A week ago, on August 9, Netscape, a pioneer in search engines, went public. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It took only 16 months for it to be founded, and Microsoft was able to go public seven years after its founding, and Netscape was one step ahead of Hope Technology, becoming the world's first publicly traded network concept stock company.

In its previous life, its stock price soared from $28 per share to $74.75 per share, but with the addition of the Destiny browser in this life, the company was doomed to tragedy long before it went public.

Before Microsoft's Internet Explorer could kill it, Destiny killed it first.

The last time Bill Gates met Han Xuan, he agreed to Han Xuan's request to pre-install the Destiny browser in the Windows 1995 operating system.

And with 250 million US dollars and all the technologies and developers of IE Browser under development, in exchange for 10% of the shares of Destiny Browser.

Internet Explorer is just in the early stages of development, and it will take a long time to really complete it, and Windows 1995 will be launched this month, so it is too late, so this transaction cannot be said to be a loss for Microsoft.

Thinking about it from another angle, this also means that the Destiny subsidiary has not yet been listed, and it has really sold a part of its shares with a market value of nearly three billion US dollars, which is terrifying!

Han Xuan only received $150 million in that money, and the other $100 million was used for advertising, and WOW and GG were also pre-installed into the Windows 1995 desktop operating system.

After Windows1995 was launched, it was already possible to gradually change gossip-girl from software to website, that is to say, the $100 million, just to implant WOW chat software into Windows95.

It is estimated that only Han Xuan in the world will have such a big stroke, or such a forward-looking vision......

At present, Netscape's market share is only 16.8%, and Han Xuan's Destiny browser occupies 76.4%, which is still rising.

Before Thanksgiving last year, Netscape's market share was as high as 87%, almost monopolizing the entire search engine market.

In just half a year, the situation has changed dramatically.

The offering price was $28 per share, and the closing price rose by a measly $4.3 to 32.3.

It can be seen how optimistic shareholders are, Netscape Company shrouded in the halo of Han Xuan's HOPE Technology Company.

What's even more pitiful is that on August 10, its stock price fell by $0.78, and stocks that fell on the second day of listing are rare in the entire Nasdaq market.

Faced with this poor guy, Han Xuan was "kind" and ready to wait for the stock price to fall to the freezing point before going to negotiate with Netscape about acquiring it.

While most of Netscape's technology isn't as advanced as Destiny, some of the patents Destiny can be used to attract some of Netscape's loyal users......

Silicon Valley is now a paradise for entrepreneurs.

In Silicon Valley, the government is extremely lenient in its approach to business development and provides Stanford University with a large research grant.

In the fields of land use and taxation, preferential policies are also given to high-tech companies to encourage entrepreneurs to start businesses and develop in Silicon Valley.

But some laws are not good news for Han Xuan.

For example, the U.S. federal government has just issued new rules that set out tough antitrust policies to encourage companies to raise equity funds, but there are strict rules for companies that use the stock market to raise funds.

WOW chat software and GG shopping network, and even PayPal under development, have huge patent barriers, which is simply a nightmare that other developers can't get around, and the road to making the same type of software is extremely bumpy.

This approach has touched the edge of the US government's definition of the word "monopoly", but the government has not paid attention to the monopoly of Internet companies, so it has not investigated.

If this development continues, in the near future, HOPE Technology may become the second Microsoft and face antitrust penalties.

Therefore, Han Xuan planned to list some companies early on, bring other investors to share benefits, and at the same time find some allies for himself to increase the company's ability to resist risks.

However, he is trying to delay the arrival of the time to market.

Now, with each additional user of those software, it may have a higher value when it goes public, and it will not be possible to sell high-quality shares cheaply to others.

Han Xuan has recently thought that as long as the U.S. Department of Commerce does not send a final notice, he will continue to drag it out, which is quite shameless......

Near Silicon Valley, it's a sunny day today.

The skies of this important region of the United States, which has risen on the rise of high-tech development, are still clear blue, unlike the industrial cities elsewhere, which are forever shrouded in a hazy layer of dust.

The helicopter flew low and soon arrived in the city of Santa Clara, where HOPE Technology and Nvidia are located.

The last time I visited, most of the place was just wasteland.

There are now a large number of factories that are used to make Blueberry phones and Nvidia's first mainstream multi-function chip, NV1.

When Nvidia was first founded, the founders were poor and white, and they had almost nothing but a passion for designing intelligent core chipsets.

Han Xuan easily obtained the opportunity to invest in this company as an angel, and after two capital injections, he successfully obtained 74% of the shares.

Recently, with the investment in the construction of factories, as well as the merger with the Italian company SGS Microelectronics and the French company Thomson Semiconductors to form the SGS-Thomson Semiconductor Group, the purchase of technology licenses from them, and also invested a large amount of money, his stake, then rose to 78.1%.

Today, NVIDIA has officially started to produce NV1, a multi-functional mainstream chip with independent patent rights.

Japan's Sega Co., Ltd. and Nintendo Co., Ltd., two game giants, have taken a fancy to NVIDIA's graphics cards and game chips, although the number of orders is not much, but it is undoubtedly a good sign......

Distance.

Huge hanging towers line the bay near San Francisco Bay.

The Hope Candle Building is under construction, with four buildings under construction at the same time, and now it has been built to almost five storeys.

Every day, they continue to pull out a huge amount of money from the account of the Snow Mountain Investment Company.

I used to feel distressed when I thought about it, but at this time, these buildings really appeared in front of him, and Han Xuan suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

According to SOM Architects' expectations, it would take at least two and a half years to build and fully renovate, and we had to wait patiently for it to be completed in 1997.

The helicopter landed on the rooftop tarmac of the cylindrical Hope Technology Company's temporary office, and Christopher and Executive Officer Charlie Sr. were standing on the rooftop to greet the little boss...... (To be continued.) )
