Since the end of the press conference of Wujiang Group, people in Europe have gone to Tenglong Internet Cafe to experience the joy of surfing the Internet.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Ye bragged at the press conference, saying that it was the global Internet, and it was indeed true. Although the submarine cable between Asia and Europe has not yet been laid, there are other ways to connect Asia with Europe.

As early as September 1987, China's first e-mail was sent from the capital to the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. At this time, there is also no Eurasian submarine fiber optic cable.

However, because there is no Asia-Europe submarine fiber optic cable, the network speed between Asia and Europe will be very slow.

……

At this time, the United States is gathering technology companies to think about what to do with the Borderless Group.

Zhao Ye and the Wujiang Group will naturally not sit idly by.

In fact, Zhao Ye had already come up with a countermeasure.

Between countries, interests come first.

It would be nice for the Borderless Group to give its profits to other countries.

At the beginning of the development of the website, Zhao Ye attached great importance to localization.

Therefore, almost every website is independent in each country, for example, "China Alibaba Internet Café" and "British Alibaba Website", "German Alibaba Website", "French Alibaba Website" are all independent individuals, and the content of the website is responsible for the local staff.

Zhao Ye knew very well that at the beginning of the development of the website, it was very money-burning.

And in order to win over the elites of various countries to support the Wujiang Group, then the major local websites are bound to need financing.

At the press conference, Zhao Ye blew the Internet into a dazzle, just to make everyone interested in the Internet and the website, and then it was good to raise money!

Thanks to the layout of Wujiang Group's Internet cafes, users in China, Europe and Southeast Asia can enjoy a good Internet experience.

The traffic of major websites increased dramatically for a while.

If you have traffic, you can monetize.

At present, the main way to monetize traffic is advertising.

It's just that Zhao Ye didn't plan to make money on the website for the time being, and only after the website traffic was higher would he start commercialization, so as to become a blockbuster.

The surge in website traffic is mainly due to the Tenglong Internet Cafe.

At this time, although the Tenglong Internet café has been connected, the price of the machine has only increased by two to three yuan, and many people can still accept it.

The happiest thing for users is being able to log in to the Battle.net Arena and play against other people. The European Internet covers almost the entire European region.

The Battle.net Arena is marked with the player's identity so that other players can see which country he is from.

Isn't it more exciting to take out players from other countries?

You know, since ancient times, Europe has often been at war with each other.

With a little guidance, the "Battle.net Arena Platform" will make players from all over Europe play pig brains with each other.

……

"The popularity of "Shenzhou Computer 2", "iBook1 Laptop" and "HarmonyOS 2.0" has exploded, and almost the whole of Europe is crazy about it! According to reporters, the Wujiang flagship store is overcrowded every day. ”

"Tenglong Internet Cafe is full of customers every day, and it is simply a daily profit, which is really envious of others!"

"Not only that, but there is an endless stream of customers who go to Wujiang's ISP company, and tens of thousands of people are still queuing up to install the network!"

"Wujiang Group has made a lot of money this time, who would have thought that ISP Internet access service providers could also make such money! In my opinion, almost every family will be involved in the Internet in the future, and this industry definitely has great potential for development! Alas, it's a pity, let the Wujiang Group take the lead again! ”

In Europe, even many rich and powerful people show envy whenever they talk about the Internet.

There are also people who want to get involved in the ISP industry, but unfortunately, the Internet backbone network is built by Wujiang Group, and if they rebuild the backbone network, it will cost a lot of money and take a long time. In addition, Wujiang Group has also signed an exclusive agreement with a fixed-line company, which means that Wujiang Group has monopolized the "last mile". On this issue, other ISP companies simply cannot break through the situation.

If you lay your own fiber optic cables and provide "fiber-to-the-home" services to the public, but this is too expensive and has no price advantage at all, how can you compete with Wujiang ISP companies?

Finally, in terms of technology, they don't have any advantages.

So, some people who intend to enter the ISP industry quickly find that this road is simply a dead end.

Unless you work with an ISP company.

At this time, the Borderless ISP company has entered a period of savage madness.

However, if you want to expand quickly, you have to invest more money.

