You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 388

Xia Lian didn't know much about the "PTT money-making flow" and didn't know what the respected Mr. Qin in front of her was planning.

After all, I was still relatively inexperienced at that time and had never heard of this kind of gameplay, so naturally I didn't understand the boss's ideas.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and didn't explain too much.

He thought of making a concept PPT first, and then raising money to do it slowly. Once he had enough money and technical strength, he would definitely launch a science fiction film and television project.

To create science fiction, you must start with special effects, and the level of special effects is related to the quality of film and television dramas.

As we all know, special effects are very expensive, and every frame is made with money.

The future development of the cultural and entertainment industry is inseparable from the special effects industry, and Qin Shaoyan wants to try to make some arrangements in this area.

He doesn’t have any funds for the time being, but he has a unique advantage.

That is, he has a plug-in, the "system game engine".

Although he doesn't know the limits of this "system game engine", judging from the engine's current performance, it is an all-round player.

Qin Shaoyan naturally would not waste its function and would fully develop its potential.

Of course, when setting up a film and television special effects studio, you won’t start with your own projects right away, but will start with outsourcing.

Practice and learn while outsourcing, and try again after accumulating experience.

Film and TV director Xia Lian hesitated for a long time before cautiously saying, "Boss Qin, science fiction is too niche. The domestic film and TV drama market is full of martial arts, romance, workplace, idols, etc. No one is doing science fiction."

"The market for this is too small, and there is no relevant experience or talent in China. Isn't it a bit... risky to engage in science fiction?"

Young Master Qin said earnestly, "It is precisely because no one is doing it that we have to do it."

“Mediocre people race on crowded tracks, while geniuses carve out their own tracks.”

"The domestic science fiction market is currently blank. What does this mean?"

“This is a blue ocean, waiting for us to develop.”

"Don't say that science fiction movies have a small audience. Just look at those Hollywood science fiction blockbusters. How many people in China like to watch them? The box office is booming."

“It’s not that there are few sci-fi films, but that China doesn’t make sci-fi films, so naturally no one watches them.”

Looking at President Qin's confident look, Xia Lian had a lot of things to say but didn't dare to say them.

Even if you have a thousand reasons, the other party is the boss.

Whatever the boss says is what it is. You'd better not go against him.

Xia Lian was not a newcomer in the workplace, and she was also timid, so she had no choice but to listen to President Qin's lecture.

"Draft a project plan for me first." Qin Shaoyan ordered, "First revise the script and let me know, then we can talk about the rest."

"But..." Xia Lian hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Qin Shaoyan said seriously, "No buts, just do as I say."

"No, boss." Xia Lian said stiffly, "You haven't finished writing the novel yet, how can you write the script?"

"Oh, this one." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment, "I'll make up for the rest when I have time. Okay, I will definitely update, so don't rush me."

Haha, I believe you.

Xia Lian complained wildly in her heart, "Last time you said you would give me an outline for a spy drama script, but now, let alone an outline, I haven't even seen a new document created."

I don’t know when we will be able to see the sequel of this science fiction work. Maybe I will forget about it in a few days.

"Oh, there's one more thing." Qin Shaoyan took out another stack of documents from his bag and pushed them directly to Xia Lian. "This is an advertising plan. Find someone to take a photo for me. Bring the sample over to me after you're done."

"Remember, this must be done as soon as possible. It has the highest priority."

"Okay, Mr. Qin." Xia Lian quickly picked up the advertising plan and took a look at it, her eyes suddenly widened.

Is this also called an advertising plan?

What a mess. Who wrote this?

"Boss Qin..." Xia Lian looked at Qin Shaoyan with a strange expression, "This plan...did you get it by mistake?"

"No, I wrote this plan myself, so I won't get it wrong." Qin Shaoyan asked, "Any questions?"

"No... no problem." Xia Lian smiled awkwardly, then hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said, "Boss Qin, the style of your advertising plan... isn't it a little too... "

"Do you think this is a bit ahead of the times?" Qin Shaoyan laughed. "It doesn't matter. Just shoot it as I wrote. I'll be responsible if there are any problems in the end. You don't have to worry."

Am I worried about being blamed?
I am worried about social death!
In what mental state were you when you wrote this?

Xia Lian was completely desperate. Why were other people's bosses all overbearing and extremely cold? They were either high-end international or nouveau riche who spent money like water and were extremely vulgar?

