Chapter 229 The enemy is too cunning, making you hard to guard against.
At noon, Zhou Ziru arrived at Gao Jin's office and said with a smile, "Chairman, I don't have much funds here. After allocating funds to Starlight Video, there are only more than 200 million left."
"I'll turn you around later," Gao Jin said with a smile. Zhou Ziru also smiled and sat down to drink tea with Gao Jin.
Gao Jin took out his phone and called Ji Xueyi, asking Ji Xueyi to transfer 10 billion funds from his account to the Xingling Group's account.
"Young Master Gao, please confirm via text message later," Ji Xueyi said and Gao Jin agreed.
Soon, the bank's short page came. Gao Jin responded several times and then received a text message about the change in the account amount. He smiled and put his phone on the table.
Gao Jin didn't care at all about investing money into the Protoss Spirit Group. Except for the first 200 million allocated, all the remaining allocations went into the Protoss Spirit Group's borrowing option.
In the future, when Xingling Group makes a profit, it will need to return Gao Jin's money bit by bit.
"I don't know when Rocket Bear will really make a profit," Zhou Ziru suddenly said.
"Just wait, it won't be possible this year, and it won't be until next year at the earliest."
"At the end of this month, Rocket Bear Company is full. The company will make another adjustment. The red envelopes given to members every month will be reduced to six, which is reduced by half."
“This change alone will save us from losing billions every month.”
After Gao Jin finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and started drinking tea. Zhou Ziru slowly shook his head. This way of slowly recovering investment was too uncomfortable.
"I heard that Starlight Literature and Zheng Shenzhi plan to jointly film ten online novels into TV series. The funding application report has been sent to me, with two billion funds."
"I really hope that other industries will start making profits soon, otherwise, the losses this year will definitely be more than 20 billion."
After Zhou Ziru finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Now, except for Shengguang Solar, which is making normal profits, all industries are losing money. It will be difficult to see profits this year.
"Take your time, there are some things you can't remember"
"Just like Zheng Shenzhi's online shooting this time, the artists signed by Wei Baoling's agency have been fully mobilized to participate even if the remuneration is not high."
"Also, ATV will also start poaching TVB people. At that time, they will arrange people to make guest appearances in TV series."
"Starlight Literature Network, Xinggong Film and Television Company, plus ATV, the joint promotion of the three parties will bring huge traffic."
"Tongda Lawyers has launched lawsuits against dozens of infringing websites, and the piracy situation at Starlight Literature has been effectively curbed."
“As the number of paying readers increases, profits will naturally increase.”
"With the cooperation of our own theater chains and video websites, this ecosystem has begun to operate. Although we can't make much money yet, as the ecosystem becomes more and more integrated, it will be a matter of time before we make money."
Gao Jin said this with a calm face. This is a big entertainment cycle. If the cycle continues one by one, profits will be generated, and finally a situation where every link will make money.
After a film is shot, you can make money through theaters, you can make money by licensing it to TV stations, and you can make money by licensing it to websites.
Although actors are not well paid, they have increased their exposure and made money through commercial performances, endorsement contracts, and participation in Zhong Yi's programs.
Correspondingly, when an actor makes money, the agency will take a commission and will also make money accordingly.
Wei Baoling's agency hired a number of professional teachers this year to provide additional acting training, etiquette training, physical training...etc. for its artists.
TV stations make money when they play ads, and video websites make money when they play traffic.
Literary websites also make money by selling copyrights, and the money their authors make will attract more talented people to write novels.
Excellent works are constantly being produced, which will attract more readers to recharge and consume.
If the links are connected in series, a circle will eventually be formed, and any industry within this cycle will benefit.
Act and excel in singing, and gradually the music aspect will be included. Focus on creating a few superstars, and the Xingling Group's great entertainment foundation will be established.
Spending money now is to make more money in the future. In the end, it is Xingling Group that makes money.
"When will there be a new round of fiscal and taxation coordination adjustments?" Zhou Ziru asked.
Gao Jin put down the teacup in his hand and began to think. After a short time, Gao Jin said, "We will leave it unchanged for the time being and wait until new laws and regulations are introduced."
The relevant departments are well aware of the fact that enterprises can avoid taxes reasonably and legally, and they have been determined to change this. The tax law has begun to be revised, but no one knows what the final result will be for the time being.
At present, we can only wait for the new tax law to be introduced before making any plans. Basically, all large companies have this plan.
The two chatted for a while, and then Zhou Ziru left. Gao Jin saw Zhou Ziru off and stretched.
I need to relax, I miss Joanna a little bit.
Joanna is also very busy and wants to take a vacation and relax, but she can't spare the time for the time being.
A few days passed slowly, and the promotional activities of Starlight Video were launched.
【We are here to cause trouble!】
This slogan is shouted out. The membership price is only 30 yuan a year, and you can watch thousands of movies and TV series as you like.
