With a perfect money plan, Cang Yaozu's pressure was suddenly relaxed. Although he won Universal Pictures this time, Cang Yaozu's debt has also reached a new height, and it is impossible to say that there is no pressure.

This trip to the United States acquired Hotmail, a newly established company, which is not difficult to acquire, and the two founders have a strong intention to monetize. This also has a lot to do with Hotmail's poor technical background, the email system is a good idea, but it is not difficult for those big companies to imitate.

After all, email has been around for a long time, and Hotmail's innovation is just to bring it to the web. Of course, Hotmail has also made a lot of interface and feature changes to improve the user experience, which is also the icing on the cake.

Cang Yaozu took Hotmail down, more because of the very good linkage between email and instant messaging software, and now it seems that the effect is very good.

Next, under the guidance of Hotmail co-founder Shabir Bhatia, Cang Yaozu successfully acquired Shengdi Semiconductor, a memory chip design company that Cang Yaozu needed.

Before coming to the United States, Cang Yaozu had saved the idea of acquiring a small semiconductor company, but he just didn't expect it to go so smoothly. It is true that Shengdi Company is a listed company, but the market value is really not much, only about 200 million US dollars, which is much weaker than Kingston, Western Digital, and Micron, and it is a fabless IC design company, that is, Fabless, the industry's attention to it is not too big, and it is also at the trough of the development of the semiconductor industry, so the acquisition is quite smooth.

After winning these two companies, Cang Yaozu's trip to the United States this time was not a loss, and he spent a lot of money. Originally, it would have been similar to take in a few smaller technology companies and buy some shares of Cisco, Yahoo and the like. Unexpectedly, Cang Yaozu temporarily set his sights on Marvel again.

If Marvel wants to rise again, it will take about ten years, and Cang Yaozu actually doesn't need to rush to buy him, but I have to say that at this point in time, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime good time.

Now that the copyright of Spider-Man has just returned to Marvel, although the X-Men series has been licensed, the filming plan has not yet been started. At this time, if you take over Marvel, the return of these copyrights will be much simpler. After Cang Yaozu poached Robert Iger from Disney's ABC television network, after Iger's operation, Marvel's copyright was basically recovered, and the price paid was also within the acceptable range.

Marvel in this life will undoubtedly be stronger, and the attraction of the Marvel universe will be greater, especially today when Marvel and Universal are one, Warner and DC Comics are ready to take over.

Visiting old Wild, getting in touch with old Edgar Bronfman, and finally talking about Universal Pictures, this is indeed a bit unexpected by Cang Yaozu, he is not ready, but to reach a deal, Cang Yaozu's heart is beautiful.

Cang Yaozu's original plan was to consolidate the foundation of the technology industry first, enter the semiconductor industry through U disk and MP3, enter the communication industry through CRBT and music, and after acquiring ICQ, he promoted ICQ to go public to obtain cash, and incubate some Internet companies with these cash and ICQ's huge user base.

When he gained a foothold in the Internet industry, boiled his head, and then entered the Hollywood film and television industry in a big way, Cang Yaozu was eyeing Disney, and he naturally knew that around 2000, it was the weakest time for Disney, and also in 2000, it was the time when Cang Yaozu had the most abundant funds in his hands.

But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, he won Marvel at a premium, and won Universal in debt, although this was beyond Cang Yaozu's expectations, but it was also what he was happy to see, ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand. No matter how good Disney is, there are huge variables, and if the acquisition fails, it will be tragic.

Although Universal Pictures has been lonely over the years, and the controlling stake of the company has changed hands several times, Universal's foundation is still very good, and although Universal Studios is not as good as Disneyland, it is not too bad.

There are now only two Universal Studios, one in Los Angeles and one in Orlando. As for Universal Studios in Osaka, Singapore and Yandu, construction has not yet begun.

There are now four Disneylands, four in Los Angeles, Orlando, Tokyo and Paris, and the Disneyland in Xiangjiang has not yet been built. Of the four Disneylands, only Tokyo Disneyland made a profit, and the other three were all loss-making.

And Cang Yaozu has set his sights on the Universal Studios project, and the money owed to the Bronfman family will come out of it.

