Now the sales volume of DVD players is only more than 500,000 in a year. What if this number becomes one million, two million, or even more?

As long as Netflix develops step by step, it is very likely to occupy an absolute dominant position in the content supply field of DVD standard industry content.

In this industry of tens of billions of dollars, Netflix has great potential to dominate the entire track with its unique business model. Those sensitive investment companies naturally cannot miss such a company.

But Tao Yushu was not dazzling by the olive branches extended by these investment companies, but rationally selected partners who could work hand in hand with Netflix in the future.

In a Series B financing of US$1.2 billion, Netflix released 15% of its equity, and the financing scale reached US$180 million.

After experiencing hundreds of millions of dollars in money-burning marketing, Netflix's development has entered the fast lane. It is unlikely that it will need to burn money like before in a short period of time. These funds are enough for Netflix to support it without financing.

The three investors who are able to raise the B round of financing are Tao Yu who lacks the public selection.

Soning's investment is to consolidate the cooperative relationship between the two parties and form an indivisible chain of interests in Hollywood. In this way, the two companies have enough confidence when facing the aggressiveness of Hollywood giants.

Sigebo's investment was because Tao Yu didn't like their streaming technology. Sigebo founder Alex Balkanski introduced that DVD standards were destined to be eliminated.

Tao Yu did not recognize his views, but the development of things could not be achieved at once. The important thing is to follow the trend.

In fact, Alex, you, Balkansky, feels incredible about the growth rate of Netflix, like a rocket. It is true that he is a scholar, but he is a pricey person.

So after Tao Yu didn't show his intention to cooperate, he turned to Netflix without any hesitation.

As for Universal Pictures' investment, of course, it is to win over more allies in Hollywood and pave the way for Lin's Film's future development in the United States and even Western countries.

After completing the B round of financing, Tao Yuwei can finally temporarily withdraw Jingsan from Netflix and put more thoughts on other industries of Qibu.

She had just returned to Xiangjiang these two days. Through the news of Mingpao Enterprise, she heard that the thief Zhang Ziqiang, who kidnapped Li Ka-shing's eldest son, seemed to be looking for a new prey of a rich man, and her heart was full of worries.

The illegal people in Xiangjiang have a tradition of tied up the rich and extorted money.

In May last year, Li Ka-shing's eldest son, Li Zeju, was kidnapped by the bandit Zhang Ziqiang on his way to work, and finally paid HK$1.038 billion to get peace.

After succeeding, Zhang Ziqiang re-used the same trick. Kang kidnapped Sun Hung Kai's Guo Bingxiang in September and successfully extorted HK$600 million.

He successfully kidnapped twice in a row and ransomed the rich. Many people thought that Zhang Ziqiang would have to eliminate the key for at least a period of time.

Or if greed is satisfied, he will retreat from the world from then on.

As a result, no one expected that Zhang Ziqiang would actually plan to kidnap the Hong Kong Government Secretary for Administration at the beginning of this year. After the plan was exposed, Zhang Ziqiang was still at large, so that everyone in the circle of top wealthy people in Xiangjiang was in danger.

"Return is imminent, Aka is so arrogant."

"I guess it's because the return is about to come back, I'll have to make a few big hits in the end."

"These police are really unreasonable. They can actually let such criminals stay away from justice for so long."

On the phone, Tao Yuwei was not only worried, but also dissatisfied with the Xiangjiang police.

"I think A is asking the children to go back to Yanjing," she said.

In recent years, the couple Wu attaches great importance to the security work of their families and spends millions of dollars every year to raise a security team of nearly 30 people.

But the security team of the Li family is not weaker than theirs. A is also taken advantage of by Zhang Ziqiang?

There are so many top wealthy people in Xiangjiang, and the Li and Guo families suffered one after another. Tao Yuwei didn't believe that thieves like Zhang Ziqiang had never thought about their family.

Tao Yuwei knew very well that he could only be a thief for a thousand days, but there was no reason to be a thief for a thousand days.

"Xiangjiang's career has been solid for so many years. I think you don't need to stay there any longer,

Just go there every once in a while. Anyway, most of your spiritual threes have been overseas in recent years.” Lin Chaoyang advised.

After thinking for a moment, Tao Yuwei said, "Let the children go back first. In the past two years, I will stay here for some time every year. Let's talk about it after returning."

"So good."

The couple decided to transfer their focus from Xiangjiang to Yanjing after a few words. For them, who are now rich, this is certainly not a problem.

A week later, Tao Yuwei took a chartered flight to Yanjing Capital Airport.

Du Feng, who received the news early, transferred three cargo volumes to help Tao Yuwei move. As soon as he met, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Sister, I heard from my brother-in-law that you will go back to Yanjing in the future?

