Chapter 381 Porters

Doing charity is of great help to the company's brand promotion, and it can also reduce taxes. Of course, Li Zetian likes to do it.In addition, many rural areas in China are too poor, and elementary school students have never even seen a computer, which undoubtedly makes their start far behind others. Therefore, Li Zetian thought he could help, so he should help.

Within a month, the Glory Internet Cafe was booming, and the equipment began to be updated.

After replacing the Galaxy diskless system, the Internet cafe is easier to manage, and it also reduces the spread of viruses.

The original computer had a hard drive, and players always downloaded randomly, causing various problems.In addition, what's more, some people even pry open the computer and steal the hard disk.The maintenance fee of Internet cafes is not a small figure.

Well now, with Galaxy diskless system, many problems are solved.

After Galaxy Networks' Galaxy diskless system was released, it was very popular and immediately occupied the market!

Since then, Galaxy Networks has added another blockbuster product.

With the rapid development of the Internet, the demand for network equipment is simply in short supply. Galaxy Networks is much stronger than Cisco in the previous life.At present, the market value of Yinhe Network Company is frightening to death!

$3000 million! ! !
Correct!
It's that amazing!

However, there is still half the gap from Cisco's previous peak of 6000 billion US dollars.

However, for Galaxy Networks, this is definitely a matter of time.

As a result, Tian Shuai and Zhang Han's net worth skyrocketed, becoming billionaires, and both entered the list of the world's top ten richest people!
Of course, what is even more exaggerated is that more than half of the top ten richest people in the world are working for Li Zetian.

This sour feeling of accomplishment is simply indescribable! !
And it is obvious that, with the passing of year after year, except for Li Zetian, the top ten richest people in the world all work for him.

……

Mango Computer, Apple, and Lenovo have bought second-hand hard drives eliminated by Glory Internet Cafes at low prices, and started assembling second-hand computers.

Under the leadership of the LY Foundation, the activities of sending warmth and sending computers to rural areas have been carried out in full swing in rural primary schools.

The LY Foundation also purchased a large amount of stationery and books, clothes, shoes and so on.

Of course, good deeds must be exposed!

The LY Foundation also brought a large number of media reporters. On the one hand, they reported the poverty in the countryside and called on more people to do charity; on the other hand, they naturally promoted the LY Foundation and companies such as Apple, Lenovo, and Mango Computer.

As soon as the media reported it, the Chinese people had a very good impression of the LY Foundation, Apple and other companies.

"The countryside is so poor. These children are really pitiful. The schools are dilapidated, the tables and benches are broken, and there are no books. Apple, Lenovo, Mango Computer and other companies are really good companies with a conscience!"

"Most of the businessmen nowadays are not benevolent for the sake of being rich. When they have money, they know how to buy villas and luxury cars and squander them at will, but they never think about doing charity in the past. If there are more businessmen like Chronos Li in China, why are there so much? Have a look. , What a pitiful rural child, with a skinny body, studying in this leaky classroom, and not even a decent stationery. Where are the Chinese charities? Where is the Chinese Red Cross?"

"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, which shelters the world's poor and happy people!!! If it weren't for the media reporters who accompanied the LY Foundation to report this time, those of us in the city would never know that there are so many children in the countryside. Local education, even if there is a place to study, the conditions are extremely severe! The government should take action, why has the money to help other countries develop, but has no money to allocate funds for the construction of new schools in rural areas?"

"Yeah, it is always said in the news broadcast that today I helped this African country build a power station, and yesterday I helped another country build a railway, or built a hospital. Hey, I have never heard of helping us in rural China. Build it!"

"Is it really okay to treat one another so favorably? Who is the real one???"

"That's right! Chronos Li is still an American, but he is so enthusiastic about helping China. Looking at our own country, I really feel chilled!"

"..."

Li Zetian couldn't laugh or cry when he saw the complaints from some Chinese netizens.

He was just trying to promote his company, but he didn't expect that things would turn out like this, and the people would criticize the government.

