Chapter 48 IMDB Listing
Half a month later, the IMDB website followed in the footsteps of Nicholas Shopping Network and was also listed on the NASDAQ.
The IMDB website has a very great influence in the film and television industry, and it is an indispensable part of the current film public opinion publicity! Among them, the main profit of the IMDB website is five!
One is the film promotion fee of the film company!
The second is to sell user rating data, through which you can see how much users of all ages like various types of movies, so that film companies can formulate strategies and decide what type of movies to make!
The third is commercials!
The fourth is to provide content services to traditional media.
The fifth is to make money by selling movie DVDs. IMDB is not strong enough now, and after it is strong, maybe it can also book tickets directly online to achieve online and offline layout!
In addition to these, there are more profit points to be developed, anyway, as long as there are users and traffic, the website can make money!
&nbDB website doesn't make much money, because there are too few users, and then you have to get rid of all kinds of expenses, it's already good to lose money! Fortunately, Henry can find out so many profit points by opening a gold finger, otherwise the IMDB website will definitely lose money!
The IMDB website was just a simple movie network, but on the day it went public, IMDB's market capitalization soared to $3 billion!
Internet concept stocks were suddenly warmly sought after by Wall Street investors, and AOL, as an Internet company, naturally benefited from it, and its market value soared, breaking through $7 billion for the first time!
On the same day, the stock price of Nicholas Shopping Network also rose by $1!
Subsequently, Henry received data from the domain name management company: "On the second day of the launch of the IMDB website, more than 1,000 domain names were registered!"
When Henry heard the news, he was shocked!
It seems that everyone is red-eyed!
The meat of the Internet is not so easy to eat!
Without traffic, even if you run a website, you can only lose money in the end! Broadband, servers, staff expenses, etc., are not a small amount! Of course, if you can go public and raise money, then that's another story!
Henry doesn't care about this, anyway, the domain management company and Noah's Ark make a lot of money from it!
To apply for a domain name, charge 100 dollars, 1,000 is 100,000 dollars, and the website will have to pay a management fee of 50 dollars a year in the future.
And in the days that followed, many people applied to register domain names every day. On such days, the money is received softly......
Noah's Ark's server hosting business has also skyrocketed, and many server sites built across the United States have begun to fill up. Noah's Ark has decided to expand more sites to meet the needs of users! Of course, the server has also sold a lot! The web Ark series of servers has been updated, the second generation has been launched, the performance is more superior, the price is more affordable, just this time is the Internet concept stock boom, countless people began to get involved in the Internet industry, the second generation of the web Ark server sold 400 units in a short period of time, and a server sold for 50,000 US dollars, a net profit of 20,000 US dollars, and earned 8 million at once! Subsequent orders also flowed, and the second generation server of Web Ark became the most popular server at the moment!
After IMDB went public, websites sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and Noah's Ark began to reverse losses and generate profits! The competition between servers became more and more fierce, but at present, Noah's Ark still occupies an absolute advantage! Two-thirds of the market share is occupied by Noah's Ark, and the remaining one-third is mainly divided by IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and other companies!
Noah's Ark attaches great importance to technology, accounting for 40% of its investment in technology, which is why Noah's Ark has always been in the lead......
And the research and development of the tall server of the blade type has also made great progress, once successful, it will be a milestone significance! Banks, telecommunications financial institutions or Internet data centers will definitely choose the blade server, because the main structure of this kind of server is a large main chassis, and many "blades" can be inserted inside, each of which is actually a system motherboard, similar to an independent server, they can start their own operations through the local hard disk! Each blade can run its own system and serve a specified group of different users, regardless of the relationship between them. Furthermore, system software can be used to assemble these boards into a cluster of servers. In cluster mode, all blades can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment, share resources, and serve the same user base. By inserting new blades into the cluster, you can improve overall performance.
Blade servers have so many advantages, will be the trend of future server development! In other companies are still making tower and rack servers, Noah's Ark has begun to take the lead!

With the listing and financing of Nicholas Shopping Network and IMDB, Henry's worth has skyrocketed, and if it is revealed, it will definitely shock everyone! However, he always hides behind his back and controls through the Nicholas Group Company! And the Nicholas Group of Companies is an offshore company established in the British Virgin Islands, and the shareholders in it, except for Geely Hurt, who knows that it is 100% controlled by Henry, no one knows how much Henry holds shares, only that he is the chairman, he must hold shares, and he is a major shareholder!!
This time, the Nicholas Group of Companies has listed two companies successively, creating four billionaires, more than a dozen multimillionaires, hundreds of millionaires, and under the company building, a row of ranking cars is simply blinding!
Henry's car is still an old Ford car, and he thinks that buying a car directly is too low-level, and ordering a bulletproof high-end sedan is awesome!
As his worth grew, he realized that his safety was at stake. Once known, he is a rich man, what if he robs himself. In fact, this is the reason why Henry is very low-key!
I have watched a lot of Hong Kong films, and there are often such and such rich people who are kidnapped for ransom, and Henry is also afraid!
After Nicholas went online, Henry cashed out $1 billion at the height of the stock price, and first placed an order for Ford Motor Company to order a bulletproof car worth tens of millions of dollars. However, custom cars are only beginning to be made now. Henry could only drive the old Ford. As for why you chose Ford instead of Japanese cars like Toyota or Honda. Hehe, you call Ford and hit them to know why Henry chose Ford.
The American car is as strong as the Americans' physique, and it will knock the little Japan to pieces, and there is nothing wrong with it, at most it will change the shell. And Japanese cars, then it is dangerous, and the owner is likely to hang up. Henry's parents died in a car accident in this life, and Henry still has lingering palpitations!
For the sake of safety, Henry recruited a lot of security guards, all of whom were retired soldiers of the American special forces and had first-class abilities. However, his No. 1 bodyguard, Sean Houston, inadvertently reminded him, "Every year, a large number of military personnel in the United States have nothing to do after retirement, and it would be nice to help them find something to do!"
Blackwater, the world's most famous private military and security consulting company, was decided in Henry's mind!
Mother Xipi's, black ~ society will have to be afraid of me in the future!! (the new book urgently needs everyone's support!)
