"Mr. Murdoch, I learned from the media this morning that icq has successively acquired 29 companies in a short period of one year since it went public on NASDAQ last year. What is going on?"
Zhuke chatted with Rupert Murdoch, and they came to icq.
Murdoch's complexion changed slightly.
After drinking a sip of champagne, he sighed and said: "We are also to blame for being so eager for quick success. Representatives of all parties on the board of directors determined that relying on icq's huge number of users to attract other industries can achieve rapid and large profits."
"Draining other industries, there is no problem!"
Zhuke frowned.
Icq is an instant messaging software. When the video chat and voice chat technology has not yet been implemented, text chat is mainly used. Its own means of profitability are extremely limited, and it is nothing more than the user's membership handling and the income from undertaking advertisements.
However, the number of users owned by icq is as many as hundreds of millions!
With icq chat software as the center, radiating industries such as film and television, beverages, clothing, food, games, music, etc., it is bound to attract a large number of users in a very short time, thereby achieving rapid profitability.
This is how Tencent qq group made its fortune!
"The key to the problem is that we are too anxious. Whether it is the management represented by Visger and Vardy, or the shareholder representative group of Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs and my News Corporation, they will spread too much. In one year, 29 companies were acquired all over the world, covering many industries including film and television, games, media, magazines, toys, food, clothing, finance, banking..."
Murdoch said solemnly: "Zuke, do you know how much it cost?"
"How much?" Zhu Ke was curious.
"5.8 billion dollars!"
Murdoch language is not surprising and endless.
Damn it!
At this moment, Zhu Ke, who had been accustomed to big winds and waves, couldn't help being surprised. The capital of 5.8 billion U.S. dollars completely surpassed Zhu Ke's four-year net worth.
"Impossible, the acquisition of 29 companies cost 5.8 billion US dollars?" Zhu Ke blurted out.
"No."
Murdoch shook his head and said: "The acquisition of 29 companies cost a lot of money, and the subsequent integration investment adds up to 5.8 billion US dollars. But, do you know how long Icq has not been updated?"
Zhu Ke shook his head and said: "I don't know. But when I did not leave icq and served as the chief creative officer, I have given instructions. In 2 to 3 months, icq must be updated on a small scale, and it must be done once in 10 to 12 months. Big update to keep users fresh all the time. Well, didn’t Visger do this?"
"He's a fart!"
Murdoch cursed in a low voice: "From the time of listing to the present, icq has been updated twice in 15 months, and the rate is small, and there is no creative update."
Hearing this, Zhu Ke shook his head straight.
A piece of software cannot maintain a certain degree of freshness, especially when there are other competitors, it is undoubtedly the way to die!
Moreover, Zhuke also learned from Murdoch that the board of directors is quite dissatisfied with the management teams such as Visger and Vardy.
Since the fortune of icq, Wisgram has continuously invested in new Internet companies while operating icq.
Within a year or so, the number of Internet companies invested in as many as 40; among the many companies invested in, there is a graphics processing software company, which also went public on the Nasdaq in early February this year. Weisge owns 13% of the company's shares, bringing him $40 million in profits.
Ever since, Weisger is a little bit off-putting!
"In that case, you are really dissatisfied with Visger and Vardy." Zhuke joked.
Hearing this, Murdoch gave Zhu Ke an angry look.
.......
Ended the chat with Murdoch, and in the following time, Zhuke chatted with other visitors.
IBM executives: Taiwei Schindler;
Intel executives: Smith Williams;
Hewlett-Packard executives: Dana Mlito;
Chairman of Oracle: Larry Ellison;
Dell boss: Dell;
As many as a dozen people waited and talked with Zhu Ke Commercial.
Especially Larry Ellison, he left a very deep impression on Zhuke, because his female partner is so beautiful.
"Larry, you old fellow, where did you find such a beautiful female companion?" Zhuke stabbed him with his arm.
"Ha ha!"
Larry Ellison suddenly excitedly said: "Envy. I will tell you that since the beginning of this year, I have changed 9 female partners."
"You are such a livestock!" Zhu Ke's eyebrows trembled.
"Haha, thanks for the compliment."
Larry Ellison said again: "I heard Jobs say yesterday that you increased your holdings of Apple's stock last month?"
Zhuke nodded and said, "There is nothing to hide. Although I am upset with Jobs, I am optimistic about Apple!"
Larry Ellison teased Zhuke, and in front of Zhuke, he slapped his beautiful female partner's **** severely, which made Zhuke extremely unhappy.
Old guy, what a dandy!
Looking at the big names in the Internet and science and technology fields in the United States, Larry Ellison is the most crazy about beauty. He doesn't want Jobs, Gates and others to sneak and hide, he dare to be in front of the media. Said that his biggest hobby is hooking up with beauties.
Listen, how many American billionaires are like him?
Even Zhuke is cautious when stealing food.
.......
Not long afterwards, under the auspices of Wisger, the cocktail party for the third anniversary of the establishment of icq officially began!
Wiesig made a speech in front of hundreds of guests.
"Icq was founded on May 15, 1996. It has been a bumpy and difficult road and has come to today. Everyone in our team has invested 12 points of energy. Every one of us at icq should be proud and proud."
"From the beginning there were only a few people, to today we have 27,000 employees worldwide."
"From a small company with a value of less than 1 million to a giant company with a market value of up to 7.2 billion US dollars and an instant messaging hegemon."
"From a company to a large enterprise with more than 40 subsidiaries with icq as the main body."
"Every step we take is related to the pulsation of the times and involves changes in the technological network!"
"Guests, as the chairman of icq, I would like to welcome you!"
When the voice fell, it was naturally applause.
Even though icq has been a bit bad recently, the people invited are all spectators, and they will definitely not embarrass icq and others at this time. Although I know whether icq will win this battle in the field of instant messaging.
If you win, then there will naturally be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
People who make enemies for no reason in business will never end well.
Wisig finished his speech, and as soon as he stepped off the stage, Vardy walked towards him with a sullen expression.
Vardy yelled in a low voice: "Weissg, why do you revise the speech?"
"I didn't." Weisger denied.
Wadi pulled Visg, and whispered: "I didn't make a joke with you. I mean, in the speech, you deleted all the content involving Mr. Zhuke Wald. What do you think? "
Weisger was dumb.
"Weige, you first proposed to welcome Mr. Wald to return to icq to save icq's current decline. But now, you can't hold back your face, what do you want us to do?" Vardy gritted his teeth.
Visger's heart was so angry!
He really couldn't help his face.
"Also, Visg, it's been a long time."
At this moment, a middle-aged lady came ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Her arrival interrupted the argument between Wisig and Vardy.
Suddenly, Visger ignored Vardy.
"idiot!"
Vardy looked at Wesg’s back and cursed in a low voice: "Is your face worth the money? If you don't go to Mr. Wald, then I will go! I will never let icq go into destruction!"
"Did he change his mind halfway?"
Having hindered this time, Goldfinger, one of the founders of icq, walked to Vardy's side: "He is such an indecisive master. We should not trust him at the beginning."
"Yes, if Mr. Wald had served as the chairman of icq, we would not have come to this point." Vardy sighed.
"" The second update is sent.
