Chapter 977: Reporter Interview
Netscape's listing can be said to be the world's attention, because compared to Microsoft, Netscape is a listed technology company that truly represents the Internet. From this point of view, the listing of Netscape is of great significance, and it is also because of the emergence of Netscape, which opened the prelude to the Internet era.
A small company that was founded just over a year ago, with a total investment of less than $16 million, has become a $2.5 billion company on its first day of public.
Early the next morning, the Wall Street Journal commented on Netscape's IPO, in which it lamented that it took GE 43 years to become a $2.7 billion company, and Netscape reached this goal in just one day, which is simply incredible.
Netscape's performance and soaring market value after its listing are both shocking and exciting, especially when it comes to beating competitors at the cost of getting the capital to invest in Netscape.
In just half a year, the previous investment has received a huge return, such a return on investment is unheard of, directly subverting the imagination of the investment community, and the Internet has also shown the fact that everything is possible in this way.
The domestic news is a few days later than the United States, after all, Netscape, as an Internet company, does not pay attention to the listing of domestic news media. But after Netscape went public, it attracted domestic attention due to the miracle created by Netscape and the hype of the American media.
At first, the domestic news media only forwarded the news reports of the American media, but soon someone noticed Zhang Hao, who was standing next to Mark when Netscape was listed.
As a Chinese, Zhang Hao's Asian face is very eye-catching, and although Song Chaoyuan was also involved at that time, he did not stand in front, stood in the last row, hiding in the crowd, plus the newspaper photos are not high pixels, few people will notice Song Yuanchao in the crowd.
But Zhang Hao is different, his position is second only to Mark, and the hands of the three of them were put together when Mark rang the bell, and this action was clearly photographed by the news reporters at the time.
In the American media reports, of course, it is Mark who occupies a large part of the report, and Mark, as the core of Netscape, is not only the founder, but also the CEO of Netscape.
Isn't it the best embodiment of the so-called American Dream that an ordinary technician who has just graduated to start this company with his own talent and ability, and then completed a magnificent transformation in such a short period of time, so as to have a huge fortune?
For this reason, the American media's propaganda and reports on Mark are simply overwhelming, and the praise is countless, and for a time Mark even replaced Bill Gates, who was in the limelight, as the new idol of young people. Even Jimmy has been reported a lot, and many interviews have mentioned that Jimmy is one of the founders of Netscape, and hyped up his experience of starting a business before graduating from college, calling him the second Bill Gates.
Compared with Mark and Jimmy, there are very few mentions of Zhang Hao, and many reports only briefly mention that Zhang Hao is a member of Netscape, and even Zhang Hao's Chinese name is not mentioned, using Zhang Hao's English name when he was studying in the United States, that is, the name Mike, so as to try to promote Zhang Hao's existence.
But even so, when the domestic media noticed the appearance of Zhang Hao in the photo, they suddenly had a strong curiosity about this young Asian man standing with Mark, and in the next media excavation, information about Zhang Hao was gradually dug out, and when it was determined that this Asian young man was not only Chinese, but also one of the three founders of Netscape, the shareholder with the largest number of individual shares in Netscape, the chairman of Netscape, and even a student studying in the United States from China. For a while, the domestic media exploded in an instant.
When the news came back to China, the leaders who reviewed the news couldn't believe their eyes after reading the materials. What? A young man in his early twenties, an international student who went to the United States to study has become the chairman of the hottest Internet company at present, and with the listing of Netscape, the value of his shares is as high as 700 million US dollars? It's as bizarre as the Arabian Nights.
Shocked, the leader immediately contacted the reporter in the United States to inquire about the authenticity of the information sent back. When a reporter in the United States swore on the phone that all this was true and that there was absolutely no falsehood, the leader suddenly became as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Hanging up the phone, the leader walked around the office excitedly, his face flushed with excitement.
He never thought that the real founder of Netscape was actually a Chinese and a Chinese student!
Due to the success of Microsoft, Bill Gates is now the idol of young people all over the world, and there are many young people in China who worship Bill Gates. And now, as a Chinese student in the United States, Zhang Hao founded Netscape Company with just over a year and two small partners, and became a successful person with such a huge amount of wealth, such an experience is simply bizarre and incredible.
Although compared to Bill Gates, Zhang Hao's current wealth is far inferior, but 700 million US dollars in assets can be regarded as a rich man in the world, and Zhang Hao is still so young, and the netscape is in full swing, Zhang Hao will inevitably not be able to become the second Bill Gates in the future.
Once this news is reported, it will inevitably cause a huge sensation in China, and it is completely certain that the leader who has worked in the news industry for most of his life can be completely sure.
However, in addition to the excitement, the leader still kept a clear head, and hurriedly summoned the editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief and others below to discuss, and after discussing behind closed doors, it was decided to take three steps, one step was to immediately sort out the news materials and information about Zhang Hao sent back from the United States, and write a report.
