  After 71 years, the longstanding mail-order media club Columbia House is shutting down on Sept. 15. Columbia House got its start in 1955 as the Columbia Record Club, a direct-mail marketing program by CBS/Columbia Records. New members were promised a free record for joining, and customers could bypass a trip to the record store by ordering albums to be shipped to them at home. It was such a wildly popular venture that by 1963, it represented 10% of the music retail market. As the club spawned imitators, Columbia set itself apart by licensing titles from other labels, giving members a larger catalog to choose from. In the early 1970s, the name of the club was changed to Columbia House. With its introductory offer of “8 CDs for a penny,” the service remained a powerhouse throughout the late 20th century, peaking at 16 million members in 1996, the same year the Columbia House website went live. In 1991, Sony and Time Warner formed a 50/50 joint venture combining Columbia House with Time Life's home video and music clubs. As the market share for mail-order music clubs declined due to the rise of online and big-box retailers, Sony and AOL Time Warner sold 85% of Columbia House to the Blackstone Group. There were widespread reports of a planned merger with CDNow or Blockbuster Video, but neither came to pass. In 2005, Columbia House was sold to its competitor BMG, and then to JMCK Corp. It rebranded as Direct Brands, shutting down music sales and continuing as a DVD and Blu-ray Disc club. Plans to launch a vinyl record club with Columbia House branding did not materialize.

  Ma Huateng shopped Tencent to buyers in 1999 and nobody wanted it. Jack Ma had already been turned down for 30 jobs, one of them at a KFC. The Chinese television archives from that stretch catch both men before anyone had a reason to listen. Studio chairs, no product the audience recognized, no reason for the segment to exist. Jack Ma's first time on camera was not even an interview. A crew found him at night, still sitting on his bicycle, in the middle of something he had not planned to be filmed doing. He had put 7,000 yuan of savings and a family loan into China Yellow Pages, selling web pages in a country that was barely online. Hangzhou Telecom set up a competitor and pushed him out inside 2 years. Ma Huateng started Tencent in Shenzhen in November 1998 with 4 partners. OICQ crossed 1,000,000 users in its first year and earned nothing, while the server bills kept coming. So he went looking for an exit. He approached Sohu. He approached Yahoo China. Both passed. IDG and a fund run by Li Ka-shing's son each took 20% for $1,100,000, which valued the company at about $11,000,000. Then AOL won a trademark case and OICQ became QQ. In May 2001 a South African media group bought 46.5% for $32,000,000. That stake later passed $175,000,000,000, the best venture bet ever placed. Jack Ma started Alibaba in April 1999 in his apartment with 18 people and 500,000 yuan, ran the biggest IPO in history in 2014, attacked China's financial regulators onstage in October 2020, and vanished from public view for 3 months. One could not sell his company. The other could not get hired.
