Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Chairman Zhao, ever since the US authorities completely opened up the US market for Wujiang Group's products, countless American consumers have started a 'revenge spending' spree! In just over a month, we've generated over $35 billion in revenue in the US!!!"

"However, in order to restrict our products, the United States has raised tariffs very high, which has caused us to lose a lot of profits." Liu Yinyin sighed slightly, feeling regretful.

Zhao Ye smiled. If the United States didn't raise tariffs, Wujiang Group's products could kill many American companies.

"The tariff issue will be resolved in the future. We're already quite satisfied that we can temporarily enter the US market. However, as the saying goes, 'the wool comes from the sheep's back.' If tariffs are high, Americans will ultimately have to pay for it. There are many products from our Wujiang Group that Americans simply can't refuse..."

"Oh, right, get Alibaba, Amazon, Taobao, Alipay, Netflix, Pandora, Rotten Tomatoes, and IMDb launched in the US market as soon as possible!!! With the help of Internet Explorer and Wujiang Portal, quickly develop and expand these websites!" Zhao Ye instructed. "In addition, there are several gaming platforms, mainly Battle.net and Steam!"

“Okay, Chairman Zhao!” Liu Yinyin nodded, indicating that she understood.

Zhao Ye thought for a moment and, finding nothing amiss, let Liu Yinyin leave.

At this time, similar websites already existed in the United States; after all, Americans are also prone to plagiarism. Because the websites Zhao Ye just mentioned didn't enter the US market immediately, similar American websites captured market share, creating intense competition.

Zhao Ye was not confident that he could defeat his competitors 100% in the US market.

For these websites to win in the competition, they must receive strong financial support, which includes not only money but also various connections and influence, which can solve all kinds of problems for the websites.

Zhao Ye has come to terms with it now and no longer insists on monopolizing the company's profits. As long as the dual-class share system (A and B shares) is implemented, it will be difficult for others to take over control of the company.

By taking advantage of the dot-com bubble, Wujiang Group could cash out a large amount of funds and then use them for technological research and development, which would be a great opportunity to expand its business.

April Fool's Day, April 1, 1995.

Zhao Ye had someone release information that Alibaba, Amazon, Taobao, Flix (DVD rental website), Pandora (music website), and Rotten Tomatoes were all planning to raise funds!

This news shocked major investment banks around the world.

"It's April Fool's Day, is this news fake?" Many people expressed doubt.

Well, maybe the surprise came too suddenly, and I can hardly believe it!

Zhao Ye was truly at a loss for words. He had been on the phone all day, with numerous international investment companies calling, almost all inquiring about the veracity of the news…
