Chapter 328: The Internet Leaps and Bounds
In 1996, the speed of the development of the Internet in the United States can be described as fast, as long as you stand in front of the wind of the Internet, even a pig can fly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The companies under the matrix can be said to have accumulated enough strength, just waiting for the moment of explosion.
With strong financial support, the total number of employees in the American Matrix Building alone has exceeded 15,000, including more than 10,000 employees in 360 companies, Lianzhong World, and Google Search under the Matrix.
The Internet storm has blown in the United States, and the Internet technology stocks listed on the NASDAQ have started the mad bull mode, and even the unpromising Yahoo stock has doubled.
With the rise of the Internet and the popularization of computers in European and American countries, the number of Internet users has shown explosive growth, according to the Internet user data given by McKinsey, the Internet access users in Western developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan have exceeded 300 million, and the number of Internet users has exceeded one billion.
Many economic experts have directly asserted that the Internet industry will be the largest and strongest industry in the world's history, and newspapers and televisions in European and American countries are also like taking aphrodisiac ~ medicine, hyping the Internet economy every day.
The New York Times described Matrix Technology as a super unicorn in the Internet technology industry, which is also the first origin of the name of the unicorn company.
Sequoia Capital Headquarters.
JK Bob, vice president of Sequoia Capital, and Cruise, president of Sequoia Capital, sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke, and their faces were a little unpleasant, and after a long silence, Cruise sighed and said to himself, "Selling matrix shares to Microsoft is the biggest mistake in my life." ”
JK Bob has been very optimistic about Matrix Technology from the beginning, not to mention now, even the products they demonstrated last year are much stronger than the current Yahoo, Netscape, etc., when Cruise wanted to sell Microsoft shares, he strongly opposed it, but Cruise insisted on selling his shares.
"Mr. President, we have indeed done a wrong thing, not to mention Matrix Technology, even the 360 Technology Company that has begun to prepare for listing will not have an issue price of less than $100, and it will become a super large company with a market value of 100 billion US dollars as soon as it is listed."
Cruise looked up at JK Bob for a while and said, "Do you overestimate 360 technology companies, how can it be worth more than 100 billion dollars on its own, you must know that all the Internet technology companies listed on the NASDAQ can exceed 100 billion US dollars, only Microsoft, Cisco and other four companies...... The Huaxia government has given 360 a lot of support, but the Internet market in Huaxia is very small. ”
J.K. Bob looked back at Cruise and said, "I've studied Harry Potter, and no one can guess this man, and I'm sure he'll make 360 Tech a sensation before it goes public." ”
Cruise thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a way to make some amends....... If it were really as you said, 360 would be a billion-dollar supercompany, then I would have resigned from the board. ”
Just when the two bigwigs of Sequoia Capital were frowning, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, who were far away in Seattle, were holding champagne to celebrate.
Microsoft holds more than 15% of the shares of Matrix Technology, is the second largest shareholder of Matrix Technology, according to the agreement reached between Microsoft and 360 Company, once 360 Company is listed, it will greatly drive Microsoft's performance, not only will he make a lot of money with Matrix Technology, but Microsoft's stock price will definitely rise, and his personal assets will exceed 100 billion US dollars, which is no problem at all.

"It's really high!" Kong Jiehe and He Kun stood side by side in the office on the top floor of Lu Hao in the Matrix Building, looking down in horror at the pedestrians on the street who were slowly moving like ants.
"It's not the tallest building in Los Angeles!" Kong Jie was a little afraid of heights, and took a few steps back, although he was far away from the window, his legs were still a little trembling.
Lu Hao was accustomed to the height here, looked at Kong Jie and said with a smile, "It's not the first high, it's the second highest, Los Angeles is in the earthquake zone, so it's not suitable for building too tall buildings." ”
Kong Jie found a seat and sat down, and asked, "Is your office building in Xinhu taller than this?" Can it surpass the tallest building in Los Angeles? ”
He Kun glanced at him and said, "Don't you ask nonsense, this building is actually only 48 floors, and the Haohai Bank Building in Xinhu is more than 100 floors and 588 meters high." ”
Lu Hao was happy when he watched them arguing, "Classmate Kong Jie, this question is quite idiotic. ”
Kong Jie smacked his lips a few times and said unconvinced, "I was wrong just now, I want to ask if it can be taller than the tallest building in the United States." ”
How tall is the tallest building in the United States, He Kun really doesn't know, Kong Jie really asked him this question.
Facing He Kun, who was asked, Kong Jie became proud, "Aren't you smart?" Why can't you answer now? ”
Lu Hao opened the tea caddy by himself, brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup of tea and handed it to He Kun, "The tallest building in the United States is the Freedom Tower, which is the first building of the World Trade Center, with a height of 541.3 meters and 1,776 feet, but it is more than forty meters shorter than our Haohai Bank Building in Xinhu. ”
He Kun held the steaming teacup in his palm and asked, "Drinking tea is something that older people like, why do you love tea so much?" ”
"Drinking tea is good for your health, it's really earthy." Kong Jie will not miss the opportunity to strike and get revenge.
Lu Hao patted the table and said, "Okay, you two don't always like to fight, Haohai Bank Building will be the tallest building in the world after completion, but this world's first building will not be maintained for many years, and the height of the high-rise building will exceed a few hundred meters in the future." ”
He pointed to the chess on the lower floor of the coffee table, "Who will play a game with me?" ”
"Don't you know my level, I haven't played chess since I was in middle school, I used to play with you, and I can't win if you let me win, so you still let He Kun play with you." Kong Jie immediately shook his head, he didn't look for abuse, he didn't win almost a game of chess with Lu Hao.
He Kun also shook his head and said, "If you don't play, it's not interesting to play with you." ”
Kong Jie laughed again, "It's boring if you don't win." ”
He Kun still wanted to fight back, but was stopped by Zhao Ying, "He Kun let him order, the two of them are about to leave, and it will be difficult for you to find someone to fight with you in the future." (To be continued.) )
