Chapter 52 Consortium II

Chen Chong sat in the office for only five minutes. Before he could finish reading a report, Zhang Yonglin hurried over. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, his hair was neat and shiny, his clothes were neat and straight, and his face was radiant. He looked like a business elite, and he didn't look like a person who spent the night in the office at all.

"Mr. Chen." As soon as he met, he didn't sit down and said quickly: "I think there are several places that need to be modified about the videotape rental plan."

"Sit first." Chen Chong put away the documents in his hand and asked: "Where are the places?"

"First of all, 90% of the videotapes prepared now are movies, which is unreasonable. According to my observation, during the Spring Festival, the first choice for videotape rental is not a movie, but a TV series."

"Why?"

"The market in Hong Kong is booming now. Many people have to work overtime until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and missed the TV series play time." Zhang Yonglin sat down on the chair opposite his desk and continued: "There are three consecutive holidays during the Spring Festival, and it is time for family fun, so many people will choose to make up for the TV series that they missed before at this time instead of watching movies."

“Yes”

Chen Chong immediately realized that he was too focused on movies before, and was poisoned by the memories of his previous life, thinking that movies were the king, but he forgot that it was 19 days, and it was the era when television was at its peak and was widely popular, rather than the 21st century, when it was squeezed by the Internet and streaming media and went downhill.

He hadn't watched TV series for many years in his previous life, and had long forgotten that in this era, "Chu Liuxiang" was empty, and "Chen Silkworm Change" was popular in Xiangjiang. People were fascinated by the audience, with a rating of up to three million, and their influence was far beyond the movie. Among them, those who missed the series due to work or other reasons will definitely find ways to find the video to make up for the regrets.

Such an obvious omission, when he arranged it before, no one had any suggestions. It seemed that his halo of success was too dazzling, and those in the company were lazy.

"It's less than a week before the Spring Festival." Chen Chong frowned and asked, "How to solve it?"

"Collaborate with H and Li's TV." Zhang Yonglin obviously considered it, and he said: "I asked. Both TV stations have accumulated some TV series videotapes from a few years ago, so we can take them to respond to the emergency.

"Yeah." Chen Chong nodded and said, "What price do they offer?"

"Mr. Chen, this is the second point I think I should modify." Zhang Yonglin paused and said, "I have checked the previous records. The copyright of the video tape was bought out. I think this is not good. The capital utilization rate is low and the risk is high. It is better for everyone to cooperate. H and Li's TV have their own video tape production factories. They provide video tapes, and we are responsible for issuing them and the accounts are divided according to a certain proportion."

Chen Chong has a perverted hobby for movies. Anyone who likes you must buy all copyrights. As for TV series, it doesn't matter, so he said, "It's good that way, you go and talk to them first."

"Okay." Zhang Yonglin said confidently: "Li's TV is relatively weak. I will go to McDonald to chat with him later, check their bottom line, and then report to Mr. Shen."

Madon Heung is the production director of Li’s TV. "The Top Ten Strange Cases in Hong Kong" and "The Legend of Silkworm Change" are all his works. The weak Li’s TV has been able to compete with H in the past two years, and he has made great contributions. Zhang Yonglin has changed jobs from Cathay Pacific, which is not in line with the film and television industry. He can meet Madon Heung in just a few days. He is a workplace expert and has a strong interpersonal ability.

Chen Chong was very satisfied with his decisive attitude and nodded and said, "Okay. What else needs to be changed?

"Oh, there are two more points." Zhang Yonglin immediately said: "I think we should negotiate with Shaw and Jiahe now to purchase the videotape rights of their old movies and the exclusive agency distribution rights for future new movies."

"We have no confidence to talk now." Chen Chong touched his chin and said hesitantly: "When the company is on track and has a large number of members, we will talk to each other, and the effect should be better."

"This idea is wrong. The richer the videos, the more members there will be. Instead of the more members, the more rich the videos." Zhang Yonglin retorted bluntly: "We have too few resources now. We only have more than 300 movies copyrights. The rest are purchased from the outside, and the cost is very high. If there are more members in the future, the demand for content will also increase. At that time, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe Qiguo are good at it. If you take the opportunity to threaten it, it will be more worth the loss. It is better to take advantage of the market before it explodes and sign a video tape distribution agreement with them. It is most appropriate to sign at this time."

Chen Chong was entangled. He didn't understand this principle, but he had an obsession in his heart. On the one hand, he couldn't let go of the idea of ​​owning the world's largest Chinese-language film library. On the other hand, he was worried that after buying out the copyright of the videotape, Shaw Brothers and Jiahe would lose a lot of money and be ruined, so he swayed left and right, dragging it all the time, without making a decision.

"Okay." Chen Chong hesitated for a while and said: "In the videotape market, the most popular ones are always new movies, the exclusive agency distribution rights of new movies. You go and talk about them. As for the copyright of the old movie, I will talk to the two big guys in person."

Zhang Yonglin nodded and said, "There is another point in the end. Mr. Chen, according to the customer responses who made an appointment in advance, I think there are too few video recorders prepared now, and at least 50,000 more units are needed.

"Are you sure?"

"Confirm." Zhang Yonglin said firmly: "According to the feedback from street questionnaire surveys over the past few days, 71 respondents believe that the video recorder is worth owning. Hong Kong has a population of 5 million and 99 families have TVs. Even if each household is an average of 5 people, there are still 700,000 potential buyers of recorder. Mr. Chen's hardware-content business model is very novel and very attractive, so I think the number of 100,000 units is too conservative.

With data and reason, Chen Chong followed suit and said, "Okay, I will contact several Japanese electrical appliance companies and set another 50,000 units."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, then I'll say goodbye." Zhang Yonglin stood up, bowed slightly, and was about to leave.

"Wait." Chen Chong called him, looked at him up and down for a while, and asked, "Did you fabricate the news that my old house in Guantang was bought at a high price?"

"Mr. Chen." Zhang Yonglin said without changing his face: "I am responsible for channel construction, and Manager Zhu Jiading has always been responsible for advertising and marketing."

"Zhu Jiading is a returnee. He is advertising and is in the middle-class style and has a style." Chen Chong smiled and shook his head, saying, "The dazzling golden shining god of wealth in Galaxy Image advertisements, and the strange and strange talks of Feng Shui masters are all jokes that ordinary people like to hear. Are you really talented and you are not afraid of me being angry?"

"Mr. Chen, you are a businessman." Zhang Yonglin pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously: "As long as I get things done and make money, jokes will become good stories, don't you?"
