Reborn American Tycoon

　"Ahem, if there is nothing else, let's leave it at that for now. Mr. Miskevich, let me make sure that you have not suffered any harm?"

　"Yes, except for the one that happened in the restaurant, I wasn't harmed in any way."

　The two FBI agents shrugged helplessly. There were two black eyes on this guy's face, and he looked very fresh.

　If you don't tell the truth, it's fine.There are so many cases now, and the sufferer doesn't care, so why should they bother.If it doesn't work, just deal with it as a supernatural event.

　David Miskevich doesn't want to be troublesome at all right now.If one is not good, he might be knocked out again.

　Besides, the appearance of the two policemen was obviously a bit perfunctory.He could fully imagine that when these two guys went out, they might laugh wildly.

　Do you expect justice to be delivered?

　Don't be silly, there was no justice when you lied to those guys.In order to obtain the so-called purification, some people are poor and some people go bankrupt, but there has never been any justice.

　"Why is this thing so short? It seems to be very short. Tsk tsk, it looks like it might be the same as Brother Cruise. It's a pity, I also said, next time this thing is dishonest, I will cut it off."

　"Young master, probably not. He who knows the current affairs is a brilliant man, and he shouldn't be so stupid to be in charge of such a big mess."

　"Don't underestimate him, remember Xiaohu, as long as it has something to do with religious beliefs, it will always be very troublesome. To be honest, this is still a person who knows how to measure, and he is not very fanatical.

　If not, what trouble do you think I will leave behind? "

　Xiaohu's doubts were finally resolved.Although it's fun to toss this thing, he doesn't agree with it.The cat plays with the mouse, and the last program is to eat it.

　When William White said this, he understood.If a more fanatical one comes, they may be in more trouble.The most speechless thing is that this Scientology is legal in the United States.

　It is banned in most parts of the world, but here in the United States there is no taboo.Although the lawsuits continued, this group of guys continued to grow like a snowball.

　William White discovered that the best way to earn a living in the United States is to cheat.As long as your deception is strong enough, no one can do anything against you.

　Oh, what a pity, those guys from the White Lotus Sect were born too early.If they develop in the United States, they may have a bright future.

　Old America is flooded with guns, can't you just promote invulnerability?

　"Xiaohu, you still can't relax your vigilance. These guys are rich and powerful, and they are not so easy to deal with. I heard that they also have their own security and intelligence agencies."

　"Yes, these guys are not simple. I don't understand. Didn't they talk about science? How did they combine science and superstition? This guy is definitely a talent."

　"Hehe, he's already dead. The one we're tossing about is only the second ancestor. If it's that old guy, I'll definitely throw him to Somalia."

Chapter 859 MPEG is completely disintegrated

　William White has a big head, and as his status increases, the world in his eyes begins to become clear.What troubled him so much was that the more things he saw, the less secure he felt.

　More and more facts prove that many chaos in this world are not as simple as they appear.

　What?It's all about the CIA.

　Ahem, these are just the surface.Some things may be what they did on purpose.Some but not necessarily.

　These institutions in Peanutton are full of loopholes.An inconspicuous Scientology has buried many nails, so don't talk about those consortiums and aristocratic families.

　William White will not try to change anything, as long as you don't provoke him.This so-called pollution hunting operation is at best a deterrent.

　So what, don't do this with me, is the game unreasonable?Dude never made sense.

　"Father, I rejected them."

　"You bastard, this kind of thing made you spread the word? Those lunatics have purified themselves into fools, right?" Old Bush looked displeased. It is true that William White and his son have a good relationship, but they can't say anything. of.

　Like this time, is that something that can be admitted?Don't talk about friends, even my own father may not be suitable.

　"Hahaha, this guy really has a bad taste. I heard that that guy was repaired miserably."

　"Well, so you only look at the surface when you look at the problem. The message conveyed by William White is control. To be honest, it really scared me."

　Little Bush shrugged, quite disapprovingly.There are too many people who can do this. William White's strength lies in his control of details.

　You don't even think about it, this guy is both a writer and a director, of course he knows how to play cat and mouse.

　"What are you still messing with? Why did you dismantle the video recorder?"

　"Dad, you don't know, the current DVD is much better than the VCR."

　"Tsk tsk, did William White come up with this again?"

　"No, it's from Panasonic, and it uses his patented format. This guy doesn't know what he's doing. After paying such a high price, it's actually free."

　Old Bushu smiled wryly, his son is not bad in other things.When it comes to making money, you and William White are not on the same level at all.

　A group of footbath manufacturers headed by Matsushita started producing DVDs.This sudden change immediately blew up MPEG.