The United States is enlisting countries to support the IVP4 network standard, so Zhao Ye needs to develop the IPv6 network faster to fight fast and slowly, resulting in an established fact: when the scale of the IVP6 network has become very large, at this time, change course, resulting in network paralysis, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the local country, and at that time, who will listen to the words of country M and damage the interests of their own country?

European countries also have their own interests, well, and they are not completely based on the lead of country M.

Therefore, if Zhao Ye wants to promote the development of the IPv6 network as soon as possible, it is necessary to let the ISP company raise funds, and there are also requirements for investors, preferably local elites, who must have a great influence in this country.

Zhao Ye needs to bind more partners to the carriage of the Borderless Group!

If their interests are aligned, they will take the initiative to help Wujiang Group solve the problem.

……

……

A week later.

Wujiang Group.

Zhao Ye carefully read the relevant information documents about the European Borderless ISP company and major websites.

He immediately convened a meeting of the executives.

"In order to promote the development of the IVP6 network standard, on the European side, Borderless ISP companies need to raise funds. Immediately, there was news that the European Borderless ISP company will launch a round of financing!! Zhao Ye said loudly.

"Boss, how many shares are we going to sell?" Lu Maoshi asked.

Zhao Ye thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "It's too little, they are not interested; Too much, too much we have to lose. In the A round of financing, we only sell 30% of the shares! However, it can be promised that they can enjoy priority in later rounds of funding! ”

"A round of financing to sell 30% of the shares is already a lot!" Lu Maoshi nodded, and immediately asked, "Boss, how much money does the other party have to take out at least for this 30% of the shares?" ”

"Your investment department will study this, negotiate a price, and then let me judge!" Zhao Ye thought for a moment, and then said.

"Okay, boss!" Lu Maoshi nodded.

Zhao Ye said: "The website company in Europe also needs to raise funds, and probably after the ISP company raises funds, you must be prepared, provide information, and strive to raise the market value a little!" ”

"Hmm!" Lu Maoshi nodded again.

Zhao Ye looked at Liu Yinyin at this time and asked, "What is the situation in the United States?" ”

When Liu Yinyin heard this, she replied without thinking: "The United States is discussing the development of an 'information superhighway construction plan'. In addition, major U.S. technology companies seem to be planning to develop browsers and websites, but not to use the WWW World Wide Web standard, but to redevelop another standard ......"

Wujiang Group has already announced that the WWW World Wide Web will be free forever, but it did not expect that the American technology community still intends to develop another standard.

It doesn't matter, though.

The Borderless Group has been leading the world for several years, and it will not be easy for the United States to catch up.

"Okay, I see, continue to send someone to keep an eye on what's going on over there. Now let's talk about the development of the domestic Internet! ”

Zhao Ye said slowly, "Judging from the recent survey report, the domestic Internet has developed rapidly, and in just over a week, the number of netizens in China has exceeded more than one million. Among them, most of the Internet users come from Internet cafes.

At present, there are only 80,000 users who have taken the initiative to open Internet services, but the development trend is very good. ”

At present, the users of the Internet are mainly enterprises, universities, research institutions, and government units, and there are few ordinary families.

Here, we would like to mention the adsl technology developed by Wujiang Group, which is an asymmetric digital subscriber line with high downlink rate, bandwidth, and excellent performance, and has become a new, faster, and more efficient access method after MODEM.

It is a new high-speed broadband technology that runs on the original ordinary telephone line, and can reach a downlink speed of 8 Mbps and an uplink speed of 1 Mbps.

1Mbps=128kb/s。

The downlink speed is also commonly referred to as the download speed.

8Mbps is already huge.

This speed can be used to browse websites and even watch movies online.

However, in practice, the download speed does not reach this level, usually only 60kb/s to 80kb/s.

If you use it to watch movies online, it's enough to choke.

However, ADSL broadband is cheap, so users don't have to lay fiber to the home, they can use a telephone line, and then use a borderless ADSL.

The initial installation fee for using ADSL is only 800 RMB (with ADSL cat device), and the network fee is 100 RMB per month, which is 2000 RMB for one year.

The above is ADSL broadband, and the other is fiber-to-the-home.

The cost of fiber-to-the-home is higher, and the installation fee is as high as 5,000 yuan, but fortunately, it is a "three-in-one", that is, "fiber-to-the-home" families can play fixed lines, watch TV and surf the Internet.

