() What is the history of Yahoo?

Roland didn't know.

What is the secret of Yahoo's success?

Roland didn't know.

What is the core of Yahoo beating all competitors and sitting on the throne of the first place in the Internet?

Roland is even less clear.

That's right, although living in the Internet era, but for those Internet bigwigs' success factors, then he doesn't know anything, if you ask him to analyze a film market, he may be able to talk endlessly, but let him write a talk about the development of the Internet, it can only be a fart, he is just a user, not a creator, and he has no ability to become a pioneer of the times.

If you want to do anything, you can do it, and you will succeed, isn't that just a dream?

If success was really that simple, he would have been above 10,000 people in his previous life.

Roland only knew that in the face of AOL's threat, Yang Zhiyuan rejected the other party's acquisition, and when the giant also made similar products, Yang Zhiyuan led Yahoo to stand out.

As for how they succeeded?

How much did Sequoia Capital, which invested in Apple and Cisco, help him?

What idea did Masayoshi Son, who has been tinkering with SoftBank since '81, give him?

Will Roland's intervention make a star product die suddenly?

There are no answers to these four questions!

Roland doesn't know if what he does will not have an impact on Yahoo, to put it mildly, he knows that he can't give the other party any active help except money, if Yang Zhiyuan needs him to help advertise on the TV station, or like Jack Ma at the beginning, find a way to get the cover of Forbes last time, so that the cover photo becomes the best business card when he goes out to negotiate, these resources Roland can help him get them, but what development suggestions do you want him to make?

If he really had the ability to guide the country, he wouldn't be waiting for Yang Zhiyuan here.

He has long formed a team of program apes and asked people to create websites according to their own ideas.

It is precisely because he is self-aware and knows that his most valuable asset is the memory of his past life, so he will hold on to the movie, and other projects only invest in nothing - compared with other industries, movies are his home field, even if there is a problem, there are a bunch of old antiques around him to help solve it; And those who he doesn't understand, or only understand the surface, can only believe in the power of professionalism, he is willing to invest money in their trial and error, and help them connect with the help that is most accessible to them, such as NBC propaganda media, such as Jobs's marketing genius, and for example, if you really can't do it, then ask Spielberg to help you contact Microsoft, see if they need a portal to tinker with IE.

As for the things you are not sure about, why do you still do them?

Warm thoughts**!

People, after all, have to have a good meal, and only when they solve the basic life will they have the energy to pursue the so-called dreams.

The 20,000 shares of Berkshire Hathaway are the foundation of his meal and the confidence to pursue his dreams.

Even if it fails, the net worth is still billions, so why not toss?

After throwing the goal of 'Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web' to David, Roland, who was relieved, did not bother with Yahoo anymore, assessed the market capitalization, negotiated investment, these things were done by the professionals David found, and Roland would not care about it at all.

Although it is a matter of age, through David's appearance, a lot of trouble can be saved, but even if he becomes an adult in the future, David will still be the number one candidate to manage the company, for no other reason, purely to rest assured and save trouble.

There are too many miscellaneous in a company, and Roland has no time to hang there, as for David absconding with money?

Hehe......

Your daughters are in my hands, where can you go? My first goal after earning money is to build a zoo for your daughter, you don't look at it as a father and don't help, it's okay, are you embarrassed to run away with the money?

What about the face?

This is called coercing cabbage to make the old man!

Because of this, he told the other party to contact Yang Zhiyuan and them in the near future, and after receiving an affirmative answer, Roland, who was in a happy mood, ran to Liqi's school to pick up the little guy who had already finished school.

Because he often comes, everyone in the school is very familiar with him, so naturally there is less onlookers at the beginning, and the moment he sees him, Elizabeth, who knew that Roland and his partner will go to San Francisco to play, suddenly showed a surprised expression.

Carrying a small schoolbag, she walked towards the door, and when Roland squatted down and clapped her hands and shouted, Xiao Gu Liang, who heard the sound reaction, instantly changed her smile, and rushed over, and directly bumped into Roland's arms.

The raised hair swept Roland's face, and the movement of losing the schoolbag was even faster than that of a monkey, allowing Roland to carry the schoolbag in one hand and pick himself up with the other, and the little guy who was wrapping his shoulder asked curiously.

