Chapter 602： How much does it cost?

The average number of visitors per day is more than 50,000. This number is said to come out, not only Elizabeth, I believe that most people will not easily believe it, but this is already an indisputable fact.

Since the advent of personal computers in the 1980s, tens of millions of users have accumulated in North America alone. These are important foundations for the promotion of online services. After Clinton took office, he increased the promotion of the information highway plan at the official level. .

However, the most important thing is that the graphical interface browser that appeared two years ahead of time has lowered the threshold for ordinary people to explore the online world. Together with the content support provided by the Yahoo portal and the free online services such as free e-mail, the network service is no longer limited. As professional computing personnel, they began to expand to the broadest user base, so Yahoo today's user scale.

"If you have to explore the reasons," I heard Elizabeth's doubts, Eric replied: "This is similar to the appearance of televisions in the 1950s and 1960s. People find that they can observe the world through a small box, so they choose to buy. Investors saw profitability and established television stations to provide content, so they gradually formed a very large industry. The current situation is that computer networks can not only observe the world, but also communicate with the world, and related hardware and software conditions. It has been accumulated for more than a decade, and once it begins to explode, the expansion is of course very rapid."

Elizabeth said: "But the traditional paper media industry is not likely to be eliminated as a result?"

Eric nodded: "Of course not, but it will not be as beautiful as before."

Elizabeth suddenly smiled and said: "What do you do now, I told my old man, oh, I mean, I told my father, the newspaper industry is about to decline, we still don't buy it? You think he will because How many words do you change the deep-rooted views?"

Eric spread his hand and said: "Then, the fireflies will sort out this part of the assets for public sale in the second half of the year. News Corp. has come to participate in the bidding, and in the business, whoever sells the highest price fireflies is sold to whom."

Elizabeth felt that this incident also seemed to be like this. Go back and tell Eric what he said to his old man. Even if it does not affect his final judgment, at least the news group will be afraid of this in the bidding, the bid will not be so radical.

"There is one more thing," the two men were about to leave after they finished talking, and Eric yelled at Elizabeth again. Road: "You don't want to reveal the size of Yahoo's user data."

Although Yahoo, IE and hotmail have been closely watched by the industry just now, on the one hand, the industry only saw three companies keep burning money but there is still no output; on the other hand, these three companies have never been public. Any data released by the company has been able to maintain a quiet expansion for several years. Although many people have realized that the users of the three companies are already very large, there is no specific data, but it is not enough to stimulate the awareness of too many people. If the data has just been revealed, many industry giants will realize that the total user size of 20,000 and the average daily visitor number of more than 50,000 people mean such a huge user base. Even if there is no profit prospects for the time being, it is definitely an area with broad investment prospects, which will attract a large number of competitors into this field.

Elizabeth stopped and asked, "Can't even tell my father?"

Eric solemnly nodded and said: "In particular, you can't tell your old man."

Elizabeth did not smack a hammer on Eric, but she promised: "I know, but these things should not be able to cope with it sooner or later?"

Eric confidently grabbed his fist and gently waved it. "As long as there is another year of layout time, my chips will be enough to crush any competitor!"

Portals, online mailboxes, etc. are relatively easy to copy. But as long as the instant messaging software developed by Steve Mitnick is promoted, and with other technical means such as the technical barriers of the IE browser, weaving into a huge user network, we can all new Internet users like black holes. Suck in.

The weaker the Matthew effect, the weaker the Internet industry is, the more obvious it is. Once a huge monster in a certain field is formed, it is difficult for similar companies to compete with it.

Elizabeth couldn't help but stare at Eric. She looked at the face with a strong and confident face for a few seconds. She felt Eric's eyes move and quickly avoided. "Yes, you just said let me recommend it for you." A Yahoo editor-in-chief?"

Eric saw outside Virginia waving to them. Walking with Elizabeth, I asked, "Do you have any good candidates?"

"I don't know if it's a good candidate. You can only judge it yourself," Elizabeth said. "Do you know Vanity Fair?"

“Well,” Eric nodded, and immediately remembered someone: “You wouldn’t say Tina Brown, would she be willing to leave Condé Nast?”

The portal has only just begun to emerge. Eric can only choose talents from traditional media, and this person must have a strong entrepreneurial spirit and an unconservative personality, otherwise it is difficult to accept the new field of Internet media. In the original time and space, Tina Brown led many magazines such as Vanity Fair and The New Yorker to a new era through a series of innovations. Now the age should be only in her forties. These needs are not lacking, and it is the cause of the cause. At the peak, if you can really dig this woman into Yahoo as the editor-in-chief, it is also a good choice.

In the memory, Tina Brown left the editorial position of Vanity Fair magazine and immediately transferred to another editor of the New Yorker magazine of Condé Nast Publishing Group.

Elizabeth said: "Tina has just left from Vanity Fair at the beginning of the year. We are still familiar. I saw her at a party two days ago. Condé Nast intends to let her become the editor of The New Yorker, but Tina also Hesitating, she is not a person who likes to repeat. If there is a better choice, I think she doesn't mind trying it."

Eric said: "Then wait for a call and give me a call."

......

As night falls, the manor villas are brightly lit inside and outside.

Since it was a birthday party, it was natural to start blowing candles. Everyone tried to find two little ones who were just one year old. I was able to call my mother's Hawaii and watched the people around me pointing at the candle on the cake in front of me. It seemed very impatient. Finally, I just extended my small hand and grabbed it with a candle. It was a candle, causing a burst of laughter. Xiao Kewen was directly scared by a stranger in a circle, and finally the candle was blown out by Emma.

