Chapter 311 Wealth is Enemies!

The personal income tax in the United States is one of the main taxes, but for Li Zetian, he has "zero" salary in the company under his name, and the personal income tax is almost zero.

Then, the United States can only charge corporate income tax.

However, for companies outside the United States, it is difficult to collect taxes in the United States.

"The U.S. Department of Justice is so awesome, don't invite me back in the future!"

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Li Zetian's lips. Since the United States wants to curb my development, well, I will develop in other countries.In this world, Europe and Asia do not lack talents.

In recent years, the U.S. has declined and its products are not competitive. Li Zetian decided to make his situation worse.

Subsequently, under the order of Li Zetian, Gene Technology Company terminated the acquisition.

Immediately afterwards, R&D centers began to be established around the world, and even pharmaceutical factories were established in other countries.

In addition, Li Zetian has formulated a global strategic plan to establish branches and factories outside the United States for other companies under his name.

……

A month later, with the help of Li Zetian, the Hong Kong government successfully applied for a root domain name server.

Right now, the United States and Europe don't pay much attention to the root domain name server, allowing Li Zetian to take advantage of the loophole.

When the news reached Li Zetian's ears, he couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling very fulfilled.

"Hehe, in my previous life, things that the whole of China couldn't do were taken down by me so easily. Is it a block? I feel like a block!!! Hong Kong will return to China in 1997. Hong Kong has a root domain name server It is equivalent to having a root domain name server in China. The Chinese government should give me a Chinese contribution award!"

Li Zetian was in a happy mood, went to the wine cabinet, took a bottle of 82 Lafite, and poured himself a glass of red wine.He shook the wine glass subconsciously, thinking about what to do next.

Under the influence of his Butterfly Effect, the development of computers and the Internet far surpassed his previous life.Li Zetian does not want to wait slowly for the development of the Internet. Promoting the rapid development of the Internet is what he likes to do now.

Now, money is nothing to him.

He has huge funds, contacts and various resources, coupled with the control of future development trends, making money is nothing to him at all.

Changing the world is his goal.

It is his interest to create various new technologies that he has not seen in the future.

"It is not law that is used to promote history, but money, and it can only be money!"

Over the years, Li Zetian has a deep understanding of the wise words of the financial oligarch JP Morgan!
With money, he acquired ASML and invested heavily in research and development of more advanced lithography machines; with money, he acquired Applied Materials and developed more advanced chip production equipment, thus breaking Moore's Law, in a shorter period of time More powerful chips were developed.

Any laboratory can see the existence of computers, using powerful supercomputers for scientific research, and its research and development speed is many times stronger than ordinary supercomputers!
The existence of computers has driven the development of the entire technology industry.

The heart of a computer is the chip.

The core of the chip is the production equipment and materials!
The rapid development of the Internet has promoted the development of computers and chips to a certain extent.

"E-mail and BBS already exist, but the most important things on the Internet—the website and the World Wide Web have not yet been born!" Li Zetian took a sip of his wine and murmured, "Maybe it's time to develop them! However, before Go to Sun Microsystems and have them develop a web server!"

……

People in the world don't know that an invention that changed the world was decided so lightly by Li Zetian.

The next day, Li Zetian came to Sun Microsystems.

He ordered the company's key leadership to come to the conference room for meetings.

When everyone came to the conference room, they were full of doubts.

"Andy Becketterson, Mr. Li called us together, what exactly is it for?"

"Oh, how would I know... I just got the news too."

"William Nelson Joy, what do you know?"

"I don't know, but I guess it should be a very important thing!"

"..."

"Mr. Li, everyone is here." The CEO of Sun Microsystems said to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian nodded, then looked at the crowd, and said with a smile, "Hi everyone, I called you over here. I really have something very important to announce!"

After a pause, Li Zetian glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you know the Internet?"

Everyone nodded.

"Know!"

"The word Internet was first spread from Sprint, and it is said that it was Mr. Li who said it first."

