Founded in 1992, DigitalGlobe is a small company with only one satellite and a market capitalization of around $250 million.

Although Williams Aerospace Airlines has been established for a short time, as soon as you hear the name, you know that the backstage is not simple!

The successful listing of Global Online and Isearch has almost given Henry a layer of divine light! But everything that has anything to do with him seems very unusual, not to mention that Williams Aerospace is still a company under Henry's name!

DigitalGlobe was shocked when it received a request from Williams Aerospace to buy it, and then held a meeting to discuss it.

DigitalGlobe is not the only company engaged in high-definition image services, and DigitalGlobe is in dire need of financial support if it wants to stand out and grow. If you can get Henry Williams, then there will be no financial pressure, and you can grow rapidly with the help of the resources of the group company!

After discussion, it was finally decided to accept the acquisition of Williams Aerospace Airlines.

Williams Aerospace has invested $500 million in DigitalGlobe, a 66.7% stake. In the following week, the two sides closed the transaction. DigitalGlobe is officially part of Williams Aerospace!

Shortly thereafter, ICQ took over the baton from Isearch and continued to list on the NASDAQ.

ICQ is involved in various industries, especially with Amazon, eBay, Alibaba in-depth cooperation, become a special tool for chat shopping, huge traffic. In addition, the launch of the ICQ gaming platform has made the company very profitable. Subsequently, in 1993, ICQ launched a virtual community (including the ICQ show, the personal image dress-up system). ICQ Farm, ICQ Pet, three heavyweight game products, quickly swept the Internet world!

The ICQ portal launched by ICQ quickly became one of the top three portals in the world, second only to Globo Online and AOL. Among them, the global online market share is 71.5%, while the US online market share is 14.5%. Although the ICQ portal has not been established for a long time, it has grown extremely fast, with a market share of 8.4%. Catching up with AOL is possible!

ICQ's revenue increased from $200 million in 1992 to more than $4 billion in 1993, an increase of 20 times, and the company's net profit was also surprisingly high, as much as $1.25 billion!

Time Magazine commented: "The Internet company with the most development potential!" Even Tian Shuai, CEO of ICQ, was elected the 1993 Person of the Year.

Nowadays, ICQ has become an essential tool for surfing the Internet, and almost every Internet user has at least one account!

Compared to global online. ICQ is even more legendary than the global online company, and even has to encroach on the portal share. Obviously, ICQ is more sticky to users with dating as the core.

The reason why Global Online has been able to occupy the largest market share, in addition to the first-mover advantage, the most important thing is to have global online email, which is used by almost more than 90% of the world's Internet users. In an absolute monopoly position. Now, Henry has handed over his blog and Twitter to Global Online, and his position will be even stronger!

Then, if the ICQ portal wants to steal market share, it may be difficult to grab it from the global online hand. Thus. The only thing it can grab is AOL's market share. Squeeze out AOL, and all that's left is the global online portal and the ICQ portal, and Henry can play whatever he wants......

Just the day before ICQ went public, most hotels in New York City were almost full, and countless people rushed to New York and NASDAQ just to buy stocks!

ICQ's IPO was the same as the previous two companies, with 200 million shares issued, accounting for 20% of the total share capital, but the issue price was $25.

The Nasdaq bell rang again, and Henry was almost familiar with the melody of the voice.

The decision was another crazy day.

At the close of the day, the stock price rose to $150, and the market value exceeded $150 billion, which once again proved that Internet concept stocks are hot!

When Henry appeared, reporters surrounded him.

"Mr. Henry Williams, how many more companies do you have to go public?"

Henry thought for a moment and replied, "There are many more, it seems that it is almost enough to ring the bell once a week, and it will ring for two or three months!"

When the reporter heard this, he was dumbfounded......

Sure enough, as Henry said, after that, almost every week, a company under Henry's name would go public.

Nicholas International E-commerce Co., Ltd.'s three major platforms have been listed: Amazon listed with a market value of $75 billion, eBay went public with a market value of $65 billion, and Alibaba went public with a market value of $30 billion!

PayPal Pay, the world's largest third-party online payment company, went public, with a market value of $45 billion!

The medical website Health website is listed, with more than 15,000 hospital franchise websites, the world's largest DNA database, the most complete disease database, the most cutting-edge clinical experience database, and a market value of 40 billion US dollars.

Real-Networks, the world's largest and first online video software, went public with a market capitalization of $22.5 billion.

The world's largest Internet music company, Tiantian Music, went public with a market capitalization of $25 billion.

IReader, the world's first Internet fiction website and currently the largest fiction website, was launched, with a market value of $10 billion.

In addition to the listing of pure Internet companies, even Internet-related server companies are also highly sought after, and Noah's Ark is listed with a market value of up to $55 billion!

Qualcomm went public with a market capitalization of $45 billion.

ARM goes public with a market capitalization of $16 billion.

……

……

The spate of listed companies was dazzling and stunned, and it only stopped in March. However, this has greatly stimulated countless people. During this period, not only Henry's company was listed, but other Internet companies saw that the market was good and hurriedly listed their own companies. Of course, the results are not bad, as long as this company belongs to the Internet concept stocks, or even a little bit of edge!

When I saw so many Internet companies go public, all of them are making a lot of money, and others are naturally jealous. They can't help but have a mentality of "monks can touch it, but I can't touch it?", and they have established Internet companies!

According to an incomplete survey, the number of global Internet companies has increased by 120,000 in the past three months!

The development of the global Internet has exploded at an unprecedented speed, making it the fastest period in history.

The Chinese government was stimulated to contact Williams Telecommunications to build a larger $5 billion submarine cable on their behalf. So, at the beginning of March, as soon as the news spread, China was internationally recognized as a "country with Internet"!

At this time, the Chinese government's own construction of the China Public Digital Data Network (ChinaDDN) was also completed and opened ahead of schedule. The network can reach 21 municipalities and provincial capitals, can provide 2.048Mbps high-speed circuits 776, other rate circuits 2588, 16 provinces and 17 cities of digital data network has opened services, is expected to cover more than 300 cities by the end of the year. Next year, it is planned that after Williams Telecommunications opens a new submarine optical cable, it will cover more than 2,000 cities across the country, further accelerate the popularization of the Internet, and strive to keep up with the world average!
