Chapter 667: Survival by docking
Facebook's future...is bound to be bright.
Even in terms of market value, the entire New Global Group is no match for Facebook.
However, if Dunn wants to get the most benefit from the facebook project, the best way is to invest through the New Global Group instead of personal investment.
Starting a business is extremely risky. Ninety-nine out of 100 will fail, especially in the Internet industry.
Even if Dunn invests enough capital to cooperate with Mark Zuckerberg, it is impossible to control all the shares of Facebook, and he must take part of the dry shares as the price for his risk-taking business.
However, under the name of New Universal Group, it is different.
To create a website in the name of New Universal Group, for Mark Zuckerberg, there is no entrepreneurial risk, not to mention the high salary, and he can also get the shares of New Universal Group.
The risk of the website is too great, but how can there be any risk in the shares of New Universal Group?
Furthermore, only by linking Facebook to the New Universal Group, can New Universal's greatest resource advantage in the entertainment industry be brought into play and open up the frontier of social networking.
Under the circumstance that portal sites are dominated by Yahoo and search engines are dominated by Google, the development of the Internet... It seems that there is only one big sector left - social entertainment.
Both msn and icq are chat tools, but the social attributes are too narrow and too personal.
Dunn's proposal is to build a public-oriented social platform similar to fas**, and it is an online platform, which is more operability anytime, anywhere.
There are no obstacles to this entrepreneurial proposal.
Dunn quickly received a reply - Mark Zuckerberg is willing to cooperate!
However, in the short term, he does not plan to give up his studies, at most he will take a year off to see the aftermath.
If the website is reliable, drop out completely; if it is not reliable, go back to Harvard to continue studying.
For the next contact, Dunn doesn't have to show up in person.
He had a meeting with the top executives of the interactive entertainment division to popularize the concept of facebook, and then just let Kevin Turner reach out to Mark Zuckerberg.
Of course, in order to show the importance he attaches to the facebook website, Dunn also called Mark Zuckerberg and told him that if there was a disagreement during the creation of the website, he could bypass the executives of the interactive entertainment department. , report directly to him.
In the past life, the peak of entertainment companies, the market value is about 150 billion US dollars, such as Disney, such as Comcast, such as Netflix.
In this life, Dunn created the New Universal Group, which also integrated Netflix, Blizzard and other companies.
He was once confident that he could lead the new global group to increase the market value to 300 billion US dollars!
Rao is so, the market value of 300 billion US dollars... Compared with those Internet giants, there is still a big gap.
Not even in the top ten in the world.
This is really the tragedy of the entertainment industry.
However, now with facebook it is different!
If facebook and Netflix, the two big Internet companies, can develop as they did in the previous life...then New Universal Group will not be afraid of any opponents!
Even Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have competitive capital!
With the appearance of Mark Zuckerberg, Dunn's ambitions suddenly became bigger.
It seems that the position of the leader of the entertainment industry can no longer satisfy him.
He wants to become the **** of the media field!
For example, Steve Jobs in the field of electronics, Warren Buffett in the field of investment, Bill Gates in the field of PC computers, Elon Musk in the field of aerospace...
With facebook, it is equivalent to having a ladder of conferred gods!
When Dunn returned to Los Angeles, the incident in New York was exposed unexpectedly.
First published by the heavyweight newspaper The New York Times!
The article was written by two reporters after in-depth investigation and writing, telling the story of a poor Italian boy named Raffaello Farrieri who came to the United States to defraud by taking advantage of the business opportunity of the church to sell real estate.
He wants to pursue Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway to gain greater popularity, to gain the attention of more wealthy people, and to get more investment.
Unexpectedly, Anne Hathaway was Dunn Walker's good friend. After Dunn found out about this, he immediately discovered the strangeness of it.
After some investigation, it turned out that Rafael Farrieri's words were full of lies. Then decisively call the police and notify the police.
A well-planned business fraud involving real estate, finance, churches, celebrities, rich people, and politicians, the whole big layout has just begun, and Tang En has smashed the bottom.
Anne Hathaway also specifically accepted an exclusive interview with The New York Times: "To be honest, he gave me a good first impression, sincere, sincere, sunny and handsome. But... I always feel that something is wrong, he always He kept showing off in front of me how rich he was, with private jets and private yachts. If it is really a relationship, do those material conditions matter?"
"I have come into contact with some rich people, including Dunn, who is in the top five of the Forbes rich list. They give people the feeling... They are always so gentle and like a spring breeze. You can always learn a lot in front of them. thing."
