The popularization of computers in the United States was relatively early, after Apple launched the first real personal computer in 1977, personal computers sprung up in the United States, and by 1987, in the long 10 years, computers were not a rare thing in the United States, at most a slightly more expensive item, and many wealthy families bought them. And the only thing that limits the popularity of the Internet is the development of the network backbone!

The development of the network backbone is obviously linked to interests!

In the previous life, Cisco only reluctantly launched the router in 1986, and the promotion speed was very slow, so naturally those capitalists would not bother to invest a large amount of money to run the American Science Foundation network. But even so, in 1987, the number of hosts connected to the Internet exceeded 10,000. Nowadays, due to the addition of Henry, Cisco has developed rapidly, and has launched router products in 1985. After that, Sequoia Capital did not take advantage of it, and raised 20 million yuan, which added full horsepower to Cisco's car, and the American Science Foundation Network developed faster and more commercialized.

According to Henry's data, there are 65,000 computer users in the United States connected to the Internet, and more than 10,000 private users in addition to school computers, governments, research institutes, and companies. The expensive network access fee has become one of the factors restricting ordinary people from joining the network, but because of the profitability, many large consortia are actively developing new commercial backbones!

The IMDB website is the most popular among universities. Young people love movies and communication, and IMDB gives them that. On January 15, 1987, the IMDB website gave "LuxoJr." a cover push, beautiful and lovely pictures, vivid and interesting introduction, many netizens after reading the information, all expressed interest in it, the overall score is 90.

In order to promote the animated short film, the material introduced that the film's main character, Jumping Light, is voiced by the famous genius novelist Henry Williams!

Henry Williams is almost a household name in the United States, N times more well-known than Han Han and Guo Jingming in China. The Harry Potter series of novels has sold more than 40 million copies, which is a very exaggerated number, which is simply a mountain to admire, and he is only twelve years old now, such an American genius child, if the media does not report it, if it does not publicize, if the people do not regard him as an American idol, this is not America......

The IMDB website dedicated an interview to Henry Williams, which was mainly about the film.

Henry, of course, boasted that LuxoJr. was by far the best animated short film he had ever seen, and that Pixar Animation Studios was the best team he had ever seen!

The media noticed Henry's news and immediately began to report it, and the IMDB website was also in the newspaper!

The IMDB website and LuxoJr. were originally only known on the Internet, but now even those who don't have access to the Internet know about them. Because of Henry, they were very curious about this genius child, just like chasing stars, and they wanted to know what he was doing. Now I know that he actually voiced an animated short film "LuxoJr.", and he praised the film as very good. This undoubtedly made most of the population curious about LuxoJr. as well.

"LuxoJr." is gradually gaining popularity, and it is just in time for the Oscar Oscar animated short film, which has greatly helped "LuxoJr." to be nominated for the award!

Soon after, Henry released a new book, Jurassic Park, which was sold out immediately, with the first printing of 500,000 copies sold out in one day, followed by an additional million copies.

"Jurassic Park" shocked the whole United States with its popularity, and immediately topped the best-selling list of American novels.

In New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and many other cities, there are already long queues outside bookstores, and some people even have to wait two or three hours to buy a book, which is so exaggerated that the media is shocked!

The Los Angeles Times reported: "Los Angeles traffic jam because of 'Jurassic Park!'"

The New York Times reported: "On this day, America only knows 'Jurassic Park'!"

The Wall Street Journal reported: "There are times when Wall Street doesn't speculate on stocks, because they are all lining up to buy books!"

"Jurassic Park" is a science fiction adventure novel that tells the story of Dr. Hammond who gathered a large number of scientists to extract dinosaur genes from the dinosaur blood in the body of prehistoric mosquitoes condensed in amber, and resurrected the prehistoric behemoth that had been extinct for 65 million years, making the entire Isla Nublar a paradise for dinosaurs, that is, "Jurassic Park". But on Hammond's first tour with his grandchildren, the dinosaurs went into !!

The American people were stunned by the whimsy and adventures in "Jurassic Park", and even expressed deep admiration for Henry, who even came up with such a story!

Not only did Henry's novel sell well, but its popularity soared.

At the same time, people are becoming more and more interested in the animated short film "LuxoJr." dubbed by Henry, and when they learned that "LuxoJr." was participating in the Oscar for Animated Short Films, they couldn't help but express their support!

The Oscar judges themselves have a good impression of "LuxoJr.", and now the public's call for "LuxoJr." to win the award is very high, and the Oscar judges are pushing the boat, and soon they announced that "LuxoJr." has been nominated for an Oscar for animated shorts!

After the news was released, the Pixar team immediately cheered, opened champagne, and celebrated warmly!

