Silicon Valley

　　 Cisco rented a 500-square-meter small factory near the headquarters. There is a ready-made factory building in the factory, as well as dormitories and canteens. As long as Cisco buys relevant production equipment, then recruits workers and trains them, it can produce routers. The workers didn't need much, so 20 people were recruited, and Bosak personally guided them in production. It was so busy in September that the factory finally officially started.

　　 Prior to this, Cisco also formally confirmed the registration of the trademark in the image of the Golden Gate Bridge. Each router will be affixed with a unique Cisco logo!

　　 The enthusiasm in the factory is enthusiastic, and Bosak and many R&D personnel also come to help. By October, the factory produced a total of 1,000 routers. In accordance with the instructions of Henry's major shareholders, Bosac took the R&D team to major well-known universities to "send warmth." Stanford University, University of California, Harvard University, etc.

　　Each university sent three or five routers and taught them how to install and use them. Bosak brought the team to the wind and the rain, and even had to run several times in the city a day. First ran the well-known universities in the western United States, and then ran to the famous universities in the east. When Bosak returned with the team, Henry couldn't help being surprised.

　　 I saw such a group of people, dark and thin, as if they were walking around in Africa.

　　 "Mr. Bossack, have you worked hard?" Henry said with a smile on his face, in a very sincere tone.

　　 "Haha, this hard work is nothing!" Posak shook his head and smiled.

　　 "Was the trip smooth, then?" Henry asked.

　　 "Of course!" Bosak replied excitedly, "Not only that, we also got the order!"

　　 "Oh, really!!" Henry couldn't help being a little excited about the company's first order, and hurriedly asked, "Which school placed the order?"

　　 "Harvard University!" Possack said, "We gave them a trial of the router, but unexpectedly placed an order for us on the third day."

　　 "How many routers do they want?"

　　 "Ten!"

　　 "Only ten? Why does the huge Harvard University only need ten routers?" Henry was excited but secretly disappointed.

"Haha, don't worry. The person in charge told me that these routers are now going to be used in a large research center. If the effect is good, it may be popularized by the entire Harvard University. At that time, we will not worry about no orders. !"

　　 Henry also smiled, touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and said, "Oh, that's right, it's like this, they can't use the router all at once."

　　 The entire high-end atmosphere of routers is not the best when advertising on TV. Nowadays, some schools or research institutions need routers. Therefore, Cisco's strategy is to first form a network of a school, and then radiate to the surrounding areas, allowing companies, governments, or scientific research institutions to merge into this network. Then the networks of various schools are connected together to form a network that radiates across the country, that is, the formation of the Internet.

　　 Henry suddenly felt that he was great, because what he did was a big thing!

　　 "Benefit mankind and change the world!"

　　 Soon afterwards, schools successively placed orders for Cisco, and Cisco's small factories began to get busy. The production cost of the router is US$200. After discussion, the router is priced at US$1,000. Not to mention expensive, the computer costs tens of thousands. Although there are not many orders from major schools, they are barely able to maintain the company's operations. After that, when the network becomes a certain scale, Cisco will usher in explosive development!

　　 The situation at Nicholas Bookstore is full of difficulties. The Internet has not yet emerged, and selling things online is simply unrealistic. But Henry took a different approach, recruiting some computer talents and making a browser. Um... the name is Netscape. Then I made a website and hung it up. Since there is no internet, the software is installed, and the user opens Netscape, browses the contents of the Nicholas Bookstore, and then makes purchases over the phone.

　　 looks very troublesome and cannot update the content in real time, but it is an effective "stupid method". However, this is good, Netscape will be a product of Nicholas Bookstore in the future! The future Netscape browser has a market value of billions of dollars, and it is a gateway to the Internet. Now, the time is right!

　　 Therefore, the work of the Nicholas Bookstore team is very difficult!

　　 It is a technical problem to first make a browser, and then to make a website with rich content, it will be difficult to succeed at this time!

　　 So, even though Henry opened the Nicholas Bookstore in June, he hasn’t even gotten the browser right now. However, many of these browsers have applied for a lot of related patents. This is a process from scratch, a process of groping forward, the slow speed is understandable.

However, because Nicholas Bookstore has been burning money, Henry is also a little worried. He does not know when Nicholas Bookstore will burn money. Even with the advent of the Internet, it is estimated that he will have to burn a lot of money, otherwise how to establish it. Giant status. Venture capital is not a good choice, but the time to go public and raise funds is too early. No matter how you look at it, it is most comfortable to burn your own money.

　　 But the point is that there is no money to burn! !

　　E-commerce is the most expensive thing. It burns money not only online, but also offline. The cost of buying books, building warehouses, logistics, etc. is simply confusing!

　　 Just when Henry was worried about funds, in early November, Penguin Publishing finally settled the manuscript fee for Henry. In this year, Penguin Publishing has sold more than 13 million Harry Potter books. Henry received more than ten million dollars after paying taxes.

　　 Now that a whirlwind of magic has blown across Europe, Penguin Publishing has kindly invited Henry to attend the book signing event in London.

　　 Henry thought for a while, and finally agreed to the invitation of Penguin Press.

　　 On November 15, 1985, Henry disembarked at the London airport. Unexpectedly, there were hundreds of fans at the airport welcoming him.

