Silicon Valley

Chapter 48: IMDB listed

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

   The IMDB website has a very large influence in the film and television industry, and it is an indispensable part of the current movie public opinion! Among them, the main profit of IMDB website has 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 check how much users of all ages like various types of movies, so that film companies can formulate strategies to decide what types of movies to shoot!

   Three is a commercial advertisement!

  Fourth is to provide content services to traditional media.

   Five is to make money by selling movie DVDs. IMDB is not powerful enough now. After it is powerful, you may be able to book tickets directly online and realize the online and offline layout!

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

   However, at this stage, the IMDB website does not make much money, because there are too few users, and then all kinds of expenses have to be eliminated. No loss is already considered! Fortunately, Henry opened the cheat sheet to find so many profit points, otherwise the IMDB website would definitely lose money!

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

   Internet concept stocks are suddenly enthusiastically sought after by Wall Street investors. As an Internet company, AOL has naturally benefited from it. The market value has soared, breaking through to US$7 billion for the first time!

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

   Subsequently, Henry received the data from the domain name management company: "On the second day of the IMDB website listing, a total of more than 1,000 domain names applied for registration!"

   Henry was taken aback when he heard the news!

   It seems that everyone is jealous!

   Internet meat is not so easy to eat!

   There is no traffic, even if you set up a website, you can only lose money in the end! Broadband, servers, staff expenses, etc. are not small sums! Of course, if it can be listed for financing, it will be another matter!

   Henry doesn't care about these, anyway, the domain name management company and Noah's Ark have made a lot of money!

   If you apply for a domain name, you will receive one hundred dollars, and one thousand will cost one hundred thousand dollars. In the future, you will have to pay a management fee of 50 dollars per year. The domain name management company just sits and collects money!

   In the following days, many people applied for domain name registration every day. On such days, I feel soft when I receive money...

   Noah’s Ark’s server hosting business also surged suddenly, and many server sites established in the United States began to fill up. Noah's Ark has decided to expand more sites to meet user needs! Of course, the servers are also sold a lot! The web Ark series of servers have been updated, and the second generation has been launched, with better performance and more affordable prices. It just happens that this time the Internet concept stocks are booming, and countless people have begun to get involved in the Internet industry. Only 400 units were sold, and a server sold for 50,000 US dollars, a net profit of 20,000 US dollars, a profit of 8 million! Subsequent orders continued to flow, and the second-generation server of Web Ark became the most popular server at the moment!

   After IMDB went public, the website sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and Noah's Ark began to reverse its losses and generate profits! The competition between servers has become increasingly fierce, but for now, 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 by companies such as IBM, HP, and Dell!

  Noah's Ark company attaches great importance to technology, and its proportion of technology investment accounts for 40%, which is why Noah's Ark can always lead! Among them, Henry even pointed out the direction of R&D for them, which made them avoid corners, and they were almost engaged in development. No matter how good IBM is, it can't be too good...

  Moreover, the research and development of the blade type server has made great progress. Once it succeeds, it will be a milestone! Banks, telecommunications and financial institutions or Internet data centers will definitely choose blade servers, because the main structure of this server is a large main chassis with many "blades" plugged into it. Each blade 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, serve different user groups specified, and are not related to each other. Moreover, the system software can also be used to aggregate these motherboards into a server cluster. In the cluster mode, all blades can be connected to provide a high-speed network environment, share resources, and serve the same user group. Inserting new blades in the cluster can improve overall performance.

  Blade server has so many advantages, it will be the trend of future server development! While other companies are still making tower and rack servers, Noah's Ark has already begun to take the lead!

   With the listing and financing of Nicholas Shopping Network and IMDB, Henry's worth soared. If it were revealed, everyone would be shocked!
