MTL - America’s Big Hero-v2 Chapter 438 : The future value of billions...
Latest URL:
Q: A brand new industry has appeared, and everyone doesn't understand it, and can't even see where the profit points are. How can you make money at this time?
Answer: Flick, then flick!
Of course, this statement is too low emotional intelligence, it should be called about the future of Qian Jingna, what is this industry?
Answer: The software industry.
A string of virtual codes that can be deleted at any time, you can never hold them real in your hands, you can only observe them through the screen.
Therefore, in the early days of the software industry, the bigwigs in the physical industry that have been developing for hundreds of years are really keeping a distance.
It is too virtual, and it feels unsafe at all, and it is difficult for them to identify with the software due to the habit formed for a long time.
A common question is, what should I do if the power goes out?
They are willing to use, but not willing to invest a lot, which can be seen from the share ratio of Microsoft after going public.
Before the listing, Bill held 64% of the shares, and after the listing dilution, there is still 45%. At that time, the major consortiums really did not pay attention to the software industry, which gave the new rich class a chance to rise.
However, this also blocked the way for later generations, and the major consortiums did not give the bigwigs in the Internet era a chance.
Of course, it's the same everywhere. Born from the grassroots, I still want to be in control, and I want to be tender and beautiful.
It will be useful to start a business, so why do you need to reincarnate?
What is social division of labor?
Your job is to plant the land well, but the harvest water is too deep, you can't control it, you have to leave it to the landlord to control it!
ahem...
Looking at Sean with a half-smile on his face, Bill frowned slowly.
Before Sean came, Bill had already received the notice, and he took the recently popular credit card machine to study it and prepare.
Originally, I thought that after Sean came, I would flicker and explain how many new functions Microsoft can bring to the credit card machine.
To be honest, Bill is really imaginative.
Just playing with the credit card machine, I thought of a lot of functions.
Originally, he thought that he would have another chance to start explaining what Microsoft could bring to Sean's credit card machine and earn a fortune.
Then through publicity, the stock market soared again, and the result...
In sales, the most **** annoying thing is to understand people!
"Mr. Sean, in fact, I think there is still a lot of functions to be developed in the credit card machine."
Bill took a deep breath. He wasn't one to give up so easily.
"Of course, I know." Sean nodded, opened the humidor he was carrying, and gestured to Bill.
Bill said goodbye and said he didn't need it.
Sean trimmed his cigars and said slowly: "For example, in a supermarket, with a display and a barcode scanner, just scan each item, the system can automatically calculate the total amount, and then swipe the card. ."
"The credit card machine can also be equipped with a micro thermal printer to print out the credit card slip, which can be kept for guests, and can also allow guests to see what they have consumed and how much they are spending at a glance."
"Finally, for the supermarket itself, a database can be established to conduct statistics on commodity sales, making logistics management much easier."
Bill: "..."
Staring at Sean with wide eyes, Bill's expression stiffened. You said it all, what else should I say?
"It can also be applied to restaurants, fast food restaurants, coffee shops, etc., connecting two small printers, one in the back kitchen and one in the service counter." Sean picked up the roasted cigar and put it in his mouth deeply He took a breath and exhaled a large mouthful of smoke.
Bill took off his glasses and wiped them, looking carefully at Sean's face hidden behind the smoke, looming, mysterious and evil.
"In this way, after the customer swipes the card, the service desk and the back kitchen immediately know which table has ordered what order, and no manual communication is required, which is convenient and quick, reduces errors and improves efficiency."
"There are many similar functions, so I won't list them one by one."
"But..." Sean looked at Bill with a smile, "The biggest problem in front of you is how to make this single business become (this chapter is not over!)
Chapter 438: The future is worth hundreds of billions...
Microsoft's, then hyped, boosted the stock price and boosted investor confidence. "
"After all, it's not difficult for me to find someone to make this system. For example, how much did the guy who sold you the DOS system cost?"
"I remember it was $50,000, and wow, that's a good business, and even the software guys don't think it's worth anything."
"I wonder if he has run out of money now, or is still in the business?"
Bill looked blank: you would have no friends like this.
What should I do if I suddenly find that I have no chips in my hand?
"It was really fun chatting with Mr. Sean." Bill was Bill, his face soon filled with a smile, and he said with emotion: "Mr. is really erudite and talented. When doing business, it is always difficult to explain what software is, what functions it has, and what convenience it can bring to customers.”
"People always have a vague resistance and disapproval of software. They don't think the code on the hard drive is really worth that much money."
Sean just looked at Bill so quietly, what you said was so true, I almost believed it!
"So what?" Sean asked with a smile.
