Chapter 753 Three Things (6000 chapters, 100 monthly tickets plus more)

"Next, let me talk about the business of Haotian Advertising last year." Chen Hou said, "In 2008, the company took over 66 cases in total.

Among them, there are 20 for advertising business, 10 for photo shoot, 8 for MV shooting, and 28 for film promotion business, with a total revenue of 5200 million.

After excluding costs and taxes, the net profit was 1625 million, a year-on-year increase of 19.62%. "

"Haotian copyright spent a total of 2700 million yuan to purchase copyright last year!" Xiaoying replied.

With the continuous success of novel adaptations of film and television dramas, although the concept of IP is not yet mature, the prices of novels and games with potential for adaptation have increased significantly.

Moreover, in order to win the copyright of Chen Hao's new film, he directly spent 250 million US dollars, which was the largest expenditure among them.

"Let me talk about Qidian Chinese Internet Cafe. With the improvement of treatment and the expansion of other distribution channels such as novel publishing and comic adaptation, we have retained a large number of excellent writers.

However, the market share has declined. In addition to Shengda Literature, portal websites such as Xinlang and Sohu have also set their sights on online literature.

Last year, they launched their own online literature websites one after another, and these newborn calves have seized a considerable market share.

Fortunately, Qidian has defended their offensive, and now our family is still the only one, followed by Shengda Literature, and many other new literature websites are eyeing.

In addition, Qidian also won many honors last year.

In the 2008 Forbes China Celebrity Ceremony, it won the honor of 'New Media'.

At the same time, it won the "2008 Most Influential Enterprise in the Copyright Industry" award.

In addition, in 08, Huaxia Copyright Association issued the "Honorary Title of the Most Influential Enterprise in Huaxia Copyright Industry".

And in December 08, won the "New and Outstanding Enterprise of the Year" in the 12 Huaxia Jiaozi New and Outstanding List. "Wu Wenhui said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Chen Hao didn't care much about honors, but the market share was the most important.

Chen Tianqiao's Shengda literature is not the focus, and when he suffers from physical problems and persists for a while, he will not be interested in engaging in online literature.

Qidian's biggest enemy in the future is still BAT!

"The company published the 10 most popular online novels last year, and sold a total of 150 million copies, with a net profit of 885 million yuan.

At the same time, 10 comics released by Qidian Comics, including "Xiefengqu" and "Shushan", have been enthusiastically sought after by fans. Although the comic website is still losing money for the time being, it has become the second largest comic website in the country. "Wu Wenhui said and glanced at Chang Hongsong.

Obviously, the one with the most registered users in the country must have acquired the Yaoqi Haoyou Yaoqi Anime Network!

"In 2009, the company will continue to expand distribution channels such as novel publishing and manga adaptation, and we have selected 10 novels.

They are "Infinite Horror", "Cun Mang", "Star Transformation", "Zhang Sanfeng's Journey to Another World", "Veterinarian in Another World", "Tomb of God", "Jiangshan Beauty", "From Zero", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" " and "Celebrating More Than Years"! "Wu Wenhui said.

Chang Hongsong asked with a smile, "Qidian Comics has opened ten more comics? Is there enough talent?"

Wu Wenhui laughed after hearing this, "We already have a signing mechanism and have recruited many newcomers to join, so there is no major problem."

Chen Hao looked at the two and shook his head. Wu Wenhui poached Chang Hongsong's corner, and now the animation websites of the two are ranked first and second respectively, so it's no wonder that the competition is fierce.

"Currently, Cosmopolitan Cinema Line has 66 theaters of its own with a total of 320 screens, and 25 screens of 90 franchised cinemas. Now Cosmopolitan Haotian Cinema Line has a total of 410 screens.

Whether it is the number of theaters or the number of screens, it ranks second in the country, second only to SMI's 114 theaters and 448 screens.

In the current Sihai Haotian Cinemas, the company holds a total of 73% of the shares, Huaying 5%, Moying 13%, and CGV 9%!

In 2008, the company did not add any more theaters, but focused all its attention on the improvement of 3D projection equipment.

