MTL - Rebirth in a Perfect Era-Chapter 1674 Good luck

Felix himself had a great opinion about inviting Li Mu to appear on the cover of Time Magazine's US version, and believed that Li Mu would not deserve to appear on the cover of Time Magazine's US version anyway.

What he didn't expect was that Li Mu didn't seem interested in this cover, and even made a series of incredible requests.

So far, although Time Magazine has used children as covers, those children are representatives of extraordinary significance at the time, such as snapshots of poor children in Africa and close-ups of children in war refugees. In addition, they have never used one. A childhood photo of an adult as a cover.

Moreover, they were invited to be the cover characters by Time Magazine, but the parties did not even give the interview face, which is a bit too much.

What made Felix unacceptable was that Li Mu even refused to mention God in the Times report!

Although the United States claims to be the largest immigrant country in the world, the bones of this country are actually a Puritan country. Traditional Americans believe in God and respect the Second Amendment. It can be said that one hand is used to hold the Bible and the other One hand is used to hold a rifle.

This is the kind of country that once imposed a strict prohibition on alcohol and criminalized abortion. Presidents have to swear their oaths on the Bible when they assume office. This shows how deeply they have worshiped religion.

However, Li Mu did not like this feeling.

He respects every belief in the world, but as an atheist, he is unwilling to associate with any religion.

Felix angrily conveyed Li Mu's words to the senior management of Time Warner, protesting: "Li Mu did not allow us to mention God in his report. This is an insult to our faith! We must not let this happen. People appear on the cover of our magazine. "

Time Warner's executives said very indifferently: "Li Mu is not an American or a Puritan. He just doesn't want you to mention God in his reports and does not interfere with your freedom in other articles. What's wrong? Is it? "

Felix reasonedly argued: "We are a Puritan nation, this is our belief and tradition!"

Time Warner executives asked him: "So what? Is it because we have our beliefs and traditions that we should use this to ask others? I ask you, if you are the manager of a McDonald's restaurant, someone The customer just asked him not to put ketchup in the fries he ordered, is there anything wrong? Is it because he has ketchup in the fries that your restaurant offers, and he has to eat it? "

Felix was silent for a moment.

He didn't expect that the usually taciturn high-ranking was so talkative when he started a debate, and he could not stop himself in a few words.

At this time, the other party cleared their throats and said, "Felix, we all know what kind of person you are, but I have to remind you that it's okay to discriminate in your heart. Everyone has something uncomfortable in their hearts. , But you better lock your personal opinions to me in your heart, if you dare to bring to work, I immediately propose to the board to replace you! Even if you leaked out in the daily life, get arrested Hold the handle, I will definitely inform the board of directors, and I earnestly ask the board of directors to remove you! "

Felix was frightened by the harsh tone of the other party, and changed his tone in a hurry. He said respectfully, "You can rest assured that I must keep your account in mind and never cause trouble to the company or individuals ..."

The other side said with a humor, "You have the best in your heart. Li Mu is the cover character. You must give me all you can. Now Wall Street generally believes that with the development speed of Li Mu, his value is likely to be in Over five hundred billion dollars in the next five years, do you know what the concept is? If you offend him and miss this opportunity, you can pack up and leave! "

Felix was taken aback by this number, more than $ 500 billion in five years? This number is too scary, right? is it possible?

Felix promised, and at the same time, he found an opportunity to contact his friends on Wall Street and asked him in private about the possibility of the news.

His friend, who was also a high-tech talent in Silicon Valley entrepreneurship in the early years, but later came to Wall Street as a financial analyst because of the family industry. It can be said that he knows the Internet better than ordinary Wall Street people.

In fact, Felix also knows that Li Mu ’s theoretical value has already reached 100 billion US dollars. However, because he has just experienced the Internet bubble, he does not think that this 100 billion US dollars is any great. Before and after 2000, many Internet companies had a huge market value. This bubble money is coming and going fast. Today, Li Mu is still the pride of the sky. Maybe the bubble will burst again tomorrow, and he will become a billionaire.

What Felix didn't expect is that after asking this friend on YY, the other party immediately responded to him: "Break through 500 billion US dollars in five years, just the superficial judgement of these guys on Wall Street. Layout will be possible within three years. "

"Three years? Are you crazy? Why can Li Mu do it ?!"