　　 "Henry!!! Henry!!!"

　　 "Harry Potter!!!"

　　"..."

　　 Henry, with a smile, waved hello to everyone, and with the help of the staff of Penguin Publishing House, he left the scene.

　　 After getting in the car, Henry wiped off his sweat and murmured: "Hehe, I didn't expect I was so famous already!"

A manager of Penguin Publishing House smiled and said: "Haha, of course, you are a genius boy in the UK, especially the Harry Potter story takes place in London! Therefore, the London people like you and your works most!! "The manager paused, approaching Henry and whispered, "We at Penguin Press have heard some news that it seems that Her Majesty the Queen is going to knight you!"

　　 "Knight me?!" Henry was taken aback.

　　 "Nothing comes from the ground, it may not be without cause. I think it is very likely." The manager guessed.

　　 Henry is happy, it's good to be knighted, and he immediately entered the upper class.

　　Penguin Publishing House arranged Henry in a five-star hotel, and British newspapers had begun to report that Henry had come to London. On the afternoon of the 15th, Penguin Press held a press conference to announce that Henry Williams, the author of "Harry Potter", will hold a new book signing and book sale at the London Hotel at 8 am the day after tomorrow. The fourth Harry Potter novel will be First to appear in London! !

　　 Henry attended this press conference for publicity and answered reporters’ questions.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm a reporter from The Sun. May I ask what inspired you to write? It is said that Harry Potter was created based on yourself, right? Your situation is like that. Similar!" the reporter asked.

　　 "The original purpose of writing was actually very simple, it was to make money. As for whether Harry Potter was created based on my own prototype, I think it should be." Henry thought for a while and replied.

　　 "Excuse me, you were rejected by eight British publishing houses, was it true?"

"It's true. One of the publishers kindly sent me a letter of advice, saying, "Get a job with peace of mind, writing a book to get rich is not for you." After reading it, I insisted on writing. Instead of wavering, I became more determined. I believe that I will succeed one day. Later, I did succeed and I became a favorite writer. Of course, I did not resent that publishing house, but rather Thank them so much!"

　　"..."

　　 After the press conference, the reporters rushed back to edit the manuscript.

　　 The next day, the front pages of the newspaper were all about Henry.

　　 "The signing of the new Harry Potter book on the 18th is grandly held!"

　　 "Harry Potter is the author himself!"

　　 "A genius who rejected eight times and refused to admit defeat!"

　　...

　　 On this day, the sales of British newspapers increased sharply. According to incomplete statistics, the major newspapers in the UK have printed one after another, which has increased their sales by 50% over the past. The printing presses in some factories are experiencing problems! George Mackinson, CEO of Penguin Publishing House, hosted a banquet to Henry in the evening and held a party in the luxurious lobby on the top floor of the London Hotel.

　　 In the lobby, beautiful women are like clouds, and many business partners of Penguin Publishing are present!

　　 When Henry arrived, Ma Jinsen smiled and walked over to welcome him: "Welcome to Henry the little writer!"

　　Ma Jinsen is in his thirties, young and promising, handsome and handsome, and looks very dignified in a decent suit. Penguin Press is a world-class publishing group. Ma Jinsen can serve as the CEO, and he can imagine his ability is extraordinary. Henry shook his hand and said, "Thank you."

　　Ma Jinsen smiled and said: "Henry, I am your loyal fan!!"

　　 "Hehe, isn't it, it's a great honor!" Henry smiled.

　　Makinson took Henry's hand, walked in front of everyone, and introduced: "Everyone, this is Henry Williams, the author of "Harry Potter"!"

　　 Everyone greeted Henry one after another. There were executives from TV or newspapers, as well as the owners of large chain bookstores. There are also some colleagues in UU Reading www.uukanshu.com.

　　 Henry said hello to them in a polite and gentleman manner.

　　 After the party, Ma Jinsen took Henry to a nearby private room alone. Henry knew that Mackinson must have something to say to him.

　　 As expected, Ma Jinsen said straightforwardly: "Henry, I heard that you have not authorized Asian copyrights to other publishing houses. What do you think of our Penguin Publishing House?"

　　 Henry was not surprised when he heard this. Mackinson talked to himself, nothing more than "Harry Potter". Henry pondered for a while and said lightly: "The main strength of Penguin Publishing House is concentrated in Europe, and your strength in Asia is not very strong."

　　 "You are right. However, Penguin Press has made up its mind this time and wants to spend a lot of money to open up a new situation in Asia. At that time, the "Harry Potter" series will also be popular in Asia!"

　　 "Oh, isn't it? I don't know how much money your publisher is calling for?"

　　 "One hundred million pounds!!!"

　　Damn, your publishing house is so rich!

　　 Henry was suddenly shocked.

　　 Seeing Henry’s surprised expression, Mackinson explained: “This time it is the Penguin Press’s parent company, Piersson, who has invested in it. Through the acquisition and integration of some well-known Asian publishing houses, Penguin Press’s scale and influence will be expanded!"

　　 Henry heard what he said, and he immediately understood that since Pearson had such a big deal, Henry agreed to Markinson's request: "Well, I agree to authorize the Asian copyright of Harry Potter to you."

　　 Ma Jinsen put on a smile on his face, and then signed a related agreement with Henry.
