Chapter 175 New Projects

Since the '80s, Hollywood has developed an almost unshakable super-stable structure of monopolies by six multinational media conglomerates, which not only have a vertical monopoly on all aspects of film production (which has a monopoly more than in the pre-fifties) of the big studios, but also across all other media sectors. No matter how ambitious an independent production company is, such as Orion and Carlock in the '80s, DreamWorks and Miramax in the '90s, or the new line that rose to prominence with "The Lord of the Rings," they can only take turns for three or five years, none of which want to be integrated entertainment groups, but they can't.

Nothing like Joe's Pixar, Spielberg's DreamWorks, and New Line can do, as a single production company, they are close to the limit of their excellence, and in order to develop further, it must be integrated vertically and horizontally and other links, and this cannot automatically grow from the existing interior, which is the same reason as Disney, which cannot be transformed into a media group on its own, like other old guys to be acquired.

No matter how big MM is, he will inevitably embark on this road, but he has Mark as a bull in different places, Sophia as a backer, and Oracle as a backing, which makes his future full of uncertainties, at least he has the possibility of transforming into a dragon and becoming a big group.

Mark doesn't seem to have any layout, and vetoed Meghan's acquisition of newspapers, magazines, radio stations or a small TV station to create his own propaganda platform, he knows one thing, media channels, has been carved up by the Big Six, not they are newcomers and small companies can get involved, and the future belongs to the Internet, he is now focusing on investing in Brother Gu and Facebook, it will take a few years to make a power, then it is the time for MM to compete for the world, and now it will be a few years to be a grandson.

So in the promotion part, they still have to pay Warner, Viacom and them a lot of money for advertising, to promote their movies, and Mark and they are also advertising on Gu Ge, their own business, the price is much cheaper.

Faced with tremendous pressure to cut back on corporate and personal expenses, Mark decided to make a big deal and had the foundation's John Dewey invest in an Internet company called Obvious, which was run by Biez Stone, Evan Williams and Jack Brown. Dorsey co-created the Twitter service, which was initially used to send text messages to friends' phones, but in late 2006, Apparent upgraded the service so that users could receive and send messages through instant messaging services and personalized Twitter sites instead of entering their own mobile phone numbers.

Blogger founder Evan M. Williams is one of the founders of the company, the current blog technology, does not reflect much value, the grass creation of the Obvious company only investment no income, life is dry, for the foundation's 10 million venture capital, is very welcome, any self-made business, grass companies, including Brother Gu, are inseparable from the support of venture capital companies, micro blog companies are no exception, with money, you can do technology without worries about life, buy equipment, recruit manpower, upgrade services, bigger and stronger, and strive to keep up with Brother Guใ€‚

Prior to this, they had applied to many venture capital firms, but they were not invested, and the Wang sibling family foundation took the initiative to invest 10 million US dollars in them, obtaining 30% of the equity.

In the future, this company will pile up Twitter, and change its name to Twitter, becoming one of the major Internet media companies, the first president of the later generation, tweets at every turn, and governs the country with Twitter, and the world calls it the president of Twitter.

There is also Meghan's suggestion to buy a small TV station, which triggered a certain aspect of Mark Lenovo, they do not have the ability to buy and operate TV stations, but there must be a video promotion platform, is there a more popular video platform than YouTobe in the future? Even better is that it has not yet been founded.

Mark asked Dewey to form YouTobe, and found three PayPal employees, Chad Hewley, Chen Shijun, and Judd Karim, to join the company, which uses FlashVideo to broadcast a variety of video content made by uploaders, including movie clips, TV shorts, music videos, etc., as well as other uploader-made amateur films, such as VLOGs, original films, etc.

The original YouTube company was founded on Valentine's Day in 2005, founded by three former PayPal employees such as Chad Herley Chen Shijun and Judd Karim, who were unemployed and in debt, Chen Shijun and Hely conceived online video and audio in the garage to discuss the plan, and asked Karim to help, its original intention was to facilitate the sharing of video clips between friends, and later gradually became a memory repository for netizens and a place to publish works, which can become bigger and stronger full of accidents and luck.

Now Mark's establishment of YouTube, very targeted, mainly to promote and promote MM's film and television and star information, but also to provide a platform for the majority of netizens to show themselves, show themselves, the resources he has are not the original three can be compared, these three as founders and employees joined, with the opening of YouTube in 205, providing a simple way for ordinary computer users to upload videos.

