One month after the establishment of Mango Computer, a total of 75,000 computers were sold, which shocked the industry.
In fact, the implementation of computer direct selling is not an innovation, nor is it an extraordinary creativity, the key lies in how to establish a market foundation in an orderly manner, starting from small things everywhere, and being able to grasp the needs of users!
In this regard, Li Zetian certainly has a certain talent, but he relies more on the memory of his previous life. Michael Dell has a keen insight into every trend of the market. During his work in Texas, he showed a strong working ability, which made Mango Computer Company's performance in Texas far ahead. most areas. The voices of people's doubts about him also disappeared immediately, and instead they praised the mango computer company for its insight!
With the successful precedent of Mango Computer Company, companies that do direct computer sales have sprung up everywhere!
The market is too big, and it is far from saturated. If Mango Computer eats meat, it has to leave some soup for others to drink.
Since Mango Computer Company is well-funded, it will soon establish branches all over the world. Needless to say. In addition, Mango Computer, as a cheaply assembled computer, is also one of the first computer companies to enter the Chinese mainland.
As early as February 16, 1984, Mr. Deng visited the Shanghai Exhibition Hall. He felt a little bit, and said to the cadres around him: "Computer popularization must start with children!"
China's top leaders have spoken out, but parents across the country are not allowed to think about their children and let them learn computers? This is bound to usher in a computer sales boom! In addition, this can be regarded as Li Zetian's support for the development of computer business in mainland China, and the price of Mango Computer in mainland China is much cheaper than that in the United States. Of course, the headquarters of the ant factory is in Shenzhen, so the cost of tariffs and ocean transportation has been reduced, and it is normal for the price to be low. Also, considering the purchasing power of mainland China, the price is too expensive for them to buy.
In mid-May, it was Microsoft's turn to perform, and ail finally struck! ! ! !
At the product launch, everyone could not help but be attracted by this software.
When Bill Gates introduced this E-mail software, the audience burst into applause!
The term E-mail quickly became a buzzword in the industry.
In the early development of the ARPANET or the Internet in the future, the function of the network is actually to transmit information quickly. The invention of e-mail brought together the concepts of digital information and the interconnection of computers, creating a revolution in the age of communication! ! ! !
Many people say that the reason why the Internet has developed so fast is because of the existence of e-mail!
Even in 2016, email is still one of the most actively used software.
Of course, the current network is not yet popular, but the United States does not have the National Science Foundation NSF is building the NSFNET network, the role of e-mail suddenly prominent!
Wall Street investors are bullish on the future of email.
On the day of the end of Microsoft's product launch, the stock price rose by 6.5%, an astonishing increase!
Subsequently, schools, research institutions, enterprises, and government agencies all over the world have purchased ail from Microsoft, and individual users are relatively few.
Two weeks later, "Father of Email" Ray Tomlinson and ail appeared on the cover of Time Magazine at the end of May!
Ray Tomlinson became famous in one fell swoop, known to the world! ! !
Even Ray Tomlinson attracted the attention of the Turing Award Committee... You must know that the Turing Award is the most prestigious and noble award in the computer industry, known as the "Nobel Prize in the computer industry", so far , even Li Zetian did not receive this honor!
However, Li Zetian wrote the Java language at home to prepare for future development.
The Java programming language not only absorbs various advantages of the C++ language, but also abandons the incomprehensible concepts of multiple inheritance and pointers in C++. It is an object-oriented programming language that can write cross-platform applications. It has excellent general-purpose performance, efficiency, platform portability and security, widely used in PCs, data centers, game consoles, scientific supercomputers, mobile phones and the Internet, etc...
I don't know if the invention of the Java language can win the Turing Award
However, Li Zetian's genius does not need Java to prove it. Whether he can win the award or not, it doesn't matter to him, "I am lucky if I get it, but I lose my life".
…
By June, Galaxy Networks went public.
The more mature products of Galaxy Network Company are GalaxyNet network cards and Galaxy network devices. Other products, such as switches, modems, and fiber optic cables, are still under development.
In this IPO, the company's total share capital is 1 billion shares, and 200 million shares are issued at $8 per share, with a pre-IPO valuation of $8 billion.
As the second listed company under Li Zetian's name, he certainly has to participate in such a big thing as the company's listing.
So in the early morning of the company's listing day, Li Zetian came to Nasdaq again.
Tian Shuai, Zhang Yan, and others all seemed very excited and nervous, as if the bride was the first time on the sedan chair.
Li Zetian smiled at them and said, "Don't be nervous, relax, the IPO will definitely be very successful!"
"Yeah!" The two nodded.
"Mr. Li, what do you estimate the market value of Galaxy Network will be after it goes public?" Tian Shuai asked.
"It's not certain, but more than $10 billion is very likely!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, as if he had turned into a dollar sign. After the company's IPO, the shares of Galaxy Network in his hands were slightly reduced, with 4% of the shares, and in US dollars, it was at least 400 million US dollars!
"Haha, after the company goes public, my shares will be valuable. I want to buy a luxury plane! Yes, Boeing 747!!!"
Li Zetian couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, reminding: "Don't rush to cash out stocks, believe me, Galaxy Network has the potential to win more than 100 billion US dollars. By then, the shares in your hands will be very valuable."
Cisco's peak market value is as high as 575.93 billion US dollars, and now Galaxy Networks = Cisco + 3COM, very powerful! In the future, under the leadership of Li Zetian, it will only become stronger!
In fact, Li Zetian also intends to cash out some stocks at the right time, as long as the control of the company is still there. Because once the Internet bubble burst, the market value will plummet. Due to the butterfly effect, Li Zetian could not guess the exact time when the Internet bubble burst, but he was sure that the Internet bubble would definitely form.
