Hollywood Starts with Animation

Burbank villa.

It is already around 8 o'clock in the evening, and Zucker and his little girlfriend Lima have just enjoyed a sumptuous candlelight dinner. The two hugged each other on the sofa, watching TV shows.

"My dear, I'm going to Europe tomorrow, you must remember to call me every day." Lima said rather reluctantly.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke kissed her forehead and smiled: "Don't worry, no matter how busy I am, I will remember to call you. You know my character."

"Yeah." Lima nodded.

Character?

What is that? !

In fact, strictly speaking, Zhu Ke's character is not bad, except that he is a bit stingy and cheated on Jessica Chastain for a long time, he really has no bad habits.

"My dear, if... I said if you can, you can give up the modeling industry. You know my financial resources are enough for the two of us to live a good life."

It took quite a while for Zucker and Lima to recognize their relationship.

If at the beginning, Zhu Ke pursued Lima for the reasons of "greedy body" and "top ten supermodels in the early 21st century", then after getting along for a long time, everyone will have feelings.

Zucker was reluctant to let her continue in the "modeling" industry.

After all, the chaos and scandals in the modeling circle are even more appalling than those in the entertainment circle!

Lima shook his head: "Dear, you know, walking on the runway is my profession, and it is my long-standing dream. I like to walk beside you, not behind you."

"You have to be in the limelight, you can be in Hollywood, not a model, you know I have this energy."

Zucker's tone was very positive.

Although he is not a predator or an oligarch, he still has the ability to promote a person to become popular in Hollywood.

model?

All the attention?

Zucker shook his head, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Of course, this is not a disdain for the model, but I can't help but think of the "Victory's Secret" brand that will almost collapse in the future, especially in 2020, it will be trampled on by countless people.

Victoria's Secret, a brand that once made many people around the world crazy,

It peaked in 2015 with a market value of nearly $30 billion.

In terms of marketing, Wei Mi has never spared money, TV commercials, magazines, celebrity endorsements, etc., and the most successful one is the annual show that began in 1995.

At the Victoria's Secret show in 2000, the dream bra worn by Gisele Bundchen at the finale was bought for a high price of 15 million US dollars. So far, the famous brand of Victoria's Secret has become popular all over the world.

Models all over the world even take it as a supreme honor to be a contracted model of Victoria's Secret.

But......

In the future... Victoria's Secret falls to the bottom!

The Victoria's Secret Show was suspended in 2019.

From 2016 to 2109, Victoria's Secret's stores around the world continued to close stores due to the continuous decline in turnover. Well, at least dozens of stores are closed every year.

Product quality problems, suppression by peers, scandals, etc., make it constantly questioned by the world.

At the end of 2019, hundreds of Victoria's Secret models jointly issued a statement saying that they had been harassed again and again by the unspoken rules of the Victoria's Secret boss, and the incident even detonated the world.

The wall is knocked down!

The market value of Victoria's Secret has fallen wildly.

From its peak market value of nearly $30 billion in 2015, by 2020, its valuation will be less than $1.1 billion.

To put it bluntly, Wei Mi is a platform for marketing hype. Once it loses market recognition and consumer trust,

Then it is nothing!

"Okay, dear, don't think about that."

Lima buckled Zhu Ke and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the chaos in the modeling circle. I don't have you as the backstage."

Zhu Ke thought about it, it really is.

......

the next day.

Early in the morning, Zucker drove Lima to the airport and boarded a flight to Europe.

"Boss, where are we going now? Are we going home or going to the company?"

The bodyguard Sun Lei asked.

Hearing this, Zhu Ke shook his head and said, "I don't go home or go to the company. I have an appointment today."

"Oh? Miss Chastain?" Sun Lei teased.

Zu Ke's old face instantly turned black.

You can hide your own scandal from other people, but you can't hide it from your own bodyguards!

"fart!"

Zu Ke laughed and scolded: "The person I dated today is not a woman, but a man, an old man!"

...

some coffee shop.

At around 10 a.m., Zucker had a cordial exchange with a man in his 30s in the cafe.

His name is Jeff Weiner!

When it comes to this name, no one knew it in the 1990s, but it is quite well-known when it comes to Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn, who started in 2009.

LinkedIn was founded in 2003. Even after several years of development, it has gained a little status in the Internet field, and its market value has soared to $1 billion. Looking at the global Internet field, it is still just a younger brother. However, it is the man Jeff Weiner, with his precise vision and excellent ability, who has brought LinkedIn into glory in one fell swoop!

Job placement and online recruitment have once become buzzwords on the Internet!

Jeff Weiner's efforts have made LinkedIn's market value continue to climb.

In 2016, Microsoft paid $26.2 billion for LinkedIn.

"Mr. Jeff, I sincerely invite you to serve as the CEO of LinkedIn," Zu Ke said solemnly.

"I need to think about it, you know, Mr. Wald." Weiner hesitated.

Zucker nodded.

Again: "As long as you're willing to be the CEO of LinkedIn, your annual salary starts at $300,000, and after that, regardless of LinkedIn's performance, your annual salary will increase at a rate of 20% per year for the next 5 years. At the same time, after the five-year contract ends, as long as you are willing to sign the contract again, I will give you dividends in the company's shares and permanent option rewards."

High annual salary!

Share dividends!

Option Bonus!

A series of triple blows directly crushed Weiner's indecision.

No one can stand sugar-coated shells like this!

Finally, he agreed!

Three days later, LinkedIn was officially launched in Silicon Valley, with Jeff Weiner as CEO. At the same time, Zucker injected a one-time $5 million into the new company, LinkedIn, for the initial development of the company.

"What is money?!"

"$5 million is just my upfront investment in LinkedIn."

"After the LinkedIn website and the employer's information have been retrieved, I will inject another $10 million into the company."

Zucker is full of local tyrants!

LinkedIn's online recruitment does not have any technical content at all, and it is all about market share. As long as it attracts enough employers and user groups, it is very easy to make money.

It is also because of the characteristics of "low technical content" that Zhu Ke chose LinkedIn as the first step for his Internet business.

" "The first more is sent.
