Chapter 1125: Netscape Inc

(Chapter 1123 is blocked.,I'm applying for lifting.,See if it can be successful.,If it's not successful, it's sent to the work.,I'm sorry readers)

As a senior executive of Fengxing Investment, Liu Lang has to go to the United States every two months to participate in regular meetings, as he imagined before, now there are many Internet-related enterprises in the United States, Fengxing Investment has specially done a survey, there are about more than 80, and even the concept of Internet companies has 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 95 years, and between 2,000 years, more than 300 companies became the darlings of the market, and these companies pushed the NASDAQ stock market from about 500 points to more than 5,000 points, creating a market value of trillions of dollars, but the value of these enterprises is undoubtedly seriously inflated, even more than the bubble produced by the financial crisis that occurred in the island countries last year, so just after the new century, the NASDAQ stock market collapsed, and the index plummeted by 70% in less than half a year, and the global Internet industry was full of mourning。

At the beginning, Liu Lang warned VIE not to get involved in Internet companies easily, but it must firmly grasp the technology behind the Internet and make great efforts in software, and VIE's software development capabilities are absolutely first-class in the United States.

In addition to the development of a large number of application software in recent years, there are also technical patents for directory and database services, registration services, information services and other technologies used in the Internet era.

In addition to VIE, 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.

Now the so-called Internet is mostly a pure connection, that is, some databases can be shared on multiple computers, there is no concept of social networking and no common website, even if there are some so-called Internet companies, it is just a conceptual company that shares a database or directory, but the name is very high, and such names abound online, but in fact, their products are far from the Internet companies of later generations.

Liu Lang looked at the enterprise investigation report, he had to take a closer look, because this report was popular all over the world, and he spent 200,000 US dollars to find a consulting company to do a professional investigation, which was very detailed.

Liu Lang has not studied much of the early Internet companies in the United States, and in this era, especially in the Internet bubble era a few years later, there are countless such companies like carp crossing the river.

Liu Lang saw that the names of some companies are quite domineering, such as the White House Online, global online services, etc., regardless of whether there is technology or not, the name is absolutely shocking, it seems that the degree of deception of Americans is definitely not worse than that of the Chinese, and even surpasses.

Liu Lang looked through and suddenly saw a company called "Mosaic", which had an introduction behind it.

Founded in January this year, the company has only been around for three months and is home to a browser named "Mosaic" from the National Center for Supercomputer Applications at the University of Illinois in Illinois, USA.

Later, Mark Anderson and Skoll Grave, who were at the heart of the development of "MOSAIC", set up the company "MOSAIC" in California, USA, and their main business was to develop this browser.

This company's browser products have attracted a lot of attention and are very popular, of course, because this company has been established for a short time and has not yet attracted attention on a large scale, but Liu Lang values him at a glance.

Needless to say, they developed a browser, which is a representative product of the Internet era, and it can be said that the emergence of the browser was one of the sparks that ignited the Internet boom later.

Liu Lang stared at this company and thought, it seems that this company should be the first Internet company to use browsers as products, which should be very famous in later generations, but Liu Lang really doesn't remember this company, well, or this company was thrown in the depths of 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, who loved the house and Wuma, at that time there were a lot of Internet books at home, Jobs's family history, Gates family history or something, Liu Lang had read it, and it was an era when the Internet was developed, and almost all knowledge could be found from the Internet。

Since Mosaic may become the first browser company, it is bound to leave a strong mark, Liu Lang squinted his eyes slightly, and his mind instantly entered his memory bank, to search for whether there was such a company in the depths of his memory.

Liu Lang's brain is now evolving again, as long as he has seen the words in his previous life, even if he didn't remember it at that time, it was also engraved in his memory, it turned out that he would sink his consciousness into his memory and try to find a certain moment, and then extract the data he saw or heard at that time, now he doesn't need to deliberately look for it, as long as he enters the keywords that want to know a certain information, the memory will automatically retrieve and directly find the front part of the memory, similar to the computer's search engine, is it powerful? This kind of brain memory automatic search ability even Liu Lang himself doesn't know how it was formed, but it's really easy to use.

Liu Lang's mind entered the search mode, and he soon found the company's information in the depths of his memory.

In March 93, the company's browser, Mosaic Netscape 0.9, was released, which was a major success and became the most popular browser at the time.

In October of the same year, in order to avoid the problem of trademark ownership with the parent company, it changed its name to Netscape Communications Company. In December of the same year, Netscape Browser 1.0 was officially released, and the software was renamed Netscape Navigator.

Netscape Navigator was sold as shareware, and because functions were added quickly, the market share was quite high at the time. After the accumulation of users in subsequent versions, Netscape has become the first browser market share.

In August '94, the company's initial public offering was a great success. Originally, the stock was valued at $14 per share, but the stock price doubled to $28 per share. At the close of the first day, the stock price soared to $75 per share, almost a record "first-day profit" at the time. Throughout '94, the company's revenue doubled quarterly.

"It turned out to be Netscape!"

Liu Lang immediately understood, this company is a veteran enterprise of the American Internet, once dominant, but the time is a bit wrong, in the previous life this company was only established in 93, this life was established two years in advance, 91 years ago, what's going on?