"It's definitely not my fault~~" Li Zetian said, but there was a tinge of pride in his heart.

At this moment, the Chinese government is being grilled on the fire, and the public has great opinions.

BJ leaders get together for a meeting.

"Chronos Li is really looking for trouble. If you want to do charity, just do charity. He just brought reporters along and promoted it along the way. Now the people are very dissatisfied with our government, and there are many complaints!"

"Everyone, I'm not talking about Chronos Li now. The immediate priority is to solve the problem. Do you have any solutions?"

"I think it's very simple to solve this problem. Don't the people call on the Chinese government to help build new schools in the countryside? Then we just follow the people's will and do it."

"Having said that, there are so many rural areas in China, and the government's funds are tight!"

"Led by the Chinese government, a 'Hope Project' plan is launched to raise funds from outsiders. Many companies and people are rich and caring! Moreover, our plan can go on for a long time! As long as everyone sees us Act and they will be satisfied."

"I hope the engineering plan is very good, I second it!"

"I also agree!"

"Seconded!"

"..."

Soon, the "Hope Project" plan was introduced.

After Li Zetian saw it, his face was full of astonishment.

The plan was originally a public welfare undertaking initiated by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the China Youth Development Foundation in 1989 to help out-of-school children in poverty-stricken areas. It may be because of the butterfly effect that it did not exist in this life.

Unexpectedly, it was born again in the end.

Seeing the "Hope Project" proposed by the Chinese government, Li Zetian thought to himself that he must pay for it...

Now, several of the largest private enterprises in China belong to Li Zetian's industry, and they are ashamed not to pay for it.

However, Li Zetian is still very supportive of the Hope Project. He does not go deep into the countryside and does not know the sufferings of the people.

Later, Li Zetian asked companies under his name to donate money, totaling more than 10 billion yuan.

10 billion RMB is not much, if you donate more, it will embarrass other companies.

Think about it, if you donate 1 million and other companies donate 1, this company will not be scolded to death for being so stingy!

People always make comparisons.

This matter passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was August.

"Titanic" has been offline in the United States, and the box office in the United States is as high as 15.6 billion US dollars, causing an explosive sensation.

At the same time, "Titanic" has been released one after another in various countries around the world, and has occupied No.1 in the box office rankings of each country, and broke the local box office records with its destructive power.The box office of the movies released during the same period was all terrible, and they became cannon fodder.

In addition, the number of registered users of qq has already exceeded 1000 million. In the past two months, it has reached an astonishing 1590 million registered users worldwide, of which the daily active users are as high as 650 million!

Of course, with such a large number of users, the pressure on servers and broadband is very high, and the company spends a lot of money every day.

As for how Tencent makes money, this is not only a question that all Tencent employees are thinking about, but even Wall Street and other Internet companies are worrying about it.

Seeing that Tencent only burns money and does not make money, many people questioned it over time.

"I'm afraid Tencent will be like other Internet companies, because it can't find a profit point, and it will go bankrupt in the end!"

"Many investors on Wall Street are skeptical of Tencent!"

"Tencent's glory is only a flash in the pan, and it will fade away soon!"

"..."

At this moment, public opinion is very unfavorable to Tencent, and the CEO of Tencent is also anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"Mr. Li, most of the current Internet companies rely on advertisements to make money, but our qq software does not have any advertisements. Look, isn't there a lot of free space on the qq software, which can just be advertised? In addition, whenever a user logs in We need to buffer when there is time, we can play an advertisement, and... make a pop-up advertisement every once in a while..."

On the phone, the CEO of Tencent talked a lot about how to advertise. He really carried out the advertisement to the end.

After hearing these words, Li Zetian couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Well, some of the methods you mentioned are acceptable, and some are not. Advertisements are fine, but they can't affect the user experience!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li, you are right, I will choose selectively."

"Well," Li Zetian nodded with a smile, and continued, "Actually, I know exactly how Tencent makes money. If you call today, I will explain it to you in detail."

