Chapter 22

The development of Noah's Ark is on the right track step by step.

With the coming of the year-end, the annual financial statements of Henry's major companies have been published one after another.

Among them, Cisco's total sales exceeded 100 million US dollars in 1987, and its annual profit has reached more than 30 million US dollars except for various expenses. Pixar Animation Studio has a deficit of 3.5 million US dollars, while Nicholas group (including Nicholas website, IMDB website, Netscape browser, Nicholas logistics company, global online) is even more exaggerated, with a deficit of more than 40 million US dollars, and Noah's Ark has a deficit of more than 2 million US dollars! The financial statements of West German publishing house also came out, with an annual profit of 19 million US dollars!

The difference between fiscal expenditure and revenue is called a deficit. Nicholas spent too much money this year. Build warehouses, set up logistics companies, prepare to build 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 has added music tapes, shoes and clothing products. But when things are sold, Nicholas basically loses money and earns money. Online things are not only cheap, but also the operating expenses, warehouse fees and logistics fees of the website. Nicholas actually loses money!

After reading the financial statements, Henry was not surprised.

Losing money is nothing. In the early stage of e-commerce, we all lose money. No input, no output? Besides, with the advent of the Internet era, Internet companies will be wildly sought after by investors! When you think of the Internet bubble, you can make a lot of money by listing a random website. Henry felt that he could "support the war with war", develop a website, and then go public. Develop a website again, appear on the market again next!

At the end of 1987, the market value of Netscape has shocked many people! When it first went public, Netscape had a market value of $500 million. Now, Netscape's market value has exceeded 2 billion. Nicholas group holds 77.5% of Netscape's shares. If you sell your shares in the stock market, Nicholas will be rich. So Henry didn't worry about having no money to burn!

"Your coffee, chairman." Helen brought a cup of coffee to Henry.

"Thank you." Henry took a sip and asked, "is your mother well now?"

"Thank you for your concern. My mother is much better!"

"That's good!" When Henry finished, he saw that Helen wanted to stop talking and said, "what's the matter with you? Do you have anything to say?"

Helen hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and asked Henry, "Chairman, is Cisco also your company?"

"Oh, yes, that's right!"

"So... Did you set up the Cisco charity fund?" Helen whispered, her pretty face turning red.

"Yes

As soon as Henry finished, Helen burst into tears and hugged herself: "Chairman, thank you for helping my mother, thank you!"

Henry felt that there were two sponges pressing against him, which made his heart beat. But more unexpectedly, after hugging Henry, Helen gave him a kiss on the face. When Henry was shocked, he felt that his face was covered with a moist and soft lip, and he didn't feel a trace of palpitation in his heart!

Helen herself is also a sudden surprise, immediately flushed, like flying back to his office.

Henry looked at her back and said with a smile: "little girl, how dare you kiss me!"

At noon, when Helen saw Henry, her face became unnatural. When Henry looked at her, her face was tinged with sunset.

Helen has just turned 16 years old, but she is 1.68 meters tall and slim. Although Henry was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was a little taller than Helen, about one meter seven. Because Helen didn't wear high heels, they walked together and Henry was 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!

Geely Hutt saw that the boss went to the canteen for dinner. How could he go to the hotel for dinner himself! One day when Henry was in Nicholas, he usually had dinner with him.

Today, Geely Hutt feels a little weird. He thought about it, oh, Helen always asked some questions about her work when she had lunch every day, but today she was so strange that she had to eat with her head down and not say a word!

"What happened to Helen today?" Geely Hutt asked curiously.

Helen didn't dare to answer, only buried her head lower.

Henry said with a smile: "ha ha, nothing. Helen just celebrated her 16th birthday yesterday, and today she is an adult! "

"Yesterday was Helen's birthday“ Geely Hart road.

"Yes! Geely, you haven't given Helen a birthday present

"Oh, I'm sorry, Helen. I'll buy you a birthday present tonight. Otherwise, your boss will show me the color." Geely Hutt said with an 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 now, you have to wait until evening. Are you sincere? " Said Henry.

"That's true. I'll go now!" Geely said with a smile, just as he finished his meal, he could go to the shopping mall not far away.

As soon as Geely Hutt was ready to leave, Henry called out to him, "Geely, buy me one, too. Thank you."

"Geely looked at Henry, speechless.

