1529 The Biggest Bubble Company?
For example, the current spider search engine, even if it passes the test this time, Yin Jun is not ready to put it on the project immediately and go to official operation.
Because the conditions are not ripe enough.
At present, the total number of companies and personal computers in the world does not exceed 50 million, and most of them are old products.
The so-called old computer products refer to computers that can only be used for simple computing without a motherboard, and are used 20 years ago.
IBM only produced the first real computer in 1981, which is different from the previous computers that were more focused on computer functions.
Now it is only more than two years, and with the efforts of companies such as IBM, Apple, Compaq, and HP, it is already a blessing for the new era to have 10 million or 20 million sales in the world.
Computers are moving so slowly, let alone the networks that determine what computers are used for.
The World Wide Web only began to enter the test use in February this year, although the free promotion model, so that the rapid development of the World Wide Web, but the network transmission speed, as well as the way to access the Internet, as well as the content of the network, etc., have restricted the development of the network.
But Yin Jun has been prepared for a long time, and since the beginning of this year, he has been going everywhere to acquire various related patents.
Tim didn't know why Yin Jun thought so far, but Yin Jun did just that.
Even though the Kirin Group owes more than $6 billion, Yin Jun still withholds all kinds of profits of the North American branch and acquires various patents in the United States.
The $100 million purchase of the patent that Bill Gates said was the largest deal to date.
The patent for this "multi-protocol router" is used in the Stanford campus network.
Stanford University is one of the top universities in the United States, so its degree of computerization is still very high, and so far, basically all computers have been replaced with advanced IBM, Apple and other computers.
But there is a problem, that is, so many computers of various brands are not compatible when they are connected to the Internet through the phone line.
So a couple, Bossak, the director of the computer center of the computer science department, and Lerner, the director of the computer center of the business school, used their spare time to invent a networking device, as long as they used it, they could integrate all the incompatible computer LANs together, so as to form a unified network, everyone used on the same platform.
After this technology came out, many companies were interested, including Apple and Microsoft, and they all asked if they could buy patents.
But Mr. and Mrs. Bossak and Mr. and Mrs. Lerner refused.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Yin Jun who won.
But it was not a hard-won victory.
In addition to the price of $100 million, this "multi-protocol router" also has a 10% dividend right that belongs to Stanford University and the Bossaks.
Although they no longer have a patent interest in the patent, they must pay 10% if the "multiprotocol router" and its subsequent derivatives are used for commercial purposes.
The inventors are Mr. and Mrs. Bossak, so why give a share of the profit to Stanford University?
This is because many teachers and professors at Stanford University sign a contract that "if a patent is developed during their time at the university, the university has the corresponding rights".
Stanford University doesn't take money for nothing, but if any teacher or professor tells the school that I have such an idea and is going to experiment to see if it can be patented, then the school will definitely help with funding and manpower.
Even if the experiment fails, it doesn't matter, and the teachers and professors will not be compensated.
But if patents are successfully generated as a result, then Stanford University will naturally have a share of the profits.
This tradition has been practiced for many years, and everyone has adapted to it.
It's not just Stanford, it's a lot of universities, and it's also in Europe.
Originally, they were already very satisfied with the $100 million, but Yin Jun proposed another additional plan.
It seems that the two professors and Stanford University were given money for nothing, but Yin Jun asked them to sign a contract, first of all, the two professors should cooperate to continue to improve the "multi-protocol router", and if technical force is needed, the R&D team can borrow the equipment and professors of Stanford University, and let them help improve the "multi-protocol router".
The two professors and Stanford University thought that this was a good thing, which proved that the Kirin Group has strong ambitions and wants to actively develop.
As long as they do a good job, 10% of the income is not a small amount!
So they happily agreed.
Just a few days ago, Stanford University set up a special group for the Bosses to take a group of computer elites to continue to study multiprotocol routers.
In addition to multi-protocol routers, patents related to network speed transmission, network switches, optical fiber transmission, etc., Yin Jun is also a big buy, and the total cost so far has exceeded 480 million US dollars.
These patents, coupled with the technical elites and experts poached with high salaries, Yin Jun was not classified into the North American branch, nor was it classified as Kirin Computer, but a new company was established.
