Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.
Chapter 75 New Growth Points
Every technological advancement is accompanied by hardware innovation and consumer upgrades; driven by this profit motive, hardware and software manufacturers will gradually reach a tacit understanding to jointly promote the upgrading of both hardware and software.
In its previous press release, WINOS 92 added more support for audio, video, and images, while also becoming backward compatible with previous MS systems, making it more popular with the public.
It adds APIs that support multimedia, allowing more software vendors to participate in multimedia development.
Zhang San, on the other hand, got a computer with the latest hardware and system, but it still had that old CRT monitor.
"Hey, you guys did a great job." Zhang San held the phone and chatted with John, who was in North America, about the new system.
John's laughter rang out as he said, "This update is very significant, and it has greatly satisfied our shareholders. They will be updating the hardware even faster to support our current system."
"The current version is too simplistic, which is detrimental to our market dominance; the next version, after the update, will show them our dominance."
John didn't understand what Zhang San was saying, but he knew that his boss had some kind of inspiration, but he wouldn't ask. That was just how it was.
As a history enthusiast, he strives to advance history as much as possible without altering it.
Besides being busy with company matters, he started developing new software on his new computer: a browser.
This year will be the first year of the Internet, and broadband networks will be officially commercialized; therefore, a software appeared in Zhang San's mind: browser software.
Zhang San had witnessed the competition between Microsoft and Netscape back then. For some unknown reason, Netscape actually released the Netscape Navigator browser for free, which he found completely un-American.
Such general-purpose software naturally had to be charged, and charged hefty fees at that; if Netscape had charged for this software back then, the competition with Microsoft would have been very different.
Zhang San started writing five versions of the browser, and he wanted to release all five versions of the browser simultaneously worldwide. As for why?
Of course, they don't want to be judged as having a monopoly. With five companies owning a browser, how could they be judged as having a monopoly?
"Boss, there's an opening ceremony for Yong'an Insurance at noon, and another event will be held at the same time. We need your participation."
In his office, he received a notification from his secretary. Zhang San stopped what he was doing and looked at his secretary.
"Boss, it's about a charity event, a public welfare activity initiated by Yong An Insurance, with many celebrities participating."
Zhang San thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I understand." Zhang San watched his secretary leave. His secretary seemed to know that her boss was watching her, and she swayed gracefully.
This secretary... a secretary who doesn't want to sleep with her boss isn't a good HR person...
After his secretary closed the door, he encrypted the code he had written, saved it on five floppy disks, and then put them in the safe.
He disliked floppy disks; they often broke down and had small capacities. Thinking of the yet-to-be-released USB flash drives, he sighed.
As the boss of New Era Financial Group, there are some events that are unavoidable. Today is the opening day of Yong An Insurance. Unlike the opening of other companies, Yong An Insurance must be grand, large, and have a lot of people. Moreover, Zhang San has allocated a building to Yong An Insurance Company and renamed it Yong An Insurance.
If you don't have a grand enough presence, people will think you're poor! Who will invest in you then? If you can't even guarantee your own future, how can you guarantee others'?
The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began today. Guests walked onto the stage one by one, smiling and waving to the company employees and reporters present.
These are all routines; just follow the procedure. Zhang San arrived, but he was overshadowed by the celebrities. Although Zhang San is good-looking, it doesn't mean he received the same attention as the celebrities.
The host stepped onto the stage, warmly introduced the guests, and welcomed them.
Next, the hostesses approached the guests with ribbons and scissors, handing the scissors to Zhang San of New Era Financial and his two supervisors, as well as the management of Yong'an Insurance, and of course, the celebrities. Everyone accepted the scissors, ready to cut the ribbon for the new project.
At the host's command, the guests simultaneously cut the ribbons, eliciting enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience. The falling ribbons symbolized the official opening of Yong'an Insurance.
The general manager of Yong'an Insurance stepped forward, exchanged a few words with him, and then announced the establishment of a foundation dedicated to caring for children in impoverished areas.
After an hour of work, the ceremony finally ended. Zhang San saw a celebrity there, someone he recognized but who didn't recognize him.
After the ceremony, there was a simple buffet-style reception; the food was, of course, expensive, reflecting the overall high cost.
After exchanging pleasantries with those people, Zhang San walked towards the celebrity he recognized.
"Hello, Ms. Zhou, I'm your fan."
Seeing a young man approach her, Zhou Huimin didn't recognize him, but she had just seen him chatting happily with the management team, and those people seemed to respect him a lot.
Hello, I don't know you.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Stephen, and I'm a screenwriter and producer." Zhang San felt good about himself, but that didn't mean the person opposite him liked him; they still watched Zhang San's performance with an awkward but polite smile.
"Hello, Stephen, excuse me for a moment."
Zhang San watched her leave with a smile. This is ridiculous! You said you liked talented people? Turns out it was all a lie.
"Boss, would you like me to make an appointment with her for you?" A manager from Yong An Insurance walked over from not far away, speaking in a somewhat obsequious manner.
Zhang San glanced at him and said, "Forget it, let's go over there." Being rejected by TM in this situation was already embarrassing, and having to ask a subordinate to stand up for him made him feel like he was losing face.
After leaving, Zhou Huimin moved into the circle of other celebrities.
"Amin, do you know that handsome guy from earlier?" A senior figure in the industry asked casually when he saw her chatting with Zhang San.
Zhou Huimin clearly disliked Zhang San, who had just approached her, and casually said, "He said he was my fan, and that he was a screenwriter and producer."
Someone nearby said, "Amin, are you mistaken? There are no screenwriters or producers here. This is a commercial event, a show."
"But……"
Someone else said, "I just saw that handsome guy chatting happily with a senior executive from New Era Financial. Is he someone from New Era Financial?"
"This company has a very powerful background. I heard it's a North American enterprise, and they're also the ones operating the cinema business of MCA Universal Hong Kong."
"Yong An Real Estate bought 200 hectares of land on Lantau Island. I heard they're going to film a giant ship and a Jurassic dinosaur park."
"That New World movie, you guys..."
Zhou Huimin felt that the young man must be one of their higher-ups, and she felt as if she had offended someone.
