The Internet shock troops in my memory often use a standard title 'XX won the biggest winner', and every time I see it, I only feel some kind of weird malice. However, with the Atlanta Olympics closing on August 4, many people began to look back and suddenly realized that Eaglet could be the biggest winner.

Not to mention anything else, but on the second day of the closing ceremony, the stock market opened in the new week, and the stock price of Egrett rose 3.3% on the same day, from $439.1 billion at the opening to a high of $453.6 billion, which is enough to prove this.

This is certainly not for nothing.

On Monday, August 5, Westeros-controlled newspapers, television, and online platforms began massively promoting a series of data traffic from Egrett Corporation's online platforms during the Atlanta Olympics.

According to the statistics of Igret, during the 17 days of the Atlanta Olympic Games, a total of 320 million Internet users around the world participated in the interaction of Eaglet's portals, online forums, social networks, video websites and other platforms related to Olympic topics, accounting for 70% of the total number of 460 million Internet users in the world at this stage.

Because of this large-scale hot event, in more than two weeks, the network traffic of Igruta's entire platform skyrocketed by 27%.

Among them, the Facebook social network and YouTube video platform have seen particularly strong increases in users and content during the Olympic Games.

Although it will not be mentioned in the report, it is undeniable that the July 27 explosion has completely overshadowed traditional television and print media with more immediate and richer content.

Over the weekend of the bombing, Igrete also reached a peak in terms of traffic across its platform, with more than 80 million posts posted on Facebook within 24 hours of the incident, and 270,000 videos related to the bombing on YouTube.

As a result, the heat drives the traffic, the traffic contributes to the revenue, the revenue stimulates the market, and the market value drives the stock price.

The stock price rose 3.3% in a single day, and the wealth of all shareholders of Igrete increased by $14.5 billion in a single day.

This is obviously just an increase in the share price of the Igrets.

As the leader of the NASDAQ, the rise in the share price of Ygrit directly drove the entire new technology sector, and at the close of the day, the Nasdaq index also rushed to 4765 points, although it failed to break through 5000 points at the end of July and early August as expected by the market some time ago, but it is not far behind.

At the same time, the total market capitalization of all stocks on the Nasdaq market has reached $5.6 trillion.

Although the whole world understands that the Nasdaq bubble is already quite serious, the huge market capitalization that directly surpasses the size of Japan's GDP still excites too much capital and goes crazy.

Simon, however, was inevitably worried.

It's very simple, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

So Simon arrived in San Francisco on Monday and stayed in Silicon Valley for three days, mostly making some adjustments before the Nasdaq fell off a cliff.

The world is in a state of irrationality many times, just like two world wars, which seem inevitable, but in fact they are accidental, because in a rational state, no one would want to start a world-class war that will cause tens of millions of deaths, and yet, the war happened like that.

It's the same this time.

No one wants the Nasdaq to run all the way and burst after accumulating bubbles to the greatest extent, however, under the general trend, in the face of interests, even Simon does not dare to block it.

You can only do what you can.

There is not much that can actually be done, nothing more than to take precautions, so that the new technology companies involved in the Westeros system can survive the cold winter in the next few years, and a little more ambitious, that is, to let more valuable new technology companies survive the cold winter together and avoid fundamental trauma to the Internet industry.

In the final analysis, there is only one word to do this, money.

Without food in famine, people cannot survive.

In the capital winter, enterprises can only survive better if they get life-saving funds.

Simon openly and honestly discussed with several leaders of Igrett for three days, and roughly finalized the plan, first of all, to start tightening Igrett's purse, after the IPO, Igrett has more than $20 billion in cash in his hands, even if Simon emphasizes it again, it is inevitable that he will be more generous, and this must change.

Second, a new batch of large-scale data centers will be built around the world.

At this stage, even though Igret's cloud computing services are becoming more and more mature, many enterprises still tend to build their own servers, after all, most people are subconsciously more resistant to 'sending people under the fence'.

However, once the industry winter comes, it will undoubtedly be difficult for most new technology companies to maintain expensive 'self-built houses', so they will have to 'rent houses'. Igreta's new batch of data centers is primarily designed to meet this need.

In the cold winter, there is a 'house' and some 'food', and you can basically survive.

Finally, Igrete has also set up a dedicated enterprise assessment team to quietly evaluate all aspects of the current new technology company's operations.

Simon is not so fraternal.

When the cold winter comes, some companies are worth saving, and more can only give up.

Simon, on the other hand, didn't intend to do good deeds for nothing.

Although the entire Westeros system has been investing heavily in start-ups while developing its own key enterprises in recent years, it is conceivable that after the expected capital winter, after large-scale mergers and acquisitions, the Westeros system's control over the new technology industry will become more entrenched.

Thursday, August 8th.

Monday and Wednesday were in San Francisco, and on Wednesday morning, Simon flew to New York before eight o'clock and arrived on the East Coast, still in the middle of work.

When Girl A next to her softly reminded her to arrive at Daenerys Entertainment's East Coast headquarters on the Upper West Side, Simon had just finished reading some of the documents she had been reading along the way, and finally this was handed over by Girl C yesterday, a plan to cooperate with Starbucks to increase the Internet access function of Starbucks chain stores.

Again, the inspiration came from the recent Olympics.

At this stage, there is no mobile Internet, and several products of the Tinkobar company created by C-girl rely on the Internet, considering the consumer mentality, whether it is iCam or iRec users, they obviously want to be able to upload photos and videos to the network as soon as possible to share with friends.

Just like during the Olympics, Atlanta's most popular places to spend money are the Internet cafes located throughout the city.

Visitors from North America and around the world are looking for internet cafes to upload and share photos and videos after taking photos, resulting in Internet cafes in the Atlanta area filling up almost all day.

Simon had promoted the development of the Internet café industry a few years earlier, but it was still in 1991, mainly for potential users to try it out, so as to promote the general public to access the Internet service.

Now, at least in the plan in hand, the function of the Internet café has changed.

The problem is that it is too expensive to open a separate chain of Internet cafes, so it is undoubtedly a good choice to cooperate with Starbucks all over the United States and the world, and add a few computers to each Starbucks store for users to upload instantly.

It's actually a win-win solution.

Adding internet access, as did the later offering of Wifi, would allow Starbucks to attract more users. Similarly, uploading is easier and can also motivate consumers to buy electronic products such as iCam.

Therefore, both sides have shown a clear intention to cooperate.

The next question is the specific cooperation plan, and in the final analysis, it is still a matter of money.
