Reborn since 1993

Chapter 504: Ignored You Yesterday, Out of Your Reach Tomorrow
With the help of Himalaya Radio, Feiyan Technology will be listed. In addition to allowing the veterans, professional managers and other senior executives of Dongling Hi-Tech to reap the benefits and raising a large amount of research and development funds for Feiyan Technology, it will also make Feiyan's brand a golden signboard.

The title of a listed company is now very famous. Listing on the A-shares and Hong Kong stock markets can be widely publicized by many companies. Once it is listed on NASDAQ, no one in China will be able to question the brand of Feiyan Technology in the future. After all, it is listed on NASDAQ, so who can doubt Feiyan's "technical content"?
In addition, once Feiyan Technology goes public, it will be of great benefit to Dongling Hi-Tech's business in Cyberport in Hong Kong. After all, words are not enough, but with the example of Himalaya Radio and Feiyan Technology, if Cyberport holds a part of Feiyan Technology's shares, who dares to say that Dongling Hi-Tech's Cyberport in Hong Kong will not succeed?
Raise funds, recruit talents, and reap some profits on Nasdaq in the future to help Dongling Hi-Tech's future MP3 and other businesses.

Feiyan Technology's listing will not only benefit Dongling Hi-Tech, but it will definitely bring it a lot of profits.

These are the benefits that Dongling Hi-Tech can obtain in China. Overseas, Himalaya Radio can also obtain some benefits beyond paper data. For example, when the podcast creators on Himalaya Radio encounter troubles at Feiyan Technology, will they jump out and stage a scene of debating for the great scholars?
Just like the overseas version of a certain short video in the previous life, when it was banned in America, a large number of UP hosts, anchors, internet celebrities, merchants and even users who made a living by this short video jumped out to speak out for this short video.

But in fact, although the UP hosts, merchants, and users on this short video platform have loud voices, they cannot really influence the bosses on Capitol Hill in the United States, let alone the President of the United States.

The truly influential one is this domestic short video platform. The largest shareholder and investor in America is Yas, the boss of SIG, the Haina Foundation. He has invested in domestic short video platforms such as Shansong, Kuxun, and ByteDance.
The game between the domestic overseas short video represented by Yas and its Silicon Valley venture capital, Wall Street institutions, and opponents such as American Capitol Hill members, the President, and Facebook can truly determine its ultimate fate.

That is, after Yas took action, more than a dozen ethnic foundations and public relations agencies including the American Asian Federation, the Hispanic Foundation, and the Los Alliance jumped out and began to cheer for this domestic short video platform overseas.

These ethnic foundations and public relations agencies are not like those on short video platforms. They have real money and can influence votes, which is also what makes members of Capitol Hill wary.

Himalaya Radio certainly cannot achieve the same influence as that short video platform in America, but with the help of Himalaya Radio, it is still possible to find some supporters for Feiyan Technology and Dongling Hi-Tech in America.

By then, there will also be a group of people in America who have a vested interest in Dongling Hi-Tech and will ally themselves for profit. As long as it is profitable and affects their ability to earn dollars, there is no fear that they will not work hard to cheer for Dongling Hi-Tech in America.

In the past, after being targeted by America for several years, the United States still could not do anything to DJI and finally gave up the terms targeting DJI. Among them, DJI's technology was of course the first to be affected, and its irreplaceability was the foundation of DJI's foothold overseas.

But another important point is that there is a large group of people in America who have a vested interest in DJI.

DJI’s dealers, agents, supporting software companies in the Americas, as well as police departments, federal troops, farmers, Hollywood companies, fire departments, Federal Geological Surveys, National Guards, etc., almost every industry in the Americas that requires aerial operations and field work are loyal users of DJI. How can America ban it?
If Dongling Hi-Tech can cultivate a group of allies with vested interests in America, North America, old Europe and other places, then anyone in America who wants to target Dongling Hi-Tech in the future must be prepared to offend a large number of interest groups.

Of course, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and there is no need to rush. Just boil the frog in warm water, and things will naturally work out. By that time, there will be great scholars overseas who will debate for Dongling Hi-Tech!

……

Gary Hansen, who had just left the Himalaya Silicon Valley office, finally calmed down and rushed back to the California TV station.

But in the car, Gary Hansen found it difficult to calm down. Whether he was tempted by Li Dongling's proposal just now, in fact, only he knew it.