"You said, I turned on the phone record!"

Li Zetian thought about it, organized his language, and said slowly: "The method is actually very simple. It is to launch a variety of qq value-added services and qq memberships. Users can become qq members and enjoy qq value-added services after paying. These value-added services include Accelerate the growth of qq level, build a qq group with a larger upper limit, enjoy popular names, qq personal space, special dress up and personalized display qq show, etc... In short, there are many things, you can explore them one by one .in addition,"

Li Zetian paused, then said: "Cooperate with telecom companies to launch wireless value-added services, that is, QQ is bundled with mobile phone subscription services, highlighting the value of wireless mobile services! We get money from telecom companies, and telecom companies get money from users, achieving a win-win situation! "

After Li Zetian finished speaking, the CEO of Tencent was almost dumbfounded.It's amazing how many golden ideas came out of nowhere.

Ah, Chronos Li is indeed a super genius! ! !

"Mr. Li, I understand. Don't worry, I will develop these new functions immediately according to your instructions! Hehe, those who question us will soon stop laughing!" Tencent CEO said loudly excitedly. Said.

"Hehe, as long as you have a huge number of users, there will naturally be opportunities to make money! In the Internet age, traffic is money!!!"

"Yes, Mr. Li, you are so right. In the Internet age, traffic is money!"

"Okay, don't flatter me, go to work quickly, and send me an email if you have any questions you don't understand."

"Yes!!!"

Li Zetian hung up the phone. Wireless value-added services are the main interests of QQ, and they also promote the development of the Internet.It is worth mentioning that if there was no Monternet launched by China Mobile, there would be no Tencent in the future.At that time, Tencent was on the verge of bankruptcy. It was precisely because QQ joined Monternet that it gained vitality and grew stronger. Then it got investment from foreign investment banks, and it has been out of control ever since!
Relying on its huge and unparalleled user base, Tencent has plagiarized in various ways, punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten. Except for a few Internet companies, such as Alibaba, Baidu, 360 and other companies, all other companies have been banned. Tencent is dead.

If you have it, I will copy it and beat you!

The most terrifying Chinese Internet company is Tencent.

Of course, this won't work in the United States. Try plagiarism and you will be sued in minutes.

Therefore, I am afraid that the Tencent company in this life can't be so rambunctious!But fortunately, Tencent cannot plagiarize, but Li Zetian can plagiarize, plagiarizing the memories in his mind.

In this world, the biggest plagiarist is not Tencent, but him——Li Zetian! ! !

However, Li Zetian was reluctant to admit that he had plagiarized.This is so ugly...

Didn't Nongfu Spring have a slogan called: "We don't produce water, we only work as porters of nature."

Therefore, Li Zetian also thinks: "I don't produce ideas, I'm just a porter of ideas!!"

……

Tencent has become very busy, there are too many things to develop, and it has to discuss cooperation with large telecom companies in the United States and even around the world.

Right now, Yahoo, Amazon, and TripAdvisor are approaching IPOs.Now that everyone already knows that these three companies are his properties, Li Zetian no longer hides them, and for the sake of publicity, he also participated in the road show.

Li Zetian is synonymous with success, and the dream of being the richest man in the United States and even the world!

With him participating in the road show, the valuations of these three companies have risen "slowly".

Among them, Yahoo's market value assessment has exceeded 500 billion U.S. dollars, which is amazing!

People really can't imagine that a simple website is worth so much money.But this is Silicon Valley, and this is the Internet, where anything is possible!
Time passed day by day, and Yahoo was the first to go public. This IPO attracted global attention, which was even more eye-catching than the listing of Netscape Browser.

Netscape browser is just a tool for surfing the Internet, unique.

But Yahoo is a website, and there are many websites on the Internet.

The success of Yahoo's website means the success of other websites.

People were full of anticipation and excitement. On September 1994, 9, Yahoo! was finally listed on NASDAQ!
