I am Kaka

Italy was still freezing cold in January, but Brazil was sunny, but Kaka didn't take advantage of the good time to enjoy the sun and the beach, but hurried to the United States.

On his business map, North America is the most important and the most important one.

Traditional industries, such as general electric, oil, insurance, media and financial industries, etc. have long been carve up, not to mention outsiders like Kaka, even those real capitalists who want to grab food from other people's bowls have a hard time. Difficult.

In contrast, some emerging industries that have not received sufficient attention are real opportunities, especially the network industry.

A magical industry with a degree of freedom far beyond any circle, which has created countless wealth myths.

Even if you are not proficient and understand the Internet, you should know that this is an industry that can change the world in the future. Even the most conservative traditional groups have to make changes to adapt to this industry either actively or passively.

Failure to change means death.

Kaka has no ambition to become the richest man in a certain country. He just wants to use his accumulated wealth and advanced vision in exchange for a little bit of cake in this upsurge, to achieve financial freedom, private jets and luxury. The extent to which things like yachts can be used as toys is almost the same.

And now, the opportunity has come.

In 2001, technology stocks unexpectedly fell across the board. After September 11, the U.S. stock market fell even more severely. In 2002, the main stock indexes tried to rise several times, but ultimately fell in vain.

This year is the best time to enter the market, and the first choice is naturally Apple.

A few years ago, Apple was in a deep quagmire, and many people wanted to get out. After Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he not only accepted the investment from Bill Gates, but also actively raised funds from outside.

If Kaka remembers correctly, in 2003 Apple's stock price fell from $36 to $12 per share, and then Jobs, the man who saved Apple, sold 55 million shares that would later be worth tens of billions of dollars.

The lowest plummeted to around $7 per share.

$7 apples, can you imagine?

Apple's most important product in 2003 was the iPod. Only people who bought Apple's MAC computers could use this MP3 player. Therefore, the iPod only had about 3% of computer users in this market. However, Apple was developing another version of the iPod at that time, compatible with After the launch of ordinary PC computers, users accounted for 97% of the computer market in one fell swoop.

Because of this epoch-making product, Apple’s stock will at least double next year at the latest, and then this company will gradually become a technology giant known to the world. Since the low point in 2003, the stock has risen to more than 200 US dollars .

Steve Jobs is an absolute genius. Apart from himself, he obviously doesn't want anyone to make Apple bigger. However, Kaka doesn't have that kind of unrealistic idea of ​​controlling an Internet group, and he doesn't think he Can do better than Jobs.

Old Joe eats meat, he drinks soup, it's as simple as that.

Therefore, Apple is definitely the best investment target right now. Almost all of Kaka's income during this period has been invested in Apple.

But in this regard, he has been standing behind the scenes, and Silva is in charge of the operation. This guy is a veteran of Wall Street, and he is obviously more familiar with various routines than Kaka. Although I don’t know why Kaka is so optimistic about such a family. A technology company that was about to die, but at the insistence of BOSS, it still bought a large number of Apple stocks.

But Kaka went to the United States not for Apple, but for Facebook.

At the beginning, he wanted to find Zuckerberg to invest, but after an investigation, he discovered that the so-called Facebook was not technically difficult.

The important thing is to be the first person to eat crabs, and then there is business planning.

In this case, why not do it yourself...

Although I know the general development history of Facebook, I also know many functional ideas that will be popular all over the Internet in the future,

But Kaka still understands the reason for walking too fast and talking nonsense, so he didn't make much fanfare, but like the development of Facebook in the previous life, he developed it in a low-key way, and developed it from the campus route.

The founder of Facebook is Mark Zuckerberg, a student of Harvard University. Facebook also started from Harvard, and then the scope of registration gradually expanded to other universities in the Boston area. , University of Rochester, New York University, Northwestern University and other famous schools offered their assistance one after another, turning this instant sharing website, which seems to have sparse functions and ideas in the future, into a national Internet star enterprise.

However, Kaka did not choose Harvard this time, but Wharton Business School, not to avoid a collision with Zuckerberg, but because this is Silva's alma mater, with his connections here, this The road will undoubtedly go more smoothly.

Wharton is known as the birthplace of the modern MBA and is one of the eight famous Ivy League schools in the United States. Its influence is no worse than that of Harvard, and it is definitely qualified to be the birthplace of Facebook.

