As a senior executive of Fengxing Investment, Liu Lang goes to the United States every two months to attend regular meetings. Just as he had imagined before, many Internet-related companies have emerged in the United States, and Fengxing Investment made a special trip
According to a census, there are about 80 companies, and even Internet concept companies have appeared. Obviously, the Internet has gradually attracted the attention of the market.
In the previous life, the rise of Internet companies in the United States was around 1995. By 2000, more than 300 companies had become the darlings of the market. These companies pushed the Nasdaq stock market from about 500 points to 5,000 points.
The above has created a market value of trillions of dollars, but
The value of these companies is undoubtedly seriously inflated, even more bubbles than the financial crisis that occurred in the island country last year. So just after the new century, the Nasdaq stock market collapsed, and the index plummeted by seven percent in less than half a year.
Success, the global Internet industry is suffering everywhere.
At the beginning, Liu Lang warned Wanan Company not to get involved in Internet companies easily, but it must firmly grasp the technology behind the Internet and work hard on software. Wanan Company's software development capabilities are definitely among the best in the United States.
In addition to developing a large number of application software in recent years, we also have technical patents such as directory and database services, registration services, and information services for the Internet era.
In addition to Wan'an, software and telecommunications companies such as Intel and ATNT have also made great efforts in Internet technology and developed a number of technologies suitable for the Internet.
Nowadays, the so-called Internet is mostly a pure connection, that is, certain databases can be shared on multiple computers. There is no concept of social interaction and no common website. Even if there are some so-called Internet companies, it is just a shared database or directory.
The conceptual company has a very lofty name, with names like So-and-So Online everywhere, but in fact their products are far behind the Internet companies of later generations.
Liu Lang looked at the corporate investigation report. He had to look at it carefully, because this report was a professional investigation that Fengxing Tianxia spent 200,000 US dollars on for a consulting company to do, and it was very detailed.
There is not much research on Liu Lang, an early American Internet company. In this era, especially in the Internet bubble era a few years later, there are countless such companies like crucian carp crossing the river.
Liu Lang saw that some companies had quite domineering names, such as White House Online, Global Online Services, etc. Regardless of whether they had technology or not, the names were absolutely shocking. It seemed that Americans were definitely no worse at deceiving people than Chinese people, and even more so.
There has been.
Liu Lang looked through it and suddenly saw a company called "Mosaic". There was an introduction at the back of the company.
The company was founded in January this year, only three months ago. It originated from the National Supercomputer Applications Center of the University of Illinois in Illinois, USA. The center is referred to as NCSA. This center released a browser named "Mosaic"
.
Later, the core figures in the development of "MOSAIC", Marc Andreessen and Skoll Greif, established the "MOSAIC" company in California, USA, and their main business was to develop this browser.
This company's browser products have attracted a lot of people's attention and are very popular. Of course, because this company has only been established for a short time, it has not attracted widespread attention, but Liu Lang valued him at a glance.
Why did you fall in love with this company? Needless to say, they developed a browser, which is a representative product of the Internet era. It can be said that the emergence of the browser was one of the tinder that ignited the subsequent Internet craze.
Liu Lang stared at this company and thought. It seems that this company should be the first Internet company to use browsers as its products. It should be very famous in later generations, but Liu Lang really doesn't remember this company, huh
, or maybe this company was left deep in his memory.
Liu Lang was very interested in the origin and development of the Internet in his previous life, mainly because his wife Hong Yu was a computer engineer, Aiwujiwuma. At that time, there were many books on the Internet at home, including the history of the Steve Jobs family and the history of the Gates family.
Liu Lang has seen it and so on. Besides, it is an Internet publication.
In the modern era, almost anything you want to know can be found on the Internet. People like Liu Lang who like to read often browse various web pages and learn some new knowledge from them. However, this knowledge is very fragmented and there is nothing
Most systems can only be used as bragging rights for people to eat and chat.
Since Mosaic may become the first browser company, it will definitely leave a mark. Liu Lang squinted his eyes slightly, and his mind instantly entered his memory bank, searching for this company deep in his memory.
.
Liu Lang's brain has now evolved again. As long as the words he saw in his previous life, even if he didn't remember them at all, they were engraved in his memory. It turns out that he would sink his consciousness into his memory and try to find something.
moment, and then extract the data seen or heard at that time. Now there is no need for him to engrave
If you are looking for it, just enter the keywords you want to know about a certain piece of information, and the memory will automatically search and directly find the previous sections of the memory. It is similar to a computer search engine. Is it great? This kind of automatic memory search ability of the brain even Liu Lang himself
I don’t know how it was formed, but it’s really useful.
Liu Lang's mind entered search mode, and he quickly found the company information deep in his memory.
In March 1993 in the previous life, the browser Mosaietscape 0.9 developed by the company was released. It was a major success as soon as it was released and became the most popular browser at the time.
In October of the same year, in order to avoid trademark ownership issues with the parent company, the name was changed to Netscape Communications. In December of the same year, the official version of Netscape Browser 1.0 was released, and the software was renamed Netscape Navigator.
Netscape Navigator was sold as shareware. Because functions were added quickly, its share was quite high at the time. Through the accumulation of users in subsequent versions, Netscape became the top browser market share.
In August 1994, the company's initial public offering was a huge success. The original stock value was fourteen dollars per share, but pre-sales were so hot that the stock price doubled to $28 per share. On the first day of trading, the stock price soared to $28 per share.
Seventy-five dollars was almost a record first-day profit at the time. Throughout 1994, the company's revenue doubled every quarter.
"It turns out to be Netscape!"
Liu Lang understood at once that this company was a veteran of the American Internet. It was once all-powerful, but the time was a little inconsistent. In the previous life, the company was only established in 1993. In this life, it was two years earlier.
