In my memory, the network shock department often uses a standard title "XX or the biggest winner". Every time I see it, I only feel some strange malice. However, with the closing of the Olympic Games in Atlanta on August 4, many people began to look back and suddenly found that igrit might become the biggest winner.
Among other things, on the second day of the closing ceremony and the opening of the new week's stock market, the stock price of igrit rose by 3.3% on that day, from $439.1 billion at the opening to a high of $453.6 billion, which is enough to prove this.
It's not for no reason, of course.
On Monday, August 5, newspapers, television and Internet platforms controlled by westero system began to publicize a series of data traffic about the Internet platform owned by igrit during the Atlanta Olympic Games.
According to the statistics of igritte, during the 17 days of the Atlanta Olympic Games, 320 million Internet users around the world participated in the interaction of igritte's portals, online forums, social networks, video websites and other platforms on Olympic topics, accounting for 70% of the 460 million Internet users in the world at this stage.
As a result of this large-scale hot event, the network traffic of igrit's whole platform surged by 27% in more than two weeks.
Among them, Facebook social network and Youtube Video Platform in the process of the Olympic Games users and content growth are particularly eye-catching.
Although it will not be mentioned in the report, it is undeniable that the explosion on July 27 has completely overshadowed traditional TV and print media by making the network platform more immediate and rich in content.
At the weekend of the bombing, the visit volume of igritte's whole platform also reached a peak. Within 24 hours of the incident, more than 80 million directly related blog posts from all over the world emerged on Facebook social network. In the same 24 hours, 270000 directly related videos from Atlanta on YouTube video platform also increased.
Thus, the heat drives the flow, the flow contributes to the revenue, the revenue stimulates the market, and the market value drives the stock price.
The share price rose 3.3% in a single day, which increased the wealth of all shareholders of igrit by $14.5 billion in a single day.
It's just the igritts' share price growth.
As the leader of NASDAQ, the rise of igritte's share price drove the whole new technology sector. At the close of the day, the NASDAQ index also rushed to 4765 points. Although it failed to break through 5000 points at the end of July and the beginning of August as the market expected some time ago, it was not far behind.
At the same time, the total market value of all stocks on the Nasdaq market has reached $5.6 trillion.
although the whole world knows that the bubble of the NASDAQ has been quite serious, it has gone beyond the sum of the huge market capitalization of GDP in Japan, and has left too much capital to be uplifted and crazy.
Simon was worried.
After all, the higher you climb, the harder you fall.
As a result, Simon arrived in San Francisco on Monday and stayed in Silicon Valley for three days, mainly to make some adjustments before he fell off the cliff.
In fact, the world is in a state of irrationality many times, just like the two world wars. It seems inevitable, but in fact it is accidental. Because in the state of rationality, no one wants to launch a world-class war that will lead to tens of millions of deaths. However, the war just happened.
It's the same this time.
no one hopes that the NASDAQ will run all the way, and it will be shattered to the greatest extent after accumulating foam. However, under the general trend, even Simon will not dare to block it.
We can only do what we can.
In fact, there is not much that can be done, nothing more than to prepare for a rainy day, so that the new technology enterprises involved in the westero system can survive better in the cold winter of the next few years. A little more ambitious is to let more valuable new technology enterprises spend the cold winter together and avoid fundamental damage to the foundation of the Internet industry.
In the final analysis, there is only one word to do, money.
People can't live without food in famine.
In the capital cold winter, the enterprise also only obtains the life-saving fund, can maintain the survival.
Simon openly discussed with several directors of igritte for three days, and roughly finalized the plan. First of all, igritte began to tighten its money bag. After the IPO, igritte held a huge cash reserve of more than 20 billion US dollars. Even Simon repeatedly stressed that the company would inevitably be more extravagant, which must be changed.
Secondly, a new batch of large-scale data centers will be built around the world.
At this stage, even though igritte's cloud computing service is becoming more and more mature, many enterprises still tend to build their own servers. After all, most people subconsciously resist to rely on others.
However, once the cold winter of the industry comes, many new technology enterprises will no doubt find it difficult to maintain expensive "self built houses" and have to "rent houses.". Igrit's new batch of data centers will mainly provide this demand.
In the cold winter, there is a "house" and some "grain" that can basically survive.Finally, igrit also set up a special enterprise evaluation team, and began to quietly evaluate all aspects of the current operation of new technology enterprises.
Simon's not so fraternal. After the collapse of
's new technology bubble, some enterprises are worth saving, and more can only be abandoned.
What's more, Simon doesn't plan to do good for nothing.
Although the whole westero system has been investing in early innovation technology companies while developing its own key enterprises in recent years, it can be imagined that after the expected capital cold winter, after large-scale annexation and integration, westero system's control over new technology industry will be more deeply rooted.
August 8, Thursday.
He was in San Francisco from Monday to Wednesday. On Thursday morning, Simon flew to New York before eight o'clock and arrived on the east coast, where it was still just working time.
When she arrived at Denise entertainment east coast headquarters on 66th street in Upper West District, Simon had just finished reading some documents that she had been looking through all the way. Finally, this is the plan that C girl handed over yesterday to set up mini Internet bar with Starbucks.
The inspiration comes from the recent Olympic Games.
At this stage, there is no mobile Internet, and several products of tincobail company founded by C girl all rely on the Internet. Considering the consumer mentality, both ICAM and IREC users obviously hope to upload photos and videos to the Internet as soon as possible to share with their friends.
For example, during this Olympic Games, Atlanta's most popular places of consumption are Internet cafes all over the city.
After taking photos and videos, tourists from North America and all over the world are looking for Internet cafes to upload and share. As a result, Internet cafes in Atlanta are almost full all day.
Simon has promoted the development of Internet bar industry in North America a few years ago, but it was 1991 at that time. The main purpose was to let potential users try the Internet, so as to promote the public access to network services. Unlike China, which can maintain a fairly hot Internet bar industry for many years in the future, Simon is not very optimistic about the development of Internet bar industry in North America because of consumption power, so he quickly cashed out the related projects.
In the scheme provided by Claire, the function of the Internet bar has changed, and the core is no longer purely providing users with online services, but as a supporting product of tingcobaier's products.
In fact, many Internet giants in Simon's memory have spared no effort to promote one thing, that is, to enable more people in the world to connect to the Internet. Google or Facebook have set up their own network service companies, released network satellites, built public WiFi, and even tried to provide wireless network by plane.
Claire's plan is the same as that of a series of Internet giants.
The problem now is that it costs too much to run a chain of Internet cafes alone. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a good choice to cooperate with Starbucks all over the United States and even the world. Each Starbucks store will add several computers for users to upload instantly to form a mini Internet bar.
It's a win-win solution.
Adding Internet access, just like providing free WiFi later, can attract more users for Starbucks. Similarly, uploading is more convenient, which can also stimulate consumers to purchase electronic products such as ICAM.
Therefore, both sides have shown obvious cooperation intention.
Next is the specific cooperation plan. In the final analysis, it's about money.
