Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

And how much money are you really going to save?

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

Right.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

And so that analysis doesn't get you there.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

You need something more fundamental.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

And usually it's related to power or something like that.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

Well, I'll add something to that, which is that the cost of that revenue is favorable.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

So think of Disney.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

So think of getting Lucas and Cameron's stuff and... Marvel.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

Oh, wow.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

Marvel is incredible.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

You know, Ivor created a huge amount of corporate value by doing those things and Pixar.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

And that had to do with...

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

him taking franchises, like LVMH was taking powerful brands that weren't fully exploited and figuring out how to economically exploit them, right?

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

And Disney was taking branded entertainment that was powerful and being able to fully exploit it.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

And so it answered the question, why is this worth more to me?

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

So you could take Star Wars stuff, which you sort of had the feeling George Lucas kind of

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

wasn't so interesting to sort of exploit it.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

He was kind of a creative genius, right?

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

And yet Disney could take it and run with it.

Acquired
Interview: Hamilton Helmer & Chenyi Shi on How to Build an AWS-Like Second Business

And so I think that wasn't that you bought revenue that already existed.
