When I first came to Silicon Valley, I was so jet-lagged.
I couldn't sleep most of the night and kept watching movies at home until about three in the morning.
After watching "Collision", what impressed Su Yehao the most was that if Hong Kong films continue to hold on to small budgets, they will probably be doomed in the future.
This is not to blame the film and television companies. The main reason is that the market is small. The highest box office in the entire Hong Kong city is only 40 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars. There are not enough nutrients in the soil.
The movie-going market in the mainland has not developed and is like a stagnant water. In the international market, there are cultural differences and it is difficult to develop.
Those Japanese people are smarter. They bought the Hollywood film and television company and infiltrated into the wolf pack in search of meat. Although Su Yehao could do this, it would be too expensive.
Now Xiao Nizi and Jiang Yu are busy preparing for the entertainment company, and his support is limited.
If you want to save money, there are ways.
The most cost-effective way is undoubtedly to create a boy band and a girl band, let a bunch of handsome boys and girls sing and dance, try TV variety shows and bloody dramas, and copy the three treasures of "car accident, amnesia, and incurability".
It doesn't matter what your abilities are, as long as you select and train a group of stars, firstly, they must be eye-catching, and secondly, they must be likable, that's basically it.
If we change the way the Korean entertainment industry operates in the future, we might have the opportunity to make Hong Kong City's entertainment industry popular for another twenty years. The entertainment industry ceiling in Hong Kong City is too low, but it can develop towards Southeast Asia and East Asia.
South Korea does not have a large population, and its export entertainment industry is also doing very well.
And compared with it, Hong Kong City is now the entertainment center of Asia, and its advantages still exist, but it is now a bit out of date as the same and unchanging model makes people boring.
The kings of heaven have gradually passed the peak period of their influence, and the goddesses are getting married and getting old.
The entire environment is going downhill, and it is in urgent need of transformation to survive.
Before going to bed, I took more than ten minutes to help Xiao Nizi figure out the development direction of the entertainment company. At the same time, I also considered asking Jiang Yu to help out and take some shares to act as a small boss lady, so as not to have random thoughts when I have free time.
There are four girls around me.
If everyone is pestering Su Yehao, then they don't have to do anything all day long. Let them be a little busy, which will be conducive to a harmonious life...
I slept until about 11 o'clock at noon before getting up.
I went out for a seafood meal, and in the afternoon I went to the headquarters of the Yanmoji Group, where I summoned the executives of ICQ and TVT and held a meeting.
The content of the meeting was nothing more than the company's listing and the troubles it would face in the short term. Everyone sat down and chatted. Today was the first time for many new executives to see the big boss Su Yehao in person.
Before, I only knew that I was young, but when I really saw this person, I realized that he was almost like a college freshman who just entered school.
As long as the company goes public smoothly, everyone here can make a fortune.
Therefore, age does not matter at all. If Su Yehao can make them rich, he is a good boss. The atmosphere during the meeting is called harmony.
In general.
The flow of talent among large companies in Silicon Valley is not great.
On the one hand, this is because of competition restrictions, and on the other hand, it is also because of the establishment of an “Anti-Poaching Alliance” among major companies in Silicon Valley.
In the early years, we poached each other too hard. In the end, everyone found that life was not easy, labor costs increased a lot, many projects lost their supervisors, and the only beneficiaries were the migrant workers.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】
So everyone sat down and discussed, and gradually came to a tacit understanding. The cost of job-hopping among employees was too high. Unless they really encountered a good opportunity, even a little increase in salary might not be able to attract them to move.
This time.
ICQ and TVT merged to form the emoji group and went public. Even the company's front desk, cleaning ladies, security guards at the door, etc. can get a certain amount of bonus shares.
Anyway, a total of 3.5% of the total share capital will be allocated to everyone. Of course, Su Yehao is happy to give out a favor. Maybe after the news gets out, he can get a few pieces of news praising him.
Employees become shareholders, creating a new bond with the company, and cohesion suddenly soars into the sky.
Almost everyone is a shareholder, and all of them have original shares that have been banned. Anyone who dares to hinder the company will become an enemy of other colleagues.
In the early days, there was still a somewhat informal atmosphere at ICQ.
Since it was rectified and benefits were linked to merit, the situation has been much better recently.
The CEO of ICQ kept smiling at the meeting and spoke like a "boss", making suggestions for the next development, such as solving the problem of image compression technology as soon as possible.
The more compressed the image is, the faster the upload and download speed will be.
It is said that this is the update that users most want to see. Many ICQ users use the "Nearby People" function to meet with netizens offline, which has led to many tragedies that make them cry without tears.
Since the motivation for getting to know each other is not pure, users certainly hope that the more photos the other party can take, the better. Broadband is still a niche new technology, and more efficient image compression technology can indeed come in handy and increase users' interest in the company's products.
Sensitivity.
Any person who can become a senior executive would have better academic qualifications and management experience than Su Yehao.
He talks less and listens more in meetings, and makes decisions when he comes across good suggestions...

The auction doesn't start until 7pm.
After the meeting, Su Yehao was not in a hurry to rush to San Francisco and first went to Google headquarters.
Compared with the time when we first invested last year, Google has completely changed. The number of employees has increased to more than 200, and it rents a two-story office building.
A set of servers purchased from Oracle is worth more than 10 million U.S. dollars. It has received financial support from Su Yehao and is developing very fast. A new generation of search engines are being developed. It has also established a project for Google Chrome and acquired a batch of tools that can be put to use.
small team.
Compared with the original residential houses, it can be called a shotgun for a cannon.
Larry Page learned that Su Yehao was coming, and came to greet him personally. He inspected the open office area and introduced the specific tasks of each project team.
At that time, Google was acquired by Su Yehao as a whole, and only some shares were given to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, which were retained until Google went public and would not be diluted.
Compared with previous anti-link companies, Google's current valuation has soared to about 70 million US dollars.
These founders have nothing to be dissatisfied with.
As long as you develop seriously, you no longer have to sigh all day just for some investment money. You will feel much more relaxed and your face will be full of energy.
At this moment.
Su Yehao asked: "We are expanding here, is there any movement from Yahoo?"
Larry Page nodded and told: "Of course, they will not accept our advertising, and they prohibit talents from jumping to us, and this has affected a group of venture capital managers."
"...That doesn't matter. Yahoo is so big that it shouldn't pay too much attention to us for the time being. As for the funds, I'm the one paying for it. Those venture capital companies have no chance to invest."
Su Yehao found a computer and tried to search for the keyword "San Francisco, Christie's auction". The response was very fast. The first one was the official website of Christie's auction house, and then there was news about the auction that was going to be held tonight.
Broadband has been rolled out in Silicon Valley, especially in the headquarters of such technology companies. It is strange that the Internet speed is slow.
Nowadays, the most cutting-edge communication technologies are all piled up here in Silicon Valley.
Google's headquarters is not far from Cisco's headquarters, while Qualcomm's headquarters is in San Diego, California.
Last year, Su Yehao planned to visit Qualcomm, but was too lazy to go out and gave up again.
