In addition to Han Palace Bank, Liyuan has also established three subsidiaries: Liyuan Trading, Liyuan Shipping and Liyuan Industrial.
Liyuan Industrial is responsible for investing in the mainland and finding ways to revitalize the scrap metal.
Although these are old equipment that have been phased out in Hong Kong, it can still be achieved by opening a few joint ventures in the mainland. It can be regarded as recycling of waste!
For example, some plastic processing equipment and mold equipment were selected and a new plastic products factory was built in the Neizhou Development Zone. The total investment was US$3.5 million. Ahem.
In the past, Hong Kong's plastic processing industry was very developed. Just like Li Bancheng, he started his business by making plastic flowers. Therefore, he had a lot of equipment and assembly lines. But later he went into real estate, and the plastic processing industry was completely eliminated. In fact, compared with the mainland
, these devices are not backward at all.
With this plastic products factory, we can manufacture plastic casings and accessories for drinking fountains, plastic films used in local greenhouses, and plastic daily necessities such as buckets, washbasins, slippers, etc. Almost all of them can be exported to Africa.
Oh, and there is Russia. There is no need to worry about sales.
In addition, I used the scrap metal as collateral to take out a loan to order two new assembly lines, which will allow me to make plastic vats and plastic blow bottles for canned water in the future.
Anyway, it is an extension of the industrial chain and can basically be digested internally.
What other clothing factories, toy factories, shoe factories, electronics factories...
As a foreign equipment investment, if the investment is less than HK$500 million, Li Yuan can take your last name!
To be honest, there is no difference between 50 million and 500 million when switching from left hand to right hand. But as long as stable profits can be achieved, this asset can be easily liquidated. At least it can be mortgaged with a bank, right?
However, Li Yuan doesn't care much about those messy little things, so he should leave them to his eldest sister Li Susu and Sun Hao!
Therefore, Han Palace Investment and Liyuan Industrial are slightly different. Liyuan Industrial focuses on industrial investments such as factories, while Han Palace Investment is a venture capital fund.
Han Palace Investment's first investment was Parallel Line Technology. As an angel investor, it invested US$5 million and obtained... 25% of the equity. Ahem.
Anyway, he did nothing and blew himself up into a bubble. Now Parallel Line Technology is valued at US$20 million! But the company only has US$5 million in cash? US$2 million of which still has to be paid to Xiaoxiangzhu. What’s really going on?
Only $3 million was obtained?
In addition, only small shareholders such as Ying Xin and Wu Yongping still have some incentive equity reserved for senior executives...
…
After straightening out the internal affairs, Parallel Line Technology was on the fast track.
The company itself has the agency rights for the Haichi system. Although the sales volume has been greatly reduced and the price has plummeted, there are still a lot of agency fees every month to ensure harvests due to droughts and floods.
In addition, Parallel Line Technology has no new development projects, so there is no need to burn money at all. Therefore, this income is enough to ensure the company's normal operations.
In other words, Parallel Browser version 20 has been developed a long time ago. Even 30; 40; 50l..., Li Yuan is also ready. It is just a matter of picking a suitable opportunity to launch it on the market.
For other developers, this is a brand new project that requires a whole team to think hard and spend a lot of manpower and resources. But for a certain reborn bastard, isn't it just copying answers?
And in the future, the browser will be a simple small program. It will be similar to social software such as QQ. The development itself is quite simple. Even computer undergraduate students don’t bother to do this in their graduation thesis, otherwise they will be scolded by their tutors.
What a bloody nozzle! Because it’s too childish.
Of course, development is simple, but commercial promotion becomes even more difficult, and only the winner takes all! This is a problem on another level.
To be honest, Li Yuan can complete the development of subsequent versions by himself, and it is not as energy-intensive as writing work logs.
Li Yuan certainly knows that there is no good product in Internet companies, and it will definitely be involved in patent lawsuits in the future. Therefore, with the work log, there is evidence. It is not guaranteed to win the lawsuit, but at least it will not damage his own.
Reputation - I developed it independently. Occasionally, I think about it together with others. That's called heroes having the same opinion! Isn't that too much?
