Chapter 1033 2017
In 2017, the year of the collective explosion of digital economy and technology companies, Alibaba's valuation doubled directly from its lowest point, and by the end of the year, Alibaba's market value exceeded $400 billion. Whether it is Double 11 or Taobao Tmall, the annual transaction volume has increased by more than 50% compared with last year.
Baidu search has gone abroad, and has made certain achievements in Southeast Asia, South America and other places, and has made good progress in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, coupled with the expansion of the Internet advertising market, Baidu's revenue has risen a lot. The market capitalization actually reached $80 billion, which seems to have reached the high point of the previous life.
Penguin has successfully found a breakthrough in social and casual games, that is, the international market, and they have given up the internationalization of the game platform and cooperated with Time Games. Overseas revenues continue to rise, and under the differentiated competition, penguins' social networking also has a good market. The market value in Xiangjiang is also 890 billion US dollars. It has become the second largest game company in China after Time Games.
Foreign Amazon, the development of e-commerce is naturally very fast, and cloud computing has once again become the world's largest cloud computing enterprise even with the sniper of Time Cloud. YouTube, because of the competition of Google Video, although it has maintained its market share, but the loss has been expanded, Amazon at this time in history is about to see the hope of profitability, but unfortunately it was made by Zhou Shi like this, and I don't know how long it will continue to lose. However, Amazon's market capitalization still exceeds $400 billion, with a maximum of around $450 billion.
Twitter, well, he has never been a pig's foot, Facebook is, although its global monthly active users have exceeded 2 billion, but because of the lack of Instagram and WhatAPP, it is much inferior compared to the previous life. By the end of 2017, Facebook's market value was around 400 billion soft girl coins.
Google's Android market share is around 45 percent, Time Android is 35 percent, Apple's IOS is 15 percent, and the rest is ChromeOS, which is dominated by the Indian market. Google's search market has been hit by forces such as Yahoo and Baidu, and its market share in the lighthouse country has dropped to 55 percent. In places like the European Union, it has dropped from nearly 100 percent to about 70 percent. Among them, Time Android, Apple's IOS two major operating systems have contributed a lot, as well as the development of APP, it is difficult to form a monopoly on mobile search entrances, and Yahoo search has made significant progress, which is what we have today. And the development of Google's other projects has not been very smooth, including Google Video, which has been suppressed by YouTube to the point that it is difficult to turn over, Google's social network, although there are hundreds of millions of users, but there are not many active users. It also maintains the world's number one search and mailbox and mobile operating system...... So Google's market capitalization peaked at $600 billion.
Chen Shouzong left Microsoft, Indian Nadella successfully took the position, and Microsoft's cloud computing business became the core focus. With the lucrative profits of Windows and Office, there are no financial problems with Microsoft's transformation. At the beginning, it snatched Walmart's cloud computing business from Amazon and Time...... What is called crazy and cool hanging sky, Microsoft's strength gives him a very vivid image. Its market capitalization is around $650 billion!
Apple? There's nothing to say, there's not much difference in market capitalization with Google and Microsoft.
Oracle, SAP and other traditional software companies, because of the sudden rise of the two cloud computing companies, Saifushi and NetSuite, the market value has stagnated, and the market value of NetSuite and Safushi has exceeded $50 billion, becoming two pearls in the capital market of the SaaS industry...... NetSuite, in particular, has MySQL, the world's largest open-source database software.
Netflix is the world's largest streaming service provider, and its market value has nearly doubled this year, becoming an Internet video company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars.
AMD's business expansion due to the success of the Zen architecture and the acquisition of Yahoo MIPS, as well as the popularity of Bitcoin, has led to explosive growth in the mining machine business, and its market capitalization has exploded to more than $20 billion. Intel's market capitalization is below $200 billion, and Qualcomm is even worse, with a market capitalization of around $70 billion.
What about the network of friends, Yahoo and Guoke, who have brought a huge impact to the world?
The development of Friends.com is limited by the domestic market, and the revenue growth is less than expected, and it has not exceeded 150 billion US dollars, that is, less than a trillion soft girl coins.
Yahoo's changes have been huge, first of all, in the search market, the second largest in the search market, known as the Lighthouse Country and the Flower Planter, respectively, occupy about 30% of the market share in the two places. In the Indian market, Yahoo is expected to be the No. 1 search engine service company in the market.
Yahoo Mail, Flickr, Yahoo, and Yahoo News have all exceeded 500 million users, and the subsidies of Toutiao's Yahoo official account have been further increased, and the average daily usage time of daily active users has even exceeded that of Facebook, with nearly 1 billion users worldwide. Yahoo Pass has officially surpassed one billion users worldwide! Yahoo Pay has been greatly popularized, and Yahoo Pass Mini Program has been launched, opening the way for its super app to become a god.
With more than 500 million LinkedIn users worldwide and more than 500 million DingTalk users, DingTalk has become synonymous with mobile office, with more than 100,000 developers settled on the DingTalk open platform, more than 160,000 enterprise-level application services, and more than 2 million enterprise organizations served by developers, covering various industries. The widespread use of DingTalk has caused a sharp decline in the use of office email......
People who didn't know why Zhou Shi divided LinkedIn into the cloud computing department at the beginning finally know that LinkedIn is really a cloud computing enterprise! Second, Yahoo's public cloud computing business ranks fourth in the world, and Microsoft shamelessly put Office365 into the cloud business income, and Yahoo Cloud naturally can't compare.
Yahoo's financial services division, especially Yahoo Pay, has developed rapidly in India, and Time Pay has invested in India's No. 1 and No. 2 e-commerce platforms respectively, but Yahoo has the assistance of YELP and has more offline use cases. Therefore, it has become the second and third mobile payment company in India after Paytm.
The development of Yahoo Pay in Europe and the United States is not satisfactory, and the biggest problem is not the usage habits, but the network problem. The number of telecom base stations in the flower plant is about to be 5 million, and the lighthouse country has only 200,000, so you can imagine how serious the signal coverage problem is. Yahoo can provide this service, but the user must have a telecommunications infrastructure that meets the conditions. Therefore, mobile payment is destined to be used only in areas with good network coverage in the short term.
Similarly, Huawei's 5G technology may really have a lot of room for improvement, and it may not be suitable for the overseas market environment. According to a data, the power consumption of 5G base stations is more than 3 times that of 4G base stations, and the coverage radius is smaller than that of 4G base stations, so more 5G base stations are needed. And it is not as easy to build a base station in most overseas countries as it is to build a base station in a flower plant......
In any case, Yahoo's market capitalization exceeded $350 billion by the end of 2017, and Zhou Shi's net worth once again exceeded $100 billion, making him the richest man in the world......
