Chapter 123: McAfee Antivirus
The end of August.
On this day, the Silicon Valley regional government once again hosted a new Internet Summit, which was much slower than usual, because there are too many newly established Internet companies in the Silicon Valley region of the United States this year. The number of enterprises has increased 7 times over the same period last year.
The number of exhibitors is as many as 4,700.
Among them, there are nearly 3,500 Internet companies, all of which were newly established companies in 1997.
Yahoo, Netscape, Amazon, E-Toys Mall, icq and so on are all "Internet myths", and their huge benefits continue to stimulate the psychology of everyone, plus the "information superhighway" implemented by the US government this year "The plan directly led to a big explosion in the development of the Internet industry in the United States in 1997.
The number is developing rapidly!
On this day, Zhu Ke once again visited the Silicon Valley Internet Summit. In addition to Zhuke's two bodyguards, there was also Jeff Weiner, the president of LinkedIn.
"Jeff, I read the recent development report of LinkedIn yesterday and I have to say that you did a good job." Zhuke praised.
"Thank the boss for the praise, but we have not done enough. I believe that by the end of the year, the company's development will reach a higher level."
Jeff Weiner solemnly said.
After the initial promotion failed, LinkedIn adjusted its promotion strategy as soon as possible. Judging from the current results, it is indeed quite good.
As of yesterday, LinkedIn’s official website has reached 1.5 million daily traffic, 600,000 registered members, and more than 2,400 online cooperative companies; this month’s advertising profit has also climbed to 300,000 US dollars.
Of course, LinkedIn is still at a loss.
But from the perspective of traffic and the number of registered members, LinkedIn has become a rising star in the Internet market and the only seedling in the field of online recruitment. Its convenient Internet services and creativity have been loved and welcomed by many netizens.
As long as it is steady and steady, it is believed that within 2 to 3 years, LinkedIn will be able to achieve profitability.
......
The Silicon Valley Internet opens this year!
First of all, the officials and representatives of the district government gave a brief opening speech. The content was nothing more than explaining the development data of this year and thinking about the vigorous development in the coming year.
This was originally an extremely boring thing, but the data given by the organizer really shocked everyone on the scene.
"At this year's summit, we attracted as many as 4,700 exhibitors, an increase of 7 times compared with last year."
"Looking at the entire United States, as of one month ago, the number of Internet companies in the entire Internet industry has exceeded 15,000 companies, which is 3.9 times more than that of last year!"
"At the same time, the Internet industry leaders such as Microsoft, Yahoo, Oracle, IBM, Cisco, etc., their turnover in the first half of this year also increased by 5.2 times compared with last year!"
...
One by one, the cold data directly ignited the blood of everyone present.
Money, beauty, dreams, etc., have completely become the pursuit of every Internet participant. They are also eager for success, eager to achieve brilliance in a short period of time like Amazon, Microsoft, and ICQ.
After the start of the Internet Exchange Summit, representatives of investment institutions and individual investors frantically began to pursue the goals they needed.
"Uh, your company is Internet office equipment? Very good, I want to invest in you, let's say, how much money do you need."
A middle-aged man with a big belly, standing in front of a few shabby young men, said he wanted to invest in their dreams.
Investment dream?
shit!
To put it plainly, it is to make money!
......
At the same time, in a booth next to the middle-aged man, there was also a representative of an investment institution, betting on the company he liked.
"what?"
"You said your company has just been established less than two weeks ago, and the company is currently struggling to make ends meet and lack of funds?"
"Is there a company location? Uh, no. How much capital? 200,000 US dollars."
"It's okay, young man."
"I Hrawdrup likes to support young people's dreams. As long as you can convince me, I can invest 1 million US dollars. Of course, if your plan is good enough, I can spend 10 million US dollars at once."
...
in a booth.
A young man who is only about 20 years old is peddling his dream loudly to everyone.
"Gentlemen and ladies, invest in my company, invest in my ideas, I guarantee you can make a lot of money!"
"What? You said I was a liar!"
"You **** fellow, don't use your shallow thoughts to tarnish my great dream!"
"Although my company was established not long ago, my dreams are priceless. My planning is good enough, and I have enough abilities. I firmly believe that within 10 years, or even only 5 years, my company will be able to surpass Yahoo! , Surpassing Microsoft and becoming the number one company in the Internet industry!"
"Guys, invest in me and my company now, and I promise to give you back the future of a billionaire!"
"My God, what are you waiting for?!"
The impassioned words of young people, although full of loopholes, still attracted a group of crazy blind investors to negotiate investment with them.
The chaos are all over!
Yes, the Internet myths were born one after another, and billionaires after another came out of Silicon Valley, completely overwhelming the rationality of investors.
"You can invest in the Internet to make a fortune, I can't do it without reason!"
This is currently an extremely popular investment concept in the American market.
Zhu Ke watched the scene coldly, with frequent fluctuations in his heart. It's not that Zhuke is not calm enough, but the atmosphere on the scene is too crazy, compared with the atmosphere of the World Cup and the Olympic Games, it is not much panic.
Internet companies in the late 1990s were crazy enough.
can be reflected with one data, that is the American Spring Festival Gala (Football Super Bowl)!
Every January is the time when the Super Bowl is held. On this day, it will attract the attention of spectators from all over the United States. More than 100,000 people watch the game live, and tens of millions of people watch the game through live TV.
Midtime advertisements have attracted a large number of companies ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In recent years, most of the Super Bowl advertisements have been Internet companies.
For example: In early 1997, the Super Bowl attracted hundreds of Internet companies, of which 17 Internet companies won advertising time at high prices. The advertising cost in just 30 seconds exceeded $1.6 million, which was nearly doubled from last year's 850,000.
Although they spend a lot of money, they never get tired of it.
In 1998, the 30-second advertising fee was increased to 1.75 million US dollars;
In 2000, each company delivered 2.2 million U.S. dollars. Moreover, one of the Internet companies even provided a bonus of 10 million U.S. dollars to lucky participants during prime time.
These are enough to witness the madness of the Internet.
However, in 2001, because the Internet bubble burst, Internet companies went bankrupt and closed one after another. In this year, only three Internet companies bought advertisements, and the cost was much lower than in previous years.
Zhu Ke also wandered around and found that most of the Internet companies participating in the exhibition today are **** unreliable, and many of them are even cheating money.
"Hey, it seems that good luck is not as good as last year. I got an ICQ last year. This year seems to be out of luck."
"what?"
Suddenly, Zhu Ke noticed an Internet security software sales company called "McAfee".
Fuck!
In an instant, Zhuke was a jealous spirit.
"Will this be the famous security software McAfee later?"
McAfee security software may be very strange to friends in the great dynasty, but in the United States after the 21st century, it is an anti-virus software giant called Symantec and Kaspersky.
The first update of "" is sent.
