Entertainment: Acquisition Of Marvel At The Beginning, Winning The Widow Sister

Ding Shuo still noticed Will's anomaly.

He frowned slightly, and said, "Why do you have a troubled look on your face? Just speak up if you have something to say!"

With Ding Shuo's words, Will expressed all his inner worries without any scruples.

"Boss, our team did due diligence on Netflix when you proposed your plan to acquire Netflix."

"The results of the survey show that Netflix is ​​the world's largest video disc rental company."

"But it's not a very profitable industry."

"Excluding operating costs and expenses every year, Netflix's net profit is only tens of millions of dollars."

"It is precisely because there is not much room for profit that the shareholders of Netflix so easily agreed to be acquired by us at a price of 130% of their market value."

"According to their annual net profit of 50 million US dollars, we spent 2.5 billion US dollars to acquire it, and it would even take 50 years to recover the cost."

"And the 2.5 billion US dollars, if invested in other fields and industries, the rate of return will obviously be better."

Ding Shuo almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

For him, it is really a big joke to say that the acquisition of Netflix for US$2.5 billion is a deal with a low return on investment.

After all, ten years later, Netflix's highest market value exceeded the $300 billion mark.

For a time, Disney, the ancient overlord of the entertainment industry, was under his feet.

Today in 2006, the acquisition of Netflix for US$2.5 billion is not only a higher return on investment than the acquisition of Marvel for US$4 billion.

Even Ding Shuo spent 30 billion U.S. dollars to let JPMorgan Chase help him acquire the shares of Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Amazon, the four future Internet technology giants, and the rate of return is much higher.

After all, after ten years, Microsoft's market value will only increase tenfold, from more than 100 billion US dollars now to more than 1 trillion US dollars.

Even if it is Apple, it will only grow from the current 100 billion US dollars to 2 trillion US dollars in ten years.

Whether there is such a return on investment depends on Ding Shuo's face.

Because Apple was able to develop to a market value exceeding two trillion U.S. dollars, becoming the company with the highest market value in the world.

The most important thing is that they have a strong enough voice in the field of smartphones.

But now in this time and space, with Ding Shuo as a reborn person, there must be another variable in Apple's future.

It is impossible for Ding Shuo to just sit back and watch the smart machine field, which can make a lot of money, and then let Apple be the hegemon.

Ding Shuo, the father of smartphones and mobile Internet, is certain.

Therefore, among the share priorities he gave JPMorgan Chase to acquire the four companies, Apple's priority is the lowest.

Far behind Microsoft, Amazon and Google.

It is because Ding Shuo is going to enter the smartphone industry, which will make Apple's future unclear.

However, Netflix, which he wants to acquire now, will have a market value of 300 billion U.S. dollars in ten years' time.

That's more than a hundred times ROI.

Now Will regards the acquisition of Netflix as a loss-making business. How can this not make Ding Shuo feel ridiculous?

Definitely, Ding Shuo knew it in his heart.

The main reason why Will has such a misjudgment is not because Will is stupid.

Purely because Netflix isn't into streaming yet.

The epoch-making drama "House of Cards" has not yet been produced by Netflix.

And Will doesn't have Gold Finger, so he will naturally think like most people that Netflix is ​​a company that relies on "rental" to survive.

Therefore, Ding Shuo still didn't laugh out loud, and didn't even underestimate Will because of it.

He just said indifferently: "I am very optimistic about the entertainment field, and the acquisition of Netflix is ​​also for the layout of the entertainment industry."

"After all, Netflix has a large number of film and television copyrights, and I can use them in the future!"

Indeed, the most valuable thing about Netflix, in Ding Shuo's opinion, is not the sales network that makes it the world's largest "rental" company.

It is a massive film and television copyright library.

With these massive film and television copyright libraries, he entered the field of streaming media, which will form copyright barriers.

Then there is the blessing of high-quality self-produced drama series "produced by Netflix, must be a boutique".

In the hands of Ding Shuo, Netflix will develop faster than the original time and space, and will eventually become stronger.

After hearing Ding Shuo's positioning of Netflix, Will understood.

I even felt that the original boss valued Netflix's film and television copyright library?

I thought the boss was going to sell it too!

...

A week later, Ding Shuo once again dominated the front page of The Wall Street Journal.

"The God of Investment Ding Shuo, making big moves again!" "

And the content is, it is reported that Ding Shuo spent 30 billion US dollars to successfully buy a stake in Microsoft, holding 7% of Microsoft's shares with voting rights.

Became the third largest individual shareholder of Microsoft and successfully entered the board of directors of Microsoft.

In addition, Ding Shuo also holds 10 percent of Google's voting shares.

Became the second largest individual shareholder of Microsoft and entered the board of directors of Google.

He also acquired 10% of Amazon's voting shares and became a director of Amazon's board of directors.

And acquired 5% of Apple's voting shares and successfully entered Apple's board of directors.

In addition, Ding Shuo successfully acquired Netflix with a price of 25 US dollars and completed the privatization.

The news has just been revealed. Affected by the financial tsunami, the stock prices of Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Google, whose stock prices have plummeted in recent days, have risen against the trend.

In just one morning, the stock prices of the four companies rose by an average of 25%.

The stock prices of each company have exceeded the state before the financial tsunami broke out.

In other words, in just one morning, Ding Shuo earned a paper wealth of 7.5 billion U.S. dollars from his 30 billion U.S. dollars.

If Netflix hadn't been successfully privatized by him, it would still be a state of a listed company.

I'm afraid that this morning, Netflix's stock price can double several times.

After all, the base of At the moment's Netflix is ​​still too small, and it is easy to double it.

...

For the executives of the four major companies, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and Google, whose stock prices have recovered from the impact of the financial tsunami this morning.

While they were happy, they also admired Ding Shuo's market influence.

The reason why they welcome Ding Shuo to join the board of directors is that they feel that Ding Shuo's joining will bring confidence to investors and shareholders.

The current results have far exceeded their psychological expectations.

Ding Shuo's invincible investment journey in the past year has made him, the god of investment, even far more influential on the market than Warren Buffett, the god of stocks.

Moreover, after this incident, which company Ding Shuo wants to invest in in the future will definitely be more popular.
