Antivirus software, in the western market at the beginning of the 21st century, is surging.
The battle for market share is more fierce than the browser war between Microsoft and Netscape.
Symantec, McPhee, little red umbrella, Norton Antivirus, Peter Vander, Kaspersky
After entering the 21st century, there are several Internet antivirus software giants all over the world.
Although it has not yet entered the 21st century, in the United States of America in the late 1990s, a group of anti-virus software companies committed to network killing, their fighting momentum has quietly risen, with the aim of using all means to suppress rivals and seize market share.
Of course, Zucker knows the strength of McAfee's future!
The second largest antivirus software in the world;
The annual turnover exceeds 5 billion US dollars;
It has more than 300 million users worldwide;
In 2010, Intel acquired McAfee at a sky high price of $7.7 billion. This is the biggest acquisition of Intel in the 21st century;
After entering the Great China market, he signed an agreement with Lenovo, and the pre installed "Dr. Peng" anti-virus software also gained great reputation.
How could Zhuke not have heard of such a giant company in his last life?
Therefore, after the Internet Exchange Summit on the same day, Zhang Wei, a private lawyer, was entrusted to find an investigation company to investigate the current anti-virus software market in detail.
Within two days, Zhuk received an investigation report.
"Huo!"
"It seems that the most powerful anti-virus software now is Symantec, the personal version with a unit price of 99 US dollars, and the enterprise version with an annual charge of at least 20000 US dollars. It has sold a lot, and its annual turnover is nearly over 100 million."
"And it just got $200 million in cash from VC. This huge amount of cash is enough for it to defeat dozens or hundreds of anti-virus software enterprises. "
After reading the materials, Zhuke could not help sighing.
"McAfee's development is now suppressed and in a state of extreme lack of liquidity. This is my chance to enter. "
......
A week later.
When he was well prepared, he began to take the initiative to contact McPhee. In fact, as he expected, McPhee was extremely short of funds.
It is the so-called "one willing to fight, one willing to get". After only a few negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement on the issue of shareholding.
At 20% above the market price, Zucker paid $1000 for a 15% stake in McAfee.
Of course, this fund is far less than the $200 million that Symantec has just started, but it is enough to enable McPhee, who believes in a steady strategy, to tide over the current difficulties.
200 million dollars?
It's not worth $200 million to sell all of McPhee!
At least, George sammenuk, President of McAfee, is happy with the deal.
Internet viruses in the late 1990s were not as rampant as they were later. But at the beginning of the 21st century, there are thousands of viruses born almost every day, wantonly violating the user's computer security. Although antivirus software companies are well-known, they have not yet become network necessities. Therefore, it is the best time to start now.
$10 million won 15% of McAfee's shares. I have to say that Zhuke made a lot of money!
Even if Zhuke doesn't do anything in the future, this share alone will make Zhuke a billion dollar rich man.
"Perfect!"
"I'm such a smart kid. I've dug another gold mine!"
Zucker danced and sang at home.
Shaolin Kung Fu is good. It's really good. I'm iron head Kung Fu. You're King Kong leg~
.......
After entering the middle of September, Zhuke, who had not rested for a few days, began his busy work again.
Ms. Donna, President of UPN television network, made a work report to Zhuke on the program "America's got talent" that had ended.
"Boss, the first season project of" talent show "has all ended. There are 14 programs, with an average of 45 million subscribers per program. In the finals, 60 million subscribers have been created, which is enough to rank among the top three cable TV subscribers in North America." Said Ms. Donna excitedly.
Zhuke nodded, "that subscription membership, should also be a lot of it?"
"Of course. At present, the number of subscription paid monthly members of UPN's official website has reached 40 million. " Donna Lang said.
what the fuck!
At this moment, Rao is surprised to see many strong waves of Zhuke!
This NIMA is all money!
The monthly membership price is not high, only $4, but the monthly membership of 40 million is frightening, that is to say, the income of paying members alone is as high as $160 million.
"It's more than advertising money!"
Zhuke immediately thought of another trump card of cable TV Channel - HBO!
Warner's HBO, which is known as the Yellow storm, has created a commercial broadcasting mode without advertising. It can make a lot of money every year by subscribing to members without advertising.
It has to be said that the profits of variety shows are simply appalling!
In just a few months, only the "talent show" project, after removing the expenses and taxes, has made at least $150 million!
"No wonder later, no matter in the United States, China, or even TV stations all over the world, they all enjoyed doing variety shows, because variety shows can make money!"
In the following time, Zhu Ke and Donna had a talk on the follow-up development of UPN.
TV drama project;
New variety projects;
UPN brand promotion, and other topics, launched a plan.
The next afternoon.
Zucker is on his way to Wald again.
"Hi, samaran, long time no see!"
"Hi, Mr. Wald, you are a rare guest. As the producer of the sixth sense, you haven't been to the scene once."
Director M. Knight Shamalan, looks at Zhuke rather bitterly.
However, it's absolutely useless for Zhuke, who has the cheek to catch up with and surpass the city wall: "samaran, how can you say it too much? Although I didn't show up on the set, you ask yourself, how much support do I give you? If you look at the major film companies in Hollywood, is there a boss who supports me like this? "
Suddenly, samaran was dumb.
In fact, it's true. Zhuke, the nominal producer, attaches great importance to the sixth sense.
Even if Zhuke has never been to the shooting scene once, every few days, Zhuke will personally ask about the pictures of the films he has shot and give some guidance. As a result, he wrote seven or eight work notes.
Can Zhuke ignore it?!
Man, that's a movie that made 600 million dollars in the original time and space!
"Well, you two, stop talking. Let's go into the screening hall and see the film."
Just then, Victor came.
At the same time, Victor does not come alone. Behind him are a man and a woman, who are the protagonists and actresses of the sixth sense.
The hero of the film: Bruce Willis;
Heroine: Angelina Jolie;
Juke's eyes were fixed and she stayed on Angelina Jolie for a few seconds. I have to say that Zucker is still interested in her.