……

1988 is coming.

On January 1st, on this day, global online officially launched!

As the first portal in the world, global online has a very simple and clean interface.

At the top of the website is a beautiful global online logo.

Then here are the services offered by global online: email, movies, entertainment, news and information.

Next is a square grid, including the most popular websites. Nicholas website stands out in the first place!

The promotion of global online is somewhat "Crazy", because if you open Netscape browser, the home page must be global online! And the Netscape browser's "Settings" do not have the function to choose the home page, that is to say, users do not even have the right to choose! Now Netscape browser is the gateway to the Internet, and global online is the portal website, with double monopoly. Sometimes Henry also thinks that he would be too hooligan to do so?

However, what you provide to users is absolutely the best. Since it's the best, why not be a hooligan? When you become the "big brother of the Internet", you should naturally advocate "no hooligans, no bad things". Then build a security guard yourself! Who is a hooligan, I will do it!!!!

If the name "global online" is a coincidence, ghosts don't believe it!

Many people in Sequoia Capital have started to jump. They invested 15 million US dollars in AOL at the beginning. Now AOL has developed to a certain scale, and its users are much more than Nicholas website. Because the online services they provide are just what the current netizens need, such as e-mail, news and information... Even, they have begun to provide access to the network services, and their business is growing very fast.

Sequoia Capital and AOL have vowed that AOL will be the next Netscape!

The same will be performed in the NASDAQ miracle!!!

Just when Sequoia Capital and AOL are dreaming, global online suddenly comes and blocks them!!!

On that day, the number of online registered users in the world exceeded 2000!

The next day, the world's online registered users exceeded 10000!

On the third day, the number of online registered users in the world exceeded 30000!

On the fourth day, the number of online registered users in the world exceeded 50000!

A month later, the global online home page released a data: "there are 250000 Internet users all over the world, of which 240000 are global online registered users!"

In addition to the compulsory homepage of Netscape browser, the global online has achieved such a great success. What's more, the service provided by the global online is deeply liked by netizens. Otherwise, no one else will register!

Graphical interface e-mail is like an epoch-making thing. It has simple interface, simple operation and complete functions. Moreover, every computer connected to the network can use e-mail to manage its own account instead of other e-mails. Each computer is bound with an account. In addition to film entertainment and news information, global online also provides the latest entertainment news and current affairs news. Global online has spent more than two million on recruiting editors to collect information.

All the things are the best, the most practical and the most concerned by netizens. Therefore, success should also be the most natural!

The world's online success, open champagne to celebrate. On the contrary, AOL's interior is depressing. In this month, AOL's users dropped rapidly from 30000 to less than 1000.

Steve case, with a sullen face, sat in the office, smoking and saying nothing.

Next to him is Ford Brooke, a representative of Sequoia Capital.

Ford Brooke's face was ugly. He was no longer as proud as he was when he showed off Sequoia Capital Financing AOL in front of Henry. He asked, "Steve, have you come up with a solution? Global online has aimed at us. If we don't fight back effectively, AOL will be finished! "

Steve Case snuffed out his cigarette and said in a cold voice, "they have Netscape browsers to help them. They are the first to occupy the right place. Therefore, our first goal is to pull out this eyesore! Otherwise, AOL can hardly compete with global online. Second, we need to change our e-mail. They have e-mail with graphical interface. We also do e-mail with graphical interface, and the function is the same as them. If we do these two things, we will definitely beat global online! "

Steve case is clearly not aware of the true core competitiveness of global online. He thinks it's just e-mail and Netscape. In fact, the portal website is the core competitiveness of the global online market!!!

So even if Steve case does what he says, AOL is no better than glol. What's more, Netscape and global online email are not so easy to beat. E-mail is mainly used for communication and business. Few people use several e-mail accounts. Besides, after they are used to it, they don't want to change it any more. It's a human habit.

After waiting for users to use e-mail for a period of time, Henry will get the rating system out, log in once a day, add a little experience, and after upgrading, open a variety of value-added services. If you provide free cloud space, you can store files or pictures.

When Ford Brooke heard what Steve Case said, he was surprised. Steve case was so bold that he dared to challenge the position of Netscape browser（ Sorry, something happened today, update is slow, I'm sorry. Please give us a lot of support and vote for "Silicon Valley emperor"....)
