readx(); Daniel has always had a pretty face in the tech world.

In the beginning, it was because he started a wave in the Internet field. Many people first heard the name Daniel **** from the huge contrast between his fitness photos and "School Blues". Since then, in the past four years, the development of the Internet has been in full swing, but no star has ever surpassed him. The wave after wave of the Internet boom, driven by Fred's team and the growing number of fans, has made Daniel almost as good as the Internet. Entertainment equals.

This trend has become even more pronounced as he has developed a huge influence on and MB.

The leap-forward change has to start from last year's "Greek Wedding". The pop-up window promotion, active promotion, target group segmentation and social media marketing plan he created have all made Internet technology companies refreshing. The huge benefits that MB has obtained from this cooperation also makes many investment companies feel very sorry, because according to the scale of MB's development, if it does not get this opportunity, financing will be imperative, but now it is forced to do this. Delayed infinitely.

What's more, although the major shareholder of MB is not yet known, Google is brewing a plan among the participating companies, which means that it will not be short of money in the short term. If the major shareholder is willing to dilute the shares in exchange for Google's injection of development funds, then Nothing about them anymore.

However, the scale of MB affiliates, including Google, is already huge. Especially in the past year or so, MB's extraordinary achievements in business cooperation have made this community of interests indestructible. It is basically impossible to choose the path of promoting the interests of MB's transfer by lobbying the policy department and the rights group.

A start-up is worth billions, and everyone can see its value, and the more it is, the fewer people dare to act rashly.

In May of this year, the expansion of the "Technology Benefit All Living Beings" foundation is the latest development of the cooperation between Daniel's team and Silicon Valley.

There is no doubt that the Silicon Valley department is increasingly important in the economic map of the United States. It also added a fire to Daniel's arrogance. In comparison, Hollywood's annual output value of tens of billions is incomparable to Silicon Valley. If it weren't for Hollywood's burden of exporting America's soft power and culture, and for an elected nation. Celebrities have a certain amount of influence, and Hollywood would not have the status it has today.

This time, several major technology giants jointly invited Daniel to visit Silicon Valley, which can be said to further carry forward Daniel's Silicon Valley label.

For comprehensive media with a long-term perspective, there are enough things that can be analyzed from this point.

in film entertainment. He has billion-dollar global hits, he is the youngest member of the 20 million club, he is the youngest winner of both Oscar winner and supporting actor, and his production investment has benefited more than 100 million. It can be said that he is in this industry , is already one of the top few people. In the past 80 years in Hollywood, there are not many who are better than him.

On social affairs issues, challenge the president and confront senior members of Congress. Appointed as the senior ambassador of the United Nations, leading the rallies of tens of thousands of people. This has basically outperformed all Hollywood stars who are interested in social topics, and even some politicians do not have his reputation. Recently, the terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger is running for governor of California, and it is not for nothing that Daniel is proposed to run, although Constrained by his youth and education, this is not the mainstream opinion, but both campaigns are trying to pull him into their own camp. Given that the two candidates are similar, Daniel even has the clout to sway the outcome—especially for Schwarzenegger, who is in the lead, with a sizable chunk of his voters familiar with Hollywood. In other words, this part is also the most easily influenced by Daniel.

Now, as the first Oscar winner to be invited to Silicon Valley, it's clear that Daniel's influence has spilled over into a new realm -- the tech world. And even the business world -- this is the most powerful force in America, and as the nation of money, the power of these businessmen dictates all policy in this country.

Therefore, after the analysis, many people are blatantly pale.

"USA Today" even said that "this young man, without a doubt, has become one of the most influential figures in the United States and even the world."

There is a very clear evidence for this comment. During his trip to Thailand this year, he was arranged to be received by Prime Minister Sivana of Thailand. Princess Sirindhorn of Thailand will accompany him to visit the local refugee camp - this is already a state guest treatment, Of course, there is no lack of the country's leaders wanting to use him to publicize their country's intentions, but this is itself an integral part of influence.

Therefore, this trade-off has actually become a milestone for Daniel to move towards a new realm.

...

The first weekend of "Fake God" was 67.32 million, which changed the "hobbled state" of Daniel's first two works slowly climbing the box office.

In fact, by the end of May, the North American box office of "Rwanda Hotel" has reached more than 95 million, and it is a relatively normal estimate to reach as high as 100 million. The industry generally believes that the film's sympathy for the war victims and its sincere expression of the cruel side of the war are important reasons to impress the audience during this time period. In other words, "Hotel" encountered a "good" time, if Not the US-Iraq war, it will never have the results it is today, and even half of it is dangerous. As far as Daniel knows, "Hotel" was originally supposed to be released next year. At that time, although the war was still going on, the intensity was completely incomparable to what it is now, and its box office did not exceed 40 million in the end.

Another film, "The Pianist", took advantage of Oscar Dongfeng and the reputation accumulated from the previous platform-style release. The box office was also quite good. It was released a few days later than "Hotel", but the box office was even higher. After this week, it should be able to break 100 million.

In this way, Daniel's 100 million-dollar body was unexpectedly preserved-you know, after he took over "Rwanda Hotel" and "The Pianist", even the most optimistic marketers predicted him. Will be stripped of "School Blues" after each of the over 100 million halo.

All I can say is that God is really on his side.

Two niche literary films, taking advantage of the opportunity of the war, made great profits.

And the "Fake God" that followed is very impressive, it will definitely break 100 million next week, and it is very likely that it will reach the box office of "Bourne Bourne".

This can clearly tell the market that Daniel's appeal in mainstream movies, whether it is a blockbuster comedy or a blockbuster drama, is still unquestionable.

