Chapter 279

The size of Apple Newton is very large, almost the same as the length and width of previous iPads, which are 8 inches and 5 inches respectively. In the current pursuit of the trend style that the smaller the product, the better, Apple Newton obviously does not meet the requirements of the market. The Palm handheld computer is small and light, cheap, rolling Apple Newton, is inevitable!

The failure of Apple Newton made apple even worse. A large amount of inventory in the warehouse could not be sold, resulting in serious losses. In recent years, Apple's market share has declined year after year, and now it has fallen below 5%. The failure of Apple Newton became the fuse. John Scaley was forced to resign as CEO of apple and Michael Spindler took over!

After Michael Spindler took over, he had no idea how to take apple out of trouble.

In the first quarter of 1993, apple lost $400 million. Michael spinder Alexander, finally under his leadership, apple finally began to get sick and decided to make cameras and home game consoles!

Kodak cameras are very profitable, as we all know.

Nintendo's game console is even more a gold digger. Nintendo's revenue in 1991 was equivalent to the TV turnover of the whole United States.

Michael spinder seems to see the light in the dark

Apple will soon announce its decision to develop cameras and home game consoles in the hope that these two products will turn profits and losses. When Henry saw the news, he couldn't help laughing. Apple didn't even know how to write "death".

The competition in the field of cameras, Williams electronics, said the pressure mountain.

After getting the authorized technology of Carl Zeiss, Williams electronics combined with its own micro hard disk, and finally launched the Williams camera. The core competitiveness of Williams camera is mainly the large capacity of micro hard disk. However, due to the use of micro hard disk, the price is relatively expensive, and the price is 1500 US dollars.

After the release of the product, although the hot, but still can not compete Kodak, Canon, Sony and other companies.

What is Apple's core competitiveness now?

What's the best lens technology? Or what?

Not at all.

After the introduction of the apple camera, the response must be flat.

As for the apple game machine... Ha ha, it's the rhythm of seeking death!

The competition for home games is far more fierce than that for cameras. By then, Sony Playstation, Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, Nintendo N64.

Why should Apple game machines compete?

Shrimp soldiers and crabs will be involved in the war between giants, and they will be crushed to death at will!!!

Henry shook his head.

Apple is bringing it into the ditch by itself. I can't blame anyone else!

The advent of the Clinton era means that the development of the Internet will advance at an incredible speed.

With the encouragement of the government, the network infrastructure of each state is being built vigorously, and ISP internet access service providers are springing up.

With the increasing number of Internet users, Internet companies are making more and more profits.

Currently, the two most profitable Internet companies are global online and Isearch.

Both companies sell advertising. Although the annual revenue of global online is only more than $3.2 billion, its net profit is about $1 billion. Isearch's annual revenue is only $2.5 billion, but its net profit is $730 million.

When the annual financial statements of the two companies in 1992 were published, they immediately caused a sensation.

Countless companies have entered the Internet industry. According to the statistics of Henry's domain name management company, 1000 domain names are born every day.

At this time, the business of Noah Ark's server hosting business immediately soared, and more than 1000 server hosting sites around the world have been running at full capacity. At the same time, many companies buy servers every day. Now, Noah's Ark factory has begun to work overtime to produce servers.

Henry had expected this situation for a long time, so he had Noah Ark expand five factories earlier, and the production capacity increased more than five times.

At present, the shipment volume of Noah's Ark ranks first in the server production company, which is much more than the total shipment volume of the servers of the two companies behind. The market share once increased to 71.5%, almost monopolizing the global market!

Noah Ark server's performance is the best, brand awareness is also the highest. Now the scale has expanded, and the manufacturing cost has also been reduced. As a result, Noah Ark server has more advantages in price than other companies!

IBM and Dell can only eat ashes in the back.

What makes Henry even more happy is that the blade server of Noah Ark has been developed, and the conditions for building a large data center are approaching maturity.

The appearance of blade server is not just as simple as blade. Each blade is actually a system motherboard, running its own system, serving different specified user groups, and there is no correlation between them. However, these blades can be combined into a server cluster. In cluster mode, all motherboards can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment and share resources for the same user group at the same time! Moreover, new "blades" can be inserted into the cluster at any time to improve the overall performance!

In short, the blade server can fight alone, but also fit.

In addition, a chassis can be inserted with multiple blades, thus saving a lot of space.

