Therefore, at this time, I will accompany Fan Bingbing in the manor When strolling, William Chen also needs to pay special attention to climate changes.

Fortunately, these days, God has given me extra face, the sun is good, and the wind is not too strong, allowing the two of them to walk on the forest path in the afternoon while listening to Fan Bingbing talk about her time in France. some fun.

On April 4, before the due date, Fan Bingbing's stomach reacted.

On the same day, she gave birth to a baby boy for William Chen. This was William Chen's sixth child and third son. According to the rules, he was named Chen Bingyi.

Calculated in this way, up to now, William Chen has had six children, three boys and three girls. If you add the little life that is still conceived in Paris' stomach, there will be seven. When these children are gathered together, I am afraid it is also quite spectacular.

Maybe after Fan Bingbing gave birth to this child, the happiest thing will be her mother. After all, in the hearts of Chinese people of their generation, with Fan Bingbing's current situation, sons will always have more advantages than daughters .

After staying with Fan Bingbing in France for a few more days, William Chen left France for the United States.

……

On April 2012, 4, the star-studded El Capitan Theater in Hollywood, USA, held a luxurious and grand world premiere of the movie "The Avengers" here, but many people have not realized that an era belonging to the Avengers will come from this The curtain officially kicked off.

The movie "The Avengers" is a menacing movie. As soon as it was released, it set off a wave of movie-watching frenzy around the world.

The pre-sale movie tickets all over the world were sold out, and the major theaters were urgently added. Many movie fans queued up all night, and even the movie theaters at midnight were full.

After the first three days, the performance of the movie "Avengers" is amazing.

In the North American film market, the film has achieved great momentum, surpassing US$3 million in the first three days, creating a new box office myth in film history.

The momentum of attracting money in overseas markets is also unstoppable, reaching 6.418 million US dollars, setting a new record for Marvel Pictures.

Under such circumstances, some professional organizations have raised the North American box office forecast of the film "The Avengers" to 6 million US dollars. The highest-grossing film to date.

Different from the "Avengers" in the previous life, because Marvel Entertainment took back more superhero copyrights at this time, the "Avengers" camp is even bigger. Not only did Spider-Man appear in the first "Avengers" Among the "Alliance" movies, follow-ups including the X-Men and Fantastic Four will also appear in this series of movies.

Therefore, "The Avengers" at this time performed even stronger at the box office.

It was at this time that William Chen arrived in the United States, and he first went to Silicon Valley.

After Zoom invested US$20 billion in cash and became a 20% major shareholder of Meta Cloud, Meta Cloud has successively built 30 data centers around the world. Now in the global cloud computing field, Meta Cloud has a market share of It is already the second largest cloud computing company after Amazon's AWS.

And the gap between the two is also constantly narrowing. With continuous capital investment, Meta Cloud is also encroaching on the market of Amazon's AWS.

On the other hand, Groupon, which Amazon has invested in, after its market value reached a peak of nearly 350 billion US dollars, due to the gradual shrinking of the group buying business, and their internal struggles, they are vacillating about the company's transformation. Up to now, with the The market is not optimistic. Their market value has fallen below 250 billion US dollars, and they still have no momentum.

What Amazon expected when it acquired Groupon was to let the company enter the online sales field of the grocery store alliance, but it did not succeed. With the continuous development of Zoom in this field, there is not much market space left. up.

It's just that with the development of cloud computing, more and more companies are trying to use cloud computing services to replace the traditional purchase of servers, making their choices more flexible.More and more companies have begun to conduct research in this field, including giants such as Microsoft, Google and Facebook.

It's just that they were not optimistic about cloud computing in the early days, so the cloud computing field at this time has been dominated by Amazon and Meta Cloud. More of them still find that they need cloud computing services, but they don't feel relieved to put their data on it. On top of Amazon's AWS and Meta cloud, they have no choice but to develop their own cloud services.

Of course, Meta Cloud does not mean that the technology is complete now. At the beginning, they were mainly provided to companies under Meta Technology, including Twitter, HOLA, Reddit, and Siri. Later, after investing in Zoom, Optimized specifically for e-commerce business.

After the data service for the e-commerce business has met the requirements, Netflix has also joined in, so for the streaming media business, Meta Cloud has also completed optimization, allowing users around the world to watch Netflix streaming media in high-definition quality content, you can get a smooth experience.

This is also one of the reasons why Netflix streaming is ahead of other streaming platforms at this time.

Among Groupon's investments, Zoom's revenue exceeded US$100 billion. Except for the US$20 billion invested in Meta Cloud, the rest of the funds were used for expansion and development.

Initially, Zoom’s development in the United States was carried out steadily. Through a solid construction system state by state, it finally completed its layout in the United States, and finally competed with Amazon in the field of e-commerce.

Afterwards, the layout was successively carried out in Canada and Europe.After returning a huge amount of money, Zoom has now not only occupied these two markets, continued to compete with Amazon, but also expanded the battlefield to more regions, including Australia, Russia and India.

It is worth mentioning that currently in Atlanta, Zoom has also provided e-commerce services as part of their Australian e-commerce network.

What annoys Amazon the most is that Zoom acquired a 30% stake in Indian e-commerce giant Flipkart with an investment of US$60 billion at the beginning of this year, making this company a member of Zoom and gaining much-needed funds to compete with Amazon in the Indian market.
