Start by trimming cow hooves

Apart from preparations for the concert, nothing important happened in the next few days.

As Netflix Entertainment gradually gets on the right track.

More than eight months after its establishment, it has achieved the latest market valuation of US$4.5 billion.

Some institutions are particularly optimistic about its prospects and have even raised its valuation to US$5 billion to US$6 billion, believing that its user growth and revenue growth rates are much higher than previously expected, showing great potential.

This gives Suri a sense of accomplishment.

If he chooses to cash out now and sell his shares in Netflix Entertainment.

I believe that giants such as Universal, Warner, and Disney will be very interested. Even if it is less, Suri can earn ten times the profit of the US$250 million investment.

In particular, several media oligarchs involved in the TV station business have long expressed strong interest. Some major shareholders even couldn't help but indirectly invest in Netflix's parent company.

We are not even halfway through 2009 yet.

Basically, it can be determined in advance that Netflix Entertainment is the hottest dark horse in Silicon Valley this year.

Even many concepts such as social networking, online shopping, and mobile games cannot compare with it.

After all, Netflix Entertainment, which has only been founded for more than eight months, has not only achieved a monthly revenue of over 100 million, including advertising placement and other income, but has also successfully turned a profit and accumulated 24 million active users.

For an Internet company, the speed of development is simply astounding.

Many venture capital institutions have mixed emotions.

They not only hope that Netflix Entertainment can maintain its current growth rate, but they are also worried that they will not be able to find an opportunity to get on board. With the Series A financing in sight, the stock of Netflix’s parent company has become a hot commodity, with a market value of It has soared to about US$3.7 billion.

Compared with this investment, the valuation of Tesla, which was also financed by Suri, not only did not increase, but fell slightly.

The main reason is that the sales of the Roadster series of electric sports cars are so bleak that people can't bear to look at it. They have invested too much money in research and development, but they have not been able to achieve any outstanding achievements.

The same goes for Fisker Electric Vehicle Company, which Suri invested in. It is investing in the research and development of motors and electronic control technology.

He felt that Elon Musk might have begun to regret his decision to reject the acquisition invitation a few months later.

When there is an opportunity, maybe we can try again and annex Tesla through Fisker to save one or two years of research and development time.

Compared with when he was financing Tesla before, Suri is now less short of money and can offer Elon Musk and other Tesla shareholders a price that is enough to make them excited.

When the good scripts in his head run out and Netflix reaches a certain scale, it will inevitably decline if it does not transform. Suri will only continue to reduce his holdings and cash out until he completely runs away.

The biggest advantage of Netflix Entertainment is its self-produced dramas. Once the good dramas are finished, there is no need for Suri to stay.

Let’s look at the electric vehicle market.

It is much larger than the online TV market, and it is worth spending more money to get into it.

The ceiling heights of various industries are different. From the market scale analysis, if the limit of Netflix Entertainment is about 200 billion US dollars, the electric vehicle industry can cultivate a giant with a market value of one trillion US dollars.

So Suri invested in Tesla and Apple without thinking about continuing to negotiate with the board of directors and increasing his holdings in Netflix Entertainment.

If you become the largest shareholder, you will be in trouble if you want to run away. If you reduce your holdings in the future, it will attract more attention and it will easily crash the stock price...

Going out in mid-May.

Take Daddario and Yuko Hoshino on a self-driving trip to the Grand Canyon in Nevada next door in a million-dollar luxury RV.

Camp, picnic, hike and enjoy the bright starry sky in the wild.

Then went to Las Vegas.

Lost $310,000 on the first day.

Lost $160,000 the next day.

Lost $220,000 on the third day.

Thinking that he could only do three things, the good opportunity to make a profit finally arrived. On the fourth day, he lost a total of 500,000 US dollars in chips.

It’s a painful lesson... Gambling is really harmful to people.

Just a little gambling for fun.

During the vacation, Facebook's stock price rose for four consecutive trading days, and its book wealth soared by more than 50 million U.S. dollars. I don't know why, Suri was still a little melancholy, feeling sorry for the more than one million U.S. dollars.

Fortunately, when he checked out, the shareholder of the Caesars Palace Casino Hotel where he stayed personally gave him a box of Black Dragon cigars from the Dominican Republic.

The market price is as high as 115,000 US dollars, and there are a total of 100 sticks in the box. I hope to leave a good impression on Suri and make him come more often.

Including the money lost, it equals more than 10,000 US dollars per cigar. Thinking about it this way, I feel much better... It must be very lonely to smoke.

Smoking a cigar on the way back, Su Rui silently lamented that he would be sworn in with gambling and drug addiction unless he invested in a casino.

pity.

Hawaii does not allow casinos to be built, otherwise the value of Lanai Island could increase several times...

Returning home from vacation.

The final episode of the first season of "The Walking Dead" aired last night. After the appearance of the Big Boss played by Suri himself, the audience immediately went into a frenzy.

Just like Suri wanted to see.

The curiosity of these movie fans was aroused, and they speculated that the origin of the zombies may not be simple, and there is a huge conspiracy behind it.

Therefore, Suri has once again become a trending topic on Facebook.

Although he only appeared for a short time, it was as if he was the protagonist, and relevant news was accompanied by screenshots of Suri.

Many viewers were too lazy to follow the show. After learning that the first season of "The Walking Dead" was over, they started to recharge their memberships and wanted to watch it all at once.

Some people thought wittily that if someone else has recharged their membership for five months, they can watch the entire show after recharging for just one month. This is a huge profit.

I accidentally fell into a new trap because I was trying to watch the third episode of "Prison Break".

With the news of the completion, the number of paying members of Netflix Entertainment has increased sharply in a short period of time. It will take two months to see how many members "Prison Break" and "The Vampire Diaries" can retain.

In this case, Suri received a call from Shark O'Neal.

O'Neill was on the other end of the phone and said in a rough voice:

"I just played a round of golf with Mr. Chris Cohan, the owner of the Warriors. He said that he spent $119 million to buy the Warriors in 1995 and missed many opportunities. The final offer was 4 19 million US dollars, he won’t sell it below this figure, I think it’s quite appropriate.”

Suri thought.

If he said he wouldn't buy it now, would O'Neal, who had been busy running around for half a month for this deal, rush to Hollywood and beat himself up?

This guy can even dunk the rim, his explosiveness is no joke.

In fact, the last quotation of US$450 million was already relatively reasonable, and now the price has been reduced by US$31 million, which is a pretty good value for money.

Suri is going to use the Warriors' shares as a pledge and ask the bank to help pay for it. This means that he only needs to pay a little interest to become the owner of a team.

If we continue to push hard, other wealthy people may not be able to resist taking action, especially since San Francisco is so close to Silicon Valley.

For people like Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, buying an NBA team is almost like buying cabbage. There is no pressure at all. It's just a matter of whether you want to or not. It's just a matter of taking action...
