Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 611 The purpose of utube

After "Microsoft" acquired "ve" in Lin Feng's hands, Lin Feng had US$5.15 billion in cash, and also successfully raised money from "Google", obtaining 5% of "Google" shares.

For this series of transactions, many financial experts and analysts are confused and envious.

What makes these experts puzzled is why Lin Feng invested 500 million US dollars, but only wanted 5% of "Google". The financing price is still too high. Compared with other investment banks' nearly half-price financing, this move is really stupid.

Regarding Lin Feng's behavior, many financial analysts in the United States originally wanted to criticize and ridicule Lin Feng's stupid investment behavior, but before they could contempt, slander, and ridicule Lin Feng's words, in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had 55 US dollars a share, 250% higher than the market price, sold "ve" which was acquired for 180 million US dollars a year ago to "Microsoft" for a total price of 2.85 billion. Lin Feng made a full profit in one year 1558% profit.

It's faster than robbing banks to make money, and even faster than printing money.

Looking at the data in their hands, many financial analysis experts are speechless. This "y" is really good at making money, and I admire Abby Cohen's vision even more. Of course, I also secretly rejoiced that what I and others were about to ridicule Lin Feng did not appear on the paper, otherwise, if it were published in the newspaper, they would be here mocking Lin Feng's stupid acquisition behavior, while "Microsoft" on the other hand bought Lin Feng's "ve" at a high price. ", then they will be embarrassed.

As for who is the idiot, I am afraid that all readers can see it.

Of course, compared to these almost missteps and thousands of experts who have hated for thousands of years, the real distress is Sony Records' Motorola. In this unified "blocking operation" by record companies around the world, Sony Records is undoubtedly the hardest and most anxious. The 50% copyright in the hands of Michael Jackson is a sweet pastry that makes all record companies covetous. Sony Records must be able to get it. Even if Sony Records cannot get it, it must not let other record companies get their hands on it.

But under repeated pressure, Marceline Records did not move, and the calmness was frightening. In particular, Lin Feng, who originally supported Marceline Records, recently raised money from "Google" and sold "ve", making a big splash in the IT world, and he has a lot of glory, but he didn't help Marceline Records solve the current predicament at all. action.

This is too unusual, but Motola can't find any trace of Lin Feng's actions, but as the president of the world's largest record company, Motola faintly senses a hint of danger that is about to come. It's a pity that this is just a feeling. As the president of Sony Records, he can't use his feeling to lead the operation of the entire company, and he can use his "feeling" to direct everyone.

so,

Others will be dissatisfied, and he himself will find it ridiculous. Therefore, Mottola could only focus on Lin Feng and Avril Records, paying attention to Lin Feng's every move.

"Lin, what should we do now?" Avril asked while pinching the tender flesh of Lin Feng's waist, snuggling into Lin Feng's arms.

"Don't worry, it will be resolved soon." Lin Feng said confidently, pecking Avril on the face slightly.

"Hmph, you have to hurry up. My two singles won't be able to hit the charts if they drag on like this." Marceline pouted.

Lin Feng smiled and stroked Marceline's long golden hair. Although Marceline said it was for her record, it was actually for Michael Jackson. Now Michael Jackson is in a dilemma.

The most important thing is to release a brand new album after joining Marceline Records, as well as a series of business plans. But if Lin Feng can't solve the blockade of global record companies, Michael Jackson will not easily release new records and develop related business plans.

Retirement means leaving Marceline Records and joining any record company, and this "global ban" will naturally disappear. However, Lin Feng gave him hope again, and Michael Jackson didn't want to jump into another fire pit again. The world is as black as crows, and the reason to dare to accept his record company at this time is definitely not because of his fame, but because of the 50% Sony record copyright in his hand. This, of course, is unacceptable to Michael Jackson.

Between this dilemma, Michael Jackson was naturally extremely awkward and in a dilemma.

A day later, Liu Yingying arrived in the United States with several backbone members of "Dingdang.com".

"Boss, congratulations, you've accomplished another great job." Liu Yingying congratulated sincerely. Unexpectedly, during this trip to the United States, Lin Feng actually created another miracle, which is really admirable. Of course, what is even more admirable is that Lin Feng dared to challenge the global record companies.