　You know, if it wasn't dragged down by those lawsuits, their video format might have been released a long time ago.

　Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. Their so-called MPEG2 is basically equivalent to DVD1.

　So here comes the problem, you don't have a content provider.Even Fox and Paramount, which had a bad relationship with William White, explicitly refused to join the MPEG alliance.Any act of changing the format without authorization is a kind of infringement.

　No vendor support, no content provider support.Don't say that your stuff is not as good as DVD, even if the level is close or you are better, it will be a situation where no one cares about it.

　"Boss, shipments of chipsets are very good. Gosh, is there really such a big demand in Rabbit Country?"

　William White curled his lips, you let them all try to use the genuine ones, and if you don’t pay for it, you’ll be fine.Dude is now selling the genuine version as a pirated version, how hard it is, you don’t know it.

　"Filson, those sales are nothing, in fact, the profits on those DVDs will be good.

　how?Do not believe?My [-] cents royalties were lowered? "

　Filson smiled wryly, there is a low charge, what is the difference between this and no charge?However, if you play like this, those pirates will die.

　No matter how super error-correcting you are, it’s useless, the original version is the original version, and it can’t be the same level as the one filled by a regular factory.

　Capital is profit-seeking, without high profits, no one has the patience to engage in piracy.It's right not to pay royalties, don't you need to manage it?

　If you are not caught, you are not caught, illegal or illegal, this will not change.Or wait until you get fatter, just drag it out and kill it.

　"Boss, the profit is indeed a little low. But it's better than nothing."

　William White shook his glass, which usually means he's in a good mood.

　He likes to drink red wine, but he doesn't stick his nose into the glass to smell it.There is no need for this, as long as the person serving him drinking has this skill.

　"Filson, for a 007-level blockbuster, 1000 million is just a jumping-off number. How many blockbusters are there in our library? Twenty isn't too much, right?

　If you add Southeast Asia and foot basins, my God, is it difficult to make 5000 million a year? 5000 million deposit profit, I will calculate [-] times PE, one billion dollars, tell me, is this not a big business? "

　"Ahem, cough, there will be so many?" Filson was taken aback. If North America and Europe were added, it would be too lucrative.

　"Hey, I'll cry if I say too much. Do you know that the VCDs cost [-] yuan a piece, and the number they sold is far more than the number I just told you."

　Filson stopped talking. He really couldn't figure out how many VCDs they had sold in the few years since it came out.

　"So, if you do business in China, it's nonsense if you don't have a lot of money. If you earn five dollars for a TV, they don't all have a good time playing it.

　If you use this thing to measure, my [-] cents per DVD is not less, but more.Who would buy TVs and DVDs all day long? It would be nice to have two at home. Unlike DVD, so-called blockbusters, Oscar-winning films, these will be sought after. "

　"I know the boss. It seems that we need to lay out sales channels. By the way, there will be a market for Disney's cartoons."

　"Of course, you can still learn English. Don't laugh, there are not many people here who learn Chinese. English has been popularized in Rabbit Country since elementary school. I boldly predict that Chinese dubbing may be needed now, or ten years later. In a few years, there will be more people who like the original version.”

　For the United States, it is incredible that so many people learn foreign languages.If you need or like it, of course it doesn't matter. Popularization is indeed very debatable.

　When you learn the language of a country, you must first have a sense of identity.On the one hand, it is the eighth grade of English, and on the other hand, it shouts to defeat the US emperor.Ha ha, this is actually quite ridiculous.Unless you are Gu Hongming, you only learned it to scold foreign devils.

　Don't worry, you can use any language of any country to scold you until you doubt your life.

　Now that DVD has appeared, there is no need for MPEG to appear.William White's idea is that it is best to set up a DVD alliance, and everyone has a membership system.When there is nothing to do, one person has one vote. If it affects his interests, then one vote will veto it.

　It seems very unreasonable, but it is the same for everyone in this position.If this right is not reserved, then it is not the Virgin Mary, it is called mental retardation.

　"Andy, this thing doesn't look special, and it can't record TV programs. Will anyone pay for it?"

　"Boss, our place is okay, and the foot basin is average. It can't compare with the sales of video recorders, and the gap is not small."

　"Well, you go on."

　"There is an explosive growth in Rabbit Country and Southeast Asia. According to Motorola's chip shipments, there will be at least 1000 million units in the next year."

　"So much? Isn't it a deliberate bluff?"

　"No, the authorization of this chipset has already been given to Baodao. From this point of view, there is still room for the price to drop significantly."

　The boss of Morgan Stanley was dizzy, and he found a problem. Whatever industry William White was engaged in, the price of any industry would go down.It is really puzzling not to use the first-mover advantage to make more money.

