Vol 3 Chapter 749: Skype Internet phone listed
"Hollywood starts with animation (
Europe, Luxembourg.
Starship Technology Headquarters.
The company is a technology company established in 2000 with a capital of approximately US$5 million at the beginning of its establishment. Looking at Luxembourg, it is still a good company. Of course, if it is converted to the whole of Europe, it is not enough.
but!
Many big bosses in Europe know the existence of Starship Technology...
Because Starship Technology belongs to Zhu Ke.
At the same time, it is also the only company headquartered in Europe among Zhuke's industries. Moreover, former Starship Technology CEO Nicklas Zenstrom, his job-hopping incident directly triggered the war between Zucker and Barclays Bank of the United Kingdom, which shocked Europe at that time.
Since the establishment of Starship Technology, it has mainly released a peer-to-peer transmission software called Kazaa (similar to Baidu Netdisk). So far, it has more than 8 million users worldwide.
However, the reality is cruel!
The Kazaa software, which has 8 million users, cannot bring enough profit to Starship Technology. It is still operating at a loss so far, and the company's overall estimated market value has been greatly damaged.
Since its establishment 2 years ago, it has lost more than 7 million U.S. dollars!
It is thanks to Zhu Ke that he has invested many times regardless of profit, otherwise, Starship Technology would have gone bankrupt!
Wesley Abbott, a well-known Wall Street financial expert, once said in a TV show: "I personally admire Mr. Zhuke Wald's management methods and investment philosophy. Since his debut, whether in film and television The entertainment industry, publishing industry, technology, construction engineering, food and beverage, finance and other fields have all made amazing achievements."
"Wold Pictures, Water World Animation Company, Under Armour Sporting Goods Company..."
"Even the most inconspicuous drinking water and wine projects, he has been playing around."
"but!"
"The proverb tells us that no one is omniscient and omnipotent."
"Starship Technology, headquartered in Luxembourg, Europe, is a failure in Zucker Wald's life!"
Financial expert Wesley Abbott;
This variety show talk show;
Starship Technology;
No matter how you look at it, this is an extremely common thing, and it cannot attract the attention of a sufficient number of audiences. However, it involves the super-rich Zhuke, so it almost becomes extremely eye-catching!
"It turns out... Mr. Wald actually has an industry in Luxembourg in Europe?"
"But it looks like it is operating at a loss."
"The little financial superman, the little TV emperor, the genius director, the big villain, etc., Zhuke Wald, who has so many titles, is not all-knowing and omnipotent. This is not ~ this starship technology company, it is enough to explain Everything is gone."
Many people talked about it.
After a meal, Starship Technology has directly become a shame and taint among Zhu Ke's various industries, and it has become the existence that grandma does not care for uncles.
Many people firmly believe: "It is estimated that Zhuke Wald himself has given up on it."
"That's right!"
Someone provided proof, saying: "Zuke Wald stays in Los Angeles all year round. During most of the working hours of the year, he sits at the headquarters of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group and often inspects various industries under his name. , LinkedIn, the NBA Warriors game scene, etc., have seen him more than many times, but what about Starship Technology in Europe?"
"It is said that in the two years since Starship Technology was established, Zhuke Wald only visited once, and it was because of the job-hopping incident of former CEO Nicklas Zenstrom."
With a lot of evidence...
All things said, Zhu Ke seemed to have forgotten Starship Technology.
One month
Two months
Half a year
One year
Over time, many people have directly forgotten Starship technology.
As for the point-to-point transmission software of Kazaa, the company's first product, although it has as many as 8 million users, it is the first to create a network form of point-to-point transmission, but it has long been given by other companies' similar software. Beyond the.
.......
Starship Technology Headquarters.
"Will the world forget us?"
"Mr. Wald forgot us?"
"Do not!"
"I tell you that in the morning three days later, our boss Mr. Zhuke Wald will personally lead the team. You heard it right, that is, come to our Starship Technology headquarters in person!"
The company's second CEO, Janus Fries, looked around the crowd with an unusually high tone.
As soon as the voice fell, everyone applauded for a while.
"My God! Mr. Fries, are you kidding?!" A grassroots manager who had just joined the company exclaimed.
"Of course it's true!" Janus Fries confirmed again.
Wow!
Suddenly, a burst of shouts resounded across the sky, several times more crazy than before!
An executive couldn't help but said: "They feel shocked. Some people even think they are dreaming and feel incredible."
Another executive echoed: "After all, we have been forgotten by the outside world for a long, long time. The only thing worth remembering is the job-hopping incident of former CEO Nicholas Zenstrom."
Director of the Promotion Department: "Many outstanding juniors joined the company, all of them came under the name of the boss, but they never really met the boss once. This time they were extremely excited, which is completely understandable."
.......
Los Angeles.
"Boss, your schedule today has the last document waiting for instructions." Chief Assistant Villa said.
Zhuke nodded, and did not directly start the last document, but inquired: "You have pushed me all for the next few days of the itinerary. If it is really impossible to push, put it aside for the time being. Ship technology is the main focus."
"Understood, boss."
One thing about Villa is particularly outstanding~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that is obedience!
According to his knowledge, Starship Technology, headquartered in Luxembourg, Europe, is indeed a loser. He didn't know any outstanding points that deserved Zhuke's attention.
After all, Zhu Ke always chooses to go to Europe in person.
From Villa's point of view, this is extremely curious and puzzled!
Is there any "secret weapon" in Starship Technology? !
He guessed it right!
From beginning to end, Zhu Ke has high hopes for Starship Technology! The first product, Kazaa's peer-to-peer transmission software, has never been in Zhuke's focus, but this time the second product that has been in store for a long time is called Skype (Internet telephony).
Skype software is the gold that Zhuke is looking forward to!
It is an instant messaging software, voice call software, as long as you spend 1 cents per minute, you can talk to any mobile phone in the world.
It was founded in 2002;
In 2005, eBay purchased it at a sky-high price of US$2.6 billion;
In 2011, Microsoft bought Skype for another US$8.5 billion.
As of 2021, Skype software has nearly 700 million users worldwide, and its overall value is as high as 29 billion US dollars. It has become an indispensable part of the Microsoft empire.
Now it is about to come out!
And Zhu Ke's trip to Europe Starship Technology is to watch the Skype software land on the market for the first time!
"Boss, the starship technology that has been forgotten by the world for a long time, will it be very powerful in the future?" Villa couldn't help asking.
Zhu Ke smiled unchallengedly: "Look at it, it will surprise you!"