"Hi, Yingying, I haven't seen you in a few months, she's even more beautiful." Lin Feng said complimentingly.

In front of Liu Yingying, not only her temperament is more and more outstanding, but the heroic spirit between her eyebrows is not inferior to any man. In addition, the influence of "Dingdang.com" is expanding day by day, and the level of acquaintance is getting higher and higher. Liu Yingying's gestures, Show the elegant demeanor of a successful lady.

"Hehe, boss, your rhetoric is even more pleasing to the ear!" Liu Yingying caressed her long hair, smiled lightly, and glanced at Lin Chiling, the number one supermodel in Taiwan behind Lin Feng, who was also Lin Feng's secretary, and shook her head helplessly. "Also, there are always so many beauties around you."

Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. Lin Chiling was surprised. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng's "Dingdang.com" had such a detached and outstanding female president. And relying on a woman's intuition, Lin Chiling faintly felt that Liu Yingying had something unusual about Lin Feng.

After exchanging pleasantries, let's get down to business.

"Boss, currently Dingdang.com has USD 200 million in working capital, and its business involves industries including electronic products (large home appliances, small home appliances, mobile phones, etc.), clothing, etc., and its 'Unlimited Express' has spread all over the country. The vast majority of cities, towns, and villages in several remote areas such as Xinjiang and Xinjiang." Liu Yingying said confidently.

After two years of development, especially after Wang Juntao, the former "father of e-commerce" in China, joined the business, "Dingdang. "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China", "Dingdang.com" has become the first shopping website for many young shoppers in China.

At the same time, "Dingdang.com" began to slowly enter Hong Kong and Macau, opened a website in traditional Chinese, and cooperated with HSBC Bank in Hong Kong. Netizens in Hong Kong and Macau can directly use bank accounts such as HSBC to buy what they want on "Dingdang.com". s things.

According to the plan jointly formulated by Liu Yingying and Wang Juntao, they plan to gradually set foot in Taiwan, and then enter South Korea, Japan and other countries, gradually expanding the influence of "Dingdang.com" to Asian countries. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng suddenly asked him to come to the United States to set up a branch of "Dingdang.com", which disrupted the plans of Liu Yingying and others.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to shift your focus to the US market right now, but to focus on the domestic market. For the time being, we only sell products from Marceline Records and some cheap electronic products in the US." Lin Feng explained with a smile.

Eat food one bite at a time, not fat. If you want to fully open up the US market and continuously sell cheap Chinese products to the US, that is not what "Dingdang" and Lin Feng can do at present. Now, Lin Feng is just taking this opportunity to fight against the global record company "blocking Marceline Records" to let "Dingdang.com" lay a solid foundation in the United States.

After getting Lin Feng's affirmation, Liu Yingying also heaved a sigh of relief. If "Dingdang.com" is really allowed to aggressively attack the US market now, it would be a bit of a loss. Later, when Liu Yingying set up the US branch of "Dingdang.com", Lin Feng suddenly patted his forehead when he was planning to start an Internet radio station, how could he forget this website - utube.

Utube - the largest video sharing site in the United States, was founded in 2005 and was later acquired by "Google" for $1.65 billion. This is definitely a favorite. Compared with the "Tomato Network" founded by Lin Feng's company "Second World", "utube" has one of the biggest differences.

Affected by domestic policies, "Tomato.com" can only provide official videos, and netizens cannot upload videos. In "utube", any netizen can upload videos with a capacity of no more than 100m and a length of no more than 10 minutes. The completely open architecture also makes "utube" the most influential video website in the world, with thousands of videos every day It is spread to "utube", but "utube" itself does not cost a penny at all, it only needs to provide network bandwidth and hard disk space.

Thinking of this, another idea came to Lin Feng's mind, an idea to combat the "global ban" initiated by Sony Records this time. However, the premise is that "utube" must be established first. Fortunately, at present, no one in the United States can compete with Lin Feng. Moreover, the establishment of "utube" now has another advantage, which diverts the attention of Motorola, the president of Sony Records.

Otherwise, he would be aware of the establishment of the US branch of "Dingdang.com" by Motorola. At that time, it will be a surprise.

To establish "utube", three people are indispensable, the three founders of "utube". Lin Feng was also lucky enough to remember their names - Chad-Hurley, Steve-Chen, and Jawed-M. It is also because of three names They are quite characteristic.