Felix originally wanted to get some low-minded Li Mu's remarks, but he did not expect that his friend's admiration of Li Mu even surpassed the general recognition on Wall Street.

And his friend explained: "Li Mu has several business lines with great potential. For example, he bought Apple some time ago and did not fire any of Apple's employees. Apple has never been new. Action, this kind of extremely contrasting sign shows that Apple should be doing large-scale research and development work, Li Mu is likely to be doing something big. "

"Li Mu ’s Taobao is doing very well, and the supporting small package efficient logistics has achieved the industry-leading level of technical content. The Internet is developing so fast and the market share of e-commerce is growing. Li Mu ’s Taobao The Huaxia market can become a unicorn. If Li Mu decides to let Taobao go abroad, this business line is likely to become the future online Wal-Mart. "

Felix asked in confusion: "Online Wal-Mart? Does that Taobao really have such a **** you say?"

The other side sent a smiling expression, saying: "Everyone has a different starting point from which to look at the problem, and their perspective is even different. However, I personally think that if Li Mu takes out Taobao in the future and does global operations, it will definitely be A huge business opportunity. "

Speaking, the other side said, "Moreover, Li Mu has long been engaged in data processing centers around the world. At present, no Internet company can compare data processing capabilities with Makino Technology. Now Makino Technology's data processing center is not only comprehensive Satisfying Makino ’s own needs, and even started ToB business. They opened their redundant data processing capabilities to other Internet companies. The future prospects of this business line are very broad, and they can even reach trillions of dollars in the next ten years. Large-scale market, so if Li Mu's business lines are developing smoothly, the three-year value of 500 billion US dollars, I feel nothing at all. "

Felix couldn't help asking: "Is there such a big market space for data processing?"

The other party said: "It looks scary, but you know it a little bit. Six billion people worldwide. Wal-Mart just has less than one billion people in offline retail. It already has a market value of nearly 300 billion US dollars. Half of the top ten people on the list are children of the Wal-Mart founder family. Li Mu covers nearly one billion Internet users worldwide. In the future, the Internet services used by these netizens may rely on half of the data processing center of Makino Technology. , How much profit margin do you say? "

Having said that, he added: "And most importantly, the growth rate of global Internet users is much faster than the number of customers covered by Wal-Mart. In a few years, the number of global Internet users may exceed two billion People, three billion people, if there is one day, Makino ’s data processing business will definitely make a profit. "

Felix was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Since this part of the business is so profitable, why didn't other companies start?"

The other party replied: "It is too expensive and the threshold is too high. To do such a thing is to invest in the construction of a large number of hub airports around the world and purchase a large number of aircraft for transportation between the hubs ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ few The company can afford it, not to mention that Makino is also a super player. I think that at the current development speed of Makino, at least 50% of the global Internet data processing business will be in their hands. By then I've made a profit. "

The prospect of cloud computing, at this stage, can only be seen by people who really understand the Internet. Felix is ​​naturally ignorant, but through his friends' analysis, he has been shocked.

The other party concluded: "In fact, Li Mu's current ability, as long as you don't choose the wrong direction, basically can do anything. You see that the influence of your time magazine seems to be great, but in fact, you once recommended the cover character, put it Compared with the saturated launch of YY network or Weibo Twitter, it is more than an order of magnitude worse. I think Li Mu can replace Murdoch as a new media tycoon at any time if he is willing. At that time, media like your time magazine will be left. It ’s just the symbolic meaning that has been in operation for many years. Do you understand the symbolic meaning I said? That is, everyone no longer pays attention to what is specifically written in Time Magazine, they only pay attention to who has appeared in Time Magazine in this issue. "

Felix marveled at this conclusion from his friends. There are already a lot of data to show this. Time Magazine's sales have been declining, and the cover characters of each issue of Time Magazine will be reported by other media. To be honest, Everyone's attention to Time Magazine is now mostly just looking at its cover.

At that moment, the friend suddenly asked, "Yes, have you tried to invite Li Mu? If Li Mu is willing to put on your cover, then you are really lucky!"
