Chapter 280 Netscape Navigation, the brave man turns into a dragon

Netscape users were surprised to find that after opening the Netscape browser, a navigation page would automatically refresh.

Like all original websites, the navigation page is very rough, but without more choices, they were immediately attracted to several websites below the navigation.

Nearly twenty hyperlinks in various categories can meet their various needs!

The most conspicuous thing is Yahoo's search box, where they can search for all the information they want to search for.

At this time, most of the search engines were machine-directed, which was very unfriendly to users. It often took a lot of effort to find what you wanted.

But Yahoo is different. Yang Zhiyuan, a doctoral student at Stanford, spends a lot of time manually editing and searching information every day, and its performance is several times better than competing products.

In the budding search engine, there were no rivals.

At the end of 1995, the first generation of Internet users finally experienced the joy of surfing the Internet with the help of Netscape Navigation.

Clark and Andre were also extremely excited.

It’s not just that they’re happy charging advertising fees.

But they finally had a reason for people to keep using Netscape.

Background data shows that nearly [-] million users open the Netscape Navigation homepage every day, and the frequency of use is very high.

Moreover, the navigation page makes it more convenient for users to surf the Internet. The average time spent using Netscape Browser has suddenly increased to 3 hours per person!

Such horrific retention made the founding team panic.

This happiness came too suddenly.

"Advertising sponsors are also very satisfied with our traffic diversion service. Amazon's online transaction volume has reached a new high, and Yahoo's engine market share has reached a new high..."

Advertising investors originally joined Netscape's Navigation Alliance with the attitude of giving it a try, but now they all feel the charm of a surge in pageviews.

The daily active users of Paramount’s official website exceeded the 500 million mark.

"Mr. Wang, what should we do next?"

“The navigation page is still too rough, and it lacks some timely news.”

"Timely news?"

Having been with Wang Lei for a long time, Clark is somewhat able to keep up with Wang Lei's leaping thinking, and knows that adding some of the latest breaking news to the homepage will once again increase user retention and usage time.

"But we're not in the radio and television news business?"

"Haha, isn't it me? I developed the news page on Paramount's official website. You can directly hyperlink to Paramount News."

Clark nodded, this was indeed a win-win solution.

In this way, the Netscape homepage can use Paramount's latest timely news, and Paramount News can also get a lot of exposure and clicks.

In the tense atmosphere of the lawsuit between Paramount and Microsoft, Netscape released its latest month's financial report.

Netscape Browser has made a net profit for the first time since its establishment!

Profits were as high as $1700 million.

This is not the most critical thing. Netscape's various data have experienced explosive growth.

In just half a month, Netscape added 600 million users.

Moreover, the daily daily activity increased by an astonishing 230% year-on-year last month, and the usage time increased by more than 3 hours per person.

People feel like their memories are garbled.

I clearly remember that the Netscape browser lost its only profit point not long ago, so it found a new way to make money so quickly?

Looking at the financial report, it seems that I have earned more than before.

The growth in usage time and daily activity has allowed people to see the explosive potential of Netscape Browser.

Although Clark said nothing, this financial report slapped many people in the face.

Then the capital and investors panicked. They had just sold Netscape's shares not long ago.

They immediately realized that this was a conspiracy hatched by Cayman Capital and the White Dragon Consortium.

They are also making trouble by badmouthing Netscape and crying wolf, just to trick them into selling Netscape stock.

At this time, it was too late for them to regret, because Netscape's stock had the craziest week since its listing.

The beautiful country's stock market has no daily limit, and Netscape's stock price has reached a new peak - US$100 per share!

Netscape's stock price was like flying on a plane. The increase was so dramatic that many old men and women almost went to the hospital because of their excitement.

At this time, the investment craze in the beautiful country was at its craziest. Old men and women with pensions and various savings became the main force in investment. They did not understand what the Internet was and what a browser was.

All I know is that Netscape's stock is rising the fastest and craziest, so just follow it and buy it.

As a result, Netscape's stock price has a tendency to exceed $120.

This craze reached its peak with the demise of stock god Buffett.

Buffett's private investment company holds a sign on the New York Stock Exchange.

Unknowingly, his old man already holds 5.13% of Netscape's stock.

In an interview with financial reporters, Buffett also said with a smile:

"Netscape is becoming a new giant. To put it another way, Netscape already has all the potential to become an Internet giant. What it lacks now is just time."

Buffett was upset when he said this. He missed the best opportunity to invest in Netscape.

Netscape's free strategy made him smell a conspiracy. He just waited and watched for a while. After seeing Netscape quietly launch the navigation homepage, he realized that the shareholders behind Netscape were playing a big game.

Without any hesitation, he asked the company to start vigorously acquiring Netscape stock before seeing any financial reports.

"Aren't you a little exaggerated?"

Faced with the reporter's straightforward question "Did you receive money?"

He responded with a straight face:

"Netscape's navigation homepage is undergoing an Internet revolution, and it is challenging the monopoly of Microsoft and AOL, the old technology giants.

Let me put it in words that you can understand. Even if Netscape's browser business fails, Netscape's navigation homepage will become an indispensable presence in the lives of Internet users.

What's more, Netscape may not lose in the browser war! "

His words sent Netscape's stock price soaring again.

And Microsoft, which is caught in a monopoly lawsuit, faces an even more troublesome problem:

Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives are trying to launch an investigation into Microsoft's monopoly in key areas.

Gates also received news in advance that the antitrust team may soon join Microsoft!

Gates immediately gave a speech, saying that Microsoft did not have a monopoly in the global operating system market, and the 95 system only accounted for 20% of the global share.

After delivering his speech, he quietly flew to the headquarters of Wang Group in Hong Kong City.

Wang Zhengyi was also caught off guard. He also knew the inside story of the lawsuit between Netscape and Microsoft. He didn't expect that his son would push the richest man to this point.
