Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 667: Docking the Tail to Survive

The future of facebook... will be infinitely bright.

Even in terms of market capitalization, the entire New Global Group is no match for Facebook.

However, if Tang En wants to get the most benefit from the Facebook project, the best way is to invest through New Global Group instead of personal investment.

Entrepreneurship has great risks. Out of a hundred, ninety-nine will fail, especially in the Internet industry.

Even if Tang En puts out enough funds to cooperate with Mark Zuckerberg, it is impossible to control all the shares of Facebook, and he must take part of the dry shares as the price of taking risks to start a business.

However, it is different in the name of New Global Group.

To create a website in the name of New Global Group, for Mark Zuckerberg, there is no entrepreneurial risk. Not to mention the high salary, he can also get shares in New Global Group.

The risk of the website is too great, but how can there be any risk in the stock of New Global Group?

Furthermore, only by linking Facebook to the New Universal Group, can New Universal exert its greatest resource advantage in the entertainment industry and open up the frontier of social networking.

With the portal site being ruled by Yahoo and the search engine being dominated by Google, the development of the Internet seems to be left with only one big sector - social entertainment.

Be it msn or icq, they are all chat tools, but their social attributes are too narrow and too personal.

Tang En's proposal is to build a public-facing social platform similar to the facemas website, and it is an online platform, which is more operable anytime and anywhere.

There are no obstacles to this entrepreneurial proposal.

Tang En received a reply soon-Mark Zuckerberg is willing to cooperate!

However, he does not plan to give up his studies in the short term, and will suspend his studies for a year at most to see the effect.

If the website is reliable, you will drop out of school completely; if it is not reliable, you will return to Harvard to continue your studies.

For the next contact, Tang En didn't have to show up in person.

He held a meeting with the senior officials of the interactive entertainment department to popularize the concept of Facebook, and then let Kevin Turner contact Mark Zuckerberg.

Of course, in order to show the importance he attaches to the Facebook website, Dunn also called Mark Zuckerberg and told him that if there is a disagreement during the creation of the website, he can override the executives of the Interactive Entertainment Department , report directly to him.

In the previous life, the peak market value of entertainment companies was around US$150 billion, such as Disney, Comcast, and Netflix.

In this life, Tang En created the New Universal Group, which also integrated companies such as Netflix and Blizzard.

He was once confident that he could lead the New Global Group to expand its market value to US$300 billion!

Even so, the market value of 300 billion U.S. dollars...compared with those Internet giants, there is still a big gap.

Not even in the top ten in the world.

This is really the tragedy of the entertainment industry.

However, now with facebook is different!

If the two major Internet companies, Facebook and Netflix, can develop as they did in their previous lives...then New Universal Group will not be afraid of any opponents!

Even Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have the capital to compete!

With the appearance of Mark Zuckerberg, Tang En's ambitions suddenly became bigger.

It seems that the position of the boss of the entertainment industry can no longer satisfy him.

He wants to become a god in the media field!

For example, Steve Jobs in the electronics field, Warren Buffett in the investment field, Bill Gates in the pc computer field, Elon Musk in the aerospace field...

With facebook, it is equivalent to having a ladder to the gods!

When Tang En returned to Los Angeles, the events in New York were exposed unexpectedly.

First published by the heavyweight newspaper "The New York Times"!

The article was written by two reporters after in-depth investigation. It told about the poor Italian boy Rafaelo Farieri who came to the United States to defraud him by taking advantage of the business opportunity of the church to sell his property.

He wants to pursue Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway to gain greater popularity, get more attention from rich people, and get more investment.

Unexpectedly, Anne Hathaway was a good friend of Dunn Walker. After Tang En found out about this matter, he immediately noticed something strange about it.

After some investigation, it was found that Rafaelo Farieri's words were full of lies. Then call the police decisively.

A well-planned commercial fraud involving real estate, finance, churches, celebrities, rich people, and politicians. The whole big layout has just begun, and it was revealed by Tang En.

Anne Hathaway also accepted an exclusive interview with The New York Times: "To be honest, he gave me a good first impression, sincere, sincere, sunny, and handsome. But... I always feel that something is wrong, he always He keeps showing off how rich he is in front of me, with private jets and private yachts. If it is really a relationship, are those material conditions important?"

"I have come into contact with some rich people, including Tang En, who is in the top five of the Forbes rich list. They give people the feeling... they are always so warm and refreshing, and you can always learn a lot from them. thing."

"Especially Tang En, I know there are fans all over the world who are full of admiration for him. However, I still have to say, this is far from enough, really, far from enough! Only those who have really contacted him, That’s how amazing he is.”

