Chapter 404 Nanli's investment in the United States
Now YouTube is still very rudimentary, the interface of the beta version is like a copycat website, and there is very little video content, Nanli pretended to watch a few short videos uploaded by users, thinking.
He has a forward-thinking and visionary vision, and knows that compared to Facebook's long-term investment, which has to wait for a decade, YouTube's value will be more rapid and grow at an astonishing rate.
From the development trajectory of the earth, we can see the development trajectory of this world, which is much the same.
Nanli knew that he didn't count on Facebook in the past few years, even if he promoted it behind the scenes, he would not be able to meet the requirements in three or five years.
But youtube is different, its value is more direct, if you can hold it, the future is a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars, Nanli is often over the wall to watch videos, he is also familiar with various domestic video software, and has a clear grasp of the advantages and disadvantages in his heart, as long as he is willing to throw money into it, development is not a problem.
After having an idea, Nanli chatted with Steve: "Why can't you do it?"
Steve saw that he was interested and chatted: "With the growth of data traffic, there are many things that we can't do with a small team alone, such as trying to support various mobile phones and on-site search categories, and the team is almost exhausted. ”
"Another important point is the issue of funding, this kind of enterprise has high requirements for servers and bandwidth, I used to just treat it as a hobby, but now the focus is on Facebook, and I have no time to take care of it. ”
"Yes. Nan Li thought for a few seconds, and then looked at him: "If I'm interested in this piece, how about buying it from you and giving you enough funds to exhibit it?"
His group of friends were the first to react: "Congratulations, Steve!"
Zuckerberg also congratulated: "With the big boss's advanced understanding of the Internet, the website will definitely burst into vigorous vitality in his hands." ”
Steve didn't say yes, but said the good and bad: "This kind of website is really new at the moment, and it has a future, but if you have the idea of advertising profitability, I'm afraid it won't be possible for a long time." ”
"Another important problem is that not only will it not be profitable in the short term, but it will also consume money constantly, and if you want to expand abroad, you also need to compile the website into different languages and organize the content you like. ”
"I knew it needed a robust data center. Nan Li summarized the focus of the other party's worries in one sentence, in fact, it was sold to Google because the latter had the strength to operate it.
Does Nanli have the strength of a large company now?
But he has money, and the trouble that can be solved by spending money is not called trouble.
In addition, unlike the history exhibition, he became a major shareholder of Facebook, and because of his foresight and insight, the team respected and agreed with his opinions very much, and Facebook will definitely be a big data user in the future.
With these guarantees, Nanli is very willing to play big.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can't hold on to it for more than ten years, it will be a lot of income if you sell it halfway, and he won't sell it at a price like Steve Chen, at least four or five billion dollars will have to be considered.
But now he can only secretly say sorry to Steve, man!
The price of cabbage on YouTube is also a must-buy, and it will be lower than what he sold in his previous life.
For a newly established video site, Nanli's offer was $2oo to acquire 9o%.
is different from the social field that already has a scale and is not familiar with himself, he is sure to do a good job on the video website, so he took advantage of the fact that the other party was just starting out and bought it in one go.
The remaining 1o% is reserved for the founding team's shares, in order to prevent them from taking money to break up, after the two million acquisition conditions, Nanli also emphasized that he will invest an additional 50 million US dollars.
These conditions add up to reach a combination of 2oo million acquisition of 9o%.
Like those young people, Steve is not much interested in the pursuit of ideals, he is still more realistic, thinking that he can get 2oo in one go, not to mention food and clothing, and his hard work can also get 50 million investment, he is excited.
The most important thing is that he still controls its destiny, after investing 50 million yuan, he believes that it is easy to rely on his own ability to double its value, and finally belong to a small number of shares of his own, which is a kind of value-added guarantee.
Nan Li looked at the other party who was thinking about it, and invited him warmly: "What are my conditions? Compared to working at Facebook, I think you are more suitable for YouTube." ”
This was a phrase that made the Facebook team unhappy: "Hey, we're all listening!"
