Oscar actor Daniel Sandler arrived in New York yesterday. During this trip, he will serve as a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Refugee Agency, attend and speak at a humanitarian aid conference. ≤, this is considered to be part of his wide influence, After winning the title of the youngest Oscar winner last month, he participated in two themed films, Hotel Rwanda about the 1994 genocide in the small African country of Rwanda and about the survival journey of a Polish pianist during World War II The movie The Pianist has both surpassed 60 million a few days ago, and according to the prediction of Shanying, a well-known analysis company, they may set a new box office record for similar movies, which seems to further illustrate Daniel's strong appeal among movie fans today.

New York local TV media reported Daniel's trip at the end of April.

This was the work he had to spare time to complete during the promotion of Fake God.

An international conference on humanitarian aid was held in New York, and the organizing committee invited Daniel to give a keynote speech.

In the past ten days, news from Iraq has been continuously transmitted back to the United States. The death toll of the British and American coalition forces has exceeded 100, and the number of injured has exceeded 300. As the coalition forces occupied Baghdad for longer, the media continued to report that the Iraqi government forces did not resist with all their strength, but dispersed and withdrew, using their familiarity with the local area to continuously attack the British and American coalition forces. Many of the dead soldiers were not on the frontal battlefield. fatal. This confirms Daniel's statement to some extent that the Iraqis will use asymmetric methods such as human bombs, car bombs, and street fighting to fight against the British and American coalition forces.

At present, the British and American coalition forces are trying to form a pro-Western government in order to achieve the goal of regime change. However, the surging opposition demonstrations in various parts of Iraq have gradually spread to the international community.

Americans have a lot of misunderstandings. In their view, soldiers from their own country came to Iraq at the expense of their lives just to save the Iraqi people from Saddam's brutal rule, and now. Their husbands, sons, and fathers died in Iraq, but they were not recognized by the Iraqis at all. Instead, they saw growing hatred.

This lack of understanding further contributed to the growth of the anti-war side.

Similarly, as the first to mention the assertion, Daniel's voice in such matters has also increased.

This invitation is also one of the results of this trend.

This is Daniel's first visit to New York after he won the Oscar. There are few promotional sites for The Pianist and Hotel Rwanda, and New York is not one of them. In fact, he has not participated in many, in the past month. In addition to dealing with intensive social affairs, his main job is to discuss the use of large sums of money from the oil market with Raymond and Havel.

Part of it must be used for the development of mb, which will allow him to raise funds when there are more users and greater value.

The fewer and later the number of financing rounds, the less interest Daniel will lose. Since Greek Wedding opened a new era of publicity, not only movies, but businesses from all walks of life have begun to use this very active platform for commercial promotion. Of course, this kind of active publicity has relatively little impact on user experience, because if you don't pay attention. Even if the other party sends more, it is difficult to come to your home page. And mb obviously hasn't reached the step of commercial promotion, that is, forcing some information onto your interface.

Moreover, Daniel's further capital injection, and Google behind it must also further capital injection. Because now neither Daniel nor Google can agree to dilute their shares in mb.

As mb hits the 10 million subscriber mark, it's valued at more than $1.2 billion—compared to what it was after The Greek Wedding. It continued to rise by 20%.

In addition to the development of mb, Daniel and Javier mainly consider the f2f he hopes to form—face-to-face, which is a variant of Facebook. He considered using Facebook directly, but this name has not been approved. Everyone's approval, after discussion, I think f2f is more appropriate, because in Daniel's description, this is an online community, and the main selling point is to build a relationship network, which is completely different from Twitter. The connection between Twitter users is Very thin, in fact, Twitter itself is an extremely flat social network, post information, and then people who follow you can receive it. The difference with f2f is that it has the information sharing mechanism of twitter. At the same time, it also includes various functions such as pictures, texts, sharing, etc. These functions form an online community similar to social interaction.

