"Mr. Walker, the middle- and upper-class families in Hong Kong have basically popularized computers, and with the emergence of Internet cafes, the low-income middle- and lower-class people have also obtained the opportunity to use computers cheaply. Among them, the number of netizens who regularly surf the Internet has reached 600,000. It accounts for nearly one-tenth of Hong Kong's total population.

Internet access is gradually becoming a part of Hong Kong people's daily life, and Voice of Asia, as Hong Kong's largest comprehensive portal information website, has become the most important position for Hong Kong netizens to surf the Internet. Our advertising value is also increasingly being recognized by mainstream customers

The Coca-Cola Company just signed us for a one-year page display ad. The Hong Kong agent of Pingzhi Auto, Jardine Motors, has negotiated with our advertising contract, and has also entered the final review and signing stage. Our website has initially begun to form self-hematopoietic capabilities.”

Walker was actively thinking while listening to the introduction of the beautiful voice of Asia operations director beside him. The president of the company obviously did not pay any attention to the dazzling beauty in the workplace next to him.

Although the Voice of Asia website is not yet profitable, its advertising revenue has grown rapidly. Internet development in Hong Kong is a special case in the world. Active exploration of commercialization has begun here in advance, and it has obviously achieved no small achievements.

For example, the credibility and brand value of the Voice of Asia website have gradually begun to be recognized by the mainstream business community. The Pingzhi Automobile among the Hong Kong population is that Mercedes-Benz is a mid-to-high-end car brand from Germany. When its agents conduct advertising and marketing, they will strictly screen their partners. Just like those really famous and powerful doctors, even if they open private clinics, they will never choose to post psoriasis advertisements on roadside telephone poles to promote themselves.

The example of Hong Kong also proves that Internet commercialization is a promising thing. After all, Hong Kong only has a population of five or six million, and its development potential is inherently insufficient. The United States has a population of 200 million. Once the Internet industry starts, the energy it will explode is far beyond what Hong Kong can match.

When Walker thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed. What a huge blue ocean this is. The basic communication facilities are already in the stage of transition from cables to optical cables. However, because optical fibers are new technologies and expensive to manufacture, the pace of replacement by U.S. telecom operators is not fast.

Previously, Tutu challenged AT&T Bell's dominant position in the US telephone market through technological leadership, so the investment in optical fiber was relatively bold. Walker's trip to Hong Kong this time obviously gave him a deeper understanding of the significance of optical fiber technology.

As his boss Li Xuan said yesterday, the Internet really has the potential to completely change the way humans communicate information. Walker's trip to Hong Kong can be said to have given himself a shot in the arm. He is convinced that the company's strategy of deploying fiber optic networks is completely correct. It can not only play a huge role in the field of telephony, but also allow the company to take the lead in the future Internet era. The acquisition of aol AOL's network access business has also become urgent for the company.

And it is obvious that Walker is not the only smart person. Si can only be regarded as a peripheral enterprise in the Oriental Group. Even it has keenly sensed the new opportunities brought by the Internet, and hopes to complete the advance layout through the acquisition of aol company. Other companies in the Oriental Group are naturally even less likely to remain indifferent.

After the World Wide Web Technology Group under the Eastern Research Institute successfully formulated the technical standards of the World Wide Web, Li Xuan allocated part of the technical backbone from it and established a company called eastgraphi, hoping to acquire aol AOL. The hospital sent a takeover offer, hoping to fully acquire their egb company. aol is definitely the most Internet-minded company in the entire Oriental Group, but the Oriental Research Institute has actually received more than one quotation for egb.

Dongfang System Software Company and Dongfang Commercial Software Company also issued a motion to acquire egb company wholly. In order to curb the disease of large companies, Li Xuan gave full autonomy to each subsidiary of the Oriental Group. Therefore, although everyone is an industry under the name of Li Xuan, they all operate in accordance with formal business processes.

"Jonathan doesn't seem to be having a good time recently." Li Xuan hung an earthworm on the hook, and then threw the rod out again. She just caught a small crucian carp one inch long.

"Haha, the shareholders are still putting a lot of pressure on him." He Guoyuan smiled heartily.

The two were fishing in a pond in Tianshuiwei, and the Jonathan they were talking about took over from He Guoyuan as Dongfang System Software Company, and Dongfang Group's shareholding in Dongfang System Software Company continued to decline. After Dongfang System Software Co., Ltd. completed its listing on Nasdaq, Dongfang Group's shareholding has been diluted to only 325.

Of course, Dongfang Group is still the largest shareholder, holding more shares than the second largest company, ib35. Moreover, Dongfang Group has also firmly held most of the management positions in Dongfang System Software Company.

