Chapter 667: Survive with a Broken Tail
Facebook's Future ...... There will be infinite light.
Even in terms of market capitalization, the entire New Globe Group is no match for Facebook.
However, if Donn wants to get the most out of the Facebook project, the best way is to invest through New Globe Group, not personally.
Starting a business is extremely risky, and 99 out of 100 will fail, especially in the Internet industry.
Even if Donn comes up with enough money to work with Mark Zuckerberg, he can't control all of Facebook's shares, and he must take out some of the dry shares as the price for his risky venture.
However, in the name of New Globe Group, it is different.
Creating a website in the name of New Globe Group is no entrepreneurial risk for Mark Zuckerberg, not to mention a high salary, and he can also get a stake in New Globe Group.
The website is too risky, but how can the stock of New Globe Group be risky?
In addition, only by attaching Facebook to the New Universal Group can we give full play to the greatest resource advantage of New Universal in the entertainment industry and open up the forefront of online social networking.
The development of the Internet was ...... in a situation where portals were dominated by Yahoo and search engines were dominated by Google There seems to be only one big plate left β social entertainment.
Whether it's MSN or ICQ, they are all chat tools, but the social attributes are too narrow and too personal.
Donn's proposal is to build a public-facing social platform similar to the facemas** station, and it is an online platform, which will be more operable anytime and anywhere.
There are no obstacles to this entrepreneurial proposal.
Donn was quick to get a reply β Mark Zuckerberg was willing to cooperate!
However, in the short term, he does not plan to give up his studies, and at most he will take a year off from school to see the aftermath.
If the website is reliable, drop out completely, and if not, go back to Harvard to continue studying.
For the next contact, Don didn't have to show up in person.
He held a meeting with senior officials in the interactive entertainment department to popularize the concept of Facebook, and then asked Kevin Turner to reach out to Mark Zuckerberg.
Of course, in order to show the importance of Facebook, Don also called Mark Zuckerberg and told him that if there was a disagreement during the creation of the website, he could bypass the executives of the interactive entertainment department and report directly to him.
In the previous life, the peak of entertainment companies had a market value of about $150 billion, such as Disney, Comcast, and Netflix.
In this life, Tang En created the New Global Group, which also integrated companies such as Netflix and Blizzard.
He was once confident that he could lead the New Globe Group to grow its market value to $300 billion!
Rao is so, with a market capitalization of $300 billion...... Compared with those Internet giants, there is still a big gap.
I can't even get into the top 10 in the world.
This is really sad for the entertainment industry.
But now with Facebook it's different!
If Facebook and Netflix can develop like in their previous lives...... Then the New Global Group will not be afraid of any opponent!
Even Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have the capital to compete!
With the advent of Mark Zuckerberg, Donn's ambitions suddenly grew.
The position of the boss of the entertainment industry seems to be no longer satisfying him.
He wants to be a god in the field of media!
For example, Steve Jobs in the electronics field, Warren Buffett in the investment field, Bill Gates in the PC computer field, Elon Musk in the aerospace field......
With Facebook, it is equivalent to having a ladder of gods!
When Donn returned to Los Angeles, the matter of New York was unexpectedly exposed.
First published by the heavyweight newspaper The New York Times!
The article, written by two reporters after an in-depth investigation, tells the story of a poor Italian boy, Rafilo Farrieri, who came to the United States to defraud by taking advantage of the church's business opportunity to sell real estate.
He wants to pursue Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway to gain greater popularity, to get more attention from the rich, and get more investment.
Unexpectedly, Anne Hathaway was a good friend of Donne Walker, and when Don found out about this, he immediately discovered the strangeness.
After some investigation, it was found that Rafalo Farrière's words were full of lies. Then decisively call the police and notify the police.
A well-planned commercial fraud involving real estate, finance, churches, celebrities, tycoons, and politicians, the whole big layout has just begun, and it was lifted by Tang En.
Anne Hathaway also gave an exclusive interview to the New York Times: "To be honest, his first impression on me was very good, sincere, sincere, sunny and handsome. But...... I always felt that something was wrong, he was always showing off in front of me how rich he was, that he had a private jet and a private yacht. If it's really about falling in love, do those material conditions matter?"
