India once had the opportunity to be a big and powerful country, in fact, the vast majority of countries in the world have the opportunity, but there are only so many nodes, and if you can't grasp it, you will need to spend thousands of times more effort to catch up.

The Industrial Revolution was a very important node, and the European countries that grasped this node became world powers in one fell swoop, and the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Ottoman and other countries grasped this node.

After the First World War, the United States and the Soviet Union took the opportunity to rise, and the regional powers also had a lot of strength after swallowing the East Asian Peninsula, but the center of the world at that time was still in Western Europe; After this war, the dreams of the Ottomans, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria and other countries were basically shattered.

At the juncture of World War II, the dream of a strong country in Germany and Dongying also disappeared; At this time, China was rising, and the regional powerhouse Xinguo seized this opportunity, while the Indians were still playing with the British.

The next node is the Cold War period, which is divided into two periods, the early stage is mainly the United States, the Soviet Union, and China jointly dismantling many colonies of Britain and France, the United States supported the establishment of Israel in West Asia, and the Soviet Union and China supported the new country in Oceania; After this stage, Britain and France could basically declare their withdrawal from the ranks of the great powers.

The second node is that after cleaning up Britain, France and other European countries, the United States freed up its hands and began to compete with the Soviet Union and China for the right to speak in the world, and this stage lasted until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, most of the legacy after the disintegration of the Soviet Union was eaten by the United States, a small part was eaten by China, and some of it was for European countries to take a breath.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the world situation approached nuclear peace, although the Americans greatly improved their strength after devouring the corpse of the Soviet Union, they were known as the world's hegemon, and became the leader of the martial arts alliance in the global village.

But soon after, it was stabbed in the back by the countries of West Asia, and after more than ten years, it fell into this quagmire, watching the peaceful rise of China.

During this time, European countries formed the "European Union", which involved the remaining part of the energy of the United States, and Russia, the largest inheritance of the Soviet Union, was also tossing and trying to restore the former hegemon; By fully surrendering to the United States, the Dongying people secretly have been left and right, and they have gradually risen economically; The new country is based on new technology and military, and gradually grows into a regional hegemon.

India, on the other hand, has always seemed to be dozing off, and for so many years, in the early stage of the Cold War, I don't know whether it was to take the wrong medicine or how, in a vain attempt to compete with China for the ownership of the plateau, and after being taught a lesson, it has been honest to this day.

It was not all smooth sailing for China, and the proxy wars fought with the United States, the Battle of Kyushu Island, and the Battle of North Vietnam; The Far East War with the Soviet Union finally determined the international status of China.

Now China's total economic output has officially surpassed that of the United States, which is certain, a country that is constantly developing, and has a considerable industrial population, more than a country that has not opened up the gap between science and technology, and the population is insufficient, which can be seen from the urban economy.

In terms of urban economy, in recent years, more and more enterprises in the urban public service sector have gone public.

For example, XX water, XX gas, XX public utilities, in today's stock market, similar enterprises in countless provinces and cities have now been listed on the A-share market.

There are even many enterprises responsible for garbage classification and disposal, such as environment, sanitation and other enterprises.

This can already show that the supply and treatment of water and electricity, which are related to basic life, are already quite large at this time, so that the companies responsible for this area in some cities are large enough to go public.

The business of these companies comes from the daily life of the residents of the cities where they are located; Water utilities and waste disposal companies, the more water they use and the more sewage they produce, the more profitable and larger these companies become.

Even now, the state media does not often advertise water conservation, etc.

After all, with the development of science and technology, with the application of all aspects, now the processing capacity of enterprises has come up, and I am afraid of overcapacity, I wish you could use a little more, anyway, you will pay for it yourself, especially for cities where there is no shortage of water resources.

Some experts have calculated why the GDP in the United States is so high, and they have come to the conclusion that a large part of it is that they are particularly wasteful; For example, most people can use a toothbrush for a few months, and Americans basically change it every month, so that the per capita consumption of toothbrushes is four or five times that of other countries.

A lot of things that are used repeatedly in other countries are disposable in the United States; Americans also waste food, the same three meals a day, the population of the United States is almost one-fifth of China, but the total annual consumption of food by citizens reaches as much as half of China.

In terms of water and electricity, China has crossed the era of shortage ten years ago, and this is one of the reasons for China's economic take-off; With the completion of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project five years ago, the problem of water shortage in northern China is also gradually alleviating, and the southern part of China is not short of water and can carry twice the water consumption of the current population.

Now from the perspective of agriculture, the output of staple grains in China has basically stopped growing, and most of the growth is agricultural and sideline products, such as fruits; Meat is now being imported in more and more quantities, and the total water consumption of agriculture will not increase much.

With China's industry, especially heavy industry, now going to the capacity plan, the total water consumption has also decreased, and many large water users such as paper mills and printing and dyeing factories have now moved to South Asia and Southeast Asia, so there is really no shortage of water, and domestic water can also be released.