Divide the cake. The party officially began, and the table was filled with casual dinners, and the guests began to gather or stand together in twos and threes.

Eric greeted the guests with a glass of red wine in the crowd, and continued to talk about the film in the afternoon with Pierre Clark, from Merrill Lynch. Joanna suddenly walked over to him and gently pulled his sleeve.

"Sorry, I missed it," Eric nodded to a few people and then came to Joanna. Whispered, "What's wrong?"

Joanna just whispered: "Eric, you come with me."

Eric was a little unclear, so he followed Joanna into the villa and went upstairs through the hall full of guests. Joanna pointed to the bedroom and said, "Vigie cried, you go to persuade, I don't. Know what to say."

Eric stopped and asked, "What happened? Isn't it just okay?"

"About Kevin," Joanna said: "Summer and summer will speak more than a month ago. Kevin can't say anything, just..."

Eric heard it almost halfway and smiled helplessly. He said, "Let's go entertain the guests, I will come by myself."

Pushing open the bedroom door and seeing that Virginia was bending over to change the diaper for the little guy lying in bed, Eric walked over and squatted on the big bed, watching Virginia have some reddish eyes. Road: "No need to do this, the boy's development is originally later than the girl. Einstein will only speak when he is three years old, the little guy is only one year old, what are you anxious?"

"Everyone thinks that Kevin is stupid, they just don't say anything." Virginia felt a sore nose and seemed to have signs of crying. He handed the little guy to Eric and said, "You hug He, maybe you won't like him if you grow up."

"What a stupid thing," Eric glanced at the woman. Knocking the little guy in his arms, sticking out a finger and teasing his son, Kevin, with his big eyes, saw the finger that was swaying over him, grabbed it and sent it to his mouth, just a few Small deciduous teeth tickle up.

Vignia looked at the appearance of the father and son, and put a little bit down, pulled a seat sitting on the edge of the bed, and suddenly regretted and sighed: "I should have chosen a Caesarean section. Kevin must have been missing for a long time. This is the case with oxygen."

"Do you think that Kevin has measured IQ? Isn't that okay?"

Vignia said: "How can such a small child be accurate?"

Eric realized that the woman who was convinced of the truth couldn’t turn anymore. She had to whisper to the son lying next to her: "Baby, let’s talk, let’s talk, and don’t talk to mom, I don’t like you.”

The little guy looked at Eric with his round eyes. He didn't seem to understand Eric's words. He seemed to understand the general.

Eric looked at his son like this, and some of his intentionally tried to say: "Come, first call the father to listen, follow me, father."

After a short silence, the little guy in his arms suddenly made a short syllable: "啪啪"

Although the pronunciation was very vague, in the quiet bedroom, Eric and Virginia were all clearly heard, and Virginia was suddenly standing up from the chair, with a surprised look on her face. There is no just sadness.

"I just said, this little **** is definitely stupid," Eric suddenly laughed, turning the little guy over and rolling down on his little buttocks, saying: "And waiting here to account for I am cheap, I have to ask for it before I can speak out."

Although Eric didn't have any effort at all, the little guy was still crying at once, and Virginia quickly robbed his son from Eric, and stunned with a slap in the face. Uncertainly, the 'culprit' who cried his baby, smashed out of the room.

Eric went downstairs and Joanna greeted her nervously.

"It's okay," Eric said with a smile and just said something to Joanna. Joanna also breathed a sigh of relief: "This Vichy can finally be assured."

"She just cares about it," Eric said with a smile.

Most of the villas are female guests. Eric and Joanna just said a few words, they are leaving, Chris's girlfriend Emily will come over and block Eric's way.

"You can't leave me a word without it. I have contacted a lot of models, and now I have a bad plan."

Eric smiled and pointed out: "You still have a heart to worry about this."

Emily showed an annoyed look, but she couldn't complain that Eric brought Jeffrey: "Chris will explain to Jeffrey, we just bought the company, and every day I can't even sleep." I still have to get married. You don't want to transfer the topic. But when you bought us for the company, you can't leave it."

"I never intended to let go," Eric said. "But I haven’t had time recently. You don’t know it, and I can tell you about my plan, you can’t do it yourself. I have to take this shot myself, you can only cooperate."

"I can't do anything, you should first disclose it, at least I can prepare in advance."

"I intend to personally direct a Victoria's Secret Annual Show."

Emily was disappointed and retorted: "Only this? How can I not do this? You didn't come over last year's New York Fashion Week. Brighton's fashion show is my own operation, and Wei Mi now has The annual new product release show."

"Of course, there are more than these. I want to gather a model of the world's top models, invite the hottest pop singers to the scene, and make the fashion show a whole through media pre-heating, magazine promotion, live TV and online media channels. Fashion Carnival makes Victoria's secret a globally popular symbol."

Although Eric just revealed a simple idea, Emily was obviously shocked by Eric's huge idea and the chin almost fell, stuttering and saying: "This... how much does it cost?"

"First of all, my personal director costs at least $10,000, which is still a discounted price," Eric made a joke, and then said: "We should value how much this marketing strategy can make for the company. Instead of spending much, I promise that the money is absolutely insignificant relative to the expected future earnings." (To be continued.)