Of course, they were joking, and Steve had only spent a short time at Facebook in history, and he knew this himself, and after a little thought, he decided to devote himself to the field of video sharing, which he loved.
"I'll go back and talk to my partner. "It's a great opportunity, and with the help of sufficient funds, I have the guts to do it." ”
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Nanli shook hands with him with a smile, of course the smile was full of sincerity, not to mention that the price of cabbage can be bought youtube, and the founding team is retained, which will ensure that the website starts faster.
Even if he doesn't care about anything now and gives the founding team free rein to play, it will definitely sell billions of dollars worth in a little more than a year.
If it is put in operation for a few more years, it is easy to be worth tens of billions, this is the profiteering of foresight, and Nanli's forward-looking vision has been perfectly interpreted at this moment.
......
This trip to the south of the country feels that it is completely worth the fare.
Not to mention becoming the largest shareholder of the social giant, but also swallowing the future video giant in one bite, the most optimistic estimate is that these two companies have already mastered $200 billion in assets in their own hands.
After ten years of stability, with the addition of the Tianxia Group, Nanli can proudly claim that the assets of the world's richest man are nothing more than this in front of him, and the sum of the top 100 is barely enough to see for himself, and his brother is the real trench.
"We're here, Mr. Nan?" Xiaoxue's voice interrupted Nanli's fantasy.
"Notification is ready for a meeting. ”
Nan Li didn't show his smugness on his face, he has always been cautious in this regard, and he doesn't like to talk about it and blow it out before the results are determined.
What's more, it has only just started, and ten years is too long, because of the butterfly effect that it has introduced, what will the future become?
He can only rely on his own calculation of social development to ensure the normalization of the industry. Now he's on his way to YouTube's office and has a whole upgrade plan in mind.
As an online video website, the user experience must be in place, and you must not freeze when watching videos, and you must spend money on servers and bandwidth to invest in the smoothest experience.
The second is that the interface can not be too simple, the company is now rich, immediately to hire a professional artist, designed into the future more than ten years after the simple style, he believes that the exquisite interface will definitely kill the current website.
"I think the website needs to set up a category of videos, such as daily, funny, music, film and television, etc., and then the staff will filter out the popular videos and push them to the main page. ”
Content classification has always been a place for Nanli to criticize YouTube, it is mainly based on users subscribing to themselves, even if there is a classification of columns, its recommendation is not a video, but a video broadcaster.
On the contrary, he likes the experience of the domestic video station more, for example, click into the "funny" column, what wonderful videos there are today, they will be recommended, and users can choose to watch them clearly and clearly.
YouTube is roughly as follows: Columns-Anchors-Search-Videos.
The domestic one is: column-video.
As a lazy person, he prefers to operate without brains, and he can see the video he wants with a few clicks, and if he thinks the quality is good, he will subscribe to the broadcaster.
Nanli was talking, while Steve and his team were recording, thinking that the boss came over to take a formality, but he didn't expect to bring a lot of novel concepts.
Just like the Facebook team marveled, this guy is a genius! As a person can have, he has the advantages of being rich, handsome, status, and brains...... It's all for him!
It wasn't until Nanli stopped to drink water that Steve had time to interject: "I have to admit that the concept you brought is too surprising, sir, but it is too difficult for us to do it all at the moment. ”
Nanli smiled and said: "It's unrealistic to realize it all, I just tell you my thoughts, and how to implement it is up to you to grasp it." ”
"However, I suggest that the user experience must be in place, to ensure smooth viewing and ensure the beauty of the interface, as the company's first priority, no problem, right?"
Steve agreed: "We also plan to do the same, the interface sketch you drew is also a very distinctive design, and we will ask someone to restore it." ”
"It's an improvisation, I hope everyone enjoys it. Nan Li smiled thickly, his sketches were all imitations of earth video software, of course, they were refreshing and simple.
