Chapter 396: Curve Entrepreneurship

Truly successful entrepreneurs are basically ambitious, unsatisfied with the status quo, and dare to think and do. I don't like to be afraid of doing things, I think about it and worry too much.

It's like what a certain big guy said, I thought of a thousand roads at night, and when I got up in the morning, I still took the road I used to take... You know, sometimes opportunities are hard to find, opportunities will not wait for people, and when you think about it and make a decision, the daylily will be cold.

Entrepreneurs or rich people think things decisively, are determined, have a fighting spirit, and have a kind of spiritual perseverance that does not reach the goal and does not give up, so he can be developed.

Arthur used to be content with the word "contentment", in fact, to put it bluntly, he had no way at that time, he couldn't be content and happy, in fact, contented people couldn't make money.

Only people who are ambitious and like to keep tossing can really get rich, often life is like this, if you don't toss life, life will toss you!

This is life! Those who are afraid of hardship will suffer for a lifetime, and those who are not afraid of hardship will suffer for a while. If you don't toss life desperately, life will desperately toss you, difficulties and life are like a dog, if you run it, it will bite, and if you chase it, you will run.

The ratio of risk to wealth is equal!

The rich wolf xing, the poor sheep xing, the difference in the way of thinking leads to the difference in the real life of the rich and the poor. This is also a truth that Arthur has seen and heard in the past six months, and has personally realized that greed is the driving force for the rich to expand their capital!

"Angela, how is the progress on your side?" Arthur naturally did not forget to ask Angela about the progress of the project he was currently responsible for.

"I think the acquisition plans on the Greek and Italian sides can be put on hold for the time being, and when the debt crisis spreads completely, we will start to act and buy the bottom, so that we can get the maximum benefit at a very small price, but the preliminary investigation has been almost done, just waiting for a suitable time. Angela reported.

"Well, yes, there's really no need to rush. Thinking that Jiang Lai still has at least one year of college, even if she gets an olive oil company and a red wine brand out now, she can't take over the development of the market in the Celestial Empire, so there is no need to worry.

"What about the newspaper?" was undoubtedly Arthur's concern.

"We have selected 20 target newspapers in 20 cities, but without exception, almost all of them are in a state of loss, and we have selected newspapers with less debt, more influential in the local area, and a circulation of tens of thousands of copies, two of which have a history of 100 years, 13 have a history of at least 50 years, and the rest are newspapers with a history of 20 or 30 years. ”

"Very good, send me the list in a while, the loss is nothing, and it is not so easy for us to acquire if we don't lose money, the key is the authority, credibility and influence in the local area, hehe, I am looking forward to the establishment of the media company more and more." Arthur smiled happily.

"Boss, for the acquisition of print media, I still have reservations, your ideas and layout I understand, but, in the rapid development of the Internet, the decline and elimination of paper media, has been an unchangeable trend, perhaps your point of view has a certain commercial value and feasible xing, in the end the only way out, or to carry out Internet reform, in this case, why don't you directly invest in the Internet. Angela voiced her confusion.

"I do have plans to invest in or set up an Internet company, but I just want to build a network with a regional newspaper first, and then set up a unified website, so that I don't have to burn money to build the network from the top down at the beginning.

No way, the Internet market in the United Kingdom, and even in Europe, is basically occupied by American companies, whether it is Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, or the video site YouTube, these have become giants in the industry, in the face of their expansion and cannibalization, they can only find another way, look at Facebook's expansion in Europe in the past year, the United Kingdom, that kind of money-burning speed, is really helpless.

To be honest, what I want to build most is a video website and a social website that belongs to the UK。。。。。。 Arthur naturally has his own plan, no one knows how far the future network world has eroded the real world, everyone has a mobile phone, people can hardly leave the mobile Internet to obtain information speed and convenience.

"Boss, why don't you consider buying LiveLeak video sites? YouTube is indeed the number one video site, but LiveLeak is also popular in the UK and even in Europe, we can buy it, it's better than spending money on these declining print media, right?" Angela couldn't help but suggest.

"LiveLeak? Don't you say, I did think about it, actually, I bought these print media outlets in the end to create a more comprehensive news site similar to it, but you also know that if I were to complete the acquisition of it, I couldn't do it without three or four billion pounds. Arthur smiled helplessly.

No way, it's still a matter of money, there is too little money!

LiveLeak is a British video-sharing site that allows users to upload and share videos. Website videos mainly include, local current events, politics and reality-based videos, such as war scenes from around the world. The website was officially launched on 31 October 2006. It was founded by the team. The site's video content includes real-life footage, politics, world events and citizen news.

In 2007 began to emerge, after which it filmed and leaked the execution process of Lao Sa without authorization. The site was mentioned by both Bald Eagle and Blair at the time. Currently, it has several column categories, including Yi and A, which include a variety of conflict image content that can be viewed. Users can upload their own videos. It's a lot like a video log. It is different from YouTube, where only zhengzhi and well-known debates are talked about here.

However, because the general video website adopts the process of user uploading, then reviewing, and then publishing, but it is unrealistic for a time-sensitive website like liveleak, the news is fast, whoever gets the first hand can get the maximum exposure, and this website is uploaded by users, and then published directly, and finally reviewed, of course, many times it is not reviewed.

That's right, everything you can think of, maybe discordant content, this video site has, so, all the time, this site has been developing at the same time, but also accompanied by various accusations, criticisms and controversies.

Not to mention ordinary people, everyone shouts and beats, but it is definitely a video site that belongs to the classified category.

No money...

Angela is also very helpless about the boss's answer, after all, as Arthur's investment and financial consultant, she is very aware of Arthur's financial situation, saying that he is a billionaire, which is true, but Arthur is now in a very embarrassing position, worth more than 100 million, but the ambition is too big, and the stall he wants to lay out is too big, and the money in his hand cannot support the ambition at all.

It's no wonder that their own boss will choose to retreat to the bottom-up model to start a business.

"Boss, maybe not now, but when the coastal power plant comes on the market, it may not be impossible!" Angela encouraged.

"I understand, however, engaging in corporate and financial investment is different, the road has to go step by step, the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, when the time comes, I really can't spend enough money, I will definitely not hesitate to buy LiveLeak, in fact, I am also very optimistic about this website!" Arthur squinted his eyes slightly and said sincerely.