After so many years at the California TV station, he does know a lot of big shots and has some connections. If he can really establish a technology talk show of his own on Himalaya Radio and make a name for himself, it may not be impossible to attract advertising sponsors and get a million-dollar salary like Jory, Logan, and Toni!
When he thought of this, Gary Hansen's heart became even more heated, but he forced himself to suppress it. He knew that the most important thing at the moment was to get today's interview with Himalaya Radio broadcast on TV as soon as possible.

After all, Gary Hansen is a veteran in the industry. He knows that this interview is like his token of loyalty. If he can't even handle this, how can he expect Himalaya Radio to support him?

……

"Who can say for sure?"

“Maybe one day, I’ll be able to listen to music, watch music videos, TV shows, TV series, movies, etc. on my computer!”

ABC's interview with Himalaya Radio was playing on TV. After hearing Li Dongling's words, a sneer was heard in an office at Disney headquarters.

Hearing the sneer coming from the nasal cavity, several Disney directors and executives sitting in the office dared not say a word, because this was the office of Disney Emperor Eisner.

Although Disney belongs to the Disney family in name, everyone knows that its emperor is Eisner, not any member of the Disney family.

Just look at the current Disney board of directors and its structure. More than half of Disney’s twelve directors were brought in by Eisner or are related to him.

For example, Eisner's personal lawyer and personal architect were all members of the Disney board of directors and received generous salaries. The entire Disney executives knew that if they could please Emperor Eisner, they would have everything, including positions, salaries, and bonuses. Anyone who dared to disobey the Emperor would be driven away...

"A computer can take away the news, record, TV series and movie markets?"

When Eisner talked about this, he couldn't help shaking his head, with sarcasm and disdain in his eyes, "Who does he think he is? Internet media replaces TV stations and movie theaters?"

Eisner was dismissive of Li Dongling's words in the interview, including the so-called Internet. He did not think that a computer and a crappy website could be compared with hundreds of thousands of employees and a large number of Hollywood actors signed on. In Eisner's eyes, this was bullshit.

Sitting in Eisner's office, Eisner's newly promoted confidant Litvak wanted to speak. He wanted to say that Himalaya Radio had only been online for a month or two and had already attracted one million users. Disney should still pay attention to such emerging media companies.

In particular, in recent years, Wall Street's interest in the Internet has continued to increase. If Disney can establish a connection with the Internet industry, it may have an impact on its stock price.

But after looking around, Litvak saw that several Disney executives in the office were silent or had expressions of agreement with Eisner. He had heard of Eisner's autocratic and arrogant character, so Litvak opened his mouth and closed it again.

Not interested in watching any more, Eisner simply turned off the TV. Eisner naturally did not see what Li Dongling said afterwards, praising the Himalaya platform, about how many podcast creators there were, how much revenue they earned, etc.

"Give ABC TV a final offer and tell them that if they still don't agree, Disney will extend an olive branch to NBC and CBS!" Eisner said to the executives in front of him.

Eisner is now busy with the acquisition of ABC TV station and has no time to take care of other things, not to mention the Internet.

Every time Disney runs into trouble and its stock price is low, it likes to make a big, earth-shattering acquisition to boost its stock price. This trick works every time, and in the end, it almost took over several major American media giants, and it has nothing left to absorb...

I just don't know, although Eisner is indifferent to the Internet today, will he regret embracing the Internet for the sake of stock price one day when facing pressure from stock prices and investors? At that time, he may even ask to acquire Internet companies such as ASK and Sohu to build Disney's own portal website.

After all, things are unpredictable, who can tell for sure? !
……

“Currently, there are three people on Himalaya Radio who have earned over a million dollars, seven who have earned half a million dollars, and another fourteen who have earned over ten thousand dollars!
The average advertising and sponsorship revenue of radio stations cooperating with Himalaya increased by 11.4%, and some TV stations increased their revenue by more than 200%..."

"Wow!"

Unlike the arrogant Disney, there was a burst of exclamations at Yahoo headquarters when people saw the data reported on TV.

As an Internet company, Yahoo is well aware of the value of this data. Even if there is some water in it, it is still astonishing enough.

Yang Zhiyuan, Ferro, Kugel and other Yahoo leaders were all watching the news on TV. They looked at each other, with different meanings in their eyes.

Himalaya Radio can attract advertising sponsorship and allow podcasters on the platform to make money. This is equivalent to opening up a new track not only for Himalaya, but also for the entire Silicon Valley Internet companies.

Another most important point is that the performance of the Himalaya platform shows that the Internet industry can really make dollars. Whether for Internet companies or for practitioners, it is equivalent to a bowl of rice that can be eaten, not a pie!

"We can't wait any longer. Go talk to Li right now!"

