China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 325 The Development of Oil Pipelines

When Shang Meiyun called Annie, Annie was picking up Zhang Nanyi at the airport.

Seeing Zhang Nanyi walking out of the exit wearing sunglasses, Annie, who hadn't seen her man for a long time, was very excited. How could she answer her cousin's call?

Even more excited than Anne was Sanxin’s little princess Li Yinxin.

This quiet-looking beauty started on the spot and ran towards Zhang Nanyi, but was almost stopped by Zhang Nanyi's accompanying bodyguards.

It was Zhang Nanyi who stopped the bodyguard in time, and Li Yinxin successfully threw herself into Zhang Nanyi's arms.

The little princess Sanxin buried her head in Zhang Nanyi's chest and took a deep breath.

Then he sighed contentedly, with a happy smile on his face.

Seeing Li Yinxin's movements and expressions, Annie laughed and said, "Hey, you look a little bit vulgar like this, it's like you were taking a drug, your legs must have gone weak after you took that breath just now.

How about letting Nan Yi hold you all the time? I'm afraid you won't be able to walk now. "

Li Yinxin said in a disgusting way: "I think about Oppa every day, which is no different from being poisoned.

Ever since I learned that Obama was coming to the United States in May, I have been counting the days every day, hoping that this day will come as soon as possible. "

Zhang Nanyi touched Li Yinxin's head and said: "I will stay in the United States for about ten days, Niuyu for four days, and Luoshanji for six days. If you are willing, you can be my little secretary in the United States and help me with arrangements and planning. Good trip.”

Zhang Nanyi spent half of the album's overseas promotion in the United States, with the main cities in New York and Los Angeles.

Originally, Warner also arranged for cities such as Chicago and Houston, but Zhang Nanyi rejected it. He didn't want to fly in the sky all the time, it was too tiring.

Li Yinxin heard Zhang Nanyi's words, kissed him on the face, and said happily: "Of course I am willing, Secretary Li is online."

Annie watched Li Yinxin become Zhang Nanyi's personal secretary, and the look of envy on her face flashed away.

She also wanted to follow Zhang Nanyi throughout the whole process, but YouTube's development was at a critical stage and she was busy with work and couldn't leave.

But this was not a problem for Annie. She said to Zhang Nanyi charmingly: "Mr. Zhang, come and have a look at our company's office space. My office is very luxurious and has good sound insulation.

Now that you have a secretary, you must use it. "

Zhang Nanyi moved slightly and looked at Annie, who was dressed in professional formal attire. The white shirt was stretched out very much, forming an unusually full arc. Under the hip-covering skirt, there was a firm and round peach butt. The ultimate waist-to-hip ratio made It's hard to look away.

Today I came to pick up Zhang Nanyi. Annie was obviously dressed up carefully. Her hair was dyed into long and wavy hair, full of style, and she also wore glasses without lenses on her face, which added a bit of bookishness.

Wearing glasses looks very serious, but you can't hide your sexiness. On the contrary, it can arouse men's desire to conquer.

Especially after Annie brought Zhang Nanyi to YouTube's office, everything became even more perfect.

YouTube’s office location is in the Time Warner Building, a twin-tower building that was completed and put into use last year.

The model of China Resources Mixc that was later developed in China was similar to that of the Time Warner Building. There were two office buildings A and B, and the connection below the building was a high-end retail mall.

Because it is a newly built office building, the decoration is very gorgeous and the office environment is very good.

Annie rented an entire floor on the 52nd floor of Building A. Her office was indeed large and had a great view. It had a huge floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the street view of Manhattan.

The same scenery, viewed from different angles, will give you different feelings.

Zhang Nan grabbed Annie's long wavy hair and looked outside. He felt that the whole of New York was under his feet, and he felt full of accomplishment.

For a while, I used the high-heeled shoes as my sight coordinates to deeply feel the prosperity of Niuyue.

You can also feel the wisdom of Niuyue City as deep as the sea from the head of Li Yinxin, the childhood secretary, fixed on the floor-to-ceiling window.

Zhang Nanyi truly enjoyed the excellent view of Anne's office from all angles, and experienced the happy life of dating the upper class.

After admiring the scenery, Zhang Nanyi sat comfortably on the large office chair.

Li Yinxin arranged her clothes and stood behind him to squeeze his shoulders, while Annie began to report on the development of YouTube.

Only Zhang Nanyi doesn't smoke, otherwise he would light up a cigarette at this time, showing his absolute boss style.

Annie's voice was a little hoarse, she had overused the scenery just now. She said: "It has been established for three months. YouTube now has 110 million registered users and the peak number of daily visits is around 350 million. Several venture capital institutions have already approached me. .

The company's biggest expenses now include high broadband costs and legal team salaries and litigation costs.

I think it’s time for the company to raise its first round of funding.

After getting the money, I have to do three things. The first is to cultivate excellent video broadcasters and continue to upload interesting video content to the website. The second is to strengthen cooperation with traditional video content producers such as TV stations to obtain high-quality content. The third step is to start building an advertising team and explore the company's profit model. "

The business environment in the United States is completely different from that in China. Daju.com and YouTube are both video websites, but the situations they face are very different.

