The size of AppleNewton is very large, and the length and width of the iPad in the previous life are almost the same as 8 inches and 5 inches, and in the current trend of pursuing the smaller the product, the better, AppleNewton obviously does not meet the requirements of the market. The palm handheld computer is small and lightweight, and the price is cheap, and it is inevitable to crush AppleNewton!

Apple's failure to make Newton even worse, with a large amount of inventory in its warehouse not being able to sell, resulting in a serious loss. In recent years, Apple's market share has been declining year after year, and now it has slipped below 5%. The failure of AppleNewton became the trigger, and John Scully was forced to resign as CEO of Apple, and Michael Spindler took over!

When Michael Spindler took over, he had no idea how to get Apple out of the woods.

In the first quarter of 1993, Apple lost $400 million. Michael Spinder Alexander, and finally under his leadership, Apple finally began to rush to the hospital and decided to produce cameras and home game consoles!

Kodak cameras are very profitable, as well known for the week.

Nintendo's game consoles are even more money-mongering, and Nintendo's operating revenue in 1991 alone is comparable to that of the entire United States.

Michael Spinder seems to see the light in the darkness......

Apple will soon announce its decision to develop a camera and a home game console, hoping that the two products will turn the net around. When Henry saw the news, he couldn't help but laugh, Apple didn't even know how to write the word "death".

The competition in the field of cameras, Williams Electronics has said that the pressure is great.

After Williams Electronics obtained the licensed technology from Carl Zeiss, it combined it with its own microhard drives. The Williams camera was finally introduced. The core competitiveness of Williams cameras is mainly the large capacity of microhard disks. However, because of the use of micro hard drives, the price is relatively expensive, selling for $1,500.

After the product was released, although it was a hot seller, it still couldn't compete with Kodak. Canon, Sony and other companies.

What are Apple's core competencies now?

Lens technology is awesome? Or what?

Not at all.

After the launch of Apple's camera, the response was definitely mediocre.

As for Apple consoles...... Hehe, it's just the rhythm of looking for death!

The competition for home consoles is far more brutal than the camera. At that time, Sony PlayStation, Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, Nintendo N64.

Why do Apple consoles compete?

The shrimp soldiers and crabs will be involved in a war between giants and will be crushed to death casually!!

Henry couldn't help but shake his head.

Apple is bringing it into the ditch by itself. I really can't blame others!

……

The advent of the Clinton era means that the development of the Internet will advance at an incredible speed.

With the encouragement of the government, network infrastructure is being built in various states, and ISP Internet access service providers are booming.

As the number of Internet users increases, the more profitable Internet companies become.

Currently, the two most profitable Internet companies are Global Online and Isearch.

Both companies sell advertising, and although the annual revenue of global online is only more than $3.2 billion, the net profit is as high as about $1 billion. Isearch also has an annual revenue of only $2.5 billion. But the net profit was $730 million.

When the 1992 annual financial statements of the two companies were released, it caused a sensation.

Countless companies have entered the Internet industry. According to the statistics of Henry's domain name management company, an average of 1,000 domain names are born every day in the world.

At this time, the business of Noah's Ark's server hosting business immediately skyrocketed, and more than 1,000 server hosting sites around the world were already operating at full capacity. At the same time, there are quite a few companies that buy servers every day. Now, Noah's Ark's factory has begun to work overtime to produce servers.

Henry had long anticipated this. As a result, Noah's Ark expanded five factories earlier, and its production capacity increased by more than five times.

At the moment, Noah's Ark ranks first among server production companies in terms of shipments, much more than the combined server shipments of the next two companies. The market share once increased to 71.5%. Almost monopolized the global market!

The performance of Noah's Ark server is the best, and the brand awareness is also the highest. Now that the scale has expanded, the manufacturing cost has also decreased, and the Noah's Ark server has an advantage over other companies in terms of price!

IBM and Dell can only eat ashes in the back.

What makes Henry even happier is that Noah's Ark's blade server has been developed, and the conditions for building a large-scale data center are approaching maturity.

Blade servers are more than just blades, each "blade" is actually a system motherboard, each running its own system, serving a specified group of different users, and not related to each other. However, these blades can be combined into a cluster of servers, where all the motherboards can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment and share resources at the same time to serve the same user base!

In short, blade servers can go it alone or work together.

In addition, multiple blades can be plugged into a single chassis, which saves a lot of space.

Blade servers will basically become the mainstream of high-performance computing clusters, but they are expensive, and they are generally used in large data centers or fields that require large-scale computing!

Don't be afraid, Henry has money!