But my boss is a psychopath.

"Remember, do it as soon as possible." Qin Shaoyan once again solemnly reminded, "The online game project on the campus network needs to be promoted and warmed up, and they are waiting for this advertisement."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Xia Lian could only accept her fate and lower her head.

Anyway, this plan was written by you, boss, and it was made for the campus network, so it's okay as long as you don't mind being embarrassed.

Qin Shaoyan waved his hand. "I have finished speaking. Do you have anything to say?"

"Well, Mr. Qin." Xia Lian raised her hand and said, "The TV series "Drawing Sword" will be broadcast on CCTV-1. Our Qvod website will be updated a few days later than CCTV. Do we still need to select promotional materials in advance?"

"Why a few days later?" Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Can't one day later be enough?"

"I'm afraid that won't work." Xia Lian was a little embarrassed. "This is CCTV's request."

"Okay, I get it." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Forget it this time. The next time we invest in a TV series, it can only be delayed by one day at most."

"Oh." Xia Lian nodded. "Also, 'Wulin Wai Zhuan' has been almost finished filming and is in post-production. We have already negotiated with CCTV and it will premiere in January next year."

Having said this, Xia Lian puffed out her chest with pride.

She didn't do it simply to take credit, but more to show off her sense of accomplishment.

She has been busy since she started working, not daring to slack off for the moment. She didn't even have a few days of vacation, but she finally managed to complete the two projects.

Kou Hongfei and others were also cheered up after hearing the series of good news. They all smiled and applauded spontaneously.

"Director Xia is amazing. He is indeed a talent from Hollywood."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Xia. The film and television department has achieved great results. In the future, Qvod.com will rely on you to produce more content."

Xia Lian quickly said modestly: "In fact, I didn't do anything. The projects were all selected by President Qin. President Qin is far-sighted and has a unique vision."

Kuaibo Film and Television Company achieved a successful start right after its establishment. Two TV series it invested in consecutively were bought by CCTV, which shows that the film and television department is very capable.

Qvod.com has received good news frequently. The financial prospects of this video website are really getting brighter and brighter!

It has evolved from a simple user upload and sharing website to a copyright distribution, film and television investment and production and other fields. While other video websites are still exploring in confusion, Qvod has quickly got on the right track.

Our Qvod website is so awesome!
As expected of Mr. Qin, everyone says he is the one who knows the most about video websites, and his reputation is well-deserved.

The video website has a clear operational strategy and its development is extremely smooth.

It is no exaggeration to call him the father of Internet video sites.

Under the wise leadership of President Qin, they believe that QVOD will be close to going public.

In the future, we may all follow President Qin to Nasdaq in the United States to ring the bell. It’s exciting to think about it.

Qin Shaoyan was also very satisfied with the performance of the film and television department, especially Xia Lian's abilities.

Everyone can make plans and talk big, and there are a lot of people who make PPTs, but there are very few who can actually implement them and complete them successfully.

Qin Shaoyan selected two projects based on his memory. It would be a dream to expect results just by investing money.

The money you invested was easily wasted, and you still can't find any fault with it.

Therefore, there must be a knowledgeable and capable person to supervise so that the other party can do the work honestly.

For now, Xia Lian is doing very well and can be trained as a key person and will be responsible for the entire film, television and entertainment sector in the future.

"Director Xia has made an invaluable contribution. I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year," Qin Shaoyan said casually. "Also, we need to promote the two dramas, 'Bright Sword' and 'Wulin Waijiao', and President Kou needs to cooperate more. The company will approve the funds, so don't be reluctant to promote them."

"After all, we have invested money in these two dramas, so good ratings are also good for us."

Kou Hongfei agreed, and after the meeting everyone's morale gradually increased.

When a company continues to achieve good performance, the morale of the team will also rise, creating a positive feedback loop.

Now that Qvod.com is gradually improving and seeing a bright future, most people will work hard to show themselves and take advantage of this rapid growth period to gain the greatest benefits.

Then everyone from Qvod.com rushed to report some of their achievements to President Qin, and the meeting ended in a warm atmosphere.

Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "That's all for today, the meeting is adjourned."

Everyone stood up and walked out of the meeting room, but Kou Hongfei did not move. He looked at Qin Shaoyan as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Qin Shaoyan noticed that his expression was not right, so he asked curiously: "Mr. Kou, what do you want to say to me?"

