The first thousand two hundred and forty-two chapters of today's computer industry structure
To be honest, Shengtang Company is now a little numb to the rate of return. If the return rate of other companies' movies can reach two or three times, it is a great success, and if it reaches five times, it is worthy of "universal celebration." However, this standard has only reached Shengtang Company.
It can be regarded as ordinary. The profit rate of the previous two movies exceeded ten times, especially
Especially "Toy Story", which invested 10 million U.S. dollars and ended up with a global box office of 900 million U.S. dollars, a full 90 times. Of course, there was some publicity and expenses, but the final revenue also exceeded 850 million U.S. dollars.
U.S. dollars, "Finding Nemo" ended up earning more than 600 million U.S. dollars, which was faster than printing money.
Liu Lang alone can stand up to hundreds of people, so the work of other people in Shengtang Company is easy. They only need to completely translate Liu Lang's intentions from paper into video materials. This is basically
Technical work, and Industrial Light & Magic is not short of technology.
Liu Lang went to Industrial Light and Magic and took a look around. Everything was working according to plan. Another thing was that Industrial Light and Magic and Wanan Company were cooperating to produce the game "Civilization 2". This game has been upgraded in terms of gameplay.
There are three more countries, and various weapons have been upgraded, making them more visually impactful and futuristic. Liu Lang feels that if this development continues, "Red Alert" and "StarCraft" can be produced in a few years.
This is no joke. In fact, the emergence of the "Civilization" game has increased the sales of Wanan Computers by 10%. Wanan has established a game software production department to produce games independently, and as a real-time strategy game
Liu Lang, the originator of "Red Alert", will certainly not let it go. In his previous life, this game appeared in 1996 and immediately caused a huge sensation. In this life, it has changed again. Liu Lang is planning to release it next year, which is 1993.
Start letting Wanan Company produce this game.
Liu Lang didn't want to make that kind of money, but he hoped that Wan'an Company would always maintain its advantages in the software industry and lead the development of the times. It was really difficult to do this.
A few years ago, Wan'an had an advantage in both hardware and software, but this advantage has gradually become smaller over the years, especially Intel, whose chip capabilities have gradually caught up.
There is no problem with Wan'an's hardware, and it has always suppressed IBM, but its software advantage is no longer as huge as it was a few years ago. Intel has caught up, followed by Texas Instruments. Each of the three parties has its own advantages, and they are all competing with each other.
The world's PC business in this life is hugely different from the previous life. In the previous life, the world's computer industry was dominated by IBM in terms of hardware, Intel was the dominant chip company, and Microsoft was the dominant software company. Of course, later, Apple
company.
In this generation, Wanan Company has become the undisputed leader in the industry, with a huge share of both hardware chips and software. However, Intel has unlimited potential because their talents are all bigwigs in the semiconductor industry. As for software, Microsoft is not yet able to
If it poses a threat to Wanan Company, it can only be regarded as a niche company.
Then the current situation of the world's computer business is very obvious. Wanan Company has become a big success, forcing other companies to join forces to fight against it. Therefore, despite the fact that Wanan Company is currently in the limelight, it is actually full of crises.
Liu Lang has a very clear view of the situation. Now Wan'an Company's various businesses are developing very well. After all, it is the largest computer company in the United States and even the world. It still has greater advantages in attracting talents. College students who graduate every year will give priority to Wan'an.
There is no problem with the company and talent.
The biggest problem of Wanan Company is the candidate for the next chairman. Wanan's eldest son Wan Lie is the successor appointed by Wanan, but his qualifications are still young and he cannot convince the public. Wan He has made great contributions to Wanan Company.
But he is a technical person and has no interest in management. He just wants to work on his own program design in peace and quiet.
This is a huge hidden danger. Once it breaks out, it will be earth-shattering. No matter how strong a company is, it will quickly decline if there are internal problems. Such things abound.
Wan An is now seventy-two years old. Even though his body is still strong and his thinking is fine, his age shows that retirement has long been on the agenda. But he also knows that Wan Lie is not convinced. Once the throne is handed over to him
He was afraid that it would arouse opposition from those old people, so he did not retire. He wanted to keep the overall situation under control and let Wan Lie gradually increase his power, and finally complete the handover without any bloodshed.
Liu Lang can't and can't take care of this kind of family matter. What he can do is to constantly remind Wanan Company how to go. The first thing is to continue to innovate. This is something Wanan Company has done very well, especially Wanhe.
, the Wanan Software Development Co., Ltd. he controls designs some practical software every year. This subsidiary has been called the trump card of Wanan Company by the outside world.
Nowadays, the market value of Wanan Company exceeds 10 billion U.S. dollars. Many people say that this subsidiary is worth three billion U.S. dollars. However, Wanan Software has not been listed on the market. If it were listed, Liu Lang's 20% stake would be a large amount.
Wealth.
This subsidiary company was originally designed by Liu Lang as a backup because he was afraid that Wanan Company would be in crisis.
In addition to continuous innovation, Liu Lang also secretly asked Wanan Company to develop Internet-related technologies. In fact, this is the future development trend and is more valuable than the computer itself. Wanan Company has also done a lot of work, but because the Internet at this stage is still
Many technologies are not yet fully developed without real development.
type, so these technologies were not really taken seriously. Liu Lang didn’t care. Internet companies were inherently different from the computer industry. Wanan Company only needed to do its job well. It didn’t have to transform. Those well-known Internet companies in the previous life
None of the companies made their fortune with computers.
Speaking of Internet companies, Netscape has now gone public. In just half a year, its market value has increased from 30 million U.S. dollars to 150 million U.S. dollars, a five-fold increase in half a year, making it the fastest growing company in the past five years.
Fengxing Investment Co., Ltd. also became famous in one battle. It initially invested 10 million U.S. dollars and received 50 million in profits. Netscape is growing at a rate visible to the naked eye. It is conservatively estimated to exceed 80 million in the second half of the year, and there is a high probability that it will exceed 100 million.
Market cap mark.
Liu Lang once again used superhuman foresight to lead everyone to get rich. Until he knew it, this was just the beginning. The Internet era in the United States had just begun. That era was a paradise for investors, and any Internet company could easily exceed 100 million.
, in this era, money is easier to obtain than paper
Well, what Liu Lang is doing now is to keep investing and spending as much as possible. One hundred and two hundred million is not too much, five hundred and eighty million is just right. This money will keep rolling in the future.
Earnings of more than ten times are small. For example, Fengxing Tianxia has invested in Yahoo. This is a cornucopia.
In the previous life, when Yahoo went public in 1995, its market value exceeded US$500 million in the first year, creating a miracle. By the year 2000, its market value had reached US$100 billion, making it the first company in history to have a market value over 100 million US dollars.
A billion dollar company.
Fengxing Investment now owns 30% of Yahoo's shares, which will be more than 30 billion in the future. Of course, not all of this money belongs to Liu Lang. He himself only holds 10%, which is more than 10 billion.
!Much more than Liu Lang’s entire wealth.
But this is not enough. Liu Lang has to cast a wider net. In short, he will make a lot of money in the coming Internet wave and become a tens of billions in just a few days.
