Chapter 818 Business
Liu Hai wants to let the capital see that the Internet can make money and that the Internet can make people nouveau riche, so that more people will join his circle.
In fact, Western capital often looks at the circle. As long as you can enter this circle, it is equivalent to reaching another level.
The civilian model created in London is that Liu Hai created a circle by himself, and then others joined.
Forming a stable interest circle will have a great effect on the subsequent development of semiconductors, especially against the Bald Eagle series.
In fact, there are also circles within the Bald Eagle. The two largest circles are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
To be more specific, one is the circle where the Morgan family is located, and the other is the circle where Rockefeller is located.
To be more specific, it can be said that it represents two circles of ideas. These two ideas are not naturally antagonistic, but are tools used by politicians to fight each other.
China now also has the conditions to develop personal computers, especially civilian network services.
The simplest coaxial cable, that is, the cable of closed-circuit television, can be used as a transmission tool.
But what about the users? Not only the expensive computer itself, but also the monthly usage fee, which is a huge expense.
That is to say, the current domestic user base cannot meet the needs of profitability.
Because both telephone lines and coaxial cable lines require a computer room, decoders and other hardware facilities, and servers are needed.
There may be more potential users of personal computers in London than in our country now.
The key is that his territory is small. Building a computer room may provide dozens or hundreds of people with Internet access, which can certainly meet the profit needs.
Of course, Liu Hai still needs to communicate with dealers about this matter.
First of all, we still have to enter the campus, because college students are the fastest group to accept new things.
Dealers have a good relationship with major universities in their country.
Because dealers have money, they have to establish their own reputation and often donate to major universities.
At the same time, sometimes professionals from major universities are needed to endorse.
After all, the opinions expressed by professionals are more credible to the public.
Of course, later on, everyone found that these professionals also spoke for money, so whenever these professionals said something, everyone would first think in the opposite direction.
Later, experts all over the world were almost the same, they just spoke for their own interests.
Some experts just selectively speak to mislead others, and they don’t talk nonsense.
Some experts, that's really nonsense.
Starting from school has another advantage, that is, users are more concentrated.
Ni Nan reported this matter to the superior department.
When the dealer heard that Mr. Jack was willing to invest in Niuniu's civilian network, he immediately became interested.
Because Mr. Jack's investment has never been profitable.
The dealer also made a lot of money by investing in Panda Computer and Panda Mobile Phone.
In particular, the first electronic game competition pushed Panda Computer to a higher level, that is, sales volume rose sharply.
As for mobile phones, of course, the profit is more considerable, this thing is money every month.
At the end of December 1986, the dealer met Liu Hai again. The current dealers are a new generation of dealers, but these people are older than Liu Hai.
"Mr. Jack, I'm glad to see you again, my friend!" The dealer was surprised to see that Liu Hai was still very young.
"My friend, you are still so young, do you have any secrets?" A dealer asked directly.
"I just like to drink some pure plant drinks."
"Although these plant drinks can only play a very small role every day, they play a role every day." Liu Hai said with a smile.
Liu Hai himself did not understand why his appearance aged slowly.
Since these foreigners asked, of course he had to answer. It would be impolite not to answer.
"We also think that tea is one of the representatives. Maybe the functions of other plants have not been discovered yet." The dealer nodded.
"The most obvious one is lemon." Liu Hai was talking about the vitamin C rich in lemons. Before this, seafarers were prone to sepsis at sea. Finally, it was found that drinking lemon water could prevent this disease, and then it was further discovered that it was the role of vitamin C.
"Mr. Jack wants to invest in the civilian network?" The dealers sat down and started to talk business.
Liu Hai of course produced plant drinks for the dealers, but for these foreign people, they don't like other flavors, so these drinks have been purified twice to remove the taste inside.
In our country, it is just the opposite. For example, if the public buys a licorice honeysuckle drink and it tastes like sugar water instead of licorice, they will complain on the spot.
"Yes, only London has this condition in the world now. I mean the profit condition." Liu Hai nodded and said.
"With the current network transmission speed, we can't think of any profit? Or Mr. Jack, do you have any good ideas?" The main purpose of the dealers coming here is for this.
Because the dealers have consulted many professionals and they all think that the civilian network does not have much profit prospects.
"This is too much. If you think this project is not profitable, then I can invest alone." Liu Hai smiled and took a sip of the drink and said.
The dealers looked at each other when they heard this: "Mr. Jack, we have been good friends and partners for many years, but business is business."
"Yes, we would like to hear some of Mr. Jack's ideas, but of course we will keep them confidential."
Liu Hai was very satisfied with the dealer's attitude. Let's just do business and don't talk nonsense about emotions.
“The first thing is to connect the major universities in London with the Internet. College students are the fastest group to accept new things. This means that our number of potential users is also relatively concentrated, and we also have a great advantage in network construction investment. "
"As for the ways to make money, I have many, many ways in my mind, but it's just not convenient for me to say them out now." Liu Hai said with a smile.
Several dealers looked at each other when they saw Liu Hai like this.
"So how much money is Mr. Jack willing to invest?" Several dealers were able to come here to meet Liu Hai in person, which actually explained the situation.
"If possible, I can be a sole proprietor."
"No, no, since we are here, we must be sincere." The dealer now talked about feelings again.
"Gentlemen, I want to build London's civilian network into a model. Do you know what a model means?"
"It can be replicated with this model anywhere, think about how big the market is around the world."
"Although computers seem to be very expensive now, with the development of the times, computers will enter thousands of households."
"How many markets are there in the world? Waiting for us to develop them!"