"Didn't you go to San Francisco? Didn't you go to Stanford to play? Why did you come back early? ”

"I thought you might not have anyone to pick up, so I came back early." Roland opened his eyes and said nonsense.

"Really? Aren't you in a relationship with Reese? The little mushroom Liang lying on Roland's shoulder asked like a cat.

"Who said I was in love with Reese?" Roland looked confused.

"James!" Xiao Gu Liang sold her brother again.

"Hey! Your brother doesn't have enough homework, and the teacher needs to make up for him! Roland threw his schoolbag in the car and got into it with Xiao Gu Liang, "Do you believe him or me?" ”

"Believe you!" Xiao Mushroom Liang replied very simply.

"So......" Roland began to guide again.

"James lied to me again!" Xiao Mushroom Liang said very dissatisfied.

“bingo！” Roland snapped his fingers and raised his hand to rub the other's head like the golden lion king.

Xiao Gu Liang was used to Roland's actions, and he was still giggling when he bent down to dodge.

As for the driver in charge of the pick-up?

When Roland got into the car, he had already opened the liftgate.

…………

Although Roland's new project is being prepared in an orderly manner, the rumors from the outside world are not strong.

"Spider-Man" officially funded the project - everyone has heard of this.

"Spider-Man" super deluxe lineup - everyone knows this.

"Spider-Man" selected the heroine, and Gwen's style was exposed first - Reese's style has been seen by everyone.

That's right, no matter how Sony disseminates the news to the outside world, the impact of public opinion is very limited, and this result is also expected by Sony, not that Roland is out of breath, nor is Marvel on the street, not to mention that the luxury lineup of star directors can't arouse people's desire to watch movies, but that the entertainment industry is not a necessity for people's lives.

What's more, there are too many major events happening this year.

For example, in the whole of America, there are more than 40% of the cases of the century that the public is concerned about;

For another example, on September 27, Europe suffered the worst shipwreck since World War II, the Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea in southwest Finland, causing at least 852 deaths.

For example, on October 6, when Iraqi troops assembled on the Iraqi-Kuwait border, the United States and Britain immediately announced that they would increase their troops in the Gulf, which aroused strong protests from anti-war factions, but before they could start organizing demonstrations, five days later, Russia suffered Black Tuesday, the ruble depreciated by 30 percent in one day, and Wall Street financiers began to revel.

In the face of mainstream contradictions such as racial issues, social issues, territorial disputes, and financial issues, entertainment is a fart?

I didn't have enough food, clothing, warmth, and money, and I still had to pay taxes to pay for the war?

How can I have time to play at such a time?

So, don't look at 94 as the 100th anniversary of the birth of the movie, but the box office of the movie is a mess.

Except for "Forrest Gump", which everyone loves, other movies are basically low and low......

It is true that it is impossible for all people to pay attention to these acute social issues, and whether the ruble is depreciated or not, it is also the interests of a few people that are directly affected, and it is impossible for everyone to go to the streets to participate in anti-war demonstrations, but now is not the era of mobile Internet after all, people can't hold their mobile phones on the Internet, and watch those service providers use big data to provide themselves with news that will be of interest to them.

In this way, a situation arises -

Entertainment is still there, but compared to the sharp problems that arose at the same time, entertainment is a younger brother!

Yes, people do know that new movies have been released recently, but how many people are willing to watch them?

If you pull out the North American box office list in 94 and take a closer look, then you will find that the No. 1 "Forrest Gump" depicts the American dream that everyone wants, and the next "The Lion King", "Santa Claus", "Modern Primitives: Wrestling Attack Wave", "Dumb and Agua", ...... It's all movies with kids as the driving purchasing power!

Due to the impact of social problems, adults' desire to watch movies has declined rapidly, and the unaffected children have directly become the main force contributing to the box office.

Limited impact.

Want to be like "Jurassic Park" and "Home Alone 2" to trigger a wave of movie-watching?

Before asking this question, you have to ask yourself, are you worthy?

Have you just experienced the contradictions of various races? Or has it just gone up too much?

Are you a former anti-war activist? Or is it just a financial crisis?

