Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

With the end of the commercial espionage incident, everything in Xingyuan quickly returned to normal.

The game should be played, and the card should be painted.

The Xiaopo Station APP made by Wang Jing has also been basically completed and has entered the testing stage.

This APP is similar to the APP launched by Xiaopo Station in the previous life, but since 1.0, this APP has been equipped with a membership purchase function.

The exclusive supply channels on the island country have been settled. How can we not make a fortune at this time?

It is worth mentioning that the monthly traffic of Xiaopo Station has exceeded 55 million, which is a very good number.

Of course, it is far worse than the old video sites like Tudou.

Not long ago, Tudou announced that their monthly unique user visits reached 116 million in December 2010.

What's even more frightening is that Tudou was still on the rise at this time. Luo Fan remembered that in December 2011 in his previous life, Tudou had 227 million monthly visits.

The reason why Xiaopo Station can have such a rapid growth rate is the drainage of the three feature-length animations "Naruto", "One Piece" and "Detective Conan".

In the follow-up, Gao Meng also continued to cooperate with the island country to purchase some of their new excellent dramas.

Now there is only Xiaopozhan, the only Huaxia company willing to spend money on island TV dramas, and the price paid is basically the same as the price purchased by domestic TV stations, which is a very important income.

They also get dividends for the things that Xiaopo Station members buy and sell. With the help of membership purchases, BD, the most important source of income for Fanju, can also be sold in Huaxia.

Many animation production companies regard Xiaopozhan as an important customer, and Xiaopozhan relies on cooperative sales with the island country and self-made peripheral sales, plus the income of the online store, to basically maintain a balance of income and expenditure, and sometimes even Make a small profit, which is already very difficult for a video website.

Both Xiaopozhan and the animation production company in the island country have made money, and the relationship between the two sides is naturally getting more and more harmonious.

It is no exaggeration to say that the companies in the island country now hope that Xiaopozhan can develop for a long time and develop brilliantly more than Xingyuan.

By mid-April, 14 of the 24 movie theaters invested by Xingyuan had opened.

At present, Xingyuan Cinema has a total of 91 screens, which belong to a small theater chain. When the remaining 10 cinemas are opened, the number of screens will exceed 150. At that time, Xingyuan Cinema will also be regarded as a medium-sized theater chain.

At the same time, Cao Shuai also posted the joining announcement of Xingyuan Studios.

I want to expand the number of screens in Xingyuan Studios as soon as possible.

Just a week after Cao Shuai posted the announcement of joining, Penguin people came to Xingyuan and expressed their desire to talk about the cinema franchise plan.

Luo Fan was not surprised by the arrival of Penguins, because some time ago, Ali joined several small theater chains and also contacted Yida.

This is not good news for the Penguins, so they immediately countered and began to contact some domestic theaters.

In fact, long before Cao Shuai posted the announcement of joining, Ali's people had already come.

The price they gave is quite reasonable, 500 million to acquire 40% of the shares of Xingyuan Studios.

However, they demanded that Xingyuan Studios be split from Xingyuan and changed its name, and at the same time allowed Ali to send professional managers to the new company.

For this condition, Luo Fan refused without thinking.

Xingyuan Cinema is a part of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. It is not only a theater line, but also related to some of Luo Fan's later layouts. It can be split from the company, but it is absolutely impossible to change the name.

The cooperation between the two sides has not been negotiated, so Luo Fan asked Cao Shuai to issue an announcement.

The people from Penguin's side have much less requirements than Ali's side. They only care about whether the theater chain can make money or not. They are not interested in management, and they will not point fingers.

It's just that Penguin gave less money, and Penguin was only willing to pay 250 million for 30% of the shares.

This number did not meet Luo Fan's psychological expectations, so Cao Shuai and Penguin negotiated under Luo Fan's instruction.

In the end, the two parties settled on 300 million to acquire 30% of the shares of Xingyuan Studios.

With this funding, Xingyuan Studios will be able to carry out a second expansion.

Cao Shuai decided to spend 100 million to open a Xingyuan Cinema in the imperial capital, SZ, and CQ first, and then open a cinema in each provincial capital with the remaining money.

In this way, the number of cinemas in Xingyuan Studios will be 50, and the number of screens will be 350 to 400.

This volume can be regarded as the top five or even the top three theater chains in China.

Cao Shuai's intention is to be a vigorous and resolute person. He flew to the imperial capital as soon as possible to start the preparations for the cinema.

A month passed without knowing it. In mid-May, Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. became the first batch of companies to obtain payment licenses.

Originally, this kind of thing could not be done by Xingyuan. Although Xingyuan's current size is not small, it is still not in the eyes of GJ. The main reason is that Xingyuan's boss Luo Fan is only 20 years old this year, and he is going to college. age.

Now gj encourages college students to start their own businesses to ease employment pressure, which is why they have this license.

Luo Fan is naturally very happy about this. With the payment license, many things can be done, such as adding a red envelope function to Xingchao later, adding a scan code payment function, etc.

At the same time, the transformation of Xingyuan application platform also has another direction.

Previously, Luo Fan wanted to make the Xingyuan application platform into an APP in the form of a forum, similar to Mihayou's Miyou Club. The difference is that Luo Fan will add a download of all Xingyuan games on the Xingyuan application platform. Function.

But now, Luo Fan feels that he can dig deeper, such as adding the function of purchasing Xingyuan Cinemas movie tickets to the Xingyuan application platform.

Just as Luo Fan was thinking about how to do it, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in!"

As soon as Luo Fan finished speaking, Wang Jing pushed open the door and walked in.

"Boss, all the tests of the Xiaopo Station APP have been completed and can be released at any time. When do you think it will be launched?" Wang Jing said straight to the point.

"Wait first, Mr. Wang, our company has just obtained the payment license, and we can pay without the help of other third-party platforms. Remember to change this."

"Good boss."

"Is the recommendation mechanism of Xiaopo Station okay?"

"The boss can rest assured that the recommendation mechanism of Xiaopo Station is not a copy of the daily headlines, but a re-edit based on big data algorithms. There is absolutely no problem."

"That's good. If I think about the launch time, it will be set on June 1st. 6.1 Children's Day is very suitable for the two-dimensional users of Xiaopo Station."

"Then the boss wants to do something at that time?" Wang Jing asked.

"Members should buy and send some coupons! There's nothing else to give away. The main reason is that Xiaopo Station itself doesn't have any members, so I can't give it away even if I want to." Luo Fan replied after thinking about it.
