Chapter 1,244 Three Families (Happy National Day to all my book friends!)
"Mr. Jing, if you really want no restrictions on funds, then this matter will be simple. IQIYI will take over this job!"
iQiyi originally belonged to Baidu. After being acquired by Boss Jing, it became a subsidiary of the Phoenix Group. Video websites are a standard feature of major Internet companies.
At that time, Baidu was sold because Lu Qizai was serving as CEO and implementing the "All in AI" strategy. Therefore, the video website that had been losing blood was sold.
It was not all smooth sailing for Gong Yu after he came to Phoenix Group.
First, I was dragged by Mr. Jing to discuss the issue of the "writer-centered system". Mainly because the three companies of Youai Teng were crazy about traffic stars, sub-contracts, ancient puppets, and CP, which made Mr. Jing very dissatisfied. They burned more than 100 billion in ten years.
The amount of funds has impacted the domestic entertainment ecosystem to pieces, but it has not produced better TV series.
Subsequently, iQiyi was forced to split up, and the main part was operated in the direction of Netflix. The remaining departments were reorganized into Qiyi TV to continue to make money in the country and compete with Youku and Tencent Video.
Now Mr. Jing says that there is no limit on funds. He just wants to say that Li Yunlong, who imitated "Bright Sword", said "I have never fought such a rich battle"!
Hearing this, Jing Gao smiled slightly, feeling relieved and said: "Okay. Lao Gong, then you can come up with a plan for me later and send it to me via email. We will communicate in detail at that time."
Gong Yu said: "Okay!"
"That's it for today." Jing Gao announced the end of the meeting crisply. As the boss, he provided funds and goals, and then it was up to the executives below to do their part. There is no need to do everything. Then how can you enjoy life?
Zhou Suchen, Ji Shiqin and Qiu Yunzhen are still waiting for him to pamper them in the bedroom.
He just realized a few days ago: If he has not become a great man, he is actually an ordinary person. Life is only a few autumns, so he must cherish it, enjoy himself in time, and live up to his time.
Seeing that Jing Gao was about to leave, Wang Xiaohui quickly said: "Mr. Jing, I want to give you a report."
Jing Gao thought for a while and said helplessly: "Okay! Shaofan, Zhu Yu, you two can do what you want."
Fang Shaofan stood up and said: "Okay, Mr. Jing." His work report was completed while playing golf. There was no need to stand around the boss's time. It was not like he didn't see the table full of butterflies when he was eating just now.
.
Zhu Yu was still a little shocked by Jing Gao's domineering words just now, and said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Jing, I won't bother you and go first."
Even just knowing that iQiyi is going to Hong Kong Island to "conquer territory" is enough for him.
To use a simple analogy, he can add leverage to buy iQiyi's stocks now. When iQiyi dominates the streaming media market in Hong Kong Island, won't the stock price rise sharply?
Netflix’s stock price is rising like crazy!
Of course, this is just an idea. He will not "manage" iQiyi's stocks. But it is no problem for him to invest tens of millions and make a little money.
Don’t get me wrong, he only has 1.5 million in pocket money a month, but he can’t spend tens of millions to invest. But his friends do! This is also the reason why he can live well in the circle. For example, he can go to beauty salons (Shi)
He definitely wants to count as a share of Yalan.
Yalan has a good relationship with Brother Jing, but Yalan will never use this favor for stock trading. The friendship with Brother Jing is a trump card in life! She will never use it until the critical moment.
…
After Fang Shaofan and Zhu Yu left, the conference room became deserted. Gong Yu, who was in Singapore, had been disconnected.
Jing Gao took a sip of tea and made a "please" gesture.
When Wang Xiaohui wanted to report, he was really the only one to listen. Phoenix Group has three entertainment companies under it: Phoenix Film and Television, iQiyi, and Qiyi TV. Phoenix Film and Television's video website is simply called Phoenix Film and Television.
Of course, the video license was obtained by spending hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire a company.
These three entertainment companies have different development directions and target different companies. They do not coordinate with each other. There is even some competition.
"Lao An probably doesn't have time to take care of these small things. We need to find a vice president to coordinate and manage the three entertainment companies!"
Jing Gao thought to himself. But he was short of people and couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
In terms of business capabilities, both Gong Yu and Wang Xiaohui can serve as the vice president. However, his own financial resources are definitely not willing to let professional managers from mergers and acquisitions take charge. If he suffers a loss, he will not know how to eat!
Furthermore, Wang Xiaohui and him are not of the same mind!
After he learned about all the bullshit in domestic entertainment, he actually looked down on the domestic entertainment environment and wanted to make innovations in his own company. The producer system of Phoenix Film and Television was reformed to provide screenwriter status, and iQiyi turned to
Learn from Netflix and so on.
Under his strong pressure, Gong Yu gave full play to his ability to recognize current affairs and quickly moved closer to him. However, Wang Xiaohui was a talent who came out of the system. On the contrary, he "gathered" the opposition forces within iQiyi and continued
Playing in the mire pit of domestic entertainment with Youku and Tencent Video, and having a great time.
Therefore, he will not let Wang Xiaohui be in charge of Phoenix Group's entertainment business. As for his confidant Fang Shaofan, his ability is indeed quite bad.
It is said that it is really difficult for someone in their thirties to manage Phoenix Film and Television, a major company in the entertainment industry. Phoenix Film and Television is not only a film and television production company, but also integrates film and television investment and financing, film and television drama distribution, artist management, and theater chains.
entertainment group.
The Hong Kong circle is said to be about capital. In fact, Phoenix Film and Television is also the top powerhouse in the entertainment industry and belongs to the level of capital. The company is on par with those in the Hong Kong circle, and even exceeds it.
Wang Xiaohui considered it for a few seconds and said: "Mr. Jing, it's just right for iQiyi to go to Hong Kong Island. Our three major video companies have different divisions of labor.
iQiyi's target is Netflix. It relies on membership dues, stock mortgages, and bonds to raise funds to film dramas or purchase high-quality dramas. If iQiyi takes the lead, it will definitely seize market share on Hong Kong Island and clean up the Hong Kong area.
"
Phoenix Films' target is HBO. It also uses membership fees to raise funds for development. However, HBO follows a more traditional American drama shooting model. It consists of script seminars, previews, pilots, etc.
Therefore, this series of characteristics means that the quality of HBO's dramas is good, and they are developing in the direction of high-quality dramas. But at the same time, this production model determines that the number of HBO dramas is not enough. Moreover, they live within their means and cannot launch more than one drama at the same time.
blockbuster production.
Therefore, it cannot compete with technology company Netflix, as reflected in its stock price and number of paying users.
Qiyi TV, which he is in charge of, is a localized long-form video website. It focuses on "one fish can eat more" and relies on variety shows to attract user registrations.
Jing Gao couldn't help laughing and looked at the middle-aged man Wang Xiaohui: "Old Wang, there is something in your words! Tell me."
