The development of Noah's Ark is on the right track step by step.

The end of the year is approaching, and the annual financial statements of Henry's major companies have also been released.

Among them, Cisco's total sales exceeded 100 million US dollars in 1987, and its annual profit has reached more than 30 million US dollars, excluding various expenses. Pixar Animation Studio's financial deficit is as high as $3.5 million, and the Nicholas Group of Companies (including Nicholas Website, IMDB Website, Netscape Browser, Nicholas Logistics, and Global Online) is even more exaggerated, with a deficit of more than 40 million yuan, and Noah's Ark has a deficit of more than 2 million! The financial statements of the West German publishing house have also come out, with an annual profit of 19 million dollars!

The difference between fiscal expenditure and revenue is called the deficit, and Nicholas has too much to spend his money on this year. Build a warehouse, set up a logistics company, prepare to build a global online, advertise on TV, and add new products to the website. By the end of the year, under the auspices of Gilly Hurt, Nicholas had added music tapes, shoes and clothes to the website. But when things are sold, Nicholas is basically losing money and making money, online things are not only cheap, plus the website's operating costs, warehouse fees, and logistics fees, Nicholas is actually losing money!

Henry read the financial statements without a little surprise in his heart.

Losing money is nothing, and you lose money in the early stage of e-commerce. Besides, with the advent of the Internet era, Internet companies will be frantically sought after by investors! When we think of the Internet bubble, we can make a lot of money by listing any website! Henry feels that he can completely "feed the war with war," develop a website, and then go public. Develop another website, and then go public!

By the end of 1987, Netscape's market capitalization had shocked many people! When it first went public, Netscape's market capitalization had reached $500 million. And now, Netscape's market capitalization has exceeded 2 billion. Nicholas Group holds 77.5% of Netscape's shares, and if you secretly sell some shares on the stock market, Nicholas will have money. So, Henry is not worried about running out of money to burn at all!

"Chairman, your coffee. Helen brought a cup of coffee to Henry.

"Thank you. Henry took a sip and asked, "Is your mother's illness healed now?"

"Thank you for your concern, my mother is much better!"

"That's good!" After Henry finished speaking, he saw that Helen wanted to stop talking, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you, do you have anything to say?"

Helen hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and asked Henry, "Chairman, Cisco is also your company?"

"Oh yes, that's right!"

"That'...... You also set up the Cisco Charitable Foundation?" Helen whispered, her pretty face turning crimson.

"Yes!"

As soon as Henry finished speaking, he saw Helen in tears and rushed up to hug him: "Chairman, thank you for helping my mother, thank you for !!"

Henry felt two sponges squeezing him, and he didn't feel like he was acute. But what was even more unexpected was that Helen kissed Henry on the face after hugging him. Henry was stunned for a moment, feeling that his face was covered by a moist and soft lip flap, and he felt a throbbing in his heart for no reason!

Helen herself was startled, and immediately her little face turned red, and she ran back to her office like a fly.

Henry looked at her back and laughed to himself: "Little girl, you dare to kiss me secretly!!"

At noon, when Helen saw Henry, her face looked unnatural. When Henry looked at her, her face suddenly seemed to be dyed with a hint of sunset.

Helen has just turned 16 years old, but she is already 1.68 meters tall, and her figure is also very slender and plump. Although Henry was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was a little taller than Helen, about 1.7 meters. Since Helen didn't wear high heels, the two walked together, and Henry was a little taller. The company has its own canteen, and Henry likes to eat with the company's people, which can also increase Henry's affinity and enhance the cohesion of the company!

How embarrassed was Geely Hurt to go to the hotel to eat when he saw that the boss was all eating in the cafeteria! On Henry's day at Nicholas, he usually accompanied Henry to eat.

Today, Geely Hurt feels a little weird. He thought about it, oh, it turns out that Helen eats at noon every day, and always asks some questions at work, but today it is strange, she actually lowered her head, ate in a muffled voice, and didn't say a word!

"What's wrong with Helen today?" asked Geely Hurt curiously.

Where did Helen dare to answer, only buried her head lower.

Henry smiled: "Hehe, nothing. Helen just celebrated her 16th birthday yesterday and is already an adult today!"

"Yesterday was Helen's birthday?" said Gilly Hurt.

"That's right, Geely, you haven't given Helen a birthday present yet. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, Helen, I'll buy you a birthday present tonight, or your little boss will definitely show me the color." Geely Hurt said with an exaggerated expression.

"No, it's okay, it's okay if you don't buy it. Helen whispered.

"Why doesn't it matter? Geely, if you want to buy it, you can buy it now, and you have to wait until the evening, is there any sincerity?" said Henry.

"That's right, I'll go now!" said Geely with a smile, just as he finished his meal and could go to the mall not far away.

