Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

Netscape users were surprised to find that after opening the Netscape browser, a navigation page would automatically refresh.

Like all primitive websites, the navigation page was very rough, but without more choices, they were immediately attracted by the websites below the navigation.

Nearly twenty hyperlinks of various categories that could meet their various needs!

The most conspicuous one was Yahoo's search box, where they could search for all the information they wanted.

At that time, most search engines were directly copied by machines, which were very unfriendly to users. Often, they could not find what they wanted even after a lot of effort.

But Yahoo was different. Yang Zhiyuan, a doctoral student at Stanford, spent a lot of time every day manually editing search information, which was several times better than the performance of competitors' products.

In the newly budding search engine, there was no rival at all.

At the end of 1995, the first generation of Internet users finally experienced the joy of surfing the Internet with the help of Netscape navigation.

Clark and Andre were also extremely excited.

Not just because they were very happy to collect advertising fees.

Instead, they finally had a reason for people to continue using Netscape.

Background data showed that nearly 10 million users opened the Netscape navigation homepage every day, and the frequency of use was very high.

Moreover, the navigation page made it more convenient for users to surf the Internet, and the average time of using Netscape browser increased to 3 hours per person!

Such a terrifying retention made the founding team feel flustered.

This happiness came too suddenly.

"The advertising sponsors are also very satisfied with our traffic diversion service. Amazon's online transaction volume has reached a new high, and Yahoo's engine market share has reached a new high..."

The advertising sponsors originally joined Netscape's navigation alliance with a try-and-see attitude, but now they all feel the charm of the surge in page views.

The daily active users of Paramount's official website have exceeded 5 million.

"Mr. Wang, what should we do next?"

"The navigation page is still too rough, and lacks some timely news."

"Timely news?"

After spending a long time with Wang Lei, Clark can keep up with Wang Lei's leaping thinking. He knows that if some of the latest explosive news is added to the homepage, it will increase user retention and usage time again.

"But we are not doing radio and television news?"

"Haha, don't you have me? I developed a news page on Paramount's official website. You can directly link to Paramount News."

Clark nodded. This is indeed a win-win solution.

In this way, Netscape's homepage can use Paramount's latest timely news, and Paramount News can also get a lot of exposure and clicks.

In the tense atmosphere of Netscape and Microsoft's lawsuit, Netscape released its latest monthly financial report.

Netscape Browser has made a net profit for the first time since its establishment!

The profit is as high as 17 million US dollars.

This is not the most critical thing. Netscape's various data have explosive growth.

In just half a month, Netscape added 6 million users.

And the daily active users increased by an astonishing 230% year-on-year, and the usage time increased by more than 3 hours per person.

People felt that their memories were confused.

I clearly remember that Netscape Browser lost its only profit point not long ago, so how could it find a new way to make money so quickly?

Looking at the financial report, it seems to have made more money than before.

The growth in usage time and daily active users has made people see the potential of Netscape Browser.

Although Clark said nothing, this financial report slapped many people in the face.

Then the capital and investors panicked, as they had just sold Netscape's shares not long ago.

They immediately realized that this was a conspiracy brewed by Cayman Capital and the White Dragon Consortium.

They were also behind the badmouthing of Netscape and shouting that the wolf was coming, just to trick them into selling Netscape's shares.

At this time, it was too late for them to regret, because Netscape's stock ushered in the craziest week since its listing.

The stock market in the United States has no limit on price fluctuations, and Netscape's stock price has reached a new peak - $100 per share!

Netscape's stock price is like flying on an airplane. The increase in the price almost made many old men and women overexcited and admitted to the hospital.

This is when the investment fever in the United States is the craziest. Old men and women with pensions and various savings have become the main force of investment. They don't understand what the Internet and browsers are.

They only know that Netscape's stock price is rising the fastest and craziest, so just follow it and buy it.

As a result, Netscape's stock price has a trend of breaking through $120.

This craze reached its peak with the end of Warren Buffett, the stock god.

Buffett's private investment company is located in New York.Stock Exchange.

Without people knowing, his father already holds 5.13% of Netscape's shares.

In an interview with a financial reporter, Buffett also said with a smile:

"Netscape is becoming a new giant. In other words, Netscape already has all the potential to become an Internet giant. It only lacks time now."

Buffett was upset when he said this. He missed the best opportunity to invest in Netscape.

Netscape's free strategy made him smell a conspiracy. He just waited for a while. After seeing Netscape quietly launch the navigation homepage, he realized that it was the shareholders behind Netscape who were playing a big game.

He did not hesitate at all. Before seeing any financial reports, he let the company start to vigorously acquire Netscape's shares.

"Are you a little too flattering?"

Faced with the reporter's blunt question of "Did you take money?"

He responded with a straight face:

"Netscape's navigation homepage is revolutionizing the Internet, and it is challenging the monopoly of old technology giants such as Microsoft and AOL.

Let me put it in a way that you can understand. Even if Netscape's browser business fails, Netscape's navigation homepage will become an indispensable part of the lives of Internet users.

What's more, Netscape may not lose the browser war!"

His words caused Netscape's stock price to rise again.

Microsoft, which was caught in a monopoly lawsuit, faced a more troublesome problem:

The legislators of the House of Representatives of the United States of America tried to launch an investigation into Microsoft's monopoly in key areas.

Gates also received news in advance that the antitrust team might soon enter Microsoft!

Gates immediately gave a speech, saying that Microsoft did not form a monopoly in the global operating system market, and the 95 system only accounted for 20% of the global share.

After giving the speech, he quietly flew to the headquarters of Wang's Group in Hong Kong.

Wang Zhengyi was also caught off guard. He also knew the inside story of the lawsuit between Netscape and Microsoft. He didn't expect that his son would force the richest man to this point.
