On the morning of November 20, 1994, Qualcomm developed a technology, and Li Zetian was overjoyed and went to inspect the company.

“Mr· Li, you see, this is the wireless LAN communication technology we have developed, iFi, the effective coverage of short distances can be within 50-100 meters, if there are no obstacles...... "Dr. Owen Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, brought Li Zetian to the laboratory to explain and demonstrate the functions of FI.

Li Zetian nodded secretly, nodded with great satisfaction and smiled: "Well, yes, it's even better than I imagined!"

Dr. Owen Jacobs laughs, "Of course, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the IFI, and we are confident that we will develop an even stronger IFI." ”

Li Zetian smiled, not doubting Qualcomm's strength.

"Have you applied for an IFI patent?" he asked.

"Of course!" replied Dr. Owen Jacobs.

"Well, the key now is to promote the IFI standard,!! Li Zetian said, "The promotion of the IFI standard is inseparable from the support of other companies." Qualcomm can cooperate with Galaxy Network to develop IFI wireless routers, and at the same time, cooperate with computer manufacturers such as Apple and Mango Computer and Microsoft to develop IFI wireless laptops!"

Qualcomm does not have its own factories and is an intellectual property (IP) supplier, similar to ARM.

So, Qualcomm didn't make its own wireless routers. In addition, the router was originally monopolized by the Galaxy Network, and the IFI wireless router was produced by the Galaxy Network Company, which was naturally the most suitable.

Dr. Owen Jacobs smiled, "Mr. · Li, that's exactly what I'm going to do!"

Li Zetian nodded, and then asked about the development of CDMA.

At this moment, an Australian research institute is also developing an IFI, which will be a strong rival of Qualcomm.

Under Li Zetian's very active leadership, Qualcomm, Galaxy Network, Apple, Mango Computer, and Microsoft gathered together to discuss cooperation.

With the help of Qualcomm, whether it is a wireless router, or the development of a wireless laptop, it will become very easy.

And Li Zetian also believes that with the support of so many powerful companies, it should not be a problem to establish IFI standards. At that time, even if Australian research institutions launch their own set of IFI standards, they will not become popular.

……

Soon, 1994 passed unconsciously, and by the end of December, there were more than 100,000 new Internet companies in the world, which was simply jaw-dropping.

During this period, some other Internet companies were listed on the NASDAQ, and the market value was quite high, far beyond the value of the website itself, which led to more people fanatical pursuit of Internet companies, and even completely lost their rationality and were almost blind.

Of course, there are still some cautious people who are secretly surprised, worried that this will be an alternative tulip bubble!

However, this kind of voice is pitiful, and the current Internet fire can be described as a general trend, and no one will listen to advice.

10 January 1995.

QQ has 29.5 million registered users.

For such a long time, Tencent has been burning money, losing $15 million a year, which has made the industry more and more unsightly, and the voice of public opinion is getting louder and louder, and many people have ridiculed Li Zetian for establishing Tencent, which is purely a loss-making transaction.

Even Time magazine made sarcastic remarks.

However, at this time, Tencent finally made the most powerful counterattack against these public opinions.

Tencent held a press conference, which was attended by dozens of telecom companies and mobile phone manufacturers such as Sprint, MCI, AT&T, Apple, and Nokia.

"Hello everyone, welcome to Tencent's press conference. Recently, due to Tencent's serious burning of money, it has aroused doubts in the industry, and many people have even concluded that Tencent will go bankrupt sooner or later! Hehe, I want to say that I am sorry that Tencent will not go bankrupt, on the contrary, it will become a great company, a Fortune 500 company!

“Chronos· Li once said that in the Internet age, traffic is money!

"QQ software has nearly 30 million users, and the daily traffic is very huge! Many people ridicule Tencent for its inability to make a profit. In fact, we had already found a profit point, but we didn't take immediate action to attract more users. At present, QQ software occupies the instant messaging market, and the time is ripe......"

