The United States attempted to depreciate the US dollar by signing the "Platform Agreement" to resolve the foreign trade deficit. But in fact, for a long time after the "Platform Agreement", Japan's trade surplus with the United States not only did not decrease, but increased significantly. Some experts believe that the sharp appreciation of the Japanese yen provides a good opportunity for Japanese companies to go global and expand overseas in large-scale overseas.

By mid-November, the US dollar depreciated by more than 20%, and the yen appreciated significantly, making Japanese entrepreneurs very arrogant and waved their checks to "buy, buy, buy"!

Japanese businessmen have appeared in many places such as Hawaii, New York, and Los Angeles in the United States. They have bought a lot of land and buildings.

Li Zetian only heard in his previous life that the Japanese were crazy in the 190s and even threatened to buy the United States. Now that he can experience this era personally and experience it personally, he can't help but be dumbfounded!

The Japanese are so rich, even Li Zetian is ashamed of himself.

On November 5, Dongfang Yuqin returned from vacation and started working. With her around, Li Zetian was much more relaxed.

After more than a year of construction, the NSFNet network has been initially built, and the backbone communication line has a data transmission speed of 56kb/s, connecting the six major supercomputer centers in the United States and a large number of colleges and universities to realize information sharing.

Galaxy Networks launched the Galaxy-Model at this time, with data transmission up to 2400 bits/s, crushing other modems at present and making a big hit in the industry.

Sprint has begun providing network access services.

In addition, the national digital fiber network that Sprint is building is also connected to the NSFNet network and formed into a larger network. Of course, the operating rights of the two networks belong to their own. NSFNet prefers academic research, while Sprint's national digital fiber network prefers commercial.

A magnificent scroll has begun to unfold slowly!

There are more than Li Zetian in this world, and some people have seen the development potential of the Internet and are actively involved in it.

In mid-November, when Li Zetian learned about the development of 32 personal computers at Mango Computer Company, she happened to meet this person.

"Mr Li, I was surprised to meet you here. I am Steve Case, the founder of American Online!"

American Online!!!

When Li Zetian heard this, his heart moved and couldn't help but look at the other person, "He is the founder of American Online. He is so young, he is only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old?"

Before the bursting of the Internet bubble, AOL was very awesome. However, in just over a decade, the total capital of AOL had reached US$164 billion, with revenue of US$4.8 billion, profit of US$762 million, and employees of 12,100 people. It became the world's largest online service company and the world's most famous e-commerce platform. Moreover, its instant online paging product ICQ dominated the United States. It can be said that AOL is the most famous Internet company representing the "new economy" of the United States. Its market value was twice that of the computer giant IBM at that time!

American Online is a big enemy.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Steve Case! Is there anything you need to come to Mango Company?" Li Zetian asked.

"That's right, our American Online Company has developed an online service system, and I hope it can be installed on a Mango computer!"

At this time, the CEO of Mango Computer whispered to Li Zetian: "Mr Li, this guy comes almost every day. It seems that if we don't install their online service system, he will probably not give up!"

Li Zetian nodded, expressed his understanding, turned to look at Steve Case, thinking that this guy didn't know how many computer companies he had gone to, and he was also so stubborn?

"Hello, Mr. Case, I first want to know the strength of your company. Mango Computer Company is a big brand company after all, and the companies we cooperate with are very powerful to ensure that consumers like our products!" Li Zetian asked in a faint tone.

Steve Case was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he quickly covered up the past.

"Mr·Li, don't worry, although AOL is a startup, our company is also very powerful!"

Li Zetian smiled and said, "Well, then you go back first. I will send someone to your company to check it out and then make some considerations."

"Mr·Li, why don't you take a look at our company's software first!" Steve Case hurriedly promoted.

"Don't worry, you can watch it in the future! I'm very busy now, don't worry, I will send someone to your company!"

"Okay!" Steve Case sighed in his heart.

As soon as Steve Case left, Li Zetian said to Dongfang Yuqin beside him: "Send someone to investigate the American Online Company, please go into details!"

"yes!"

At present, the online service market has no vitality at all, but it is no wonder that it will succeed in the future!

Afterwards, Li Zetian turned to look at the CEO of Mango Computer Company and consulted about the development of 32 personal computers.

On January 1 this year, Intel released the 32-bit Intel80386 chip, and Mango Computer Company began to develop 32-bit personal computers, which took 11 months and is expected to be successful soon.

Once 32-bit personal computers are released, they will inevitably crush 16-bit personal computers and become the mainstream at the moment. Compaq Computer Company in his previous life became an industry giant because it was the first to take the lead!

"The development progress has been completed for four-fifths, and it should be available for global release in April next year!" said Mango Computer CEO, "The operating system will use Microsoft's third-generation operating system Windows 3.0."

"Take me to the lab and have a look."

"Okay, Mr. Li, please follow me."

After a while, Li Zetian and others came to a laboratory and also saw the 32 personal computers being developed.

The appearance is similar to that of current mainstream computers, and it looks quite bloated.

Li Zetian looked carefully and felt that the reason why the desktop computer was bloated was mainly because the hard drive was too big.

At present, the specifications of the floppy disk have been reduced to 3.5 inches, which is OK. It will continue to be like this in the future until it is replaced by a USB flash drive. The hard disk is 5.25 inches, which is a huge one. Li Zetian only noticed this problem at this time.

Has Seagate not developed magnetoresistive technology?

Although Li Zetian doesn't know much about hard disks, he also knows that magnetoresistive technology is the key to hard disks.
