After the Las Vegas Electronics Exhibition, Xia Tian began to arrange its subsidiary companies to develop and improve browsers and online video chat software.

Coupled with cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, neural networks, as well as inherent projects such as operating systems and service software, Tianxia Technology suddenly became a scientific research site and worked hard.

The 50% profit-making investment in the technology research and development strategy implemented by Tianxia Technology has also made many technology companies feel great pressure.

In order to avoid losing in future competition, all companies have increased R&D investment in the same way.

In addition to increasing R&D investment, acquiring ready-made patented technologies has also become the choice of many companies.

For a time, new Internet companies and high-tech companies have become popular in the eyes of these giants, coming forward to ask for prices one after another, wanting to acquire or invest.

This also caused the valuations of these companies to rise, and their prices changed almost every day. An Internet website that has just opened for a few days, its business has not yet been clear, and the number of visitors is not high, and it dares to bid for millions of dollars.

This move greatly stimulated the emergence of the Internet bubble and made this "bubble" bigger and bigger.

...

Although in this Internet bubble, many Internet companies have poor valuations. They are nominally unicorns, but they are actually goats with horns, but there are still many Internet companies that are good and have their value.

Among them, Internet companies like ebay and Amazon survived to the future, and became better and better, there are hotmail that provides email services to netizens, theglobe that provides social services, razorfish that provides digital media advertising services, broadcast that provides online radio services, geocities that customize personal web pages for customers, flooz that provides coupons, so that people can pay parking fees online, govorks that impose fines, and ebvan that provides online express services to the public...

To be honest, the entrepreneurial philosophy of these websites is very good, and they can see many successful online companies in their future generations.

For example, the social services provided by the-globe are exactly the same as Faebooks in previous lives; geocities that customize personal web pages for customers are quite similar to the popular QQ space in the past; and govorks, which cooperates with the government departments to assist the public in paying online, is no different from the common payment software on mobile phones now; eBvan, which allows people to make reservations online and provides online express services, is actually similar to the current takeaway express companies...

However, because in the early stages of Internet entrepreneurship, almost everyone could not see how they should make money, so after the website developed, they were so confused that they didn’t know where to go.

In addition, the arrival of the Internet bubble has caused many companies to be abandoned by capital and forced to close down before they found a way to make a profit.

Therefore, in the summer, he is going to observe several online companies. If the price is right, he is going to take them down first. Of course, if the price is too high and there is no return value, then forget it.

...

Among them, summer is more optimistic about hotmail, which provides users with email services, digital advertising agency razorfish, govorks, which allows people to pay online, and broadcast, which provides online music and radio services to netizens.

Email was one of the most commonly used communication software for netizens in the early days of the development of the Internet. At that time, email addresses not only had small capacity, but also provided services through fees.

For example, hotmail has only two megabytes of free space. In comparison, the email space in later generations generally started with two g. If the capacity is expanded, a certain fee must be paid. Despite this, the number of hotmail users still reached six million, which is very good.

Xia Tian knows that although email services will gradually fade away in the future, they still have their own value. Especially in the business field, email is even more indispensable.

Many businesses communicate through email.

First, email is more formal than live chat software; second, emails have the same standards, so they have good interoperability. There will be no problems in the middle from sending emails from Yahoo email to Google email. However, it is impossible to send messages from QQ to WeChat; third, emails are stored for a long time and have higher security performance.

Commonly used live chat software usually does not store chat information for too long. After a while, it will be cleaned up by the server. However, the email box has its own storage space. As long as the user does not delete it or as long as the space is not full, it can theoretically be retained forever.

Business negotiations usually last for several months or even years. If you use live chat software to communicate, the information cannot be stored for too long, so it is more reliable to use an email address.

Xia Tian is preparing to acquire hotmail and develop an email business. Of course, if the price is too high, Xia Tian doesn't mind launching its competitors.

When it comes to burning money, even if it is Microsoft, it will be free; if it is free hotmail, it will be four trillion... Netizens are the ones who recognize the cheapness, so of course they will choose which one of them is cheaper.

Thinking back then, the mainland network disks developed like this. Each one is larger than the other, like 361 delivering a huge space of 20t in one go, and Leshi has even launched an unlimited number of network disks.

However, in the end, because the network disk business is not profitable and the stricter supervision of the government has caused many companies to slap themselves in the face, either canceling the network disk service or significantly reducing the network disk capacity.

...

Digital advertising agency sounds unfamiliar, but it is actually everywhere.

Most web advertising is provided by digital advertising agencies.

Although Internet companies in the future have a variety of profit methods, such as making money through online games, some making money through retail, and some making money through services, they still make money through digital advertising.

For example, there will be an advertisement every few news on today's headlines; video websites like Youku will also play an advertisement before the video is played; as for the psoriasis-like advertisements on small websites, there are more.

Many of these advertisements are not used by the website itself. After all, some websites are small websites and do not have that much capital to launch advertisements.

But small websites do not mean that they do not make money. Just like some Thomasaka stations, the number of visitors per day is as high as tens of millions, even higher than the click rate of many formal websites. They are a very good advertising exhibition platform.

Therefore, such small websites require digital advertising agencies to help them attract advertisements, and agents connect from the merchant and website and collect share.