As for finding these three people, it couldn't be easier. Compared with the influence of "Baidu" on China, Lin Feng must admit that the influence of "Google" on the United States is absolutely earth-shaking, especially for all American netizens.

In China, if you log in to "Baidu", although you can find all kinds of information, due to domestic policy restrictions, more information cannot be shared. And log on to "Google", you can find almost all the information you want to know.

After Lin Feng logged into "Google", he only needed to input the names of the three people, and people with matching names in almost all of the United States would come out. After screening, Lin Feng could easily know the whereabouts of the three people at this moment.

Chen Shijun and the other three are currently working for an Internet service provider called "paypal" (Chinese name: PayPal) in San Jose, California, USA. Lin Feng directly contacted the three people through q, and after telling the three of his thoughts, the three heard about it, and told the three with their keen sense that this was definitely an opportunity.

The three of Chen Shijun immediately resigned without hesitation and joined the "utube" video network that Lin Feng had just created. Lin Feng held 85% of the shares, gave each of the three 5% of the shares, and appointed Chad Heli as the chief executive officer, and Chen Shijun As the technology executive, Judd Karim is the consultant.

In just a few days, with the abundant financial support of Lin Feng's investment of 5 million US dollars, the "utube" video network was established, and the first videos were some precious personal videos of Marceline Marceline and Michael Jackson.

In order to expand the influence of "utube" as soon as possible, Lin Feng not only allowed his own "fsn-n" TV station to roll out advertisements, but also spent millions of dollars to insert advertisements on major TV stations across the United States, and took advantage of his status as "Google" One of the advantages of directors is that netizens who log on to "Google" are the first to pop up the link of "utube" when searching for websites such as videos.

With Lin Feng's financial resources and the support of "Google", the "utube" video network became popular rapidly, and its open setting that can upload videos freely has allowed many individuals who have shot many precious videos but have no place to publish them. Opportunity to show yourself.

In just one week, "utube" has seen more than one million views per day, and the average number of uploaded videos per day has exceeded 8,000.

For Lin Feng's creation of "utube", Motorola, who is always paying attention to Lin Feng, is naturally clear. But he didn't understand what Lin Feng meant by this move? While the tube site could help Marceline promote her records, it's useless if it can't be sold online.

Just when Motorola was puzzled, Lin Feng made a move. Lin Feng uploaded a top-secret video of an interview with Marceline on the music channel of "fsn-n". In the video, the host asked Marceline why the major record stores in the United States did not sell her latest single. Marceline admitted that she did not know. . Afterwards, the host interviewed many record stores and came to a conclusion that the national record stores refused to sell Marceline's records.

Once this video was uploaded, the hit rate was huge. In three days, it reached a staggering more than six million views. Those who listened to Marceline's latest two singles "end" and "u-are-went-away" Fans, I can't find Marceline's latest two single CDs in the major record stores. I thought it was because Marceline's own record company had a supply problem, and most of them are still waiting. Now after watching this video, I immediately understand.

Led by some die-hard Marceline fans, thousands of Marceline fans gathered, wearing clothes with Marceline’s face on them, holding banners, shouting slogans, and shouting——We want Marceline, we want Marceline! ——These fans demonstrated at the largest record store chain in the United States, "Taoer Records", demanding that "Taoer Records" sell Marceline's records.

Hmph, is this your plan! ——Motola's hanging heart was completely let go, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes. He originally thought that Lin Feng would be so clever, but unexpectedly he attacked the record store, which is undoubtedly digging his own grave. If you offend the record store, which record store will sell your records in the future. Even if you are forced to sell it, you will put your record in the most inconspicuous place.

Of course, what made Motorola unhappy was that Lin Feng didn't let Marceline attack the record store in person, but asked his TV host to "fire" on the record store. This undoubtedly allowed Marceline to avoid the limelight. No need to offend the record store yourself.

If Marceline personally attacked these record stores, Mottola would have the opportunity to personally destroy this star who dared to grab food from her "bowl". (In Motola's mind, it is believed that Marceline Records and Michael Jackson partnered to seize the 50% copyright of Sony Records. Marceline Records belongs to Marceline, and Motorola naturally has feelings for Marceline. In addition to resentment, of course, there is also Lin Feng, who is also the enemy that Motorola most wants to get rid of.)

