Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 465 Columbia Doesn't Quit

"Tang Tang!"

After Chen Hao was busy with the company's work, he returned to Tang Tang's villa, ready to coax the beauty!
"Tang Tang?"

There was no one on the first and second floors, so Chen Hao went directly to the third floor, and saw Da Meitang who was practicing yoga.

Seeing Dameitang's slender and delicate body, especially the difficult pose, Chen Hao swallowed and couldn't help but moved over.

"Don't touch me, hum!"

As a result, before Chen Hao met Dameitang, he was drunk by Dameitang.

"Tang Tang, are you still angry?" Chen Hao asked with a smile on his face.

"Should I be angry? Hmph!" Dameitang said arrogantly.

"Dangdang Dangdang!" Chen Hao suddenly took out a bouquet of roses and handed it to Dameitang.

Da Mei Tang was stunned, then overjoyed, the corners of her mouth just turned up but she felt that she shouldn't let Chen Hao go so easily, so she returned to her expressionless face, "You think I'm a three-year-old? So easy to coax? Huh! "

Seeing Dameitang's face turned to the other side, Chen Hao shook his head with a dark smile, and then said silently, "Hey, I wanted to spend the spring evening with you, and I'm going to America to shoot a movie in two days."

"Leaving so soon?" Da Meitang was anxious when she heard this, and immediately turned around and asked.

But after seeing Chen Hao's half-smiling eyes, he immediately turned his face away, "Hmph! Scoundrel!"

"Yeah, Columbia has urged me to go there a long time ago, and whether I can come back to celebrate your birthday is a question." Chen Hao sighed.

"No, you have to come back to me. You didn't come back to celebrate my birthday last year!" Damei Tang stopped pretending and immediately turned her face and said angrily.

"Okay, okay, whatever Tang Tang says is true." Chen Hao immediately leaned over, hugged Dameitang and kissed her red lips.

After Damei Tang was attacked, he struggled symbolically, but was defeated by Chen Hao's tongue.

Three minutes later, Chen Hao looked at Dameitang who was panting slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will come back to celebrate your birthday no matter how busy I am."

"Hmph, it's not too bad!" Dameitang gave Chen Hao a blank look when he heard the words, "By the way, did you give Xiaohu a birthday present?"

"How do you know?" Chen Hao was taken aback.

"Called me this morning and said that she is going to be my neighbor!" Dameitang said angrily.

Chen Hao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, "Didn't you ask me to buy this!"

"Hmph, but I didn't ask you to give it to the vixen!" Dameitang hesitated when he heard the words, and then shouted forcefully.

"Okay, okay, my fault, my fault." Chen Hao smiled, "To make up for my fault, let me practice yoga with you, the pose just now is not bad!"

"Huh?" Dameitang was taken aback when he heard that.

But after seeing Chen Hao's malicious eyes, he immediately pushed, "Don't!"

However, Chen Hao didn't allow her to refuse, and immediately pushed her up!
Then, the two practiced yoga for two!
……

The next day, when Chen Hao left the villa, Da Mei Tang was still sleeping.

As soon as Chen Hao came to the company, he received a call from Chen Xiangang.

"Mr. Chen, I contacted Columbia, but they have no plans to withdraw from the mainland cinema market." Chen Xiangang said helplessly.

"What?" Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, it shouldn't be.

"The adjustment of the interim regulations is that the maximum proportion of foreign investment is adjusted from 75% to 49%, which has no substantive impact on Colombia.

Whether it is a theater company invested by Columbia Film and Hengcheng, or a theater company established with China Film and us, the proportion is only 30%. " Chen Xiangang said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, he naturally knew this, "But after the policy adjustment in Colombia, don't you have any worries at all?"

"There must be, but they are still optimistic about the huge film market potential in the Mainland, and they have analyzed that although the maximum investment ratio has dropped to 49%, it should not drop any further.

They think that 49% should be the bottom line, and their 30% is undoubtedly very safe, plus they are optimistic about the prospects of the mainland, so they will not withdraw from the mainland film market. "Chen Xiangang said.

Chen Hao was helpless when he heard the words, this was inconsistent with his expectations, it seemed that he had taken it for granted.

"However, Warner Bros. will definitely be affected. Their theater company in Jinling holds 51% of the shares, and the proportion of theaters that cooperate with Wanda is not low." Chen Xiangang said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "Then ignore Columbia and try to get in touch with Warner Bros."