Blade servers will basically become the mainstream of high-performance computing cluster, but the price is expensive, generally used in large data centers or areas requiring large-scale computing!

You're not afraid. Henry has plenty of money!

Besides, even Noah's Ark is Henry's, isn't it left hand to right hand?

However, Henry does not have much cash left, and the cost of data center is not a small sum.

Henry decided to list his Internet company for financing.

At present, countless people into the Internet, leading to the Internet concept stock hot!

Amazon, eBay and Alibaba can be listed separately.

At the same time, there are global online, Isearch, ICQ, ireader novel website, Tiantian music company, and the newly established hospital website.

Henry was busy for a while, and began to organize people to plan the listing.

Before long, the outside world was informed that Henry's Internet companies would be listed collectively.

Time: "it is said that the Internet company under the name of Henry Williams is about to go public. If it is true, then it will be the most sensational thing in the history of NASDAQ!"

"Henry Williams' Internet companies will be listed collectively, and their value will be greatly increased," the Wall Street Journal said

“……”

Senior Wall Street Analyst: "Nicholas international e-commerce group has a market value of more than 150 billion US dollars. It has three major e-commerce platforms: B2C platform Amazon, C2C platform eBay and B2B platform Alibaba. It is estimated that the total market value of the three companies will be even higher than that of the parent company

"According to the data we collected, the net income of global online in 1992 was as high as 1 billion US dollars, and more than 50 branches or offices have been established all over the world. More than 20 versions in different languages, such as English, German, French and Chinese, have been launched, with a market share of more than 75%, far exceeding that of AOL, which ranks second with a market share of less than 15%!"

"In addition, global online is the first profitable Internet company in the United States. In recent years, with the increase of Internet users, advertising expenses have also increased dramatically!"

"At a cocktail party, Bill Gates once inadvertently expressed his admiration and regret and said to others:" with the advent of the Internet era, global online is growing and making more money! It's hard for Microsoft to catch up with... "

"And AOL CEO and chairman Steve case also said in an interview:" the existence of global online makes AOL very embarrassed. First of all, from the name, one is global online and the other is AOL. It seems that AOL is inherently weak... "

"I expect that after the listing of global online, the market value will exceed our imagination!"

……

The preparations for the listing of major companies are in full swing.

Henry received the news that NASA sent someone to SpaceX company to inspect SpaceX company. At this time, SpaceX's launch vehicle was successfully manufactured and could be launched for test. Henry has a lot of confidence in SpaceX. After all, he is the top talent captured from the Soviet Union. His technical level is no worse than that of the United States. In the field of launch vehicles, SpaceX may be stronger!

Henry asked SpaceX company to buy a communication satellite from Lockheed company. It's a contact before the acquisition. Once you get familiar with it, you'll be familiar with it. It's not strange to meet you again

The satellite is really expensive. SpaceX spent 150 million dollars on the Lockheed communication satellite.

The cost of SpaceX's launch vehicle is only about US $50 million. As for the launch fee, it's free because it's our own company. If it's someone else, you'll have to charge at least twenty or thirty million dollars.

Usually, there's insurance, two or three million dollars. This money, of course, is from the other side.

Therefore, it is quite normal to launch a satellite with us $200 million or US $300 million.

The communication satellite purchased by SpaceX company is classified as a live broadcast satellite according to its professional use, which directly transmits TV and radio programs to the public.

Henry's live satellite company can be deployed from now on.

What Henry admired was that Motorola launched iridium project, which attracted global attention.

The so-called iridium project is to launch 77 satellites in space to build a global 360 degree satellite communication system without dead angle! No matter which gully you are in, you can communicate with your mobile phone by pointing it to the sky.

SpaceX said that since you want to launch so many satellites, you can cooperate.

Your satellite, I'll launch.

However, Motorola doesn't trust SpaceX, and politely refuses. I think so. As a novice, you will help you launch the satellite. If the launch fails, it will be a loss.

So it's time for SpaceX to prove its ability.

On May 1, SpaceX was ready to launch the rocket.

Most media in the United States expressed strong concern. At the launch site, thousands of media came from all over the world. At the same time, there are also many heavyweight representatives, such as the U.S. Department of defense, NASA, the U.S. military and so on

SpaceX's rocket is called "Flying Eagle 1". When it's 12 noon, the countdown starts.

At this time, the whole audience can hear the low voice from the radio.

“10，9，8，7，6，5，4，3，2，1，0……”

"Start up!!"
