Chapter 4: Plans to Make a Fortune
Lin Ze walked into the Wanyu Internet café and paid the money in front of the counter, the cashier was a slightly chubby young woman, at this time the Internet café industry was in the early stage of great development, and the management was still very lacking, and there was no need to show ID cards.
Lin Ze looked around, this Internet café is not small, about nearly 100 square meters, more than 100 machines, almost all of them are seated. And the environment is also brighter, there is a faint fragrance in the air, and there are no smoking signs on the walls, so there are very few people smoking.
"This owner can run it!" Lin Ze made this judgment in his heart, walked to the corner and turned on an empty plane.
The operating system of the machine is actually Microsoft's win98, which really surprised Lin Ze, you know, this operating system Microsoft only released at the end of June last year! And the Internet café he used to go to was still win95.
After playing for a while, I was disappointed, at this time the network industry has just emerged, the three major portals Sina, Sohu, and NetEase have only been established for two years, and they probably only provide services such as news and information mailboxes, and the profitability of the website has not yet been determined, and most of them are supported by financing.
As for a few years later, Tencent QQ, the giant in the Internet industry, is still a rookie without a trace at this time. Lin Ze was disappointed for a while, once he registered a QQ number, and he has been with him for 14 years, as long as he goes online, he will open it......
When I was remembering, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my head, and a thought came to me: At this time, Tencent QQ has not yet developed, and I have the anti-heaven biological brain from 7456 to help, so ......
"Am I going to seize this opportunity! Be the founder of QQ yourself? At the thought of this, his heart couldn't help but flutter.
In 09 years, QQ registered * * users reached 1 billion, and in 14 years, the number of online users reached 200 million, becoming the first in the same industry in the world!
His breathing gradually became heavier, and his thoughts moved, and he turned on the 7456 biological brain and searched for Tencent's information across time and space.
The search struck him with a sense of joy.
In February 99, Ma Huateng and others established Tencent in China's SZ, drawing on foreign instant messaging software ICQ to develop QQ, of course, at this time it is not called QQ, but called: OICQ.
In November 99, OICQ registered * * users exceeded 60,000, and the increase in users required the continuous expansion of servers, and the server hosting fee of one or two thousand yuan has overwhelmed the company.
In 2000, the number of users surged even more, the financial pressure was greater, and at that time there was a lawsuit with ICQ, and at the same time, the first international Internet bubble swept the world, China was also affected, Tencent entered the most difficult period, almost sold to Shenzhen Telecom Data Bureau at a price of 600,000 yuan, but finally failed due to price reasons.
After that, Ma Huateng raised money everywhere, but ran into a wall everywhere, so he had no choice but to look for foreign venture capital, and finally sold 40% of the shares to raise $2.2 million from the United States International Data Group (IDG) and Hong Kong Pacific Century Digital.
Since then, Tencent's development has been smooth. Tencent's market capitalization reached $154 billion in 14 years!
Lin Ze secretly swallowed his saliva, this is trillions of yuan!
Lin Ze's greed finally occupied his brain: he wants to take Tencent for himself! This thought is out of control for a lifetime, and even the more I think about it, the more excited I become.
In 2000, 40% of the shares were already 2.2 million US dollars (18.194 million yuan), and if you want to control Tencent, you must have at least 3.5 million US dollars (2894.5 yuan)!
Nearly 30 million yuan, even 2014 is an astronomical amount for ordinary people!
Although Lin Ze was surprised, he was not worried.
Because he has an anti-heaven artifact!
"How can we save capital as quickly as possible from the end of '99 to 2000?" As soon as the thought came to mind, the 7456 biological brain quickly operated, and one by one the information was screened and compiled, and the last two pieces of information flashed in Lin Ze's mind:
……………………………………………………………………………………
First, the Yi'an technology incident. Yi'an Technology stock was manipulated, from October 25, 1999 to February 17, 2000, in just 70 trading days, the stock price rose from about 26 yuan, broke through the 100 yuan mark on February 15, and reached a maximum of 126.31 yuan on the 17th.
Second, international crude oil futures. 1. In April 1999, OPEC and other oil-producing countries began to take measures to limit production and ensure prices, and international crude oil prices rose all the way from $25 a barrel at the beginning of the year to $31.90 a barrel in March;
2. Later, under pressure from all parties, OPEC members reached an agreement in mid-March to increase production by 1.7 million barrels per day from April 1, and international oil prices once fell sharply to $21.30 a barrel.
3. The strike of Norwegian oil workers and the introduction of the United States believe that it has standards, which led to price increases in May; Oil prices rose to $34.55 a barrel in September on the back of U.S. oil inventories falling to a 24-year low and comments made by the President of Venezuela, the OPEC presidency, during a foreign trip.
4. Affected by the news that OPEC continued to increase production, the United States put strategic reserves of crude oil, the situation in the U.S. election was clear, and the United Nations extended the Iraqi oil-for-food agreement for 6 months, international oil prices began to decline in late November, and on December 14, it fell to 25.36 US dollars a barrel.
……………………………………………………………………………………
After Lin Ze browsed these two pieces of news, he gasped.
