Carlos Slim Helú

When Michael Eisner took over the Walt Disney Company, one of the successes he had was the VHS tapes and DVDs of old movies. He had this library of movies that was just sitting there when people first got VCRs. He had assets.

Carlos Slim: That’s been done many times. Howard Hughes did it when he bought RKO. The value of RKO was its movie library, because TV was beginning, and they began to look again at old movies on TV. That gave value to RKO.

Content is king?

Carlos Slim: Content and many other things. That is one of the points. But mobile, it was very clear that it needed to grow. Why do you think China has so much growing in mobile? You know, they still have less penetration than Nicaragua. Nicaragua! And Nicaragua is a country without development. No?

There are still a lot of Chinese people that need a phone.

Carlos Slim: Yes. There’s a lot of people.

If that was common sense, to get into cell phones when you did, what do you think the next big thing will be? What does your common sense tell you? Where’s the next opportunity?
