Chapter 252: Sweeping the U.S. Market

On the same day that Wujiang Group obtained access to the market of country M, Wang Anshi, the head of the negotiation team, announced that the secret plan of country M that was hotly discussed on the Internet was all rumors.

As soon as this news came out, it once again sparked heated discussions on the whole network.

"Well, Wujiang Group also came forward to clarify the rumors for country M. Hehehe, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway! Without saying a word, I replaced my Windows system with the HarmonyOS system!! ”

"Nima, the Wujiang Group must have reached a deal with country M. If not, I'd just run 20 laps naked around the school square! ”

"Everyone sees through it and doesn't say it. In short, I will not use Microsoft and Apple products in the future! ”

“……”

Microsoft, Apple and other companies have been pitted very badly.

Product sales plummeted.

真是无妄之灾啊!

At this time, the Wujiang Group began to enter the United States in a big way, but this time, the Wujiang Group no longer chose to fight alone, but cooperated with some large American enterprises to tie them to the big ship of the Wujiang Group, with both prosperity and loss.

Since the U.S. is still an IVP4 network, the computers, routers, switches and other products sold by Wujiang Group to the U.S. use dual-stack technology, and are equipped with IPV4 and IPV6 protocol stacks. In this way, U.S. users will be able to connect with the world after using Wujiang Group's products.

Borderless ADSL and fiber optic cables are now the most in-demand products in the U.S. to boost U.S. internet speeds.

In addition, the large-scale entry of Wujiang Group's network products into the United States will also mean that web technology standards can be applied in the United States.

Americans can use Internet Explorer to surf the Internet and browse websites.

Wujiang Group has developed a lot of very advanced web technologies, which are not comparable to the set of standards in the United States.

The browser developed using web technology has a fast response and full range of functions.

The web site can be designed with a better and more beautiful interface and rich functions.

Therefore, when the borderless portal enters the U.S. market, many people will feel that the "America Online" sites are a bit old-fashioned and rustic.

……

The U.S. branch of the borderless portal.

People from investment firms such as Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, and Morgan Stanley came here to celebrate the establishment of the branch.

分公司负责人也是一个美国人,名字叫萨利·阿尔杰。

"Alger, how does the borderless portal develop in order to beat AOL and other sites and become the number one portal in the United States? Did Mr. Zhao Ye come up with a plan? Don Valentine asked.

Sally Alger nodded with a smile: "Zhao Dong said that if you want to seize the American market and become No. 1, just two words!" ”

When Don Valentine and the others heard this, they were immediately curious.

"What are those two words?" Everyone couldn't help but ask.

Sally Alger replied, "It's free!! ”

"Free? What do you mean? What is free?? "A lot of people are a little confused.

Sally Alger said: "Zhao Dong said that only by winning the war of browsers can we use the help of Internet Explorer to promote the website!" Moreover, the Borderless Portal only supports web technology, and you must use the Internet Explorer to open the website! So, our first step is to offer Internet Explorer downloads for 'free'!! ”

这个时代,基本上,大多数软件都是要收费的,其中就包括了浏览器。

The best browser currently on the market in the United States is Netscape, which costs $45.

"Internet Explorer" is simply the gospel of the white prostitution party, who will refuse something that does not require money?

Don Valentine and the others couldn't help but be amazed when they heard this.

"Internet Explorer itself is much better than Netscape Browser, if it's free, then what? Wouldn't all netizens in the United States download the Internet Explorer browser?!! ”

"That's a great trick! Monopolize the IE browser first, and then bind the borderless portal with the help of the IE browser, you can quickly promote the borderless portal! ”

“……”

Don Valentine, Michael Pullman and others talked excitedly, but they didn't say a word about the loss of IE browser benefits by the Borderless Group!

But it doesn't matter, Wujiang Group also wants to determine the monopoly advantage of Internet Explorer in the market through free means.

Internet Explorer can now be used to promote the Borderless Portal, and in the future, it can also be used to promote Baidu Engine or other websites.

……

Three days later, Borderless launched a free download channel for Internet Explorer in the United States, which can be downloaded from some third-party websites.

These sites have chosen to cooperate for the sake of traffic.

