Chapter 134: Two $500 Billion !!
In the following week, the guests left Necker Island. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Jingshan is a workaholic and also left the island with the guests.
The rest of the servants on the island, Li Zetian's parents and Xiao Qiqi vacationed here, and Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu went to Europe for a honeymoon.
During this period, the global box office of "Star Wars" exceeded 700 million US dollars, and the movie is still being released, causing a global sensation and shocking the industry!
Star Wars has created a whirlwind beyond anyone's imagination.
The name of Star Wars Film Company also emerged, and the founder behind the company, Li Zetian, once again became the focus of media coverage, and even many newspapers did not hesitate to report on him with a full page of content.
More than a month later, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu returned to the United States from Europe.
Back at the Beverly Hills villa, Dongfang Yuqin immediately reported to Li Zetian about her recent work.
"Mr. Li, after two months of hard work, Netflix has won the licensing of more than 400 excellent works, spending a total of 20 million US dollars, and some of them have chosen a 10% sales share model. In addition, Netflix has established 30 rental stores across the United States, and is expected to expand rapidly at a rate of 10 new rental stores per month!"
"Have you negotiated technology licensing with JVC?" asked Li Zetian.
After talking, the other party said that they were willing to license it for free and help us set up a VHS format videotape production plant. However, the premise is that Netflix needs to help JVC sell VHS recorders. However, for every VHS recorder sold, we also get a 20% share of the revenue. ”
"Well, that's not bad! It seems that JVC is quite bold in promoting the VHS format!" Li Zetian took a sip of coffee, nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Has Sony ever approached you?" Netflix is buying movie licenses everywhere, it's impossible for Sony not to know about ......."
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and replied, "Yes, Sony has approached us, and even proposed more favorable conditions than JVC. However, according to your instructions, we did not cooperate with Sony, but used Sony to raise our value, so as to negotiate with JVC and obtain better terms!"
"Hehe, the more fierce the competition between them, the better it is for us!"
Li Zetian said with a smile, "After the release of "Star Wars" is over, Netflix can be opened." Well...... Preliminary preparations should be in place, including the production of VHS format videotapes and the training of employees. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation with film companies to obtain the distribution rights of future films, and preferably to reach a long-term priority agreement with them in order to ensure that Netflix has sufficient resources. ”
"Hmm!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded in response.
Li Zetian picked up the cup at this time, took another sip of coffee, and thought to himself, Dongfang Yuqin has done a good job in the creation of Netflix, and her ability is excellent, and she should be able to make her the CEO of "Times Technology Holding Company......
Li Zetian pondered for a moment and said to her, "Is there a suitable person for Netflix to be the CEO?"
When Dongfang Yuqin heard this, she showed a disappointed and sad expression on her face, she thought that Li Zetian would let her take the position of CEO of Netflix, but now, Li Zetian asked her, obviously planning to let someone else take it.
"Mr. Li, I think Shirek Adolf can do it. ”
"Tell me about him. ”
Dongfang Yuqin nodded, and then began to introduce: "Cirek Adolf, 32 years old, German-American, graduated from Stanford University, and previously worked at Paramount Pictures. Since his grandfather was a Na~~~ officer who had helped the Jews, many Jews had a good opinion of him. As far as I know, a lot of Hollywood's top brass are Jewish, so I think it's a good fit to have him as CEO of Netflix. ”
"Well, judging from this person's resume, it is indeed a good fit to be the CEO of Netflix. Li Zetian nodded, paused, and looked into Dongfang Yuqin's eyes, "Do you feel very disappointed in your heart because I didn't let you be the CEO?"
"I, I don't feel lost!" Dongfang Yuqin said stubbornly, but she felt aggrieved in her heart, because she had put a lot of effort into Netflix, and because she felt that Li Zetian didn't value her and didn't agree with her ability, and the latter accounted for most of the ingredients.
Dongfang Yuqin obviously didn't hide her emotions in front of Li Zetian, and all the grievances in her heart were written on her face.
