The idea of filming has been germinating for some days.

During this time in the United States, with the company of all daughters and children around his knees, life was indeed comfortable, but as time went by, Lu Qiu inevitably returned to his original intention, that is, the goal he set for himself to conquer the Oscars.

Peacock is the beginning, the Tangshan earthquake is to have a clear conscience and save more people, if there is no Yan Xmen, he will continue to choose an international script and move towards the goal, but now avoid the United States, and once the layout for the Tangshan earthquake is completed and the plan is implemented, he will not be able to return to China within a year or two, if he only runs Pangu Investment for such a long time, it is contrary to the original intention of Luqiu, so he has long begun to think about returning to his old business in the United States and filming new dramas!

In terms of specific operations, Lu Qiu also has several ideas, such as setting up a new film company, or merging and appointing ready-made, the least of all, simply participating in the filming as an actor, but these are all excluded by Lu Qiu.

The establishment of a new company is time-consuming and laborious, Lu Qiu does not have that mind; mergers and acquisitions are ready-made, in 05, Sony acquired MGM, even cash and debt, a total of 5 billion US dollars, capital is not a problem, but MGM is a pit, who jumps and who dies, 10 years and bankruptcy and reorganization, Lu Qiu is too lazy to work hard in this mess, as for simply participating as an actor is a joke, he is a Chinese, it is impossible to get an important role, pure waste of time.

After thinking about it, Lu Qiu didn't find a good entry point, and it wasn't until Harrison Cafu asked him to report on the company's investment situation that Lu Qiu was inspired and had an idea.

"Oh, boss, that guy is going crazy, you put him in charge of the merger and acquisition negotiations between Skype and eBay, don't be too wise, this guy is tortured to death!"

Harrison is as exaggerated and funny as ever, he doesn't chase Lu Qiu now, he is focused on his career, but he has always had a problem with Jeff White, because that product made him deflated on Finger Works, so I wish that thing was unlucky.

Jeff White is currently dealing with the merger and acquisition of eBay and Skype, as in the previous life, eBay is willing to pay $1.3 billion plus equivalent shares to buy Skype, which Luqiu agrees in principle, but Luqiu does not want eBay shares, insists on PayPal's equity, PayPal is PayPal, 02 years was wholly acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion, and later split and listed independently, the market value actually exceeded the parent company eBay, which can be seen that the development of eBay is really unsatisfactory, so Luqiu abandoned eBay shares and directly aimed at PayPal。

The importance of the payment system is naturally clear to eBay, so Jeff White's negotiations have reached an impasse, and the issue of PayPal shares has been tug-of-war, and Harrison is gloating because of this.

"Okay Harrison, you also help Jeff, PayPal has a bright future, you must try to get the most shares." "Lu Qiu doesn't mind that his subordinates have contradictions, but when it is time to be unanimous, it must still be external.

Harrison immediately said: "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do, Jeff is at a dead end, we can lower the cash limit in exchange for more shares, I believe eBay will agree." ”

Lu Qiu nodded, satisfied with Harrison's attitude.

Harrison also reported on other investments, LinkedIn, Facebook is developing very smoothly, Harrison's self-invested Eubiquiti and Kayak are also unexpectedly high-quality, the former is a big bull in the field of wireless communications, and Kayak is the previous travel search company renamed from, Lu Qiu then remembered the company's past and present life, it is the largest travel search service provider in the United States, and was later acquired by the world's largest online travel company Priceline, Harrison seems to be very discerning.

Lu Qiu was inspired at the same time and said: "Harrison, you will contact Niel later, there should be a company similar to KAYAK in China, let him pay attention to it and enter the investment as soon as possible." ”

Luqiu is associated with Qunar.com from Kayak, and it should have just been established at the beginning of the year, so it was just right to enter. As for Niel, it is Shen Nanpeng's English name, Ctrip was listed in the United States at the end of 03, and the stock price rose nearly ninety percent on the first day, reaching more than thirty US dollars, and by the beginning of this year, it has stood above forty US dollars, Pangu has invested a total of 20 million US dollars in Ctrip, accounting for sixty percent of the total 30.4 million shares after the IPO, and it is currently worth 800 million US dollars, and Shen Nanpeng withdrew from Ctrip, and Lu Qiu naturally pulled him into Pangu according to the plan and became the second core partner after Xu Xin.

In other words, investments like Ctrip, Qunar and even Homeinn, although the rate of return is okay, but the total income has made Lu Qiu not interested in paying attention, after all, a skype cash can recover 1.3 billion US dollars, not to mention Facebook and LinkedIn, so Lu Qiu's focus on new investment is basically on the United States, and the domestic hand over to Xu Xin and Shen Nanpeng is enough.

After the scheduled investment report, Harrison mentioned something new, "Boss, the online video site you asked for attention has also appeared, led by Chinese Americans as smart as you, and it just so happens that they are also former employees of PayPal, and I have followed your instructions to step in the investment and make sure to get the most shares." ”

Lu Qiu was overjoyed, "Is it YouTube?"

Harrison nodded.

Lu Qiu is naturally happy, this is another golden rooster, like Skype, invest this year, and next year Google will acquire it for $1.65 billion, so it's not too easy to make money.

"Good job Harrison, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope this year!"

Lu Qiu made a promise that if he wanted the horse to run, he would have to give the horse grass, whether it was an investment according to his intentions or a project of his own choice, so far, Harrison's performance has made Lu Qiu very satisfied, and it is reasonable to give a big reward.

Harrison is happy, he knows that the boss has always been generous, and if he says that a big red envelope will not be small, his enthusiasm for work is unprecedentedly high, and even the development of Netflix has been reported to Lu Qiu in great detail.

And the mention of netflix plus the previous YouTube finally triggered the inspiration of Luqiu.

It is really difficult for him to intervene as a foreigner in Hollywood's traditional production and distribution model, but it is not too easy for him to intervene in the traditional film and television model of online video, after all, Netflix is the boss of the American online streaming service provider!

In fact, Lu Qiu had considered this day when he first invested in Netflix, but his original plan was to let Netflix develop normally until it grew into a behemoth that made all the major Hollywood giants tremble, but now the situation dictates it, and he found that it is a good choice to get involved in Netflix's online video business early, which can not only give him something to do, shoot self-made dramas, but also lay the development direction of Netflix in advance, and win at the starting line more easily, killing two birds with one stone, it is a stupid choice not to do so！

With a decision, Lu Qiu immediately contacted Hastings and told him what he thought, and Hastings immediately objected.
