Chapter 217(1/3)
215. What is Bomi going to do?! (Add to update for the lucky leader Scott and the lucky leader Chen Changshou)
After discussing with Liu Zhiping, Cao Yang formulated a future development strategy as a platform ecosystem, but this concept was not really released.
Because this thing is so important.
Many concepts that are ahead of the times will be exposed, and once they are exposed, many competitors will emerge in the future.
Before Bomi was completed, the platform ecosystem strategy was completely confidential and was limited to a few people in the president's office.
Bomi only has the final conclusion to the outside world-
That's what we want to do.
Regarding the [what we want to do] in the future, Cao Yang's answer is-
Let’s start with an information platform. What does the information platform contain?
Portal, Zhihu.
Each product has a department, especially a portal website, which requires not only website development and maintenance personnel, but also media people of all sizes.
Zhihu is temporarily named [Bowen], which means that if you have any questions, please ask them, and someone will always answer them.
In addition to the information platform, Cao Yangli's second plan is to establish Bomi Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.
Abbreviation [Bomi Pictures]
The establishment of the film and television media company marks the official entry of Bomi Group into the film and television industry and conducts full-industry chain businesses such as film and television investment, production, distribution, screening and post-products.
Although Bomi Pictures is not very consistent with the platform ecological strategy formulated by Liu Zhiping.
But that's what Cao Yang thinks-
Even if Bomi wants to vigorously develop its platform in the future, it cannot abandon its products.
The network environment is still in its early stages. Due to the limitations of network speed, architecture like the Netflix streaming media platform abroad is obviously unrealistic.
But it doesn't matter, because the gap between China and Netflix is not just a platform, the most important thing is the lack of attractive enough products.
Therefore, Cao Yang can completely make the industry's source layout in advance, and Bomi will manufacture and produce film and television products.
With enough high-quality products, when the domestic network environment matures, Bomi will be able to launch a streaming media platform similar to Netflix.
This process is the same as the current development history of Bomi-
Make games first, and then make game platforms. When you have excellent enough game works, make the game platform an exclusive distribution channel, and then you will naturally be able to attract users.
The film and television industry is also a process.
After listening to Cao Yang's explanation, Liu Zhiping agreed.
But his only doubt about this is—
Where did Boss Cao get the confidence to make high-quality film and television works?!
...
Of course Cao Yang cannot do it. He can only provide excellent film and television plots at most.
As for whether it can be done and what it will be done, it depends on Ai Xiaomi.
...
May 4th is a day that Ai Xiaomi will never forget.
This day is also the birthday of Boss Cao’s daughter.
On this day, the morning was sunny and the temperature in the imperial capital was neither high nor low, and it was warm and pleasant.
Except for the catkins flying all over the sky, everything else is fine.
That morning, when Ai Xiaomi went to the company, Boss Cao called her to the boss's office.
"What's wrong with the boss?"
After Ai Xiaomi entered the door, she found a chair and sat down in front of the tea table.
The boss is good at everything, but this habit makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Every time he comes to the boss’s office, Boss Cao would invite someone to have tea.
Once you drink too much this tea, you will easily fill your stomach. After you have enough, you will not be able to eat snacks and have to keep running to the toilet.
So later Ai Xiaomi learned to be edema. After entering the door, the boss poured tea. She always dipped it with her lips and didn't drink it seriously, so she could drink a few fewer cups.
Cao Yang made some tea, poured it on Ai Xiaomi with a smile, and pushed it in front of her.
"I'll ask you to come this time, and there are very important tasks to entrust you."
"Hey? Really?" Ai Xiaomi was a little flattered.
"Boss, you don't know. If you don't need my words, I feel like I'm going to get moldy in the dance troupe."
"Uh..." Cao Yang rolled his eyes, "You can imagine how indulgent you have been during this period."
Isn't it?
As the boss of Kings Studio, Ai Xiaomi actually plays a dance troupe every day and chats with the players of the Zangai family very happily, so she just needs to make a Shamatt look.
If Boss Cao hadn't been disgusted with this look, Ai Xiaomi might have made one.
Although it is known as the King Studio, the only game that actually requires personnel to maintain and operate is the only one of the Jinwu Troupes.
After the previous King of Kings Game was released, many employees supported the "Shan Hai Jing" project team. Currently, the Kings series is still developing only one "Honor of Kings 4".
It is expected that the launch will take half a year to a year.
It depends on how much the boss attaches importance to the project.
So Ai Xiaomi’s main job now is to maintain the dance troupe, launch events regularly and release new versions.
However, the number of online players of the Jin Dance Group has now exceeded the Three Kingdoms Online, becoming the largest online game in China. Its monthly turnover is already a very impressive achievement.
Even if Kings Studio does not develop other products, just a dance troupe is enough for them to eat.
The reason why we continue to develop Honor of Kings 4 is because it is a big IP. Cao Yang needs it to continue to shine and heat until one day its IP can derive many related products.
"So do you have nothing on your hands now?" Cao Yang asked casually with a brush brushing the tea residue.
"Uh...I can't say that...I'm also designing the Valentine's Day event version of the Dance Company next year."
Now the plan of the Dance Troupe has been scheduled until Valentine's Day next year. Many plans have been formulated and the program is scheduled to be produced.
It is conceivable how leisurely the team's planners are.
Cao Yang's eyelids twitched a few times.
It seems that if I didn’t pick Ai Xiaomi out earlier and let her continue to shine, this person will really be in the project "Jin Dance Team" from now on.
Sure enough, if the environment is comfortable, it is easy to make people degenerate.
Cao Yang shook his head and said seriously, "Xiaomi, I'll call you here today, and there is a very important task to hand over to you."
"Yeah." Ai Xiaomi nodded, "Boss you have already said it just now."
Cao Yang curled his lips, wasn’t this interrupted by you?
"Our company is preparing to set up a film and television media company in the imperial capital," said Cao Yang.
When Ai Xiaomi heard this, she felt a little surprised.
She suddenly felt a little dry and looked at Cao Yang blankly, looking forward to what he would say next.
"Boss, you...can you be..."
"Well," Cao Yang nodded, "I'm going to let you take charge of this film and television media company."
"What?!"
It was at this moment that Ai Xiaomi was stunned.
It seemed like a beat of my heart was beating.
"Boss, are you serious?" Ai Xiaomi looked at Cao Yang in disbelief.
"Of course," Cao Yang rolled his eyes, "When did I not keep my word?"
"I'll just go! Boss, I... Boss, you're so awesome. Can I kowtow to you?"
When he heard that Bomi Pictures was going to hand over to Ai Xiaomi to take charge, Ai Xiaomi was so excited that he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Boss Cao.
Cao Yang quickly interrupted her, "You are the head of a company. Can you have some dignity?"
"Hahaha..." Ai Xiaomi smiled awkwardly, "Aren't I excited?"
...
When Bomi announced that it would establish a Bomi Film and Television Media subsidiary and develop a portal website and an information platform called [Bowen] in the future, the entire Internet industry was shocked.
The first ones to learn about this were Kingsoft’s two bosses, Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun.
Because since 2001, Bomi has become the most important opponent of Xishanju.
However, because Bomi's previous industrial chain was relatively simple, he was crushed by Bomi in terms of games, so Qiu Bojun himself was helpless.