With its simple interface, YouTube can make any video that has been uploaded to the network to be watched by audiences all over the world within a few minutes, which makes netizens from traditional receivers of information to information publishers, and suddenly becomes popular all over the world.

Let netizens take the initiative to participate in all their staff, this is the way to its success, by no means the promotion of capital and the effect of Ming, Mark understands this, so at the meeting, he repeatedly emphasized this point to Dewey and Chen Shijun, he is the boss, there is money, he just put forward requirements and thoughts, as for how to do it, that is Chen Shijun and their technicians have to consider, and the operation has Dewey, as one of the co-founders, the four of them have 20% of the shares in addition to salary.

Mark knows that YouTobe will be super popular, and will be acquired by Brother Gu for $1.6 billion in nearly two years, it is a big fat pork, when he recruited these three people to join him, he promised a high salary, but the other party did not nod if he didn't have equity, plus Dewey, 20% is the bottom line, Mark also wanted to find another person, but without Chen Shijun, Heley, and Ma Qilin's YouTube, would it still be that YouTube? In the original version, they had no funds and resources, but with their ideals and enthusiasm, they played a piece of the world, this is a person with luck and passion, and they should be reused.

Got a micro-blog company, got YouTube, although the capital chain is tighter, Mark is in a good mood, as long as there is no mistake, these two companies will bring them tens of billions of revenue, Mark sighed in his heart: "Brother, my dick is explosive, the world is invincible, but unfortunately no one knows, within ten years, I want Buffett to be embarrassed to call the god of stocks, my Mark is the fucking god of stocks." โ€

Two consecutive investments, the cost is only about 20 million, this income is amazing, which makes Mark feel a little less huge debt pressure, he knows that the next few years, will be quite difficult years, as long as the difficult beginning, Brother Gu, Facebook, Twitter, Marvel, YouTube into the blowout era, he also dares to break with Bill, the boss of the technology industry, the world's richest man.

These two investments were completed in three days, they have injected capital into the micro-blog company, so that these poor guys have a rich Christmas and New Year, and YouTube will prepare after the New Year, and strive to be established on Valentine's Day, and Mark paid these three guys a month's salary in advance, so that they can have a happy and happy holiday, Mark is their big boss, and the real leader is Dewey, the vice chairman of the Wang Brothers and Sisters Family Foundation, he is a professional manager, and Mark is the chairman of the foundation, Donald is the vice chairman, but it is Dewey who is really responsible for the workใ€‚

Mark thought, this time he can rest assured that he will have a Christmas, there are two days of rest, he can stay in the palace with the beautiful little stunner Amber for a day, and then let people send her home for Christmas, he used to despise Xiao Lizi, and he had a new love after two or three days of breakup, and he had no heart and no love at all, and now it is his turn, and he is also such a good, as a man with strong blood, the long night of leaving a woman is so lonely and sad, and it is difficult to sleep.

Amber is actually a good girl, a rare delicate and beautiful face in Europe and the United States, the figure is protruding forward and backward, very hot, Mark he is very addicted, he said that he would save money and bought a car for her and deposited 50,000 yuan in the card, which shows his love for her, this girl is a little arrogant, as rough as a boy, but the soil girls of the United States, that is not like this, they can't learn the classical calmness, noble and elegant of the English rose.

Mark also thinks this is not a big problem, the girls around him are almost the same, and there is nothing to be picky about, he wants to date Kate Middleton, that is the Princess Kate, but since he was in college, he has been dating Prince Charles, who belongs to the royal family, what makes Mark suspicious is her homosexual experience, which is very strange for Mark, if one day, she empathizes with each other, Mark will feel even more ashamed, if it weren't for the fact that this girl is too beautiful, too good at pleasing people in bed, making it difficult for him to give up, he would have been separated a long time ago.

Mark's idea is to get along first, ride a donkey to find a horse, if there is no horse, they have to settle down, they get along, and they can't be affectionate for a long time, which can't be blamed on one party.

Mark was about to call Amber, but Meghan called in first, and she was still straight to the point, saying: "Mark, come to New York right away, I have asked you to book a ticket for you at Heathrow Airport with Global Airlines!"
