It is said that in Yao Yuan's era, the flavor of the New Year was getting weaker and weaker. Perhaps only the red lanterns all over the streets, the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and the terrible Spring Festival Gala could still show some symbolic meaning: "Oh, it turns out it's the New Year!"
It's pretty good now, there's a bit of a festive atmosphere.
Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
All the things that need to be done have been done, and the New Year's greetings that need to be said have also been completed. Yao Yuan is in his idle period, lying in bed and happily scrolling through his mobile phone.
At the beginning of the mobile era, he jumped on it eagerly, like a man who had been using dry toilets for ten years and finally saw a flush toilet.
He even suffered from battery anxiety early on. When the battery level drops below 50%, he will feel flustered, anxious, afraid to go out, and seems to be abandoned by the whole world...
"Are you still lying down? Don't you want to eat?"
"Not hungry."
"Then why don't you drink some soy milk?"
"Um!"
Yinyin hand-grinded the soy milk and brought over a bowl. Yao Yuan stood up like a patient, finished it and sighed: "You are better than my mother!"
"How to say?"
"If I say I'm not hungry and don't want to eat, they will grumble endlessly and bark every once in a while until I sit at the dinner table, as if I have to eat this meal with them, and it's against the law if I don't eat."
"It's the same with my parents. It's the same for the older generation. Just wait until the young people become parents."
Yinyin put down the bowl, got into bed and huddled in his arms. She also stared at his mobile phone and said, "Are you reading online articles again? I've never understood why you love reading online articles so much?"
"These days, if you hold a mobile phone and don't watch videos, play games, or read sidekicks, but read online articles, you are already a cultural person."
Yao Yuan paused and said: "This is what Dostoyevsky said!"
"Hey! If you like it so much, why don't you start an online writing website?"
"The market is too small and I don't like to do it."
"Then it's easy to acquire one. It's just the one called Dian. Isn't it the largest in the country?"
"Don't talk nonsense, you will get 404!"
Yao Yuan stopped.
He really doesn’t like to do it. The online literature industry is not big or small. The market size in 2022 will reach 38.9 billion.
Internet writing is an important IP production base, which can be used for film, television, animation, games, etc. However, there are very few adapted works of good quality, and most of them are made by blind actors.
Yao Yuan knows which works are going to be popular, so he just needs to grab a big IP. There is no need to build a special website - if he really wants to do it, will he have to start a business war with a certain point?
Alas!
"..."
He lay on his side and continued to look at Old Mo Han.
After watching for a while, Zhou Hongyi suddenly called: "Hello? Mr. Yao, are you free today to come to Huairou for a shootout?"
"This guy from the sixth grade of junior high school..."
Just when he was about to refuse, his thigh was pinched and he hurriedly said: "Can you find someone?"
"There are plenty of people. I have been famous for Mr. Liu and Mr. Yu for a long time. I have to meet them anyway, right?"
oh!
Lao Zhou wanted to form a bureau and get to know people like Liu Qiangdong and Yu Jiajia. Yao Yuan should have done this, but he forgot about it in a hurry.
"Mr. Liu is easy to talk to. Mr. Yu has gone to the roadshow."
"Road show? Going public?"
"Yes, Maili Video is almost ready, and maybe it can be released in batches with you. She can make an appointment another day. I'll call Mr. Liu first. How about noon?"
"Let's go at noon, just in time for dinner after playing."
"Well!"
As soon as she hung up the phone, Yinyin threw off his arm and jumped up: "Let's go shoot!"
She ran to the cloakroom, stripped herself naked in twos and twos, and quickly started to change clothes, urging: "Hurry up, get up, you'd better eat something, otherwise you won't have enough energy!"
"well!"
Yao Yuan lay on his back, this kind of physical activity was the most annoying.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the executives who had gone home for the New Year were almost back. He ordered a circle and called a dozen people to rush to the 360 training base in Huairou.
360 suffered a lot last year, but things turned around and everything went smoothly for its IPO.
Yao Yuan holds 20% of the shares and is the largest shareholder.
Zhou Hongyi also called his friends to form a friendship. The two parties played real-person CS for an afternoon. It snowed during the Spring Festival, which just formed a snow map, which gave a good sense of immersion.
Yao Yuan paddled in various ways, took the initiative to get his head shot, and happily rolled down to drink hot water.
Yinyin and Lao Zhou became the leaders of the two teams, commanding their teammates to charge into battle, and eventually died together, leaving Cheng Wei to capture the flag and pick up the leak...
We played until evening and went to a farmer's restaurant for dinner.
Liu Qiangdong and Liu Qiangdong hit it off immediately, and the two drunkards drank a total of four kilograms of liquor and a few bottles of beer to relieve the hangover. Well, use beer to relieve the hangover.
In reality, they were also good friends.
Zhou Hongyi envied Dongzi for finding a milk tea girl. He joked: "Qiangdong is very motivated to work out. He is surrounded by a beautiful girl born in the 90s every day. How can he not work out?"
Later he divorced.
…………
While a group of people were having fun, Mr. Yu just came back from the United States in a miserable state.
Historically, Youku went public last year, and Tudou this year. Now, Tudou is in the hands of Liu Weiwei and Wensha, and has switched to live broadcasting. Youku has been eliminated and suppressed, and its performance is not as good as it is. It is still looking for listing opportunities.
The top four domestic video companies are currently: Maili, Qiyi, Youku, and Sohu.
The grain of wheat is outstanding in all aspects, and listing on the market is a matter of course.
Yu Jiajia watched Yao Yuan struggle last year, and this year she also experienced it. After a 10-day road show, she was as tired as a dog. The video website can’t play with the concept. At most, it is the “Chinese version of YouTube.”
There is not much interest from foreigners, and the valuation is not high.
Yu Jiajia is also excited because she owns 18% of the shares!
night, Hong Kong.
Yu Jiajia returned to the hotel tiredly. She had just completed her road show in Hong Kong during the day and met with a bunch of investors. Each session lasted an hour and she held five meetings.
"Mr. Yu, the water temperature is ready!"
"Well, call me in an hour!"
"OK!"
Xu Meng is a senior executive of Maili Video, so naturally he is also here and has put out the bath water for Mr. Yu.
Yu Jiajia is nearly 40 years old and has spent a lot of money on maintenance. The overall appearance is still very young. She is young and has the experience and ease of a mature woman, which is quite charming.
She lay in the bathtub, using hot water to quickly relieve her fatigue. She was not thinking about wheat grains, but about Hugelive.
Yao Yuan regards this year as the first year for 99 Group to go overseas, focusing on three key projects: games, videos, and mobile phones.
Video is Hugelive, and its founding value is to go global.
Later generations such as iQiyi, Tencent, and Mango TV are actually also going overseas. Their main focus is Southeast Asia. They achieve the purpose of export by launching international versions of APPs, acquiring local platforms, cooperating with local TV stations, etc.
As for the output effect, well...
Then why don't they go to the United States?
I don’t dare to go!
There are Hollywood movies, American TV series, and world-class streaming media such as Netflix, Disney, and Amazon. They went to have fun!
Therefore, regardless of Zhang Yiming’s failure, TikTok is really the most powerful Internet venture overseas.
Of course, Hugelive aims at the global market, and naturally has to pay the price of the global market - accepting external capital.
"Mr. Yu, it's time!"
"Wow!"
Following Xu Meng's shout, Yu Jiajia stood up, dried herself and put on clothes, feeling energetic again.
"Let's go!"
The two of them went out to meet American investors.
