February 14, 2009 is Valentine's Day in the West. It stands to reason that people should stay with their significant other on such a bright spring day, or actively plan a romantic candlelight dinner that night.

But what was supposed to be a romantic day turned out to be another scene in the open-air Freedom Garden of the World Trade Center in Manhattan at 2 noon in the United States.

Today, this world-class press center is packed with people. Those who were supposed to create romance gathered here, eagerly looking forward to the upcoming press conference in this venue.

Among this crowded crowd, Wall Street Journal reporter David Doom sat firmly. He waited quietly, not at all as anxious as those around him.

Since 2002, David Doom has been following Internet projects.

PayPal and Yahu Mall that year.

Another year of LinkedIn, MySpace and Skype.

Later, Bing and YouTube, as well as all the reports on Spark Technology and Yugong Technology, and even Yang Zhiyuan's revelations about the Silicon Valley genius were all written by him.

After all, David Doom feels that his attention to these people who are closely related to PayPal has brought him considerable rewards. At least from a small editor to the position of editor-in-chief, his status in the Wall Street Journal has also increased.

More and more stable.

Today, the host of this conference is Yugong Technology.

Less than half a year or 195 days later, Yugong Technology is about to release a new product today after releasing iPhone Zero.

David Doom has established contact with Yugong Technology since last year, and some information was only delivered to him at this level, allowing him to sit back and wait for the "show" to begin.

It's just that the message wasn't detailed enough, so while he looked calm on the outside, he was pondering in his heart.

When he was slightly distracted, he heard a lively discussion among several people around him.

"Do you think Yugong Technology will consider going on the market after this product launch?"

"Emmm... It's hard to say. After all, Yugong Technology is a special branch of the Emperor Penguin family. It is a new platform independent of Internet projects. Even if it is not listed in the near future, it will not affect its future status."

Hearing someone's judgment like this, David Doom glanced at that person and agreed with it in his heart.

In January this year, LinkedIn, YouTube, ACS, Facebook and Twitter all submitted listing applications. Since the shareholders behind these companies are Ning Zimo, the industry currently refers to them collectively as the "Emperor Penguin System."

Probably in response to the combination of MySpace and Skype, the Emperor Penguin series took less than one month from submission to actual listing.

Just last week, this series of Emperor Penguin-type Internet companies were listed on the Nasdaq at a rate of one per day.

Although it is not an elite market, Wall Street, Silicon Valley and even the entire United States are very enthusiastic about the stocks of Emperor Penguin Internet companies. Even though the stocks of these Emperor Penguin Internet companies do not show the strength of Bing, they are also very popular.

All show their strong upward trend.

It’s just the time from listing to closing,

LinkedIn, which was listed on Monday, has grown from an estimated market value of US$15 billion based on the issue price to US$19 billion, an increase of 26% on the day.

The value of ACS listed on Tuesday increased from US$8 billion to US$11.2 billion, an increase of 40% that day.

The value of oil pipelines listed on Wednesday increased from US$30 billion to US$36.9 billion, an increase of 23% on the day.

Facebook, which went public on Thursday, saw a 45% increase in market capitalization to US$43.5 billion.

Twitter, which was listed on the last day of last week, grew by 30%, reaching 26 billion US dollars!

987+57+33+110+261+150

Within a week, the Emperor Penguin series became famous and became a hot investment project on Wall Street and even in the United States.

And this wave of madness has brought the names Emperor Penguin and Ning Zimo into more people's sights.

Because no matter what, Ning Zimo, the major shareholder in charge of Emperor Penguin and the two largest American social networks, also holds nearly half of the shares of the search giant Bing. Moreover, he also holds LinkedIn, ACS

, 30% stake in Internet projects such as YouTube.

If it weren't for his listing, his net worth on Nasdaq, worth more than 160 billion U.S. dollars, might have been hidden by him.

And it is precisely the news that this world has been released to the public, so that his identity as the emperor penguin alpha wolf and the overlord of the Internet can only be announced to the public.

But the impact of this is that his every move is in the eyes of the world.

No, a lot of people came to Yugong Technology’s new product launch conference this year.

David Doom knew that half of the people here came because of this person's identity.

They pay more attention to breaking news like whether Yugong Technology will consider going public, just like the young reporter just paid attention to.

No, once this topic is started, it will be a lively scene.

“I think the launch is certain, it’s just a matter of time.” One person said, “Yugong Technology officially started selling products in August last year. But it only took 4 months. Unlike traditional mobile phone brands, Yugong Technology only relies on

With just one iPhone, nearly 30 million smartphones have been sold around the world.

Although Apple’s mobile phone, which changed its release date last year, followed closely behind, the sales volume of less than 5 million units during the same period used a near-failure data to once again prove the success of iPhone Zero, the ‘first smartphone’!”

