Chapter 901 Netscape under the halo of Han Xuan
A week ago on August 9, Netscape, a search engine pioneer, went public.
It took only 16 months before it was founded, and Microsoft was able to go public seven years after its establishment. Netscape Company was one step ahead of Hope Technology and became the world's first listed network concept stock company.
In his previous life, its issuance price soared from $28 per share to $75, but in this life there was more destiny browser, and this company was destined to be a tragedy long before it went public.
Before Microsoft's IE browser can kill it, destiny will kill it first.
The last time Bill Gates met Han Xuan, he agreed to Han Xuan's request to preinstall Destiny browser in the indos1995 operating system.
And it used $250 million and all the technologies of IE browser under development, developers, to exchange for a 10% stake in Destiny browser.
IE Browser is just in its early stages of development, and it will take a long time to truly complete it. Indos 1995 will be launched this month, which is too late. Therefore, this transaction cannot be said to be a loss to Microsoft.
From another perspective, this also means that before the destiny subsidiary has been listed, it has actually sold a part of its shares with a market value of nearly 3 billion US dollars, which is so high!
Han Xuan only got $150 million, and the other $100 million was used for advertising and would also be preinstalled on the indos1995 desktop operating system.
After indos1995 is launched, it can gradually change gos private p-girl from software to website, which means that $100 million is just to implant O chat software into indos95.
It is estimated that only Han Xuan in the world can have such a big deal, or have such a forward-looking vision...
Now Netscape has a market share of only 8%, while Han Xuan’s destiny browser accounts for 4%, which is still rising.
Before Thanksgiving last year, Netscape's market share was as high as 87%, almost monopolizing the entire search engine market.
In just half a year, the situation changed drastically.
The issue price was $28 per share, and the closing price rose only a pitiful $3 to 3.
It can be seen how unfavorable the stock investors are, Netscape Company is shrouded in the halo of Han Xuan's hope technology company.
What’s even more pitiful is that on August 10, its stock price actually fell by $78. Stocks that fell on the second day of listing are rare in the entire Nasdaq market.
Faced with this poor guy, Han Xuan "kindly" prepared to go and discuss with Netscape with the acquisition of it after the stock price fell to freezing point.
Although most of Netscape's technology is not as advanced as Destiny, some patents can be used, and can also absorb the loyal users of Netscape Company.
Silicon Valley is now a paradise for entrepreneurs.
In Silicon Valley, the government's attitude towards corporate development is extremely relaxed and also provides Stanford University with a large number of research funds.
In the fields of land use, taxation and other fields, preferential policies are also provided to high-tech companies, encouraging and attracting entrepreneurs to start businesses and develop in Silicon Valley.
But some laws are not good news for Han Xuan.
For example, the US federal government has just introduced new rules, which have formulated tough antitrust policies to encourage enterprises to conduct equity financing, but there are strict regulations on enterprises that finance in the stock market.
o Chat software and gg shopping network, and even the paidpal that is being developed, have huge patent barriers, which are simply a nightmare that other developers cannot avoid. The road to creating the same type of software is extremely bumpy.
This approach has touched the edge of the US government's definition of the word "monopoly", but the government has not yet paid attention to the monopoly of Internet companies, so there is no investigation.
If this continues, hope Technology may become the second Microsoft in the near future and faces antitrust punishment.
Therefore, Han Xuan planned to list some companies early on to bring other investors to share their interests, and also find some allies for himself to increase the company's risk resistance.
However, he is trying to delay the arrival of the time to market.
Nowadays, every one more user of those software may have higher value when it goes public and will not sell high-quality shares to others at a cheap price.
Han Xuan has recently decided that as long as the US Department of Commerce does not send a final notice, he will continue to drag it on, which is quite shameless...
It was sunny today near Silicon Valley.
This important American region that has risen by high-tech development still has a clear blue sky, unlike the industrial cities in other places, which are always shrouded in a hazy layer of dust.
The helicopter flew past low and soon arrived at the city of Santa Clara, the location of hope technology and Nvidia.
When I came last time, most of the places here were just wasteland.
A large factory building has appeared now, which is used to make Blueberry phones and Nvidia's first mainstream multi-function chip female 1.
When Nvidia was just in its inception, several founders were poor and had almost nothing except for their enthusiasm for designing smart-core chipsets.
Han Xuan easily obtained the opportunity to invest in the company by Angel. After two capital injections, he successfully obtained 74% of the shares.
Recently, with the investment and construction of factories, he also cooperated with Italian SGS Microelectronics and French Thson Semiconductor to form SGS-Thomson Semiconductor Group, purchasing technology licenses from them, and investing a large amount of money. His shares rose to 1%.
Now Nvidia has officially begun to produce multi-function mainstream chips with independent patent rights.
The two gaming giants, Sega, Japan and Nintendo, both have attracted Nvidia's graphics cards and game chips. Although the order volume is not large, it is undoubtedly a good sign...
far away.
Huge hanging towers stand on the side of the bay near the Bay of San Francisco.
Hope Wind Candlelight Building is under construction in full swing. Four buildings have started construction at the same time and have now been built to almost five stories high.
They keep drawing out a lot of funds from the account of Snow Mountain Investment Company every day.
I felt distressed when I thought of this before. At this time, these buildings really appeared in front of me, and a sense of accomplishment suddenly emerged in Han Xuan's heart.
According to the expectations of Som Architectural Design Firm, it will take at least two and a half years to wait until it is built and renovated. We can only wait patiently for it to be completed in 1997.
The helicopter landed on the rooftop apron of the temporary office of the cylindrical Hope Technology Company. Christopher, the old executive of Charlie, was standing by the rooftop to greet the small boss... (To be continued.)