"Now, I will solemnly introduce to you the profit method of QQ software!"

"Tencent will launch QQ membership and value-added services. All paying users can be called QQ members and enjoy value-added services. Value-added services include QQ level acceleration, increase in the upper limit of the number of QQ group members, QQ show, and the top ...... of red names"

"Everyone, please look at the big screen, the new version of QQ software will present these value-added services to you one by one!"

With the explanation of the CEO of Tencent, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.

"Damn, I also satirized Tencent before that it didn't find a profit point, but I didn't expect Tencent to come up with such a wonderful idea!! QQ membership and value-added services...... I have to say, it's amazing!!"

"QQ members are almost 30 million, if only one-tenth of the people pay, there will be 3 million! Oh God, isn't Tencent making a lot of money!"

"Hungry, QQ membership is not permanent, and you have to renew it every month...... This Nima, the losing Tencent company can figure it out, this is too good at making money~~!!"

“……”

The audience was noisy and discussed.

Tencent's employees raised their eyebrows now, didn't you laugh at Tencent before that Tencent was a money-loser? What are you doing now? Do you dare to say that we are a money-losing product? Hmph, I don't want to know who founded Tencent, Chronos· Li is such a genius, can his company lose money?

Tencent's CEO pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and he said proudly: "That's not all, Tencent's profit points are more than these!!

"Tencent has other ways to make money?!!

When everyone heard this, they were shocked again.

They already think that Tencent's way of making money is awesome enough, and they really can't think of any other way.

At this moment, the CEO of Tencent invited representatives of Sprint, AT&T, Apple, and Nokia to the stage.

The crowd looked at them with puzzled hearts.

"What's going on, why did Tencent call them to the stage?"

"Sprint and AT&T are telecommunications companies, Nokia is a well-known mobile phone manufacturer in Europe, Apple is only a manufacturer of personal computers, and in the last two years, it has also set foot in mobile phones, beating Motorola to become the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer. Could it be ...... Tencent wants to install QQ software into the mobile phone!!" At this time, the very shrewd people in the audience had already guessed Tencent's idea.

!!As you can see, there are telecommunications companies on the stage, AT&T and other telecom companies will jointly set up Monternet, and jointly build a mobile phone Internet platform AP, Apple and Nokia and other mobile phone manufacturers have expressed their support. The qq software will join Monternet, and telecom users can choose to open an AP on a monthly basis or pay by traffic to access the Internet on their mobile phones. In other words, mobile phone users will be able to use QQ software on their mobile phones in the future!"

"This is Tencent's wireless value-added business, we charge a part of the fee from the telecom company, and the more users who subscribe to it or use the data, the more Tencent will earn! According to statistics, there are more than 30 million users of GSM and CDMA mobile phones combined. However, with the improvement of the manufacturing process and the reduction of material prices, mobile phones are no longer expensive, and its popularity is very fast, and it is expected to exceed 50 million!"

After listening to Tencent's CEO's introduction, everyone couldn't help but gasp, Tencent actually used mobile phones to expand the number of users and influence, not to mention making a lot of money from it! Oh my God, who the came up with such a brilliant idea!!

At this time, people were shocked in addition to shock!

Tencent is also awesome, it's really a blockbuster.

And it's so enduring... Just to explode at this moment, slapped everyone in the face.

Experts and professors are silent.

The keyboard warrior retreats.

Media opinion immediately changed.

The next day, when all QQ users log in, the software is automatically updated.

The new version of QQ has more features and is more interesting than the old version of QQ.

The number of users who have become QQ members is very large, and the number of users has increased by 530,000 in just one day.

The monthly fee for QQ membership is 2 US dollars, which is not expensive or cheap, and the spending power of European and American users is very strong, which is nothing.

A month later, QQ members reached 9 million, which is equivalent to earning 18 million US dollars, which is the first month's income, and there will definitely be more QQ members in the future. If you include wireless value-added services, Tencent's annual revenue will exceed $1 billion.