Since no one can just do it, then just do your own thing honestly!

You can't be the center of attention all the time!

Because of this, Roland, who has been forgotten for the time being, is happy to be idle.

He doesn't expect to be the Franklin that everyone loves, but he can guarantee that he doesn't become the street rat that everyone shouts at.

When everyone didn't need him, he consciously didn't join in the fun.

Of course, life has to go on despite any problems.

In the case of a sluggish film market, TV programs that everyone can enjoy for free have naturally become the first choice for those who want to pass the time, and the one that has eaten the head dividend is "Friends".

The American drama, which only started filming on April 28, 94 and premiered on September 22, exploded as soon as it started!

That's right, this is indeed a drama that has been popular and has never been eliminated!

But the creation of all legends has always paid attention to the right time, place and people!

On the afternoon of the opening of "Friends", NBC had just done a special report on the first round of evidence collection in the Simpson wife murder case, and tens of millions of people watched the show, and shortly after the show ended, "Friends" was broadcast.

The second episode coincided with NBC's special report on the analysis of the Estonia shipwreck, NBC organized experts to guess the reason, and contacted the upheaval in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and explained the impact of the rush to buy ball supplies on the current society of America, and then tens of millions of people expressed concern about their own food problems, and shortly after the show, "Friends" was broadcast again.

You can say that the quality of "Friends" is excellent, but no matter how good the work is, without decent publicity, it is also a crotch pull!

And after NBC TV stations 'deliberately' kidnapped viewers twice in a row with social issues......

All the publicity, all saved!

Because of the existence of the Simpson wife murder case, "The Shawshank Redemption" died violently, but in the hands of NBC, the whole case is the best way for TV stations to retain people; Because of the shipwreck of the Estonia, there may be sharp contradictions between the movies released at the same time and the potential price rise, but in the hands of NBC, this is the best publicity for public TV dramas!

I don't need you to spend money, I will give you back the drama!

At times like these, free is the best for people!

So when the high ratings data is placed in front of peers, no one will envy NBC's results.

Not only that, Universal and Disney, which do not have a radio and television network, are also looking at Fox, Time Warner and Paramount - the former directly spent money to pull up the TV network with Murdoch's intervention, and Time Warner has become the world's largest media group through mergers as early as 90! As for Paramount?

Viacom, which owns CBS and V, is its parent company.

At the beginning, when these three companies were crazy about the cable network, the other two still felt that they had more money to spend, and now, everyone understands that when the film market is cooling, the cable network can still bloom with infinite possibilities!

It's a pity that Universal can't help himself, and they can't decide who Panasonic sells themselves to, but Disney secretly contacted Met, the parent company of ABC, and wanted to buy the other party at a price of no less than 15 billion......

Too late to build a radio network? Has the market share been carved up?

Then buy it!

Take the money and smash it!

15 billion is not enough, 16 billion!

16 billion, if not, 17 billion!

Billion billions of plus! I don't believe you don't sell!

Anyway, Lao Tzu is rich!

Lao Tzu has been beaten too many times! Lao Tzu just wants to beat people up now!

GM's NBC is using social news to build momentum for the entertainment industry, which is to watch Disney, although they have long had the idea of encroaching on the TV network, but NBC's big profit has become the last straw that crushes the camel's back.

While Roland is eyeing Yahoo and wants to seize the beach to land on the Internet, in addition to the involuntary Universal, everyone else is also growing: Fox and Time Warner have chosen the path of media and entertainment; Sony, on the other hand, wants to set standards for home entertainment through game consoles and film and television entertainment; Disney, which owns the brand and entertainment IP of the first park of the ball, will understand that the first in the industry is bullshit through continuous money, and that if you have money, you are the real father; Paramount, on the other hand, said that if Viacom did not fall, he would not go bankrupt......

Hey, Paramount and Universal, the guys who give people sons, are actually the most pitiful babies in the circle......

And just when Disney couldn't wait to show his money ability, the old man, who hadn't been in contact with Roland for a long time, finally released his big move that he had been holding back for four years in October.

Led by Microsoft and followed by Samsung, DreamWorks, which received a billion-dollar credit loan from Chase Bank, was established.