Geely Hurt was just about to leave when Henry called out to him: "Geely, buy one for me, thank you!"

"......" Geely looked at Henry and said speechlessly.

……

1988 came.

On January 1st, on this day, Global Online was officially launched!

As the world's first portal, Global Online has a very simple interface and looks clean.

At the top of the website is a beautiful global online logo.

Then here's what Global Online has to offer: e-mail, movie entertainment, news.

Below is a square-shaped grid that includes the most popular websites of the moment. At the top of the list is the Nicholas website!

The promotion of global online is a bit "crazy", because whenever you open Netscape Browser, the home page must be Global Online! And there is no function of choosing the home page in the "settings" of Netscape Browser, that is to say, users do not even have the right to choose! Now Netscape Browser is the gateway to the Internet, and Global Online is a portal website, a double monopoly, Henry sometimes feels that he does this, will it be too rogue?

However, what you offer to your users on your own is definitely the best. Since it is the best, why not be a hooligan? When he becomes a "big brother on the Internet," he naturally advocates "not being a hooligan and not doing bad things." And then build a security guard myself! Whoever is a hooligan, I did it!!!

If the name "Global Online" is a coincidence, the ghost doesn't believe it!

There are already quite a few people within Sequoia Capital who have started to jump on their feet, and they invested 15 million dollars in AOL at the beginning, and now AOL has grown to a certain size, and its users are much more than Nicholas's. Because they provide online services that are exactly what Internet users need today, such as e-mail, news and information...... They have even started to provide access network services, and the business has grown very quickly.

Sequoia Capital and AOL both swear that AOL will be the next Netscape!

The same will be a miracle on the NASDAQ!!

Just when Sequoia Capital and AOL were dreaming, Global Online suddenly came and blocked them!!

On the same day, the number of registered online users worldwide exceeded 2,000!

The next day, the number of online registered users worldwide exceeded 10,000!

On the third day, the number of registered online users worldwide exceeded 30,000!

On the fourth day, the number of registered online users worldwide exceeded 50,000!

A month later, the homepage of Global Online published a statistic: "There are 250,000 Internet users in the world, of which 240,000 are registered users of Global Online!!"

In addition to the role played by the mandatory homepage of Netscape Browser, the most important thing is that the services provided by Global Online are deeply liked by netizens, otherwise, others will not register!

Graphical interface e-mail is like an epoch-making thing, the interface is simple, the operation is simple, the functions are complete, and you can use e-mail on every computer connected to the network to manage your own account, instead of other e-mail, one computer is bound to one account. When it comes to movie entertainment and news information, Global Online also provides the latest and hottest entertainment news and current affairs news. Global Online has spent more than 2 million on recruiting editors to collect information alone.

All the things are the best, the most practical, and the most interesting for netizens. Therefore, success should also be taken for granted!

The global online flag is victorious, open champagne to celebrate. AOL, by contrast, is depressed internally. In the past month, AOL's subscribers have plummeted, from 30,000 to less than 1,000.

Steve Keys sat in his office with a gloomy face, smoking a cigarette and not saying a word.

Next to him, in addition to some of the company's top executives, was Sequoia Capital representative Ford Brooke.

Ford Brooke's face was ugly, not as proud as he had been when he showed off Sequoia Capital's financing of AOL in front of Henry. He asked, "Steve, have you figured out a solution?" Global Online has already turned its guns on us, and if we don't make an effective counterattack, AOL will be finished!"

Steve Keys snuffed out his cigarette butt and said coldly, "They have Netscape Browser to help them, so they have the advantage of being in the first place." Therefore, our first goal is to remove this thorn in our side! Otherwise, it will be difficult for AOL to compete with Global Online. Second, we have to change our email, they have GUI email, we also do GUI email, and we do the same function as them. We have done these two things, and we will definitely beat Global Online!"

Steve Case clearly didn't realize the true core competitiveness of Global Online. He thought it was just email and Netscape, but in fact, the portal was the core competitiveness of the global online network!!

So, even if Steve Keys does what he says, AOL's is no match for Global Online. What's more, Netscape and global online email aren't that easy to beat. E-mail is mainly used for communication and business, and few people will use several e-mail accounts, besides, after using it, they don't want to change it, which is human habit.

After waiting for the user to use the email for a while, Henry will get the level system out, log in once a day to increase a little experience, and after upgrading, open various value-added services. If you provide free cloud space, you can store files or pictures.

When Ford Brooke heard Steve Case's words, he was shocked, this Steve Keys was really bold enough to dare to challenge the status of Netscape Browser?!(I'm sorry, I have something to do today, and the update is slow, I'm sorry.) Please support us and vote for "The Emperor of Silicon Valley...... ）