Domestic water consumption is only about one-tenth of the total water consumption, and if industrial and agricultural water use is reduced by one-third, it does not matter if domestic water consumption is doubled.

In addition, domestic wastewater is much easier to treat than industrial wastewater, and city water utilities are now eager to see more of the wastewater coming from residents rather than factories, resulting in less and less water conservation.

Although countries around the world are advocating conservation on the surface, economically developed countries do not publicize much at all, and still expect citizens to waste a lot to promote the improvement of GDP.

After entering the era of resource abundance, the decline of the United States was obvious, and China used to need to import all kinds of goods from the United States, but now most of them do not need it; In the past, China needed to import large-scale resources, such as oil, but after the start of the new energy revolution, it has also been greatly reduced; And the new energy revolution started by China has also dealt a major blow to the United States.

The most critical thing is that the high-tech industry in the United States is also gradually declining, and in the latest ranking of Internet companies, Microsoft has lost its throne for many years and gave way to the Star Group; Among the top 10 Internet companies, the United States has gone from accounting for more than half to now only two seats.

Some time ago, Ataba announced that it would be liquidated and dissolved, and its shares in Alibaba Group would be transferred, and the value of Alibaba shares to be transferred was about $40 billion.

Ataba is the Ali dad who is jokingly called by countless netizens, it is the beautiful Yahoo back then, the founder Yang Zhiyuan, who has been regarded as an entrepreneurial idol by Ma Yun for a long time.

This means that Yahoo is likely to disappear completely from the Internet world this year.

In this world, in 2003, Yahoo invested $1 billion in Alibaba, and obtained 40 percent of the shares, and if they can be retained, these shares will be worth nearly $200 billion at the current market value.

But since the rise of the mobile Internet, Yahoo, which is difficult to protect itself, has abandoned the portal business it started and sold Alibaba's shares many times to cash out to save its life.

You must know that Yahoo at its peak, like Nokia, the hegemon in the mobile phone market, was once invincible.

Single-handedly cultivating its enemy Google, humiliating Zuckerberg, and repeatedly rejecting the olive branches thrown by the later upstarts, Yahoo is equivalent to letting go of trillions of dollars based on the current market value of Google and Renren

Yahoo is the real pioneer of the Internet age, who killed the giant Yahoo

When Yahoo first launched 20 years ago, it was arguably the coolest website in the world.

The reason why I say this is because at that time the Internet itself was still in a wilderness, and there were few users, and the total number of Internet users in the world was less than tens of millions.

And now there are more than 5 billion Internet users, which can be said to be 100 times that of that time.

At that time, most of the current Internet people and upstarts had not yet awakened; The 38-year-old Gates and Microsoft are still working with Intel; Apple is on the strand, and the 37-year-old Steve Jobs is still working on 3D animation; Alibaba is still nowhere to be found, and 30-year-old Jack Ma is still working as an English teacher; Penguins are also still in Antarctica, and 22-year-old Ma Huateng has just graduated from college; No one knew that the search engine technology would be so important, and Page was still in college; There may be fantasy stories on social networking sites, where Su Can and Zuckerberg are just kids

Yahoo's founders, Yang Zhiyuan and David Ferro, the idols of Alibaba's Jack Ma, have concocted a website that can easily categorize other websites to help users find them, the equivalent of the navigation page that was popular in China for a decade later.

At that time, the rule of the Internet was that if you wanted to use software, you had to pay first.

However, Yahoo didn't want a penny, all for free, and most investors at that time were not optimistic about Yahoo's business potential.

When Moritz, the "Godfather of Silicon Valley venture capital," first walked into Yahoo's office, he saw a sight that he will never forget

a messy room; Yang Zhiyuan and his partner sat in a small room, the server was constantly dissipating heat, the telephone answering machine rang every minute, the phone was thrown on the floor, and the whole room was not even a chair, and the room was dark and full of dirty clothes.

It is the same as the scene of starting a business in a garage or a unit building at the beginning of the founding of many great Internet companies.

free, which became Yahoo's most lethal weapon at the time; As the dad of all Internet people, Yahoo has built an advertising ecosystem.

Then in the field of e-mail, Yahoo is also king; Mailbox once had hundreds of millions of users around the world, and many Internet users started with the suffix Yahoo Mail.

And in the content field, Yahoo is also king.

Yahoo spends a lot of money on the production of original content on the site, hoping to tie users in.

The most typical is Yahoo Sports, Yahoo employs a lot of reporters, writes a lot of original articles, produces a lot of video programs, and has very professional sub-columns such as Yahoo Finance; And this has also become Yang Yi's learning object when he created Starry Sky Weibo.

Just a few years later, the vast majority of netizens have made Yahoo their homepage, and Yahoo has also become a legend in the Internet industry by launching Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Search and Yahoo Games that many people can't live without.

In 1999, Yahoo had more than 100 million users, more than all its competitors combined, and Yahoo's market capitalization reached a staggering $100 billion.