Just because of buying a large number of Apple stocks, Kaka's current funds are insufficient. Although the development of the website has almost been completed, a large amount of capital investment is still needed in the follow-up, which cannot be afforded by his salary in AC Milan.

Facebook at Harvard should have been launched around 2004, and Kaka only had a one-year advantage. If he can’t take advantage of this time to quickly occupy the market, he will face a strong challenge from Zuckerberg later.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is the country of the United States, and he is a Brazilian, so it is imperative to find a partner from the United States.

Silva's efficiency is top-notch, and he has already found a suitable candidate, but he needs to be the boss to personally interview and make a decision.

United States, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Silva was again at the airport to pick him up.

"You look good, Boss."

"You're not bad either," Kakara put on her seat belt, "It looks like American girls are very enthusiastic, huh?"

"No, no, no, I still like Brazilian girls," Silva started his Cadillac. "By the way, when it comes to this, I'd better make it clear to you first, so don't make it embarrassing tomorrow."

"what?"

"Well, it's the meeting tomorrow. The other party may be different from what you think."

"Isn't it your alumni?" A wicked smile appeared on Kaka's face, "Could it be your... um, what?"

"How is it possible?" Silva said, "He is a few years younger than me, and is now studying for a degree in economics at Wharton. What I said is different means... Forget it, you will know it when you see it, or keep it a little mysterious The feeling is better, I still look forward to your expression."

"Yo? Is there anyone in America who can scare me?"

As a result, the next day, Kaka was really scared.

Silva was very satisfied with Kaka's expression, but he naively thought that it was Kaka's beauty and height of 1.8 meters that scared Kaka.

"Hello, Ricardo Kaka, you can call me Kaka."

"Hello, Mr. Kaka, I'm Ivanka, Ivanka ***."

Comrade Chuan Jianguo, who has a genius in every aspect, is surprisingly reliable in raising his daughter. He only provides enough living expenses and education expenses. After graduation, he went to Georgetown University to study, and two years later transferred to his father's alma mater, Wharton School of Business.

This is a real strong woman. Of course it’s nonsense to say that she doesn’t rely on her family at all, but her investment vision is really good. She paid attention to Silva when she first started to attract investment, and she was very optimistic about the instant sharing website, so Only this meeting happened.

"Sorry, Mr. Kaka, I think you look familiar. Have we met somewhere?" Ivanka was obviously no less surprised than Kaka.

He never imagined that the big boss behind Silva turned out to be a handsome man who looked about his age.

South American rich second generation? It is indeed a bit like ha.

"My first time in America, you must have seen me on TV," Kaka said. "I'm a football player."

Silva quickly offered an assist, "Brazil won the World Cup last year. Kaka was the main player and the youngest player in that World Cup. He is now playing for AC Milan in Italy, one of the best football clubs in the world." one."

"I see," Ivanka smiled, "Sorry, I don't pay much attention to football."

"Nothing, like I don't watch football, understandably."

"So, can you talk about it specifically? Your instant sharing website project."

"Does Miss *** know anything about the Internet?"

"It's definitely not a professional understanding, but I have done research on the Internet market. I think we should agree in this regard. I think the Internet will bring about a worldwide revolution."

"But now a lot of Internet companies are bankrupt."

"That's only temporary," Ivanka said. "I think the Internet industry has ushered in the time to take off..."

The tone of the description of Ivanka on the Internet in her previous life was beautiful, capable, capable and charming, good husband, good child, good family background, except that her father was a 250, a proper winner in life, it was over.

In Kaka's view, these things are very superficial and flashy, and they are basically stitched together from second-hand Chinese materials. It is obviously unrealistic to know a person through those things, but after real contact, I found that this American girl is quite easy to get along with. Inevitably, there are some non-human fireworks and why not eat minced meat, there are not so many disgusting bad things.

The same businesswoman, Kardashian, Hilton and so on, are not at the same level in front of Ivanka.

In addition, the investment requirements of the other party are not too much. After some bargaining, the tone of the cooperation has basically been set. Of course, it is only a verbal agreement. Business investment is very complicated. , Maybe a seemingly insignificant clause in the contract can mess up a business cooperation.

After Apple and Facebook are dealt with, Kaka's business empire is basically formed. There is no need to work hard in this area. For the rest of his life, he just needs to enjoy life and enjoy football.
