America's Road To Fame Chapter 330

The so-called "Gentle Township is a Tomb of Heroes", Chen William also felt so much.

When he saw Nozomi Sasaki, even if this kind of thing can't be true for the two of them..., he felt extremely tender in his heart, and he almost wanted to spend one more day with her, putting aside the Netflix thing first. .

Of course, although she can't, it's not impossible, and I don't know what Sasaki's mother taught her, she still used other methods to let Chen William learn knowledge, but in the end, Sasaki Nozomi had a rare pregnancy reaction. ...

It seems that Hastings is really interested in the acquisition of 20th Century MGM by Netflix. After knowing that William Chen had arrived in Los Angeles, he came here overnight from Silicon Valley. In this villa, William Chen saw him.

Hastings sought to acquire 20th Century MGM through Netflix, with the aim of having some control over 20th Century MGM, so that he could customize Netflix's self-produced dramas through this company. , and use 20th Century MGM content for its use.

But for William Chen, the most important thing is that Netflix must be included in the system of Meta Entertainment and Media. This is the premise of Netflix's acquisition of 20th Century MGM.

William Chen discussed these issues with Hastings for an afternoon, except that Hastings agreed to include Netflix in Meta Entertainment Media's system under the condition of ensuring his relatively independent management of Netflix. In addition, he also told William Chen a lot of thoughts about the future Netflix business. In the end, these words moved William Chen and agreed to let Hastings try to acquire 20th Century MGM with Netflix.

But before that, Hastings still needs to do one thing, and that is to convince the current CEO of 20th Century MGM Pictures - Jim Gianlopoulos.

This is not easy. After all, the current size of 20th Century MGM is much larger than that of Netflix, which is more than ten times that of the latter, and during this period of time, Jim, 20th Century MGM has a lot to do The management of the film industry has also been fruitful. Under his leadership, MGM has gradually shortened the distance from Disney in the 20th century.

So in this case, getting Jim Gianlopoulos to agree to the 20th Century MGM behemoth being acquired by such a small up-and-comer as Netflix is certainly not going to be an easy task.

In fact, if possible, William Chen would prefer Netflix to develop independently, just like Spotify, another streaming media company he acquired. Although William Chen has absolutely controlled the music streaming company, he has not held any relationship with himself. Some EMI Music merged, but still maintained independent operations.

In this way, on Spotify, there will not only be EMI content - although EMI has become the world's largest record company through acquisitions, there will also be other companies, including Universal Music, Sony Music and music from various other labels. .

This makes Spotify the most comprehensive music streaming company, and its share of the entire music market is also increasing.

However, each company has its own unique situation. Netflix is still different from Spotify. In Spotify, even after William Chen completed the holding, he still did not take back the shares that he had previously sold and given to other music companies. Music companies of Spotify are able to benefit from Spotify and will continue to license music rights to it.

Netflix, on the other hand, is facing fierce competition from the hulu video playback platform, and the company's actions are somewhat similar to Spotify. It is also a major Hollywood company that holds shares in hulu. Now the largest shareholder is Disney. .

They later acquired 30% of the shares of hulu company owned by News Corporation, making it the largest shareholder of hulu company with more than 60% of the shares, while Universal also holds 30% of the shares of hulu company, so including these two Some Hollywood companies, including the company, will license the film and television copyrights in their hands to the hulu platform.

This is very detrimental to Netflix, and this is the main reason why they are determined to start their own dramas. Therefore, the significance of their acquisition of 20th Century MGM now is that since it is difficult to obtain the copyrights of other companies, at least they are in their own hands. There should be a stable copyright, and there should be a company that produces the most film and television dramas.

William Chen also saw this situation and analyzed the specific issues in detail, and finally agreed with Hastings' attempt to acquire MGM in the 20th century.

However, on the side of 20th Century MGM Pictures, he will not personally persuade CEO Jim Gianlopoulos. After all, the other party is also very capable. He is a hero of 20th Century MGM, and he will only be in a detached position. , to balance the relationship between its companies, and will not personally end up helping Hastings to do the work, everything depends on him to persuade himself.

On Hastings' side, being able to get William Chen to nod his head was considered a success. After saying goodbye to him, he began to embark on the journey to MGM in the 20th century with great interest.

Next, William Chen temporarily bid farewell to Nozomi Sasaki and went to Silicon Valley.

Meta technology, the most important work now, is not Twitter, no, nor PayPal, which has just acquired the right, but the ongoing cloud computing - Meta cloud.

In cloud computing, Alibaba is doing it in China, and in Silicon Valley, whether it is Google, Facebook, Microsoft or Amazon, they are all doing research in this area.

For Meta Technology, with the increasing popularity of mobile smart phones, the entire mobile Internet industry has ushered in an explosion, the number of users has grown rapidly, and more and more data needs to be processed.

Therefore, cloud computing is a strategic requirement for Meta Technology and must be developed.

In order to develop cloud computing projects, Meta Technology is not only maintaining contact with the Alibaba Cloud team at this time, but also poaching many cloud computing technical talents from other companies, including Google and Facebook.

The importance of cloud computing, for example, is the Siri that William Chen in Meta Technology attaches great importance to. In the future, Siri will connect with users in smart speakers, mobile smartphones, TVs, cars and other terminals, especially smart speakers. Can a small speaker complete the complex process of password input, identification, search, and inductive output?

Of course not, the so-called smart speaker will only be a carrier of voice input and output in the future. A series of tasks such as search, calculation, and induction in the middle are all connected to the network through smart speakers and completed on the "cloud".

Therefore, once Meta Technology's cloud computing research is successful and its own Meta cloud is established, then Siri's smart speakers can be realized, and the sale of smart speakers can start to seize the living room of ordinary families.

For a long time, compared to other companies in Meta Technology, such as Twitter, etc., Siri has received a lot of support, but it seems that both the number of users and the development of business have lagged behind other projects.

Although William Chen understands that the potential of Siri is in the future, because there is not much to say about it. But Siri's own ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is also under comparison, secretly hoping to make efforts as soon as possible.

The research direction of Siri Company originally includes artificial intelligence, and cloud computing is also related to it. Therefore, Siri Company is the most concerned party in the cloud computing project established by the Meta Research Center.

The current CEO of Meta Technology is Sundar Pichai. In fact, he was the CEO of Meta Technology at the time. It was not too long since he took office from Twitter. Therefore, he was selected as the CEO of Meta Technology. William Chen made this at that time. Decisions are not easy.

After all, those other companies, whether they are founders or executives, are older than Sundar in Meta Technology, so this newer Sundar can secure a firm seat as CEO of Meta Technology and get other people approval?

In this regard, William Chen was also difficult to determine at the beginning, but now it seems that he has done a good job, many things have been implemented smoothly, and various businesses of Meta Technology have grown very satisfactorily. , leaving many competitors behind.

In particular, the performance is very dazzling. Compared with the Asian market, which needs to be promoted through joint ventures with local companies, in Europe and the United States, it is simply encountering gods and killing gods and Buddhas. There is no opponent at all, even if you want to Those who imitated it, under the fast running, were quickly thrown away and disappeared.
