Chapter 311: Rich as a country!

The personal income tax in the United States is one of the main taxes, but for Li Zetian, he has "zero" salary in the company under his name, so the personal income tax is almost zero.

Then, the United States can only collect corporate income tax.

However, it is still difficult for the United States to collect taxes from companies outside the United States.

"The U.S. Department of Justice is so awesome, don't ask me back in the future!"

A contemptuous smile appeared on Li Zetian's lips. Since the United States wants to curb my development, then fine, I will develop in other countries. In this world, there is no shortage of talents in Europe and Asia.

In recent years, the United States has been in recession and its products have not been competitive. Li Zetian decided to make it worse.

Subsequently, under Li Zetian's order, Gene Technology terminated the acquisition.

Immediately afterwards, R\u0026D centers began to be established around the world, and even pharmaceutical factories were established in other countries.

In addition, Li Zetian formulated a global strategic plan to establish branches and factories for other companies under his name outside the United States.

…

A month later, with the help of Li Zetian, the Hong Kong government successfully applied for a root domain name server.

At present, neither the United States nor Europe pays attention to the root domain name server, which allows Li Zetian to take advantage of the loophole.

When the news reached Li Zetian's ears, he couldn't help laughing proudly and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Haha, in my previous life, I was able to do something that the whole of China couldn't do, but I was able to do it so easily. Is it a fortress? I feel like I am a fortress!!! Hong Kong will return to China in 1997, and Hong Kong has a root domain name server. It’s equivalent to China owning the root domain name server. The Chinese government should give me a Chinese Contribution Award!”

Li Zetian was in a happy mood, went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of 1982 Lafite, and poured himself a glass of red wine. He shook the red wine glass subconsciously, thinking about what to do next.

Under the influence of his butterfly effect, the development of computers and the Internet is far beyond that of previous generations. Li Zetian does not want to wait slowly for the development of the Internet. Promoting the rapid development of the Internet is what he likes to do now.

Now, money is nothing to him.

He has huge funds, connections and various resources, coupled with control of future development trends, making money is nothing to him.

Changing the world is his purpose.

It is his interest to create various new technologies that he has not yet seen in the future.

"What is used to promote history is not law, but money, and only money!"

Over the years, Li Zetian has a deep understanding of the wise words of financial oligarch J.P. Morgan!

With the money, he acquired ASML and invested heavily in the development of more advanced photolithography machines; with the money, he acquired Applied Materials and developed more advanced chip production equipment, thereby breaking Moore's Law and developing more advanced lithography machines in a shorter time. More powerful chips were developed.

In any laboratory, you can see the existence of computers. Supercomputers with powerful computing capabilities are used for scientific research. Their research and development speed is many times more powerful than ordinary supercomputers!

The existence of computers has promoted the development of the entire technology industry.

The core of the computer is the chip.

The core of the chip is production equipment and materials!

The rapid development of the Internet has promoted the development of computers and chips to a certain extent.

"E-mail and BBS already exist, but the most important things on the Internet - the website and the World Wide Web haven't been born yet!" Li Zetian sipped his wine and murmured, "Maybe it's time to develop them! However, before that, we need to Go to Sun Microsystems and ask them to develop a web server!"

…

Little did the world know that an invention that changed the world was decided so lightly by Li Zetian.

The next day, Li Zetian came to Sun Microsystems.

He ordered the company's key leaders to come to the conference room for a meeting.

After everyone came to the conference room, they were full of doubts.

"Andy Beckettson, what is the purpose of Mr. Li calling us together?"

"Oh, how did I know... I just got the news."

"William Nelson Joy, do you know anything?"

"I don't know either, but I guess it's a very important thing!"

"..."

"Mr. Li, everyone is here." Sun Microsystems CEO said to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian nodded, then looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am calling you here. There is indeed something very important that needs to be announced!"

After a pause, Li Zetian glanced at everyone and asked, "Does everyone know about the Internet?"

Everyone nodded.