"The Internet is a very extensive network that combines ARPANet, NFSNet, and SprintNet, Sprint's national digital fiber optic network!"

"..."

Li Zetian nodded and said with a smile: "Well, very good, since you all know the Internet, do you realize the value behind the Internet?"

This question stumped everyone for a while.

The main products of Sun Microsystems include graphics workstations, minicomputers, servers, and supercomputers.The current servers are mainly enterprise-level servers, large enterprises and important industries that need to process a large amount of data, high processing speed and high reliability requirements, such as finance, securities, transportation, post and telecommunications, communications and other industries, usually database servers .As for the Web server, there is no such concept yet.

And the development of the website requires a web server!
At the same time, the related web page writing language-hypertext markup language and hypertext transfer protocol are also needed.

Seeing everyone's thinking expressions, Li Zetian couldn't help smiling, it was time to pretend to be aggressive.

Next, Li Zetian spoke. He ordered someone to insert the CD he brought into the CD-ROM of the computer, and then connect it to the projector to play the PPT he made last night.

While playing, Li Zetian explained.

"It won't be long before the Internet will connect the whole world. People can learn about news and current events in the world on the Internet, browse text, pictures, and even videos on the Internet, and chat with relatives and friends on the Internet. The Internet will completely change people's lives. way of life!"

"If there are 10 billion people in the world using the Internet, then how huge the data circulating on the Internet will be, isn't it a huge business opportunity for Sun Microsystems? Because we can provide servers for data storage!! !"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "So far, the Internet has not fully demonstrated its charm. Although there are e-mails and BBSs, they have not realized the functions I just mentioned. There is no way out in the world, and we need to develop it." Pioneers! We at Sun Microsystems will be the pioneers! Now please pay attention, the next thing I am going to tell is the greatest invention of the Internet!!!”

As soon as the words fell, everyone focused on the projection, their faces full of excitement and excitement.They all know that Li Zetian is a super genius who has invented many outstanding products. Now, his tone is so solemn, he must have invented something extraordinary!Now, if such a thing is handed over to Sun Microsystems to develop, it will undoubtedly make Sun Microsystems a lot of money, and everyone will follow suit!

Li Zetian organized the language and said: "Everyone knows that data is spread on the Internet, so, have you thought about saving the data in the form of a book page, because it is used on the Internet, so it can be named 'Web page'. In this way, the disseminated data can be clearly displayed on the web page, which makes it easier to communicate, exchange information and query information on a global scale..."

As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, it was as if a window had been opened, making everyone realize suddenly!
"Wonderful, this is simply wonderful. In this way, a lot of data can be saved on a web page, and browsing is simple and clear."

"Yeah, I'm afraid you can put the news in the newspaper on the web page!"

"Hehe, isn't the newspaper industry going to collapse?"

"..."

Everyone was inexplicably excited and chatted endlessly.

Li Zetian suppressed his hand, signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then said with a smile: "Writing a web page requires a special language, which I call a hypertext markup language. In addition, in order to achieve global information exchange, a hypertext transfer protocol must also be formulated!!!Sun Microsystems products have servers, so everyone should also know that webpage data requires a server!"

The chief scientist of the company, William Nelson Joy, couldn't help but said: "There are tens of thousands of web pages, which means that the web server will be a big seller!!!"

Li Zetian smiled at him, "That's right, the more web pages there are, the more web servers are needed!"

Then, Li Zetian continued to introduce the relationship between webpages, websites, domain names and the www symbol at the beginning.

www is called the World Wide Web, that is, a collection of countless network sites and web pages based on the www hypertext markup language and hypertext protocol.Whenever a user wants to visit a website, they must write www at the beginning of the domain name.

At this time, William Nelson Joy suddenly thought of something, and excitedly said: "Mr. Li, if we apply for a patent on the WWW World Wide Web, then we can charge patent fees for each website!"

As soon as these words came out, many people in the audience echoed, as if they had discovered a cash cow!

