Chapter 611 The purpose of youtube

After "Microsoft" acquired "Aquantive" from Lin Feng, Lin Feng had US$5.15 billion in cash, and also successfully financed "Google" and obtained 5% of "Google's" shares.

Many financial experts and analysts are confused and envious of this series of transactions.

What puzzles these experts is why Lam Feng invested US$500 million but only got 5% of the shares of "Google". Although "Google" was favored by the financial community and remained strong despite the bursting of the Internet bubble, Lam Feng's

The financing price is still too high. Compared with other investment banks' financing that is almost half price, this move is really stupid.

Regarding Lin Feng's behavior, many financial analysts in the United States wanted to criticize Lin Feng and ridicule Lin Feng's stupid investment behavior, but before they could prepare their words to scorn, slander, and ridicule Lin Feng, in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng

At US$55 per share, a price 250% higher than the market price, Lin Feng made a full profit by selling "aquantive" acquired for US$180 million a year ago to "Microsoft" for a total price of US$2.85 billion.

1558% profit.

This is faster than robbing banks to make money, or even faster than printing money.

Looking at the data in their hands, many financial analysis experts were speechless. This "chineseboy" was really good at making money, and they admired Abby Cohen's vision even more. Of course, they were secretly glad that they and others were prepared to make sarcastic remarks about Lin Feng.

It didn't appear on paper, otherwise they would be embarrassed if it were published in the newspapers and they were mocking Lin Feng's stupid acquisition behavior, while on the other hand "Microsoft" purchased Lin Feng's "aquantive" at a high price.

As for who is the idiot, I'm afraid all readers can see it.

Of course, compared to these experts who almost made a mistake and were hated for eternity, the one who is really distressed is Motorola of Sony Records. In this unified "banning operation" of global record companies, the most diligent and anxious one is undoubtedly

Sony Records. Michael Jackson’s 50% copyright is a piece of cake that all record companies are coveted. Sony Records must be able to get it. Even if Sony Records cannot get it, other record companies must not get it.

But under repeated pressure, Avril Records has stood still and is frighteningly calm. Especially Lin Feng, who originally supported Avril Records, recently raised funds for "Google" and sold "Aquantive" to make a big splash in the IT world.

Fists and kicks have unlimited glory, but they have not done anything to help Avril Records solve its current predicament.

This was too unusual, but Motorola could not find any trace of Lin Feng's actions. However, as the president of the world's largest record company, Motorola could vaguely feel the danger of a storm coming. Unfortunately,

This is just a feeling. As the president of Sony Records, he cannot use his feelings to lead the operation of the entire company and direct everyone based on his "feelings".

In this way, others will be dissatisfied, and he himself will feel ridiculous. Therefore, Motola can only focus all his attention on Lin Feng and Avril Records, paying attention to Lin Feng's every move.

"Lin, what should we do now?" Avril pinched the tender flesh of Lin Feng's waist and leaned into Lin Feng's arms and asked.

"Don't worry, it will be solved soon." Lin Feng gave Avril a slight peck on the face and said confidently.

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

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

The next step is to join Avril Records and launch a new record, as well as a series of business plans. But if Lin Feng cannot solve the blockade of global record companies, Michael Jackson will not easily release new records and develop related businesses.

Plan, that would definitely be a head-on confrontation, and it would be Avril who would be harmed in the end.

To quit, he would leave Avril Records and join any record company. This "global ban" would naturally disappear. However, Lin Feng gave him hope again, and Michael Jackson did not want to jump into another fire pit again. Crows all over the world

General Hei, the record company that dares to accept him at this time will definitely not do it for his fame, but for the 50% Sony record copyright he holds. This is naturally unacceptable to Michael Jackson.

In this dilemma, Michael Jackson was naturally extremely embarrassed and in a dilemma.

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

"Boss, congratulations, you have completed another big project." Liu Yingying congratulated her heartily. 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

How dare you challenge record companies around the world.