"Know!"

"The word Internet was first spread from Sprint Company, and it is said that Mr. Li was the first to say it."

"The Internet is a very broad network, a network that combines ARPANet, NFSNet and Sprint's nationwide digital optical fiber network SprintNet!"

"..."

Li Zetian nodded and said with a smile: "Well, very good. Since you all know the Internet, do you realize the value behind the Internet?"

This question stumped everyone for a while.

Sun Microsystems' main products include graphics workstations, minicomputers, servers, and supercomputers. Current servers are mainly enterprise-level servers, which are used by large enterprises and important industries that need to process large amounts of data, high processing speed and extremely high reliability requirements, such as finance, securities, transportation, post and telecommunications, communications and other industries. They are usually database servers. . As for the Web server, there is no such concept yet.

The development of a website requires a web server!

At the same time, related web page writing languages-Hypertext Markup Language and Hypertext Transfer Protocol are also needed.

Li Zetian looked at everyone's thinking expressions and couldn't help but smile. It was time to show off.

Next, Li Zetian spoke. He ordered someone to insert the CD he brought into the computer's CD-ROM, then connect it to the projector and play the PPT he made last night.

While playing, Li Zetian explained.

"It won't be long before the Internet will connect the whole world. People can learn about news and current affairs from all over the world on the Internet. They can browse text, pictures, and even videos on the Internet. They can chat with relatives and friends on the Internet. The Internet will completely change people's lives. lifestyle!”

"If 1 billion people around the world use the Internet, then how huge the data circulating on the Internet will be. Isn't it a huge business opportunity for Sun Microsystems? Because we can provide servers for data storage!! !”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "So far, the Internet has not fully demonstrated its charm. Although there is email and BBS, it has not realized the functions I just mentioned. There is no way in the world and we need to open up We, Sun Microsystems, will be this pioneer! Now please pay attention, what I am going to talk about next will be the greatest invention of the Internet!!!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at the projection with full attention, their faces full of excitement and excitement. They all know that Li Zetian is a super genius and has invented many excellent products. Now, his tone is so solemn. He must have invented something extraordinary again! Now, if such things are developed by Sun Microsystems, Sun Microsystems will undoubtedly make a lot of money, and everyone will also get rich!

Li Zetian organized the language and said: "Everyone knows that data is spread on the Internet, so have you ever thought about saving the data in the form of a book page? Since it is used on the Internet, it can be named 'Web page'. In this way, the disseminated data can be clearly displayed on the web page, making it more convenient for communication, information exchange and information inquiry on a global scale..."

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, a window seemed to open, making everyone suddenly realize!

"Wonderful, this is simply wonderful. In this way, a lot of data can be saved on a web page, and browsing it is simple and clear."

"Yeah, I'm afraid it would be fine to put the news in the newspaper on the web page!"

"Haha, isn't the newspaper industry going to collapse?"

"..."

Everyone was inexplicably excited and talking endlessly.

Li Zetian pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then smiled: "Writing web pages requires a special language, which I call hypertext annotation language. In addition, in order to achieve global information exchange, a hypertext transmission protocol must be developed!!! Sun Microsystems' products include servers, so everyone should know that the data on the web page requires a decryptor!"

William Nelson Joy, the company's chief scientist, couldn't help but said: "There are tens of thousands of web pages, which means that web servers will be a big seller!!!"

Li Zetian smiled at him and said, "Yes, the more web pages there are, the more web servers are needed!"

Then, Li Zetian continued to introduce the relationship between web pages, websites, domain names, and the www symbol at the beginning.

www is called the World Wide Web, which is a collection of countless network sites and web pages based on www hypertext markup language and hypertext protocol. Whenever a user wants to access a website, they must write www at the beginning of the domain name.

At this time, William Nelson Joy suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, if we apply for a patent on the WWW World Wide Web, then we can charge patent fees for every website!"

As soon as these words came out, many people in the audience echoed, as if they had discovered a money tree!