"As long as our model allows others to see the prospect, then they will cry and let us enter their market."
"My final idea is to turn the whole world into a huge local area network. I actually don't have much interest in making money anymore." Liu Hai said pretentiously.
Several dealers did not refute Liu Hai's statement, but nodded.
Because Mr. Jack has too much wealth, not to mention the income from entertainment IP or game consoles, the development potential of these two giants, Heshun Airlines and Fiberhome Technology Company, makes dealers jealous. .
Fortunately, the dealer is a partner with Mr. Jack and has a large market channel.
If someone else said they were not interested in money, the dealer would turn around and leave.
But if it were Mr. Jack, if he said he wasn't interested, he really wasn't interested.
"How about 20%? Because it's not just us." the dealer said.
"Of course it's no problem." Liu Hai actually didn't expect to get money to invest in shares, but since others offered it, he would definitely accept it.
Several dealers felt a little regretful when they saw Liu Hai agreeing so readily.
"Everyone, now that we have signed the contract, I can openly tell you my plan."
"In fact, the most valuable thing from ancient times to the present is: information!"
"During World War II, the Allies cracked the enemy's code and obtained information about the enemy's actions, which laid the foundation for victory in World War II."
"With the Internet, we can do a lot of things sitting in front of the computer."
"Cambridge students can communicate with Oxford students on the computer about any issue, from food to study majors to various cultures."
“Various part-time job information can also be released through the Internet, allowing students to quickly obtain part-time positions.”
“In addition, you can also make friends through the Internet and communicate with your good friends on the Internet about your achievements today anytime and anywhere.”
"There are also online games. Go fans can gather together to discuss Go, and chess enthusiasts can gather together to discuss chess."
"Even each major can establish its own small circle to exchange the latest information."
“You can even check some library information online.”
"You can even order food through the Internet. As long as the merchant has a computer, he can see the ordering information sent to him by the user." Liu Hai said eloquently.
The dealers applauded one after another when Liu Hai said so much.
"It's wonderful. We believe that Mr. Jack, you will create another myth." The dealers said.
"Gentlemen, I still have a business deal. I wonder if any of you are interested?" Liu Hai asked with another chuckle.
"Of course I'm interested, but I don't know where it is?"
"Airplane, we designed a twin-engine narrow-body long-range passenger aircraft." Liu Hai said.
Several dealers looked at each other and waited for Liu Hai to continue.
"In this world, there are only a limited number of rich people, and there are more people who are not rich."
"This aircraft is mainly about being cheap, and there will be no food or water provided on the aircraft."
"At the same time, the time it chooses to take off and land is not the busiest time, so its fares are very cheap."
"So cheap that you can't find any fault with him."
“It’s so cheap that anyone with a job can fly the whole family.”
"Of course, this aircraft is still being tested. After it is finalized, I hope you can help obtain the European airworthiness certificate and flight permit." Liu Hai stated his purpose.
"Of course there is no problem with this!" Several dealers decided to go back and investigate to see if anyone could accept the method Mr. Jack said.
"Happy cooperation!" Liu Hai said with a smile.
"Happy cooperation!" The dealers nodded.
After the dealers returned, they quickly established a fast network service company, which soon signed network service agreements with major universities in London.
Fast Network Service Company entered the fast lane, and Fenghuo Technology Company had already prepared the relevant equipment.
It was directly transported to London by air, and then the first root server was born in London. The server used a dual-core Loongson chip.
Niu Niu also opened a network address registration department to manage the registration of civilian network addresses around the world.
As soon as this department opened, it welcomed more than 10,000 network address registrations. Everyone knows what Motorola, Nokia, and Mitsubishi are. There are more meaningless addresses such as Amazon, Alibaba, QQ, and Facebook that make people confused, but as long as you pay, you can register.
This is of course Liu Hai's handiwork. He applied for registration of all these famous companies, companies, and even place names in the world. Of course, Liu Hai did not apply for registration himself, but established a special management company.
Although it is winter in Niu Niu, as long as the money is enough, the workers will still work hard.
In addition, these universities already have internal LANs, and they just need to add some equipment and install some software to use.
Installing software is also simple and crude. Just replace the hard drive of the computer with a new one, and then add new memory.
It is mainly a computer. It is too troublesome to install software on a computer.
Of course, the money for the replacement of the hard drive of these computers is also donated by the dealer.
The college students of these universities looked at these new software and were confused.
BBS?
Email?
City friends?
The internal LAN of Cambridge University was updated at the end of January, although it has not yet been connected to the external network.
But all the students found that the software on the computer can be used.
BBS is actually a forum where students can express their opinions freely and discuss with everyone.
Chatting and making friends means registering an account, and then you can add your good friends in reality, or you can find friends online.
Of course, the current network speed is relatively slow.
As for email, it is even simpler to register an email account yourself, and then add a good friend's email, and then you can send messages to good friends.
Of course, this seems a bit useless now, after all, everyone is just on the same campus.
The most popular section on the forum is part-time job information.
Then some students quarrel with others for their own ideas.
This is what most students like to watch, and then from time to time, the forum is most active with people on it 24 hours a day.
Of course, there are more people watching the fun.
The dealers looked at the average traffic used by Cambridge University students and smiled, although it is a local area network now.
But an internal network has so much traffic, so if so many universities are added together and form a larger network, how much traffic will there be!
Now the dealers regret that they gave Liu Hai 20% of the shares, which was too much.
At this time, Liu Hai was comfortably playing in the amusement park with his granddaughter because it was the New Year holiday!
