Chapter 142 Two 500 Billion US Dollars! ! !

Over the next week, the guests left Necker Island one after another.

Yu Jingshan is a workaholic and also left the island with the guests.

The servants, Li Zetian's parents and little Qiqi were left on the island for vacation. Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu went to Europe for their honeymoon.

During this period, the global box office of "Star Wars" exceeded US$700 million. The movie is still in theaters, creating a global sensation and shocking the industry!

The whirlwind that "Star Wars" created was beyond anyone's imagination.

The name of Star Wars Film Company also came to prominence, and Li Zetian, the founder behind the company, once again became the focus of media coverage. Many newspapers even devoted a whole page to reporting on him.

More than a month later, Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu returned to the United States from Europe.

Back at the Beverly Hills villa, Dongfang Yuqin immediately reported the recent work to Li Zetian.

"Mr. Li, after two months of hard work, Netflix has licensed more than 400 excellent works, spending a total of US$20 million. Some film companies have chosen a 10% sales sharing model. In addition, Netflix has 30 rental stores have been established across the United States, and it is expected to expand rapidly at the rate of opening 10 new rental stores every month!"

"Have you discussed technology licensing with JVC?" Li Zetian asked.

"We talked and the other party expressed their willingness to license for free and help us build a VHS format video tape production factory. But the premise is that Netflix needs to help JVC sell VHS recorders. But for every VHS recorder sold, we can also get 20% income."

"Well, that's not bad! It seems that JVC is quite bold in promoting the VHS format!" Li Zetian took a sip of coffee, nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Has Sony ever approached you? It’s impossible that Sony doesn’t know about such a big move like Netflix buying movie licenses everywhere…”

Dongfang Yuqin smiled and replied, "Yes, Sony approached us and even proposed more favorable terms than JVC. However, according to your instructions, we did not cooperate with Sony, but instead used Sony By raising our value, we got better terms when negotiating with JVC!"

"Haha, the more intense the competition between them, the better it is for us!"

Li Zetian said with a smile, "After the release of "Star Wars" is over, Netflix can open. Well... the preliminary preparations must be in place, including the production of VHS format video tapes and employee training, etc. In addition, it needs to be strengthened To cooperate with film companies and strive to obtain the distribution rights of future films, it is best to reach a long-term priority agreement with them to ensure that Netflix has sufficient film sources."

"Yeah!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded and responded.

Li Zetian picked up the cup at this time and took another sip of coffee. He thought that Dongfang Yuqin had done a good job in the creation of Netflix and had outstanding abilities. She should be able to serve as the CEO of "Times Technology Holdings"...

Li Zetian thought for a moment and said to her, "Does Netflix have a suitable candidate to serve as CEO?"

When Dongfang Yuqin heard this, she showed a disappointed and sad expression on her face. She originally thought that Li Zetian would let her take the position of CEO of Netflix, but now, Li Zetian asked her and it was obvious that he planned to let someone else take the position.

"Mr. Li, I think Cyric Adolf can serve."

"Tell me about him."

Dongfang Yuqin nodded, and then began to introduce: "Cyric Adolf, 32 years old, German-American, graduated from Stanford University, previously worked at Paramount Pictures. Because his grandfather was a man who had helped Jews As a result, many Jews have a good impression of him. As far as I know, many senior executives in Hollywood are Jewish, so I think it is very suitable for him to serve as the CEO of Netflix."

"Well, judging from this person's resume, he is indeed very suitable to be the CEO of Netflix." Li Zetian nodded, paused, and looked into Dongfang Yuqin's eyes, "Are you feeling very disappointed because I didn't let him Are you the CEO?"

"I, I don't feel lost!" Dongfang Yuqin said stubbornly, but she felt aggrieved in her heart because she had put a lot of effort into Netflix, and because she felt that Li Zetian did not value her and did not recognize her abilities, and later Those who occupy the majority of the components.

