Winners in life: starting from the street writer

Chapter 123
Zhi Ying is no stranger to Hangzhou, and has often traveled here before.

But in the future, she will work and live in this city for at least a few years.

Although Zhiying said that he doesn't care about the annual salary, Shen Hao is still very generous.

With an annual salary of 300 million before tax, plus 5% of the shares, even Zhi Ying is satisfied.

Looking at many start-up companies, Shen Hao is the only one who can offer her such a reward.

What's more, Zhiying knows Powehi's potential well.

As long as it is operated properly, it is easy to have more than [-] million daily active users.

At that time, the valuation of tens of billions of dollars will be the same as playing games.

Although Shen Hao didn't go to pick up the plane in person, he also sent a driver to drive his Da Lao there, giving Zhi Ying enough face.

When they arrived at Yuanmeng Mansion, Zhi Ying was also slightly startled.

Such a luxurious building, the whole building belongs to Shen Hao.

Even if she came from a company as rich and powerful as Byte, she was shocked.

When the Rolls-Royce stopped downstairs, Shen Hao and several Powehi business executives came out to greet Zhi Ying.

Zhiying was also flattered. Seeing that the big boss valued her so much, she might not be moved if she didn't beat the workers.

Walking into the building, the magnificent lobby and several elevators are also full of style.

Shen Hao smiled and introduced that from the 11th floor to the 19th floor, he took them out and distributed them to the Powehi business department.

The specific matter of recruiting people was discussed by Zhi Ying and the other senior executives.

In this regard, Zhiying is also well prepared. If you want to dig people, naturally digging from Byte is the best choice.

Like now Powehi is small in size and unknown, even if Byte finds out, he won't say anything.

But in terms of annual salary, it must be higher.

Otherwise, if someone does a good job in Byte, who would come to a small company.

Seeing Lin Qi, Zhi Ying was very pleasantly surprised.

Fields like short video platforms that attach great importance to algorithms.

Without this kind of technology, it will definitely not work.

Originally, Zhiying planned to dig some big names from Qiandu and Byte.

Now that Lynch is here, she can sit back and relax.

But Lynch is also a human being, not a machine.

If it's time to dig people, you still have to dig, just dig a few capable men for Lynch.

Five hundred million sounds like a lot.

But for short video platforms, among other things, the server cost alone is enough to cause pain for many platforms.

For example, Alibaba Cloud, the server provider with the highest market share, offers 0.24 yuan per GB of traffic.

If the average size of the video uploaded by each customer is ten megabytes.

For example, the annual server cost of Kuaishou is about 60 billion yuan.

Therefore, after the traffic increases, Douyin and Kuaishou choose to build their own servers in order to avoid being cut off by Alibaba Cloud.

It is better to use self-built servers to spend billions of billions of dollars each year.

In comparison, it is definitely more cost-effective.

Even platforms like Douyu and Huya have a monthly bandwidth cost of 8000 to [-] million.

After Zhiying joined the job, Shen Hao was relieved at last.

Zhiying did have the spirit of desperate Sanniang, and led a few senior executives to start poaching people in various large factories.

Whether it's technical or operational, as long as it's what the company lacks, anyone will be welcome.

When the recruitment was almost done, Zhiying began to lead the operation team to discuss how to promote Powehi.

In the end, the meeting decided to sponsor a season of variety shows first to increase exposure.

In addition, for original authors, a subsidy plan will also be given to give priority to supporting some high-quality Internet celebrities.

Like the marketing budget, Zhi Ying finally set a price of no more than [-] million to sponsor a popular variety show.

But I contacted several video platforms and TV stations, but for any popular variety show, the naming fee starts at least [-] million yuan.

Zhiying received feedback from the team, so she had to settle for the next best thing, looking for some unpopular variety shows with the potential to be popular.

The title quotation of a program on Mango TV caught Zhiying's attention.

"Sister who rides the wind and waves?"

