Chapter 600: Dali's Internet EmpireTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing what Wen Jianan said, everyone was instantly invigorated.
Actually, level one, two, and three of Chenhui Building were just small businesses that Hong Dali set up when he was bored. These were just a small part of what he meddled with. If these could ama.s.s so much profit, then the rest…
“Alright, Mr. Wen Jianan.” Running Dog bowed courteously and began introducing.
It was a little different this time. “Next, is a summary of Young Master's involvement in the internet.”
He continued the projection, but it was no longer Chenhui Building. In the center of the International Convention Centre, he projected a few giant words—Young Master's Internet Empire!
As an advanced Artificial Intelligence under Hong Dali, Running Dog was outstanding. He inherited statistics compilation from Ling Xiaoyi and creation from Lin Chuyin. As for the technology aspect, Lucifer tampered with it a little.
Running Dog was not just a robot that executed commands. As the absolute support of Young Master, everything Running Dog did was to Young Master Hong Dali's biggest benefit. Together with careful statistical a.n.a.lysis of Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, and Mu Tie, the following video was created!
Internet Empire!
This was their biggest dream! Just that now, it became an a.s.set of Hong Dali's!
Running Dog's voice was low and engaging, sounding like a devil from the abyss. “This, huge Internet Empire! He is all-powerful and invincible! He's close you to in your everyday life, he's strong yet his power is far beyond your imagination! He seems innocent but has cast a huge shadow on the Heavenly State's Internet. He is, Dali Empire!”
Hearing that, everyone was shocked for a while, followed by intense discussions—
“My G.o.d, their ambitions are really wild. Internet Empire, that means they want to unify Heavenly State's Internet!”
“That's right, they are really ambitious. Although Dali has undefeatable luck, would it work?”
“It's hard to say. It seems we can look forward to a good show today!”
“Aye, this Internet Empire that you speak about, how much is it worth?”
“It's hard to tell. Hong Dali's matter… forget it. Let's just see what happens.”
When everyone finally quietened down, Running Dog continued, “Firstly, the empire territory! As of September 1, 2014, the number of active users for the subsidiary Turkey reached 365 million. That is equivalent to 1.5 times the total population of Merika. Turkey's number of c.u.mulative users is 12.9 billion. That is twice the amount compared to Heaven Telecom's two major operators. Subsidiary Sangle Search Engine users reached 654 million, equivalent to almost 80% of the number of Merika's citizens. Subsidiary Jianbao Plaza, the biggest online shopping mall in the country. Where there are people of Heavenly State, there will be people receiving express delivery from Jianbao Plaza!”
Hearing that, everyone took a deep breath.
The strength of the three Internet giants combined was too scary!
It was definitely not as simple as 1+1=2. Each company had a huge number of users. With all the users added up, it was no exaggeration to say that any netizen in Heavenly State would be covered by them. Where there was internet, no one would be able to escape Dali's Internet Empire!
“It's too scary. With the three companies combined, the internet would be no one else's business in the future!”
“Yes, unifying Heavenly State's Internet, who would be able to fight this giant company?”
Everyone was discussing among themselves. But there were quite a few quick-witted people who soon saw the problem. Wen Jianan asked, “Weiguo, allow me to interrupt. I know you have become very strong after merging the three companies. But Jianbao Plaza and Turkey Software are not foundation companies of Hong Dali's companies. Sangle has also been re-organized. If it's just like that, it can't be considered an a.s.set of the new company, right?”
Since this was an a.s.set evaluation done on Hong Dali's newly established company, the a.s.sets of the merged companies could not be considered.
“This is a simple problem.” Hong Weiguo smiled. “I've thought of this. I also think that just with the merger, it's not according to the regulations. So I asked my Dali and he gave me a very good suggestion. Running Dog knows about it.”
“In that case, Ladies and Gentlemen.” Running Dog switched the projection to another scene. There was a green symbol. And below the symbol were two words, Weixin.
“Young Master's new idea, Weixin!” Running Dog's low voice suddenly became excited. “This is a free application that provides instant messaging services for smartphones. It supports cross-communication operators and cross-operating system platforms to quickly send free voice messages, videos, pictures, and texts over the internet. It also allows users to search for phone numbers and nearby users to add them to their contact list or favorites by shaking their smartphones. They can even share content with their friend groups. In a later stage, games and novels will be integrated.”
