Hollywood Starts with Animation

end of August.

On this day, the Silicon Valley regional government once again held a new Internet Summit, which was held much slower than usual, because there are too many newly established Internet companies in the Silicon Valley region of the United States this year. Compared with last year, the number of enterprises increased by 7 times during the same period.

The number of exhibitors is as many as 4,700.

Among them, there are nearly 3,500 Internet companies, all of which were newly established in 1997.

Yahoo, Netscape, Amazon, E-Toyce Mall, icq, etc. are all "Internet myths", and their huge benefits continue to stimulate people's psychology, coupled with the "information superhighway" implemented by the American government this year. "The plan directly led to the explosion of the development of the Internet industry in the United States in 1997.

The number is growing rapidly!

On this day, Zucker came to the Silicon Valley Internet Summit again. The people accompanying him, in addition to Zhu Ke's two bodyguards, were also the president of LinkedIn, Jeff Weiner.

"Jeff, I read LinkedIn's recent development report yesterday, and I have to say, you did a good job." Zucker praised.

"Thank you for the compliment from the boss, but we haven't done enough. I believe that by the end of the year, the company's development will reach a new level."

Jeff Weiner said solemnly.

After the initial promotion failed, LinkedIn adjusted its promotion strategy immediately. Judging from the current effect, it is indeed quite good.

As of yesterday, the daily traffic of LinkedIn's official website has reached 1.5 million, the number of registered members has reached 600,000, and the number of online cooperative enterprises has reached more than 2,400; this month's advertising profit has also climbed to 300,000 US dollars.

Of course, LinkedIn is still losing money.

However, judging from the traffic and the number of registered members, LinkedIn has become a rising star in the Internet market and a unique player in the field of online recruitment. Its convenient Internet services and creativity have been loved and welcomed by many netizens.

As long as it works steadily, I believe that in 2 to 3 years, LinkedIn will be able to achieve profitability.

......

This year's Silicon Valley Internet is open!

First of all, the officials and representatives of the local government gave a brief opening speech, the content of which was nothing more than to explain the development data of this year, and to imagine the vigorous development of the coming year.

This was originally an extremely boring thing, but the data given by the organizer really shocked everyone at the scene.

"At this year's summit, we attracted as many as 4,700 exhibitors, a seven-fold increase from last year."

"Looking at the whole of the United States, as of a month ago, the number of Internet industry has exceeded 15,000 companies, and it has increased by 3.9 times compared to last year!"

"At the same time, the Internet industry leaders such as Microsoft, Yahoo, Oracle, IBM, Cisco, etc., their turnover in the first half of this year has also increased by 5.2 times compared with last year!"

......

The cold data directly ignited the blood of everyone present.

Money, beauty, dreams, etc., have completely become the pursuit of every Internet participant. They are also eager to succeed and to achieve brilliance in a short period of time like Amazon, Microsoft, and ICQ.

After the Internet Exchange Summit started, representatives of investment institutions and individual investors frantically began to pursue the goals they needed.

"Uh, your company is Internet office equipment? Very well, I'm going to invest in you, tell me, how much money do you need."

A middle-aged man with a pot belly, standing in front of several young men dressed in slightly shabby clothes, said that he would invest in their dreams.

Investing in dreams?

Shit!

To put it bluntly, it is to make money!

......

At the same time, a booth next to the middle-aged man,

There is also a representative of an investment institution who is betting on a company he likes.

"what?"

"You said that your company has just been established for less than two weeks, and the company is currently unable to make ends meet and lack funds?"

"Is there a company location? Well, no. How much funding? $200,000."

"It's okay, young man."

"I, Hlaudrup, like to support the dreams of young people. As long as you can convince me, I can invest $1 million. Of course, if your plan is good enough, I can put out $10 million at one time."

......

at a booth.

A young man who is only about 20 years old is selling his dream loudly to everyone.

"Gentlemen and ladies, invest in my company, invest in my ideas, and I guarantee you will make a fortune!"

"What? You call me a liar!"

"You damned fellow, don't use your shallow ideas to sully my great dream!"

"Although my company has been established recently, my dreams are priceless. My planning is excellent enough, and I myself have enough capabilities. I firmly believe that my company will surpass Yahoo in 10 years, or even 5 years. , surpassing Microsoft and becoming the number one company in the Internet industry!"

"Guys, invest in me and my company now and I promise you a billionaire future!"

"My God, what are you waiting for?!"

The impassioned words of young people, although full of loopholes, still attracted a group of crazy and blind investors to conduct investment negotiations with them.

Chaos abounds!

That's right, the birth of one Internet myth, one billionaire after another from Silicon Valley, completely overwhelmed the rationality of investors.

"You can invest in the Internet to make a fortune, there's no reason why I can't!"

This is a very popular investment idea in the American market right now.

Zu Ke watched the scene with a cold eye, and his heart was also fluctuating frequently. It's not that Zucker is not calm enough, but the atmosphere at the scene is too crazy. Compared with the atmosphere of the World Cup and the Olympic Games, it's not too frustrating.

Internet companies in the late 1990s were crazy enough.

It can be reflected in one data, that is the American Spring Festival Gala (Super Bowl of Rugby)!

Every January, the Super Bowl is held. On this day, it attracts audiences from all over the United States. Hundreds of thousands of people watch the game live, and tens of millions of people watch the game through live TV.

The halftime advertisement attracted a large number of companies.

The vast majority of Super Bowl commercials in recent years are from Internet companies.

For example, at the beginning of 1997, the Super Bowl attracted hundreds of Internet companies, of which 17 Internet companies won advertising time at high prices. In just 30 seconds, the advertising cost exceeded 1.6 million US dollars, which was nearly double the 850,000 last year.

Although they spend a lot of money, they never tire of it.

In 1998, the 30-second advertising fee was raised to $1.75 million;

In 2000, each company handed over $2.2 million; and one of the Internet companies offered lucky participants a $10 million bonus during prime time.

These are enough to witness the madness of the Internet.

However, in 2001, because of the bursting of the Internet bubble, one Internet company after another went bankrupt. In this year, only 3 Internet companies bought advertising, and the cost was much lower than in previous years.

Zu Ke also wandered around for a while and found that most of the Internet companies participating in the exhibition today are not reliable, and many of them are even scammers.

"Hey, it seems that the luck is not as good as last year. Last year, I got an ICQ. This year, it seems that there is no drama."

"what?"

Suddenly, Zucker noticed a company called "McAfee" that sold Internet security software.

What the hell!

In an instant, Zucker was a shock.

"Could this be the later famous security software McAfee?"

McAfee security software may be extremely unfamiliar to friends in the Great Celestial Dynasty, but in the United States after the 21st century, it is an antivirus software giant that is also known as Symantec and Kaspersky.

" "The first more is sent.