D

"It's the child who returns. I'm busy running around all day, so where can I be quiet?"

Du Feng joked: "If you make enough money, just take a break. If you don't make money, you will almost become the richest man in Asia."

His words were a bit exaggerated, but not entirely exaggerated.

Stimulated by the economic overheating in the past year, the Hang Seng Index made rapid progress and successfully broke through the 16,000-point mark.

After helping Mikazojiang become the fourth largest financial center in the world after New York, London and Tokyo.

The surge in the market does not mean that all stocks will surge, but the stocks with excellent performance will naturally lead the way.

Several companies that have not had any flags in Tao Yu have been "top students" in the Hang Seng Index for many years. Their growth has been astonishing over the past year, and their total market value has approached 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, the sharp rise in the stock prices of these companies is not only because of the market, but also because of their own strong real-life.

In recent years, the Hong Kong film market has shown a sluggish momentum, which has not affected Lin's Film's performance at all. Instead, its performance has flourished due to the success of overseas market layout.

In March, three Hong Kong-listed companies that lacked Tao Yu's flag were released successively, and Lin's Film's annual revenue increased by 100 million US dollars, reaching US$1.85 billion and net profit of US$375 million.

Among them, Greater China's revenue was US$280 million and overseas revenue was US$1.57 billion, accounting for 1 to 84.9%, fully demonstrating the success of its overseas strategy.

It is worth noting that Lin's theater revenue increased by 25% year-on-year, which is naturally due to the success of theater layout.

Once the financial report was announced, Lin's Pictures stock rose 6.4%, helping Lin's Pictures market value to HK$45 billion.

The Bubble Universe, which is under the control of Tao Yumo, has a more eye-catching financial report than Lin's Pictures.

Throughout 1996, the overall revenue of Bubble Universe exceeded HK$5 billion, the company's original comics,

The performance growth of the three major business segments of animation and games is flat.

The most outstanding performance is Pop Ma Price, which Tao Yumo has invested the most energy in the past two years. The business has been one step almost every year in the past three years.

Currently, 56 flagship stores have been opened in 12 countries around the world, creating 21.5 for Bubble Universe last year.

The revenue of HK$100 million and the gross profit margin reached 83%, making it the largest business with Bubble Universe's revenue scale.

Faced with the strong performance of Pop Ma Price in the global ACG market, Xiangjiang Securities Institutions estimated that the financial performance of Bubble Universe will grow rapidly in less than a few years, and will help Xiangjiang pop culture to move internationally.

At the end of March, the market value of Bubble Universe reached HK$27.6 billion.

In less than two years, the market value of Bubble Universe has achieved a triple jump, and the latter has taken the lead and surpassed Mingpao Company. One important reason is that it has 44.3% of the shares of Pixar Animation, a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange.

Pixar Animation was listed in January 1997 and its current market value is stable at around US$2.3 billion. The shares controlled by Bubble Universe are worth US$1 billion.

Compared with the individual development of Lin's Pictures and Bubble Universe, Mingpao Enterprise is much more lonely.

Since 1995, the competition in the newspaper industry in Xiangjiang has entered a fierce stage. Although Mingpao companies are still the undisputed leader in the newspaper industry, their momentum has become much weaker now as print media continues to decline.

The current market value is only HK$14.6 billion. One of the reasons is that it holds 40% of the equity of Star TV, the largest price-industry satellite TV station in Asia.

According to estimates from an authoritative advertising company in Xiangjiang, once Star TV is listed, its market value starts at least HK$15 billion. A considerable part of the market value of Lin's Pictures and Mingpao companies is supported by Star TV.

Affected by the rapid growth of market value of few listed companies in the banner, Tao Yuwei and Lin Chaoyang, their wealth has experienced a round of soaring growth.

Based on the current market value, the value of the Hong Kong-listed companies held by Mr. Wu is more than HK$50 billion. If other financial assets are included, the total assets are conservatively estimated to exceed HK$60 billion.

It is firmly ranked first in the wealthy class in Xiangjiang, and it is the top 10 in Asia.

However, due to industry reasons, the wealth that the couple possesses is more paper wealth. Compared with the wealthy people engaged in real estate and people's livelihood related industries such as Li Ka-shing, Guo Bingxiang, and Li Ka-kye, the scale of funds that can be used is much smaller.

It is also based on this that before and after the financial reports of several listed companies were announced this year, Tao Yuwei once again announced his shareholding reduction plan.

According to the share reduction plan, Tao Yuwei will gradually reduce its holdings of three listed companies by 3 to 5% within less than three months.