"$1!" Bill raised a finger. "To be able to cooperate with Mr. Sean, our philosophy at Microsoft is: use software to change lives."
"Mr. Sean's credit card machine business is very promising and in line with our company's business philosophy, so I decided that each credit card machine installation costs only $1, and I will be responsible for software updates and maintenance for the next 3 years! "
Sean laughed immediately, and said exactly what he said.
Various patents on credit card machines can be retained for 20 years, and Sean estimates that the market for credit card machines will not be less than tens of millions in the future.
In fact, Sean is grossly underestimating, and Microsoft's 83-year operating income was only $100 million.
Last year's revenue was less than 300 million.
If the deal is negotiated at this price, Microsoft's revenue can increase by 20%.
That's not even counting the dividends from the stock price.
Sean smiled, and suddenly his face turned pale, "I refuse!"
Bill: "..."
How can we negotiate well, today is the worst day, no one.
"So, what does Mr. Sean mean?" Bill still kept his smile on his face.
"I'll give you $2 each for the installation." Sean stretched out **** and shook it.
Not only did Bill's face not look good, but he put away his smile and frowned.
Sean can take the initiative to increase the price, it must have a bigger plan.
"What are the conditions?" Bill took a deep breath and asked with a serious face
"Don't worry." Sean smiled and waved his hand, "There are more benefits for you."
"All the computers in Sean Bank branches can use your operating system."
I can also recommend Microsoft's OS to Rockefeller. "
"What do you think of New Jersey? There are not many computers currently used by government departments. I think that replacing all of them with a unified system will greatly help improve efficiency and reduce bugs."
Every time Sean said one, the corner of Bill's mouth twitched.
"I have a good relationship with Delaware."
"You know the Rockefeller influence in New York State."
"How about West Virginia? My uncle is a Senator from West Virginia."
"The Mayor of Los Angeles is my partner."
"Oh yes, I have more than 40 ports all over the world."
"The glasses that had just been cleaned were blurred again, and Bill took them off and wiped them again.
"Also, there are overseas!" Sean seemed to suddenly remember something, "Are you familiar with Colombia, I still have some influence in the northern region that has developed the best in recent years, at least government departments can replace all Microsoft systems ."
"What do you think of the official promotion?"
"Sri Lanka, you know? The entire national government can also replace all Microsoft systems!"
"Morocco, the development momentum has been very strong recently."
"The Li family in Xingcheng is closed to me (this chapter is not over!)
Chapter 438: The future is worth hundreds of billions...
The department is very good, presumably they will give me Sean a face! "
"The Malay government has just been cleaned up by me, and now they are doing their jobs with their tails tucked in. They must show me respect."
"I went to Thailand a while ago, and the king of Thailand is still very talkative.
"Xunni, needless to say about this."
"Let's put it this way, every country in Southeast Asia, give me Sean a face!" Sean tapped the table with his hand holding the cigar.
Bill's lips are already trembling now, and he doesn't doubt Sean's words, because even he who doesn't care about the so-called war knows what he just said.
The benefits that Sean throws out are too great!
Even Bill was terrified.
What does Microsoft have, what does he have to be worthy of such a big bait from Sean?
The answer is self-evident, the guy in front of him is a man of understanding.
Sean takes a fancy to Microsoft itself!
Bill wanted to refuse sternly, but Sean gave too much.
If those markets are open to Microsoft, then...
Emma, dare not think, dare not think, Wuhu, take off!
After some bargaining, Sean used the credit card machine system to install the system, his contacts helped Microsoft open up the market and a cash injection of 30 million US dollars, in exchange for Microsoft to issue 20% of the shares to Sean.
Before Microsoft went public, Bill held 64% and Paul Allen 36%.
After the listing process, Bill still has 45% and Paul Allen 25.3%.
When the additional issuance is completed, Bill still has 36%, Paul Allen 20.24%, and Sean has been buying Microsoft's tradable shares in the stock market before, so Sean's current 23.8% share ratio exceeds Paul Ai's Lun became the second largest shareholder of Microsoft.
Of course, Bill and Paul are also not at a loss. With a cash injection of 30 million, coupled with the sudden opening of the market, it is certain that the stock price will skyrocket.
After the negotiation was over, after attending the dinner held by Bill, Sean was in a good mood when he left!
It's not because of how much the 20-odd Microsoft shares are worth. That's all in the future. Sean won't be short of money at that time. Besides, stocks are all floating profits, and it's impossible to cash out according to the stock price.
Sean really dared to sell so many shares, the stock price would go crazy.
Sean is interested in Microsoft's platform. In the future, as Microsoft continues to merge with other companies, Microsoft can penetrate and control the Internet industry as a whole.