As for these Marceline fans who are making troubles and making troubles, Mottola doesn't pay attention to them at all. Thousands of people's parade demonstrations can't cause much trouble at all. And Motorola has too many ways to solve it.

After a phone call, "Taoer Records" faced the reporters who heard the news and announced that it was because the record store had adopted a new review standard. Some of Marceline's records did not meet their standards, so they temporarily stopped selling them. Marceline's record.

This statement obviously did not satisfy Marceline fans, but it made Marceline fans unable to object, after all, there are still some indecent words occasionally mixed in Marceline's lyrics.

However, die-hard fans immediately protested that one or two indecent words were included in Marceline's lyrics, which is a characteristic of punk style and cannot be used as a basis for not selling Marceline's records. And once again protested that the record store did not sell Marceline's records!

Hmph, mob! ——Looking at the protests of Marceline's die-hard fans on the news, Mottola said disdainfully.

While many die-hard Marceline fans continued to make trouble, Mottola teamed up with other record companies and major record stores to offer discounts and promotions for all records, and launched other popular superstar selections.

Under these multiple promotional activities, the fan base that took the lead in making trouble quickly disintegrated. After all, there are still a small number of real hardcore, especially most people don't just listen to one person's song. Facing the joint promotion of record stores and record companies, no one can ignore it. What's more, when the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson's tens of thousands of fans complained about Michael Jackson, they didn't cause a storm, and Marceline's tens of thousands of fans naturally couldn't do it.

A star is a star, if you want to fight the company, you are too young! ——Motola was drinking champagne proudly, watching the most die-hard fans on the TV screen gradually leave after the demonstration failed, and Motola was full of pride.

"Lin, why didn't you let me come out?" Michael Jackson couldn't help asking when he saw that Lin Feng's plan to use fans to criticize the record store failed in the end. He believes that with his appeal and influence, there will be more fans and greater demonstrations. After all, in Europe, whether in London or Paris, tens of thousands of fans once cheered for him. In the United States, Los Angeles, New York and other places, Michael Jackson believed that his fans must be more.

"Michael, it's not the time yet. Be patient." Lin Feng said soothingly.

Motorola, this is just a preview, the fun has just begun! —— Lin Feng said confidently.

Lin Feng's real purpose in planning this fan demonstration is to allow the establishment of the US branch of "Dingdang.com" to proceed without any interference. So far, the effect has been remarkable. "The establishment of the US branch. Of course, the action of the fans this time was just an introduction, an introduction that was pre-buried for future plans. And Motorola didn't realize the real power of "utube".

"Boss, the U.S. branch of 'Dingdang.com' has been established and has reached an online payment agreement with several large banks in the United States. At the same time, it has reached a contract with 'FedEx' for express delivery across the United States." Liu Yingying said with a long breath.

"Well, you've worked hard." Lin Feng poured a cup of coffee for Liu Yingying and thanked her.

In the past few days, in addition to supervising her subordinates to step up preparations for the website of the US branch of "Dingdang. FedEx” was very busy negotiating business. In just one week, the flight journey exceeded 10,000 kilometers. It can be described as extremely hard work.

"Hehe, I can't help it. Who calls you the boss? My subordinates. You are born to work hard!" Liu Yingying shrugged helplessly and said, "By the way, boss, has Sony Records found out about our plan?"

Lin Feng shook his head. Due to Lin Feng's high-profile plan to build "utube", Motorola's attention was attracted to "utube", and in order to control the rioting Marceline fans, he came up with many methods, such as discounts and promotions, All the thoughts were devoted to dealing with the troublesome fans, and the establishment of the US branch of "Dingdang.com" was naturally ignored.

"Boss, when will we launch 'Dingdang.com'?" Liu Yingying asked.

"No hurry, wait until I meet someone, no, after a family!" Lin Feng rarely showed uncertainty and hesitation in his eyes.

Liu Yingying was taken aback, she rarely saw Lin Feng being so hesitant and uncertain, so she subconsciously asked, "Who are you seeing?"

"The Walton family, the owners of the world's largest chain store - Wal-Mart!" Lin Feng's face showed a little hope.

Liu Yingying was surprised when she heard this, she didn't know why Lin Feng was looking for Wal-Mart!