The origin of the name Facebook is not to say that it is the most appropriate. It's because Mark Zuckerberg developed a webpage at the beginning to compare the beauty and ugliness of Harvard classmates, and invited everyone to like it. Later, this webpage was banned by the school, and then he and two roommates built a classmate website. Generally speaking, classmate is always a thick book, which is the origin of Facebook's name.

Now that Daniel uses mb to promote this system, he doesn't need to start in college, so he didn't call it this name.

f2f can obviously express intent more intuitively.

Therefore, Daniel also followed suit.

The question now is how to promote f2f, whether it should be done under MB, or start from scratch. From the capital point of view, of course, it is more appropriate to start a new stove, at least he is not short of money now. But the most important issue is that if f2f needs to develop rapidly, it must rely on the power of mb. Although he is the controlling shareholder of mb, he still has to consider Google's intentions. In other words, there is a problem of benefit output. He transferred the benefits of mb to f2f, and Google's interests were significantly damaged.

In addition, he hopes to poach his brother Mark from Google, and of course add some technicians and management personnel. To put it bluntly, the team of f2f, he hopes to poach from several major technology giants, Google , Yahoo, Microsoft, Oracle, and more.

In this way, his relationship with Google will suddenly become tense. You must know that Silicon Valley is definitely not an open place. In fact, a few years later, several giants headed by Apple also signed a secret agreement, that is, they would not accept employees who quit from each other's companies-this was later sued out of court.

Therefore, in terms of planning, technology, and promotion, many complicated issues need to be discussed and formulated, which made Daniel not get any rest at the Oscars.

Then immediately came the promotion of Fake God, followed by today's meeting.

He was even on the phone with Javier before getting in his car for Manhattan.

After I go back this time, I have to talk to Page.

Mark has accepted your invitation? Kusa and Daniel were in the same car. He just came to meet his family members. After the family crisis of the Damon family, he communicated more frequently with his family members. Daniel asked directly Some, knowing that the Damon family took this opportunity, are withdrawing from some unclean industries.

After the plan was handed over to him, he thought it was very interesting. You know, Mark has been regretting that when I invited him to mb, he was greedy for his position in Google. At the age of Page and Blinken, how could he not survive? What's more, in recent years, Google has introduced a lot of high-level management, and the competition is also great.

Kusa nodded, So he is just concerned about Larry Page's attitude now? Or is he nostalgic for Google's equity?

After all, Page is his leader, and he is also very affectionate with Google step by step to today. As for the equity, I hope to help him retain it. Mark's equity is different from that of Shanying's management , his shares are fully owned, which means they can be sold. But Google will hold it next year. As a company with an annual revenue of 2.5 billion U.S. dollars and a profit of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, it is estimated that the price-earnings ratio is at least 40 times or more. In fact, Daniel knows that this number is 80 times terrifying. 4 million shares out of a total of 270 million shares will be worth more than 300 million shares, which is calculated at a relatively low issue price.

Basically, if Page disagrees with Mark leaving with shares, Daniel would rather let Mark join f2f after August next year. Google will undoubtedly create a large number of billionaires, and Daniel will not want to deprive Mark of the opportunity to be one of them. Of course, he can also let Mark own equity, and the value may be greater, but this kind of thing cannot be replaced Yes, Google is not just a dollar for Mark.

Moreover, Mark also found some candidates for him within Google, such as Shirley Sandberg, who was originally the chief operating officer of Facebook. Zuckerberg trusted her very much. In daily operations, Shirley The decision-making power is very large.

All of these must be communicated with Larry Page, not to get his permission, but to gain an understanding that everyone lives in a circle and is polite to each other, there is no harm.

But a technical man like Page is really frightening.

I've asked Raymond to ask him out, anyway, sooner or later there's going to be a knife.

But it's a happy cut, isn't it?

The two came out of the door talking and laughing, Miller was standing on the side, and all fans and the public who knew about his itinerary stood at the door, Daniel smiled and waved to them.

boom!

A gunshot followed by screams. (To be continued..)