After leaving Microsoft, Sean's next destination is California, San Jose International Airport.
Oracle: In 1986, the revenue was 55 million US dollars. In March, it was listed on the Nasdaq and raised 31.5 million US dollars.
Revenue in 1987 was $131 million.
In 1988, this year, Oracle became the fourth largest software company in the world.
What concept?
The current Oracle, a small and insignificant company, has revenue equivalent to 0.5 Sean Fitness, 0.2 Peace Hotel, and 0.05 Sean Pictures.
But this is the fourth...
It can be seen that the current software market is only a little bigger.
It is no wonder that it has not attracted the interest of major consortia.
It's too small, and a little bit of attention can blow up the entire software market.
At San Jose International Airport, Ellison personally went to the airport to meet Sean.
"Larry Ellison, it's nice to meet you!" Sean got down from the palace in the sky and stretched out his hand with a smile.
The superiors take the initiative to reach out, this is called demeanor!
"It's my pleasure, Mr. Sean." Ellison said quickly, bowing slightly and extending his hand.
Looking at Ellison's gaze from time to time to the palace in the sky, Sean said with a smile, "Ellison, are you interested in going up there to take a look?"
"Of course, but, will it delay the work at the airport?" Ellison seemed a little hesitant.
After landing, the plane will be towed away quickly and cannot occupy the runway for a long time. If it is to stay at the airport for a long time, it must be put into storage.
"It doesn't matter, let the people at the airport pull it aside first, and it doesn't matter if you store it later." Sean waved his hand and said indifferently.
(This chapter is not over!)
Chapter 438: The future is worth hundreds of billions...
"Thank you so much." Ellison followed Sean towards the plane. Ellison is a very interesting person. He is also a super playboy. He has been spending extravagantly since he was a child. He likes luxurious enjoyment, likes young and beautiful women, likes to open silver parties... He has a common language with Sean. people.
The Russian-born Youtai, who is said to have a poor family, was brought up by a single mother, and grew up in the middle and lower classes of Chicago Youtai when he was a child.
In fact, he was raised by his uncle's family. You Tairen paid great attention to the cultivation of descendants. Although his life was not very rich, he was still guaranteed to be above the middle class.
The proof is that this guy went to the University of Illinois and dropped out of his sophomore year, took a summer break and then went to the University of Chicago, and then Northwestern University.
As we all know, the tuition fees of American universities are very high, and ordinary families cannot afford to go to college three times.
In particular, re-enrolling in the second year after dropping out of school is in itself against the rules.
This guy can say nothing until the age of 32, has changed a lot of jobs during that time, never cared about the bills, and although his monthly income is only $1,000, he is very generous with his money, borrowing money to buy a 34-foot sailboat and another small sailboat.
In 1974, Ellison's wife got fed up with this guy's vanity, arrogance, and extravagance, so he chose to divorce, but he said to his wife: "I will be a millionaire, if you stay with me, you can get you anything you want."
But his wife said that's what he said ten years ago, but ten years later, you are still the same, and then you left...
Two years later, IBM researchers published a paper: The R System, Relational Theory of Databases, and Ellison saw an opportunity.
Subsequently, Ellison jumped up the other two to set up a company, specializing in databases, with a total investment of 2,000 US dollars, and he contributed 1,200 yuan, occupying 60% of the shares.
To be honest, the other two people didn't take it too seriously at the time. In the United States, setting up a company or something was like going to a striptease. It was very simple.
And then... soaring into the sky!
Ellison's wife: Mom sells batches!
I took Ellison around for a tour. The envy and desire in Ellison's eyes were undisguised and clearly expressed, and I wanted to have a fight.
When they came out of the airport, the two did not talk about business directly, but changed to a high-end restaurant arranged by Ellison.
Ellison's reception work for the day has been arranged, and the summary is to eat, drink, and have fun. However, Sean rejected Yinpa or something!
He is a serious man and cannot accept this high-end enjoyment.
The next day, Ellison took Sean to visit the Oracle company. At noon, he re-booked a restaurant and talked about work while eating.
I had 32 gigs.
"All of Sean Bank's databases use Oracle..."
"Recommended to Rockefeller...how about New Jersey, Delaware, New York, West Virginia, Mayors of Los Angeles, 40+ ports..."
"Colombia, Sri Lanka, Morocco... Southeast Asian countries should give me Sean a face!"
It's still the same old school, Sean directly used the market and huge network to smash Ellison.
What is rich and powerful, smashing, smashing with money, directly smashing the Oracle to separate his thighs, and let Sean come in and out at will...
Oracle's market value is not as good as Microsoft's. This time Sean only took out 20 million to get 20% of Oracle's shares.
