In addition to Han Palace Bank, Lai Yuan also established three subsidiaries: Lai Yuan Trading, Lai Yuan Shipping and Lai Yuan Industrial.

Liyuan Industrial is responsible for mainland investment and trying to find a way to revitalize those scrap copper and rotten iron.

Although these are old equipment that have been obsolete in Hong Kong, it is still possible to open a few joint ventures in the mainland. It's a waste use!

For example, some plastic processing equipment and mold equipment were selected and a new plastic products factory was built in the Neizhou Development Zone. The total investment is 3.5 million US dollars. Ahem.

In the past, Hong Kong's plastic processing industry was very developed. is like Li Bancheng, he started as a plastic flower. Therefore, it has a large number of equipment and assembly lines. It was nothing more than that they all went to real estate later, and the plastic processing industry was completely eliminated. In fact, compared with the mainland, these devices are not backward at all.

And with this plastic products factory, you can make plastic shells and assemblies for water dispensers, you can make plastic film for local greenhouses, you can also make buckets, basins, slippers and other plastic daily necessities, almost all of which can be exported to Africa, oh, and Russia. There is no need to worry about sales at all.

In addition, with the broken copper and iron as collateral, the loan ordered two new assembly lines, which could later make plastic vats and plastic blown bottles for canned water.

Anyway, it is an extension of the industrial chain, which can basically be digested internally.

In addition, there are garment factories, toy factories, shoe factories, electronics factories, .......

As a foreign investment in equipment, if you can't blow 500 million Hong Kong dollars, Li Yuan can follow your surname!

To be honest, such a left-handed exchange for a right-handed, 50 million and 500 million are no different. But as long as it can achieve stable profits, this asset can be easily realized. At least you can get a mortgage from the bank, right?

However, Li Yuan won't care much about those messy little things, so let's leave them to the eldest sister Li Susu and Sun Hao!

Therefore, Han Palace Investment and Liyuan Industry are slightly different. Liyuan Industry focuses on industrial investments such as factories, while Han Palace Investment is a venture capital fund.

Han Palace's first investment was Parallel Line Technology. As an angel investor, invested $5 million and received ...... 25% equity. Ahem.

Anyway, I didn't do anything, I blew myself into a bubble, and now the valuation of Parallel Line Technology is as high as $20 million! And the company has only $5 million in cash? Among them, $2 million has to be paid to Xiaoxiang Pig, and only $3 million is really in hand?

In addition, there are only small shareholders such as Ying Xin and Wu Yongping, and some incentive shares reserved for executives......

……

After the internal straightening out, Parallel Line Technology is on the fast track.

The company itself has the agency rights of the hedgehog system. Although the number of sales has been greatly reduced, and the price has plummeted, there are still a lot of agency fees for ensuring the harvest during the monthly drought and flood.

In addition, there is no new development project in Parallel Line Technology, so there is no need to burn money at all. Therefore, this income is enough to ensure the normal operation of the company.

In other words, version 2.0 of the parallelline browser has been developed a long time ago. Even 3.0, 4.0, 5.0L......, Li Yuan is also ready. It's nothing more than picking a suitable opportunity to bring to market.

For other developers, this is a brand new project that requires a whole team of people and resources to think about and consume. But for a certain reborn hanger, isn't it just a copy of the answer?

And in the future, the browser will be a simple applet. It's like social software like QQ. The development itself is quite simple, and even the graduation thesis of a computer undergraduate student is disdainful of doing this, otherwise he will be scolded by the tutor! Because it's so pediatric.

Of course, with simple development, commercial promotion becomes even more difficult, and only winners take all! That's another level.

To be honest, the development of the subsequent version can be completed by Li Yuan alone, and it is not as much energy as writing a work log.

Of course, Li Yuan knows that there is no good product in the Internet company, and it will definitely involve a patent lawsuit in the future. So with a work log, there's proof. If you don't want to be able to win the lawsuit, at least you won't ruin your reputation - I'm the one who developed it independently. Occasionally, when I think of it with others, it's called a hero who sees something the same! That's not too much, right?

After all, the originator of all browsers is the Mosaic browser, and it still uses a front-end scripting language: JavaScript. It is equivalent to saying that it is the same bloodline, how can it not be a crash?