In addition, Yahoo, an old Internet company, has also created its own business model, which is to sell advertisements, whether it is classified information on the earliest portals, or current video, native and social network ads; And this has also become the economic pillar of later Internet companies.

Yahoo was the gateway to the entire Internet at that time.

The source of all Yahoo's decay is a tipping point in product search.

After 2000, Yahoo, which became a giant, began to swell, and made all the mistakes that big companies should and shouldn't make.

The light enemy personally let go of the Big Three.

In the beginning, Yahoo partnered with Google to outsource almost all of its search to Google.

The results of a search on Yahoo's website are marked with the annotation "Google Support", which helps Google promote search technology.

Yahoo was proud at the time, because Yahoo valued the huge number of hits that Google had brought to it, and Google was hopeful of becoming the next Yahoo.

A few years later, when Yahoo began to seriously consider acquiring OGE, it found that it could no longer afford it.

Yahoo, which missed Google, did not learn its lesson, and a few years later, Yahoo offered $1 billion to buy Face, and Zuckerberg agreed, and Su Can returned to China to create Facebook Chinese, and he couldn't get involved at all.

As a result, Yahoo took advantage of the situation and bargained to $8.5 billion at the last minute, which made Zuckerberg feel humiliated and tore up the agreement submitted by Yahoo in front of everyone on the board.

In the following years, Facebook also developed faster than Yahoo expected, even after the split of the two founders and Renren's acquisition of Facebook Chinese, Facebook was not something Yahoo could buy.

Some people say that everything is only three, but Yahoo doesn't have a long memory; In 08, at the beginning of the rise of the mobile Internet, Microsoft offered a high price of 45 billion US dollars, a premium of 60, and threw an olive branch to Yahoo, hoping to break Google's monopoly in the search and online advertising market through the marriage of the two, and lead Yahoo to the mobile Internet transformation.

Yahoo is still reluctant.

At this point, Yahoo has been dying all the way, and after missing search, social networking, and mobile Internet, there is no place to turn over.

Yahoo is not without money, with a $5.7 billion acquisition and a $4 billion acquisition of Ocities, both of which have been in the top five worst acquisitions in the history of the Internet.

If Yahoo had been able to spare the $1.5 billion at the time of Facebook's civil turmoil, they might have taken down the social networking site hegemon at the time for a billion dollars.

Of course, there is also a successful case, that is, Yahoo used $1 billion plus Yahoo China to exchange 39 shares of Alibaba Group, which can be said to be one of the biggest success stories of the Internet.

Alibaba Group was fledgling and in a difficult situation, and Yahoo injected capital to solve Jack Ma's urgent need.

After Jack Ma took the huge investment of $1 billion, he completely defeated eBay, eBay, HC, and Excellence.

Because of this investment, Yahoo has been able to hold on to Alibaba's stock until now.

Yahoo is a sad Internet history, but in fact, it is not the only one, in 1995, the world's top 5 Internet companies by market capitalization were all Netscape in the United States, Rentath, Axesrr, Apple.

And now, it is Huaguo's Star Group, Chen Guo's Renren.com, the United States' Microsoft, the United States' OGE, and Chen Guo's Amazon.

In contrast, none of them can maintain the peak of the year; This is the same as the decline of the United States, a hundred years ago, it was the era of the British Empire, and the British Empire naturally occupied the first place in the top of the corporate rankings at that time.

Since the beginning of the new century, the number of enterprises in China among the world's top 500 companies has been increasing every year; On the other hand, the number of enterprises in other small and weak countries is decreasing every year.

Or take India as an example, there used to be many Fortune 500 companies in India, but now there are only a few left, and all of them are Chinese industries.

This is also a manifestation of India's declining national power, although it seems that GD has been improving, but compared with the real power, the gap is getting farther and farther.

As an ancient country with a heritage, in the era of revival of aura, after the birth of transcendental, India still has a chance, but with the outflow of talents and the arrival of lawbreakers from various countries, this opportunity for India is gone.

Recently, Indians are distressed by the turmoil in the country, and the loss of the pharmaceutical industry, the economic pillar, has also had a chain reaction.

There have been frequent attacks everywhere, and recently even the personnel of the Mission have been gradually withdrawn, and the weapons that countries are now selling are not working, and the civilian casualties caused by their own weapons against extraordinary people are even greater.

When he knew that the Star Group was willing to sell the mecha, he immediately contacted the business department of the Star Group.

Not only India, but also the Middle East's big dog family is also very strong, the popularity of new energy is not high now, oil is still very valuable at this time, and the big dog farmers also need some weapons and equipment to deal with extraordinary people.

The power of the tank is very great, and the ordinary transcendents can't fight it at all, but the difficulty and flexibility of the tank's operation are not satisfactory, and the mecha can be used by individuals, which is safer than the guards, so the big dogs have also come to compete with the Indians for these mechas.
