"Garden of Eden officially opened a new era of the Internet! "Just when the spring came to the United States, the Wall Street Journal published a news on the front page, and his accompanying picture quoted the picture at the press conference held by Carroll on behalf of Eden the day before.

In this article, the chief critic of the Wall Street Journal rarely sings the praises of an Internet company. You must know that it was he who was pessimistic about the Internet company a few months ago, saying that this is the beginning of a new wave of bubbles. Most Internet companies cannot find a point of profit. For a commercial company, no matter how much attention it receives and how many groups it has, the biggest problem is that it cannot make a profit.

But obviously, the biggest trouble and shortcoming of all Internet companies is finally made up for by the online advertising alliance founded by Eden, which also declares that Internet companies are no longer companies that only burn money but cannot provide profits. It will greatly promote the big, leap and advance of the Internet industry. It is conceivable that after this, the Internet industry will experience a blowout development.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to call Eden the savior of the Internet industry. Naturally, this major change will also greatly enhance the commercial value and industry status of Eden itself.

It has to be said that Eden's quiet move has changed the development of an industry, and it has also caused countless Wall Street investment companies that were not optimistic about the Internet industry to turn their attention to Internet companies again.

……

And the source of all this was yesterday, when Carol Anderson, the general manager of Eden Browser Company, the leader of the Internet, officially held a press conference and announced through the media that the online advertising alliance founded by Eden was officially established!Since then, Internet companies have officially entered the era of profitability.

The online advertising alliance is a collection of network media resources (mainly various commercial websites) to form an alliance. Through the platform established by the alliance, it helps advertisers realize advertising delivery, and conducts advertising data monitoring and statistics. Advertisers follow the network advertising The actual effect of the online advertising organization that pays the advertising fee to the affiliates.

In fact, to put it simply, it is to use a platform to connect advertisers who need to advertise and affiliates (profitable websites) who need to make profits, creating a win-win approach.

We must know that in the early days of the Internet, with more and more netizens, the Internet industry, which should have been prosperous, developed slowly because it could not find a profit point. Except for Eden, which was thriving, there were no other eye-catching commercial Internet companies. .

The main profit of Eden is in the sales and installation of floppy disks and enterprise users. Although there are tens of millions of users and almost monopolizing the entire Internet browser market, the annual profit is only tens of millions, which is comparable to its stock price. There is a huge gap between the ratio, and it was even called a bubble company at one time. A slight change in the market may lead to a sharp drop in stock prices and the risk of bankruptcy of the company.

However, it is obvious that Eden is not reconciled to this result. Under the circumstances that no one thought of, he found another way and saw a huge profit point for Internet companies-advertising.

You must know that like the Garden of Eden, millions of people access the Internet through it every day, and the number of clicks exceeds tens of millions.

What a huge amount of data this is. You must know that in the United States in the 90s, not all people can use computers, but most of them are consumer groups, which are the most favorite groups for advertisers.

For such a huge group, let your products appear in the corner of their sight every day, even if they are forced to see them for a short time every time, but as long as they enter the sight, they will form an impression, and naturally achieve the effect of advertising over time.

It can be said that such a simple truth has not been thought of for a long time, but Eden has achieved it, and he will definitely change the entire Internet pattern. From then on, commercial Internet companies will no longer only burn money, but Unprofitable tasteless company.

Affected by this, the stock of Eden rose sharply and regained a market value of 30 billion US dollars. In the following month, it broke through again and again and directly exceeded 40 billion US dollars. Even a large number of media predicted that the market value of Eden will exceed 50 million within this year. The level of [-] million US dollars is really shocking.

The original IPO plan was not so smooth, and after the launch of the advertising alliance, the wave was enthusiastically received by Wall Street. Countless well-known financial companies were willing to handle listing matters for it, which can be described as a desperate counterattack.

