In its original history, Netscape achieved a sales miracle through the spread of word-of-mouth within the Internet.

As a generation in the Internet era, Netscape has created many firsts. It was the first to realize online promotion and the first to realize online sales.

Li Yuan’s parallel lines imitate this pattern.

Through the Trojan horse program, more than 700,000 email mailboxes have been collected so far, which is almost more than half of the existing users. Is it difficult to cover all Internet users in a short time?

Of course, since there is already mosaic browser, which is the junior version of Netscape browser, Li Yuan does not want to make too much noise in the face of such a strong competitor.

As the saying goes - enter the city quietly, no one wants to shoot.

Try to seize market share as much as possible before competitors discover it.

Therefore, after establishing the company headquarters in a remote building in Orange County, Li Yuan first made internal arrangements and arranged for Elna to come over.

Then he issued a recruitment order on bbs, hoping to have Daniel and Mavericks join him.

However, no other programmers responded. Their own income is relatively high, and they have no interest in this kind of newly established company. There are too many small companies disappearing in Silicon Valley in an instant. Besides, it is impossible for Li Yuan to be on BBS.

Revealed that he was going to make a browser.

Only newcomers like Martin are easy to fool. Of course, he was originally attracted by the weekly salary of US$1,000 because he had only graduated from high school and his income was not high.

In the initial stage, Li Yuan has already developed the Parallel Line Browser and has more than 700,000 email boxes, so he does not need a large team. A few people are enough. Even if there is a shortage of manpower in the future, at most Huo

Let's find a few more handymen.

In such silence, many Internet users received an email:

Parallel Network Technology has developed the latest Parallel Browser to bring you a supreme Internet surfing experience. It is divided into free trial version, paid premium version and packaged luxury version. The charging standards are as follows...

In fact, there is no difference between the free trial version and the paid premium version. At most, a few small functions are added. However, the current software sales are like this. They basically rely on the installation floppy disks sold to collect money. The other is the enterprise user license. That is

Another charging standard.

Perhaps later in China, users had already become accustomed to using it for free, and there were even a lot of pirated copies. But in Europe and the United States during this period, this sales model was basically the same.

This is just like the future online game industry. Foreign countries are accustomed to paying to download, but domestic games are almost all free, but they require recharge. These are two profit models.

Here, Li Yuan is just doing as the Romans do and adopting this charging model. If you give it for free, it would be weird. How can you keep a low profile?

As for the packaged deluxe version? It’s actually the premium version, plus a discount coupon for creating a homepage.

We can help you create a very simple personal homepage. To create the simplest personal homepage, a discount coupon plus a dozen dollars is enough. You can also create a fully functional corporate homepage. You can even outsource the construction of the company's LAN server. The cost is just

There may be no bottom.

Now that you already have a browser, you should also need to create a homepage, right?

In fact, Li Yuan has never thought about making money through the homepage, but only provides some value-for-money services. Because this is not the point.

Even browsers are a way to make quick money. Making a homepage is cumbersome, has little technical content, and doesn’t cost much money. It’s repetitive work, so I don’t care much about it.

Just like that, suddenly, a parallel line appeared on the Internet inexplicably!