Li Zetian shook his head, he couldn't help but feel funny, he said that he was not wronged, but he was obviously wronged to death in his heart.
Li Zetian didn't tease her anymore, and took out a document directly from the drawer and handed it to her.
"Take a look. He said.
"Hmm. ”
Dongfang Yuqin opened the document and looked at it, the name of the document is called "Times Technology Holding Company", after reading the content, Dongfang Yuqin's face was full of shock, it was written that the development strategy of Times Technology Company was to acquire the microprocessor department of Intel Company, join hands with Microsoft and IBM, compete with Apple in the personal computer market, and develop Times Technology Company into a super group like an umbrella company.
Li Zetian smiled, "The reason why I didn't let you be the CEO of Netflix is because there is a better position waiting for you." That's right, I'm going to make you the CEO of Time Tech. ”
Based on Li Zetian's observation of Dongfang Yuqin these days, in addition to her outstanding ability, she is also a very filial daughter, Li Zetian then sent someone to send her mother to the best hospital in the United States for treatment, Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but be grateful to him, so the degree of loyalty is also okay.
"Mr. Li, you're not kidding, are you?" asked Dongfang Yuqin incredulously.
"Why, do I seem to be the kind of person who likes to joke?"
"It's not...... I was just very surprised and a little incredulous!"
"Times Technology is still just a shell company, and you are fully competent enough to do it, and as the company grows, your ability will become stronger and stronger. The reason why I chose you is, firstly, because you are a secretary by my side, so that I can keep abreast of the development of Times Technology, and secondly, I feel that you should not betray me. Whether it will betray or not, Li Zetian doesn't know, but Dongfang Yuqin is indeed the best candidate, she is not interested in men, she will not be deceived by men, and she will be tempted by the "beauty plan" and devote herself to work. At the same time, she knew that she was grateful, and her mother was her only concern, which made Li Zetian trust her very much.
When Dongfang Yuqin heard this, her heart was moved, and she promised: "Mr. Li, please rest assured, I, Dongfang Yuqin, will never betray you, unless you don't want me anymore!"
"Ahem,"
Li Zetian coughed twice, what he said was very ambiguous, what do you mean I don't want you anymore.
Dongfang Yuqin soon reflected, her cheeks were crimson, it was undeniable that although she didn't like men, she admired and admired Li Zetian's talent very much, and the longer she came into contact, the more she felt that Li Zetian's genius was a little excessive, and it could even be said to be incredible!
"Mr. Li, I, I mean ......"
"Well, I know, you don't have to explain," Li Zetian interrupted with a smile, "Do you have any questions after reading the information?"
"Mr. Li, I have a doubt, why does Times Technology join forces with IBM and Microsoft to deal with Apple?" asked Dongfang Yuqin with a frown.
Li Zetian smiled slightly, his decision was naturally reasonable. The pressure of personal computer competition is too great, and many computer giants such as IBM, HP, and Dell have emerged, and it is difficult for Apple to monopolize the market. What's more, if Li Zetian does not take the initiative to cooperate with IBM, there will naturally be others who will cooperate with IBM. Instead of that, it's better to do it yourself!
By cooperating with IBM, Intel's microprocessors and Microsoft's operating system were able to form a market monopoly, and in the future, when Microsoft and Intel formed the most powerful Wintel alliance in the technology industry and dominated the global PC market, at that time, IBM was a green onion? Even Lenovo acquired its personal computer division!
Before the bursting of the Internet bubble in 2000, Microsoft's market capitalization reached an eye-popping $586.1 billion, close to $600 billion, the world's first, unprecedented!
And Intel's market capitalization before 2000 exceeded $500 billion!
How can the alliance of two $500 billion companies be a "bull"?
However, Li Zetian did not tell Dongfang Yuqin about this, and the other party did not believe it.
He only said: "The reason is very simple, with the entry of IBM, the personal computer market has become a big cake, and I want to eat it on both sides!"