Last year, the company bought 66 sets of 3D projection equipment, including installation and modification costs, a total cost of 7200 million yuan!

Although the cost is a bit more, we can now say that Sihai Haotian Cinemas is definitely the cinema with the most 3D screens in the country, which can give audiences a more exciting and real sensory experience. " Chen Xiangang said.

Chen Hao knew that these 66 sets of 3D projection equipment were actually purchased from Future 3D Company, and each set was worth 15 US dollars.

However, Chen Hao feels that these are not enough. In the future, 3D projection equipment in cinemas will basically be standard equipment for every large screen. Now, it is not enough for every cinema to have a large 3D screen.

Sihai Haotian Cinemas has to continue to introduce 3D projection equipment.

"At the same time, the total box office of Cosmopolitan Haotian Cinemas successfully exceeded 2008 million in 5, reaching 5.19 million yuan, double that of last year, accounting for 11.95% of the total box office in the mainland for the whole year.

This is achieved with 34 theaters across the country.

It can also be seen from this that the box office of a Four Seas Haotian theater accounts for nearly 12%, so there must be many theaters whose box office may be less than 1000 million, and they should still be in a state of loss.

The box office of Sihai Haotian Cinemas in 2008 totaled RMB 51872 million, plus revenues of RMB 900 million from snacks, drinks, and pre-screening advertisements. After excluding basic expenses such as wages, training, and rent, as well as taxes, and 3D modification costs, the net profit was RMB 13606 million. ! " Chen Xiangang said.

Chen Hao nodded and said, "It seems that the theater chain is developing very fast, which means that the movie market in the Mainland is also getting hotter and hotter. This is a good sign."

"That's right, the theater box office has more than doubled to more than 5 million yuan, which is more than the sum of previous years." Chen Xiangang said, "But this also made our competitors start to unite."

"Oh? Is there something wrong?" Chen Hao frowned.

"In Suzhou, our base camp, due to profitability and scale issues, the year before last, the fourth-ranked theater chain merged with the second-ranked theater chain to form Oriental Pictures.

Seeing that the scale, equipment, environment, and management of Universal Cinemas are making great strides, Oriental Pictures and third-ranked Prosperity Asia can no longer sit still.

The two of them are likely to join forces in the near future to form a new theater chain with 63 theaters and 133 large screens. "Chen Xiangang said.

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard this, it couldn't be that the Happy Blue Ocean theater line is coming out!

"Let's unite together, don't worry about it for the time being." Chen Hao thought for a while and said, "You have two tasks this year, one is to continue the 3D screen transformation of the cinema, and the other is to prepare to acquire Poly Wan, a subsidiary of Poly. and theaters."

"Acquire Poly Wanhe Cinemas?" Chen Xiangang frowned when he heard that.

The Four Seas Haotian theater chain has been in consolidation for a whole year and has not continued to expand, but its scale is already the largest in the country, so Chen Xiangang has no other ideas.

Unexpectedly, my boss is still thinking of continuing to expand. Is this going to directly exceed the distribution scale of Huaying?

"Yes." Chen Hao said, "Work in this area is already being done. You can contact Yu Dong from Paulie Burner. As for the funds, I will contact you when the time comes."

"Okay, I will connect with Mr. Yu." Chen Xiangang nodded upon hearing this.

He also heard about the conflict between Poly and Berna, and now it seems that the two are really going to separate, but he didn't expect his company to step in and acquire Poly Wanhe Cinemas.

"Then let me talk about the special effects of Haotian!" Chang Hongsong said with a smile, "In 2008, the company mainly participated in the production of "2012", "Painted Skin" and "Red Cliff". Received 3 million RMB.

At the same time, the company has approved three more animation films, in addition to "Kung Fu Panda 3" with an investment of 9000 million yuan and "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Returns" with an investment of 2 million yuan.

There is also a "Big Fish and Begonia" with an investment of 2000 million yuan!
In addition, the company is still constantly recruiting people, and now the company has more than 800 employees, but compared with the world's top special effects studios, there is still a long way to go.