On the one hand, the number of Internet users in the United States who want to download Internet Explorer is very large, which can bring traffic to the website; On the other hand, IE will also add their website to the navigation site homepage.

It's a win-win!

此时,无数美国网友在浏览网站时忽然被推送了一个广告。

[Wujiang Group promises: IE browser is free forever, welcome to download and use!! 】

Good guys, people who saw this ad were immediately shocked by the news that Internet Explorer is free forever!

"Damn, this news is really fake, I'll try it quickly!"

As he spoke, he clicked on this advertisement, and then jumped directly to the download interface of the Internet Explorer browser directly on the website.

A big "download" sign is very conspicuous, and users can't help but click directly when they see it.

After a short time, the IE browser installation software will be downloaded, and then the prompt for automatic installation will pop up, click "OK".

Internet Explorer is simple and beautiful, rich in functions and powerful, and American netizens love Internet Explorer.

"This Internet Explorer can almost beat Netscape Browser, and its response speed is at least 1.5 times that of Netscape Browser! Moreover, the IE browser comes with a flash plug-in, and you can watch flash animations on the website, which is really awesome!! ”

毫无疑问,flash插件当然也是无疆集团开发的,前世要到1996年才被开发出来。

IE with a flash plug-in is not at all comparable to Netscape.

As a result, the Borderless portal will also be able to provide users with a much richer range of content, not only text and photos, but also videos, which is not currently possible on AOL.

In addition, the Borderless portal also provides search engine (Baidu) services.

Baidu's powerful search engine function has not only conquered Europe, but also the Americans have been unable to resist its charm.

However, everyone does not see the value of the search engine for the time being, and only thinks that this is just a small function of the Borderless portal.

Needless to say, Internet Explorer has quickly become the most popular browser in the United States because it is free and rocket-like, with an astonishing number of downloads.

A week later, the number of Internet Explorer users surpassed the number of Netscape users, becoming the number one in the United States.

Netscape was completely confused.

股价雪崩!

Clark, the owner of Netscape, has just returned from his honeymoon with his lover, only to find out that his company is going out of business.

月初的时候,网景公司在纳斯达克上市,创造了ipo奇迹,克拉克身价达到5.66亿美元,震惊全美;然而到了月末,网景公司的股价跌成狗,一文不值。

Falling from heaven to hell, Clark couldn't help but feel a little hopeless.

Why?

Why is my company dying so quickly?

Subsequently, in less than a month, Netscape Browser users were almost zero.

“克拉克,趁着公司还有钱,要不赶紧转型??” Anderson, an investor in Netscape, sighed and suggested that Netscape was losing money every day, and if it persisted, the company would be doomed.

Even if Netscape is free, it still can't compete with Internet Explorer.

The technical advantages of Internet Explorer are too powerful!

Clarke's face was full of decadence and he sighed: "I now really realize that an Internet company is only 30 days away from bankruptcy!" Anderson, you're right, it's time for us at Netscape to transform! ”

Internet Explorer is free, and Clark really can't do anything.

Sue IE?

People are free software, even if they are in a lawsuit, they may not be able to win, even if they can win, this lawsuit will take a long time, and when the time comes, Netscape's grave grass will be more than a meter high.

Moreover, the IE browser is also bound to the Hongmeng system, and the Netscape browser is simply a grasshopper shaking the tree.

The moment the U.S. allowed Borderless to enter the U.S. market, Netscape's fate was already sealed.

Clark is very painful now, and if this is left in China, it is inevitable that there will be a sentence of "both Shengyu and He Shengliang".

……

At this time, it is not only Netscape that is sad, but also a large number of American portals such as AOL.

The borderless portal has almost directly dominated the entire American Internet in a hegemonic posture!

As the saying goes, "foreign monks are good at chanting", when the American online was not yet popular, the Wujiang portal has become popular all over the world, and the American people are too familiar with the "local monks", lack of mystery, and have a lot of psychological expectations, so they are full of curiosity and expectations for the Wujiang portal.

No matter what the borderless portal is, it is natural that it will be popular in the United States.

Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley and other shareholders of more than a dozen Borderless Portal are very excited, they never expected that after Borderless Portal entered the US market, it would so quickly seize the No.1 market share!

"I didn't expect the Borderless Portal to become the most popular portal in the United States so quickly! The ability of Wujiang Group to operate is really terrible! ”

"The advantages of the Wujiang portal are too great, and other websites can't compete at all! I've heard that AOL is developing a completely new portal based on web technology, but this is obviously a step slow. ”

"Yes, Steve Keys probably never thought that the speed of the borderless portal to snatch users would be so fast!!"

"Actually, this also shows that the Borderless Portal is very popular with American users, so the next is the best time for the Borderless Portal to be listed on the NASDAQ, what do you think?"

"Hahahaha, that's right, it's a good opportunity to go public, I support it!"

“……”

At this moment, everyone decided to strike while the iron was hot and promote the listing of the borderless portal on the NASDAQ.

Zhao Ye also supports the listing of the borderless portal.

After the Wujiang portal is listed, a large amount of funds can be raised and contribute to the Wujiang Group.

In addition, once the IPO of the Wujiang portal is successful, it will definitely stimulate the entire Internet industry and make the entire industry crazy!

Under the instruction of Zhao Ye, Tang Letong, CEO of Wujiang Portal, began to discuss the IPO with the investors of the website.

……

After the first quarter of this year, Borderless Group's revenue increased significantly.

Liu Yinyin handed the financial statements to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye took a look, and his face couldn't help but show surprise.

Liu Yinyin said with a smile: "Dong Zhao, since the U.S. authorities have completely let the products of Wujiang Group enter the U.S. market, countless U.S. users have started to consume with revenge!" In just over a month, we generated more than $35 billion in revenue in the United States!! ”

"However, in order to restrict our products, the United States has raised tariffs very highly, which has cost us a lot of profits." Liu Yinyin sighed slightly, feeling sorry.

Zhao Ye smiled, if the United States does not raise tariffs, the products of Wujiang Group can kill many American companies.

"The tariff issue will be resolved later, and it will be very satisfying to be able to enter the US market for the time being. However, as the saying goes, 'the wool is out of the sheep', and the tariffs are high, and in the end the Americans themselves pay for it. Many of our products from the Borderless Group are simply not rejected by Americans......"

"By the way, let Alibaba, Amazon, Taobao, Alipay, Netflix, Pandora, Rotten Tomatoes, and IMDb Internet movie database and other sites launch in the US market!! With the help of Internet Explorer and Borderless Portal, you can grow these websites quickly! Zhao Ye explained, "In addition, there are multiple game platforms, mainly the Battle.net competitive platform and the Steam game platform!" ”

"Okay, Dong Zhao!" Liu Yinyin nodded, indicating that she understood.

Zhao Ye thought about it and felt that there was nothing negligent, so he let Liu Yinyin leave.

At this time, the United States actually already has similar websites, after all, Americans will also engage in plagiarism. Because the websites mentioned by Zhao Ye just did not enter the U.S. market for the first time, the same type of websites in the United States occupied the market share, and the competitive pressure was very high.

Zhao Ye is also not confident that in the US market, he can beat competitors 100%.

In order for these websites to win in the competition, they must be strongly supported by capital, which is not limited to funding, but also includes various connections and power, etc., which can solve all kinds of problems for the website.

赵烨现在也看开了,并不强求吃独食,只要执行双重股权制度AB股制度,其他人就很难抢走公司的控制权。

As long as it makes good use of the Internet bubble, Wujiang Group can cash out a large amount of money, and then use it for scientific and technological research and development, which is a good opportunity to grow itself.

April 1, 1995, April Fool's Day.

Zhao Ye let people release the news that Alibaba, Amazon, Taobao, Netflix Netflix Disc rental website, Pandora music website, and Rotten Tomatoes will all be financed!

As soon as this news came out, the world's major investment banks were shocked.

"It's April Fool's Day, the news can't be fake, right?" Quite a few people expressed skepticism.

Well, maybe the surprise came too suddenly, a little unbelievable!

Zhao Ye was really crying and laughing at this time, he had been answering the phone all day, and many international investment companies had called, almost all of them asking if the news was true......