Kou Hongfei hesitated for a moment, then asked in a somewhat tangled tone, "Uh, Mr. Qin, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Don't say that." Qin Shaoyan replied expressionlessly.

"..." Kou Hongfei's face turned red and he was silenced for a moment.

Qin Shaoyan burst into laughter, "Boss Kou, why are you trying to do this to me?"

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't stand different opinions?"

"I know honest advice is hard to hear, but feel free to say whatever you want to say. We don't want to be a one-man show."

"It's like this, Mr. Qin." Kou Hongfei sorted out his feelings and thoughts and said carefully, "Maybe I don't understand it well enough, and my thinking is not mature enough."

"I think that our cooperation with Yiku.com is a little... a little too close. I'm worried that this will lead to disaster."

"It would be more appropriate to say that you are letting a wolf into the house." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

Kou Hongfei looked a little embarrassed, "I know Mr. Qin has his own considerations."

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and said seriously, "You are worried that Yiku.com will become bigger and become the biggest threat to Qvod.com, right?"

"YouTube and Microsoft are behind Yiku.com. Mr. Qin, we have to be on guard." Kou Hongfei said solemnly, "Now one-third of the content on Qvod.com still comes from YouTube. Microsoft is also very wealthy. It will be difficult for us to deal with the combination of the two. I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand the competition in the future."

"There will be no future." Qin Shaoyan said lightly.

"What?" Kou Hongfei was stunned, not understanding what Qin Shaoyan meant.

"Yiku.com cannot grow to the point where it poses a major threat to Qvod." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Remember, I said this."

"You don't have to worry about Yiku.com. Even Sohu Video may be a bigger threat than it."

Kou Hongfei looked stunned and puzzled, "Why?"

Qin Shaoyan hesitated for two seconds and said slowly: "The specific reasons are very complicated. I will briefly tell you a few."

"First, the current situation of video websites is, to put it nicely, a situation where a hundred flowers bloom and many heroes emerge. To put it bluntly, it is a situation where a group of demons dance in disorder, with all kinds of things appearing."

"This situation will not last long. Administrative agencies will inevitably step in to rectify the situation, and then the industry will undergo a major reshuffle."

"Video websites will form a threshold, and one of the important conditions is a video website license, which we already have."

“I don’t know if it’s difficult for other video websites to get it, but Yiku.com definitely can’t get it.”

"Do you remember the positioning I gave to video websites? In the future, they will have the same status as TV stations."

"You should know the status of television stations in our country. It is impossible to give such an important thing to a wholly American-owned company. The license review will be a hindrance to it."

Kou Hongfei thought about it and it seemed to make sense, but he couldn't be sure.

After China joined the WTO and opened up in various ways, American Internet companies entered China and competed with local companies.

Qin Shaoyan said slowly: "What I want to say is the second point. The reason why Yiku.com cannot be a threat is because it is an American Internet company."

"If you look at what happened to those Internet companies that entered China, you will know that they will not succeed."

"The American management has a rigid mindset and is extremely arrogant. They have little trust in the local team, lack understanding of the Chinese market, and are unwilling to investigate and change."

"It's ridiculous. The Internet is the latest high-tech trend, but the thinking is rigid and not enterprising. If we apply the American experience to the Chinese market, it will definitely not work."

"What's there to be afraid of against such an opponent?"

After listening to Qin Shaoyan's explanation, Kou Hongfei's doubts were mostly dispelled, but he still felt a little unsure.

"Boss Qin, the advantage of Qvod is its rich resources of authentic movies and TV shows. Now that they have been opened to Yiku, we no longer have any competitive advantage."

"How can we not have a competitive advantage?" Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The content on YouTube is our competitive advantage."

"Ah?!" Kou Hongfei was confused. What kind of advantage is this?

"Boss Qin, we can use YouTube content, and we can also use Yiku.com."

"They can use it, but what they use is different from what we use." Qin Shaoyan said slowly, "The YouTube resources we get are translated by the subtitle group, but what they use are all raw videos."

"Besides, I don't believe that the people at Yiku.com would take the initiative to add subtitles to those resources."

Kou Hongfei frowned, "What if they just use the resources we translated?"

"That's against the rules." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "You know, subtitles are also copyrighted."