The second step is to immediately send someone to contact the relevant departments to find out the true situation of Zhang Hao, and determine that Zhang Hao, one of the founders of Netscape, is his own person, family background, background and other details.
As for the third and important step, it is to wait for the first two steps to be completed, immediately report to the superior, solicit the superior's opinion, and then carry out publicity and reporting.
These three steps have been agreed and recognized by the leader, and immediately everyone assigned their work to be busy, a few hours later, the information that has been confirmed one after another has been summarized to the leader's side, looking at these certain information, including the photos of Zhang Hao in the country who don't know where to get it, the leader is determined, picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number of the superior leader directly.......
Zhang Jianguo didn't know what was happening, he came forward on time today as in the past and went to the company by car.
With the increasing scale of the logistics company, the logistics company has re-integrated the enterprise structure after several adjustments, and this integration is to cope with the expansion of the company's scale and management needs.
The headquarters of the logistics company is still in Shanghai, but in addition to the headquarters, now the logistics company is also divided into several regions in the country, according to East China, South China, North China, Central China region, these regions set up district-level headquarters, vertically managed by the group headquarters, under the provincial company is the provincial company, the provincial company is the municipal company, the whole company is like a perfect network, covering all the business scope of the logistics company.
It was exactly half past eight in the morning when he arrived at the office, and Zhang Jianguo went to work at nine in the morning, but he usually arrived half an hour early.
Arriving at the company, Zhang Jianguo will not go to the office immediately, over the years he has developed the habit of going to various departments after arriving at the company, using this half-hour gap time to walk around the departments, and so on, the time is also nine o'clock, Zhang Jianguo will go to his office at the top of the company to deal with work.
"Chairman, your tea has been brewed." Entering the office, assistant Xiao Lu took Zhang Jianguo's bag and whispered at the same time.
Xiao Lu is arranged like this every day, Xiao Lu is a college student of Shanghai Jiaotong University, he graduated from college in 1991, with his academic qualifications could have been assigned to work in state-owned enterprises, but because the assigned unit Xiao Lu was not satisfied, at that time it happened that the logistics company recruited talents, due to the high salary of the logistics company, Xiao Lu came to apply after seeing the advertisement, and successfully entered the logistics company to work, and became an employee of the logistics company.
Xiao Lu has a high degree of education, smart people, and strong ability to do things, and soon stood out after entering the logistics company, Zhang Jianguo noticed Xiao Lu two years ago, and after a period of observation, Xiao Lu was directly transferred from the following department to the chairman's office, and let him serve as his assistant.
Assistant to the chairman, this position is not low, you must know that Xiao Lu was only at the level of supervisor before, and now he has become the assistant to the chairman, and the assistant to the chairman of the board of directors within the company is the existence of the vice president to be polite when he sees it, Xiao Lu, a young man who is less than thirty, occupies such a high position, which is really enviable.
The reason why he transferred Xiao Lu to his side and made him his assistant is mainly to train the company's future management in this way. As the company grows larger, so do the demands placed on the company's management.
The current logistics company is not what it looked like when it was first built, as long as it was engaged in transportation, people with a little experience in scheduling can be managed, and now the company has developed to the current scale, it is no longer appropriate to manage the company with the old routine, Zhang Jianguo has been constantly adjusting the company's management in the past two years, and excavating and recruiting available talents, and Xiao Lu is a talent he likes, and intends to let Xiao Lu follow him for a few years, and then release it when the time is ripe. When the time comes, whether it is to go to the region as a general manager or stay in the headquarters to take up an important position, it is a suitable choice.
Nodding, Zhang Jianguo walked to the desk and sat down, picked up the teacup and opened it, the tea inside had been brewed for a while, and now it was neither hot nor hot, blowing the tea leaves floating on it, Zhang Jianguo took a sip, and listened to Xiao Lu make a daily routine work report to himself.
was listening, suddenly there was a loud sound downstairs, Zhang Jianguo's brows frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face.
But Zhang Jianguo didn't say anything, in his opinion, it may be a trivial matter, but he didn't think about it for less than a minute, the noise downstairs not stopped, but became more and more noisy, and it seemed that there were many people arguing about something.
"What's going on? What's going on in the office area? ”
"Chairman, I'll take a look."
"Well, you go and see what the hell is going on." Zhang Jianguo nodded, Xiao Lu put the folder in his hand aside, turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
But as soon as he opened the door of the office, a person hurriedly ran in from outside the door, this person was Lao Xu, the director of the office, Lao Xu, because of his hurry, his hair on weekdays looked a little messy, and he didn't care about talking to Xiao Lu as soon as he entered the door, and directly said to Zhang Jianguo, who had not yet come back to his senses: "Chairman...... Under...... There are a lot of reporters below, saying that they want to interview you ......! ”