As for Google and Netflix, Cang Yaozu chose to create it himself, I believe that with his guidance, these two companies will definitely reach higher heights in this life, which is necessary, otherwise, Cang Yaozu will have no face.

Reed Hastings is not a guy who is willing to be subordinate, since he chooses to stand on the opposite side of Netflix, then Cang Yaozu will naturally crush and rub him repeatedly, Cang Yaozu doesn't believe that he will do worse than Reed.

Google, on the other hand, is still in its infancy, and among the four hegemons of Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Google, Google is the latest to start and the most difficult to start.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin are even more obsessed with technology, and Cang Yaozu directly took out a large investment and shares, just to envelop these two, as long as these two don't start from scratch, Cang Yaozu has nothing to fear.

Cang Yaozu never underestimated those who succeeded in that life, but attached great importance to it, after all, if it wasn't for rebirth, he and others would not be at the same level at all, so if there is a chance to be enveloped at the initial stage, then try to envelop it, and if it can't be done, you have to find a way to strangle it, in order to reduce the difficulty. No way, no one will choose Hell difficulty if there is a choice.

The acquisitions of Apple's Newton and MIPS are some of the preparations for the acquisition of ARM. When he came to this era, he naturally had to make some layouts, and Cang Yaozu didn't want to be controlled by others like those companies in Huaxia in this life, it was too embarrassing.

Speaking of the four hegemons, Ge Liqin once asked Cang Yaozu why he didn't buy Apple and Amazon since he was so optimistic about them? You must know that Apple's market value has fallen to more than $2 billion, and Amazon has not yet gone public.

It's really not that I don't want to, before Apple invited back Jobs, Cang Yaozu asked Melissa to ask, and Apple's shareholders didn't agree to sell it to her.

Apple is in the darkest period, in 1995 Apple wanted to sell for $7.3 billion, no one took over, in early 1996 Sun wanted to buy Apple for $3.8 billion, and in the second half of the year, General Electric wanted to buy Apple for $2 billion, but these deals were not negotiated.

No matter how arrogant Cang Yaozu is, he doesn't think he has more cards than General Electric and Sun.

As for Amazon, not to mention, Jeff Bezos was born on Wall Street, he is very familiar with various financial means, and he is very seldom with equity, and it is really difficult to get some equity from him. Equity is really not something you want to buy, you can buy if you want to.

Apple and Amazon are like two cold goddesses, no matter how poor they are, they can't just get on if you want to, they are so virtuous.

Indeed, whether it is Steve Jobs or Cook, there are not many Apple shares in their hands. The bald Bezos holds a little more of Amazon's shares, almost 16 percent.

In the next few days, Cang Yaozu relaxed. Finding Giselle, the two begin to show their affection at various attractions in New York.

Universal Pictures and TV Network handed over to Robert Iger, Cang Yaozu was very relieved, Robert Iger was also very excited, now he can show his strength, especially after hearing about Cang Yaozu's overseas expansion plan for Universal Studios, three in China, two in Southeast Asia, and one in London if possible, this is going crazy rhythm.

Cang Yaozu is very satisfied with the acquisition of Universal Pictures this time, after all, Universal has the status of one of the six major Hollywood companies and has perfect overseas distribution channels. Moreover, this acquisition, he does not need to pay now, but also gets those subsidiaries of Universal Pictures in advance, so that Cang Yaozu can lay out the film and television industry as soon as possible, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan also has huge support.

And the Bronfman family is also very satisfied, disposed of the loss-making business in their hands, and sold the liquor company at a good price, the next step is that the family can travel lightly and boldly transform, since little Edgar Bronfman likes to do the music industry, then work with Cang Yaozu to make the music record industry and the envisioned digital music industry, the future income will be greater, Cang Yaozu promised that their music will be integrated and listed.

Everyone is happy, this is a win-win situation, Cang Yaozu's death hole is a lack of cash, there is no dragon slaying skill, no dragon slaying knife.

The Bronfman family wanted to transform the industry, but they could not avoid the pains, and the development of new fields was difficult and the losses were serious.

Through this cooperation, the Bronfman family got the future, and Cang Yaozu got the present, so a win-win or even multi-win deal, Cang Yaozu hopes to have a little more.
