Chapter 2089 2091【Luck】

In December [-], Xiang Nan helped Universal Pictures finalize the filming plan for the new year.

《死侍2》、《毒液》、《神奇动物在哪里4》、《黑寡妇2》、《超凡蜘蛛侠3》、《奇异博士2》、《神奇四侠》、《爱乐之城》和《速度与激情8》。

In January, after review by new chairman Byron Howard, the projects were finalized.

Xiang Nan then joined the Fast and Furious crew for filming.

In January, the news of the epidemic appeared, but most people outside the mainland didn't care about it, thinking that it was just like the SARS in [-], it was only endemic in Asian countries, and it would be fine after a while.

So when they see the strict defense in the mainland, they all feel that making a fuss out of a molehill has nothing to do with them, and no one takes it seriously.

Xiang Nan was very aware of the dangers of this incident, so he specifically reminded Cong Shan, Shanshan, Tranquility, Ning Jian and others to be careful, to disinfect when entering and leaving, to wear a mask, and not to go to crowded areas unless necessary.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome in case of infection.

Although with their financial resources, medical treatment is not a problem, but suffering is certain.Moreover, in case of sequelae, it is a matter of a lifetime.

Xiang Nan has always been well-targeted, speaks his mind, and is deeply trusted by his family, so although he feels that he is making a fuss out of a molehill, everyone still listens to his advice.

But in the fast-paced crew, not everyone is obedient, and it is not realistic for everyone to wear a mask.After all, when filming or eating, you still have to take it off.

Xiang Nan can only strengthen his own defenses, wear a mask when he is not filming, eat alone when eating, and try to avoid close contact.

……

Busy until April, Xiang Nan's role has been wrapped, and he quit the Furious 8 crew early.

At this time, the epidemic situation in the mainland has also temporarily come to an end, but internationally, the epidemic situation has begun to spread rapidly.

Xiang Nan took the time to return to Xiangjiang, and then stayed at home with Cong Shan, Shanshan, Ning Jian and others.

In the following months, the number of people infected by the epidemic increased, and the situation became more and more severe.

At this time, Cong Shan, Shanshan and the others understood why Xiang Nan was facing an enemy from the very beginning.

With the spread of the epidemic, movie theaters around the world have been closed one after another, and the film industry has been severely impacted.Universal Pictures' revenue in the second quarter fell by [-]%, and the box office of many films fell short of expectations.

Reflected in the stock market, the stock price fell by [-]%.Investors all believe that Universal Pictures loses Xiangnan's seat, the future is worrying, and they lack confidence in its future.

In comparison, because of the epidemic, more people are staying at home.Online streaming media platforms are becoming more and more popular, and the number of subscribers has increased significantly.

In 6000, Netflix had [-] million subscribers.By [-], the number of subscribers will have risen to more than [-] million, and within a year, the number of users has increased by [-]%.

The number of visits to YouTube has also increased greatly, which has increased by nearly 2000% compared with the previous one.As a result, the stock prices of the two listed companies have soared, reaching more than [-] billion US dollars.

Seeing this, many investors admire Xiang Nan's luck.

Before the epidemic, he sold Universal, and he sold it at a very good price.Now that the streaming media is on fire, his previous investment has a higher return.

Really lucky!
……

In the next few months, Xiang Nan made rumors that he wanted to transfer YouTube, and in addition, let go of Netflix's stock.

What he did surprised the outside world.Because with the spread of the epidemic, more and more people are forced to stay at home, which makes the stock prices of YOUTUBE and NETFLIX soar.

And the epidemic is far from over, so the stock prices of the two companies will definitely rise.Under such circumstances, Xiang Nan actually wanted to make a move. He really sold a chicken that lays golden eggs.

"Husband, do you really want to sell it?" Cong Shan asked puzzled, "I read the report, the stock price will go up."

Xiang Nan nodded, "The stock price will indeed rise again. But the epidemic will always end. According to my estimation, most countries in the world will open it up in half a year at most. After all, if it continues to be closed, the economy will not be able to bear it.

At that time, the growth rate of these streaming media will definitely slow down, and may even go backwards, and the stock price will naturally not remain at a high level.So now is the right time to sell. "

Hearing what he said, Cong Shan suddenly realized.

……

Subsequently, a number of consortiums hoped to acquire YouTube and Netflix, and finally Google bought 500% of YouTube shares at a sky-high price of US$[-] billion.

The reason why Google acquired YouTube is mainly for the consideration of drainage. With 40 billion visits per day, YouTube is the second largest website in the world after Google.

If Google acquires it, not only can it take the express train of streaming media, but it can also attribute YouTube's traffic to Google.

In this way, the daily visits to Google's website have nearly doubled, and its advertising revenue can even increase exponentially.

In fact, in the real world, YouTube was acquired by Google.At that time, YouTube had just been established for more than a year, and Google had already taken a fancy to its potential and bought it wholly for $16 billion.

However, Xiang Nan made a move earlier than them. He had already bought YouTube only half a year after its establishment.It only cost 500 million U.S. dollars at the time, but now it has sold for [-] billion U.S. dollars, not counting the money earned by Xiangnan from the previous listing.

In 15 years, the investment has doubled by 750 times.Such an astonishing rate of return is beyond the reach of Wall Street and admires it.

And Microsoft also bought 600% of NETFIIX's shares at a price of US$[-] billion.

It turns out that Microsoft, like Sony and Apple, has the idea of ​​building a home entertainment empire. For this reason, it launched XBOX as early as [-]. XBOX is not only for playing games, but also for exercising, watching videos, and enjoying music. It is a very good hardware device.

With hardware, you need software support.

Therefore, Microsoft has been acquiring over the years, such as the full-effect studio of "Age of Empires", the Lionhead studio of "Fable", ZENIMAX of "The Elder Scrolls", Activision Blizzard of "Call of Duty" and "World of Warcraft" wait.

The reason why Microsoft acquired [-]% of Netflix’s shares today is to strengthen XBOX’s online video resources.Microsoft and Netflix have teamed up, and users can watch online videos on computers and Xbox without leaving home, which is also a big business opportunity for Microsoft.

……

After selling YouTube and Netflix, Xiang Nan has more than 3000 billion US dollars in cash. Even if taxes are deducted, there will be more than 2000 billion US dollars left, which can be called a huge amount.

With so much money, Xiang Nan didn't invest it anymore, but kept it in the bank to earn interest, and donated it out one after another.

Tranquility and Ningjian both have a trust fund of 50 billion US dollars, which is enough for a lifetime, and Xiang Nan is not going to leave them too much money.

If they can do it themselves, they don't need to rely on their parents to support them.If they don't have the ability, give them money, and they won't be able to save it.
