Chapter 241 Set a Small Goal First, Create a 'Wanda'

"The TCP/IP protocol has now become a network standard. It is not impossible to use this communication protocol to establish a new Internet backbone network. In 1986 in the previous life, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) established NSFnet using the TCP/IP protocol. Finally Completely replace ARPAnet and become the backbone network of the Internet! It's just... I don't know if the US government allows companies to conduct commercial operations now?" Li Zetian murmured.

He thought for a while, and decided to mention it to President Reagan. If he and the U.S. Congress agree, it would be good; if not, it doesn’t matter. If it can attract the attention of the U.S. government, it would be great if the National Science Foundation of the United States can establish NSFnet earlier. , at least to promote the development of the Internet.

Thinking of this, Li Zetian picked up the phone and dialed the number of the White House.

After five or six seconds, the phone was connected.

"President Reagan, hello, I'm Chronos Li."

"Hehe, Chronos, why did you suddenly think of calling me, do you have something to do with me?" President Reagan laughed.

"Yes."

"Oh, what's the matter?" President Reagan asked seriously. As the richest man in the world, since Li Zetian called himself, it must be very important.

Li Zetian asked: "President Reagan, do you know much about Arpanet?"

"Hehe, you know, I'm an actor, not a computer technician, so I only know a little about Arpanet. The military, schools, research institutions, and enterprises can communicate through this network!"

"Yes. Have you thought about building a bigger network and getting more people into it?"

President Reagan was stunned for a moment, and said: "As far as I know, the investment and establishment of Arpanet is very expensive, so only a very small number of people can use it now."

"Then I'm willing to build this network, do you think it's okay?" Li Zetian said tentatively.

President Reagan pondered at this moment, and did not immediately answer Li Zetian's request. After a while, he said, "Chronos, I will give you an answer after this matter is discussed in Congress!"

"Ok!"

Just when Li Zetian ended his conversation with President Reagan, China finally joined the Arpanet in 1983, and communicated with foreign computers and networks for the first time. Since then, it has also opened the curtain of Internet construction!
……

Li Zetian waited for a while, and President Reagan finally replied to him, rejecting his request, implying that the Internet is related to information security, and the U.S. Congress would not allow him to be a Chinese.

Li Zetian immediately cursed in his heart.

Fuck your paralyzed US Congress, is it racism?

At the beginning, Li Zetian's company was still small and could not feel the suppression from all aspects of the United States. However, when it developed to a certain level, various pressures came one after another. The most obvious is that the U.S. government suppressed Li Zetian in order to support other companies. Many enterprises have handed over many government projects to these companies.However, Li Zetian's company received very few projects.

Li Zetian then asked if the U.S. Congress had any plan to build a network.

President Reagan said that the cost of laying the network is too high, and Congress has not yet made a thorough decision.Let the US National Science Foundation NSF do a detailed investigation report first, and then do further discussions.

After the call ended, Li Zetian said to himself: "From this point of view, the speed of NSFnet network construction should be advanced."

Li Zetian stretched his waist and sighed: "In the era without the Internet, it feels so boring! Let's build it earlier to speed up the development of human science and technology!"

At this time, Li Zetian thought of China. How could China keep up with the rapid development of the United States?

"Well, I still need to go to China to invest more! Investing in real estate business is justifiable, developing ordinary residences, apartments, villas, commercial real estate, high-end hotels, cultural tourism, supermarkets and chain department stores. Well, first set a small goal and set up a' Wanda' come out. Money is not everything, money belongs to Wanda..." Li Zetian laughed.

Of course, the real estate company established by Li Zetian will definitely not be called Wanda Group, that would be too tacky, and there is already Dalian Wanda Real Estate Company in mainland China. The name "Huaren Real Estate" sounds nice, but the company is a Hong Kong company. If Liu Luanxiong hadn't gone bankrupt in this life, the company would have been bought by him and become a very important real estate company in Hong Kong. Picking up girls and giving them houses is naturally so easy .