"Hi, Yingying, we haven't seen you for a few months, she looks even more beautiful." Lin Feng tutted and praised her.

The Liu Yingying in front of me not only has an increasingly outstanding temperament, but also has a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that 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 moves her hands and feet,

Show the style of a successful lady.

"Haha, boss, your sweet words are even more pleasing to the ears!" Liu Yingying stroked her long hair, smiled faintly, and glanced at Taiwan's number one model behind Lin Feng, who was also Lin Feng's secret astronomy." There is actually such a thing

A female CEO with a transcendent and extraordinary temperament. And relying on a woman's intuition, Lin Chiling had a vague feeling that there was something unusual about Liu Yingying towards Lin Feng.

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

"Boss, Dingdang.com currently has US$200 million in liquidity and is engaged in b2c business. The industries involved include electronic products (large home appliances, small home appliances, mobile phones, etc.), clothing, etc., and its 'Infinite Express' has also spread across the country.

Except for the vast majority of cities, towns and villages in Xinjiang, Tibet and other remote areas." Liu Yingying said confidently.

After two years of development, especially after Wang Juntao, the former "father of e-commerce" in China, joined, the business of "Dingdang.com" is booming. In addition, it strictly controls the source of goods, eliminates counterfeit goods, and provides thoughtful after-sales service, plus "Dingdang.com"

In cooperation with the 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 expand into Hong Kong and Macau, opened a traditional Chinese website, and cooperated with HSBC Bank in Hong Kong. Internet users in Hong Kong and Macau can directly purchase what they want on "Dingdang.com" through bank accounts such as HSBC Bank.

something.

According to the plan jointly formulated by Liu Yingying and Wang Juntao, they planned 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 open a "Dingdong.com"

"Dingdang.com" branch, which disrupted the plans of Liu Yingying and others.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to shift your focus to the U.S. market right now. You should still focus on the domestic market. In the U.S., we will only sell Avril Records products and some cheap electronic products for the time being." Lin Feng explained with a smile.

You have to eat your meal one bite at a time, and you cannot become fat after one bite. If you want to completely open up the U.S. market and continuously sell cheap Chinese products to the U.S., that is not what "Dingdang.com" and Lin Feng can do at present. Now, Lin Feng

Feng just took this opportunity to fight against the global record company's "blocking of Avril Records" to allow "Dingdong.com" to lay a solid foundation in the United States.

After receiving Lin Feng's affirmation, Liu Yingying also breathed a sigh of relief. If "Dingdang.com" were to aggressively attack the US market now, it would be a bit of a loss. Later, when Liu Yingying established the US branch of "Dingdang.com", Lin

When Feng was planning to start an online radio station, he suddenly slapped his forehead and wondered why he had forgotten this website - YouTube.

YouTube - the largest video sharing website in the United States, was founded in 2005 and was later acquired by Google for US$1.65 billion. This is definitely a hot spot, compared to Tomato founded by Lin Feng's company "Second World"

There is a biggest difference between "net" and "youtube".

Affected by domestic policies, "Tomato.com" can only provide official videos, and netizens cannot upload videos. On "YouTube", any netizen can upload videos with a capacity of no more than 100m and a length of no more than 10 minutes. It is completely open.

The architecture has also made "YouTube" the most influential video website in the world. Thousands of videos are spread to "YouTube" every day, but "YouTube" itself does not spend a penny at all and only needs to provide network bandwidth and hard disks.

Just enough space.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng had another idea in his mind, an idea to combat the "global ban" initiated by Sony Records. However, the prerequisite was to establish "YouTube" first. Fortunately, currently, there is no such thing in the United States.

People compete with Lin Feng. Moreover, setting up "YouTube" now has the advantage of diverting the attention of Sony Records President Motorola.

Otherwise, he would have noticed the establishment of the American branch of "Dingdang.com" under Motorola's close attention. Then he would have alerted the enemy.

