Chapter 183: Some People Are Doomed to Be Brilliant

Cang Yaozu's current strategy is to set up obstacles on Amazon's way forward, and at present, Cang Yaozu has made several layouts, first, to acquire music companies, collect music copyrights, and then build his own music store, so that Amazon's music store can't be opened, or can't become too large-scale, and at the same time, it can also snipe Apple's MP3.

Second, the establishment of Netflix, one purpose is to hold the rental and sales market of optical discs in hand, and the other is to crack down on Amazon's disc sales business. At the same time, the layout of the streaming media and film and television content production industries, in these two fields, Amazon and Netflix twenty years later are also a pair of enemies who fight to the death.

3. Acquired the NuvoMedia new media company of Martin Eberhard, the father of Tesla, and is currently developing a rocket e-book reader, and also found the team of MIT to develop electronic ink, and invested them to establish Eink, Cang Yaozu invested 15 million US dollars and got 70% of Eink's shares, and the R&D team occupies the other 30% of the shares with technology. This is to cut off Amazon's path as an e-book reader. Kindle may belong to Cang Yaozu, he is a typical person who walks the path of others and has no way out.

Well, can these three initiatives kill Amazon? Absolutely impossible. The development of the enterprise depends on the leader, is Bezos so easy to admit defeat? Even if Cang Yaozu occupies the first hand, will Bezos give up?

Naturally not, but anyone who can succeed has a paranoid side, and the more difficult it is, the more effort he may try, and the greater his achievements. Some people are destined to be brilliant, like Bezos, and then like Jobs.

Maybe Bezos will invest in color ink technology, but without the Kindle, there might be no other reader. Cang Yaozu's various layouts may force out a more powerful Bezos and a more powerful Amazon.

Of course, Amazon may choose another path of development, but no matter which path it is, as long as Amazon does not die, it will always become an opponent with Cang Yaozu's Internet company in the end, if Cang Yaozu can fight his way out of the encirclement and avoid the sanctions of some countries.

When a company reaches the top of a field, the most likely thing to do is to expand horizontally. Amazon, Google, Netflix are all like this, and Cang Yaozu's company will be no exception. What's more, in this life, Google and Netflix were both founded by Cang Yaozu, and he will naturally embark on a path of confrontation with Amazon, which is not something Cang Yaozu can choose.

Of course, if the confrontation may be serious, then the competition is good, even if you don't tear your face, if you are engaged in the same field and business, you will naturally be natural mortal enemies, even if Cang Yaozu and Bezos become friends, they will not change each other's positions.

Now Cang Yaozu relied on his foresight, boldly carried out a variety of financing and borrowing, and then accumulated a lot of funds and some resources through the Asian financial crisis, he has a higher starting point, and the next thing is to occupy the position of the leader, through a large amount of money to burn money, to establish enough lead, and then use the Matthew effect to do his best to suppress the development of those giants in the previous life and these competitors in this life.

Cang Yaozu also feels that he is too shameless sometimes, rebirth is equivalent to opening the whole map, while other players are still in the fog of the map, and now they have to set obstacles to increase the difficulty, which is indeed a bit obscene. However, who called Cang Yaozu not a talented player, you can't let Cang Yaozu pretend to be a second fool, do you still want to kneel and lick these big guys, it's better to have a few more lives, in case you are lucky enough to be reborn as a big man.

Blocking the bigwigs, taking the bigwigs' path so that the bigwigs have no way out, this is the glorious mission of Cang Yaozu. People, you still have to push yourself, in case you can be more successful, Elon Musk if he doesn't engage in Tesla electric cars, maybe he can realize the Mars immigration plan in advance, and if Intel loses the server market, maybe he can focus more on the field of personal PCs and push PC performance to a higher level.

The change is not terrible, maybe all the humans of the Azure Star can benefit from it. Of course, in the first few years, Cang Yaozu still had to be reluctant, and when he got enough chips, then the changes in this parallel world could not be stopped, and Cang Yaozu would inevitably usher in the counterattack of those new and old giants.

Therefore, in addition to setting up some obstacles and engaging in some countermeasures, Cang Yaozu will also pay more attention to his own development, so he acquired icq, and in that life, icq sold himself to AOL early because of the lack of funds and other congenital conditions, but AOL crippled icq. Cang Yaozu is still abundant at this stage, so he wants to try to list ICQ independently and try to build a social empire.

Of course, there will be some difficulties in doing so, such as the possibility that Mi Di's sanction stick may come early, which is very possible, Cang Yaozu has a strong sense of distress, he must not underestimate the shamelessness of Mi Di, the bandit gene of this country has been deeply rooted in the depths of his soul.

From Alstom to Toshiba, from VIA to ZTE, from 5G standards to Douyin short video applications, when those unscrupulous companies hook up with shameless politicians and take up political weapons, there is no bottom line, and Cang Yaozu must have the power to make them jealous.

These fearful forces, in turn, will irritate them and make them even more bottomless. Therefore, if Cang Yaozu wants to attract enough allies, he must have his own basic plate. When the bayonet really came to the moment, in fact, the industry on the side of the Midi was almost all about to be abandoned, and Cang Yaozu's basic plate was still in China, in East Asia and Southeast Asia, where a population of more than 2 billion was the biggest foundation.

If South Asia can be covered, it will basically be relatively safe. The West Asia is in chaos, and Cang Yaozu doesn't want to get involved. Nearly half of the population and market of Azure Star are enough to play.

Just this summer, in the middle of July, ICQ is about to go public, Melissa, Sherrill and Ge Liqin are busy with dogs for ICQ's listing, but this kind of busyness is what they are happy to do, and when ICQ is listed, it will be the biggest success of the three of them, Cang Yaozu has already expressed his attitude to them, and it was Sherrill who went to the NASDAQ to ring the bell on the day of the listing.