Chapter 860 Internet Economy

　The chipset for DVD was licensed to Baodao for production. Although Motorola's board of directors had opinions, they never dared to mention them again.It has become a tacit understanding that William White's opinions must be respected.

　Meeting an extremely arrogant partner, a group of old guys will either have a headache or a pain in the ass.For those with seeds, you can kick him out.

　Looking at the current legendary mobile phones, they are almost on the same level as Motorola.The most embarrassing thing is that due to insufficient production capacity, they also plan to set up a factory in Rabbit Country.

　If I had known it was the current situation, I was afraid that there was nothing else to object to what he did, except to prove that I was short-sighted.

　In the past, I occasionally participated in the board of directors.It's better now, either Filson or Fat Tom the Cat.William White hadn't been in Chicago for a long time.

　Since you are short-sighted, then simply shut up.If there is another problem with semiconductors, those shareholders will definitely vote with their feet.

　Tom was very strange. Looking at this slightly cramped company, he couldn't understand why the boss wanted him to come in person.

　"Mr. Hannas, hello, I'm Jeff Bezos, you can call me Jeff."

　"Call me Tom, or Fat Cat."

　"Well, I'll call you Tom."

　"Jeff, your fund company is not doing well. What made you join the Internet?"

　Tom's words are very direct, and there is no meaning of roundaboutness at all.Although it is not polite, it seems sincere.Yes, the more polite you are, the more useless it is to talk about cooperation between Laos and the United States.

　"You know, Internet users, growing 2000% a year, that's terrible. As for Wall Street, it's no fun working for those guys. It's too difficult to run a fund company by yourself."

　"Well, tell me about the idea of ​​your company. We all know that Barnes & Noble is the only one, and most of our boss's books are sold by them."

　"The Internet model naturally has many conveniences. Since there are no stores and shop assistants, our pursuit of gross profit margins is very low."

　"Wait, I believe that the gross profit margin is low, but the transportation cost is also not low. Could it be that you plan to use the postal service?"

　Click, Jeff Bezos' heart is broken, this is the most troublesome place for him.For postal parcels, the speed is very slow.As for FedEx, that's a no-brainer.

　It is true that these books are not afraid of falling, as long as you don't throw them like basketballs, customers will definitely get relatively complete books.

　"It's true, Tom, that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out. That's why I want to raise money. You know, it's more cost-effective to develop for a while before a Series A.

　I have invested 30, plus some loans, almost 50.I don't need angel wheels. "

　"Of course, I think, you probably know who I am."

　"Of course, now, can you tell me your real purpose?"

　Fat Tom shrugged, rather disapprovingly.He took a DVD out of his carry-on bag and handed it to Jeff Bezos.

　"How? Any ideas?"

　"Damn, why didn't I think of it. If it's just books, it would be a bit monotonous. If it's books and audio-visuals."

　"Vinyl probably won't work, CDs and DVDs are less of an issue, you know, they never load and unload properly. We've also designed some nice packaging to protect those items."

　"why?"

　"Hehe, not all businesses have to be done by ourselves. We bring some interesting projects to the boss, and then..."

　"I need to think about it."

　"Of course, but it's better to go faster, you said, a growth rate of 2000% per year. Actually, your number is wrong. The actual data is higher than it."

　Jeff Bezos has no doubts about Tom's statement.There are so many venture capital companies on the Internet, none of which can be compared with the White Fund.

　After Fat Tom left, Jeff Bezos got into trouble.With his dollars, it would be too much to run a bookstore. If audio-visual products are added, the money is obviously not enough to burn.

　Slowly figure it out?

　Does not exist, looking at the current ICQ, it is simply burning money.As long as it is an Internet user, almost everyone uses it.

　In the early days of the Internet, everyone copied me and copied you, and there was no such thing as morality.

　The concept of instant messaging has attracted many people's attention.Unfortunately, a behemoth is scary enough, and if it's still free, then there's nothing to say.

　The computer room and servers are a huge expense.Some people may try to invest tens of millions. When this number is calculated in billions, those latecomers are desperate.

　Besides, there are so many things that can be done, why bother to find such a powerful opponent.If you really need to use hundreds of millions, when you wait for the IPO, the shares in the hands of the founders will not exceed 5%.

　Isn’t that how Yahoo is now? Although burning money is very enjoyable, the stocks in your hands will continue to decrease.

　Jeff Bezos came from Wall Street. Although he looks very young, he is a full-fledged old bird.He vaguely sensed that William White's purpose was to sell his DVDs.

　Of course, it doesn't matter.The sales of audio-visual products and CDs in the United States are very average, and the main sales are tapes.As for movies, most are rentals.