Dongfang Yuqin obviously did not hide her emotions well in front of Li Zetian, and all the grievances in her heart were written on her face.

Li Zetian shook his head and couldn't help but feel funny. He said he was not wronged, but in his heart he was very wronged.

Li Zetian stopped teasing her and took out a document from the drawer and handed it to her.

"Let's see," he said.

"Um."

Dongfang Yuqin opened the document and read it. The name of the document was "Times Technology Holdings Company". After reading the content, Dongfang Yuqin was shocked. It contained the development strategy of Times Technology Company, which was to acquire Intel microprocessors. Department, join forces with Microsoft and IBM to compete with Apple in the personal computer market, and develop Times Technology into a super group like an umbrella company.

Li Zetian smiled and said, "The reason why I didn't let you be the CEO of Netflix is ​​because there is a better position waiting for you. Yes, I plan to let you be the CEO of Times Technology."

Based on Li Zetian's observations of Dongfang Yuqin these days, in addition to her excellent abilities, she is also a very filial daughter. Li Zetian then sent someone to send her mother to the best hospital in the United States for treatment. Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but be grateful to him, so The degree of loyalty is also acceptable.

"Mr. Li, are you kidding?" Dongfang Yuqin asked uncertainly.

"What, do I look like the kind of person who loves to joke?"

"No...I'm just very surprised and a little bit unbelievable!"

"Times Technology Company is currently just a shell company. You are fully qualified with your abilities, and as the company grows, your abilities will become stronger and stronger. The reason why I chose you is, first, because you are by my side. As a secretary, I can keep abreast of the development of Times Technology Company. Secondly, I feel that you will not betray me." Li Zetian doesn't know whether you will betray me, but Dongfang Yuqin is indeed the best candidate. She has no feelings for men. If you are interested, you will not be deceived by men, seduced by "honey traps", and devote yourself to work wholeheartedly. At the same time, she knew how to be grateful, and her mother was her only concern, which made Li Zetian trust her very much.

When Dongfang Yuqin heard this, she was deeply moved. She promised: "Mr. Li, please rest assured that I, Dongfang Yuqin, will never betray you unless you don't want me anymore!"

"Ahem,"

Li Zetian coughed twice. What he said was very ambiguous. What do you mean I don't want you anymore.

Dongfang Yuqin soon realized it, her cheeks flushed. It was undeniable that although she didn't like men, she admired and admired Li Zetian's talent very much. And the longer she stayed in contact with him, the more she felt that Li Zetian's talent was a little too much, even incredible!

"Mr. Li, I, I mean..."

"Well, I know, you don't need to explain," Li Zetian interrupted with a smile, "After reading the information, do you have any questions?"

"Mr. Li, I have a question. Why does Times Technology join forces with IBM and Microsoft to deal with Apple?" Dongfang Yuqin asked with a frown.

Li Zetian smiled slightly, his decision certainly made sense. The competitive pressure on personal computers is too great, and many computer giants such as IBM, HP, and Dell have emerged. It is difficult for Apple to monopolize the market. What's more, if Li Zetian doesn't take the initiative to cooperate with IBM, others will naturally cooperate with IBM. Instead of doing this, it’s better to do it yourself!

By cooperating with IBM, Intel microprocessors and Microsoft operating systems can form a market monopoly. In the future, when Microsoft and Intel form the most powerful Wintel alliance in the technology industry and dominate the global PC market, who will IBM be? onion? Even Lenovo acquired its PC division!

Before the Internet bubble burst in 2000, Microsoft's market value reached an astonishing US$586.1 billion, close to US$600 billion, ranking first in the world and unprecedented!

Intel's market value before 2000 also exceeded US$500 billion!

How can an alliance formed by two 500-billion-dollar companies be called "cow"?

However, Li Zetian did not tell Dongfang Yuqin this, and the other party did not believe it.

He only said: "The reason is very simple. With the entry of IBM, the pie in the personal computer market has become bigger. I want to eat both sides!"