In particular, more than half of the 800 people still need training and learning, and there is still some distance from being truly independent. "Chang Hongsong said.

Everyone couldn't help but be speechless when they heard the words. A Haotian special effects actually employs more than 800 people, which is really too many.

However, "Kung Fu Panda" directly won the global box office champion of Chinese-language movies, and its revenue exceeded 10 billion. If it makes money like this, even if the number of people doubles, it is estimated that Chen Hao will not stop it.

Looking at the special effects of this posture, Haotian seems to be constantly recruiting people, but now the number of people in the entire Haotian Holdings has exceeded 1200, and this four-story small building may soon be overcrowded.

The point is that there is such a large open space outside, but the government does not allow building buildings. It is really helpless.

Chang Hongsong continued, "The main task of the company in 2009 is to produce new films directed by Mr. Chen and Xu Ke. As for the animation films, there are no animation films to be released. Next year, "How to Train Your Dragon" should be available to everyone.

In addition, Haoyou Yaoqi now has more than 800 million registered users, and it is still the animation website with the most registered users in the mainland! "

"After Haotian Productions sold the Happy Girls brand to Shonan Satellite TV, they did not produce a new variety show throughout 2008. Instead, they went to South Korea and produced the reality show "The Birth of a Family" together with MSE.

Through the cooperation with South Korea, we have benefited a lot and learned a lot of experience in program production, especially the production of reality shows, which allowed us to learn a lot.

This year we will continue to cooperate with MSE to produce new variety shows, and the specific time for launching variety shows in China is to be determined. " Long Danny said.

"Happy Twist last year created and performed new dramas "Happy Twist 2008 Nobody Can Laugh", "French Dinner for Two", "A Xiang" and "Sweet and Salty".

Last year, the company added new actors such as Mary and Wei Xiang, with a total of 120 performances and an income of 120 million yuan. " Zhang Chen said.

"This year, in addition to continuing to create new dramas and tour performances, we still plan to continue to explore new markets. We plan to enter the Jinling, Modu and Pengcheng markets." Zhang Chen said.

"How much does it cost to buy land for self-construction in 3 cities, or rebuild a theater?" Chen Hao asked.

Zhang Chen hesitated for a while and said, "According to our survey, it should be at least 1500 million!"

"Okay, then 1500 million!" Chen Hao nodded directly, "But you must buy the land anyway, and you can build your own land as you like."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen!" Zhang Chen assured after hearing the words.

"Haotian Music released 2008 albums in 3, namely "My" by Li Yuchun, "Obviously Not Angel" by Sister He, and "UPDATE*JANE" by Zhang Jingying.

Among them, the "My" physical album sold 62 copies, and the digital album reached 102 million copies.

Zhang Jingying's "UPDATE*JANE" sold 31 physical copies and 75 digital copies.

Sister He's "Obviously Not Angel", 22 physical copies and 41 digital copies.

In 2008, the company sold a total of 115 million physical albums, with a revenue of 4025 million yuan, and 218 million digital albums, with a revenue of 2180 million yuan. After taxation, the company's net profit in 2008 was 3220 million yuan. " Huo Shaowen said.

Compared with Haotian Music's physical sales in 2008 and 2007, its physical sales dropped by 70 copies. This is still the case with Li Yuchun, an idol singer with high popularity and amazing sales!

Now Jay Chou is the only one who can sell millions of albums in the Mainland, other singers who can sell 30 albums should be considered big sellers.

And as time goes on, physical sales of albums will only get lower and lower.

Fortunately, the sales of digital albums are outstanding, and the revenue has exceeded 2000 million. There is a lot to do in the future!

"In 2009, the company plans to release three albums, namely "I'm Not a Copy" by Zhang Hanyun, "Love Me Again" by Zhang Jie, and "I Loved You Deeply" by Xue Qian.

The company will focus on digital albums this year and strive to create greater glories. " Huo Shaowen said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, the physical albums in the future will not be sold at all, maybe they can only be sold in limited quantities, as collections for hardcore fans.

