Chapter 538: National Supermodel Contest
Don is prescient, Yibei wants to buy PayPal, what are you kidding?
Give PayPal to eBay.com, it's a jewel!
The future of e-commerce belongs only to Amazon!
Don knows that Elon Musk has no spare money, and if he wants to start his "Martian dream", he must sell his PayPal shares.
PayPal is on the right track, and it does have the potential to change the way finance is done.
But this change is still a little small compared to Elon Musk's ideals.
He's a madman!
Coincidentally, whether it is the experience of the previous life or the interaction in this life, Tang En has gradually gained this crazy attribute.
"PayPal can be sold, but it's definitely not Ebay!"
When Elon Musk was shocked and speechless, Don gave his answer.
"Don't sell to eBay?" Elon Musk was even more shocked, "So who to sell?" The current eBay is the e-commerce group with the highest market value, and only Ebay has the ability to eat PayPal. ”
Don shook his head, his face rather disdainful, "You're right, it's just for now. ”
"Donne, what do you mean......"
"If you really want to sell PayPal, the buyer can only be Amazon!"
Don owns 55% of PayPal's shares, while Elon Musk only has 21%, and Don can say anything about this kind of decision-making power.
"Amazon?" Elon Musk frowned, his face strange, "Amazon's market value is only $8 billion, I'm afraid I can't eat PayPal, right?"
Now Amazon, poor jingle, keeps peddling bonds, and it is losing money year after year.
In the eyes of Wall Street, Amazon may not be as good as PayPal, after all, the latter has achieved profitability.
Don glanced at him, "Don't you know? Bezos is also a madman!"
"Huh?"
"He, like you, has plans to explore space!"
"You say his blue origin?" Elon Musk was a little disdainful, "There are too many tech bigwigs who are interested in space, from Bill Gates, to Paul Allen, from Eric Schmidt, to Larry Page, but to be honest, I am the only one who really dreams of doing a big job in space." ”
Don smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, YPAL wants to sell to Amazon, I believe that with Jeff Bezos's eyes, I will definitely see the advantages of combining Amazon and PayPal." ”
Elon Musk was embarrassed and said: "But Amazon can't afford to pay at all!"
"Then swap it out with shares. ”
"Huh?"
Elon Musk opened his mouth wide.
Using PayPal to exchange Amazon stock?
This deal is too scummy, isn't it?
Besides, if you use stocks to trade, the valuation of PayPal will not be as high as that of Ebay.
Don shook his head, there was no way.
Even if you are a genius, it is impossible to see the direction of the future. Elon Musk, how do you know the future situation of Amazon soaring for nine days?
"I know, you want to sell PayPal and go grow your SpaceX company. But that's okay, I can be your investor. ”
"What? You're going to invest in SpaceX?"
Elon Musk's eyes widened.
Tosca Musk and Ella Fisher, who were sitting next to him and silent for a long time, couldn't help but open their mouths wide and looked at Don incredulously.
Crazy, right?
One madman is not enough, another one is coming?
Tang En said lightly: "New Globe is developing the media industry, but I will invest in SpaceX in my personal name, and I will give you $30 million first, I am willing to pay for your dream." ”
Elon Musk stood up directly in excitement.
……
After Barry Diller took office, Donn's biggest task was to quickly increase the brand value of "New Universal" in the shortest possible time.
The brand of "New Universal" is a continuation of "Universal", but with the addition of the letter "NE" underneath.
However, as the oldest brand in the entertainment industry, "Universal", not to mention compared with Disney and Warner, has been surpassed by many rising stars.
Even the nouveau riche "Comcast" and "Viacom" have the implication of being the last.
Tang En established the New Global Group, which is bound to make the century-old brand "Universal" reappear at the peak of the year!
The world is the same as the world!
The restructuring of the company and the adjustment of the strategy are all long-term operations, and after Barry Diller took power, he immediately came up with a very constructive solution.
"Don, take a look at this planning report. ”
Barry Diller comes to Donn's office almost every day to exchange business ideas or discuss corporate management, and this time, he brought a document.
Tang En didn't trust him either, whether it was in terms of seniority or age, the other party was his senior.
Walked over and sat down on the sofa, and after seeing the report, Done's eyes lit up, "Huh?
