Microsoft's IPO has been a huge success, with its market value rising from $12.5 billion to more than $21 billion, an increase of $8 or 9 billion, shocking the world!
Wall Street institutions say that Microsoft's stock price is inflated and will definitely fall in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Sure enough, in the days that followed, Microsoft's stock price was below $40 and its market capitalization was less than $20 billion, before finally stabilizing at around $18 billion.
Sure, it's still shocking!
These days, the media has been reporting the news of Microsoft's IPO.
Many entertainment magazines also made a special trip to report on Xiao Youran, saying that she was the smallest bell ringer in the history of the NASDAQ.
Countless people can't help but envy her, envy her for having a father who is the richest man in the world, and call her the richest second generation in the world!
In the bar, a guy was watching TV and said, "Made, I want to be a son of Chronos Li, and it's not common to ring the bell on the NASDAQ in the future!!"
"Huh...... With your crooked looks, if you go to be Chronos Li's grandson, he doesn't want you!"
"Damn, your hanging appearance is worthy of being his son??!"
"Lao Tzu is at least more handsome than you!"
"Handsome, you're paralyzed!"
The two of them got into a fight in the bar, and the other people in the bar were all stunned, and while watching the excitement, they said, "I'm going to fight over who should be the son of Chronos Li, and the two of them actually started to fight......
"Yes, the two of them are really wonderful! With their appearance, they are really unworthy, what is there to fight! By the way, do you want to see how handsome I look?" A man who thought he was good-looking held a glass of red wine in his right hand, facing his back at 45 degrees, and posed a pose.
"......" Everyone was speechless, and they rushed to be someone else's son, they were really drunk.
===============
Microsoft Corporation.
Li Zetian, Bill Gates and other company executives were in the conference room.
"Microsoft has raised $2.5 billion in funding, and with this huge financial support in the future, it will be able to recruit more talents, acquire some technologies and companies, and improve the development speed of Microsoft!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "IBM wants to compete with Microsoft in the personal computer operating system, and it will definitely lose, and it can only hope to !! in the future."
In the past life, only Sun Microsystems was called the most likely enterprise to replace Microsoft by the media and the industry, and that was because Sun Microsystems invented a super awesome technology -- Java language! Java does not need a compiler related to hardware, so in the Internet era, Java programs are not limited by computer platforms, and are especially suitable for programming on the Internet, which provides Sun Microsystems with a possibility to replace Microsoft in dominating the computer field. However, Sun Microsystems ultimately failed.
As for IBM, it is even less likely to be a match for Microsoft!
At this time, Microsoft is fledgling!
Li Zetian continued: "However, there are still many areas to improve the Windows operating system, and Microsoft must not relax. I'm bringing you together today to design a new product for Microsoft -- PowerPoint. It's a presentation software, and like Word and Excel, it's also a killer office software!"
Li Zetian takes so many shares, and he usually does not manage the company, but none of the shareholders have any complaints and opinions, it is precisely because his brain and creativity are extremely valuable, all the heavyweight software of Microsoft is designed by him!
Now, when everyone heard that he had designed a very powerful software, they were all excited, looking at him with anticipation, waiting for him to introduce what this PPT was.
Li Zetian smiled faintly, facing everyone's eyes, he was used to it.
He said: "With the advent of the graphical computer age, haven't you ever thought that Microsoft can actually do more? Haven't you thought that the huge market of commercial slides will form a perfect combination with the emerging graphical computer age?"
As soon as the words fell, a spark of inspiration suddenly sparked in the minds of everyone present!
Li Zetian looked at them and said with a smile: "Different from Microsoft-DOS in text format, the Windows 1.0 Windows operating system can make PowerPoint have more colorful materials, in addition to text, there can also be pictures, charts, animations, sounds, and even videos."
PowerPoint can be played not only on a projector, but also on a computer.
I firmly believe that PowerPoint can become an important part of people's work life, and it plays a pivotal role in work reports, corporate publicity, product promotion, wedding celebrations, project bidding, management consulting, education and training, etc."
The people present are all smart people, Li Zetian just mentioned it slightly, they have already realized the value of PPT, and they don't even need Li Zetian to say the specific design, they already know the general design direction of PowerPoint.
The crowd couldn't help but applaud!
"When PowerPoint is developed, it will definitely be popular all over the world!"
"Mr. Li, you are really amazing, with PowerPoint, Microsoft's core competitiveness has increased greatly!"
āā¦ā¦ā
Li Zetian smiled and continued: "PowerPoint, Word, and Excel are all indispensable office software, so I propose that Microsoft establish Microsoft Office office software suite for bundled sales, and PowerPoint, Word, and Excel are preceded by Microsoft Office, indicating that these three software are Microsoft Office components, thus increasing the visibility of Microsoft Office!"
"Agree !!"
"Agree !!"
āā¦ā¦ā
The crowd agreed.
Li Zetian nodded, quite satisfied, and immediately asked, "Do you know SNNDMSG?"
Some people nodded, others looked puzzled, Li Zetian said: "sndmsg is the world's first email software, that is, SendMessage.
In 1971, when the U.S. Department of Defense-funded ARPANET was in full swing, a very acute problem arose: the scientists involved in the project were doing different jobs in different places, but they were not able to share their research results well. Because everyone is using different computers, everyone's work is useless to others. They urgently needed a way to transfer data between different computers with the help of a network.
That's where SendMSG email comes in.
Ray Tomlinson, a doctor from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who worked for ARPANET, combined a software that could be copied between different computer networks and a communication software that was only used for stand-alone computers, and this was called sndmsg. Tomlinson chose the "@" symbol as the interval between the username and the address, because it is more obscure, does not appear in anyone's name, and the pronunciation of this symbol also means "in". The scientists at ARPANET welcomed this earth-shattering innovation with great enthusiasm. Since then, their genius ideas and research results have been shared with colleagues as quickly as possible.
Today, ARPANET has grown to become the largest network in the world, and email has been a huge part of its success!"
Bill Gates frowned slightly, and the email seemed to have no commercial value.
"Chronos, do you want Microsoft to develop email?" he asked.
"Hmm. Li Zetian nodded, there was naturally a reason why he suddenly asked for an email at this time......
PS: It was said that it hadn't broken out for a long time, and I tried to update two more chapters at night~~