"Especially Dunn, I know that there are his fans all over the world, and they are full of admiration for him. However, I still have to say, this is far from enough, really, far from enough! Only the real contact with him, That's how amazing he is."
"Yeah, I told him what I had in mind. You know, Kate... oh, it's Oscar winner Kate Winslet. Isn't she married and having kids? You know that. Let's go together, friends. Looking at her, I told my troubles. As a result, many people, including Dunn and Leonardo, felt that the problem was very big. "
"Then you will know, Dunn investigated the details of Rafael Farrieri through his relationship, and the result...he really is a liar! Taking this opportunity, I also want to warn all my colleagues, in material and In the face of wealth, if you can keep yourself clean and not be happy with things or be sad about yourself, you can have your own brilliance."
Dunn laughed dumbly after reading the report.
This Anne Hathaway is really articulate.
If he hadn't intervened in this matter, Anne Hathaway would probably have been eaten without bones!
Fortunately, now Anne Hathaway and Natalie Martinez have been arranged by Dunn into Villa 2 of King's Landing to be with Monica Cruz.
As long as there is time... Dunn will go over and enlighten them.
Woman, if you only recognize money blindly, you will fall into the abyss sooner or later.
At this time, Kevin Turner hurriedly came to Dunn's office.
"What's the matter? That kid Mark is disobedient?"
Dunn was very surprised.
At Kevin Turner's level, the usual little things don't make him so frizzy at all.
All I can think of...is the website that Dunn will focus on creating next - facebook.
Kevin Turner shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with Mark, that kid... don't look young, but he is really good. I chatted with him a few times, and he has a lot of ideas! Facebook's domain name, we also use $2 million for the domain name. The price was bought."
"Then you are?"
"It's Netflix!"
"Netflix?" Tang En was slightly startled, a little puzzled.
Since New Universal acquired the imdb website from Amazon and then integrated it into Netflix's system, Netflix's development has become more and more rapid.
At the beginning of the year, Netflix's membership users were only 2 million, but now in October... Netflix's subscribers have reached 5.26 million!
It was definitely a huge success!
Netflix's current subscription fee is $20 per month. (It's actually $19.98, which is the monthly rental price for DVDs)
Not counting advertising revenue, with such a huge number of subscriptions, Netflix's annual subscription revenue can reach 1.26 billion US dollars!
Is there an enemy in front of Netflix?
Kevin Turner said: "It's Blockbuster!"
"Basida?" Dunn's face showed a bit of mockery, "What? Was it spun off by Viacom Group and got a new life?"
Kevin Turner shook his head and said: "Because of the separation from Viacom, the pressure on Blockbuster to survive suddenly increased, so it had to make some desperate moves to fight for life. Blockbuster's share price continued to Down, everyone understands that Blockbuster is overtaken by Netflix...it's just a matter of time."
"The dog jumps over the wall?" Tang En's face showed a bit of solemnity, "The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and Blockbuster is still the largest video tape and DVD rental company in the world. We can't be sloppy."
"I know ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so I'm here to ask you what you mean. We've already got the news, and Blockbuster... is also going to implement a monthly membership system."
"what?"
Dunn's eyes widened.
Blockbuster also played a monthly subscription system?
This hand is really hard enough!
In the past, 30% of Blockbuster's revenue was late fee income, that is, the penalty for overdue return.
If the monthly membership system is adopted, it is equivalent to giving up this late fee income.
This is a bold and ruthless decision!
At present, the rental business of video tapes and dvds has reached saturation and there is no room for growth.
With the rise of Netflix, the United States is severely criticizing the late payment policy. If Blockbuster does not make changes, its performance can only continue to decline.
And then overtaken by rising stars.
After losing Viacom's asylum, I didn't expect that Blockbuster came to a trick to survive!
Abandon late fees and change to the monthly system!
It is estimated that it also saw the huge temptation of Netflix's more than 5 million members.
Moreover, the number of users continues to increase.
The future is so bright!
As long as the monthly subscription system can be developed, it will be a new lifeline for Best.
One and the other.
If the opponent is stronger, the strength of Netflix will be weakened.
Under the firm promotion of Tang En, the New Universal Group has devoted a lot of effort to the future of Netflix, even betting on the future Internet speed and streaming media business. Streaming rights.
If at this time, Netflix is facing a strong impact from Blockbuster, I am afraid it will not be wonderful.
Kevin Turner looked solemn and said, "Boss, there is even worse news."