Barry Diller said: "That's right, the plan submitted by Universal TV has been reviewed by the creative committee, and this reality show has the value of starting production, and the model is not much different from "American Idol". ”
"American Supermodel Competition", of course, Don knows too well, is the hottest and hottest reality show in the world with the theme of model election.
Among them, there are many links such as swimsuit shows and underwear shows, which can stimulate hormones.
This kind of reality show, you don't have to think too much about it, and the ratings will definitely not be bad!
"Ataya Binns? I've met her a few times, she's a top supermodel, I really didn't expect that she still has such business acumen, and she can write such an excellent plan, probably inspired by "American Idol". ”
Tang En smiled, pretended to look at it for a while, and nodded again and again, "In cooperation with fashion magazines such as "Vogue" and "ELLE", it can be made into a national fashion reality show, which is good!"
Then his eyes turned to Barry Diller, if it was just a reality show like "American Supermodel Competition", there was no need to discuss with him, the big boss.
"I think this reality show can have a deeper space for exploration. ”
"Oh?"
"Don't you say that the biggest task of the group now is to improve the brand? Coincidentally, the global brand can be used here. ”
Done's eyes lit up, "You mean, change the "National Model Contest" to "Global Model Contest"?"
Barry Diller said: "I think this can greatly enhance the company's brand image and global awareness. ”
Tang En frowned, "But the model is going to change drastically, right? If it's just "National Model Contest", you can sell overseas rights and become "Korean Model Contest" and "French Model Contest", if you use the strategy of "Global Model Contest" ......"
"You can go in the 'Miss Universe' mode. Barry Diller pulled out another document and handed it to Donne, "This is an idea from the creative committee, you can take a look." ”
Don briefly browsed, and was stunned.
The popularity of the Miss Universe contest is too great, and the beauties of various countries are selected all over the world, and then the finals are unified.
The host of the U.S. finals is still a real estate tycoon.
However, if the Global Model Contest also follows this model, the scale will be too large, and it will definitely not be the scale of a reality show in "National Model Contest".
It takes more teams behind the scenes, or even a large agency to do it.
It's like the "Miss Universe Contest", which is run by the "Miss Universe Organization" company behind it.
Tang En pondered for a moment, "If creativity is good, will it cost people and money? To run such a big event, it takes my wife's energy and expenditure." ”
Barry Diller said: "Yes, that's the crux of the matter, I have two solutions here. First, there is no real name, only using the brand name of "Universal", and the "Global Model Contest" is produced according to the model of "National Model Contest", but the selection range of contestants is no longer limited to the United States, and a few foreigners can be selected to participate to express diversity. There may be some impact on the sale of overseas rights, but it is very small compared to the improvement of the 'Universal' brand. ”
Don nodded, "This plan is safe, but it just replaces 'All-America' with 'Universal', and the entire reality show pattern remains unchanged and is easy to control." What about the second package?"
Barry Diller said: "The second plan is to merge the 'Global Model Contest' into the 'Miss Universe Organization', one team, two things. ”
"Wait!" Donne's eyes widened, a little incredulous, "Are you saying that ...... Miss Universe is our company?
"You don't know?"
Barry Diller was even more surprised.
Don smiled bitterly, how could he possibly check all the assets under Universal Pictures.
But it's also Miss Universe...... This concept of "Universal" can only come from the "Universal" of Universal Pictures!
Barry Diller explained: "The Miss Universe contest was held by a clothing company, and in partnership with Universal Pictures, it was to use the 'Universal' brand to build awareness. Later, the clothing company withdrew, and in addition to 51% of the equity of the Miss Universe organization, the remaining 49% was bought by ***. ”
"What are you talking about? The current Miss Universe contest, half of the equity is in the hands of ***?"
"That's right, otherwise, in the finals, how could that second-knife real estate tycoon be in charge? He is the person in charge of this beauty pageant. ”
Don pouted repeatedly, his face strange.
This Mr. President really has a soft spot for "lace".
It's all in the production of beauty contests.
"The production of the "Global Model Contest", according to the first plan, is limited to one place in North America and should not be too large. Don was quick to make a decision.
Barry Diller nodded, and was about to get up and leave.
"Wait!" Don suddenly stopped him, "The Miss Universe contest is a real worldwide beauty contest, so that *** that two knife producers are simply a jewel of dust! ”
"Huh?" Barry Diller's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
Tang En stood up and waved his hand, "We want to take back the control of the Miss Universe contest!" The brand of 'Universal' can only belong to the New Universe Group!"