"I've been in contact with some wealthy people, even the big five richest people like Donn, who are in the top five of Forbes' list. They give the feeling ...... It's always so warm as water, like a spring breeze, and you can always learn a lot in front of them. β
"Don in particular, I know there are fans all over the world who adore him. However, I still have to say that this is not enough, really, not enough! Only when you really get in touch with him can you know how amazing he is. β
"That's right, I told him what was in my mind. You know, Kate...... Oh, it's Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet. Didn't she get married and have children? You know that. We friends, went to see her together, and I told me about my troubles. As a result, many people, including Donn, Leonardo, and others, felt that the problem was very big. β
"The next thing you know, Don investigated the details of Rafalo Farierre through his connections, and the results were ...... He is indeed a liar! I would like to take this opportunity to warn all my colleagues that in the face of material things and wealth, if they can keep themselves clean and self-conscious, and do not take pleasure in things or feel sorry for themselves, they can have their own brilliance. β
Don read the report and laughed dumbly.
This Anne Hathaway is really eloquent.
If he hadn't intervened in this matter, Anne Hathaway would probably have been eaten by others, and there would not be even bones left!
Fortunately, now Anne Hathaway and Natalie Martinez have been arranged by Donn to be in King's Landing 2 Villa to be with Monica Cruz.
As long as there is time...... Don would go over and enlighten them.
Women, if you blindly only recognize money, sooner or later you will fall into the abyss.
At this time, Kevin Turner hurried to Donn's office.
"What's wrong? Mark's boy disobedient?"
Don was surprised.
At the level of Kevin Turner, ordinary little things don't make him so frizzy at all.
Thinkable...... It's the website that Don will focus on creating next - Facebook.
Kevin Turner shook his head and said, "It's not about Mark, that kid...... Don't look young, but really good, I talked to him a few times, and he was very thoughtful! Facebook domain name, we also bought it for $2 million. β
"And what are you?"
"It's Netflix!"
"Netflix?" Don was slightly stunned, a little puzzled.
Since New Globe acquired the IMDB website from Amazon and then integrated it into the Netflix system, Netflix's development has become more and more rapid.
At the beginning of the year, Netflix had only 2 million member users, but now in October...... Netflix has 5.26 million subscribers!
It was definitely a huge success!
Netflix's current subscription costs $20 per month. (It's actually $19.98, which is the monthly price of DVD rental)
Not counting advertising revenue, with such a huge number of subscriptions, Netflix's annual subscription revenue can reach $1.26 billion!
In front of Netflix, are there still enemies?
Kevin Turner said, "It's Pepsi!"
"Pepsi?" Donn's face showed a hint of mockery, "What? Could it be that he was spun off by the Viacom Group and given a new lease of life?"
Kevin Turner shook his head and said: "It is precisely because of the separation from Viacom that the pressure on Pepsi's survival has suddenly increased, so I have to make some moves to jump over the wall in a hurry to fight for my life." Pepsi's stock price continued to fall, and everyone understood that Pescard was overtaken by Netflix...... It's just a matter of time. β
"Dog jumping off the wall in a hurry?" Don En's face showed a bit of solemnity, "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Pepsicard is still the world's largest video tape and DVD rental company, so we can't afford to be sloppy." β
"I know, so I'm here to ask what you mean. We've gotten the news, Pepsi...... It's also time to engage in a monthly membership system. β
"What?"
Done's eyes widened.
Passcard also played with the monthly subscription system?
This hand is really ruthless!
In the past, 30% of Besda's revenue was late fee income, that is, fines for late returns.
If the monthly membership system is adopted, it is equivalent to giving up this late fee income.
This is a bold and ruthless decision!
Now Bescard, the rental business of video tapes and DVDs, has developed to saturation and has no room for growth.
With the rise of Netflix, the whole United States is harshly criticizing the late fee policy, and if Pepsi does not make changes, its performance can only continue to decline.
Then overtaken by rising stars.
After losing Viacom's protection, I really didn't expect that Pepsicard would come to survive with a broken tail!
Give up the late fee and switch to the monthly system!
It is estimated that I also saw the huge temptation of Netflix's more than 5 million members.
Moreover, the number of users continues to increase.
The outlook is too bright!
As long as the monthly subscription system can be developed, it will be a new lifeline for Best.
One trades off the other.
If the opponent is strong, Netflix's strength will be weakened.
Under the firm promotion of Donn, the New Globe Group has poured a lot of effort into the future of Netflix, and even gambled on the future of the Internet, bet on the streaming media business, and widely collect the streaming media rights of film and television works around the world.
If at this time, Netflix is facing a strong impact from Pepsi, I'm afraid it won't be wonderful.
Kevin Turner's face was solemn and said, "Boss, there's even worse news." β
