Reborn Cultural Empire

It is already the end of 1999, December 12nd.

Eight days ago, on December 8, the Panama Canal handover ceremony was held at the Miraflores lock near Panama City. Panamanian President Mireya Moscoso and former Citigroup President Carter represented the governments of the two countries. An exchange of notes on the transfer of sovereignty and jurisdiction over the canal was signed.So far, this "golden waterway" that connects the North and South American continents and communicates with the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean has truly become the "Panama Canal".

In addition, there are things that have a far-reaching impact on the Chinese people-two days ago, the Chinese and Portuguese governments held a solemn handover ceremony on the island of Australia.The president of the country announced that the Chinese government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over the island of Australia, and announced the establishment of the special administrative region government of the island of Australia of the Republic of China. The development of the island of Australia has since entered a new era.

Not only the daily events that happened around him, but also these major events that will be recorded in the history annals are also part of the rebirth for Yang Yi.Perhaps in his previous life, he didn't care too much about these things, many of them were just a line of headlines in the newspaper, or a sentence broadcast by the host on the TV screen.But now, after personally experiencing the fantastic event of rebirth, every time something that can overlap with the trajectory of the previous life happened, Yang Yi couldn't help being in a trance, a bit like Zhouzhuang Mengdie's psychedelic feeling.

It's just that some things are bound to change, just like now, because of the knowledge from different eras, he can come up with ideas far beyond this era, and Rogo can't help but admire.

"I remember that in the 80s, someone got a few trains of cheap goods from China in a whimsical way. He exchanged a few planes from Russia and made hundreds of millions. This money made him the richest man in mainland China for a while, and later became the richest Lie. It seems to be called Mou Qizhong, right?" Yang Yi looked at his bright eyes, and he was a fat boss who praised him fiercely, and smiled: "Anyone can have a whimsical dream, but only the final winner can stand in the place of victory." On the stage of the creators, let the later people admire and worship them. So I have confidence in my creativity, but the final result depends on whether the anime fans buy it or not.”

Wei An's eyes fluttered next to her, and she couldn't help expressing her opinion again: "How come we are all surprised by your creativity. Xiaoyi, you yourself are humble again? I think these things are very interesting, at least as me. Personally, applying traditional folk skills to the field of modern animation animation has a great possibility of being a hit."

As for Qiu Yuan, he naturally had nothing to say.But what has nothing to say is Yang Yi's creativity, not the evaluation of Yang Yi himself.After thinking about it, he shook his head and smiled with an indescribable expression on his face: "At first, I thought some of your ideas, Mr. Yang, were indeed too idealistic, and it made people feel that it was impossible to work. But now I know After your specific planning, you will find that the thinking of different people is indeed very different from each other. When ordinary people like me hear about traditional culture, the first reaction is that it does not match the Comic Con. But it’s changed to you to operate. Immediately let the two integrate flawlessly together, it’s really a feeling of turning decay into magic. To be honest, although I am a financial officer, but because of my previous employment experience, the specific business of the company is not I understand it very well. But after listening to Director Yang’s plan, I also feel that it is very powerful. I will not say more good things. I reserve my opinion on this plan for the time being.”

"Is it just a reservation? Don't you think my planning is very powerful?" Yang Yi couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Yes, in principle, this plan should not require too much investment, but for specific things, I have to read your old man's business plan before discussing it. If the cost of inviting folk artists is not high, I will naturally pay a hundred I agree, but if the expenditure is too high, then no matter how good the plan is, I can't agree to it. Unless the two bosses provide enough funds now, Yangyi Network will not ask me for the money to buy additional servers. "Qiu Yuan smiled slyly, expressing that he was helpless too.

Yang Yi waved his hand: "Persevere, it won't be long before the cold winter of the Internet, and our life will be much easier by then."

Apart from mentioning this historical event when discussing with Ye Chuan, the boy never talked about it with anyone else.So at this moment, when they suddenly heard this statement, they all looked at him suspiciously.Rogo even stepped forward, touched his forehead, and then muttered to himself: "This kid doesn't have a fever, why is he talking such nonsense all of a sudden?"

In fact, I couldn’t help being fat, I was not surprised, and even deliberately ran on him. According to the current development trend of the domestic Internet, as long as it is a so-called entrepreneurial project with Internet concepts, even if they were the lowest-level programmers in the IT industry before, they can do it. Get chased by money-wielding VC capital.These investors don't know that the so-called model is actually fatally flawed. As long as it is related to the Internet, they are willing to invest money.This is not only in foreign countries, but also in China. In this crazy environment, what Yang Yi said about the cold winter of the Internet will naturally make them extremely incomprehensible.

Regarding the doubts of the three, the boy didn't say anything, and he didn't even think about trying to convince the other party. It's useless to say something that is purely a waste of words but has no benefit.Besides, they are all on their own, as long as they don't hinder him in terms of grand strategy, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not.