After all, the originator of all browsers is the ac browser, which still uses the front-end scripting language: avacrpt. It means that they are of the same origin, how can they not crash?
Back to Parallel America. After receiving hundreds of orders for customized homepages at the beginning, the number of orders in the following weeks exceeded a thousand.
Since everything is now outsourced to American programmers, each order requires a discount of US$1,200.
There is no doubt that for a loss-making business like this, no one will come to compete. Parallel Line Technology suddenly became famous, and actually gained the reputation of "King of Home Pages" in Silicon Valley?
Interestingly, some high-end corporate homepages can still make money because of their relatively high fees.
There are also some packaged businesses. That is, some companies or individuals are more afraid of trouble, so they simply package the purchase of computers, installation of software, even purchase of servers, establishment of internal LAN and other services to Parallel Line America.
In the early 1990s, computer equipment was still expensive and maintained a certain level of huge profits. And because of the extremely fast upgrading speed, there was a lot of water in it, full of junk and inferior quality. In the end, many users
Either choose a branded machine or choose an expert you can trust.
This was just like the domestic market later - a huge assembly machine market. The country even created a new term: copycat machine!
The exact same computer configuration, just missing the brand, can be hundreds of dollars cheaper. Now that we have the "King of Home Pages", we can simply package them all for them.
Later, this profit model became commonplace. This is actually a kind of traffic monetization - borrowing the traffic of the customized homepage and monetizing it by selling other products.
Although Parallel America does not sell hardware, it is possible to make a profit on this kind of door-to-door business, right?
And there are also Martin and his group of BB friends. They have obtained those outsourcing businesses and are enjoying making extra money. They also have parallel American labels.
To be honest, Li Yuan is really not interested in hardware. Otherwise, he really can create a new brand like "Parallel Line Computer".
However, as a result, the reputation of the "King of Home Pages" has become even louder. It has even made the outside world ignore Parallel Browser, and the first impression is of that "King of Home Pages".
And the money earned from monetizing these traffics can actually break even? It can very well make up for the shortfall in homepage orders?
Back to parallel China.
After a lot of hard work, the Oval Training School quickly completed the enrollment process. It enrolled 67 students in two classes. It also hired six substitute teachers from the university.
One of the classes is a computer major class. The students are all college students from the computer department and related majors. These students themselves have a good computer foundation. How about learning to make a TL homepage? A shorter three days is enough, and the longest will not exceed ten.
sky.
Therefore, in terms of course arrangement, the emphasis is on spoken English conversation, as well as some other office automation courses. They also quickly took over the outsourcing work of customized homepages.
And the other class? Let’s not mention it! There are so many hot Bei Wu goblins in it, and they are not pure in mind?
However, the combination of men and women is indeed not tiring! The learning atmosphere is quite good, and the progress is also satisfactory. After a month, most students, not including Beiwu, will be able to create simple web pages.
And with outsourcing to the country, Parallel Line Technology's profits have grown visibly.
By the way, when the first batch of students received the first 100 yuan, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole school, and soon caused a sensation in the capital university circle.
Not only did the school quickly recruit four new classes, but there were also many computer students... not only college students, but also graduates, university teachers, and even software engineers from scientific research institutions...
Seriously, can such good things be found outside?
As long as someone provides a guarantee, Parallel China can provide a computer to take home. And after completing 100 orders, this computer will be given to you for free? In addition, there is a labor fee of 100 yuan for each order?
One thing to say is that no matter how backward the country is, there are still a lot of computer talents in Beijing. Most people can easily complete simple tasks like tl home page.
The key is that I can't find such a job! What's more important is that my family can't afford a computer! Besides, one order costs 100 yuan, and 10 orders cost 1,000 yuan. When I take this huge sum of money home, my wife still dares to kick me out of bed?
Labor and management are finally proud!
For these people who come to the door of their own accord, Li Yuan just accepts all the orders anyway. He is not worried about the crowd at all, but is afraid that the orders will not be completed. There are thousands of them every week in the United States.
Li Yuan didn't know that after this saucy operation, he was the first to create an outsourcing model.