It's called Kylin Networks.
The president is a 39-year-old industry elite named John Chambers.
If you are a person 20 years later, you will blurt out two words when you see the main direction of this company and look at the name of this president.
Cisco!
Yes.
Kylin Networks is exactly the same company as Cisco.
At least when it was established, it was like this, and the direction was exactly the same.
The reason why people who say 20 years from now, rather than people from 30 years from now, will feel extremely familiar with Cisco is because around 2000, in the unprecedented Internet bubble, Cisco was one of the most popular in the limelight.
Since that bubble, Cisco has been declining, and a year later, its market value has plummeted to less than $100 billion!
It's a full 80% shrinkage!
Although they once recovered a lot of vitality, in the end, they lost the huge Chinese market and the European market because of the "Ridge X Gate", and finally could only shrink back to the United States.
But in 2000, it could have a market value of 570 billion US dollars, and Cisco's achievement can really be called a miracle.
Of course, Cisco's market value of 570 billion must be watery, but this also shows how promising and optimistic they are in the field.
After Yin Jun founded Kylin Network, he could choose to make it an unlisted private company like other Kylin series companies.
You can also choose to take it to the market, wait until the market value exceeds $400 billion, violently sell the stock and cash out, and then wait until it plummets to $100 billion, and then buy it back.
The reason why it is not said that it will start selling again after 500 billion is because there are no fools in the stock market, especially those investment institutions and fund companies.
Those who are looking forward to selling again at around 550 billion can only think about it.
Whether a market has reached a bubble period or whether it has reached a very dangerous point, those cunning people can certainly see it.
Knowing that it is the highest point, it is very likely to collapse immediately, which idiot is willing to take over?
They will only be willing to take over when they are in a period of rapid growth and the value is expected.
Otherwise, when the market value is 550 billion, I am afraid that even small retail investors will not dare to come to buy and sell.
It's just that the price looks good, but it can't actually be sold.
400 billion is a good choice, it still has an increase of about 40%, coupled with the rising Internet bubble, people's buying sentiment is high-pitched, of course, there will be more people buying.
In fact, this is how Warren Buffett speculates in stocks.
He never buys the lowest price, never sells the highest, and as long as he makes a profit as he sees fit, then he will sell.
In previous financial crises, stock speculation is much more powerful than Buffett, but why is there only one Buffett?
It is because he is very cautious every time, although he does not earn the most every time, but in the long run, he does not have too much greed, but he has almost never missed, so he has accumulated to become a stock god in the future.
And those fund managers and angel investors who have successfully gambled at one time always think that they can be so lucky next time, so they usually fall like meteors in an instant
It's a bit similar to the name of a book, and if you get addicted to it, you'll die.
Of course, it is still too early to say that it is too early to sell the shares of Kirin Network, and now there is no one in the bag.
With the advent of the Internet era, we must first popularize computers on a large scale, and popularize the content and speed of the Internet on a large scale, so that we can bring many themes.
Nowadays, there is no spectrum of these things, so naturally there is no possibility of any Internet bubble.
At present, all Yin Jun has to do is invest and research and develop, and work silently, nothing more.
So he turned to John Chambers, an elite powerhouse who has been at the helm of Cisco for more than 20 years, and is the best person at the helm of Kirin Network.
Originally, Chambers was going to leave IBM this year and go to Wang An's computer company.
But Yin Jun started first, with a high salary and such a position, the 39-year-old Chambers didn't think about it, and came directly to the Kirin network.
The requirements and established policies given to him by the boy are also in line with the concept in his heart.
That is to buy all kinds of patented technologies on a large scale, and in the fields involved in the Kylin network, it continues to pile up patent barriers, becoming the first in the industry and dominating the entire industry.
In the previous life, Cisco became the world's No. 1 under such circumstances.
Now with Yin Jun's guidance, Chambers, who entered the industry one step earlier, does not have so many opponents, and it is not too easy to complete the hegemony.
However, being the first in the industry is just an honor.
The more important task given to him by Yin Jun is to connect the computer to the network as much as possible and improve the connection speed of the network port as soon as possible.
Only when the market is bigger and the capacity increases, then is the time to start making money!
