Italy was still cold in January, but Brazil was sunny, but Kaka failed to enjoy the sun and beaches while taking advantage of the good times, but rushed to the United States.

In his business territory, North America is the most important and most important part.

Traditional industries, such as General Electric, oil, insurance, media and finance, have long been divided up. Not to mention outsiders like Kaka, it is difficult for real capital tycoons to grab food from other people's bowls.

In contrast, some emerging industries that are not fully valued are real opportunities, especially the Internet industry.

A magical industry with far more freedom than any circle and creating countless wealth myths.

Even if you are not proficient and understand the Internet, you should know that this is an industry that can change the world in the future. Even the most conservative traditional groups have to make changes to adapt to this industry either actively or passively.

Not changing means destruction.

Kaka does not have the ambition to become the richest man in a certain country. She just wants to exchange the little wealth he has accumulated and his advanced vision in this craze to earn a little bit of the cake, realize financial freedom, and achieve the level of playing with private jets and luxury yachts as toys.

And now, the opportunity has come.

Technology stocks unexpectedly fell across the board in 2001, and the US stock market fell even more severely after the catalysis of 9.11. In 2002, major stock indexes tried to raise their heads several times, but eventually returned to nothing and fell sadly.

This year is the best time to enter, and the first choice is naturally Apple.

In the past few years, Apple was deeply trapped in the quagmire, and many people wanted to get out. After Steve Jobs returned to Apple, he not only accepted Bill Gates' investment, but also actively raised funds from outside.

Kaka remembers that right, in 2003, Apple's stock price fell from $36 per share to $12, and then Jobs, the man who saved Apple, sold 55 million shares worth tens of billions of dollars later.

The lowest plunge per share to around $7.

Can you imagine the $7 Apple?

Apple's most important product in 2003 was the iPod. Only those who bought Apple MAC computers could use this MP3 player. Therefore, only about 3% of the iPod users in this market. However, Apple was developing another version of iPod, which is compatible with ordinary PC computers. After the launch, users accounted for 97% of the computer market in one fell swoop.

Because of this epoch-making product, Apple's stock will at least double at the latest next year, and the company will gradually become a technology giant known to the world. Since its low in 2003, its stock has risen to more than $200.

Steve Jobs is an absolute talent. Apart from himself, he obviously doesn't want anyone to become bigger in Apple. However, Kaka does not have the unrealistic idea of ​​controlling an Internet group, and he does not think he can do better than Jobs.

Lao Qiao eats meat and he drinks soup, it’s that simple.

So Apple is definitely the best investment target now, and Kaka's profits have almost been invested in Apple during this period.

But he has always been behind the scenes in this regard, and Silva is the one who is in charge of the operation. This guy is an old fry on Wall Street and is obviously more familiar with the various tricks than Kaka. Although he doesn't know why Kaka is so optimistic about such a technology company that looks half-dead, he still bought a large amount of Apple stocks under the insistence of the boss.

But Kaka went to the United States not for Apple, but for Facebook.

He initially wanted to find Zuckerberg to invest, but after investigation, he found out that the so-called Facebook is actually not very technically difficult.

What’s important is that when the first person to eat, then there is only business planning.

In this case, I won’t do it myself…

Although he knows the general development history of Facebook and knows that many functional creativity that will be popular on the entire network in the future, Kaka still understands the truth that he goes too fast and is light, so he does not make a big fuss, but like the development of Facebook in his previous life, it develops in a low-key manner and develops vulgarly, starting from the campus route.

The founder of Facebook is Mark Zuckerberg, a student at Harvard University. Facebook started out as a company, and then the registration scope gradually expanded to other universities in the Boston area. Later, the MIT, Tefots University, Rochester University, New York University, Northwestern University and other famous universities all contributed assistance, turning this instant sharing website that looks sparse in the future and is very creative and sparse in the future into an Internet celebrity company in the United States.

However, Kaka did not choose Harvard but Wharton this time, not to avoid a collision with Zuckerberg, but because this is Silva's alma mater, and with his connections here, this road will undoubtedly be smoother.

Walton is known as the birthplace of modern MBA and is one of the eight famous Ivy League schools in the United States. Its influence is no worse than Harvard. It is definitely qualified to be the birthplace of Facebook.