Unlike the original history, the first countries where Silicon Valley outsourced were Ireland and India, which are also English-speaking countries, but they turned into China? Laughing and crying
…
It should be said that at this time, Parallel Technology was still unremarkable in the mainstream circles of Silicon Valley.
So what if you are the king of homepages? The annual turnover is only about 10 million US dollars, a narrow market that is negligible. Besides, if you still lose money in exchange for shouting, how much money can you have to continue to burn?
In addition, Parallel Line Technology does not have its own core technology, nor has it established its own development team. It looks like a grassroots team that just grabs a vote and leaves?
It’s nothing more than outsourcing business? Using programmers as migrant workers to create those TL homepages with no technical content? It’s almost going to disgrace our Silicon Valley.
Oh! It seems that there is also a parallel browser. If no one reminded us, we might have forgotten about this small program.
However, not long after, Netscape finally launched the Netscape 10 browser and began a massive publicity campaign.
Since he previously developed the ac browser and shared it for free on the Internet, Anderson's reputation is much greater than that of Li Yuan, and he even has many fans across the United States.
They also include another founder - Jim Clark. He is one of the godfathers of the first generation of venture capital. In this era, he is much more famous than the later venture capital companies such as SoftBank and Sequoia. He has a very high reputation in Silicon Valley circles.
Reputation value!
Therefore, as soon as the Netscape 10 browser was launched, it received widespread praise.
There is a saying that the Parallel 10 browser is better than the ac browser, but the Netscape 10 browser is better than the Parallel 10 browser.
At that time, Li Yuan just wanted to be a little ahead of the technology, but not too far ahead of the times. Who would have thought that Netscape would be stimulated to establish it in advance? Nor would they have thought that Anderson and the others would be as shameless as themselves, busy launching incomplete products
What about the version of Netscape 10 Browser?
On the one hand, the industry's prestige is extremely high; on the other hand, Netscape is indeed technologically advanced. As a result, Parallel Line's limelight was suddenly overshadowed.
Netscape browser's market share is approaching 50 at almost the speed of light, while Parallel has plummeted to 28. There are still many other browsers on the market, and they almost occupy 22.
Suddenly, the Netscape was booming, and in the second month it achieved operating income of US$2.8 million, and the company's operations became profitable.
You know, the number of Internet users in two years will be 18 million. Will there be 1.8 million Internet users now? Therefore, the market prospects are very, very, very good!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, as long as you are not blind, you can immediately judge that another magical company will appear in Silicon Valley, and Andreessen and the others will create a
Wealth Myth!
In an instant, Netscape was almost overrun, and a wave of investors came to the door with dollars in their hands.
It was like a dream come true. Overnight, the two founders of Netscape were sought after by millions of people.
Jim Clark was relatively good, but the young man Anderson simply drifted away.
Facing the interview with the TV station, Anderson said enthusiastically: "...Silicon Valley now is like a pool of stagnant water. Silicon Valley once experienced the PC boom, and companies such as Apple, Intel and Microsoft were established one after another. Then in a brief moment of glory, Benzi almost took over.
Everything in America?”
"...In today's United States, technological development and economic growth have stagnated. All American children have become slackers in the 'generation'. They have no ambition and do not want to do anything. They live in mediocrity every day..."
"...Why is this happening? Is it because we Americans are not good enough? No! It's just because some companies are stubborn and stifle all new technologies in order to ensure their monopoly status..."
The reporter saw the excitement and said, "Anderson, are you talking about Microsoft?"
Today's Anderson is an angry youth: "That's right! I'm talking about the respected Mr. Bill Gates. His Microsoft uses its monopoly position in PC software to continuously suppress emerging software companies. And it also uses various methods to suppress emerging software companies.
Bad business methods directly eliminate those innovators..."
"...but we are here! We Netscape are here! It is no longer the PC era, it is about to enter the T era! Through our Netscape browser, each of us will enter a new Internet world. There is no oppression here
, there is no disgusting monopoly, everyone is equal, everyone can enjoy this free world..."
"...The evil dragon can't kill dreams, and it can't stop Netscape's success! Our ideal is to smash the old world--!"
After the news was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States! And it broke the news instantly.
Even ordinary people in the United States now know that a company called Netscape has issued a challenge and launched an attack on Microsoft...