Back to the parallel line (USA). In the beginning, after receiving hundreds of orders for a custom homepage, the number of orders in the following weeks exceeded 1,000.

Since they are now outsourced to the U.S., each order has to be discounted by $1 or $200.

There is no doubt that there will be no one to compete in a loss-making business like this. Parallel Line Technology suddenly became famous, and actually won the reputation of "King of Homepage" in Silicon Valley?

Interestingly, some of the more high-end corporate homepages can still make money because of the higher fees.

Then there's some packaging business. It is that some enterprises or individuals, they are more afraid of trouble, so they simply buy computers, install software, and even buy servers, set up internal LAN and other businesses to Parallel Line (the United States).

In the early nineties, computer IT equipment was still expensive and maintained a certain profiteering. And because the speed of upgrading is extremely fast, there is quite a lot of water in it, which is full of indiscriminate filling and shoddy. At the end of the day, many users either choose a branded machine or choose an expert who can be trusted.

This is just like the domestic market later - a very large market for assembly machines. There is even a new term created in China: copycat machine!

The exact same computer configuration can be hundreds of dollars cheaper without a brand. Now that there is the "king of the homepage", I simply package it all for them.

Later, this profit model became commonplace. It's a form of traffic monetization – borrowing traffic from a custom homepage and monetizing it by selling other products.

Although Parallel Line (the United States) does not sell hardware, this kind of door-to-door business can always make a difference, right?

And there are Martin and his BBS friends, they got those outsourcing business, and they made a lot of money, and they also hung the label of Parallel Line (USA).

To be honest, Li Yuan is really not interested in hardware. Otherwise, it would have been possible to create a new brand like "Parallel Line Computer".

However, in this way, the reputation of the "king of the homepage" has become even louder. Even let the outside world ignore the parallel line browser, the first impression is that the "king of the homepage".

And the money earned from these traffic monetizations can actually break even? A good way to make up for the shortfall in the homepage order?

Back to the parallel line (China).

After some hard work, the Elliptical Training School quickly completed the enrollment work. One enrolls 67 students in two classes. And also hired six substitute teachers from the university.

One of these classes is the Computer Science Major. The trainees are all students majoring in computer science and related majors. These students have a good computer foundation and learn to make html homepages? A shorter period of three days is sufficient, and the maximum number of days is not more than ten days.

Therefore, in terms of course arrangement, there is a bias on oral English conversation, and there are some other office automation courses. They also quickly took over the outsourcing of custom homepages.

And another class? Don't mention it! There are so many spicy Northern Dance goblins in it, and they are still impure?

However, the combination of men and women is really not tired! The learning atmosphere is quite good, and the progress is equally satisfying. It should be that after a month, most of the students (excluding Beiwu) will also be able to make a simple web page.

And with the outsourcing to China, the profits of Parallel Line Technology have increased visibly.

By the way, when the first batch of students got the first 100 yuan, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole school, and soon caused a sensation in the circle of Beijing University.

Not only did the school quickly fill up four new classes, but there were also many computer ...... Not only college students, but also graduates, university teachers, and even software engineers in scientific research institutions......

In my heart, can you find such a good thing outside?

As long as someone provides a guarantee, Parallel Line (China) can provide a computer to take home. And after completing 100 orders, this computer will be given to you for free? In addition, there is a labor fee of 100 yuan per order?

One thing to say, no matter how backward the country is, there are still a lot of computer talents in Beijing. A simple job like an HTML homepage can be easily done by most people.

The point is that you can't find such a job! What's more, you can't afford a computer at home! Let's talk about 100 pieces for a single order, 10 pieces for 1000 pieces. When I go home with this large sum of money, my wife still dares to kick me out of bed? Labor and management have finally raised their eyebrows!

For these people who automatically came to the door, Li Yuan just accepted all the orders anyway. I am not afraid of many people at all, and I am afraid that the order will not be completed. There are thousands of them every week in the United States.

Li Yuan didn't know that after this commotion, he was the first to create an outsourcing model.

Isn't it like the original history, the first countries to outsource Silicon Valley, Ireland and India, which are the same English-speaking countries, have become Chinese-speaking China? (laughs and cries)

……

It should be said that at this time, in the mainstream circle of Silicon Valley, parallel line technology is still inconspicuous.

