To be honest, Shengtang Company is now a little numb to the rate of return, and if the rate of return of other companies' movies can reach two or three times, it is a great success, and reaching five times is worth "celebrating with the whole world", but this standard can only be regarded as ordinary when it comes to Shengtang Company, and the yield of the previous two movies has exceeded ten times, especially "Toy Story" , invested 10 million US dollars and finally obtained 900 million US dollars at the box office worldwide, a full 90 times, of course, there are some publicity and expenses in this, but the final income also exceeded 850 million US dollars, and "Finding Nemo" also earned more than 600 million US dollars in the end, which is faster than printing money.

Liu Lang alone has hundreds of people, so the work of other people in Shengtang Company is easy to do, they just need to completely make Liu Lang's intentions from paper into video materials, this is basically technical work, and what industrial light and magic does not lack is technology.

Liu Lang went to Industrial Light & Magic to take a look, everything is done step by step, and there is another thing, that is, Industrial Light & Magic and VIE are cooperating to produce the "Civilization 2" game, this game has been upgraded in terms of gameplay, there are three more countries, and various weapons have also been upgraded, which is more visually impactful and futuristic, Liu Lang feels that in this development, it will not take a few years to produce "Red Alert" and "StarCraft".

This is not a joke, in fact, the emergence of the "Civilization" game has increased the sales of VIE computers by 10 percent, VIE has set up a game software production department, the production of games is independent, and as the originator of real-time strategy games "Red Alert" Liu Lang will certainly not let go, in the previous life this game appeared in 96 years, immediately caused a huge sensation, this life has changed again, Liu Lang is ready to start making VIE production of this game next year, that is, 93 years.

Liu Lang didn't want to make that money, but hoped that VIE would always maintain its advantages in the software industry and lead the development of the times, which was really difficult to do.

A few years ago, VIE had an advantage in both hardware and software, but this advantage has gradually become smaller over the years, especially with Intel, whose chip capabilities have gradually caught up.

There is no problem with VIE's hardware, which has always suppressed IBM, but the advantage in software is not as huge as it was a few years ago, Intel has caught up, and there are Texas Instruments behind, and the three parties have their own advantages, and they are all wrestling with each other.

In this life, the world's PC business is very different from the previous life, in the previous life, the world's computer industry hardware is dominated by IBM, chips are dominated by Intel, software is dominated by Microsoft, and of course, later there is Apple.

In this life, VIE has become the leading big brother in the industry, with a huge share of hardware chips and software, but Intel has unlimited potential, because their talents are all bigwigs in the semiconductor industry, and as for the software, Microsoft has not been able to pose a threat to VIE, and can only be regarded as a niche company.

Then the form of the world's computer business is now obvious, and VIE is making a big move, forcing other companies to unite against him, so don't look at VIE is in the limelight now, in fact, it is full of crises.

Liu Lang sees the situation very clearly, now the business of VIE is very good, after all, he is the largest computer company in the United States and even the world, and it still has a greater advantage in attracting talents.

The biggest problem of Wan'an company is the next chairman of the board, Wan'an's eldest son Wan Lie is Wan'an's hand-picked successor, but he is still young and can't convince the public, Wanhe has made a great contribution to Wan'an company, but he is a technical controller, and he is not interested in management, so he wants to be at ease to engage in his own programming.

This is a huge hidden danger, once it erupts, it is earth-shattering, no matter how strong a company is, it will quickly decline if there are internal problems, and such things abound.

Wan An is now seventy-two years old, even if his body is still very strong, and his thinking is no problem, but the age is there, and retirement has long been on the agenda, but he also knows that Wan Lie is not convinced, and once he is handed over, he is afraid that it will cause opposition from those old people, so he did not retire, he wants to calm the overall situation and let Wan Lie gradually grow his power, and finally complete the handover without blood.

This kind of family affairs Liu Lang can't manage, can't manage, what he can do is to keep reminding VIE how to go, first of all, to continue to innovate, which VIE company does very well, especially Wan He, he masters VIE Software Development Co., Ltd. every year to design some practical software, this subsidiary has been called the trump card of VIE company.

Today, the market value of VIE is more than 10 billion US dollars, and many people say that this subsidiary is worth 3 billion US dollars, but VIE Software is not listed, and if it is listed, Liu Lang's 20% stake is a lot of wealth.

This subsidiary was designed by Liu Lang at the beginning, because he was afraid of a crisis in Wan'an Company.

In addition to continuous innovation, Liu Lang also secretly let VIE research and development of Internet-related technologies, in fact, this is the future development trend, greater than the value of the computer itself, VIE company has also done a lot of work, but because the Internet has not really developed at this stage, many technologies have not yet been formed, so these technologies have not really been valued, Liu Lang does not care, Internet companies and the computer industry has a huge difference, VIE company as long as it does its own work, not necessarily transformed, none of the well-known Internet companies in the previous life made a fortune with computers。

Speaking of Internet companies, Netscape has now gone public, and its market value has risen from $30 million to $150 million in just half a year, 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, investing 10 million US dollars to obtain 50 million income, and Netscape is growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and it is conservatively estimated that it will exceed 80 million in the second half of the year, and there is a high probability that it will exceed the 100 million market value mark.

Liu Lang once again used superhuman foresight to lead everyone to get rich, until he knew that this was just the beginning, the American Internet era has just begun, that era is a paradise for investors, any Internet company will easily break 100 million, in this era money is easier to obtain than paper, now what Liu Lang is doing is to continue to invest, as much as possible. Spend it, 120 million is not much, 500 million 800 million is just right, this money will roll up in the future, and the income of more than ten times is less, such as Yahoo, which has been invested in the world, this is a cornucopia.

In the previous life, Yahoo went public in 95 years, and its market value exceeded 500 million US dollars in the first year, creating a miracle, and by 2,000 years, the market value reached 100 billion US dollars, becoming the first company in history with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars.

At present, Fengxing Investment owns 30 percent of Yahoo's shares, and in the future, it will be more than 30 billion; of course, not all of this money belongs to Liu Lang, but he himself owns 10 percent, which is also more than 10 billion! It is much more than all of Liu Lang's wealth.

But this is not enough, Liu Lang still has to cast a wide net, in short, to make a lot of money in the upcoming Internet wave, and becoming a billionaire is just around the corner.
