China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 359 Chapter 357. Create Double Twelve to replace Double Eleven
Directing a film is actually not very attractive to Cao Yu, who has become the boss of an entertainment company.

With names like producer, investor, and financier dad, which one is not more awesome than the director?
However, the problem now is that this "If You Are the One" movie has not yet found a suitable director.

Ning Hao didn't dare to take it. Although Zhang Yimou had also filmed comedies such as "Speak Well", Director Zhang was currently busy with the Olympic opening ceremony and had no time at all.

As for Wang Jing, that's even more inappropriate. It might turn this movie into shit.

And Xingye's nonsensical style is not suitable for "If You Are the One".

"Then I'll do it myself!"

Boss Cao thought about it for a while and felt that he really could only shoot it himself.

Wang Baoqiang, who did not come from a professional background, can become a director worth tens of billions. He has been in the film crew for at least 20 years and has played countless bit parts. How can you say that a top student who graduated from Nortel is not as good as Brother Baoqiang?
More importantly, who knows how to make this film better than someone who has watched the original film five or six times.

Seeing that the boss agreed, Ning Hao immediately said: "Then I will start forming a crew!"

For him, it is a great honor to be able to help his boss.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. Filming won't start until April or May next year. You can work on your "Crazy Racing" first."

Thinking that he was going to direct a movie for the first time, Cao Yu was a little excited, but after calming down, he felt that he could not be impatient. The other actors and the plot still needed to be polished.

"Good boss."

Ning Hao nodded. When talking about "Crazy Racing", he felt a lot of pressure.

During the National Day Golden Week, the box office of "Ip Man" has exceeded 5000 million, and the final box office should be around [-] million.

As for his own "Crazy Racing", which is the company's last closing film this year, it would be too embarrassing if the box office was too poor.

After the National Day holiday, the company sent to Lychee Terrace to form a team to work on "If You Are the One", and several TV series were also being filmed as normal.

Boss Cao doesn’t need to take care of these matters personally, but focuses on Fei’e Video’s second financing and choosing a new company address.

Fei'e Video is firmly at the top of domestic video websites and its position cannot be shaken.

The market value is higher than that of all other video websites such as Youku and Sohu combined. This allows Boss Cao to completely take the initiative and just wait for others to send money.

This time, Boss Cao wants to switch from shotgun to cannon and play a bigger one.

……

Hangzhou, an internal conference room at Ahri's headquarters.

"Chongxin, when will Jingdong go public?"

Ma Yun looked at her several senior executives with sinking faces.

Cai Chongxin looked at the information she received and replied: "After Double Eleven this year."

"double eleven"

When it comes to Double Eleven, Ma Yun feels that this is a pain in his heart. He has to pay a fee to Jingdong every year, which makes him feel like a thorn in his back and feels very uncomfortable.

The main reason for this expense is that the higher the sales volume, the more money will be given. This is simply taking advantage of Ali.

After pondering for a while, he suggested: "Can we not use the Double Eleven promotion and create a similar one ourselves?"

"What does Mr. Ma mean?"

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Mr. Ma meant.

Double Eleven has become famous, and this day every year has become a shopping festival in the hearts of many consumers.

Would it be effective to build something similar?
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Ma Yun said: "What I mean is to create a similar one to replace Double Eleven, such as Double Twelve or something."

"Double Twelve?"

Cai Chongxin sighed: "Mr. Ma, if you create another one, firstly, the influence will be too low. Secondly, it will cause fatigue to consumers and is not conducive to the development of the online shopping industry. Moreover, promoting a new shopping festival will also require a large amount of funds. investment.”

"Are we just going to let Jingdong take away a lot of money from us every year?"

Ma Yun was still unhappy: "Even if there is fatigue, the impact will not be on our family."

Ahri’s current Double Eleven transactions are nearly [-] billion, and it has to give JD more than [-] million every year. Who wouldn’t feel sad?

"Mr. Ma, it's not advisable to kill the fish or destroy the net!"

Zhang Yong, another veteran of Ali, also advised: "And the patent is only valid for ten years. Four years have passed. There is no need to create another one."

"There are still six years left. How much will we lose in these six years? Even if we don't care about these, people in the circle already feel that Jingdong is the boss and we are the second ones!"

Ma Yun has actually been thinking about creating a new shopping festival for a long time.

Money is one thing, and on the other hand, Ahli doesn't want to be suppressed by Jingdong all the time.

Shame, shame.

Everyone saw that Mr. Ma had made up his mind, but they didn't know how to persuade him.

