Chapter 778 [8.2 billion US dollars](2/2)

"I won't tell you!" Sophie said mischievously.

No need to guess, Monica also came to the hotel.

Lin Zuhui took Sophie's black silk thighs into his hands and slowly admired them, and this woman's lace clothes even revealed a 'black widow'-like temptation.

"I'm not tied up yet!" Sophie said eagerly.

"NONO, I want to tie you up today!" Lin Zuhui's eyes glowed green with excitement.

........

The next day, Lin Zuhui and Bill Gates had a detailed discussion and reached a preliminary agreement on the ICQ transaction.

This deal still needs to be reached by the ICQ board of directors, but it is already a certainty because the media group holds 72% of ICQ's shares.

Lin Zuhui will gradually reduce his overt personal investment in the United States and gradually switch to covert investment.

Hold shares of promising U.S. companies through various models such as decentralization, offshore, and trust;

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, the biggest secret agents are of course the foreign women and children.

...

In late October, the US media reported that "Microsoft will acquire the world's largest social software ICQ for US$8.2 billion." The news suddenly spread and caused a sensation in the world.

Of course, the American media also pointed out that half of the funds for this transaction will be paid in stock. After all, even Microsoft, with tens of billions of dollars in cash flow, cannot acquire ICQ with all cash.

Why is ICQ so valuable? People have discussed this question one after another.

In fact, it is easy to draw the conclusion: ICQ is the world's largest social software, especially the birth of the ICQ blog, which has made this company's social status as stable as a mountain; Americans' work and life are inseparable from ICQ, and voice services are even more important.

It is expected to break the monopoly of traditional telecommunications, as well as games...

In short, Microsoft's victory over ICQ has solidified its position as the Internet leader in one fell swoop, affecting all aspects of Internet users around the world.

As the news spread, Xiangjiang became the focus of the world, the media in Xiangjiang went into a carnival, and the citizens of Xiangjiang were proud of it.

The small city of Xiangjiang actually created a miracle in the history of the Internet.

Inspiring.

At the same time, the media group's stock surged by 15% in an instant, and its market value reached approximately HK$300 billion, making it a world-class technology giant.

Lin Zuhui’s net worth is close to 100 billion U.S. dollars, shocking the world!

.......

Media Building.

Lin Zuhui organized a meeting with senior executives of the media group's software department.

Software/games is one of the four major businesses of the media group, and it is also the business with the largest proportion of assets. It originally owned two major listed companies - ICQ, Sina.com, and also owned The9 City, 'Sitong Smart Payment', software

Outsourcing, software agency... and a series of Internet businesses.

The media group gained nearly US$6 billion from the sale of ICQ.

Sina's market value at this time was not low, as high as HK$60 billion.

"This sale of ICQ is not because I want to reduce Internet assets. On the contrary, we want to increase investment in the Internet. Next, I will talk about a few points for everyone to discuss together."

"First point, where is the growth point of Sina? At present, Sina's market value is as high as 60 billion, which is due to the surge in wireless growth business, combined with traditional media (outdoor advertising, publishing houses), new romantic paintings, Sina video and other businesses

, favored by investors.”

"However, the barbaric growth of wireless value-added services will inevitably lead to rectification by the mainland government. You must be mentally prepared."

Everyone looked at each other and lamented the boss's precautions. They even felt that Lin Zuhui must have gotten some information from the mainland executives.

In fact, Lin Zuhui just looked at this issue from the perspective of a person from the future.

At present, Sina is the first of the four major portals in China, but he understands that portals will decline; moreover, Sina is also subject to some restrictions in the mainland.

The president of New Romantic Painting said: "This year New Romantic Painting started a VIP system, and the growth of paying players is good... There is still a way to go to reach the scale that the boss talked about, mainly because the online payment system is not yet mature.

.”

New Romance is the 'online comic industry'. There is no VIP fee in the early stage. The cartoonists who create the comics rely on Taiwan, Hong Kong and other publishing houses to purchase copyrights to obtain income; of course, not all works can be published, and those who cannot be published can only rely on

Creative passion, and some subsidies from the new romantic painting website.