Chen Xiangang paused when he heard the words, "The contracts of many theaters and theater chains expired this year, and now everyone is trying their best to win over theaters, and Haotian Cinemas has also been affected."

"Are you saying that there are other theaters trying to attract our franchise theaters?" Chen Hao frowned.

"Yes, our two major competitors in Suzhou have made moves, and the Golden Age Asia Cinemas has taken the opportunity to expand this time. Now it has 25 theaters with 40 screens.

The bigger threat is the Oriental Cinemas, which has directly reorganized with the fourth-ranked cinemas. Now the number of theaters has reached 26, and the number of screens is as high as 69.

There is also Shanghai’s competitor United Cinemas, with 60 theaters and 165 screens! "Chen Xiangang said.

"Then how is our Haotian Cinemas doing now?" Chen Hao asked.

"Haotian Cinemas currently has 56 cinemas across the country, of which 6 are still under construction, and the total number of cinema screens under construction is 254! In terms of the number of single-wheel screens, it is already the first in a single cinema chain. .

Of course, China Film has three theater lines: Xingmei, Digital, and Southern Shinkansen. When combined, China Film is still the undisputed number one! " Chen Xiangang said.

"Since this is the way to stabilize the existing franchise theaters, you can contact Warner Bros., and I can also contact you in the United States." Chen Hao said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'm already doing it." Chen Xiangang said.

"That's good, contact me in time." Chen Hao said.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao was a little silent. It seems that it is impossible to win the Columbia theater, but he does not know if Warner Bros. has a chance.

Afterwards, Chen Hao continued to handle company affairs, and went to Yaya's villa at night.

But when Chen Hao hugged Yaya and was about to kiss her passionately, Yaya refused to push her away, and Yaya pointed out shyly.

Turning sideways, Chen Hao saw Xiaohu and Dameitang staring at him fiercely.

"Why are they here again?" Chen Hao asked.

"You don't know that Tang Tang likes you!" Yaya whispered, "But you gave me the flowers yesterday, and she was very sad. As a good girlfriend, I naturally want to accompany her."

Chen Hao glanced at Yaya with a strange expression when he heard this, and then looked at Dameitang, but Dameitang had a complacent expression on his face, and he didn't look sad no matter what.

"Okay, with Tang Tang here, don't be too intimate with me, so as not to irritate her." Yaya apologized.

Hearing this, Chen Hao looked at Yaya's pleading appearance, and couldn't help lowering his head and biting his red lips.

"Oh, you just promised me." Yaya immediately patted Chen Hao lightly, and said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I must stay away from you." Chen Hao smiled, "However, they won't be staying here tonight, right? I'm going to America to film in two days."

Yaya said embarrassedly when she heard the words, "Tang Tang said that she wanted me to stay with her for a few more days. The itinerary for these few days has been planned. It is estimated that the two of them will be staying for a while!"

After hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but glared at Xiaohu and Dameitang, you guys are ruthless!
What greeted us was Xiaohu's provocative eyes, and Dameitang's mischievous smile.

Two days later, Chen Hao met Yang Bo. After signing the contract, Chen Hao officially bought Douban, and Yang Bo served as the general manager of Douban.

The two chatted very happily. Chen Hao and Yang Bo talked a lot about their thoughts on Douban. The first is the scoring function, which has a lot of stickiness.

It has also made Douban an important platform for movie reviews on the Internet. Many movie fans will first ask Douban to get an initial impression of the movie before deciding whether to watch it.

This has brought a lot of traffic to Douban.

However, Chen Hao suggested that Douban's scoring system should be divided into two systems, one for fans' ratings and the other for professional film critics' ratings.

It is natural to find authoritative film critics for ratings. After all, their evaluations are more professional and informative.

However, Chen Hao suggested grading film critics, and giving them points depending on the quality of their film reviews. If they reach a certain score, they can be upgraded. Upgrades will naturally have better benefits.

The main purpose of doing this is to prevent film critics from expressing their opinions indiscriminately, misleading everyone, and to enhance the authority and credibility of Douban.com.

In fact, Chen Hao still has an idea deep in his heart. This is because the major film festivals in the mainland are really confusing, so Chen Hao wonders if he will organize an award ceremony in the future.

And these professional and credible film critics trained by Douban can be candidates for judges at that time.

As for ratings by movie fans, it can actually be regarded as the audience's love. At the same time, in order to avoid scoring, Chen Hao also suggested that the ticket stubs must be posted in order to score.