What if you are the king of the homepage? It is nothing more than an annual turnover of about 10 million US dollars, a negligible narrow market. Besides, it's better to lose money in exchange for shouting, how much money can be left to burn?

In addition, Parallel Line Technology does not have its own core technology, let alone establish its own development team. It looks like a grass platform team, taking a vote and leaving?

Nothing more than outsourcing? Treat the program ape as a migrant worker to make those non-technical html homepages? We're about to lose the face of our Silicon Valley.

Oh! There seems to be a parallelline browser as well. If no one had reminded us, we might have forgotten about this applet a long time ago.

However, it didn't take long for Netscape to finally launch the Netscape 1.0 browser and start a huge publicity campaign.

Because of the development of the Mosaic browser and the free sharing on the Internet, Anderson's fame is much louder than Li Yuan's, and he even has a lot of fans all over the United States.

Among them is also another founder, Jim. Clarke. He was one of the godfathers of the first generation of venture capital, and in this era, he was much more famous than later venture capitalists such as SoftBank and Sequoia. It has a very high reputation in Silicon Valley circles!

Therefore, as soon as the Netscape 1.0 browser was launched, it was immediately well received.

One thing to say, the Parallel 1.0 browser is better than the Mosaic browser, but the Netscape 1.0 browser is better than the Parallel 1.0 browser.

At that time, Li Yuan just wanted to be slightly ahead of the times in technology and not be able to surpass the times too much. Who would have thought that Netscape would be stimulated to be established in advance? Not to mention that Anderson was as shameless as himself, busy launching an incomplete version of the Netscape 1.0 browser?

On the one hand, the prestige value in the industry is extremely high; Netscape, on the other hand, is indeed technologically advanced. In this way, the limelight of parallel lines is overshadowed at once.

Netscape Browser's market share is approaching 50% at almost the speed of light, while the parallel line has fallen to 28%. There are many other browsers on the market today, and they account for almost 22%.

Suddenly, Netscape was gaining momentum, and in the second month, it achieved an operating income of $2.8 million, and the company's operation reached a profit.

You know, two years later, the Internet users are 18 million, and the current Internet users are 1.8 million. So the market outlook is quite quite good!

At this moment, as long as you are not blind, you can immediately judge that there will be a magical company in Silicon Valley, and Anderson and they will create a wealth myth!

In an instant, Netscape was almost broken through the threshold, and a large wave of investors wanted to send dollars to the door.

It was like a dream come true, and overnight, the two founders of Netscape were sought after by all the people.

Jim. Clark was better, but Anderson, the young man, floated straight away.

In the face of the TV interview, Anderson said in high spirits: "...... Silicon Valley is now a stagnant pool. Silicon Valley has experienced a PC boom, with companies such as Apple, Intel and Microsoft being founded. And then in a brief moment of glory, the book actually took over almost everything in the United States? ”

“…… In the United States today, technological development and economic growth are at a standstill. All American kids become slackers in the 'Generation X' who have no ambition and don't want to do anything. I live every day in mediocrity......"

“…… Why is this happening? Is that because we Americans are not good enough? Not! It's because some companies are resting on their laurels. In order to guarantee its monopoly position, the strangulation of all new technologies ......"

The reporter didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement: "Anderson, are you talking about Microsoft?" ”

Today's Anderson is angry: "That's right! I'm talking about Dear Bill. Mr. Gates. His Microsoft used its monopoly on PC software to crack down on the new software companies. And also use all kinds of bad business methods to eliminate those innovators directly......"

“…… But here we are! We're here! It's no longer the PC era, it's about to enter the IT era! With our Netscape browser, each of us will enter a new world of the Internet. There is no oppression, no disgusting monopoly, everyone is equal, everyone can enjoy this free world......"

“…… The evil dragon can't kill the dream, and it can't stop the success of Netscape! Our ideal is to smash the old world——! ”

When the news aired, it immediately caused a national sensation! And the circle was broken in an instant.

Now even ordinary people in the United States know that a company called Netscape has issued a challenge and launched an attack on Microsoft......
