Chapter 1233 Industry Trends
No matter how good the friendship is, there cannot be too much training like this, mainly because the time schedule does not allow it.
So after the first class, Zhou Zhi added a set of projection equipment on the fourth floor of the movie hall, which was used to broadcast etiquette courses every night, and organized the girls of the etiquette team to practice there.
In the next week, the renovation of the computing center was extremely busy, and Zhou Zhi was also extremely busy.
As the largest non-staple food company in Sichuan, it is not that simple to participate in the Food and Wine Fair.
Fortunately, Manzhou already had an old Youtiao customer from the Food and Wine Association, and that was Laojiao Winery.
Laojiao Winery has been officially listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. I don’t know if it is due to the heavy involvement of AXA Fund, but it is actually earlier than what Zhou Zhi experienced in the previous life.
The lead underwriter of the listing has also become Bank of China Shu Province Trust and Investment Company. The underwriting method is balance underwriting. The issuance price is 5.83 yuan. The total share capital before the IPO is more than 80 million shares. The total share capital after the IPO For just over 100 million shares, the actual number of shares issued was more than 20 million, and a total of more than 120 million was raised.
This is undoubtedly a very successful listing, and the more than 120 million yuan is only part of the public offering, plus the "strategic partners" shareholders introduced during the previous shareholding reform. Sheng Fund, etc., Laojiao Winery has raised a total of more than 200 million yuan.
Zhou Zhi couldn’t help but admire the actuarial ability of Li Laosan Hongsheng Accounting Firm. He said that AXA’s assets would surge between 370 million and 480 million due to the listing of Laojiao Winery. As a result, it is now based on the issuance After converting the price, it turned out to be over 380 million.
This is a terrible amount of wealth. Although it only exists on the books, if Zhou Zhi is anxious to cash it out, he can turn it into disposable funds through many short-term financial means such as mortgages.
However, Zhou Zhi has already become a billionaire on paper, mainly from overseas investment income, because the information technology companies invested by AXA Fund overseas have finally experienced an eye-catching "big market".
What is attracted by such a big market is the capital that is flocking to it all over the world, and the ones who get the most fat are the crocodiles who have already sunk to the bottom of the lake and have already completed their layout.
AXA Fund, which owns a large amount of high-tech information company equity, does not even need to sell stocks. Even through "bond leasing", that is, lending stocks to companies marketing financial derivatives, it can gain a profit. A lot of "bond interest".
In other words, AXA Fund has entered the "holding period" from the "acquisition period". In addition to operating some derivatives with stable returns, the book income brought by the stock increase alone is a Terrible numbers.
The creation of rich people is often so boring.
Metcalfe, the inventor of Ethernet, once summarized a law for the development of the Internet, called Metcalfe's law.
The general meaning is that users are king, and the value of the network is proportional to the square of the number of users in the network.
Explained from the principle of topology, that is, two users can only establish one connection, three users can establish three connections, four users, the connection will become six, five users and ten. Connections, six users have fifteen connections...
When the number of users reaches one hundred, the number of connections will increase to five thousand.
The growth rate of connections is far greater than the growth rate of users. More connections will attract more users, just like a snowball, it will get bigger and bigger. Therefore, the growth rate of the entire Internet value is almost exponential. of.
The growth rate of the high-tech industry is actually quite similar to that of the Internet. However, this "quasi-exponential" growth comes from the "suction" before the market is saturated and the proprietary information equipment. All previous industrial products did not have the ability to iterate rapidly.
From 1985 to 1990, the proportion of American households with computers increased from 8% to 15%. In the next few years, according to estimates from AXA Fund, the growth rate of computers in the United States will double again, from 15% to more than 35%.
The next Internet industry will be even more terrifying.
In the United States, an industry with 50 million users will become a big industry. To reach this number, radios have been used for nearly 40 years, televisions have been used for 13 years, computers have been used for eight to ten years, and the Internet will Further compressed to four years!
It used to take forty years to develop a mature market scale, but now it can be shortened ten times. This is the truth of the famous saying "Standing on the wind, even pigs can fly".
Therefore, all the gains made by AXA Fund from international high-tech companies were completely thrown into the more emerging Internet industry by Li Laosan. Provided angel funding to a series of Internet companies to help them incubate.
AXA Fund, which found its second pot of gold from high-tech information companies, follows the information technology industry very closely.
This is also the unique advantage of AXA Fund. Firstly, because the boss of the Li family is an expert in information technology think tanks in the United States. Secondly, he is Zhou Zhi, the golden finger.
Since Dr. Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the Internet, proposed the concept of the World Wide Web in 1989, and the formation of the HTTP protocol, users have been able to obtain the resources of another computer through software and parse them in the correct way.
Such software is called a "browser", but the browser's initial appearance was completely different from what people would be familiar with in later generations. It was just a command line tool that allowed you to enter commands. Convenient interface and user-friendly interaction, and no feedback such as pictures.
It is just an input box. After entering text, the text result is returned, nothing more.
But the highway already exists, and then an "address book" is needed for everyone to "address", which requires another important innovation - DNS, that is, the domain name system.
The domain name system can be roughly understood as a guidepost on the information highway, allowing the user's computer to find the corresponding website based on the entered domain name.
At this point, basically all the application foundations for the Internet are already in place.
There are several things that need to be done now. The first is to improve the user experience and develop a web browser with a graphical interface.
Second, I need a search engine, just like a phone book. I just need to enter the index words and I can find a list of links to the information I want.
Third, they are content providers that provide content for the Internet, including portal websites, entertainment websites, business websites, etc.
According to this idea, Zhou Zhi selected Netscape as a browser, Google as a search engine, Amazon and Ebay as a content maker from the list of potential Internet giant companies provided by the boss of the Li family. There are Akamai, which provides basic services, and Qualcomm, which provides equipment.
What’s funny is that these lucky people who are famous in the industry in later generations are still babies and toddlers waiting to be fed. Among all these companies, Qualcomm is slightly better, and it can be regarded as a "long-standing" company that has been established for ten years.