Besides, even Noah's Ark is Henry's, isn't it left hand to right hand?

However, Henry doesn't have much cash left, and the cost of the data center is not a small amount.

Henry decided to go public to raise funds for his Internet company.

At present, countless people have entered the Internet, resulting in a boom in Internet concept stocks!

Amazon, eBay, Alibaba can be spun off and listed.

There is also a global online, Isearch. ICQ, IReader Fiction Website, Everyday Music Company, and the recently established Hospital website.

Henry was busy for a while, and organized people to start planning for the listing.

It didn't take long for the outside world to hear about it. Henry's Internet companies will be listed en masse.

Time: "Rumors say that Henry Williams' Internet company is about to go public, and if it's true, then it's going to be the most sensational thing Nasdaq has ever seen!"

The Wall Street Journal: "Henry Williams' Internet companies are collectively listed, and their value will increase dramatically!"

“……”

Senior Wall Street Analyst: "Nicholas International E-Commerce Group has a market capitalization of more than $150 billion, and it owns three major e-commerce platforms, B2C platform Amazon, C2C platform eBay and B2B platform Alibaba. The three companies were spun off and listed. It is expected that the total market capitalization may be even higher than that of the parent company!"

"According to the data we collected, the net income of Global Online in 1992 was as high as 1 billion US dollars, and more than 50 branches or offices were established around the world, and more than 20 different languages such as English, German, French, and Chinese were launched, with a market share of more than 75%. Far more than AOL, which has a market share of less than 15%, ranks second!"

In addition, Global Online was the first profitable Internet company in the United States. In recent years, with the increase in Internet users, advertising costs have also increased dramatically!"

"At a cocktail party, Bill Gates once inadvertently showed an expression of envy and regret and said to others: 'With the advent of the Internet era, the global online is growing day by day, and making more and more money! Microsoft is difficult to catch up with ......."

Steve Case, CEO and Chairman of AOL, also said in an interview: "The presence of Global Online is very embarrassing for us AOL. First of all, judging from the name, one is Global Online, and the other is just AOL, as if AOL is inherently weaker......'"

"I expect that after the listing of Global Online. The market capitalization will be beyond imagination!!"

……

Preparations for the listing of major companies are in full swing.

Henry received news that NASA sent someone to SpaceX and would investigate SpaceX. At this time, SpaceX's launch vehicle was successfully built and ready for launch tests. Henry is very confident in SpaceX, after all, it is a top talent snatched from the Soviet Union, and the technical level is no worse than that of the United States, and in the field of launch vehicles, SpaceX may be stronger!

Henry asked SpaceX to buy a communication satellite from Lockheed, which can be regarded as a pre-acquisition contact, once born and twice matured, everyone is familiar with it, and it is no stranger to meet again......

Satellites are so expensive that SpaceX spent $150 million on the Lockheed communications satellite.

The cost of the launch vehicle manufactured by SpaceX is only about 50 million US dollars, and as for the launch fee, it is exempt because it is its own company to launch the rocket. If it were someone else, you would have to charge two or three hundred million dollars to say the least.

Usually, you have to have an insurance premium, two or three hundred million dollars. This money, of course, is paid by the other party.

Therefore, if you want to launch a satellite, it is normal to have two or three hundred million dollars.

The communications satellite purchased by SpaceX is classified as a direct broadcast satellite for professional use, and directly transmits television and radio programs to the public.

Henry's live satellite company can be laid out from now on.

What impressed Henry was that Motorola was awesome and launched the Iridium program, which attracted global attention.

The so-called Iridium program is to launch 77 satellites in space and build a global 360-degree satellite communication system without blind spots! No matter which ravine you are in, you can communicate with a mobile phone pointing to the sky.

SpaceX said that since you are going to launch so many satellites, you can cooperate.

Your satellite, I'll launch it.

However, Motorola did not trust SpaceX and politely refused. Come to think of it, if you are a novice, you will open your mouth and say that you will launch the satellite, in case the launch fails, it will not be a loss.

So, it's time for SpaceX to prove its capabilities.

On May 1, SpaceX prepares to launch a rocket.

Most of the media in the United States expressed strong attention, and thousands of media from all over the world came to the rocket launch site. At the same time, there are also many heavyweight representatives, such as the US Department of Defense, NASA, the US military, and so on......

The rocket built by SpaceX this time is called "Flying Eagle 1". When it was 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the countdown began.

At this time, the whole audience could hear the muffled voices coming from the radio.

“10，9，8，7，6，5，4，3，2，1，0……”