But this is very troublesome. It will affect the enthusiasm of netizens in the early stage of Douban's development. Let's wait until the volume reaches a certain level!

In addition, Chen Hao also gave Douban a lot of improvement and development directions based on the records of his previous life. Hearing that, Yang Bo was very excited, and he was so itchy that he wanted to go back and upgrade immediately.

However, the first thing Yang Bo has to do now is to recruit people to enrich his Douban team.

In the past, he only operated and maintained the website by himself, but now with the support of Chen Hao, he can confidently and boldly form his own team.

After finishing Douban, Chen Hao met Wang Wei from Tudou again.

Hu Jin has already negotiated with Wang Wei, all that is left is to sign the contract for confirmation, and then pay the money!

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your favor." Wang Wei greeted Chen Hao enthusiastically.

When it was launched in April, Wang Wei and his team had only 4 people in total, and they were all rookies.

Now that there is no YouTube, no one knows what the fate of Tudou will be, so they have an unspeakable fear in their hearts (Wang Wei himself said).

Unsure, the engineer also asked, "Release?"

As a result, Wang Wei replied, "Publish it. I have already paid 800 yuan for the press release fee. There is no refund."

"The video network has great potential, and its future status may not even lose to that of TV stations." Chen Hao said.

Wang Wei was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "I look forward to that day."

Afterwards, the two signed and exchanged the agreement, and Chen Hao has since become the major shareholder of Tudou.com.

Looking at Wang Wei who was smiling happily, Chen Hao's thoughts were racing.

As one of the earliest online video websites in the world, Tudou.com is naturally the first to eat crabs in the mainland.

Tudou developed very well at the beginning, even if Youku later caught up head-on, the two companies went hand in hand.

The turning point of the matter occurred when Tudou.com had been preparing for several years and was preparing to go public in the United States. Wang Wei's wife gave him a head-on blow. She asked for a divorce and split 38% of Tudou.com's equity.

On the eve of going public in the United States, it is obviously impossible to go public after such an announcement.

In the end, Wang Wei promised to give his wife 700 million US dollars in compensation to stabilize the situation.

It's a pity that it's already half a year later, and Youku took this opportunity to be the first to be listed in North America, and relying on the concept of "the first video stock in mainland China", it rose by 161% on the first day, and its market value broke through 30 billion U.S. dollars as soon as it went public. .

But when Tudou came to North America for sale half a year later, the situation changed drastically.

Tudou was not only robbed of the concept of "China's first video website" by Youku, but also because the U.S. stock market has changed dramatically.

Due to the recent revelations of financial fraud, Huaxia concept stocks have fallen into a crisis of integrity in the United States. Under this situation, the prospect of Tudou.com's IPO is not optimistic.

In the end, Tudou.com fell 12% on the first day, and its market value was only US$7.1 million!
Later, Youku came from behind and suppressed Tudou until Youku acquired Tudou.

It can be said that the founder's divorce is the most feared thing for investors.

After finally incubating a large company, just when the full-fledged company was ready to go public to cash out, the entrepreneur suddenly caught fire in the backyard, another property dispute froze the equity, and the family turned against each other and blew up the inside story...

As a result, the listing was stranded, and the investment income I saw was yellow.

Having suffered enough from the divorce, it is said that some venture capitalists are considering adding clauses to the shareholder agreement, restricting entrepreneurs from getting divorced before the company goes public.

In the future, everyone is likely to see that when IT elites get married, they will not only swear to their father-in-law "to be loyal to their wives forever", but also swear to the board of directors to "be loyal to their wives until the day they go public".

Chen Hao suddenly had the urge to make Wang Wei swear not to divorce before going public, but he held back, now that Wang Wei is not married yet, they must not treat you as a mental illness!

In fact, Chen Hao also felt that Wang Wei's ex-wife could not be entirely blamed, because when the divorce result was announced for the first time, Wang Wei's ex-wife only received 10 yuan, which was basically considered to be leaving the house.

It's no wonder that the ex-wife will come out to make trouble.

"Mr. Chen, what's the matter?" Wang Wei looked at Chen Hao who was staring at him and asked curiously.

"Uh... happy cooperation!" Chen Hao swallowed the words, and now he has not written a word, so he can only pay more attention to it in the future.

After dealing with all matters related to the acquisition and company affairs, Chen Hao flew directly to Xiangjiang without further delay, and started the week-long Asian promotion of "The Martian"!