Li Zetian actually pays attention to this Chinese real estate company. It was established in 1922. It is an old company with strong strength.

Right now, China and Britain are negotiating, and the two sides have not yet reached an agreement. The future of Hong Kong is unresolved. People are panicking, and the stock market has plummeted.

Li Zetian has relations with the upper echelons of China, and the Chinese side very much hopes to get the support of Li Chengzhi and Li Zetian in Hong Kong, so Li Zetian knows much more about the progress of the Sino-British negotiations than ordinary people.

It is only July now, and it will probably not be until next year that the Sino-British negotiations will produce results. Therefore, the Hong Kong stock market will continue to fall.

At the end of the year, Li Zetian will come to Hong Kong to search.

Chinese real estate will be one of his goals, and then he will use it as a springboard to enter the mainland.

In fact, there are quite a few people who have the same plan as Li Zetian, and Li Jiacheng is one of them.Li Zetian has read the biography of Li Jiacheng, and vaguely remembers that in the mid-80s, "Cheung Kong Industrial" purchased a controlling stake in the Hong Kong Electric Lighting Group. "Hong Kong Electric" is one of the 40 constituent stocks of Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index. The company is powerful and is one of the two major power suppliers in Hong Kong (the other is CLP Power).

Now it seems that it should be this year that Li Jiacheng bought the controlling stake in Hongkong Electric Group!

However, Hong Kong Electric will be in Li Zetian's pocket.

……

Li Zetian hummed happily. The Umbrella Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has been basically established. The United States, Hong Kong, and London have respectively established umbrella artificial intelligence research centers. In terms of artificial intelligence, they will never lag behind others.

Now he has come to Galaxy Network Company, the router has already been developed, and he even took such a ridiculous name as "Galaxy Router". People who don't know it think that this router can also connect the entire Galaxy network together. Hoho...

At this time, Tian Shuai and Zhang Hao learned that Li Zetian was coming, and hurried out of the office to greet him.

Upon meeting, Zhang Hao excitedly said: "Mr. Li, you are here!"

"Yeah." Li Zetian nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Li!" Tian Shuai came over and greeted with a smile.

Li Zetian also nodded to him.

"The Galaxy router has been developed, so I'll come over to have a look. This thing will be the flagship product of Galaxy Network Company in the future!"

"Mr. Li, please come with me to take a look at this powerful router. With it, the network in the university can be connected together!" Zhang Han said, walking to the front to lead the way.

Li Zetian and Tian Shuai smiled at each other and followed behind him.

After a while, I came to the laboratory.

Zhang Hao brought a "Galaxy Router", a rectangular white box with a simple appearance.

Next, Zhang Han gave a demonstration to Li Zetian. He used the "Galaxy Router" to connect multiple computers in the company into a network, which could exchange messages, and then connected two different networks into a network.

Powerful and very stable.

Tian Shuai introduced at the side: "Mr. Li, the Galaxy router has entered the mass production stage. We will hold a press conference on July 7 to invite our potential users, such as top 30 companies, schools, research institutions, and even the military. Please come, it will be officially released on August 8!"

"Well, this arrangement is very good." Li Zetian paused and said, "So far, the company's main products are only network cards and routers, and the products are too monotonous. Galaxy Networks is defined as a network equipment company. All network equipment products, Galaxy Networks Network companies can produce, including hubs, repeaters, bridges, switches, routers, network cards, modems, optical transceivers, optical cables, etc.

Once the Galaxy Router comes out, it is sure to be very popular.After going public for financing, the company can develop rapidly. "

Since Galaxy Networks involves issues such as information security, it is best to go public.

"Galaxy Internet Company is going to go public?!" Zhang Hao walked over quickly when he heard this, his eyes brightened, and he said excitedly, "Haha, didn't you say that I want to go to Nasdaq to ring the bell too!!! "
