Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1231 Industry Trends
No matter how good the friendship is, there can't be many such trainings, mainly because the time schedule does not allow it.

Therefore, after the first class, Zhou Zhi added a set of projection equipment on the fourth floor of the film and television hall to broadcast etiquette courses every night and organized the girls of the etiquette team to practice there.

In the next week, the transformation in the computing center was extremely busy, and Zhou Zhi was also extremely busy.

As the largest non-staple food company in Sichuan, participating in the Food and Wine Fair is not that simple.

Fortunately, Manzhou already had an old Youtiao customer from the Food and Wine Association, and that was Laojiao Winery.

Laojiao Winery has been officially listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. I wonder if it is due to the heavy involvement of AXA Fund, but it is actually earlier than what Zhou Zhi experienced in the previous life.

The lead underwriter of the listing has also become Bank of China Shu Province Trust and Investment Company. The underwriting method is balance underwriting. The issuance price is 8000 yuan. The total share capital before the IPO is more than 2000 million shares. After the IPO, the total share capital is just over 2000 million shares. The actual More than [-] million shares were issued, raising a total of more than [-] million yuan.

This is undoubtedly a very successful listing, and the more than 2000 million yuan is only part of the public offering. In addition to the "strategic partner" shareholders introduced during the previous shareholding reform, such as AXA Fund, Laojiao Wine The factory has raised a total of more than [-] million yuan.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but admire the actuarial ability of Li Laosan Hongsheng Accounting Firm. He said that AXA's assets would surge between 7000 million and 8000 million due to the listing of Laojiao Winery. As a result, converted according to the issue price, it turned out to be [-] million to [-] million. More than [-] million.

This is a terrible amount of wealth. Although it only exists on the books, if Zhou Zhi is anxious to cash it out, he can turn it into disposable funds through many short-term financial means such as mortgages.

However, Zhou Zhi has already become a billionaire on paper, mainly from overseas investment income, because the information technology companies invested by AXA Fund overseas have finally experienced an eye-catching "big market".

Such a big market situation attracts capital from all over the world, and those who get the most fat are the crocodiles who have already sunk to the bottom of the lake and have already completed their layout.

AXA Fund, which owns a large amount of equity capital of high-tech information companies, does not even need to sell stocks. Even through "bond leasing", that is, lending stocks to companies that market financial derivatives, it can reap a considerable sum of "bonds." Interest".

To put it another way, AXA Fund has entered the "holding period" from the "acquisition period". In addition to operating some derivatives with stable returns, the book income brought by the stock increase alone is a terrible figure.

The creation of rich people is often so boring.

Metcalfe, the inventor of Ethernet, once summarized a law for the development of the Internet, called Metcalfe's law.

The general meaning is that users are king, and the value of the network is proportional to the square of the number of users in the network.

Explained from the principle of topology, that is, two users can only establish one connection, three users can establish three connections, four users, the connections will become six, five users can establish ten connections, and six users can establish There are fifteen connections…

When the number of users reaches [-], the number of connections will reach [-].

The growth rate of connections is far greater than the growth rate of users. More connections will attract more users, just like a snowball, it will get bigger and bigger. Therefore, the growth rate of the entire Internet value is almost exponential. of.

The growth rate of the high-tech industry is actually quite similar to that of the Internet. However, this "quasi-exponential" growth comes from the "suction" before the market is saturated and is exclusive to information equipment. All previous industrial products are not Possess the ability to iterate rapidly.

From 1990 to 15.00, the proportion of American households with computers increased from 15.00% to 30.00%. In the next few years, according to estimates from AXA Fund, the growth rate of computers in the United States will double again, from [-]% to more than [-]%.

The next Internet industry will be even more terrifying.

In the United States, an industry with 5000 million users will become a big industry. To reach this number, radios have taken nearly 40 years, televisions have taken 13 years, computers have taken eight to ten years, and the Internet will be further compressed to Four years!

In the past, it took 40 years to develop a mature market scale, but now it can be shortened ten times. This is the truth of the famous saying "Standing on the wind, even pigs can fly."

Therefore, all the gains made by AXA Fund from international high-tech companies were completely lost by Li Laosan into the more emerging Internet industry. Provided angel funding to a series of Internet companies to help them incubate.

AXA Fund, which found its second pot of gold from high-tech information companies, follows the information technology industry very closely.

This is also the unique advantage of AXA Fund. Firstly, because the boss of the Li family is an expert in information technology think tanks in the United States. Secondly, Zhou Zhi is the golden finger.

Since Dr. Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the Internet, proposed the concept of the World Wide Web in [-], and the formation of the HTTP protocol, users have been able to obtain the resources of another computer through software and parse them in the correct way.

Such software is called a "browser", but the browser's initial appearance was completely different from what people would be familiar with in later generations. It was just a command line tool that could be used to enter commands, without a convenient interface or user-friendliness. interaction, and there is no feedback such as pictures.

It is just an input box. After entering text, the text result is returned, nothing more.

But the highway is already there, and then an "address book" is needed for everyone to "address", which requires another important innovation-DNS, that is, the domain name system.

The domain name system can be roughly understood as a guidepost on the information highway, allowing the user's computer to find the corresponding website based on the entered domain name.

At this point, basically all the application foundations for the Internet are already in place.

There are several things that need to be done now. The first is to improve the user experience and develop a web browser with a graphical interface.

Second, I need a search engine, just like a phone book. I just need to enter the index words and I can find a list of links to the information I want.

Third, they are content providers that provide content for the Internet, including portal websites, entertainment websites, business websites, etc.

Based on this idea, Zhou Zhi selected Netscape as a browser, Google as a search engine, Amazon and Ebay as a content maker, and those that provide basic services from the list of potential Internet giant companies provided by the Li family boss. Akamai, and Qualcomm, which provides equipment.

What’s funny is that these lucky people who are famous in the industry in later generations are still babies and toddlers waiting to be fed. Among all these companies, Qualcomm is slightly better, and it can be regarded as a "long-standing" company that has been established for ten years.
