Daniel has always had a good reputation in the tech world.

In the beginning, it was because he started a wave of craze in the Internet field. Many people hear about Daniel for the first time. The name Sandler started from the huge contrast between his fitness photos and "School Blues". Since then, in the past four years, the Internet has been in full swing, but no star has been able to surpass him, and the wave of Internet craze, driven by Fred's team and the growing number of fans, has made Daniel almost equal to Internet entertainment.

This trend became even more pronounced as his huge influence on Blogger and MB developed.

The leap change is still starting from last year's "Greek Wedding", and the pop-up publicity, active promotion, target group segmentation and social media marketing plan he created have all made Internet technology companies refreshed. The huge benefits that MB has received from this cooperation have also made many investment companies feel very regretful, because according to the scale of MB's development, if it is not for this opportunity, financing will be imperative, and now this action has been postponed indefinitely.

What's more, although MB's major shareholder is not yet known, but among the participating companies, Google is brewing an IPO plan, which means that it is impossible to lack money in the short term, and if the major shareholder is willing to dilute the stake in exchange for Google's injection of development funds, then there is no business for them.

However, the scale of MB-affiliated enterprises, including Google, is already very huge, especially in the past year or so, MB's extraordinary achievements in business cooperation have made this community of interests indestructible. If you want to promote MB's interests by lobbying the policy sector and rights holders, it is basically impossible to choose.

A start-up is valued at hundreds of billions, and everyone can see its value, and the more so, the fewer people dare to act rashly.

The expansion of the Science and Technology for All Foundation, announced in May, is the latest development in the collaboration between Daniel's team and Silicon Valley.

There is no doubt that Silicon Valley is becoming more and more important in the economic map of the United States. It also added fuel to Daniel's arrogance. In comparison, Hollywood's total output value of tens of billions a year cannot be compared with Silicon Valley. If it weren't for Hollywood's responsibility to export America's soft power and culture, and for democratically elected nations. Stars have a certain amount of influence, and Hollywood would not have the status it has today.

This time, several major tech giants jointly invited Daniel to visit Silicon Valley, which can be said to further carry forward Daniel's Silicon Valley label.

The long-term integrated media has enough to analyze from this.

In the world of film entertainment. He has billions of global hits, he is the youngest member of the 20 million club, he is the youngest winner of both Oscar and supporting actor, and his production investment has benefited more than 100 million.

On the issue of social affairs, he will challenge the president and fight against senior congressmen. Appointed as a senior ambassador to the United Nations, leading and participating in gatherings of tens of thousands of people. This has basically surpassed all Hollywood stars who are interested in social topics, and even some politicians do not have the prestige of him. Schwarzenegger is running for governor of California, and it is not for nothing that Daniel is being proposed, although it is not mainstream opinion due to his youth and educational qualifications, but both campaigns are trying to pull him into their camp. On the premise that the two candidates are about the same, Daniel even has the influence to influence the outcome - especially for Schwarzenegger, who is in the lead, and a large proportion of his voters are familiar with Hollywood. In other words, this part is also the most susceptible to Daniel's influence.

Now, as the first Oscar-winning actor to be invited to Silicon Valley, Daniel's influence has clearly spread to a new field – the tech world. And even the business community -- this is the most powerful force in the United States, and as the country of money, the power of these businessmen dictates all the policies of this country.

Therefore, after the analysis, many people are blatantly discolored.

USA Today even went so far as to say that "this young man, without a doubt, is under the age of 30." One of the most influential people in the United States and the world. ”

This comment is strongly corroborated by the fact that his trip to Thailand this year was accompanied by a meeting with the Prime Minister of Sivana, and that Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand would accompany him to visit the local refugee camps - this is already a state guest treatment, and of course there is no lack of the country's leaders' desire to use him to promote their intentions, but this is itself an integral part of the influence.

So, this trade-off turned out to be a milestone for Daniel to reach a new level.

……

"Fake Gods" was 67.32 million in the first weekend, changing the "staggering state" of Daniel's first two works that slowly crawled to the box office.

In fact, by the end of May, the North American box office of "Hotel Rwanda" had reached more than 95 million, and it was a relatively normal estimate to reach more than 100 million. It is generally believed in the industry that the film's compassion for the war victims and the sincere expression of the cruel side of the war are important reasons to impress the audience during this time period, in other words, "Hotel" has encountered a "good" time, if it were not for the US-Iraq war, it would definitely not have today's results, and even half of it would be dangerous. As far as Daniel knows, "Hotel" was supposed to be released next year, when the war was still going on, but the intensity was completely incomparable, and its box office did not exceed 40 million in the end.

Another movie "The Pianist" with the help of the Oscar Dongfeng and the word-of-mouth accumulated by the previous platform release, the box office is also quite good, released a few days later than "Hotel", but the box office is even higher, and after this week, it should be able to break 100 million.

As a result, Daniel's billion-dollar gold body was unexpectedly preserved - you know, after he took over "Hotel Rwanda" and "The Pianist", even the most optimistic marketers predicted that he would be stripped of the halo of more than 100 million yuan per film after "School Blues".

It can only be said that God is really on his side.

Two niche literary films, with the help of the opportunity of the war, made a fortune in the city.

And the ensuing "Fake God" is extraordinary, and it is set to break 100 million next week, and it is very likely that the box office of "Spy Shadow" is also very high.

This makes it clear to the market that Daniel's appeal in mainstream films, whether comedy blockbusters or drama blockbusters, is still unquestionable.

Universal Pictures' enthusiasm for Daniel has also reached a peak in the past year. Two of their most high-profile and profitable films are starring Daniel. Bright. Meyer's leading role in this decision also put him in the Stasi. Even more attention has been paid to Comcast management.