Digital albums are the future!
"Mr. Yu, please introduce us too." Chen Hao said.

Yu Yongfu laughed when he heard the words, "In 2008, UC Youshi not only helped other brother companies to do one-click login, online recharge and other services.

Our job is to expand the ecological chain of UC, develop big data cloud computing, push the content of interest to users more accurately, and facilitate them to find the resources they want.

In addition, we changed a new logo, which is a cute little squirrel. "

Chen Hao laughed when he heard that, cute little squirrel, this is the UC in his memory!
"UC Youshi has the highest level of Internet-related technology. Naturally, those who can do more work. Do we still need to invest this year?"

Whether to invest money or not is what Chen Hao cares about. Others just need to check the progress.

UC browser has a huge user base, which has great value in itself, and is also very beneficial to the company's film and television drama promotion. It can recommend all Haotian's film and television dramas to its users, which is undoubtedly a great publicity tool.

Taopiao.com and Weibo are actually separated from UC, and UC can be regarded as the core of Internet technology under Haotian Holdings.

"The US$1000 million invested in the year before last is enough for the time being." Yu Yongfu said with a smile.

Although Chen Hao doesn't know much about Internet technology, he is willing to invest money so that UC Youshi doesn't have to worry about money and can focus on its own technology research and development.

More importantly, Chen Hao doesn't know how to direct experts from outsiders. This is what makes Yu Yongfu most comfortable.

Chen Hao nodded upon hearing this, and then looked at Yang Bo.

"Douban.com newly launched Douban Plaza, musician page and new help center in 2008. It has developed rapidly, and the number of registered users has reached 400 million." Yang Bo said with a smile.

"The current development of Douban.com is leading the industry, but its competitor Shiguang.com is also developing rapidly. It is a big threat to Douban.com, and the company needs to continue to increase investment."

"Okay, how much does it cost?" Chen Hao asked, "Or do you want to acquire Shuguang.com?"

Now that he knew about the future development of Shiguang.com, Chen Hao decided to buy it directly. In the future, Douban and Shiguang would be his right and left hands.

Yang Bo was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed, "Mergers and acquisitions are not impossible, but without Shiguangwang, there will be Jiuguangwang, Paguangwang, so we can't keep buying!"

Chen Hao nodded after hearing this, "Okay, you can handle it yourself! How much investment do you need this year?"

"Two million dollars!" Yang Bo said, "With this amount of money, there should be no need to invest in it for the past two years."

Chen Hao nodded after listening, "No problem."

"Thank you Mr. Chen!" Yang Bo laughed.

"Haotian Games launched "Red Cliff", "Hot Dance Party" and "Pocket Westward Journey" respectively in 2008.

Among them, "Red Cliff" has 24 online users in 19 hours, and the highest online number has reached 35 people, and now it is basically stable at around 22 people.

The 24-hour online audience of "Hot Dance Party" reached 35 people, and the highest online audience reached 55 people. Now it is basically stable at around 20 people.

"Pocket Westward Journey" has 24 online users in 15 hours, and the highest online number has reached 24 people, and now it is basically stable at around 16 people.

Three games, plus the previous "Wulin Biography" and "Zhu Xian", the company's monthly turnover has now reached about 4200 million yuan. "Ding Hao said.

Hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the game really brings money quickly, and he is indeed the best cash cow.

The monthly turnover is 4200 million, so last year (launched sequentially) has earned more than 2 million yuan!
The key is that games will never go out of date. Although the output value of PC games has declined after many years, the output value of mobile games has soared. As long as there are young people, the output value of games will not plummet.

This is a stable industry worthy of great investment.

"How's the conversation with Perfect World going?" Chen Hao said.

Perfect World Games Company holds 30% of the shares of Haotian Games, and Chen Hao wants to take it back.

Ding Hao glanced at Chen Hao and said, "The other party asked for 1 million yuan!"

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "Okay, by the way, have you talked to Perfect World about acquiring or investing in them?"

