The word Internet is a very new concept in this day and age, even in the United States.

Although many old American investment groups do not have a special understanding of the new thing of the Internet, especially investment banks like Da Mo and Citigroup, the elite think tanks they hire with high salaries will also make the most accurate direction for their future investment.

That's the internet.

Among them, the farthest in Internet investment on Wall Street is the Traveler Group, in which Jester has a large stake.

But there are not many projects invested.

This is the case in the United States, not to mention in China, not to mention the establishment of domestic networks and the current charging prices, but the number of Internet users is very rare.

In Jester's memory, the first website in China should be Yinghaiwei, but even Yinghaiwei has not been established now, and it will not be established until May next year, which is a crucial company in the history of the domestic Internet.

In this era, if you make a website, you will definitely lose money.

In the United States, for example, AOL, which was invested by Travelers Group, had nearly 200,000 users a few years ago, making it the most visited website in the United States now, and, in Jester's memory, in the original history, AOL would be acquired by Time Warner at a very high price a few years later.

However, it is difficult to make a profit within ten years for a domestic website.

Jester remembers that when he was in that world, he had read some books and articles about the development of the Internet in China during this period, and in those materials, there was a very classic sentence that was used to describe the domestic Internet in this reckless era - everyone knows that the Internet represents the future, but no one knows how to live to the future.

It is nothing more than that, in a short period of time, the Internet is not profitable. And it also needs to invest money in it -- Yinghaiwei's assets were 80 million at the beginning, which was 80 million in the mid-90s, and as a result, it only allowed Yinghaiwei to survive until the beginning of the 20th century, when it was about to see the dawn, and the earliest Internet company in China, the pioneer, completely collapsed.

In fact, now facing the Internet.

Whether it is in the United States, where the Internet is the most developed, or in other countries, including domestic. In addition to the scarcity of the number of network users and the time required for the erection of network lines, these Internet companies that want to be the first to eat crabs are also facing a very important problem, that is, how to make money from the Internet.

Don't look at the current situation in the United States, investing in Internet companies is very popular, but these investors don't actually know how to make the Internet make money in the future, they just invest in the future. The Internet will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future, but as for how to make a lot of money, we don't care, it will always make a lot of money anyway.

For example. There is a very famous story that Zhang Chaoyang, the founder of Sina in China, introduced the prospects and future of his company to some executives of Da Mo when he was pulling venture capital, but Da Mo was listening to the people at that time. Obviously absent-minded, they actually didn't understand what Zhang Chaoyang was talking about. One female executive even fell asleep directly while listening to Zhang Chaoyang's speech.

In fact, there is no expert or scholar in the whole world who has a very accurate and clear summary and prediction.

With the development of Internet technology, what kind of impact will this emerging thing bring to us?

In Jester's memory, this was in the ninety-sixth year, when a professor of computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology named Negroponte wrote a book called "Digital Survival", which was the first time that someone described the future digital society in front of the public in a relatively clear way in front of everyone.

Then, inevitably, when such a book was published at the hottest time of the Internet, the sales must have skyrocketed.

This book has also been praised by all later people as the bible of the development of information technology and ideas in the twentieth century, the popularity and dissemination of this book has had a profound impact on the enlightenment and development of the information age in the last century, this book explains the basic concepts, trends and applications of information technology in simple terms, the great value and the grand blueprint of the digital age, and clarifies the impact and value of information technology and the Internet on the times and people's lives. The author, Negroponte, became the godfather of the field of information technology investment and trend analysis, and his popularity increased dramatically, and the intangible value he brought was immeasurable.

When Jester thought of this, he was a little moved.

At his status, money actually doesn't matter, no matter how much it is, it's a number, but no one dislikes more than reputation.

He wondered if he had written the book ahead of time and reaped endless fame and fortune? According to his current qualifications and status, he is indeed qualified to write this book.

You know, the impact of this book on future generations is too great, if the world can collect faith and sanctify, then the book "Digital Survival" can directly make a mortal soar in the day.

Jester has read this book, and more than once.

It is of course impossible for him to memorize it perfectly, or to repeat it, but after all, this book is a book written by Negroponte in 96 years, although his book pointed out a road to Rome for those who were engaged in the Internet and digital work later, but prophecy is a prophecy after all, and there will always be some deviations from reality.

But Jester is different, Jester has seen what the world will be like in the future after being profoundly affected by the Internet.

For him, when he wrote this book "Digital Survival", he did not need to deduce like Negroponte, but could directly and accurately describe the future world as it should be.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and Jester couldn't wait to start writing right away.

He took out a large stack of manuscript paper, then took out a pen and, almost without thinking, wrote the name of the book he wanted to write in English right above the paper.

Digital survival.

However, after writing down the name, Jester suddenly realized that because he could write so much, he didn't know where to start writing - there were too many things he wanted to write, so he looked at the name and was silent for half a minute, and Jester threw the pen aside violently.

Then he sighed. (To be continued......)
