Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 75 Creating a LinkedIn Company

Burbank's villa.

It was already around 8 o'clock in the evening. Zhu Ke and his little girlfriend Lima had just enjoyed a hearty candlelight dinner.The two hug each other on the sofa and watch TV programs.

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

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

"Yeah." Lima nodded.

Character?

What is that stuff?!

In fact, strictly speaking, Zhuke's character is quite good. Apart from being a bit stingy and cheating on Jessica Chastain for a long time, he really has no bad habits.

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

It has been a long time since Zhuke and Lima realized the definite relationship.

If at the beginning, Zhuke pursued Lima because of his "hungry" and "top ten supermodels in the early 21st century", then people will have feelings after getting along for a long time.

Zhu Ke is reluctant to let her continue in the "modeling" industry.

After all, the chaos and scandals in the modeling world are even more shocking than the entertainment industry!

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

"You have to be eye-catching, you can be in Hollywood, not a model, you know I have this energy."

Zhuke's tone was very positive.

Although I am not a big crocodile or oligarch now, I still have this ability to promote a person's popularity in Hollywood.

Model?

Highly anticipated?

Zhuke shook his head, a trace of contempt in his eyes.

Of course, this is not disdain for models, but can't help but think of the "Vimi" brand that will almost collapse in the future, especially in 2020, it will be stepped on by countless people.

Victoria's Secret, a brand that has driven so many people around the world crazy,

It reached its peak in 2015, with a market value of nearly US$30 billion.

In terms of marketing, Victoria's Secret has never hesitated to spend money, TV commercials, magazines, celebrity endorsements, etc., and the most successful one is the annual show since 1995.

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

Models all over the world even regard being Victoria's Secret's contracted models as a supreme honor.

but......

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

The Victoria's Secret Show announced its suspension in 2019.

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

Product quality problems, suppression by peers, scandals that broke out, etc., have made it constantly questioned by the world.

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

The wall fell and everyone pushed!

Victoria's Secret's market value has dropped crazily.

From its peak market value of nearly 30 billion U.S. dollars in 2015, by 2020, its valuation is only less than 1.1 billion U.S. dollars left.

To put it bluntly, Victoria's Secret is a platform for marketing and speculation. Once it loses market recognition and consumer trust, it is nothing!

"Well, honey, don't think about it anymore."

Lima buckled Zhuke and said with a smile: "No matter how chaotic the model circle is, I am not afraid. I have you as the backstage."

Zhu Ke thought, really.

.......

the next day.

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

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

Asked the bodyguard Sun Lei.

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

"Oh? Is it Miss Chastain?" Sun Lei teased.

Zhu Ke's old face turned black in an instant.

That bit of my own scandal can be concealed from other people, but my bodyguard can't be concealed!

"fart!"

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

...

A coffee shop.

At about 10 in the morning, Zhuke had a cordial exchange with a man about 30 years old in the cafe.

His name is Jeff Weiner!

Mention this name, no one knew it in the 1990s, but when it was mentioned that Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn, started in 2009, he was quite well-known.

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

Employment agencies and online recruitment have once become buzzwords on the Internet!

Jeff Weiner's efforts have allowed LinkedIn's market value to continue to rise.

In 2016, Microsoft paid $26.2 billion for this in order to get LinkedIn.

"Mr. Jeff, I sincerely invite you to be the CEO of LinkedIn." Zhu Ke solemnly said.

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

Zhuke nodded.

Say again: "As long as you are willing to serve as the CEO of LinkedIn, your annual salary will start at $300,000. After that, regardless of the performance of LinkedIn, your annual salary will increase by 20% every year for the next 5 years. At the same time, after the five-year contract is over, as long as you are willing to sign the contract again, I will give you the company’s share dividends and permanent option rewards."

High annual salary!

Share dividends!

Option rewards!

A series of three heavy blows directly defeated Weiner's indecision.

No one can stand such sugar-coated shells!

In the end, he agreed!

Three days later, LinkedIn was formally established in Silicon Valley with Jeff Weiner as CEO.At the same time, Zhu Ke injected 5 million US dollars into the new company LinkedIn for the initial development of the company.

"What is money?!"

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

"After searching the information on the LinkedIn website and the employer, I will once again inject US$10 million into the company."

Zhu Ke is full of local tyrants!

LinkedIn’s online recruitment does not have any technical content. It only plays with market share. As long as it attracts enough employers and user groups, it is very easy to make money.

It is also due to the characteristics of "low technology content" that Zhu Ke chose LinkedIn as his first step in the Internet business.