Tencent is so profitable, when the people on Wall Street look at Tencent, their eyes are red, and they want to invest in Tencent, but it's a pity, because Tencent is Li Zetian's company, so they don't need their investment.

Wall Street really loves and hates Li Zetian.

Once the company created by Li Zetian goes public, they can make a fortune. However, Wall Street did not want to make a profit on the company he founded before it went public.

At this moment, Wall Street's valuation of Tencent suddenly increased from $2 to $30 billion, and many people were stunned.

Within Tencent, I don't know who accidentally spread the news, saying that the design of QQ and those wonderful ideas were all thought up by Li Zetian.

For a while, everyone was shocked by Li Zetian!

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet, and it is endless.

Li Zetian looked at the comments of netizens and touched a cold sweat.

"I wiped !! someone wanted to open my head and see what was inside... Chronos· Why is Li so smart?!"

"I'm going to recruit someone to provoke someone~~~"

Li Zetian is very innocent, but he really has a sense of crisis in his heart, thinking that if he performs so well, will he be treated as a guinea pig?

It seems that it is better to keep a low profile in the future.

Well, I've made a lot of money on the Internet, and it's time to focus on other industries. This year is already 1995, and in two years, the Southeast Asian financial crisis will break out again, and there will be opportunities to make money in the future. Now there is a terrible amount of money on hand, and only crazy investment in high technology can be spent.

In fact, Li Zetian is so desperate to make money because he is afraid that he will lack funds for scientific research in the future.

Li Zetian looked at Dongfang Yuqin and said, "Yuqin, let's count how much cash reserves the umbrella company has now." ”

Dongfang Yuqin was slightly stunned, "Mr· Li, have you made any big moves lately?"

"Hmm!" Li Zetian nodded and said, "I want to set up a super nuclear energy laboratory, a super solar energy laboratory, a super nano laboratory, and a super new materials laboratory!"

In terms of energy, Li Zetian has a "global power company" under his name, which was originally called the Hong Kong Electric Company, which generates electricity and supplies electricity in one.

Breakthroughs in nuclear and solar energy labs can move power companies around the world forward.

Especially in the super nuclear energy laboratory, Li Zetian naturally hopes to be able to develop nuclear fusion technology in his lifetime!!

At that time, there will be no shortage of energy on earth, and nuclear fusion can also be applied to the space industry, and interstellar long-distance tourism will not be a problem.

Dongfang Yuqin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll immediately order the financial statistics." ”

"Hmm. ”

Because Li Zetian has too much wealth, it will take a long time to count alone.

Two weeks later, Dongfang Yuqin took a copy of the data and put it in front of Li Zetian's desk.

“Mr· Li, the property data is counted, please take a look. ”

Li Zetian took the document and looked at it,, I don't know if I don't read it, I was scared when I saw it, it turned out that I was already so rich!

This data report is very complicated, because the huge cash reserves of the umbrella company are not only stored in the bank, but most of the funds are used for various investments.

Investment, naturally, it is money and money.

The more than $1 trillion earned by the Soviet Union was basically not used much, and over the years, the investment income and the dividends of the companies under Li Zetian's name added up to an astronomical amount.

“Mr· Li, the members of the family office have counted all your current worth in detail, and it has exceeded 5 trillion US dollars! The umbrella company has invested a large number of real estate, bonds, stocks, funds, etc., and the funds that can be mobilized in a short period of time are 300 billion US dollars!" Dongfang Yuqin said slowly.

5 trillion dollars, that's a lot of money!

As far as Li Zetian knows, many of his careers are still in the early stages of development, and if it were a few years later, he would not be worth more than $10 trillion.

Let's talk about Li Zetian's investment in China, with the development and growth of China, the assets have increased dozens of times!

Crazy, Li Zetian was almost crazy with joy!

Set a small goal, Made, by 2000, make enough $10 trillion !!10
