In December, **payment reached an agreement with Amazon, Taobao, Jingdong and other shopping websites, **payment will be connected to these platforms in the form of third-party payment platforms, but **payment is not directly connected to Amazon, Taobao and other shopping websites, but to connect with Alipay and other payment platforms to connect Taobao.

During the same period, the gold medal network company established an overseas Tao website.

This is a shopping site, but unlike other shopping sites, overseas shopping is not based on domestic shopping, but based on foreign shopping.

Users can directly purchase goods from other countries on overseas Taobao.

When this website first came out, not many people cared, although some people thought that foreign brands were good, but more people felt that since foreign brands were all moving in, it was the same to buy those foreign brands in China.

Therefore, overseas Tao is not very popular, but tepid.

However, Li Lin doesn't care, he knows very well that this is just the beginning, with the outbreak of some negative news one after another from domestic brands, the overseas Tao industry can really become popular, and whoever enters the market first will have an advantage.

Moreover, as a gold medal group, overseas Tao has a natural advantage, because overseas Tao adopts ** payment as a third-party payment platform, and the ** payment overseas partner is Wells Fargo, which ensures the stability of the exchange rate settlement system.

In January 2011, ** payment officially announced that it had exceeded the 100 million mark. The number of ** users exceeded 140 million, and the number of ICQ users exceeded 400 million worldwide. The pace of the rise is staggering.

February. The new work "Zhuangzi" starring Li Lin was released, a historical masterpiece similar to Confucius, which broke 100 million in just three days after its release, and 200 million in the first week.

Although in 2011, this kind of achievement is not very good, but a historical work can reach this point, which is beyond many people's expectations.

And Li Lin also relied on this movie. won the Golden Horse Best Actor in one fell swoop, becoming the first actor in Li Lin's 9 years in the industry, which represents the real recognition of Li Lin's acting skills by the film awards.

During the same period, Li Lin's "To Michael. "Jackson" won the Grammy Award for Best Album in one fell swoop, successfully crowned the king in the United States, and was officially recognized by the global music industry.

In March, ** officially exceeded 200 million users, becoming the world's largest mobile instant messaging software.

April. Li Lin's new album "Towards a New World" was released, which faced the world's mainstream music market for the first time in the form of an all-English song, and sold more than 1 million copies on the first day of release, of which the title song "stronger" just appeared. It was on the first place on the American Billboard with a cool rhythm.

At the same time, he won a Grammy nomination.

In May, Gold Group entered into talks to acquire HBO and Time Warner, the largest pay-TV station in the United States. HBO has always positioned itself as an upscale, ad-free pay-TV station.

At the time, HBO made this decision. Many people have laughed at the fact that HBO will soon go out of business, but in reality. HBO didn't just go out of business, it got better and better.

The reason why Li Lin wants to buy HBO is entirely because of HBO's huge TV payment market and huge library of self-made dramas.

These are a very big addition to his entertainment paradise.

And more importantly, as a mainstream media, the TV station has a very wide influence, and once Li Lin gets HBO, it represents the official formation of the entire industrial chain of the Gold Medal Group.

He will transform from the entertainment industry to a media conglomerate.

For this reason, Gold Group's offer to Time Warner is $20 billion.

$20 billion is a very tempting price for Time Warner, whose market value has now slipped to $80 billion, you know, the current price of HBO is only $16 billion, a premium of up to $4 billion, which makes Time Warner tempted almost instantly.

But they hesitated.

Because the sale of HBO will have an even bigger impact on Time Warner's market value, which is already worse, they are considering whether the profits from the sale of HBO can offset the evaporation of the market value.

After two consecutive days of meetings, Time Warner finally responded to the offer to acquire Gold Group.

"Agree in principle with the acquisition of HBO by Gold Group, but the price still needs to be discussed."

As soon as this news came out, Time Warner's stock price immediately plummeted, and the stock price of Gold Group immediately rose in response.

Everyone knows the benefits of an American television station, and it is also the largest pay television station in the United States, and for Huaxia, it is exciting news that a local Chinese company has acquired the largest commercial television station in the United States.

As a result, the stock price of the gold medal group rose in an uproar, and soon exceeded 420 billion Chinese dollars.

You know, at this time, the exchange rate of the yuan against the dollar has risen to 6:1.

Time Warner's stock price plummeted to $76 billion, which was completely within Time Warner's affordability, so the negotiation teams of the two sides began to negotiate.

June: Li Lin announced his participation in the literary film "The Artist".

"The Artist" is the work of Michael. Hazanavicius's new work, as the famous French director, Michael . Hazanavis, like other famous French directors, sought investment from Hollywood's major giants, and Li Lin took a fancy to the film at a glance, so he asked the Universal-Gold Group to invest in Michael. Hazanavicius's "The Artist", as a price, Li Lin will participate in the main role in this film.

In July, Gold Group and Time Warner announced an agreement for Gold Group to acquire Time Warner's HBO for $21 billion, which represents the loss of HBO, the largest pay TV station in the United States.

As a result, Time Warner's stock plummeted, with its market value falling below $70 billion, while Gold Group's stock soared, with a market capitalization of more than $80 billion.

In August, the copyrights of all HBO TV stations and the inventory of purchased dramas were all listed in Entertainment Paradise, and even Entertainment Paradise added an HBO section to recommend HBO TV series specifically for users who like HBO.

At the same time, Entertainment Paradise has also opened HBO network TV stations in China, and TV dramas from HBO will land in Huaxia in the form of pay, which is equivalent to HBO opening a TV station in Huaxia.

This is also the current very loose management of network TV stations.

If you wait until after 2014, it will be basically impossible to land in China in this way in disguise, because by that time, the Central Propaganda Department has begun to strictly grasp the websites with online media attributes, except for those pirated websites and small websites, it is basically impossible for other regular websites to introduce American dramas on a large scale.