Also at Netscape's headquarters in Silicon Valley, Jim Clark couldn't help himself. He knew very well that after today's report came out, Himalaya Radio would probably be completely "detonated"!

……

When the news came out on ABC TV, there was another industry that was even more excited than the Internet industry.

Cheers were heard from the headquarters of companies in the computer parts industry, such as graphics cards, sound cards, and speakers. The more users of Himalaya Radio, the greater the demand for graphics cards and sound cards, and these manufacturers selling parts can also make more money. "Thank you Himalaya!"

In NVIDIA's office, after seeing the news on TV, Mr. Huang, the boss of Pi Dao Ke, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but express his sincere praise for Himalaya.

This year, the graphics card circle in America has entered a battle of the gods. As for NVIDIA, it is still just a younger brother at this time, and like ATI, they are both in trouble.

Nvidia is not at the point where it is against everyone, but artificial intelligence companies around the world are scrambling to buy computing power and graphics cards from it.

Nvidia is trying very hard to survive now. Otherwise, it would not have gone to Xiaomi's press conference to shout "Xiaomi is awesome" just to sell more mobile phone processors. In order to please domestic users, he even learned spoken Chinese after spending decades in America...

That was Nvidia about ten years later, with a market value of at least $450 billion. Although its market value combined with Tesla's is smaller than Xiaomi's valuation of $ billion, at least it doesn't have to worry about survival.

Nvidia is having a harder time now and may even not survive. The protagonists of the graphics card competition are S3, Trident, and 3DFX. Others include ATI, Zotac and a host of other large and small graphics card manufacturers. This industry is much more lively than that of processors.

Among all the graphics card brands, NVIDIA has some fame, but it is not the most famous one and is still losing money.

Himalaya Radio emerged and brought a large number of new graphics card orders. Trident, 3DFX and others looked down on these new scattered orders, and their graphics cards were all priced at more than two hundred US dollars, and ordinary non-gaming users would not buy such expensive graphics cards.

NVIDIA and other small and medium-sized graphics card manufacturers seized the opportunity and reaped the benefits. Although they didn't say how much they earned, at least they made some money back. This is why Mr. Huang thanked Himalaya Radio!
After ABC TV reported the news, American technology media such as Silicon Valley Daily and San Jose Mercury News also followed suit. The Wall Street Journal's report made Himalaya Radio appear in front of countless people in America!

“Himalaya Radio has created a new field in the Internet industry. It allows users to experience more interactivity on the Internet and allows creators to earn income through the Internet. This is currently the Internet platform that is most closely connected to the real world!

Several Wall Street institutions, Silicon Valley venture capital firms, and media companies have all expressed their willingness to cooperate or invest in Himalaya Internet Radio!"

After the Wall Street Journal, all media outlets in America, including newspapers, magazines, and television stations, began to report extensively. In addition, some media outlets affiliated with Himalaya also began to make efforts. However, the focus of the reports was on Jolly Jins and Logan receiving millions of dollars in salaries, Hainam signing a contract with a record company, Carlos' poems being published by a publishing house, etc.

However, different people have different reactions when seeing the news on Himalaya!

Industries like technology, the Internet, Wall Street investment banks, and Silicon Valley venture capital have seen the emergence of a new track.

As for more talented Americans and ordinary people, what they see in the reports are words like millions of dollars, American dream, overnight fame, and financial freedom.

Especially the latest report about Hainam reported by the media. In the photo, he just got out of a car, with a big gold chain around his neck and a woman in his arms. There were younger brothers opening the door and several more providing security. This really stimulated countless people in the African-American slum communities!

"Himalaya Radio gained over 10.7 new users in a single day!"

"During the evening peak period, Himalaya Radio's website crashed twice due to excessive traffic!"

“Himalaya Radio announced the addition of new servers to ensure the normal operation of the website!”

"In three days, more than 5100 people joined Himalaya Radio to start podcast programs, including NBA stars, Hollywood stars, etc. In addition, various singers such as rappers released more than 1400 songs and 589 poems on Himalaya Radio!"

"The number of followers of Himalaya Radio Jori Sports has exceeded 2 million, and Jori Kings has become the person with the most followers on the global Internet platform!"

"Hainamu held his first offline concert in a nightclub, with more than 4,000 people attending. Due to the large number of people, the entire street was crowded, so Hainamu suspended the offline concert midway!"

"An author who became famous with one book and has a presence on Himalaya has had his novel signed by a publishing company and received a signing fee of $90,000!"

