Chapter 544： IDMb website

Jeff Bezos is very interested in paypal!

Anyone with a little business acumen can see the potential of paypal, and the combination of e-commerce and online trading platforms definitely complements and complements each other!

In the previous life, Amazon didn’t acquire PayPal. It’s not that Jeff Bezos didn’t want to. It’s just that Amazon’s strength is too weak to eat.

As a result, PayPal was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion.

In this life, Dunn wants to make changes.

He directly rejected eBay's offer and negotiated directly with Amazon.

Of course Jeff Bezos couldn't come up with as crazy a bid as eBay.

"Mr Walker, as you know about Amazon, with the bursting of the dot-com bubble, Amazon's valuation has been severely undervalued, and it's impossible for me to make an offer like eBay."

Jeff Bezos came to the door in person, with a sincere attitude.

Dunn smiled and took the coffee from Ella Fisher and said, "Try it, authentic cat **** coffee."

"Cough cough..."

Jeff Bezos almost choked out.

Tang En said indifferently: "1 billion US dollars can be acquired with stock, plus an additional requirement."

Jeff Bezos' eyes widened. "A billion dollars? Mr. Walker, are you serious?"

Now eBay has raised the price to $1.5 billion.

And the current size of eBay is equal to 5 Amazons!

Under this circumstance, Tang En can refuse eBay, but choose Amazon, and sell it at a low price of 1 billion US dollars, which is really shocking!

Dunn glanced at him, "Do you think I'm joking?"

The future Jeff Bezos is very famous and awesome, and his wealth even surpassed Bill Gates and became the richest man in the world.

But now, Jeff Bezos is a small person in front of Dunn.

"This... This is so surprising, hehe, I really never dreamed that the acquisition of Paypal could be completed at a cost of $1 billion."

Now Amazon, with a stock price of $17.78, a share capital of 462 million, and a market value of $8.2 billion.

If paypal is acquired in the form of pure stock, an additional 56.24 million shares need to be issued, and Dunn occupies 30.93 million shares.

If the transaction is completed, Amazon's total share capital will become 518 million shares, and Dunn will account for 6% of the total share capital.

It can be said that Dunn will further consolidate the position of the world's richest man in the future!

And far ahead.

"Wait!" Tang En waved his hand and looked at him with a half-smile, "Jeff, don't forget, I have an additional condition."

"You say!"

"I need the IDMb website."

Dunn sold PayPal at a relatively low price, and naturally asked for corresponding benefits.

The IDMb website was established as early as 1990, and was later acquired by Jeff Bezos, completing the commercial transformation, from a pure film and television and video game database to a film and television news network.

Of course, more authoritative is the rating of movies, TV, and video games.

With the development of the Internet, the rating authority of IDMb in the film and television industry will become higher and higher.

Moreover, just this year, IDMb also provided a professional membership version, IDMbPro, which provides richer information on professionals in the entertainment industry.

In the entertainment industry full of gossip and gossip, many news can't tell the truth from the fake at all.

At this time, IDMbPro can provide authoritative conclusions.

Dunn knows the potential of IDMb, and this is a rating for film and television content, so it is necessary to include it in the bag.

"IDMb website?" Jeff Bezos raised his eyebrows and said hesitantly, "This website is a service supporting Amazon's main website, which allows us to provide corresponding information when selling DVDs and video tapes for users to choose from. ."

Dunn waved his hand in disapproval, "It doesn't matter! Even if New Universal acquires the IDMb website, Amazon can still use the rating information on IDMb."

Jeff Bezos hesitated.

He knew that under the new Universal Group, there was a Netflix company.

Netflix provides rental services for DVDs and videotapes, and the demand for the IDMb website is higher. Amazon provides the business of selling DVDs and videotapes, and the demand for the IDMb website is also very high.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Tang En said lightly: "Jeff, you have a long-term vision, and you have a very complete layout of Amazon. I can see this, otherwise I would not have handed PayPal to you. However, the basis of the transaction is It's mutual benefit. I know you value the IDMb website, but you have to understand that I saved you $500 million on the paypal acquisition!"

"Can I think about it?"

"certainly!"

...

Dunn's new book "Explosive Strategies", on November 13th, was listed on a small scale at Houghton Mifflin Publishing House.

As expected, this is not a bestseller.

Compared with the comic "The Walking Dead" he created, it is not a level at all.

"The Walking Dead" has sold 1 million copies in North America for two weeks, which is very scary!

In contrast, the book "Explosive Strategy" is a bit shabby.

On the first day of listing, only 22,000 copies were sold.

Among them, 5,000 copies were still ordered by major colleges and universities.

However, in the "New York Times", "New York Post" and other newspapers, the evaluation of this book is quite good, at least it did not fall into the illustrious name of Dunn Walker.

On November 15, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" finally hit theaters.

In North America, 3,682 theaters will be opened in four formats: ordinary film version, ordinary digital version, imax film version and imax digital version.

Today is Friday.

The movie theater that night became a paradise for children.

Especially the imax theater, once again caught in a situation of full house, it is simply a replica of the summer "Pirate League: The Curse of the Black Pearl".

imax film is still a new form of new trend at present.

After the viewing of the movie, there are also staff from New Universal, who are releasing investigation reports to movie fans.

The question is not about the film quality of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but the survey of the imax digital and imax film versions.

imax film is too expensive.

If all the classic old films of the past are converted into imax film versions, it is really worth the loss. For the conversion fee of two or three million dollars alone, it is difficult to recover the cost through dozens of imax theaters.

This has caused many Hollywood film companies to be reluctant to convert imax films.

It will also cause insufficient source of imax videos.

As more and more imax theaters are being established, you must find a way to enrich the source of imax movies, right?

Now has finally launched the imax digital version conversion technology, that is, the film is converted into a digital format, not only the conversion cost will be reduced to one-tenth of the film version, and the copy cost is very low.

Even if the technology is still immature, a digital copy of imax can be won for $800.

Compared to the expensive imax film version, the imax digital version is the lifesaver of old movies. It has also allowed many film companies that still hold a wait-and-see attitude towards imax films to have the possibility to test the waters.

The most critical question, how much impact will the imax digital version have on the audience's viewing experience?

After all, the clarity and brightness of the digital version must be comparable to the film version.

"What are the results of the investigation?"

At nine o'clock that night, Dunn received a call from Ron Mayer.

"More than 90% of movie fans think that the imax digital version is shocking enough! It is far more than the normal version of the movie!" Ron Mayer said excitedly.

Dunn smiled, he almost expected this result.

He said: "Although the imax digital version is worse than the imax film version, it must be better than the regular version! In this case, we can rest assured that tomorrow we can announce our survey results to all film companies and tell them that the imax digital version of the film is , we have succeeded! Low conversion fee, low cost copy, we can do it!"

If "Pirates League: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is the beginning of imax films, then "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is likely to give imax films a real craze.

The imax movie, with an unstoppable attitude, is stepping in the footsteps of the times, rolling in the strength of Tang En, and it is shocking!
