"Now it's just a speculation from the outside world, I won't admit it anyway..." Li Zetian shrugged and said. At present, there are not many netizens, and the value of the browser is not reflected. Therefore, even if people speculate that Netscape Browser Company was founded by Li Zetian, this matter will soon be forgotten. In fact, except for the industry paying attention to this matter, others do not care about it.

Sure enough, in less than half a month, the relationship between Netscape Browser and Li Zetian faded out of people's sight.

For Li Zetian, this is the best way to make a fortune in silence.

Netscape browser, Yahoo, and Google are all developing very smoothly. Of course, so far, these three companies have been losing money, but due to their small scale, they can't burn much money. Even if the three companies add up, they are probably only a few million US dollars a year.

With the invention of the World Wide Web and browser, more and more users joining the Internet, and the shocking release of the Yahoo portal website played a role in fueling the fire. Telecom companies have also realized the value of the Internet, so in the next six months, major powerful telecom companies across the United States began to vigorously build commercial networks. In order to maintain their leading position, Sprint companies are also working hard to build a larger fiber optic network.

By the end of the year, the coverage of sprint alone had exceeded nsf.

In the past six months, Li Zetian has not made any big moves. It seems to have become dormant and disappeared from people's sight. In fact, Li Zetian just calmed down to study, further study, and improve his abilities in all aspects. And how should the companies under his name develop or how to develop. As a hand-off manager, Li Zetian basically rarely participated. Of course, it is also because there is not much cash reserve in the umbrella company's account, and Li Zetian is waiting for the dividends this year. Only with money can he do things!

So, in January 1989, Li Zetian smiled. The dividends were getting more and more year by year. In 1988, the Umbrella Company received US$8.5 billion. If it weren’t for the “Black Monday” breaking out in 1987, it would take some time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the dividends would only be more!

After the Umbrella Company received the dividend, Li Zetian invested 1.2 billion US dollars in ASML, Applied Materials Company, Intel, Evolution Robot, and Coronos Industry. The more advanced the lithography machine, the more powerful the chips are!

Li Zetian has been acquiring Asml for many years. Technically, Asml has surpassed Japan's Nikon and Canon. In terms of market share, Asml even crushes both of them. You should know that Intel and wafer foundry are both Li Zetian's industry, and the production equipment of the chips they purchase are all from Asml and application materials.

In fact, Li Zetian no longer regards Japan's Nikon and Canon as opponents.

...

"mr·li, according to the data we have counted, as of January 1, 1989, the number of netizens around the world exceeded 250,000!" Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but say excitedly in the office.

Li Zetian smiled faintly and said, "As telecommunications companies enter the Internet access service industry and the popularization of computers, the number of netizens will show a leap forward! I guess, perhaps by 1990, the number of netizens around the world will exceed 1 million!!!"

What Li Zetian said is not without reason. The popularity of personal computers in the United States is very high, and the network is developing very fast. With the efforts of major telecommunications companies, more and more users will be connected to the Internet.

After a pause, Li Zetian continued: "In fact, 1 million is nothing. By the beginning of the 21st century, it may develop to 1 billion netizens!"

Dongfang Yuqin's little mouth opened slightly, looking a little surprised.

Li Zetian took a sip of water, looked at Dongfang Yuqin's expression, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't you don't believe it, the speed of the Internet development is beyond your imagination!"

Seeing that Li Zetian was so sure, Dongfang Yuqin believed it for a moment, and immediately thought of something and said, "Mr·li, the number of netizens is increasing, the pressure on broadband and servers is getting greater and greater. Coupled with labor costs, Netscape Browser and Yahoo Company spend more and more money every day, but so far, the two companies have no means of profit..."

Li Zetian leaned his head back on the chair and asked leisurely: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said, "That's how I think. Since so many netizens use Netscape browser and Yahoo portal online, can this kind of traffic be converted into money? As we all know, the higher the ratings of the TV industry, the higher the advertising. And we can also use the huge amount of online traffic to advertise!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he had to give Dongfang Yuqin a thumbs up because she was too right.

"You can think of converting network traffic into advertising revenue, which is already very powerful!" Li Zetian clapped his hands and smiled, "Yes, advertising will be one of the main profit methods for Internet companies! However, advertising will affect the user experience, and I am not planning to start an advertising business yet."

Dongfang Yuqin frowned slightly when she heard this.

Li Zetian explained with a smile: "Now the number of netizens, even if they open advertising business, how much money can they make? As long as they monopolize the market and do not give competitors an opportunity to take advantage of, they will naturally make money back in the future."

"Yes." Dongfang Yuqin nodded.

...

...

There are more than one smart person. With the increase of the number of netizens, the value of the Internet has gradually been reflected. More browsers have begun to appear on the market, trying to divide the market share of Netscape. The number of websites is increasing, but the Yahoo portal website is more popular. The stronger the strong and the weaker the weak, the "Matthew effect" is reflected in this point.

Find maps when you go out and search for Yahoo online!

The first thing most netizens do after dialing their accounts is to open the Yahoo portal, which seems to have become a habit.

From now on, as long as Yahoo doesn't make any big mistakes, other portals will definitely not be able to catch up.

Li Zetian often wonders if he can develop an Amazon website. Although e-commerce is a bit early, not only can he not make money, but he will even lose money, at least he has taken the lead and occupied the e-commerce market.

So, at the end of January 1989, Li Zetian called Jeff Bezos and asked him to lead the development team to build an Amazon e-commerce website.

After Li Zetian finished telling, Jeff Bezos was shocked and deeply shocked by Li Zetian's thoughts.

At this time, Amazon Bookstores are in the huge American bookstore market, and its size is not even in the top 30, but Jeff Bezos believes that with Amazon's e-commerce website, Amazon will sooner or later become the world's largest retail bookstore.