"Himalaya Radio announced that it will launch websites in Canada, England and other English-speaking regions in June. More than 13% of the new users of Himalaya Radio come from overseas users!"

All of a sudden, all kinds of news related to the Himalayas, both true and false, began to be reported, some of which were true, while others were exaggerated.

It is indeed true for Hainam. He has now become the pride of African Americans. Although he has not released a single song, his fame is catching up with that of many veteran rap predecessors.

Hainam went to the nightclub to make some money, but he underestimated his current fame. After the nightclub spread the news, the whole street was crowded with people from Chicago and other places. More and more people gathered, and for safety reasons, Hainam had to leave halfway.

But after this incident, the number of people who envied Hainam increased a hundredfold. Through this incident, he proved his influence. Is he still worried about not having the opportunity to make money by performing in other places in the future?

Also influenced by Hainam, a large number of singers of all kinds who wanted to become famous flocked to Himalaya Radio like crazy, hoping to become famous with a song, most of them were rap singers.

As for that, uploading your own audio book to Himalaya Radio, and then being picked up by a publishing company and becoming famous with one book, it's... a little bit exaggerated, but it doesn't stop the story from being attractive. As soon as the news in the form of a short essay came out, a large number of talented young artists who felt they were not appreciated ran to Himalaya Radio to look for opportunities!
Himalaya Radio has once again updated its website. After opening the comment area and community functions, the activity of Himalaya Radio has once again increased to an epic level!
Although there are disputes and verbal battles in the comment section, it does provide a place for users to communicate with each other.

The community circle function is activated by application by the contracted podcast creators. Once activated, it allows people with the same hobbies and interests to gather together. Toni's community circle is mainly composed of housewives. After the opening of Jory Kings' community, of course, the people who flocked in were the flat-Earth believers, not only from America, but also from old Europe, Brazil and other places. Jory is only one step away from becoming the leader of the flat-Earth theory!

As the number of clicks and activity of Himalaya Radio users increased, the number of registered users was of course also increasing. Just as the Silicon Valley Internet industry was inquiring about the number of Himalaya Radio users, Himalaya Radio itself issued an announcement.

"The number of Himalaya Radio users worldwide has officially exceeded 3.14 million, of which 2.7 million are from America, 380,000 are from Canada, North America, old Europe, South America, etc., and the rest are from inland areas and Hong Kong cities!"

When Himalaya Radio made this announcement, Silicon Valley was speechless for a while. Even those who had expected Himalaya Radio to grow so fast did not expect it to be so violent and gain so many users as easily as cutting melons and vegetables!

"The Himalaya Internet Radio, developed by my country's Hanxi Feiyan Technology, has officially exceeded the three million mark in overseas markets such as the United States, becoming one of the companies with the largest number of Internet users in the world!

The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Information Industry and other departments have expressed their support for the development of the domestic Internet industry..."

When the news reached China and was first reported by the central media, domestic Internet companies such as Yinghaiwei, which were still groping in the dark, were all confused, and then they were in an uproar.

Even other technology companies that are not in the Internet industry were shocked when they saw this news, especially the computer industry. There are only tens of thousands of computer users in China, but Himalaya Radio has 3 million computer users in America and overseas. They are overwhelmed.

“Himalaya Radio, the valuation may exceed 800 million US dollars!”

Along with this news, there was also a rumor about the valuation of Himalaya Radio. It is not known whether the valuation of US$800 million is true or not, but on Tianya Forum and a number of BBS forums, the rumor is very detailed and there are also solemn claims that Silicon Valley venture capital, Wall Street institutions and large American companies all want to invest in Himalaya Radio.

Dongling Hi-Tech and Feiyan Technology have successively issued statements proving that Li Dongling and Yao Luoying are indeed in America at the moment, which inevitably makes people imagine more.

These domestic companies may not understand the Internet, but they understand the US dollar. Almost overnight, the term "Internet" has become popular in China. When companies hold meetings and gatherings, they always mention the Internet, otherwise they will feel like they are out of date.

Yinghaiwei and several other domestic Internet companies became extremely popular overnight, and a large number of investors rushed to Yinghaiwei, wanting to discuss cooperation and invest in it.

This is the case with Yinghaiwei, not to mention Tianya Forum, which has the same parent company as Feiyan Technology, and China's Himalaya Radio. All kinds of media have simply blocked the door.

……

Larson rushed to San Jose from New York. Seeing the media reporters gathered downstairs of Himalaya Silicon Valley's office and the investors who kept coming from Silicon Valley and Wall Street, Larson's steps became lighter. He seemed to have seen huge amounts of dollars pouring towards him.