Zhiying looked at the information provided by Mango TV.

This variety show is only a B-level variety show in Mango TV's investment promotion resource release plan, and it is not favored by Mango TV executives.

The price of naming rights is even cheaper.

The price is only 4000 million, which is definitely very cost-effective.

But when tens of millions of investments were involved, Zhi Ying didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so she specially reported her thoughts to Shen Hao.

"Sister Lang?"

Shen Hao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhi Ying to be a lucky general.

If Zhiying hadn't paid attention to Sister Lang's investment promotion, he wouldn't have remembered it at all.

"Let's put aside the matter of investment promotion. Please ask Mango TV for [-] million to buy out the copyright of this variety show. For the first season, we will fund the production together with them. The income from investment promotion and new members will be increased." , also split in half, to see if they are willing to accept it?"

Shen Hao couldn't help but gear up for it. There was no reason to miss such a good opportunity to bargain.

This means that their own video platform has not been done yet.

Otherwise, for a popular variety show like Sister Lang, just take it over and make it yourself.

But he just thought about it, without the resources of Mango Channel, it would be difficult to find so many 30+ female artists to participate in the show.

Zhi Ying called Mango TV directly and offered to buy out Sister Lang's copyright.

Mango TV didn't pay much attention to Sister Lang's copyright.

For a B-level variety show, the 4000 million title sponsorship fee can't even be paid.

What's more, the conditions proposed by Zhi Ying are not bad.

One hundred million bought out the copyright of Sister Lang. For the first season, the two parties jointly funded the production.

Mango Taiwan is responsible for finding people, and the investment promotion side is also responsible.

At that time, if the show becomes popular, we will share the money together.

If you pounce, you will lose money together.

Shen Hao knew in his heart that Sister Lang was bound to be very angry.

But the top management of Mango TV is not clear!
According to their internal analysis, a group of 30+ female artists are very likely to hit the street.

Now there is a big guy who takes the initiative to come out and take investment risks with them. Where can I find such a good thing?

As a result, the two sides quickly reached a consensus.

Naturally, Shen Hao couldn't wait to send Zhi Ying to have a meeting with the high-level executives of Mango TV.

In less than a day, the contract was signed.

Among them, Sister Lang spent [-] million in copyright fees.

Powehi paid 4000 million yuan for the exclusive naming fee, which is a good sign for Sister Lang's investment promotion.

But it is an original variety show after all, even if many artists agree to participate, the quotation will be relatively high.

Originally, Mango Channel planned to select only 15 30+ female artists to participate in the program recording.

But later, after Shen Hao made a phone call, it was changed to 30 female artists.

In this way, the production cost is higher.

The popularity is different, the cost is different.

A little less, 30 million.

A little higher, more than 100 million, after recording 10 episodes, it will be more than 1000 million.

What's more, 30 artists have different lengths of recording sessions.

After finalizing it, the production cost is proposed to be 2 million yuan. If it is not enough, both parties will increase capital as appropriate.

Anyway, each paid half of it. Calculated, Shen Hao spent a total of 2.4 million before and after.

But you ask Shen Hao, is it worth it?

At this time, Shen Hao was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he was almost numb.

Except for 4000 million, it is the account of Powehi.

The other 2 million yuan was borrowed by Shen Hao from Qin Manwen.

Although they both had children, Shen Hao also signed a very formal contract with Qin Manwen.

Compared to Shen Hao who was short of money at this time, Qin Manwen directly 'borrowed' him 10 billion, and the interest was even the price of cabbage.

Although spending a woman's money is somewhat bad.

But Shen Hao couldn't care less about such a good bargain hunting opportunity.

After spending 2 million yuan, there are still 8 million yuan left.

Even if the subsequent surge in Powehi's users, it can barely support it.

Zhi Ying didn't know whether she was right or wrong in pushing Sister Lang's variety show to her boss.

Although she is more interested in the setting of this variety show.

