In this era, most users are defenseless against email advertisements.

Mail order sales, telephone sales and other models are already very popular in Europe and the United States. That is to say, a lot of advertising paper is stuffed into your mailbox at home. Or the salesperson directly calls your home phone number. And their home phone number is usually listed in the Yellow Pages.

Just put it in a phone booth and let people browse it casually. I don't think that mailing address, home phone number, etc. are personal privacy at all.

It wasn't until spam started to spread all of a sudden that it became so overwhelming? This caused public outrage and was slowly banned by law.

Therefore, after receiving this email advertisement, there were quite a few people who came to inquire, which exhausted Elna, the account manager, to death. Fortunately, we urgently recruited ten new telephone girls, and we managed to withstand this wave of inquiries.

wave.

Los Angeles has never been short of girls with such beautiful looks and soft voices. Here are all types of girls from all over the world who dream of becoming stars. Therefore, almost all of these phone girls have reached the level of professional voice actors. And their salaries are not high.

, slightly higher than working as a temporary worker in a restaurant.

Where is it like Silicon Valley later, where customer service is outsourced to Asan? The accent of the girl on the phone has a strong curry flavor. Absolutely bad review!

As for the sales status of Parallel Line? It’s not satisfactory!

After all, there is a free mosaic browser, and where did the parallel line come from? I had never heard of it before.

So most people are waiting and watching, at most downloading a free trial version. Only a few big investors have paid to buy a few high-quality versions...

Here, you can see the disadvantages of being low-key. Since Parallel has not blended into the circles of Silicon Valley, it had no reputation at the beginning.

But on the other hand, the unexpected appearance of parallel lines brings about the butterfly effect.

We should all know that in the history of computer IT development, the first generation of Big Mac was Wangan Computer.

Perhaps people nowadays have rarely heard of Mr. Wang An, the former richest man in China. But back then, this old man was a myth. In the field of computers, he almost single-handedly defeated the world.

It is because of the unique diligent and frugal character of the Chinese that Wangan Computer has launched a full-scale attack on both hardware and software and overwhelmed all its competitors.

It's a pity that the eldest son of the tiger father and the successor was too unsatisfactory and believed that personal computers had no future, which eventually led to the death of Wang An's computers.

But having said that, the great achievement of one man challenging the whole world is unprecedented and probably unprecedented. Therefore, Mr. Wang An is still worthy of admiration even though he is defeated.

To put it more clearly, I misjudged the trend of personal computers, and Wang An Computer directly received the box lunch.

Also because of the pressure on personal computers, new companies such as IBM and Apple emerged. Later, because of Apple's constant internal friction, even the founder Steve Jobs was kicked out of the company, so IBM became a dominant company and became

A new generation of Big Mac.

However, the good times did not last long. Since hardware has always been king before, the trend of software being king has arrived!

This needs no further introduction. Microsoft has become the giant of this period with its Windows operating system.

But now the trend is coming again, that is, the Internet era. The first thing that appeared was the browser!

Of course, the smartphone era came later, and Apple finally turned around and became a giant again. What is the latest metaverse era? The era of artificial intelligence? Can it really be realized? Only God knows!

Logically speaking, what is about to emerge now is the Internet era, and outlets like browsers should be enthusiastically pursued, right?

Actually it’s not. The current trend in Silicon Valley is interactive TV! Ahem. Who would be interested in a small software like a browser?

Therefore, no one can predict the future, unless he is a reborn idiot! (Laughing and crying)

This has led to the fact that the previous mosaic browsers, including the newly emerged parallel line browsers, did not attract the slightest attention from the outside world, and there was no need to talk about it being taken seriously.

Everyone should know that programmers are a group of creatures with big imaginations. They have developed a lot of messy little software for their own personal hobbies. And most of them are very nonsensical and have no market value at all. Some of them have no market value at all.

Valuable patents have also been acquired. In fact, the skyscraper of computer IT was built brick by brick with this kind of imagination.

However, without actually using it, who knows whether your small software has market value?

Just like the DOS system back then, the general meaning of its name - no idiot would use this crap!

So, Gary Kildare, the creator of DOS, how much did he despise this small software? He didn’t think it was anything great at all. Who would have thought that the DOS system would become famous later? And Microsoft only used it

After spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy the DOS patent, how much money did you make in the end?

Therefore, today's browsers are facing the same situation - nothing more than the emergence of a small software with great imagination!

However, there is no shortage of discerning people in this world.

Jim Clark, one of the founders of Netscape. He immediately contacted Andreessen, the inventor of the mosaic browser, and spent $5 million in start-up funds to jointly establish a new high-tech company——

Netscape.

Different from the original history, due to the emergence of parallel browser, the establishment of Netscape was advanced half a year.

And Netscape has also changed its development strategy. It is not like Netscape in the original history, which recruited a whole team and developed it for a full year, trying to be as perfect as possible, and finally came up with a complete version.

Netscape browser.

What Clark and Anderson are pursuing now is speed!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So Netscape is preparing to develop the Netscape 1.0 browser based on the mosaic browser in no more than two months. First, solve the competition.

