

After the news release, Pixar team immediately cheered up, opened the champagne, warmly celebrated!

Henry also attended the celebration, but it wasn't long before he left. They actually don't agree to drink by themselves, saying that children are not allowed to drink by American law. It's true that Chinese law is better

Henry didn't go home immediately. He went to West German press.

He is here to talk about a business.

Edward Joe, CEO and largest shareholder of West German publishing house, is smoking in his office at the moment, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Jurassic Park" is a popular book. Edward should be very happy, but he is in a trance at the moment, just like the cigarette end flickering and darkening! There was a knock outside the door, and a beautiful secretary came in. Edward ignored her beauty, or he was not in the mood to play with the hidden rules.

"Is Henry here?"

"Yes, I've been waiting for you in the reception room."

"OK, I'll be right there."

Edward Joe dressed and went out.

Henry drank his coffee slowly with a faint smile on his face.

Edward Joe forced a smile on his face as he entered the door. He held out his hand and said, "welcome, Henry!"

"Edward, don't you seem to welcome me very much?"

"Where is..."

Henry smiles, reaches for his hand, shakes it, and says, "Edward, since Jurassic Park has been a great success, let's discuss the issue of equity."

Before the publication of his new book, Henry signed an agreement with West German publishing house. If Jurassic Park succeeds again, West German publishing house will agree that Henry will take a 30% stake in West Germany, and the share price will be calculated according to the internal original shares. If Henry is successful, then Henry will become the largest shareholder of West German publishing house and Edward will become the second shareholder.

West German publishing house has more than ten shareholders, and Edward holds only 26% of the shares in West German publishing house. Henry's stake in West Germany is what the board of directors and shareholders are happy to see and always hope for. Only when the interests of the publishing house and Henry are firmly tied, can the publishing house make more money《 The popularity of Jurassic Park proves Henry's value even more!!!

But Edward Joe had his own caution. He worried that Henry would seize his position and shake his position on the board of directors after he became the largest shareholder of West German publishing house.

In fact, he is worried about nothing. Henry, a busy man, doesn't have the heart to manage the publishing house. He took a stake in West German publishing house just to lay out the internet entertainment media empire in the future. With the help of Henry, the West German publishing house is growing and has the potential to become a first-class publishing house.

In fact, Henry only needs to follow the agreement to become a shareholder of West German publishing house, without having to talk to Edward alone. But what Henry said was that he had to take the overall situation into consideration and stabilize the West German publishing house, so he told Edward: "Edward, although I am a shareholder of West German publishing house, I do not participate in the daily management of the company. Everything in the company is as usual!"

As soon as Edward heard this, he was very happy. He immediately warmed up and asked the female secretary to serve coffee.

"Henry, come on, have coffee, blue mountain!"

"..." Henry said nothing.

At the end of December last year, penguin and West German press settled the contribution fee for Henry, and got a total of $15 million. They sent $9 million to George Lucas, left $6 million, and left $4 million on his bank card. So Henry has 10 million dollars left.

West German publishing house is one of the best medium-sized publishing houses in the United States, and it is ready to go public. After going public, its market value is bound to exceed 100 million US dollars. But Henry shares, it is to buy the original shares! Ten million is enough to take 30% of the shares. Once the news of Henry's stake in the West German publishing house comes out, the share price of the West German publishing house will definitely increase by a large margin. Therefore, the shareholders of the West German publishing house are not at a loss.

Before any listed company goes public, it has to find some big companies to subscribe for shares. Why? It's not to give investors confidence and improve the stock price.

Look, so many powerful companies have bought the stock of this company, and the stock must go up!!!!

Henry still has a great influence in the publishing industry in the United States. Think about his age, think about his achievements! If Henry takes a stake in West German publishing house, it will mean that West German publishing house is completely different from before. Before, it just published Henry's novels, but other publishers may poach Henry at any time! But now it can't. once Henry is tied up with the West German publishing house, with Henry's genius, the West German publishing house is bound to soar.

This, shrewd investor is divided clearly!

Henry's $10 million can not be used to buy the shares of West German publishing house. He and West German publishing house have agreed to pay for the contributions of Jurassic Park in the future. So why did Henry sign an agreement with the publishing house before, after Jurassic Park was successful, Henry was allowed to take a stake in West Germany!!!

Henry and Edward talked for a while and then went home.

Soon after, West German publishing house began a roadshow to build momentum for its listing. Henry's stake in the West German publishing house was also widely publicized. As for the details of his stake, he did not tell the media（ Vote...)