If you want to establish "youtube", you need three people, the three founders of "youtube". Lin Feng also luckily remembers their names - Chad-Hurley, Steve-chen, and Judd

-Jawed-Karim, I can remember their names because the three names are quite distinctive.

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 Internet users.

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

After Lin Feng logged into "Google", he only needed to enter the names of three people, and almost all the people in the United States with matching names appeared. After further screening, Lin Feng easily learned the whereabouts of the three people at this moment.

Chen Shijun and three other people are now working for an Internet service provider called "paypal" (Chinese name: PayPal) in San Jose, California, USA. Lin Feng contacted the three people directly through icq and told them his thoughts

Finally, after the three people heard it, their keen sense of touch told them that this was definitely an opportunity.

Chen Shijun and the other three resigned immediately without hesitation and joined the "youtube" video network just created by Lin Feng. Lin Feng held 85% of the shares, giving each of the three 5% of the shares, and appointed Chad Heli as the CEO. Chen Shijun

as technical CEO, with Judd Karim as advisor.

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

In order to expand the influence of "YouTube" as soon as possible, Lin Feng not only allowed his "fsn-houston" TV station to broadcast advertisements on a rolling basis, but also spent millions of dollars to insert advertisements on major TV stations in the United States, and used his status as "Google"

One of the advantages of the director is that when netizens who log in to "Google" search for videos and other websites, the "youtube" link will pop up first.

With Lin Feng's financial resources and the support of "Google", the "YouTube" video network quickly became popular, and its open setting of allowing free uploading of videos allowed many individuals who shot many precious videos but had no place to publish them.

Opportunity to showcase yourself.

In just one week, the number of daily views on "YouTube" exceeded one million, and the average daily uploaded videos exceeded 8,000 videos per day.

Lin Feng created "YouTube" and Motorola, who was always following Lin Feng, naturally knew everything about it. But he didn't understand what Lin Feng meant by this move. Although this video website can help Avril promote her album,

If you can't sell it online, it's useless no matter how much you promote it.

Just when Motola was puzzled, Lin Feng took action. Lin Feng uploaded a top-secret video of an interview with Avril on the "fsn-houston" TV station music channel. In the video, the host asked Avril why major records in the United States were

The store did not sell her latest single, and Avril confessed that she did not know. Then the host interviewed many record stores and came to the conclusion that record stores across the United States refused to sell Avril's records.

As soon as this video was uploaded, the click-through rate was extremely high. In three days, it reached a staggering more than 6 million times. Those who listened to Avril's latest two singles "Girlfriend" and "You-are-went-away"

Fans can't find Avril Lavigne's latest two single CDs in major record stores. They thought it was a supply problem with Avril's own record company, so most of them are still waiting. Now after watching this video,

I understood immediately.

Led by some die-hard Avril fans, thousands of Avril fans gathered together, wearing clothes with Avril's face on them, holding banners, shouting slogans, and chanting - We want Avril, we want

Avril! - These fans demonstrated at Taoer Records, the largest record chain store in the United States, demanding that Taoer Records sell Avril's records.

Huh, is this your plan? - Motola's heart was completely relieved, 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. This was undoubtedly his own fault.

Dig a grave. If you offend all the record stores, no other record store will sell your records in the future. Even if you are forced to sell them, they will put your records in the most inconspicuous place.

Of course, what made Motola unhappy was that Lin Feng did not ask Avril to attack the record store personally, but instead asked his TV host to "shoot" the record store. This undoubtedly allowed Avril to avoid the limelight.

No need to offend the record store yourself.

If Avril personally criticizes these record stores, then Mottola will have the opportunity to personally destroy this star who dares to steal food from her "bowl". (In Mottola's mind, it is identified as Avril Records and Michael Jackson

They formed a partnership and wanted to seize 50% of the copyright of Sony Records. Avril Records belongs to Avril, so Motola naturally had resentment towards Avril. Of course, there was also Lin Feng, who Motola wanted to get rid of the most.