It is precisely because Cang Yaozu did the shopkeeper and didn't even ring the bell, so he was able to go to Costa Island in the southwest of Florida to play camping, he and Jennifer rented a luxury RV and stayed at the camping base in Cayo Costa State Park on the island, Cang Yaozu and Jennifer went to the waves for a while every day, and then walked on the beach, picking up shells, or took out sun umbrellas and deck chairs, lying quietly on the beach, blowing the sea breeze.

There are not many people here, and it is relatively quiet. Cang Yaozu and Jennifer's bodyguards and assistants are in charge of logistics and help with procurement, so there should be no danger here. If there is a danger, it is probably a hurricane.

According to media reports, Hurricane Danny is forming, but it is estimated that it will not be until mid-July if it will make landfall in Florida, and there are still a few days to go. According to the prediction, the destructive power of Hurricane Danny is not strong, but Cang Yaozu and the others have also made a complete plan for retreat, if the prediction is not accurate, then running away is inevitable.

Foresight is not a foresight, and Cang Yaozu is not confined to vacationing in Florida, although the scenery is great and there is also the famous affluent area of Palm Beach. Well, there are quite a few Citigroup billionaires here in Palm Beach, especially those who are engaged in finance and traditional wealthy families in industry, and this is their base.

Cang Yaozu has no property in Palm Beach, and he has no plans to buy property in Miami. Therefore, this visit is indeed a simple seaside vacation. Originally, Cang Yaozu planned to go to Lanai, but Jennifer thought that Lanai was too far away.

Some time ago, Melissa had bought the sixth largest island in Hawaii, and David Murdoch finally relented, not only the island, but also Dole Company was also transferred to Cang Yaozu, and the price paid was $550 million in cash and 1% of ICQ's shares.

David Murdoch is indeed not young, he is more interested in biology and medicine, he wants to live to be 125 years old, so he has long planned to sell part of the industrial company. This time, ICQ's IPO was imminent, and David Murdoch finally made up his mind to get a 1% stake in ICQ before it went public. Of course, for this 1% of ICQ's shares, Cang Yaozu also signed a guaranteed repurchase clause, a two-year $1 billion repurchase clause, which is equivalent to putting the dollar into a safe, and David Murdoch is very satisfied.

Cang Yaozu's private jet has not yet been obtained, but Boeing said that it is about to be delivered. If you want to go from New York to Lanai now, you have to transfer in Los Angeles, then land in Honolulu, and then transfer to the ferry to Lanai, which takes about a dozen hours, which is indeed a bit far.

There is a small airport on Lanai, but it can't accommodate large planes like Boeing 777s, so even if Cang Yaozu's private jet gets his hands on it, even if he doesn't have to transfer in Los Angeles, he still has to land in Honolulu.

Cang Yaozu already has a plan to expand Lanai Airport, if it cannot be expanded due to the terrain, Cang Yaozu will also choose to build two new runways elsewhere on the island, which requires the advice of professionals, and Cang Yaozu has asked Melissa to find someone to go over and survey the terrain on the spot.

Boeing 777 has certain requirements for the runway where it lands, such as the length of more than 2,200 meters, and the width also has certain requirements. What Cang Yaozu plans to build is two runways that are 3,600 meters long and 90 meters wide. In short, the airport problem, this is a problem to be solved as soon as possible. After all, there is no big airport, and even the most luxurious private jet will not be able to land.

The luxury villa complex on Lanai Island has not yet been built, so Cang Yaozu is not too interested in running over to play at this time, so he agreed to Jennifer's request and came to this Costa Island in southern Florida. The scenery and the conditions are pretty good, well, except for the hurricanes.

When surfing today, the wind and waves were a little big, but Jennifer accidentally fell off the board and fell into the sea, although she quickly climbed up, but her interest was not high, so she ran back with Cang Yaozu and lay on the beach to blow the sea breeze, the sun in July is still a little poisonous, even if Jennifer wiped the sunscreen, she was still tanned a little more than Cang Yaozu.

This makes Jennifer very unbalanced, Cang Yaozu's skin is too good, the most excessive thing is that Cang Yaozu still has a bunch of necklaces and bracelets on his neck, and he doesn't take them off on the beach, showing off his wealth properly, which is even more extravagant than a woman like her.

Cang Yaozu didn't tell his women what kind of magical effects these gems had, and he was going to surprise them. Of course, Cang Yaozu himself actually doesn't know what kind of gem our mysterious princess has taken a fancy to. To be honest, these gem warehouse Yaozu really didn't want to wear them, he was mainly too cumbersome.

When he chooses the most suitable gemstone for making energy beads, Cang Yaozu doesn't have to show off his wealth so nakedly, presumably strangers won't feel why this guy is so burnt when they see him, and the women who are with him can also be more relaxed. Indeed, a big man wearing a bunch of gemstones and jewelry is really not a thing, and it would be bad if he was targeted by those robbers again.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening after eating the seafood barbecue dinner made by Cang Yaozu, and the wind was indeed a little strong today, the two of them ran into the RV early to do exercise, the bodyguards had two cars not far away, and the others went back to the nearby town.

Jennifer, who refused to admit defeat in the sport, challenged Cang Yaozu twice, and the result naturally ended in Jennifer's complete defeat, she felt very tired and tired, curled up in Cang Yaozu's arms, listening to the whirring wind outside the RV, thinking in her head, but don't come to any hurricane, she still wants to play here for a few more days, her consciousness gradually blurred, and soon fell asleep.
