Jeff Bezos is very interested in PayPal!

As long as anyone with a little business acumen can see the potential of PayPal, and the combination of e-commerce and online trading platforms definitely complements each other!

Amazon in the previous life did not acquire PayPal, not that Jeff Bezos did not want to, but Amazon was too weak to eat.

As a result, PayPal was acquired by eBay for a high price of $1.5 billion.

In this life, Don wants to make a change.

He directly rejected eBay's bid, and then negotiated directly with Amazon.

Jeff Bezos, of course, can't make such a frantic bid as eBay.com.

"Mr. Walker, in the case of Amazon, you also know that with the bursting of the dot-com bubble, Amazon's valuation has been seriously undervalued, and it is impossible for me to make an offer similar to that of eBay. ”

Jeff Bezos came to the door in person, and his attitude was sincere.

Donn smiled and took the coffee from Ella Fisher's hand and said, "Taste, authentic cat poop coffee." ”

"Ahem......"

Jeff Bezos almost choked up.

Tang En said lightly: "$1 billion, you can use stock merger and acquisition, plus an additional requirement." ”

Jeff Bezos' eyes widened, "A billion dollars?" Mr. Walker, are you serious?"

Now eBay.com has soared its offer to $1.5 billion.

And the current volume of eBay is equal to 5 Amazons!

In this case, Tang En's ability to refuse eBay and choose Amazon to sell at a low price of $1 billion is really shocking!

Don glanced at him, "You think I'm kidding?"

The future Jeff Bezos is very famous and very bullish, and his wealth even surpassed Bill Gates and became the richest man in the world.

But now, Jeff Bezos is a small person in front of Donn.

"This ...... This is amazing, hehe, I really never dreamed that I could complete the acquisition of PayPal for $1 billion. ”

Now Amazon, with a share price of $17.78, a share capital of $462 million, and a market capitalization of $8.2 billion.

If PayPal is acquired in the form of pure shares, an additional 56.24 million shares will be issued, and Tang En will occupy 30.93 million shares.

If the deal closes, Amazon's total share capital will become 518 million shares, and Don will account for 6% of the total share capital.

It can be said that Tang En will further consolidate his position as the richest man in the world in the future!

And far ahead.

"Wait!" Don waved his hand and looked at him with a smirk, "Jeff, don't forget, I have one more strings attached." ”

"You say!"

"I need the IDMb website. ”

Don sold PayPal at a relatively low price, so he naturally wanted to ask for the corresponding benefits.

Founded as early as 1990, IDMb was later acquired by Jeff Bezos and completed the commercial transformation, from a pure library of film and video games to a film and television news network.

Of course, the more authoritative is the rating of movies, television, and video games.

With the development of the Internet, IDMb's rating authority in the film and television industry will become higher and higher.

Moreover, just this year, IDMb also provided a professional membership version of IDMbPro, which provides more information about professionals in the entertainment industry.

In the entertainment industry full of rumors and gossip, many news can't tell the truth from the fake.

At this time, IDMbPro can provide authoritative conclusions.

Donn knows the potential of IDMb, and it's a rating for film and television content, so it's worth it.

"IDMb website?" said Jeff Bezos, hesitating, raising an eyebrow, "This website is a service that complements Amazon's main website, allowing us to provide information for users to choose from when selling DVDs and videotapes." ”

Don waved his hand disappreciatively, "It's okay! Even if New Global acquires the IDMb website, Amazon can still use the rating information on IDMb." ”

Jeff Bezos was a little hesitant.

He knew that under the New Globe Group, there was a Netflix company.

Netflix provides DVD and video tape rental services, and the demand for IDMb websites is higher. Amazon provides the business of selling DVDs and videotapes, and the demand for IDMb websites is also very high.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Tang En said lightly: "Jeff, you have a long-term vision, you have a very complete layout of Amazon, which I can see, otherwise I would not have handed over PayPal to you." However, the basis of the transaction is mutual benefit. I know you value the IDMb website, but you have to understand that on the PayPal acquisition, I saved you $500 million!"

"Can I think about it?"

"Of course!"

……

Donn's new book, "Blockbuster Strategy", was released on a small scale on November 13 by Houghton Mifflin Press.

As expected, this is not a bestseller.

Compared to the comic "The Walking Dead" he created, it is not a level at all.

"The Walking Dead" has been on sale for two weeks, and 1 million copies have been sold in North America, which is terrifying!

In contrast, the book "Explosive Strategy" is a bit shabby.

On the first day of release, only 22,000 copies were sold.

Among them, 5,000 copies were ordered by major universities and institutions.

However, in the New York Times, New York Post and other newspapers, the reviews of this book are quite good, at least it has not fallen into the prestige of Donn Walker.

On November 15, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was finally released in the spotlight.

3,682 theaters were opened in North America, and it was released in four formats: ordinary film, ordinary digital, IMAX film and IMAX digital.

It was Friday.

That night, the movie theater became a paradise for children.

The IMAX theater, in particular, is once again in a full house, which is simply a remake of the summer "Pirate League: The Curse of the Black Pearl".

IMAX films are still a new form of new trend at the moment.

After the movie, there are also staff from New Universal, who are sending investigation reports to fans.

The question is not so much about the quality of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but about the investigation of the IMAX digital and IMAX film versions.

IMAX film is too expensive.

If you convert all the classic old films of the past into IMAX film versions, it will really outweigh the losses. The two or three million dollars in conversion fees alone will make it difficult to recover the cost through dozens of IMAX theaters.

This has led to many Hollywood studios being reluctant to switch to IMAX films.

It will also cause a shortage of IMAX films.

As more and more IMAX theaters are established, there is always a way to enrich the source of IMAX movies, right?

Now, IMAX has finally launched the IMAX digital version conversion technology, that is, to convert the film into digital format, not only the conversion cost, will be reduced to one-tenth of the film version, and the copy cost is very low.

Even if the technology is not mature now, a digital copy of IMAX can be won for $800.

Compared to the expensive IMAX film version, the IMAX digital version is a lifesaver for old movies. It also makes it possible for many film companies that still have a wait-and-see attitude towards IMAX films to test the waters.

The key question is, how much impact will the IMAX digital version have on the viewer's viewing experience?

After all, the clarity and brightness of the digital version must be like the film version.

"What about the results of the investigation?"

At nine o'clock that night, Don received a call from Ron Meyer.

"More than 90% of movie fans think that the IMAX digital version is shocking enough, far better than the regular version of the movie!" said Ron Meyer excitedly.

Don smiled, this result, he almost expected.

He said: "Although the IMAX digital version is worse than the IMAX film version, it must be better than the regular version! In this case, we can rest assured that tomorrow we can publish our findings to all film companies and tell them that we have succeeded in the IMAX digital version of the film! We can do it with low conversion fees and low-cost copies!"

If "Pirate League: The Curse of the Black Pearl" was the beginning of IMAX films, then "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is likely to set off a real craze for IMAX films.

IMAX movies are coming with an unstoppable attitude, stepping on the footsteps of the times, surging with Donn's strength, shocking!