Question. The full version of the browser can be developed slowly in the future.

The purpose is to prepare to compete with parallel lines for market share...

…

As for what happened in Silicon Valley, including the early establishment of Netscape, Li Yuan, who was far away in Hong Kong, knew nothing about it.

In fact, Li Yuan couldn't even care about parallel lines for the time being.

Because the implementation of the negative 20 down payment immediately brought a rolling cash flow to Han Palace Bank. The surge was so intense that Li Yuan himself was caught off guard...

"Young Master Yuan, can you do me a favor? Your bank offers a buy-one-get-two-free mortgage, so why don't you give me a chance?" Tie Zhidong handed over a cigarette and took the initiative to light it for Li Yuan.

But Li Yuan didn't understand Tie Zhidong's meaning. What chance could he give? This couldn't be illegal, otherwise what's the difference between giving money away for free?

Tie Zhidong smiled and explained: "Young Master Yuan, many of my brothers own ancestral houses. If you buy one get two free, it means three houses. There were many old forty-nine people who followed me back then. These younger brothers are older.

, you can let them go to Africa to sell medicine. After a few years of running, the loan will definitely be paid off. Then I will give them a unit for retirement, as I am an elder. The remaining unit will be taken from my ancestral home.

If you split it in half, they will get it for free. How about it? There is no risk at all here?"

Li Yuan laughed dumbly, can he still do this?

But having said that, this is also a kind of resource integration. Only someone like Tie Zhidong can do it.

Otherwise, even if those young and Dangerous young people have their ancestral homes, they will not be eligible for mortgage loans at all. To put it more seriously, even if they are given a loan, they will not be able to repay it.

On the contrary, after such a saucy operation, the result is that everyone is happy and everyone can get benefits. And the bank does not care, this is a normal commercial loan.

"Brother Dong, they don't have old savings accounts, right?"

"Haha. How can those bad guys save money in the bank if their pockets are cleaner than their buttocks?"

"That's okay. I'll arrange someone for you." Li Yuan made an internal call and called Wu Jierui over, "Brother Dong, the person will be here soon. Hey, I heard that your medicine sales are very good these few times.

, are you interested in setting up a pharmaceutical factory in the mainland?"

Tie Zhidong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If you open a pharmaceutical factory with my status, will you believe the letter? I can check it three or five times a day, and sooner or later it will be closed down. Alas! I knew the power of the world when I was young, but now I want to go in the right direction.

It’s extremely difficult.”

】

Li Yuan understood that Tie Zhidong was a wise man in the world, and now he wanted to completely clear his identity.

But there are big bosses who want to clear their name every day, but how many can really do it? In addition to the Ma family of "Oriental Daily", there is also... Wanglaoji.

Yes! You read that right! Back then, Wong Lao Kat was also a gangster in Hong Kong. Later, when he got older, he washed his hands in a golden basin and sold herbal tea for nothing. Instead, he sold a nationally renowned brand?

What’s interesting is that back then, Wong Lo Kat was still the eldest brother of the Ma brothers? Their cousin seemed to be better at doing business? (Laughing and crying)

It is precisely because of the extremely high level of difficulty that Wang Laoji and the others are so famous. Therefore, Tie Zhidong's journey to clear his name can only depend on his own luck.

After chatting for a while, Wu Jierui led Tie Zhidong to go through the formalities. But after a while, Wu Jierui hurried back: "Young Master Yuan, Brother Dong's matter has been taken care of. But I have something

I want to report to you."

Li Yuan nodded: "Is it about the mortgage?"

"That's it. So far, we have signed 272 mortgage contracts. As long as we wait for the trial operation, we can issue the loans."

"You are doing very well." Li Yuan affirmed with a smile. Wu Jierui's performance was especially good. He has basically taken up a quarter of the mortgage loan.

"That's what it should be." Wu Jierui said modestly, then hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Young Master Yuan, what happened to Brother Dong just now inspired me. In fact, some of you are interested in our buy one, get two free mortgage plan.

A lot. But many customers do not have deposit accounts. Can we expand the scope of loan disbursement? And we only cooperate with the Huang family, but some customers are interested in other properties? Can we give up part of it to other real estate developers?"

Li Yuan immediately made a decision: "Others can do it if they want. The more cash flow the bank has, the better. You will be responsible for this matter and come up with a plan as soon as possible. Also, we are open for business, and other real estate developers are also welcome.

.”

"So where is the third lady...?"

"She won't have any objection. This is mine and Lisa's bank, not the Huang family's private bank."

"I understand, I understand." Jerry Wu nodded repeatedly, "If this is the case, I can guarantee that I can sign 500 more copies!"

"1,000 or 2,000 will do. Oh! Jerry, are our loans that popular?"

"Of course it is popular. I heard that other banks are also launching similar loans. Even housing prices have been supported, and people outside are calling us the bank's market leader."

"Haha. Lisa and I didn't think about it that much. We just need to survive the rush after the trial opening."

"If we sign a few hundred more loans, we will definitely be able to cope with the run. But our funds will become flooded, and we need to find good loan projects as soon as possible."