However, it was nominated by the former chairman and company of Eastern System Software Company.

With the full popularization of personal computers in the United States, as the operating system of the human-computer communication interface, its special and important position has become more and more prominent. If it weren't for Li Xuan's strong backstage in American politics, and he voluntarily gave up his absolute controlling stake, the competitors would have been able to make the Oriental Group unable to eat and go on the grounds of national security alone.

You must know that the east operating system of Dongfang System Software Co., Ltd. has almost completely monopolized the personal computer operating system market. The huge cash flow and profit margin generated by it makes the software company not short of money at all, and there is no need for listing and financing.

However, Li Xuan still chose to list Dongfang System Software on Nasdaq and become a public company supervised by investors and the market. And Li Xuan voluntarily gave up the company this time.

After the Eastern System Software Company showed more and more powerful ability to attract money, IB never gave up the idea of ​​annexing it. Especially after Dongfang Group voluntarily gave up its absolute control, it made IB see the possibility of practical operation.

It's just that Li Xuan is not so stupid. When Dongfang Group introduced IB as a new shareholder of Dongfang System Software Company, it forced the other party to accept a series of poison pill terms to prevent IB from launching a surprise acquisition of the new company. But if you want to completely dispel the unreasonable thinking of ib company, you must let public investors who hold nearly 45 shares of the company have confidence in ib.

The market share of Dongfang System Software in the field of personal operating systems has exceeded 95%, and it has almost reached its peak, and it is impossible to make any further breakthroughs. If the management of the company wants to continue to boost the company's performance, it must make breakthroughs in other areas, such as enterprise-level server operating systems.

The rise of workstation computers and servers was largely achieved by eroding the original minicomputer and midrange market. The original computer giants like IB have undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow in this round of computer technology revolution.

Compared with the personal computer industry, which has been completely dominated by the "2e alliance" of the processor and east operating system from the very beginning, the market competition of enterprise-level server computers is much more intense and chaotic. Although the Oriental Research Institute has also launched the PS structure early, giant companies like IB naturally cannot tolerate other companies encroaching on their own territory.

With their deep technical accumulation, they are not busy catching up at all. And in the field of processor operating systems, Li Xuan's room for opening his golden fingers is undoubtedly much smaller.

From the very beginning, Dongfang System Software chose to purchase the copyright of the Unix system from Berkeley University and develop it by itself. Although the Unix system is very classic, it has been extended to countless versions since it was born in at&t Bell's laboratory in 970.

And this undoubtedly makes the competition in the entire server operating system field extremely chaotic and fierce. However, Dongfang System Software still has a lot of advantages, because it has an absolute monopoly in the field of personal computer operating systems. When a company chooses to build its own local area network, it is impossible to choose one operating system for the microcomputer and another operating system for the server. Dongfang System Software Company is already invincible by virtue of only one compatibility advantage.

The new version eastunix operating system recently launched by Eastern System Software has begun to support mainframe systems. And this is absolutely untouchable for IB. It can give up the personal market and even the minicomputer market, but the mainframe is definitely the core profit source of IB. Once this field is also broken through, IB may face a situation of life and death~www.readwn.com~ Of course, the mainframe market and the ordinary computer market have completely different characteristics. Its special customer needs determine the mainframe, and it is not necessarily the pursuit of the most advanced technology , and pay more attention to technical stability. For example, the stability of an operating system reaches 999, and it crashes once every 00 days on average. If it is a personal computer, users can fully accept it, but if it is a user like a bank, even if it crashes once every three years, it will kill them.

Li Xuan never expected that Dongfang System Software Co., Ltd. would be able to take time out of the IB company's mouth all at once, but Dongfang System Software Co., Ltd.'s next strategy will undoubtedly pose a huge threat to IB.

Microsoft in another time and space, after achieving great success in the personal operating system, turned its attention to Jonathan, who was nominated by the offi company, although it caused a lot of friction with the system software company.

The best way to solve this kind of struggle is naturally mergers and acquisitions, but Li Xuan and Dongfang Group have blocked this road ahead of time. And if Jonathan can't show enough convincing performance, then Li Xuan just has an excuse to discredit IB and completely lose the goodwill of other shareholders. Therefore, Li Xuan's move can be said to be based on retreat, which will definitely make this Mr. Jonathan very uncomfortable.

Of course, Jonathan can be launched by IB as a **** to compete with Dongfang Group for the control of Dongfang System Software Company, his ability is definitely beyond doubt. For example, he is also keenly aware of the value of the "navigator" browser. In the context of the popularity of Internet propositions, Jonathan also hopes to poke the g-point of Wall Street investors through some actions, so as to make the stock price trend better.