"You're really impressive. Steve had to admit.
"You're welcome. ”
In this way, Nan Li went from a discerning boss at the beginning, but still a layman, and gradually became a far-sighted and visionary genius, and became the idol of these technology tycoons.
It doesn't feel too cool!
After successfully getting the shares of Facebook and YouTube, Nanli will take at least 200 billion assets in the future, and most of this task has been completed, how to use the remaining funds?
Nan Li roughly estimated that there were about $2 billion in funds available in his foreign account.
In other words, he can now invest $2 billion.
Amazon?
Nanli quickly passed, it is not realistic, now Amazon has developed, there is no shortage of funds at all, and it can only acquire some loose shares in the market.
Nanli is very optimistic about Apple!
Although Apple is losing in front of the world's technology, Nanli feels that if he can acquire Apple, it is not bad to complete the dream of Lao Luo of Hammer Technology.
And Apple's heritage is still very strong.
If you think about how many people sold their kidneys to buy iPhones, you can see how great this company is! Of course, more people are forced to pretend. But I have to say that the S system is really easy to use.
When Jobs released the iPhone 4, it was so amazing that it almost shocked the whole world and affected the development process of the mobile communication field.
But Jobs, the CEO of Apple, is a stubborn old man, and even if the company is not developing well, he will not easily admit defeat.
Sure enough, Nanli took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat!
Not only did he not get any benefit, but he was ridiculed by Steve Jobs, an old eccentric.
"Very well, Jobs, I'm going to keep working hard and finish Apple up once and for all! ”
Nanli clenched his fists tightly.
Wait, fist?
Nanli suddenly remembered another company, RT Gas, whose Chinese name is Fist Company.
Oh, well, you haven't heard.
But you should have heard of their games, yes, League of Legends.
Now, the company is still in the early stages of development, and they are ready to develop the game League of Legends.
And Nanli realized the value of this game earlier, and even recognized his value when the game was still a sketch, this kind of advanced vision, no one in the world can compare.
Soon, Nanli contacted the game's developer, Steven Gucci, through Xiaoxue, and in fact, Steven Gucci was only planning to make such a game, and had not even started to do it.
On the contrary, it was Nanli who gave him countless inspirations.
The two hit it off, and Nanli invested $100 million in the development of League of Legends, accounting for 90% of the shares.
And Steven Gucci took a stake in technology, accounting for 10% of the shares.
With Nanli's investment of 100 million US dollars, plus Nanli's suggestions are very detailed, including battle mode, map, and hero's character design, skills, runes, talents, and so on!
Nan Li believes that within a year, this game will be able to meet the public, and a year later, with his strength, he can quickly make this game popular all over the world.

Motorola is headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, on the outskirts of Chicago.
It is one of the world's top 100 Fortune companies and a global leader in chip manufacturing and electronic communications
Once one of the greatest companies in the United States, it was full of innovation, constantly expanding new business, creating huge wealth, and once became the No1 in the mobile phone industry.
But with the rise of Nokia, Motorola has declined rapidly, and although it can barely survive now, it has been in crisis internally.
As the inventor of the mobile phone, as a brilliant giant in the field of mobile communications, this once king has gone into decline, although the new CEO Brown has tried his best to save the decline!
But in the first quarter alone, Motorola has already lost $16.3 billion!
Although this month turned a profit, it was just a drop in the bucket for Motorola, which was already rotten internally.
"President Brown, there is a young man from Dahua who wants to meet you, and he said that he is a user of a Motorola mobile phone. Miss Victor, assistant to the president, asked.
"Dahua?" Brown waved impatiently, "Tell him I'm not available." ”
"If every user wants to see me, then I don't have to do anything for the rest of my life. ”
Brown was very dissatisfied and chattered: "What's the matter with you? It's the first time you've been an assistant?
