Chapter 126: An Internet Tycoon Infiltrating the NBA

"Kraft, who do you think is the business core of Team Yao?" asked Ouyang Haotian with a smile. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Ruan Erniu thought for a while and said, "The answer is definitely not Zhang Mingji, I guess this person should be Bill Duffy, right?"

Ouyang Haotian nodded and said: "That's right, this person must and must be Bill Duffy, the so-called Chicago Business School's 'business model', the so-called packaging of the domestic broker team, these are actually secondary."

The only one who can really open the way for Yao Ming is Bill Duffy! Do you know what that means?"

Ruan Erniu refused: "You won't let me fire Leon Rose, right? I can't promise you!"

Ouyang Haotian was not in a hurry to speak, and after taking another sip of tea, he said slowly: "I know that you will never fire Leon Rose now, but I dare to predict that this CAA agent will not be able to keep up with you sooner or later." ”

Then, Ouyang Haotian smiled again: "It's not early, let's be specific, I have prepared some domestic endorsements for you, which will be sent to you by express delivery later, after you have chosen, you can call me, during this time, I will stay in Los Angeles temporarily." If I need to, I'll fly to Atlanta right away. ”

Ruan Erniu asked, "Are you in a hurry to go back to Los Angeles in the past two days?"

Ouyang Haotian said, "Do you have something?"

Ruan Erniu nodded and smiled: "Since you want to be my partner, I happen to have a big business here to discuss with you......

……

"Kraft, the man has arrived, and I have sent his number to your phone, and I don't know what you're trying to do, but I'm doing my best this time!" Josh Childis said on the phone.

"Thank you, buddy, I'm giving you those signed sneakers!" Ruan Erniu said on the other end of the phone.

On November 21, 2007, Nguyen Er Niu greeted the two guests at his rented apartment.

One is, of course, Ouyang Haotian, who met last night, and the other is Brian Acton, a college alumnus of Josh Childis.

An ordinary Silicon Valley**.silk, after taking off the coat, a typical t-shirt + denim.

Of course, if you have to say that Brann Acton is **, I'm afraid there is something wrong. After all, he was the vice president of engineering at Yahoo a few months ago. However, this was before he left.

Acton is now an unemployed worker, and not long ago, he went for an interview on the thriving Facebook, but unfortunately, he didn't get a chance to meet Zuckerberg because he was eliminated before that.

This 35-year-old white man, like his rising hairline, is suffering from his own crisis in the prime of life.

"Hey, Mr. Nguyen, even though the Chinese food you make is delicious, I still have to say that my next job will be in Silicon Valley, not a restaurant!" Brian Acton said after gobbling it up.

Ruan Erniu and Ouyang Haotian glanced at each other and said, "Actually, I asked my teammate Josh to find many of his Stanford alumni to help, but I think you are the most suitable person!"

Acton wiped his mouth with a tissue and said casually, "Why? Because I was just rejected by Facebook?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "No, the reason is that only you have enough qualifications but are idle at home!"

Acton's face changed suddenly, and finally he said helplessly: "It's really an unpleasant but irrefutable reason." ”

Ouyang Haotian on the side suddenly asked, "Brian, why did you choose to leave Yahoo?"

Acton thought for a moment and said, "Because Yahoo can't give me room to use my talents, they've reached a dead end, especially since they've cultivated their competitor Google to the point where they are today." ”

Ruan Erniu continued: "So, you are looking for a space where you can display your talents, rather than looking for another job in the IT industry. If you want to work another job, a Chinese restaurant may not be a good choice!"

Acton said bluntly: "Okay, Mr. Ruan, let's talk about something practical. As an NBA star, what do you want me to do?"

Ruan Erniu put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up his iPhone and said, "Do you use Apple's mobile phone now?"

Acton shook his head and said: "No, I personally prefer to use Nokia, I have also tried the iPhone, but I personally don't have so much demand for the movement of the phone, I still prefer the phone with a stable signal." In fact, the iPhone is not the world's first smartphone, Motorola launched the A6188 in 2000! Of course, at present, Motorola and Nokia have been left behind by Apple in the field of smart phones. ”

Ruan Erniu nodded and said: "That's right, the iteration speed of mobile phones is amazing, and I am personally optimistic about the future of mobile terminals, which may be the future development direction of the entire Internet!"

Acton was amazed that an NBA player had such a business vision, whether he was right or not, at least he had such an idea, which is amazing in itself.

Could it be the idea that this man named Steven gave him?

However, Ruan Erniu didn't give him much time to think, and then said, "Have you ever used Skype?"

"Why don't you just say if you're an alien, what does this have to do with our topic?Wait, what do you mean......" Acton is not a fool, and it is impossible for many years of IT elites not to be sensitive to the industry, he has already guessed a little Ruan Erniu's mind.

"But how can you be sure that Steve Jobs will have your app appear on his iOS system?" Acton asked.

Ruan Erniu said very irresponsibly: "I don't know, this Apple tyrant is said to be moody, and I don't know if he will release iOS apps." I'm betting on a trend, a trend that is very likely to fail, Brian, would you like to go with me and take a gamble?"

"Crazy, you must be a madman!" Brian Acton shook his head constantly.

In his future autobiography, the IT legend wrote: "The Kraft Nguyen I first met was neither a sports star nor an IT superstar. If I had to look for a comparison, the man who cooked Chinese food around the halterneck chef's skirt might be more like a Chinese chef, and it wasn't until this guy told me to make an app that I realized that my previous judgment was all wrong.

But even so, I don't want to make a fuss, at least at the time, Kraft's business negotiation skills were so clumsy that people want to laugh, and God knows how he managed to get Johnny Han before. Luckily, now Steven is on his side.

Sometimes, you have to admit that some people are just supposed to be leaders at the right time, even if they have always been a layman, even if they don't know how to program or manage a business. ”

John Rockefeller, a famous entrepreneur in the United States, once said: "Only the paranoid can succeed!"

Once Ruan Erniu made up his mind to come to the "table", he would be paranoid enough to bet on a future trend.

This point was determined by his communication with Trump on the plane that day!

PS: Actually, in addition to the alternative title of "The Ultimate Low Killer", there is also an alternative title of "Internet Tycoon in the NBA". I finally got to this place, well, I can say for sure that the last two were not watery at all!