Henry also attended the celebration, but not long after, he left. They actually disagree with their own drinking, saying that American law does not allow children to drink alcohol, really, it is better to have Chinese law......

Henry did not immediately go home, he went to the West German publishing house.

He came this time to discuss a business.

Edward Joe, CEO of West German Publishing House and the largest shareholder of West German Publishing House, was smoking a cigarette in his office at the moment, looking pensive.

The book "Jurassic Park" was selling well, and it stands to reason that Edward should be very happy, but he was in a trance at the moment, like the cigarette butt in his mouth flickering! There was a knock at the door, and a beautiful female secretary walked in. Edward ignored her beauty, or rather, he wasn't in the mood to play with the unspoken rules right now.

"Is Henry here?"

"Yes, I'm already waiting for you in the reception room. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away. ”

Edward Joe straightened his clothes and walked out.

Henry sipped his coffee slowly, a faint smile on his face.

When Edward Joe entered the door, he barely put on a smiling face, and as he stretched out his hand, he said, "Welcome, Henry!"

"Edward, don't you seem to welcome me very much?"

"How can there be ......?"

Henry smiled, reached out and shook his hand, and said, "Edward, since Jurassic Park has been a huge success, let's discuss the issue of shareholding!"

Prior to the release of his new book, Henry signed an agreement with the West German publishing house that if Jurassic Park was a success again, the West German publishing house would agree to allow Henry to take a 30% stake in West Germany, and the stock price would be based on the original internal shares. If Henry's stake is successful, Henry will become the largest shareholder of the West German publishing house, and Edward will become the second shareholder.

There are more than 10 large and small shareholders of West German Press, and Edward only holds 26% of the shares of West German Press. Henry's stake in West Germany was something that shareholders large and small in the board of directors were happy to see and had always wanted. Only by firmly tying the interests of the publishing house to Henry can the publishing house make more money! The popularity of "Jurassic Park" proves Henry's value!!

But Edward Joe had his own thoughts, fearing that Henry's position on the board would be shaken by taking his place as the largest shareholder of the West German publishing house.

In fact, he is unfounded, Henry, a busy man, how can he have the heart to manage such a thing as a publishing house. He took a stake in the West German publishing house just to lay out the Internet entertainment media empire in the future. With Henry's help, the West German publishing house grew stronger and more and more potential to become a first-class publishing house.

In fact, Henry only had to follow the agreement to take a stake in the West German publishing house, and did not have to talk to Edward alone. But no matter what Henry said, he also had to take into account the overall situation and stabilize the West German Publishing House, so he explained to Edward: "Edward, although I have a stake in the West German Publishing House, I do not participate in the daily management of the company, and the company is business as usual!"

When Edward heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately became enthusiastic, and beckoned the female secretary to serve coffee, good coffee.

"Henry, come, coffee, the best Blue Mountain!"

"......" Henry was speechless.

At the end of December last year, Penguin and the West German publishing house both paid Henry $15 million, sent 9 million to George Lucas, and left 6 million, with 4 million remaining in his bank card. As a result, Henry now has $10 million left.

The West German publishing house is one of the leading medium-sized publishing houses in the United States, and it is ready to go public, and after going public, the market value will inevitably exceed $100 million. But when Henry bought the shares, he bought the original shares! 10 million was enough to take 30 percent of the shares. And once the news of Henry's stake in the West German Publishing House comes out, the stock price of the West German Publishing House will definitely increase significantly, so the shareholders of the West German Publishing House are actually not at a loss.

Before any listed company goes public, it has to find some large companies to subscribe for shares. Why is that? It's not about giving confidence to shareholders and boosting stock prices.

Look, so many awesome companies have bought this stock, and this stock must go up!!!

Henry still has a very great influence in the American publishing industry, think about his age, think about his achievements! If Henry takes a stake in the West German publishing house, it will mean that the West German publishing house will be reborn and its identity will be completely different from before. Before, it only published Henry's novels, but other publishing houses could poach Henry at any time! But now it can't, once Henry is tied to the West German publishing house, with Henry's genius, the West German publishing house will inevitably soar to the sky.

Savvy investors know this clearly!

Henry's 10 million yuan could not be used entirely to buy shares in the West German publishing house, and he agreed with the West German publishing house that he would pay for the future manuscript of "Jurassic Park". So, why did Henry sign an agreement with the publishing house before, and after the success of "Jurassic Park", he was allowed to take a stake in West Germany!!

Henry talked to Edward for a while, and then went home.

Soon after, the West German publishing house began a roadshow to build momentum for the listing. Henry's stake in the West German publishing house was also widely touted, but the details of the stake were not told to the media. (Vote......)
