Chapter 293

Founded in 1992, DigitalGlobe is still a small company with only one satellite and a market value of about 250 million US dollars.

Although Williams space Airlines has been established for a short time, it is not easy to understand the backstage as soon as you listen to the name!

Global online and Isearch companies have been listed successfully, almost giving Henry a layer of glory! Everything he does seems unusual, not to mention Williams aerospace or Henry's company!

As soon as digital globe received the acquisition request from Williams aerospace, it was shocked and immediately held a meeting for discussion.

Digital globe is not the only company engaged in providing high-definition video services. If digital globe wants to stand out and grow, it urgently needs financial support. If you can be close to Henry Williams, then there will be no financial pressure, but also with the help of the group's resources to grow rapidly!

After discussion, it was finally decided to accept the acquisition of Williams aerospace.

Williams Aerospace injected $500 million into digital globe, holding 66.7% of the shares. Within the following week, the two sides completed the transaction. DigitalGlobe is officially incorporated into the Williams aerospace company!

Soon afterwards, ICQ took over the baton from Isearch and continued to list on NASDAQ.

ICQ company involved in various industries, especially with Amazon, eBay, Alibaba in-depth cooperation, become a chat shopping tool, huge traffic, extraordinary influence! In addition, the launch of ICQ game platform makes the company profitable. Then, in 1993, ICQ company launched virtual community (including ICQ show, personal image dressing system), ICQ farm, ICQ pet three heavyweight game products, which quickly swept the Internet world!

ICQ portal launched by ICQ company soon became one of the three major portals in the world, second only to global online and AOL. Among them, the global online market share is 71.5%, while AOL's market share is 14.5%. Although ICQ portal has not been established for a long time, it is developing very fast, with 8.4% market share. It is possible to catch up with AOL!

ICQ's revenue soared from US $200 million in 1992 to more than US $4 billion in 1993, an increase of 20 times. Its growth rate is extremely shocking, and the company's net profit is also surprisingly high, up to US $1.25 billion!

"The most promising Internet company!" commented time Even Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ, was elected the man of the year in 1993.

Nowadays, ICQ has become a necessary tool for Internet access, almost every netizen has at least one account!

Compared with global online, ICQ company is more legendary than global online companies, and even in turn, it will occupy the share of portal websites. Therefore, countless people are more optimistic about ICQ company! Obviously, to make friends as the core of ICQ company more user stickiness.

Global online has been able to occupy the largest market share, in addition to the first mover advantage, the most important thing is to have global online e-mail, almost 90% of the global Internet users are using the e-mail, in an absolute monopoly. Now, Henry will give his blog and Twitter to global online, and his position will be stronger!

So, if ICQ portal wants to grab market share, it's hard to grab it from global online hands. As a result, the only thing it can grab is AOL's market share. To squeeze AOL out, the rest are global online portals and ICQ portals. Henry can play whatever he wants

The day before ICQ was listed, most hotels in New York City were almost full. Countless people rushed to New York and Nasdaq just to buy stocks!

ICQ's IPO is the same as that of the previous two companies. The IPO number is 200 million shares, accounting for 20% of the total equity, but the IPO price is $25.

The clock of NASDAQ rang again, and Henry was almost familiar with the melody of the sound.

It's another crazy day.

At the close of the day, the stock price rose to $150 and the market value exceeded $150 billion, which proved once again that the Internet concept stock was hot!

When Henry appeared, reporters gathered around him.

"Mr. Henry Williams, how many other companies do you have to go public?"

Henry thought about it and replied, "there's a lot more. It seems that it's almost time to ring the clock once a week for two or three months."

When the reporter heard this, he was stunned

During this period, not only Henry's company listed, but also other Internet companies saw a good market and quickly listed their own companies. Of course, the results are good, as long as the company belongs to the Internet concept stocks, or even touch the edge!

When you see so many Internet companies listed, all of them are making a lot of money, other people are naturally envious. They can't help but feel a kind of "monk can't touch, I can't touch?" The mentality of the Internet companies have been established!

According to an incomplete survey, the number of Internet companies in the world has increased by 120000 in the past three months!

The development speed of the global Internet is unprecedented, becoming the fastest period of development in history.

The Chinese government has been stimulated to contact Williams Telecom to build a larger undersea optical cable worth 5 billion US dollars for them. As a result, in early March, as soon as the news spread, China was internationally recognized as a "country with Internet"!