This was crucial for Daniel's return to Hollywood.

Now, however, more follow-up on these matters is in the hands of his subordinates, who are responsible for their own work, so that Daniel can devote more energy and time to investment and social affairs.

……

Mountain View in Clara County is home to Google, which is now famous in the United States.

Daniel stepped into Silicon Valley for the first time. Originally, the scene of rushing around with a computer in hand everywhere did not appear. However, there are not many pedestrians, and the occasional sight of some is no different from other Americans.

So, in the media to see Jobs and Mark. Geniuses like Zuckerberg are not the norm in Silicon Valley.

More unexpectedly, he saw a lot of Chinese.

But it is not clear whether these are second-generation immigrants or the top students of those well-known universities in China.

Larry. Page was personally waiting for him at the door, except for the reporters who came with him. There are also some reporters who are squatting here, and it seems that many of them are various online media and technology media, the former is quite familiar, and the latter Daniel is not very familiar.

He had met with Paige but had not spoken in particular depth.

Today was obviously a wonderful new experience for both of them.

Men still make up the vast majority of Google's engineers, but Daniel's popularity hasn't been compromised. Maybe it's because of his anti-war stance, or maybe it's because he starred in movies like "Gladiator" and "Spy" that also appeal to men. All in all, Daniel felt good in the face of the warm applause of a group of senior programmers.

Page whispered to him from the side. "It's definitely Bill. Gates' treatment. ”

"Really? I don't have as much money as him. ”

"He's twenty-five years older than you."

The two looked at each other, and Daniel had a lot of changes in his opinion of this skilled master.

"Given your enthusiasm, I would like to give you a piece of advice." Daniel said to the tech talent, "If Google goes public." Don't sell your shares, I promise that you will be amazed by the growth and return of this company, and you are serving and creating a great company that will be respected by all, and it will have global glory. ”

This prophetic statement. Let even more enthusiastic applause resound throughout the office, and this time, even Page applauded.

"You know, Daniel is now working part-time as a prophet, so it's better to listen to him and work hard to get more equity incentives." Page teased.

Ever since Daniel delivered his world-famous foresight speech at the ceremony of his appointment as Goodwill Ambassador, he has been a favorite to use this point, both mocking him and supporting him. The former said that he thought he was "God", "baseless" and "gibberish", and thought that it was a joke for a star who had not been investigated in detail and had no professional background to make such a sensational prediction. Proponents say that the future of the U.S.-Iraq war can be seen by anyone with a brain and vision, and Daniel clearly falls into that category.

Daniel shrugged helplessly.

"Yes, I'm going to run for the atheist cardinal next year."

Then, amid everyone's laughter, they went to visit other departments. Google was his first and most purposeful stop.

The previous technicians were actually part of the purpose, as some of them were the talents that Mark was going to bring to F2F, not to mention Shirley, who was standing in the crowd. Sandberg – She is now the second-in-command of the department in charge of online sales. Previously, he cooperated with his colleagues to win the search business of AOL, which greatly consolidated the confidence of Google's listing.

After a quick round and turn around several departments at Google, Daniel's entourage waited in the large conference room, and Google's executives, except for those who accompanied him, returned to their posts.

Daniel himself and Larry. Page entered Page's top office.

Of course, he would not be an uninvited guest, in fact, some intentions had been communicated a long time ago.

The relationship between Mark and Daniel is also in Page's hands.

He is also well aware of MB's actual equity relationship.

Therefore, in his opinion, this is not a celebrity to interview the company, but an industry boss of the same status to discuss cooperation.

The determination of this impression is very beneficial for negotiations. At least Page's attitude is very "correct", after all, his net worth is actually not as good as Daniel, although Google is much larger than MB, and the development is better, but compared to Daniel's shareholding in MB, Page's own shares have long been diluted to a relatively small part in several rounds of investment, his shareholding in Google is 16%, only less than a quarter of Daniel's MB, although Google's valuation is more than 6 times that of MB, but considering that Daniel also owns 16% of Blogger , 80% of Mountain Eagle, 20% of Weta Digital, half of DD Pictures' headquarters and all of the investment department, plus a billion dollars in cash, Larry. Page is indeed not as rich as Daniel, not to mention that Google has not yet been listed, and it is somewhat unreliable to calculate net worth according to valuation.

Page made Daniel a cup of coffee, and Google's break room was amazing, always stocked with delicious snacks and a variety of drinks.

Creating an environment where tech men can stay to death is very helpful in cultivating their employment inertia and company loyalty.

"It was Eric who came to talk to you. But after I discussed it with him, and with Sergey, I was the one to deal with it. ”

Now Google's CEO is not Larry. Paige, but Eric. Schmidt, the former Knoeller executive, joined Google as CEO in 2001 for the simple reason that neither the young Larry nor Sergey were competent managers, they were tech-savvy but not management-savvy, and when the company was getting bigger and more complex, and the business was not just about launching a product and constantly improving it, it needed someone who was more adept at it. Page later changed to product manager, which can be regarded as a "good person" for himself.

Daniel did it even more thoroughly than him, he didn't hold a specific position in MB and Mountain Eagle at all, he was only responsible for strategy, and the specific operations were all handed over to professionals.

So, Daniel also understands why Google finally asked Page to talk to him.

It's a deal between the founder and the founder, the ultimate decision-maker and the ultimate decision-maker.

"Mark was one of Google's first eight employees, and I don't even know what you used to convince him, after all, MB didn't get him to leave Google, so I was very curious. So, it made me determined to push the bottom line a little bit higher. "Page was very straightforward.

Daniel needs a little time to get used to it.

After all, dealing with technical men is still a very special experience. (To be continued.) )

PS: It seems to be temporarily blocked, and I don't know if I can send it out.
