What website could be more significant than the world's first website?
Zhao Ye couldn't help but wonder what he should do with this website.
After much thought, I realized that starting with a portal website was the most promising approach.
Alas, fate is cruel. It seems we can only use the "Boundless" website as our portal.
By following the will of heaven, it's easier to tell a story to shareholders and institutions, thus increasing the stock price.
Early portal websites shouldn't be too complicated; providing news, free email, BBS forums and chat rooms, and audio-visual information is sufficient.
"Well done, everyone. Next, we need to keep up the good work. First, we need to modify the website's content and turn it into a portal, providing global internet users with news, free email, BBS forums and chat rooms, and audio-visual information..."
The more Zhao Ye spoke, the more excited everyone became.
Who knew websites could do so many things!
Tim Berners-Lee was now in awe of Zhao Ye; he didn't know what words to use to describe Zhao Ye's talent.
The Chinese are so clever!
The Chinese nation has been able to nurture five thousand years of glory and leave behind a brilliant culture, which is truly extraordinary.
At this moment, Tim Berners-Lee couldn't help but want to delve deeper into Chinese culture, why China could produce such an unparalleled genius as Zhao Ye, and why China could achieve such brilliance in its 5,000-year history.
Zhao Ye glanced at Tim Berners-Lee. The guy was actually spacing out? Could it be that what he had just mentioned was too shocking? Look, even the great god from his previous life was stunned... Sigh, he should tone it down next time.
A little while later, Zhao Ye instructed Tim Berners-Lee to continue refining the browser and also to oversee the development of the Wujiang portal website.
Everyone was incredibly motivated. As soon as Zhao Ye left, they immediately got to work, and started working overtime until late at night every day.
The next day, Zhao Ye announced that Tim Berners-Lee's department would be spun off, as this would facilitate future IPOs and fundraising.
The spun-off company is called Wujiang Networks, and its main products currently include the World Wide Web, browsers, and portal websites.
To support Tim Berners-Lee in building the portal website, Zhao Ye subsequently arranged for a group of outstanding media talents from the Oriental News Agency to join Wujiang Network Company.
Just as Netscape Navigator was incredibly popular in its previous life, its popularity will only double with the support of the Wujiang Portal!
However, in order to promote the standard.
Calling it a browser directly doesn't seem like a good idea; it might offend competitors.
Therefore, the browser needs to be renamed.
As for what name to change it to, there's no rush to choose one now, since there's still a long time before the product launch.
...
The creation of the Boundless website by Tim Berners-Lee and others served as a reminder to Zhao Ye.
Right now, not many people know what a domain name is.
Currently, the total number of registered domain names worldwide does not exceed 200.
This gave Zhao Ye the opportunity to hoard domain names.
Firstly, a good domain name is like a golden signboard, allowing users to easily find the website they want in the vast ocean of the internet, which Wujiang Group can use for its own purposes; secondly, it can be sold to others at a high price, especially hoarding competitors' domain names, which is quite disgusting.
Given Zhao Ye's petty nature, he probably already had the idea of registering the domain names of companies like Motorola, Nintendo, Sega, EA, Microsoft, Apple, and IBM.
That evening, before going to bed, Zhao Ye sat down at his desk and began writing various domain names.
In addition to the domain names of the competitors mentioned above.
He is also writing some top-level domain names with nice-sounding names.
"The top-level domain 'ai' will be used in the AI industry in the future. In my previous life, OpenAI, the developer of chatgpt, paid a huge price to acquire the top-level domain 'ai'!"
"Ahem... The top-level domain ' is quite valuable. Write it down. In my previous life, a boss spent $13 million to buy this domain."
"Hehe, Alibaba's 'top-level domain' seems pretty good, and so does ''. Of course, we can't favor one over the other, '' and '' also have to be on the list..."
Zhao Ye has a somewhat perverse collecting habit, and he spent the whole night writing down the domain names of many famous companies from his previous life that have not yet been established.
He put in a lot of effort to write these domain names.
In fact, he himself was well aware that with the existence of the Wujiang Group in this life, people like Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, and Li Yanhong would probably have little chance of getting ahead.
Perhaps in the future they will all be working for Zhao Ye, enjoying the "blessing" of 996.
The next morning at 10 o'clock, Zhao Ye, with dark circles under his eyes, arrived at the company and immediately asked Liu Yinyin to register all the "domain name lists" he had written the night before.
"Liu Yinyin, have the company register all the domain names listed here!"
"Okay, boss!" Liu Yinyin took the notebook and walked outside. She glanced through it, and her expression froze for a moment before she couldn't help but chuckle. Good heavens, it seemed like all of Wujiang Group's competitors were on the list…
...
Scheming against others without them even knowing makes Zhao Ye feel incredibly good; he walks with a smile on his face.
Since very few people are registering domain names now, all the domain names Zhao Ye wrote down were registered very quickly.
The annual fee for the domain name is very low, and Zhao Ye doesn't care at all. Based on the domain names he currently owns, it is conservatively estimated to be worth more than two billion US dollars.