Cai Chongxin hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Ma, are we still promoting this year's Double Eleven?"

Seeing that everyone no longer objected, Ma Yun said: "This year is the last time! However, Double 3000 also needs to be publicized, and [-] million will be allocated to the marketing department as publicity funds to try to replace Double [-] next year!" "I understand, Mr. Ma .”

Everyone nodded, and Cai Chongxin began to discuss the next topic: "Mr. Ma, we are ready to go public. What instructions does Mr. Ma have in this regard?"

Ma Yun said calmly: "Since Jingdong is scheduled to be in November, we will not meet Jingdong after New Year's Day."

"Yes!"

Although they deliberately avoid Jingdong, their biggest enemy, and appear to be showing weakness, everyone understands that if they are listed together, one's stock price will soar and the other's will fall apart, and then they will become a laughing stock.

In this regard, Mr. Ma’s decision was very wise.

After discussing a few more things, Ma Yun looked at her watch and said, "If there's nothing else, let's break up the meeting."

"Mr. Ma, Flying Goose Video"

Cai Chongxin took out another piece of information and said, "Fei'e Video is preparing for its second round of financing. Have you always been interested in video websites? Do you want to take a look?"

"Well, you make arrangements and the two of us go together."

Ma Yun is indeed very interested in video websites. He had wanted to acquire Youku before, but the plan had not yet taken shape.

Now that Fei'e is raising funds, let's go and see the situation first. If we can get some benefits, we can get some benefits. At the worst, we can learn something.

After waiting for the listing, you can acquire Youku and create a second Feigo.

Monday, October 07, [-], sunny.

"Mr. Ren, welcome, welcome, I didn't expect you to come so early."

"Mr. Wang, I didn't expect you Sequoia to be very proactive."

"Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you are still so young. Please sit inside."

"Brother Lu, Brother Dong, why did you come here? Someone arrived earlier than you."

"Mr. Xiong, thank you IDG for supporting our Fei Ge."

……

Cao Yu's face was a little stiff when he smiled, but he felt happy in his heart, because these people, except Ren Zhengfei, came to discuss cooperation, everyone else came here for the shares of their own company.

At this time, Cao Yu saw two familiar figures walking in.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Cai, you are here too. Welcome."

Cao Yu was really surprised to see these two people. Logically speaking, Ma Yun was his opponent, so he didn't expect them to come.

"Mr. Cao, we are just here to take a look and learn."

Although Ma Yun was smiling, she kept her posture very low in her words.

Cao Yu could only say politely: "Mr. Ma, I'm really embarrassed when you say that. I have nothing to learn from Mr. Ma."

"Mr. Cao is young and the company is developing so well. There are still many things I can learn from."

Ma Yun said, and then asked tentatively: "Mr. Cao, when do you plan to go public?"

"I'm still very early."

Cao Yu did not hide it. He planned to launch the product in two or three years.

After letting everyone into the office, Cao Yu glanced at the group of reporters taking pictures around him and shook his head.

Although this financing was just a commercial activity, it still caused quite a stir in the financial circle.

At this time, the seats in the entire conference room were full, and reporters were lined up along the wall, waiting to record the grand financing of China's largest video website.

Ma Yun was sitting in the middle, looking at the big guys in the investment world, and said to Cai Chongxin next to her: "It's just a website, but it's doing what Huayi does. Boss Cao isn't afraid of screwing it up?"

"It's hard to say, but video websites are a rising industry and cannot be compared to Huayi."

Although Cai Chongxin was optimistic about Fei'e Video, his words changed: "The amount of financing he raised this time is not small. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

"A small video website wants to raise a billion dollars. It's crazy to think about money."

Ma Yun smiled contemptuously and thought to herself: "One billion US dollars, I used 40% of Ahri's shares in exchange for it. Cao Yu is really an outsider."

At this time, in the conference room, just like Huayi last time, Fei'e Video and the development history of Fei'e Network Technology Co., Ltd. were also played.

Although Ma Yun had some contempt for Cao Yu's big talk this time, he was still surprised when he saw the number of members and revenue figures on Fei'e Video.

"Has Fei'e developed so fast? There are more than 2 million members, of which more than 8000 million are paid members."

It was clearly displayed on the big screen that Fei'e Video's monthly membership plus advertising generated nearly one billion in revenue. This figure deeply hurt Ma Yun's heart, and at the same time, it strengthened his determination to build a video website. .

“Chongxin, when we go public, go buy Youku!”

Ma Yun explained, and then she felt that if she could invest in Fei'e Video, she might be able to cash out when it goes public, and the income should be good.