This model is similar to that of Diandian.com. It was not a VIP system at the beginning. The main revenue came from Taiwan Publishing House. Because Taiwanese people think that mainland works are cheap, they are also willing to buy and publish Yidiandian's works.

Of course, the difference is that in the early days of New Romance, cartoonists could still get stable income with the support of large groups, so Sina also invested quite a lot in the early stage.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "The development of New Romantic Painting is still remarkable. With more and more Internet payment methods, there will be more and more VIP users; as long as you set your sights on the world, then we can grow to

That height.”

At present, the main Internet payment is online banking and even remittance, so the experience is really not good. But as Lin Zuhui said, the VIP system must be continued, which is related to the author's creative enthusiasm.

Next.

The president of Sina Video said: "Currently, Sina Video can only develop DVD rental and other businesses in Hong Kong, and piracy is rampant both overseas and in Hong Kong."

Everyone looked at Lin Zuhui. The establishment of Sina Video was the boss's idea, but they all felt that Xiangjiang was not the United States and that this business was a loss-making business.

Lin Zuhui said: "Sina Video is very important, extremely important. This is a more important industry than TV stations in the future. When the Internet speed reaches a certain level, Sina Video will be transformed into an online video website, equivalent to a TV station, and this

TV stations can develop overseas. Hong Kong streaming is Sina Video’s biggest competitiveness overseas, because it will have a large customer base in Asia, even Europe and the United States, so many netizens will use Sina Video.”

Everyone became excited, this was cultural export!

Lin Zuhui continued: "Now, Sina Video has two stages of tasks. The first stage is to find a way to hold a competition, invite global computing teams to compete, and design the best intelligent recommendation algorithm for us. The prize will be set at 1 million a year.

U.S. dollars.”

Sina Video is the Asian version of Netflix, and it has operations in many regions. It can only be said that it has little influence overseas.

Everyone looked at Lin Zuhui suspiciously, what kind of trick is this? Sina Video only has some business in Hong Kong, and it can't make more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars a year.

"We only need to invest US$1 million per year to obtain the best intelligent recommendation algorithm and make technological progress; at the same time, we can also increase our visibility overseas, especially business development in places like Taiwan and Singapore."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone suddenly realized that although 1 million US dollars is a lot for Sina Video, it is a small number for Sina.com. At present, Sina’s annual profit has been

It is as high as about 800 million Hong Kong dollars, which is very impressive.

Then, Lin Zuhui said: "In this way, in almost three years, I believe the network speed will have improved rapidly. By then we will enter the online video field, launch a monthly charging system, and spend huge bonuses to upgrade network technology. This is the second

stage of development. Sina video is the best weapon for Hong Kong to go overseas."

"That's right! Hong Kong Streaming and Sina Video complement each other. Those fans of Hong Kong Streaming will definitely be VIP users of Sina Video."

"It makes sense, Sina Video is worth the initial investment."

In fact, even if some countries are unable to enter, Lin Zuhui still believes that Sina Video is worth investing in. Even if it is only Xiangjiang, we must invest.

Of course, it’s definitely not just Xiangjiang, many countries in Asia are still easily accessible.

Next.

Lin Zuhui continued: "Sina is planning to build another department - cloud computing. The so-called 'cloud computing' means: decomposing huge data computing processing programs into countless small programs through the network "cloud", and then, through multiple servers,

The system processes and analyzes these small programs to obtain results and returns them to the user... This is a new revolution in the computer field. If Xiangjiang can take the lead in investing in research and development, it may be able to take the lead."

The primary concept of cloud computing has been around for a long time, but when Lin Zuhui proposed it, it is obviously the ultimate concept.

Everyone was fascinated by it, and then very excited.

At this time, there is no shortage of software talents in Xiangjiang, and developing cloud computing is not that difficult.

What's more, Sina also has a research and development center in the mainland.

And Lin Zuhui also plans to suggest that Penguin and Alibaba enter into research and development in this area in the past two years, and will inevitably compete with the United States in this aspect.