Li Zetian shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "This is not acceptable! If WWW charges, then the development of the Internet will inevitably slow down, the number of websites will definitely decrease, and fewer servers will be needed. In addition, www is just a communication standard. The company may develop standards such as wwa, wwb, and wwc, resulting in more than ten communication standards for a website, which is bound to be detrimental to the development of web servers. We need to enlarge our vision, as long as we make the cake bigger, and we If you are the standard maker, why don’t you worry about our servers not making money?”

After Li Zetian finished speaking, everyone nodded and gave Li Zetian admiration.

"Oh, Chronos Li deserves to be the richest man in the world, what he sees is really different from others!"

William Nelson Joy was slightly embarrassed, and said to Li Zetian: "Mr. Li, you are still smart and have far-sighted eyes!!!"

Li Zetian smiled lightly: "It's nothing. Before I came here, I just thought more about these issues than you. By the way, I don't specifically participate in the hypertext markup language and hypertext transfer protocol. Sun Microsystems must be able to Complete independently, and then develop the corresponding web server!"

"Mr. Li, don't worry, there's no problem!!!" William Nelson Joy assured that Li Zetian had pointed out the development direction for them, and the development of technology was not difficult.

Li Zetian nodded. For Sun Microsystems, which is full of talents, it is really not difficult to develop these, but people did not expect it.

The WWW World Wide Web in the previous life was developed by one person.

When Li Zetian left the gate of Sun Microsystems, he paused and looked back at the company building. The future of the Internet is here!

Back in the car, Li Zetian secretly analyzed that it is already September, and the development of WWW must be completed next year, and the world's first website will be successfully launched!However, there is a question that Li Zetian is worth considering. What kind of website is the first website?
Web portals?Does the first website need to connect to other websites?

News site?It seems that most of the first people who went online were computer and Internet enthusiasts, and perhaps not interested in news.

Technical exchange forum?Seems to work...

"The first website, I don't expect it to develop and grow! However, its existence can pave the way for other websites and advertise. When there are more websites in the future, we will build a website similar to Yahoo." Li Zetian shook his head suddenly and smiled, "Oh, It’s too early to say these things... After thinking about it, developing a browser is the right thing! If you can monopolize the browser market, pop-up recommendation, mandatory binding, recommending your own website is still like playing?”

When Li Zetian thought of browsers, he thought of the battle between Netscape and Microsoft.

Right now, Microsoft is already a company under its own name, so are they going to kill each other in the future?Microsoft's operating system monopolizes the market, and IE is in an invincible position when it is bound to the operating system.Even if he established the Netscape browser company by himself, he might not be able to handle Microsoft.

"Establish Netscape Browser Company, and then sell it to Microsoft Corporation. What's wrong with Microsoft Corporation, they have to spend billions of dollars, and they have to accept their own favor, haha..." Li Zetian laughed secretly in his heart.

The combination of e-mail, operating system and office suite is enough for Microsoft to achieve the glory of its previous life.Microsoft is a listed company, and Li Zetian is only a major shareholder in it. Li Zetian has no obligation to hand over such a good project as the Netscape browser to Microsoft. Of course, he wants to monopolize it.

"Mr. Li, why are you in a daze?" Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help pushing Li Zetian's arm when he saw that he was looking out of the car window.

Li Zetian smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that with the advent of the Internet age, my worth will skyrocket..." After a pause, Li Zetian added, "I'm going to be truly rich!!!"

Dongfang Yuqin smiled "puchi": "You are already richer than many countries!"

"What are the small countries? I am richer than the US government!"

Dongfang Yuqin was stunned, thinking that Li Zetian was joking, how could there be a businessman richer than the US government!

Li Zetian hugged Dongfang Yuqin into his arms, leaned close to her face, and said softly, "You don't believe me?"

"I believe you!" Dongfang Yuqin stretched out her finger and pressed Li Zetian's forehead.

"Well, I'm really bragging..." Li Zetian laughed.