……

However, it is clear that Eden did not want to stop there. At the beginning of April, Eden announced that it would officially provide the latest version of enterprise application software. In terms of stability, it surpasses the first version, filling several bugs in the first version, and at the same time, the function has been greatly improved, and it has begun to distance itself from the normal version.

This enterprise version of the Eden browser received a super high score of 4.9 points (out of 5 points) from the authoritative weekly magazine, and its response was to harvest a contract of more than 1 million US dollars in just one month.

Eden’s big moves in the spring of 1995 won great praise from the industry. Many financial magazines called it the “Microsoft of the Internet.” To achieve a partial replacement, economic publications represented by Fortune Magazine began to shout that 'the era of Microsoft/the era of operating systems is over', the Internet will officially enter the era of browsers, and Eden is about to lead this incredible and crazy era.

At the same time, some financial analysts also took actions one after another. They began to remove Microsoft's stock from the recommended list. For a while, Microsoft felt quite jittery.

The entire market is gradually abandoning Microsoft. Under the influence of this trend, the stock price began to drop sharply. The company's valuation fell by tens of billions in just three days. The most terrifying thing is that this drop did not There is no stopping trend, and even with the transfer of various media, it will expand more and more. If Microsoft continues to remain silent, then the losses it suffers will be unbearable to its shareholders.

The pressure from many shareholders is difficult even for Bill, so after a few more days of emergency negotiations, Microsoft finally decided to make a statement.

In fact, for Bill, this point in time is extremely embarrassing, as long as it lasts for a few months, after win95 is released, he will have absolute confidence to resist all adverse news, because he has great confidence in Windows95 , I believe it can help Microsoft to turn the tide, but the stock market is attacking them at this inconsequential time point. Whether it is talking harshly or drawing a big picture for the shareholders to imagine the future, there is no real thing to support them. He even suspected that this was Eden's conspiracy, and deliberately selected this time point to force Microsoft.

But no matter what the conspiracy theory is, Microsoft has to take actions to appease the stock market. After several days of discussions, they decided to carry out counterattack tactics against the aggressive Eden to force the opponent to retreat and gain breathing room for themselves. With the release of Windows 95, they believe that Microsoft, which will be free at that time, will not have too much difficulty in dealing with a new Internet company that has only been established for a few years.

Ever since, they urgently contacted and invited hundreds of journalists and analysts, directly announcing that their new generation of software, Windows 95, will be officially launched on August 8 this year. 25-bit x95 support, using Intel's 16 processor, and will bring a more powerful, more stable, and more practical desktop GUI.

In addition, the Windows95 version will have more programs and accessories than the Windows3.

The release of this series of functions and programs immediately heated up the atmosphere at the scene. Countless reporters have started to record frantically on their notebooks. Compared with the previous version, Windows95 will have major changes and improvements, and may even set off a huge change in the operating system, changing the current operating system power situation.

However, despite this, it is a picture after all, Bill wants to show it, but although the current Windows95 framework has been set up, but because it has changed a lot compared to the previous version, so the bug is also extremely Too many, he doesn't want to show all kinds of weird bugs from the beginning of the demonstration. Don't publicize it and fail to achieve it, but it will be bad if it has the opposite effect.

So after finishing the news about the Windows95 operating system, they quickly announced that they had acquired the first-generation graphics browser mosaic as early as last year, and hired the founder of the mosaic browser to develop a new generation of mosaic browser. In the research and development work, in the uncertain time in the future, the company will attack from all directions to provide a better, faster, and absolutely free browser.

This earth-shattering news spread throughout Wall Street in an instant. At this time, the media began to dig out news about mosaic, and knew that there was another graphical browser that appeared in the era when the Garden of Eden was born, and Microsoft even It was premeditated, and if it wasn’t for being forced by Eden this time, the direct battle with the new generation of Internet king——Eden would not have been announced so soon.

After Microsoft's press conference ended, countless media attentions were all focused on the direction of Eden. They were all looking forward to how Eden would respond to Microsoft's blowing the horn.