The share price of Yi'an Technology has risen by 100 yuan, if you hold 10,000 shares, it will be an increase of 1 million!
The profit on international crude oil futures is even more incredible, you must know that there is no bull market and bear market in the futures market, you can go long or short, and there is 10 times leverage.
Lin Ze breathed heavily, clicked on the Sina website, and looked at the news in a trance, but his mind was quickly calculating.
Speculated in stocks and then futures, and immediately set the steps, but then he was embarrassed by the principal, and he only had more than 2,000 yuan in his pocket at this time.
However, I was secretly relieved to think that Ms. He Xiuqiong would get a sum of money when she came back tomorrow. At this time, the record industry is in the last glorious period, and when MP3 is developed and people are downloading* songs from the Internet, the record industry will be impacted and decline rapidly.
After figuring it out, Lin Ze didn't bother thinking about it anymore. At this time, online games were not yet popular. Shanda has not yet been established, Chen Tianqiao does not know where it is, as for the bloody legend that swept the Internet in 01, the Korean Wemade Entertainment Co., Ltd., which developed it, was not established until February 10, 2000......
Now there are some local stand-alone games that are prevalent in Internet cafes, and Lin Ze was bored, so he also joined a StarCraft LAN, and after playing for a while, he felt bored and quit. Looking at the players in the Internet café playing happily and happily, I can't help but feel a stir in my heart again, this online game is also a big market for making a fortune!
At noon, I called and ordered a takeout to eat in an Internet café, and then wandered around the Internet at will. At night, there were many players who stayed overnight, and Lin Ze turned on the computer, lay on the table and went to sleep.
The next morning, a cleaner lady touched Lin Ze's chair, was awakened, looked at the time, it was already more than seven o'clock, rubbed her eyes, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then got off the plane and went out of the Internet café.
When he came to Huaiyun Mansion again, the security guard Wei Gang had already taken up his post, Lin Ze nodded to him as a greeting, and passed by him, but this time he did not stretch out his hand to block it, and revealed with a smile: "Come in, Mr. He worked as soon as he came back in the morning, and now he is in the company." ”
Lin Ze was slightly shocked when he heard this, this Ms. He is really a workaholic, it seems that her success is not for nothing! He smiled and said thank you, and entered the building.
When I arrived at Zhongjie Company, the staff was already busy at work.
"Brother Lin! You came so early? As soon as he arrived, he was discovered by Chen Weier. Following the prestige, I saw Chen Weier trotting over happily.
"Hmm." Smiling slightly, "Wei'er came early." ”
Chen Weier came to him, wrinkled her nose, pouted to the general manager's office, and whispered a little angrily: "Where, go to work at seven o'clock, it's the company's regulations." ”
"So early?" Lin Ze was a little surprised.
"Yes, alas, I won't talk about that, and I'll tell you good news." Chen Weier grabbed Lin Ze's left arm and led him to the general manager's office, smiling and pretending to be mysterious as she walked: "After Mr. He read the song you wrote, he liked it very much, and he has decided to hire him." ”
I don't know if Chen Weier did it intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Ze's arm rubbed the softness on her chest from time to time, making Lin Ze both dark and uncomfortable. Pretending to be surprised, he pulled out his hand and said happily: "Really? ”
"Hee-hee, of course!" In the depths of Chen Wei'er's beautiful big eyes, a complicated look flashed, and she replied with a smile, and the two were in front of the door, she knocked on the door and shouted, "Mr. He, Lin Da...... Mr. Lin is here. ”
There was a pause inside, "Oh, please let him in." ”
Chen Weier opened the door and made a look at Lin Ze, Lin Ze understood, pushed the door open and went in, Chen Weier immediately closed the door, she didn't go in, but stayed outside, her ears were close to the door, and she whispered.
As soon as Lin Ze entered the office, he saw a woman in beige professional clothes sitting behind a desk, looking at him with a smile. It's just that under her eyes, Lin Ze has a sensitive feeling of being scrutinized.
Calmly walked to the desk with a light smile, He Xiuqiong didn't get up to say hello, Lin Ze pulled the corner of his mouth, and he was not polite, pulled out the chair and sat down familiarly, glanced at the notebook next to He Xiuqiong's right hand, and asked with a smile: "Mr. He has seen it, what do you think?" ”
He Xiuqiong smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "Didn't that girl tell you?" Why did Mr. Lin pretend not to know? ”
Lin Ze's face changed slightly, coughed, and defended Chen Wei'er: "It's not her to blame, it's because I asked so tightly that she told me." ”
He Xiuqiong raised her eyebrows, "You can sell the company when asked?" ”
Lin Ze frowned, listening to her unkind tone, but there was still a smile in the corner of his eyes, and he said secretly: "She really deserves to be a strong woman in the shopping mall, her joy and anger are really elusive." ”
I didn't know how to answer for a while, and after being silent, Lin Ze said secretly: "My song is the most suitable for this TV series, I'm not afraid that you won't use it, you act like this, I guess you just want to give me a dismount." ”
But then he thought, "I'm an unknown person, why should I be defeated?" You pay for the song, isn't it just the two things that are cleared afterwards? Could it be that He Xiuqiong is still stingy with the money for three songs? ”