Hundreds of billions of dollars? Oh, that's at least $4 billion!
Zhang Yan felt that he was going to die and cash out his shares now, which was absolutely heartbreaking and regretful. "Oh, my Boeing 747, it seems that I have to wait for many years to buy you!" Zhang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Tian Shuai said with a smile: "Do you still have few planes and luxury cars? Especially luxury cars, they are all piled up in the garage."
Zhang Yan smiled awkwardly, and then said: "But there is no Boeing 747, such a large aircraft is domineering! Uh, it's too expensive, I can't afford it without cashing out the shares..."
"Don't say it, I don't even have a private jet! You are more luxurious than me!" Li Zetian was speechless.
Zhang Yan laughed and said, "Mr. Li, if I were as rich as you, I would have bought a Boeing 747 and transformed it into the most luxurious flying palace in the world! There are luxury suites and conference rooms in it. , entertainment hall, concert hall, parking garage, steam bath and other luxurious facilities, I can't help but get excited when I think about it... Mr. Li, with your current status, it's a bit unreasonable to not have a private jet. This is a status symbol Ah, so, I suggest you buy a Boeing 747 quickly!"
Tian Shuai said with a smile, "Mr. Li, Zhang Yan wants to rub your plane and enjoy it!"
Zhang Yan immediately retorted: "Am I right? Mr. Li, a super rich with hundreds of billions of dollars, will be laughed at without a private jet. I think about Mr. Li. Besides, if you have a private jet, where do you go? It's also more convenient and safer! Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Zetian thought about it, and what Zhang Yan said was not without reason.
"You have some truth in what you said, so... I decided to buy a Boeing 747."
Zhang Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, when your plane is rebuilt, lend me a ride..."
Li Zetian nodded helplessly and said with a smile, "Okay!"
The price of the latest Boeing 747-300 is very expensive, nearly 100 million US dollars, if the transformation is very luxurious, it may cost hundreds of millions.
In his previous life, Li Zetian read a news article saying that Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia had customized an A380 Airbus at Airbus. Among them, only the ordinary Airbus A380 is priced as high as 300 million US dollars.
Without further ado, at this important moment of the company's listing, the vision for the future is reserved for the future.
The opening bell of Nasdaq opens at 9:30 EST. Before the bell rings, everyone will first watch a small video of the development of Galaxy Network, and then the representative of Nasdaq will speak, and then, Galaxy Network The representative, Li Zetian, spoke.
Li Zetian has been here once, and he is familiar with the road. However, the method of ringing the bell has been changed to the electronic button method. As long as the "bell ring button" is pressed, the whole hall will ring a bell!
After all this was done, it was almost time to ring the bell.
"Let's go to the stage and ring the bell together!!!" Li Zetian said with a smile to the company representatives who came to participate in the bell ringing event.
As soon as the voice fell, everyone walked to the stage one after another, with Li Zetian standing in the middle as the chairman, and he would push the button to ring the bell.
Soon, the countdown began.
10, 9, 8, 7…
When the number reached 0, everyone's mood reached the highest point at this moment.
Li Zetian's thumb immediately pressed on the bell key.
In an instant, the bell rang and fireworks flew!
Everyone cheers, or waves, or thumbs up!
The Nasdaq staff on the opposite side took pictures and video of everyone with a camera!
Nasdaq is located in Midtown Manhattan, just outside Times Square.
Afterwards, everyone left Nasdaq and came to Times Square to take pictures with Nasdaq's big screen as the background. On the big screen are repeated photos and videos of the time the bell rang.
At this moment, due to the appearance of Li Zetian, the surrounding Times Square is crowded with people, so lively!
"The bell ringing event is over, everyone can move freely. Today at 12 o'clock at noon, I invite everyone to have dinner at Per?Se, a three-star Michelin restaurant, I am a treat!!!" Li Zetian said to the employees with a smile.
"Wow, it's actually a Per?Se restaurant!! This restaurant is one of the top world restaurants in the world, mainly French dishes, reservation difficulty index: 5 stars!!! It is said that if you want to eat here, you must have Book a month in advance!”
"I don't know why, I'm drooling all of a sudden..."
Li Zetian smiled and said, "Whatever you want to eat, just order it, don't save me money!"
"Boss, you are so rich, we won't save you money!"
"Yes, we want to eat the best and most expensive food!"
"… "
Li Zetian smiled and said, "No problem!"
Everyone played in New York for a while, and then they all came to Per?Se restaurant and enjoyed a very delicious lunch.
Tech stocks are very much sought after by investors!
At this time, Galaxy Network's stock price rose wildly, and soon, the stock price rose to 9.5 US dollars, as long as it reaches 10 US dollars, the company's market value can exceed 10 billion US dollars.
"The stock price has risen to 9.5 US dollars, and it will definitely continue to rise, breaking through 10 US dollars!"
There is not much difference between $9.5 and $10, and investors are bullish.
Before Li Zetian and others had finished their lunch, the market value of Galaxy Network reached 10 billion US dollars.
When Li Zetian received the phone call and announced the news, there was a burst of joyful cheers in the Per?Se restaurant.
The guests next to him smacked their tongues secretly.
"Oh my God, Chronos Li owns another ten billion dollar company!!!"
When the people around looked at Li Zetian, their expressions were full of shock, envy and jealousy.
Li Zetian smiled faintly, picked up the red wine glass, took a sip, and immediately said to Tian Shuai and Zhang Yan, "This is just the beginning!!!"