But Shen Hao's act of putting all his eggs in one basket and winning the copyright still made her a little confused.

But Shen Hao would trade at a loss?
The investment of Sister Lang 1 is almost 4.5 million.

The membership income of Mango TV is also 5 million yuan, adding up to close to 10 billion yuan in revenue.

Shen Hao can get half of the contract signed with Mango Channel, sponsorship fees and membership-driven income.

In the final analysis, Mango TV's senior executives were still not optimistic about Sister Lang, so they made such generous concessions.

When Sister Lang becomes popular after it airs, they will regret it to death.

Even if the two parties share half, Shen Hao will earn a net profit of 2 million after deducting the investment of 3 million.

That's not counting, he bought out the copyright of Sister Lang.

With the enthusiasm of the first season, the investment promotion of the second season can easily exceed one billion.

Thinking of this, Shen always really laughed at everyone, and he was in a better mood.

There is also good news from Lynch. The video platform has also gone online after several tests.

For example, the playback of film and television dramas, as well as membership and barrage functions, are not far behind the experience of mainstream platforms.

After all, the long video platform Ayouteng relies on content to win.

Without high-quality content, just like Mango TV, it can only look at the backs of the three companies.

For Sister Lang, it's not that Shen Hao has never seen it. In the later period, Mango Terrace was purely self-defeating, destroying a good money tree.

Now that the copyright is in his hands, naturally he won't mess around like Mango TV.

On Dream Realization Film and Television, Song Xiuzhu was named as a producer, and found the production team of Noon Sunshine to cooperate in the filming of the opening episode "The Ancient City".

To say that among the online dramas of the Ghost Blowing Lantern series, the most outstanding one is "The Ancient City" produced by Noon Sunshine.

Of course, the production cost of this drama is beyond the reach of ordinary low-cost web dramas.

The total investment is as high as 8000 million, and the single integration cost exceeds 400 million.

But now, Yuanmeng Film and Television is not short of money.

Noon Sunshine has filmed this drama well, and it is best to make it air on the TV station.

In this time and space, TV stations are not so strict on suspense-themed film and television dramas.

After some discussions, the two parties finally agreed to each contribute half of the capital. Because Yuanmeng Film and Television has the copyright, the proportion of the proceeds will be [-]%.

In this regard, the midday sun has no objection.

He even took the initiative to sign cooperation agreements for the next few works.

Shen Hao also understands how important an excellent and stable production team is to a work.

The other stories like Ghost Blowing the Lantern did not reach the height of "Exquisite Ancient City", not because the production team pulled their hips.

With the level of sunlight at noon, the "Exquisite Ancient City" produced should have no problem getting to the stars.

At that time, membership income + advertising fee, making a small fortune will not be a big problem.

As for Shen Hao, he naturally didn't want his work to be ruined.

Handing it over to the production team of Noon Sunshine gave him something to worry about.

As for Song Xiuzhu, that was his trump card, so it was naturally impossible to lower his net worth to make online dramas.

Besides, he has already sent the outlines of the next four stories to Song Xiuzhu, who is also busy writing the scripts.

If you are lucky, maybe the project will be officially approved and started in June.

But no matter how fast the shooting progress is, plus post-production, it is estimated that it will be released on New Year's Day or Spring Festival.

Each story is produced by the team of Noon Sunshine.

Even if he doesn't earn much, Shen Hao doesn't care, as long as he can retain most of the users, it's more important than anything else.

What's more, a movie based on this IP, just a "Looking for the Dragon", can at least give him seven or eight times the return on investment.

This means that there is not enough funds at hand, otherwise Shen Hao would have wanted to directly buy Noon Sunshine and let Kong Sheng's team shoot film and television dramas for his works.

Think about Kong Sheng's team in the midday sun for film and television dramas, and Song Xiuzhu for movies.

It would be strange if the valuation of Yuanmeng Film and Television did not explode.