When Running Dog finished the introduction, Wen Jianan and the other magnates were all dumbfounded!
They knew that Hong Dali had plenty of ideas. But who would have thought that he would come up with such good ideas!
Weixin! Just hearing these components that Hong Dali described alone, they knew that this software would definitely occupy the entire Internet and mobile field in Heavenly State with a speed like a wildfire!
A free application for instant messaging service for smartphones!
Support cross-communication operators and cross-operating system platforms to quickly send free voice messages, videos, pictures, and texts over the network!
Free!
With the publicizing strength of the three internet giants combined…
Someone shouted, “How can that be? Hong Dali thought of such a good idea in just one night?! That's cheating!” Another person shouted, “CEO Hong, I want to buy shares for Weixin, I wan to buy shares!” “Yes, yes, we all want to buy shares!”
In this world, the three Internet giants—Sangle, Turkey Software, Jianbao Plaza—jointly created and promoted Weixin. The impact would be big enough to make one's head tingle!
“Ladies and gentlemen,” This Running Dog—whose name was absurd, but technology content was not absurd at all—was not conscious of the attention it attracted or everyone's excitement. It continued to introduce the Internet Empire. “Let us continue!”
It seemed this would not be the only surprise, there was more in store!
“The greatest a.s.set of Dali's Internet Empire is that it has an unparalleled number of users.” Running Dog projected as he spoke. “In the top five applications of the Heavenly State, Dali's empire accounts for four. They are Turkey Software, Sangle Search Engine, Jianbao Plaza, as well as Zhong Dian Website.
“Zhong Dian website is a prodigal project of Young Master Dali. The reading client of the Zhong Dian website has exceeded 76 million installations. Unique IP address has exceeded 12 million. The net profit for August has reached 200 million, and it's still increasing.
“Currently, several companies have started to compete for the copyrights of various Chinese novels at Zhong Dian website. Each novel could become mobile and computer games, adapted into movies and TV series, and adapted into comics. Or published!
“Such profit from copyrights have exceeded 100 million in August. That means, if we continue with the current situation, the net profit of Zhong Dian website for one year could exceed 4 billion!
“Such an astronomical number. In actual fact, from the beginning, Young Master had only invested…” Running Dog scanned the audience. “less than 3 million.”
Hearing that, everyone was stunned.
An investment of 3 million earned a yearly net profit of 4 billion. This jump…
That caused many people to clutch their chests and exclaim. “Oh my G.o.d, I can't take this. Young Master Dali is an alien! He invested 3 million and got a yearly net profit of 4 billion? How will others live?!” “That's right, it's just an online novel website. It could actually earn so much. My G.o.d, he's robbing!” “Don't say anymore, someone wanted to sell me an online novel website for 1 million and I ignored him! Hong Dali could earn 4 billion in one year. My entire family a.s.set is only 3 billion…”
Annual profit of 4 billion, that was definitely not a small sum.
Only members of the inner circle had a.s.sets of higher value. Most of the other outer circle members' total a.s.sets only came up to two or three billion. It seemed it was not even enough for Hong Dali's one project…
When Running Dog finished introducing the online novel website, it continued, “Empire territory, product matrix.
“Dali's Internet Empire has more than two hundred products and services, covering all areas of communication, social, gaming, news, shopping, payment, finance, security, search, and life services.
“Communication. When Weixin is launched in the future, I believe everyone has their own estimates on the outcome.
“Social. Subsidiary Turkey Software, the largest social software in Heavenly State.
“Gaming. This was donated by Young Master, I like it…” Running Dog let out robotic laughter. “Of course, in the gaming aspect, the annual +income would definitely be high. Everyone should know that.”
Nonsense. What could anyone say? Hong Dali's ability to make money…
“News. Subsidiary Turkey's portal is accessed by 5.6 million IPs, the highest in the whole country!
“Shopping, Payment, Finance. With Jianbao Plaza's status in the internet world, there's no need to say anything more.
“Search. Sangle Search Engine is the biggest in Heavenly State. It's also in the leading in terms of life services and safety-related.”
Running Dog shouted loudly, “There are only three things that cannot be avoided in the future of the internet—Life, Death, Dali!”