"I talked to them, but they didn't agree." Ding Hao said.

Chen Hao nodded with a smile, "It must be a matter of money. If you talk about it again, you can give them a high price, as long as you can win the Perfect World."

"Okay, I'll talk about it again." Ding Hao looked at Chen Hao's face, and it seemed that he really wanted to buy Perfect World.

"Last year, Taopiao.com reached cooperation with 76 cinemas, most of which are cinemas owned by Huaying and Polyburner." Zhang Baochun said, "The sales have doubled compared with 2007, and sold 168562 cinemas throughout the year. Tickets, sales of 337 million yuan!"

Of course, Huaying and Pauli Bernard were greeted by Chen Hao. It seems that other theaters are still a bit difficult.

"Other cinemas continue to negotiate, and we don't need any income." Chen Hao said, "By the way, how is the automatic ticket machine doing?"

Zhang Baochun nodded when he heard the words, "It has been developed and is ready to be put into production."

"How about the funds?" Chen Hao asked directly.

"With your 2000 million from last year, it's enough for now." Zhang Baochun said.

"That's good!" Chen Hao nodded.

"In 2008, Haotian City still strived to create three major characteristics: localization, independent and free, real and efficient.

The scope of services has covered all areas of life, providing various life information such as house rental and sales, job recruitment, second-hand sales, car rental and sales, catering and entertainment, travel and making friends, and has covered all large and medium-sized cities in China.

Last year, Haotian Tongcheng WAP website entered the top 25 Chinese WAP websites, and we have always been in the leading position among similar websites.

In 2009, we will continue to promote the company on computers and mobile phones. " Cao Libin said.

"What about 85.com?" Chen Hao asked.

"85.com's WAP site has also entered the top 25 Chinese WAP sites, and the growth in daily page views and user numbers is almost the same as ours, but the total amount is slightly smaller than ours." Cao Libin replied.

"Then keep suppressing 85.com." Chen Hao said, "Don't be afraid to spend money, I'll give you another 1000 million, give me a hard promotion, and we must strive to be the industry leader."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, the task must be completed!" Cao Libin laughed.

"Weibo has been online for more than a year, because we have participated in the snow disaster and earthquake rescue reports in the south, and invited many celebrities to settle in, so the number of registered users has increased rapidly.

As of the end of 2008, the number of users of Weibo has exceeded 2500 million, becoming the most users of the same type of website. "Zhang Yu introduced.

"How about Pain Xun Tao Tao and Fan Fou Wang?" Chen Hao asked.

"Although the two companies are learning that we invite celebrities to settle in, recent data shows that the rapid growth of users has no longer been achieved by Weibo.

However, the portal New Wolf seems to be interested in launching its own microblog, as well as Netease. " Zhang Shu replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "The portal website comes with a huge amount of traffic, so we must remain vigilant and not slack off in the slightest."

After all, the achievements of Xinlang Weibo in the previous life are vivid, so Chen Hao will not take it lightly.

"Okay, Mr. Chen!" Zhang Shu said.

"Continue to invite celebrities, and continue to promote. I will give you another 2000 million. There is only one goal, and that is to firmly occupy the first place in the industry, and be especially vigilant against the new wolf microblog." Chen Hao said.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, we will discuss targeted measures when we go back." Zhang Su said.

Zhuang Heng said, "Haotian Charity Fund invested a total of 4000 million RMB in the southern snow disaster and earthquake relief last year, and also built 3 schools in the Land of Abundance.

The project has not yet been fully completed, and the total investment is 1800 million. Because of the consideration of earthquake resistance, the investment is more. "

Chen Hao heard the words, "You must do a good job in the inspection work and ensure the quality of the project. In addition, I will invest another 1500 million to build 3 more elementary schools this year."

"Okay, Mr. Chen!" Zhuang Heng nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work this year. The companies you are responsible for can achieve such outstanding performance." Chen Hao said with a smile, "I hope everyone will continue to work hard this year and strive for greater glories."

clap clap clap...

"In addition, I have three things to announce!" Chen Hao said.
