Chapter 17

In Henry's view, Netscape's listing is a little early indeed. In the previous life, Netscape's market value reached US $7.1 billion on the day of its listing, and exceeded US $20 billion at the end of that year. The current market value of Netscape is only over 500 million. Relatively speaking, it has lost some money. But in order to get a development fund, Henry had to do it. To make a choice between the future and the present, Henry thinks more about the future!

Small losses now, big profits in the future!

After obtaining 100 million yuan, Henry decided to reorganize Nicholas bookstore and set up Nicholas group company, which has Nicholas website, IMDB website and Netscape, a listed subsidiary. Nicholas's main business is not only selling books, but also gradually adding new products. The first attempt is video. With the influence of IMDB website, Nicholas company must be able to cooperate with film companies!

The establishment of IMDB website is just a bureau set by Henry, which is also the reason why Henry is eager to build a film website. Nicholas can't only sell books. It wants to develop. It wants to sell more things. It wants to become the largest integrated online retailer!

In addition, Nicholas group will set up a global online company to open online service functions, mainly providing e-mail, online browsing, and entertainment news.

Is AOL really awesome? Brother global online!!!

In terms of online browsing, with Netscape browser, global online has a congenital advantage.

In terms of entertainment news, the IMDB website will also give the world's online greatest help.

Now the only bad thing is email. In October 1969, the first e-mail appeared in the world. But now the e-mail is a mess, Henry is not used to it. What's more, this kind of e-mail can only be used at home or on the company's networked computer, which is equivalent to the binding of e-mail and computer!

Too inhuman, too unreasonable!!!

It has to be changed!

Henry called in his staff and emphasized two requirements on them.

First, e-mail must be a graphical interface, and the interface must be concise.

Second, users can manage accounts and send e-mail through Netscape browser.

Henry didn't want to make e-mail fancy and versatile. Now there are not many netizens. First of all, we have to give them the simplest and most needed things. Because the best email must not be the most functional email, but the most appropriate email!!!

In October, Nicholas group registered a subsidiary, global online, and registered its domain name.

The administration of domain names belongs to the U.S. government. Henry suddenly thought that in 1993, network solutions (NSI) signed a contract with the U.S. government and won the exclusive right to register. Com,. Org,. Net, three international top-level domain names. It seems that he can do the same. With this exclusive agency, NSI can charge a registration fee of $100 a year for each domain name, and it will have to charge a management fee of $50 a year after two years. What NSI makes is a lot of money. Think about how many domain names there will be on the Internet in the future. I'm afraid there will be tens of millions of domain names. If you charge a registration fee, you can earn hundreds of millions. Then you have to charge a management fee every year. It's better than selling blood and kidney!

Without saying a word, Henry sent people to negotiate with the relevant departments of the government.

This negotiation took the shortest time, and it was astonishing.

ten minutes!

Only ten minutes!

Henry sent his own counsel, will. When will went, he immediately explained his intention. The US government said that it could consider it, and then went on to talk about the issue of exclusive agency fee. The US government said that exclusive agency costs 100000 yuan for five years, 1 million yuan for 10 years, and 10 million yuan for 20 years. No matter how many years there are, it won't work. It seems that the US government also knows the importance of domain names.

Before he came, will had been authorized by Henry, one million in five years, ten million in ten years, and one hundred million in twenty years. But I didn't expect that the terms given by the American government were much lower than the price Henry thought!

In the interests of customers, will cut the price, but the U.S. government will not give in. In desperation, will had no choice but to negotiate this condition with the US government.

When Henry heard the news, he was very happy and urged the US government to sign the contract.

A week later, Henry and will signed a contract with the U.S. government. Henry naturally signed the sole agency for 20 years.

It can't be blamed for the low vision of the U.S. government. The total number of domain names is less than 1000, so it's hard to see the profit prospects.

Henry set up a company for this purpose, named "domain name management company", and then recruited two or three people to cope with the early development. After the establishment of the domain name management company, Henry had a small desire to register the domain names of the global top 500 companies and wait for them to buy them back from his own hands!

Henry was a little impulsive to think that in the future, a top-level domain name could be auctioned for tens of millions of dollars.

Henry has now set up a domain name management company. He doesn't have to pay any money to register his own domain name, nor does he have to pay the management fee. If he tries his best to register, it seems that he will soon become the richest man

Alas, it's a pity that this is the United States. The crime of monopoly is too serious. A careless person may be invited to tea.

Henry held back after all.

In fact, the establishment of the domain name management company can not only bring huge benefits to Henry, but also monitor the development of the global Internet! How many domain names are registered and how many websites are set up in the world? Henry knows all about it. It will play a huge role in his future layout!

……

Geely Hutt began to get in touch with the major Hollywood film companies and talk with them about selling videos online. Film companies can find one more way to sell, and naturally they are happy to see it. And because of the cancellation of the middleman link, even if the website sells cheap, but the major film companies actually earn more!

Geely Hutt has signed a long-term contract with them. The contract stipulates that Nicholas website obtains the exclusive right to sell the video tapes of six major film companies, and Nicholas website can get 1% rebate from each transaction, while Nicholas website has the duty to promote and publicize the video tapes of film companies.

Although the agreement is simple, in fact, the film companies just sit and collect money, and Nicholas website also has to establish a warehouse and logistics system, which does more than the film companies.

In November, Nicholas's website was officially revamped to launch a movie video. Combined with the IMDB website data, each video has a detailed introduction and pictures, as well as IMDB ratings and comments. On the IMDB website, Nicholas's website link will be given under each book.

Netscape browser also began to pop up, strongly recommend online movie videos!

Under the repeated bombing, Nicholas website performance fire.

One week's sales of movie and video tapes are amazing, reaching more than 20000. Sales of books also soared, with 4000 copies sold in a week.

Nicholas website took advantage of this fire, registered users exceeded 10000! In 1987, when there were not many Internet users, it was a very amazing number（ Vote...)