Therefore, he took it as a summary of this opinion in one sentence: "Look again in three months, and then you will know whether what I said is true or false."

"Since you are so confident, you still want to maintain your investment in Yangyi Network?" Qiu Yuan thought it was incredible. If Yang Yi is extremely optimistic about the development of the Internet, then the other party should insist on investing in Yangyi Network. I understand, but now he says that it is the cold winter of the Internet, and that life will be easier at that time, no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't think that life is easier.

Yang Yi knew that some of the things he said had the greatest impact on Qiu Yuan, the financial officer, and it was also the issue that needed the most time to make arrangements to ensure that he could survive the cold winter safely.So he explained very patiently: "The broadband leasing contract we signed with the telecommunications company will be finalized in March next year? By then, the bubble crisis will burst, so we can ask for a reduction in the leasing fee when negotiating the contract. At the same time, there are still more than two months left, and there is a major task for you, Mr. Qiu, to deal with. That is the contract with the current advertising agencies. No matter if it is a new customer or an old customer, we will discuss all of them. In the end, the longer the contract period for providing advertising search services, the better, but before that, the first thing to guarantee is to prepay all advertising bidding fees, and full payment is the first priority, followed by a long contract period.”

"Mr. Yang, you mean to grab the Internet winter—well, actually, I still have my own opinions on this formulation—before the Internet winter arrives. First, get money from those customers of Yangyi Network. A sum?" Qiu Yuan is not very proficient in other businesses, but he is very sensitive to all financial issues.

Yang Yi smiled and nodded: "Of course."

"I really don't know where your self-confidence, Mr. Yang, comes from? If you don't know, maybe you will be regarded as a magic stick." Qiu Yuan shook his head, but still wrote down Yang Yi's order.

Besides, even if there is no Internet winter, as long as Yang Yi and Rogo have both passed the plan for advertisers, then he, the financial officer, has nothing to say and can only follow the rules.

Nodding, Yang Yi is like Qiu Yuan.Although he has his own independent views on some issues, he and Rogo are very satisfied with the meticulous implementation of the decision after they have made a decision: "So when the time comes, whether it is the purchase of server hardware or the rental cost of broadband will drop significantly. At that time, plus the advance payment of those advertisers, I think there will be no problem for Yangyi Network to achieve self-sufficiency within half a year. So at that time, even if it is in traditional folk art A little more expense. We can fully support it."

Rogo thought for a while, and finally agreed with this statement.

And seeing that the two top bosses both decided to make a strategy.The remaining two didn't say anything, but prepared to work according to Yang Yi's instructions.

Things arranged by the boys.It's not difficult to say, but the complexity is very prohibitive.

According to the list he gave, inspect the traditional folk skills in various regions of the Yangtze River Delta, find out which ones have the most authentic materials, and then contact those old artists and craftsmen to ask them about their intention to participate in the animation exhibition.Compared with the list of intangible cultural heritage of later generations, Yang Yi's initial list is naturally much less, because at present, it has to cooperate with the radiation range of animation, so even the invitation list of these traditional cultures is limited to the Yangtze River Delta - Kunqu Opera, Sericulture and silk weaving techniques, Jinling brocade, Longquan celadon, seal cutting, paper-cutting, clay sculpture, Hai Ning shadow puppetry, Yuezhou Xiuhu White Snake legend, Jigong legend.It doesn't seem like much, especially compared with the long list of intangible cultural heritage lists of later generations. The first batch of traditional culture lists selected by Yang Yi don't even have one or two percent of the latter.

But these things are the most representative traditional cultures in the Yangtze River Delta and Jiangnan region.

Of course, the range of sericulture and silk weaving skills is relatively wide. In fact, Jinling Yunjin, the first of the three famous brocades in China, is included in the sericulture and silk weaving skills. It was delineated because besides Jinling, there are many local silk weaving techniques in Jiangnan Province, which can be ranked first in the whole country.As for the Legend of the White Snake and the Legend of Jigong by the Xiuhu Lake in Yuezhou, although this material is old-fashioned, there is not much room for him, a reborn person, to play.

Yang Yi is even confident that he can use the same folklore to create three or four completely different cosplay scripts, ensuring that those who have never experienced anime fandom will be shocked obediently.

He was even thinking about it. If it wasn't for worrying about starting a spoof and blackening Jigong, who has always been full of positive energy, the boys would want to come up with a script like "Dark Jigong Biography". Ji Gong, described by a conspiracy theorist, pretended to be a good man for an ulterior purpose, and he was excited just thinking about it.

However, after comprehensive consideration, Yang Yi still gave up this tempting idea, and planned to directly disclose this idea, so anyone who likes to try can try it. (To be continued..)