When YouTube was first established, it also needed massive video content to attract and retain users.

Otherwise, if you have a video website with only a few dozen videos, they will be gone after watching them, and users will naturally leave.Therefore, in order to develop in the early stage, YouTube also edited and even pirated a lot of high-quality film and television content.

However, the protection of intellectual property rights in the United States is very strict. Although these pirated accounts are nominally the spontaneous actions of registered YouTube users, they are also infringements when posted on the YouTube platform.

In addition, foreign users also have a strong awareness of personal rights. The copyright ownership of videos posted by registered users, user privacy, if you delete or block a user's video, he will sue you, etc.

There are many disputes of all kinds, so since the establishment of YouTube, in addition to broadband costs, the expenditure on the legal team is also very high.

Annie is also aware of this problem. After the company grows bigger, it is obvious that it will not last long if it is sidelined. It needs to get more money. On the one hand, it cultivates high-quality content creators, and on the other hand, it purchases or co-creates some content with TV stations. Premium content.

Thereby attracting more users and exploring the company's profit model and advertising business.

Zhang Nanyi nodded and said: "There is no need to give the first round of financing to others. My fund in the United States can lead the investment."

Annie asked a little surprised: "Didn't you say before that you want to avoid suspicion? Don't let YouTube get involved with Chinese capital, and I plan to raise 2000 million yuan, which is not a small amount.

Will it delay your other investments? "

Zhang Nanyi shook his head and said: "After I come in in the first round, I can just take two or three rounds and sell them, and I can make more money.

As for funds, there is no need to use any money from the stock market. The transfer contract for MySpace shares has been signed. My shares were sold to News Corporation, and soon 1.5 million yuan was credited to the account. You can raise as little or as little as you want. "

Under Gao Qunyao's offline bridge, Zhang Nanyi sold his MySpace shares at a price 500 million yuan higher than in his previous life. Zhang Nanyi was very satisfied.

According to the contract, the money will be transferred to the fund account no later than May 5.

Annie's eyes lit up when she heard Zhang Nanyi's words, and she said excitedly: "Do you have any arrangements for the 1.5 million? If not, it would be best to give it all to YouTube.

With this money, my other strategies can be advanced faster and I don’t have to develop them in small steps. "

Regarding YouTube, Zhang Nanyi only occasionally gave her some development suggestions when chatting with Anne, but he did not interfere in the specific operation.

So Zhang Nanyi asked: "What is your strategy? Tell me carefully. It's not impossible to give money to YouTube, but you have to show sincerity."

Annie misunderstood and thought Zhang Nanyi was playing a little game, so she rolled her eyes at him charmingly and lowered her head.

Zhang Nanyi: "..."

Although it was a misunderstanding, Zhang Nanyi was very comfortable and did not stop.

After a long time, Annie's voice became hoarse.

Zhang Nanyi then said: "I want you to tell me your strategy and ideas. 1.5 million yuan is not a small amount."

New York is a paradise for capital. With a cash flow of 1.5 million yuan, as long as it is operated properly, it can easily leverage billions of dollars of funds.

Although this kind of large investment is Zhang Nanyi's money, left hand rather than right hand, he still has to ask about it.

Anna said confidently: "I have studied the Internet companies you founded in China. Whether it is YY or Xiaonei.com, they all adopt a value-added charging model.

I think this model is very good and I want to put it on YouTube. "

Regarding the value-added charging model, Zhang Nanyi was also inspired by QQ in his previous life.

All basic services of a product are free. Users can use the basic functions of the product without spending any money, thus maintaining the market competitiveness of the product.

However, paying members can enjoy some privileges to meet the needs of some people who want to show off their identities, thus ensuring profitability.

Not only YY, but Xiaonei.com also has a membership system.

Members of Xiaonei.com can have a shinier homepage decoration, have distinguished member medals, have shiny fonts for their moods, etc.

YY and Xiaonei.com can do this because both are social platforms, and people will use their own accounts to communicate with others, so there will be a lot of demand for identity differentiation.

Annie saw that Zhang Nanyi was listening carefully, so she continued: "The market in the United States is different from that in China. The per capita income here is higher, and there are more users who are willing to pay for virtual products and high-quality content.

My tenet is that content is king. As long as YouTube has enough interesting content, it can attract users.

Relying solely on advertising revenue is too single a revenue model. We rely too much on external channels such as broadcasters and TV stations to produce content, and we do not have enough voice.Once you meet a competitor, it is difficult to win.

So I think we should walk on two legs. Combining advertising revenue with a free model is one route, and combining self-produced high-quality content with on-demand and membership systems is also a route.

Only with two parallel lines, YouTube's development will be healthier. "

What Anne said makes sense. The reason why YouTube grew better and better in its previous life was that it relied solely on advertising revenue. A big reason was that it relied on Google and its powerful advertising distribution channels.

Nowadays, Zhang Nanyi’s YouTube will at most accept Google as a shareholder and will definitely not be acquired.

Without Google's advertising support, YouTube's development model that relies solely on advertising revenue is indeed very risky.