It's expensive, but it's a good deal.

You know, in the early 90s, it cost three thousand dollars to install a landline!

Now for only 5,000 yuan, you can enjoy three kinds of services, which is naturally more cost-effective.

It's just that it's not so easy for ordinary families to come up with so much money at once.

And that's not even counting the monthly service fee.

Ordinary families generally do not choose "fiber to the home" for the time being.

Although the number of 10,000 households in China has been increasing, computers are very expensive, plus installation fees and service fees, it is not a small amount.

If you want to make the Internet spread rapidly in China, on the one hand, you need to reduce the installation fee and service fee, and on the other hand, you need to lower the price of the computer.

At present, the development of the Internet in China is mainly to open more Tenglong Internet cafes so that more people can contact the Internet.

Zhao Ye held a meeting with everyone for a long time.

Discuss some of the problems encountered and work together.

For example, as the number of Internet users grows and the traffic to the website increases, the number of servers will definitely need to be increased in the future. Data centers consume a lot of power and have certain requirements for the environment. At this time, domestic electricity is actually a bit insufficient, and many rural areas are not electrified.

For example, the development of e-commerce websites is not as smooth as imagined, people are still skeptical about online shopping, and they dare not carry out transactions, and then the transportation is not convenient, many roads are not easy to walk, and the logistics speed is too slow, which affects the user experience and so on.

At the meeting, dozens of questions were raised, which needed to be solved urgently.

……

……

European region.

As the Wujiang Group released the news, it said that it would let the European Wujiang ISP company raise funds.

This news immediately caused a sensation around the world.

The rapid development of the Internet has made people see the potential of the ISP industry.

Investing in an ISP company without borders is simply a sure win.

Soon, many investment companies, large enterprises, and European giants contacted Wujiang Group and expressed their intention to invest.

Even the financial companies on Wall Street in the United States have sent people to contact the Wujiang Group.

It is important to know that Borderless ISP supports the ivp6 network standard and the WWW web standard.

The United States wants another set of standards, which is undoubtedly to compete with the Borderless Group.

And these people on Wall Street don't care about that......

Paris, France.

Lu Maoshi came to Europe and was fully responsible for the Series A financing of the European Borderless ISP.

At the moment, the person sitting across from him is a representative of Goldman Sachs named Dennis Toynbee.

"Mr. Dennis Toynby, you must know very well that Borderless Group is now in competition with the American technology community, why do you Goldman Sachs Group still invest in European Borderless ISP?" Lu Maoshi asked.

Dennis Toynbee smiled and said: "Capital knows no borders, our Goldman Sachs Group is a large international investment company, and we are willing to invest in everything that can make money!" Frankly, we at Goldman Sachs Group invested in AOL in the United States! We don't care about ipv6, ivp4 or WWW, we at Goldman Sachs invest in the whole track!! ”

When Lu Mao heard this, he was stunned and slightly surprised.

If you invest in the whole track, no matter which party wins in the end, Goldman Sachs Group will make a big profit.

After a while, Lu Maoshi said that he would seriously consider Goldman Sachs Group and notify Goldman Sachs Group when there was news.

After sending Dennis Toynby away, Lu Maoshi called Zhao Ye.

After the phone was connected, Lu Maoshi reported the situation to Zhao Ye, and then asked if he would accept investment from American capital.

Goldman Sachs Group is quite bold~

Zhao Ye was slightly surprised, then fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said to Lu Maoshi: "You can accept investment from American capital, but the share cannot be too high, mainly from Europe." However, Goldman Sachs Group has already invested in the American ISP company, and will not be of the same mind as us, so we can choose a strong company that has not invested in the American ISP company, and let it help lobby the authorities in the United States to support the standards of the Wujiang Group! ”

"Okay, boss, I got it!" Lu Mao heard what he said and nodded in response.

Thinking that Dennis Toynby, the representative of Goldman Sachs Group, was very proud to say that Goldman Sachs Group invested in the entire track, Lu Maoshi couldn't help but want to laugh.

The grass on the wall is the most important.

What Wujiang Group needs is a strategic partner who can firmly stand on its side.

PS: More tomorrow.