Universal's enthusiasm for Daniel has also reached a peak in the past year. Two of their most high-profile and lucrative films, both starring Daniel. Ron Mayer's leading role in this decision also kept him with the Stasi. Even Comcast management is getting more attention.

This is crucial for Daniel's return to Hollywood in the future.

However, more follow-up of these matters are now handed over to his subordinates, who are responsible for each of them, allowing Daniel to devote more energy and time to investment and social affairs.

...

Mountain View, Clara County, is where Google is now known across the United States.

Daniel stepped into Silicon Valley for the first time. In the original idea, the scene of holding a computer and rushing around everywhere did not appear. However, there were not many pedestrians, and occasionally some were no different from other Americans.

Therefore, the geniuses like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg seen in the media are actually not the norm in Silicon Valley.

More unexpectedly, he saw a lot of Chinese.

But it is not clear that these are all second-generation immigrants, or whether they were exchanged by top students from well-known universities in China.

Larry Page himself was waiting for him at the door, except for the reporters who followed him. There are also some reporters who are squatting here. It seems that many of them are from various online media and technology media. The former is relatively familiar, while the latter Daniel does not know much.

He had met with Page, but not in a particularly deep conversation.

Today was obviously a wonderful new experience for both of them.

Google's engineers are still overwhelmingly male, but Daniel's popularity has not been discounted. Maybe because of his anti-war stance, or maybe because of his roles in films like "Gladiator" and "Bourneville" that also appealed to men. In short, facing the warm applause of a group of senior programmers, Daniel still feels good.

Paige whispered to him from the side. "It's definitely Bill Gates' treatment."

"Really? I don't have any money like him."

"He's twenty-five years older than you."

The two looked at each other, but Daniel had changed a lot about this technical master.

"In view of your enthusiasm, I want to give you a suggestion." Daniel said to these technical talents, "If Google goes public. You must not sell the equity in your hand. I promise that the development and return of this company, You will be amazed that you are serving and creating a great business that will be respected by all and that will have global glory."

This prophetic statement. Let even more enthusiastic applause resound throughout the office, this time, even Page also applauded.

"You must know that Daniel is now a part-time prophet, so it is best to listen to him, work hard, and strive for more equity incentives." Page joked.

Since Daniel delivered his world-renowned visionary speech at the ceremony of being appointed as a goodwill ambassador, whether it is mocking him or supporting him, this is what it is like to say. The former said that he regarded himself as "God", "baseless" and "nonsense", and that it was a joke for a star without a detailed investigation and no professional background to publish such a sensational prediction. And supporters say that the future of the US-Iraq war is something anyone with a vision can see, and Daniel clearly belongs to that category.

Daniel shrugged helplessly.

"Yes, I'm going to compete for atheistic cardinals next year."

Then, in the laughter of everyone, I went to other departments to visit. Google was his first and most purposeful stop.

Those techies before are actually part of the purpose, because some of them are talents that Mark is going to bring to F2F, not to mention Sheryl Sandberg who is standing in the crowd - she is now in charge of online sales the second-in-command of the department. Before working with colleagues, we won the search business of AOL, which greatly strengthened the confidence of Google to go public.

After a quick turn around several Google departments, Daniel's entourage was waiting in the large conference room, and Google executives returned to their posts except for those accompanying them.

Daniel himself and Larry Page entered Page's top office.

Of course he won't be an uninvited guest, in fact, some intentions have been communicated long ago.

The relationship between Mark and Daniel is also within Page's grasp.

He is also aware of MB's actual equity relationship.

Therefore, in his opinion, this is not a star to interview the company, but an industry leader of the same status to discuss cooperation.

The determination of this impression is very beneficial to the negotiation. At least Page's attitude is very "correct". After all, his net worth is actually not as good as Daniel's. Although Google is much larger than MB, and has better development potential, compared to Daniel's shareholding ratio in MB, Page His shares have long been diluted to a relatively small part in several rounds of investment. His stake in Google is 16%, which is only less than a quarter of Daniel's in MB, although Google's valuation is in More than 6 times that of MB, but considering that Daniel still owns 16%, Shanying Company 80%, Weta Digital 20%, half of DD Films headquarters and all of the investment department, plus the one billion cash in hand, Larry Page is indeed not as rich as Daniel. What's more, Google has not yet gone public. It is somewhat unreliable to calculate net worth based on valuation.

Peppa made Daniel a cup of coffee, and Google's lounge was a great one, always stocked with delicious snacks and a variety of beverages.

Creating an environment where tech guys can stay home is very helpful in fostering their employment inertia and company loyalty.

"It was Eric who came to talk to you. But after I discussed it with him and Sergey, I'll handle this matter."

Now Google is not Larry Page, but Eric Schmidt, the former Knoller exec who joined Google in 2001 for the simple reason that neither young Larry nor Sergey are Competent management talents, they are proficient in technology, but not proficient in management, when the company becomes bigger and bigger~www.readwn.com~ more and more complex, and the business is not only after launching a product and continuously improving it, it needs a more People who are good at such things. Page later became a product manager, which can be regarded as a "knowing person and good responsibility" for himself.

Daniel is more thorough than he is. He does not hold any specific positions in MB or Shanying at all. He is only responsible for strategy, and the specific operations are all handed over to professionals.

So, Daniel also understands why Google finally asked Page to talk to him.

It's a deal between founder and founder, ultimate decision maker and ultimate decision maker.

"Mark was one of the first eight employees of Google, I don't know what you used to convince him, after all, MB didn't let him leave Google, so I was very curious. So, this made me determined to The bottom line of negotiation is pushed up a little." Page was very blunt.

Daniel needs a little getting used to.

After all, dealing with technical men is still a very special experience. (To be continued.)
