Silicon Valley

Half a month later, the IMDB website followed in the footsteps of Nicholas Shopping Network and was also listed on Nasdaq.

The IMDB website has a very large influence in the film and television industry, and is an indispensable part of the current film publicity! Among them, the main profit of IMDB website is five points!

One is the film promotion fee of the film company!

The second is to sell user rating data. Through the data, you can see how users of all ages like various types of movies, so that film companies can formulate strategies and decide what type of movies to make!

The third is commercial advertising!

The fourth is to provide content services to traditional media.

Fifth, sell movie DVDs to make money. IMDB is not powerful enough now. After it becomes strong, it may be possible to book tickets directly online and realize the online and offline layout!

In addition to these, there are more profit points to be developed. Anyway, as long as there are users and traffic, the website can make money!

However, at this stage, the IMDB website does not make a lot of money, because there are too few users, and then various expenses have to be removed, so it is not a loss! Fortunately, Henry opened the golden finger to find so many profit points, otherwise the IMDB website will definitely lose money!

The IMDB website is just a simple movie network, but the market value of IMDB soared to $3 billion on the day it went public!

Internet concept stocks were suddenly enthusiastically sought after by Wall Street investors, and AOL, as an Internet company, naturally benefited from it, and its market value soared, breaking through to $7 billion for the first time!

On the same day, the stock price of Nicholas Shopping Network also rose by $1!

Subsequently, Henry received data from the domain name management company: "On the second day that the IMDB website was listed, there were more than 1,000 domain names applied for registration!"

Henry was shocked when he heard the news!

It seems that everyone is jealous!

The meat of the Internet is not so easy to eat!

Without traffic, even if you set up a website, you can only lose money in the end! Broadband, servers, staff expenses, etc. are not a small sum! Of course, if it can be listed for financing, that's another story!

Henry didn't care about this, anyway, the domain name management company and Noah's Ark made a lot of money because of it!

To apply for a domain name, one hundred dollars is charged, and one thousand is one hundred thousand dollars. In the future, the website will have to pay an annual management fee of 50 dollars. The domain name management company is simply sitting and collecting money!

In the days that followed, many people applied for domain name registration every day. In such days, the money is received softly...

Noah's Ark's server hosting business has also skyrocketed, and many server sites established in the United States have begun to fill up. Noah's Ark has decided to expand more sites to meet user needs! Of course, the server also sold a lot! The web Ark series server has been updated, and the second generation has been launched, with better performance and more affordable prices. This time, just in time for the popularity of Internet concept stocks, countless people have begun to get involved in the Internet industry. The second generation of web Ark servers has a short period of time. Just sold 400 units, and one server sold for $50,000, netted $20,000, and made eight million in one go! Subsequent orders also continued, and the second-generation server of Web Ark became the most popular server at the moment!

After the listing of IMDB, the website has sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and Noah's Ark has begun to reverse losses and generate profits! The competition between servers has also become more and more intense, but currently, Noah's Ark still has an absolute advantage! Two-thirds of the market share is occupied by Noah's Ark, and the remaining one-third is mainly divided up by IBM, HP, Dell and other companies!

Noah's Ark Company attaches great importance to technology, and the proportion of technology investment accounts for 40%, which is why Noah's Ark can always lead! Among them, Henry pointed out the direction of research and development for them, which made them less detours, and simply engaged in development. No matter how good IBM is, it is no better than it...

Moreover, the research and development of such a tall server blade has also made great progress. Once successful, it will be a milestone! Banks, telecommunications, financial institutions or Internet data centers will definitely choose blade servers, because the main structure of this server is a large main chassis, and many "blades" can be inserted inside, each of which is actually a system motherboard, similar to For each independent server, they can start their own operations through the local hard disk! Each blade can run its own system and serve different specified user groups, and are not related to each other. Furthermore, these motherboards can also be aggregated into a server cluster using system software. In cluster mode, all blades can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment, share resources, and serve the same user group. By inserting new blades in the cluster, the overall performance can be improved.

Blade servers have so many advantages and will be the trend of future server development! While other companies are still doing tower and rack servers, Noah's Ark has started to take a step ahead!

With the listing and financing of Nicholas Shopping Network and IMDB, Henry's worth has skyrocketed. If it is revealed, everyone will be stunned! However, he always hides behind his back, holding control through Nicholas Group Corporation! The Nicholas Group is an offshore company established in the British Virgin Islands. As for the shareholders, except for Gilly Hurt who knew that Henry was 100% controlled, no one knew how much Henry held, only that he held the position of Chairman, definitely holds shares, and is a major shareholder! ! !

This time, Nicholas Group has listed two companies successively, creating four billionaires, more than ten millionaires, and hundreds of millionaires. Under the company building, a row of expensive cars is blinding. Eye!

Henry's car is still an old Ford car. He feels that buying a car directly is too low-level. It would be awesome to order a bulletproof high-end sedan!

With his increasing worth, he was somewhat aware that his safety was at stake. Once it is known that he is a rich man, what if he is robbed. In fact, this is why Henry is very low-key!

I have watched too many Hong Kong movies, and so and so rich people are often kidnapped and extorted, and Henry is also afraid!

After Nicholas Shopping.com went public, Henry cashed out $1 billion when the stock price was at its highest. First, he placed an order with Ford Motor Company, asking them to order a bulletproof car worth tens of millions of dollars. Custom cars are only just getting started, though. Henry could only drive the old Ford. As for why Ford is chosen over Japanese cars like Toyota or Honda. Hehe, you call Ford and just bump into them to see why Henry chose Ford.

The American car is as strong as the American physique. It hits the little Japan into smashed pieces. There is nothing wrong with it. For Japanese cars, it is dangerous, and the owner is likely to hang up. Henry's parents died in a car accident, and Henry still has lingering fears!

For the sake of safety, Henry recruited a lot of security guards. These security guards are all retired soldiers of the US special forces, with first-class ability. However, his No. 1 bodyguard Sean Houston accidentally said a word to remind him, "Every year, a large number of soldiers in the United States have nothing to do after retiring. It would be great if you could help them find something to do!"

The world-famous private military and security consulting company Blackwater Company decided in Henry's mind just like that!

Niang Xipi's, the black society has to be afraid of me in the future! ! ! (The new book is in urgent need of your support!)