"Yeah, he is a genius from our Silicon Valley. The ability of this emperor penguin master is extraordinary."

A genius from Silicon Valley?

David Doom burst into laughter when he heard this.

Because of Yahoo's former spiritual leader Yang Zhiyuan, Ning Zimo was labeled as a "genius who escaped from Silicon Valley".

But everyone who really understands knows that the young man who dominates the Internet in the United States is a real Chinese. The "genius who escaped from Silicon Valley" is just the last piece left by the Chinese after their own companies were defeated in the country.

A fig leaf!

After all, using Bing to defeat Google, using iPhone Zero to defeat Apple, and using ACS and Office Cloud to compete with Microsoft cannot be said openly.

"30 million units is a sales volume of more than 15 billion US dollars!"

"I'm afraid you have forgotten iPhoore's software revenue." One person answered, "December data shows that iPhoore sold 15 million copies of various software at an average order price of 11.5 US dollars. In this part alone, Yugong Technology has

Can earn 50 million net income!"

"Yeah, 50 million net income a month is just in the form of commission. The application software trend started by iPhone Zero is likely to be the trend of smart phones in the future!"

"Does this need to be said?" Another person jumped out, "Now Microsoft, BlackBerry, Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung have all announced their own smartphone projects. After these big companies took action, the old-era mobile phones were basically eliminated.

"

"Then you think, after these big companies come in, will Yugong Technology's position in smartphones be affected?"

"What impact do traditional companies have on Yugong Technology?" The person who jumped out raised his eyebrows and glared, "Is there something wrong with what you said? After all, in addition to Microsoft, Black Devil has its own mobile operating system, including Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung.

These big names have all joined the Spark Technology Android System Alliance.

If there really is a war on smartphones, then the real enemies on both sides of the battlefield should be Spark Technology and Yugong Technology, right!?"

"No way? I think the head of Spark has some ambiguity with the genius who left Silicon Valley. How could he be a competitor?" One person smiled mysteriously, "In today's press conference, I heard that

Miss Li is also here..."

"Hey, that genius is really awesome. I heard that he has been flying frequently between China and the United States recently, and it seems that he has been exposed to the news that he has two girlfriends..."

"If we add this female boss, we will have three girlfriends..."

"Tsk, tsk, we really don't understand the happiness of rich people..."

The moment the topic was taken astray, David Doom felt that he could no longer listen.

What three girlfriends!

They are true business partners.

At the end of January, Spark joined forces with traditional brands including Nokia, Motorola, and Samsung, as well as Chinese brands such as Huawei, OPPO, BBK, and Xiaomi, to officially announce the release of Android smartphones this year.

Judging from the scene at the time, Ning Zimo's presence did indicate that there was some connection between Yugong Technology and Spark. However, a closer analysis shows that it was completely the result of the two founders of smartphone systems joining forces to forcefully promote smartphones.

business conduct.

As a result, in the eyes of these people, it becomes a charming and complicated relationship!

David Doom sighed slightly and continued to sit quietly on the stool waiting for the start of the press conference.

After all, this is the home of the Silicon Valley genius and Internet overlord, and his behavior has always been this way.

You never know what he is doing until the last moment.

But by the time you know it, you may no longer have the ability to catch up with him.

…

Dong Dong Dong,

When there was a knock on the door, Ning Zimo, who was sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, was pushed by Dong Qianqian before he could react. He suddenly turned his head and saw that the person walking into the dressing room was Li Ying.

Before he could say hello, Dong Qianqian took her long-time makeup artist out the door.

Then,

throughout the house,

Only he and Li Ying were left.

Their eyes met, and when she saw the tiredness on Ning Zimo's face, Li Ying frowned and walked over slowly as she looked at him.

Sensing her worry, Ning Zimo quickly put on a smile and said, "What's wrong? You just announced the good news of the Android system last month. You won't encounter any big problems at this time."

At the end of January, OPPO, Xiaomi, Huawei and other brands took advantage of the popularity of Spark and Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and other major brands to release Android phones, and took the opportunity to announce plans to launch Android smartphones.

At this point, Ning Zimo plans to take the second step in all layouts in the smartphone era with the iPhone Zero of Yugong Technology and the Android system of Spark Technology.

Although he has been traveling between the two places recently, matters including the listing of the company in which he holds shares are already a certainty.

And this kind of topic was the only way he could bring it up to distract Li Ying.

However, Li Ying looked at him without saying anything and still walked slowly.

Until she slowly put her hands on his shoulders, the two of them looked at each other in the mirror.

In the end, he could only let his chest, which he had stood up hard, sink together with his shoulders.

"Isn't it tiring to travel between places like this?" Li Ying looked into Ning Zimo's eyes through the mirror and asked softly, "Has Shengnan's condition gotten better?"