It’s just because he bought a lot of Apple stocks, Kaka’s current funds are insufficient. Although the development of the website has almost been completed, it still requires a large amount of capital investment in the future, which is not something he can afford with AC Milan.

Facebook at Harvard should be launched around 2004, and Kaka only has about one year advantage. If he cannot quickly occupy the market during this period, he will face the powerful challenge of Zuckerberg in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is the United States, and he is a Brazilian, so it is imperative to find an American partner.

Silva is top-notch in efficiency and has found a suitable candidate, but he, the boss, also needs to interview and make a decision in person.

United States, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Silva went to the airport to pick him up again.

"I look good, boss."

"You're not bad," Kaka pulled the seat belt, "It looks like American girls are very enthusiastic, huh?"

"No, no, no, I still like Brazilian girls," Silva launched his Cadillac. "By the way, when it comes to this, I'd better explain it to you first, don't make it embarrassing tomorrow."

"ha?"

"Well, it's just a meeting tomorrow, and the other party may be different from what you think."

"Isn't it your alumni?" Kaka's face showed a bad smile. "Is it yours... well, what?"

"How is that possible?" said Silva. "He is a few years younger than me and is now studying for an economics degree at Wharton. What I said is different, and it means... Forget it, I will know when I see it. It is better to maintain a little mystery. I am still looking forward to your expression."

"Yo? There are still people in the United States who can scare me?"

As a result, Kaka was really scared the next day.

Silva was very satisfied with Kaka's expression, but he naively thought that what scared Kaka was the other person's beauty and 1.8 meters tall.

"Hello, Ricardo Kaka, you can call me Kaka."

"Hello, Mr. Kaka, I am Ivanka, Ivanka ***."

Comrade Chuan Jianguo, who has made great contributions in every aspect, is surprisingly reliable in raising his daughter. He only provides sufficient living and education expenses. Ivanka has to work since he was a child and earn pocket money, and even pays the phone bills himself. After graduating from high school, he went to Georgetown University to study, and two years later he transferred to his father's alma mater, Wharton.

This is a real strong woman. It is of course nonsense to say that she doesn't rely on her family at all, but her investment vision is really awesome. When Silva first started to invest, she paid attention to it and was very optimistic about the instant sharing website, so this meeting was met.

"Sorry, Mr. Kaka, I feel that you have a familiar face. Have we seen it somewhere?" Ivanka's frightened level was obviously not smaller than Kaka.

He never thought that the big boss behind Silva was actually a handsome man who looked like he was.

The rich second generation in South America? It's indeed a bit like Haha.

"I've come to the United States for the first time, and you probably met me on TV," Kaka said. "I'm a football player."

Silva quickly provided an assist, "Brazil won the World Cup last year. Kaka is the main player and the youngest player in that World Cup. Now he plays for the AC Milan team in Italy. It is one of the best football clubs in the world."

"So that's it," Ivanka smiled, "Sorry, I don't pay much attention to football."

"Nothing, just like I don't watch football, understandable."

"So, can you tell me specifically? Your instant sharing website project."

"Does Miss *** know about the Internet?"

"We definitely can't say that we have a professional understanding, but we have indeed conducted surveys on the Internet market. I think our views on this aspect should be consistent. I think the Internet will bring about a global revolution."

“But now many Internet companies are going bankrupt.”

"That's only temporary," Ivanka said. "I think the Internet industry has ushered in the opportunity to take off..."

The tone of the description of Ivanka on the Internet in the previous life is beautiful, capable, capable and charming, a good husband, a good child, a good family background, except for the father, he is a 25-year-old winner, and he is finished.

In Kaka's opinion, these things are very superficial and are basically spliced ​​with second-hand Chinese materials. It is obviously unrealistic to know someone through those things. However, after real contact, I found that this American girl is quite easy to get along with. In addition to the inevitable lack of human fireworks and why not eat meat, there are not so many bad habits that make people sick.

They are also businesswomen, Kardashian, Hilton, etc., but they are not the same magnitude in front of Ivanka.

In addition, the other party's investment requirements are not excessive. After a bargaining, the tone of cooperation has been basically set. Of course, it is just an oral agreement. Commercial investment is very complicated and cannot be achieved by just a few conversations. There are still many details to be discussed. Perhaps a seemingly insignificant clause in the contract can ruin a commercial cooperation.