Of course, it's not that Sean doesn't want to buy more shares in Microsoft and Oracle, it's just that Bill and Ellison don't want to sell that much at all. Both of them are the kind of people with a strong desire to control, and no one is allowed to exceed their holdings. share ratio.
When he left from Silicon Valley, Sean suddenly sighed, technology industry trade or trade industry technology......
Regardless of the emerging Internet companies in the new century, it is said that the first group to rise, Microsoft, Oracle, and Apple, all have a common feature. The founders, Bill, Ellison, and Steve Jobs, are not tech giants.
Microsoft's technology leader is Paul Allen, Oracle's technology leader is Bob Miner, Apple (this chapter is not over!)
Chapter 438: The future is worth hundreds of billions...
If the tech giant is Steve Watts.
Bob Miner, architect for the first through sixth editions of the Orle database.
Steve Woz, the designer of the first to third generations of Apple.
These technology giants all have one characteristic, naivety...especially Steve Woz, who holds 10% of the appraisal stock, and finally managed to become a billionaire. In May 2015, he joined Bitcoin as a PlCapital, the main digital currency blockchain company, was deceived in the end with 7 bitcoins in his hands.
Another company, Cisco, was founded by a couple of tech giants. As a result, the company has been tepid until the two were kicked out and John Chambers took over, and Cisco became the world's largest Internet communication problem solver. Occupy 80% of the market share.
Of course, don't associate...
Although Manmen Zhonglie copied the correct answers, the problem is that people have problems, and they did not copy the homework.
Sean is still very satisfied with the trip to the West Coast. Together with the business contract signed, he spent a total of 76 million US dollars.
Money is success, success is money!
Leaving the west coast, Sean did not return to New York immediately, but instead went to Virginia on the east coast.
There is a small company here, and Sean is ready to swallow them.
AOL AOL!
Before the dotcom bubble burst, the most valuable internet company, of course, is not AOL now.
Quantum Computer Information Data Corporation.
The non-existent AOL made Sean easy to find. Fortunately, he remembered that AOL was a provider of Internet access services in the early days, and finally found it through this line.
The current quantum computer information data company is still a small company with only more than 60 people, which invites customers to surf the Internet for one month free of charge in various magazines with registration web pages.
Lorraine and the others wondered why Sean invested in such a small company.
Well, including the founder of the quantum computer company, Steve Case, did not understand how the famous Sean suddenly became interested in their small and broken company.
Small broken company, there is no value to visit, the total number of access users is less than 50,000.
Sean still held his nose and looked around, patted Steve Case on the shoulder, and praised the Internet access service he provided.
Then it was Sean who decided to put out $1 million to invest in the quantum computer company and got a 30% stake.
This is just the A round. It's not that Sean doesn't want to invest more, but he gives them money, and they have nowhere to spend...
The rest can only be said slowly later.
Sean promises that when future card machines are connected to the network, he will ask customers to recommend their quantum computer company to provide the service.
When leaving, Sean patted Steve Case on the shoulder and said, "Do you know why your company hasn't developed yet?"
Steve Case responded quickly: "Because we haven't met you before, Dear Mr. Sean."
"Piu Liang, I'm optimistic about you!" Sean reached out and nodded Steve Case with great relief, "This must be the most critical factor, and the second critical factor is that your company's name is not loud enough. , can't stand out among the many computer companies~www.novelbuddy.com~Apple, approachable, will appear in your hands and mouths at any time, Orle means Oracle, quantum computer company... It's too abstract."
"Crack!" Steve Case slapped his hands hard, as if he had come to a realization, "Mr. Sean is so right, then please give the company a new name!"
Daddy Gold is always right!
Compared with companies such as Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle, which are dominated by hard power, AOL's business methods and concepts are an alternative.
Steve Case and Bill, Ellison and others must also be an alternative. He knows nothing about computer technology and is a pure layman.
In 1987, in order to allow Apple II to use their online services, he almost lived downstairs in the Apple Company, and went to the door every day to grind hard, and he was so polished.
Steve Case (This chapter is not over!)
Chapter 438: The future is worth hundreds of billions...
He believes that no matter how good any technology is, if it is not practical, it will be eliminated by the market. People like convenient and simple things, and technology is no exception. Therefore, the core concept of AOL's business is to provide people with convenient and fast network services.
It was considered a shame in the high-tech industry at the time.
"A bigger format, it's called AOL!" Sean said with a smile.
For a while, Steve Case looked in a trance...
Steve Case, who quickly recovered, immediately seemed very excited, and he didn't know if it was true or not. The guy waved his arms frantically, "The pattern, the pattern is opened at once!"