"That's right, I told him the question in my heart. You know, Kate... oh, it's Kate Winslet, the Oscar-winning actress. Isn't she married and having children? You must know that. We friends, let's go together Seeing her, I told her about my troubles. As a result, many people, including Tang En and Leonardo, felt that the problem was serious."

"The next thing you will know is that Tang En investigated the details of Rafelo Farieri through his relationship, and it turned out...he is indeed a liar! Taking this opportunity, I also want to warn all my colleagues that in terms of material and In the face of wealth, if you can keep yourself clean, don't take pleasure in things, don't take pity on yourself, you can have your own brilliance."

Tang En laughed dumbfounded after reading the report.

This Anne Hathaway is really eloquent.

If he hadn't intervened in this matter, Anne Hathaway would have been eaten to the bone!

Fortunately, now Anne Hathaway and Natalie Martinez have been arranged by Tang En to stay in Villa King's Landing No. 2, with Monica Cruz as companions.

As long as there is time... Tang En will come over and enlighten them.

Women, if you blindly only recognize money, you will fall into the abyss sooner or later.

At this time, Kevin Turner hurried to Tang En's office.

"What's the matter? That kid Mark is disobedient?"

Tang En was very surprised.

At the level of Kevin Turner, ordinary little things would never make him so frizzy.

What I can think of... is the website that Dunn will focus on creating next-Facebook.

Kevin Turner shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with Mark, that kid... don't look young, but he is really good. I chatted with him a few times, and he is very thoughtful! We also bought the domain name of facebook for 2 million US dollars. The price has been bought."

"Then you are?"

"It's Netflix!"

"Netflix?" Tang En was slightly taken aback, a little puzzled.

Since New Global acquired the imdb website from Amazon and then integrated it into Netflix's system, Netflix's development has become more and more rapid.

At the beginning of the year, the number of Netflix members was only 2 million, but now in October... the number of Netflix subscribers has reached 5.26 million!

It was definitely a huge success!

Netflix's current subscription fee is $20 per month. (actually $19.98, which is the monthly price for DVD rentals)

Not counting advertising revenue, with such a huge number of subscriptions, Netflix’s annual subscription revenue can reach 1.26 billion US dollars!

In front of Netflix, are there any enemies?

Kevin Turner said: "It's Blockbuster!"

"Bestcard?" Tang En's face showed a bit of mockery, "What? Could it be that it was spun off by Viacom Group and got a new life?"

Kevin Turner shook his head and said: "Because of the separation from Viacom, the pressure on Blockbuster's survival suddenly increased, so I had to make some desperate moves to risk my life. Blockbuster's stock price continued to Falling, everyone understands that Blockbuster is overtaken by Netflix... it's just a matter of time."

"Dog jumping over the wall in a hurry?" Tang En's face showed a bit of seriousness. "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Blockbuster is still the world's largest video tape and DVD rental company. We can't be careless."

"I know, so I'm here to ask you what you mean. We have already received news that Blockbuster...is going to start a monthly membership subscription system."

"What?"

Tang En opened his eyes wide.

Blockbuster also played a monthly subscription system?

This move is indeed ruthless!

In the past, 30% of Blockbuster’s revenue came from late fee income, that is, fines for returning discs after the due date.

If the membership monthly subscription system is adopted, it is equivalent to giving up the late fee income.

This is a bold and ruthless decision!

Now Blockbuster, the rental business of video tapes and DVDs has reached saturation, and there is no room for growth.

With the rise of Netflix, the late fee policy is being severely criticized across the United States. If Blockbuster does not make changes, its performance will only continue to decline.

Then it was overtaken by a rising star.

After losing the asylum of Viacom, I really didn't expect that Blockbuster came up with a trick to survive!

Give up the late payment fee and change to the monthly subscription system!

It is estimated that I also saw the huge temptation of Netflix's more than 5 million members.

Moreover, the number of users continues to increase.

The prospects are so bright!

As long as the monthly subscription system can be developed, it will be a new lifeline for Blockbuster.

One ebbs and another.

If the opponent becomes stronger, Netflix's strength will be weakened.

Under Tang En's firm promotion, the New Universal Group has poured a lot of effort into the future of Netflix, and even gambled heavily on the future Internet speed and streaming media business. Streaming Copyright.

If at this time, Netflix is ​​facing a strong impact from Blockbuster, I am afraid it will not be so wonderful.

Kevin Turner looked solemn, and said, "Boss, there is even worse news."