Li Zetian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This is not possible! If WWW charges, the development of the Internet will inevitably slow down, the number of websites will definitely decrease, and fewer servers will be needed. In addition, www is just a communication standard, other The company may develop standards such as wwa, wwb, and wwc, resulting in a website having more than ten communication standards, which is bound to be detrimental to the development of web servers. We must enlarge our vision, as long as we make the cake bigger, and we We are the setters of standards, why are we worried that our servers are not making money?”

After Li Zetian finished speaking, everyone nodded and looked at Li Zetian with great admiration.

"Oh, Chronos Li deserves to be the richest man in the world. He really sees things differently from others!"

William Nelson Joy was slightly embarrassed and said to Li Zetian: "Mr. Li, you are still smart and far-sighted!!!"

Li Zetian smiled lightly: "It's nothing. Before I came here, I thought more about these issues than you did. By the way, I will not be involved in the specifics of Hypertext Markup Language and Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Sun Microsystems must be able to Complete it independently, and then develop the corresponding web server!"

"Mr. Li, don't worry, there will be no problem!!!" William Nelson Joy assured that Li Zetian has pointed out the development direction for them, and the technical development is not difficult.

Li Zetian nodded. For Sun Microsystems, which is full of talents, developing these is indeed not difficult, but people didn't expect it.

The WWW World Wide Web in the previous life was developed by one person.

When Li Zetian left the gate of Sun Microsystems, he paused and looked back at the company building. The future of the Internet is here!

Back in the car, Li Zetian secretly analyzed that it was already September, and he would be able to complete the development of WWW next year and successfully launch the world's first website! However, there is a question that Li Zetian deserves to consider. What kind of website is the first website?

Web portals? Does the first website need to connect to other websites?

News website? It seems that most of the first people to go online were computer and Internet enthusiasts and may not be interested in news.

Technical exchange forum? It seems possible...

"It's the first website. I don't expect it to grow and develop! However, its existence can pave the way for other websites and advertise. When there are more websites in the future, we will build a website similar to Yahoo." Li Zetian suddenly shook his head and smiled, "Oh, It’s still too early to say this... After thinking about it, developing a browser is the right thing to do! If you can monopolize the browser market, pop-up recommendations, forced binding, and recommending your own website will still be like playing? "

When Li Zetian thought of browsers, he thought of the battle between Netscape Browser Company and Microsoft Company.

Now, Microsoft is already a company under its own name. Will they kill each other in the future? Microsoft's operating system monopolizes the market, and IE is in an invincible position if it is bound to the operating system. Even if he founded the Netscape browser company, he might not be able to defeat Microsoft.

"Just build Netscape Browser Company and then sell it to Microsoft. Microsoft will have to spend billions of dollars no matter what, and they have to accept their own favors, haha..." Li Zetian laughed secretly in his heart.

The combination of e-mail, operating system and office suite was enough for Microsoft to achieve its previous glory. Microsoft is a listed company, and Li Zetian is only one of its major shareholders. With a project as good as the Netscape browser, Li Zetian has no obligation to give it to Microsoft. Of course he wants to monopolize it, and will only sell it to Microsoft as a last resort.

"Mr. Li, what are you doing?" Dongfang Yuqin saw Li Zetian looking out the car window and couldn't help but push his arm.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that with the advent of the Internet era, my worth will skyrocket..." After a pause, Li Zetian added, "I want to be truly rich and rival the country!!!"

Dongfang Yuqin smiled: "You are already as rich as any other country, richer than many, many countries!"

"What small countries don't matter, I am richer than the US government!"

Dongfang Yuqin was stunned, thinking that Li Zetian was joking. How could there be any businessman richer than the US government?

Li Zetian hugged Dongfang Yuqin into his arms, leaned close to her face, and whispered: "You don't believe it?"

"Believe me!" Dongfang Yuqin stretched out her finger and pressed Li Zetian's forehead.

"Okay, I am indeed bragging..." Li Zetian smiled.