The top TV series of Xiangjiang Entertainment are all available on the Starlight Video website.
Various pop-ups are constantly popping up, and Starlight Video promotional banners and pop-ups appear on many websites.
Thirty yuan a year is very attractive to many people. After all, after the discounts of Yiyi Video and Goose Factory Video, it still costs more than fifty yuan.
Starlight Video is really here to cause trouble and must be supported. The price of thirty yuan a year is completely acceptable.
The number of people registering to recharge began to soar.
Duan Daolin waited for a few days, and when the number of new members began to stabilize, he began to release news about purchasing movies and TV series.
They often work with a certain film and television company to exclusively buy out a certain movie or a certain TV series.
Or introduce foreign TV series that have achieved good results.
As the news continued to be released, the number of members who registered to recharge began to rise again.
At the same time, Guan Hongsheng paid 5 million to Tongda Law Firm and began to sue those piracy websites.
Domestic prosecution, foreign protoss directly hacks your server.
Those people who were penniless couldn't find a source to watch the movie, so they recharged their membership for the sake of their conscience at 30 yuan a year.
On March 10th, Duan Daolin, general manager of Starlight Video, announced that the number of registered and recharged members on the website has exceeded 100 million and is still rising.
One person has 300,000 registered users, which is 3 billion.
The income of 3 billion in one fell swoop was not only surprising to Duan Daolin, but also to Gao Jin.
Holy shit, lowering the price actually has this benefit.
It costs RMB 500 million to purchase movies and TV series. ATV TV series are broadcast using a share system. The website has seven levels, and ATV has 30%. It is calculated based on the number of clicks and the playback time.
If advertising revenue is included, Starlight Video website is likely to be profitable this year.
In fact, the current situation, Echang Video and Yiyi Video, the two websites are also surprised. This is three billion, not thirty yuan.
The top executives of both companies proposed price reductions one after another, but they were all rejected by the CEOs.
Where has the cost of purchasing films been in recent years? The current fee is only to protect capital. If the price drops further, you will lose money.
Especially for Yiyi Video, which is a company listed in the United States, once the membership price decreases, the stock price will inevitably fall.
But if you don’t lower the price, you will watch the loss of users and traffic.
what to do!
This problem falls on the heads of the two companies.
Duan Daolin was very shrewd. When he saw this situation, he immediately took action and began to discuss variety shows with the TV station.
Gao went to Yiyun Club, discussed with Lao Guo, and reached a cooperation agreement.
Soon, the Starlight Video website and Yiyunshe issued a joint statement. The two companies reached a strategic cooperation. In the next ten years, Yiyunshe's performance videos will be exclusively broadcast by Starlight Video.
Gao Jin is also very generous, with a signing fee of 50 million yuan, and a share of the follow-up video clicks.
Today's Yiyunshe is not yet the cross talk group of later generations. Fifty million was an astronomical figure in 2017, and no company would give this price.
After signing the contract, Lao Guo continued to express his gratitude to Gao Jin.
As expected of Mr. Gao’s son, he handles things with dignity!
If Lao Guo knew the influence of the cross talk group in a few years, he would probably say that he was careless and hasty.
The enemy is so cunning that you cannot guard against him.
Starlight Video is operating prosperously, and other branches are not idle either.
For Fengshou Agriculture Company, customized equipment began to be shipped one after another, and personnel recruitment activities began to slowly begin.
Shengguang Solar has also sent notices to four foreign dealers, inviting them to come over for a meeting. The global promotion of the Shengguang brand will begin.
The brand director was already in place and was interviewed by Gao Jin personally. Jennifer, the vice president of Havas, the second largest advertising and communication group in France, was poached by Korn Ferry.
The price is not low,
The annual salary is 1.2 million euros, and the contract is for three years, which is higher than Yu Jingjie's salary.
This is the value of international talent.
If you achieve the goal of Shengguang Solar Energy Company within three years, you will receive a one-time reward of 5 million euros.
With the incentive of a huge bonus, Jennifer devoted all her energy. After fully understanding the products of Shengguang Solar Company, Jennifer began to formulate a publicity plan.
Use the performance data provided by various research institutes to highlight the selling point of clean energy, the selling point of being the world's number one in efficiency, and the selling point of Shengguang products designated by China and Japan for use in satellite solar panels.
A huge plan has been formulated, which does not include the Americas for the time being, because there are no distributors in the Americas yet.
The publicity plan covers Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific countries, European countries, and the Middle East.
TV promotion, outdoor advertising promotion, media interview promotion, new media promotion...etc., comprehensive coverage of promotion.
Attack competitors' products to improve your own products, and step on competitors to gain the upper hand.
The entire program budget exceeds 900 million euros.
Yu Jingjie was shocked when he saw the report. This decision was not his to make, so he took Jennifer and the report to see Gao Jin.
Gao Jin communicated with Jennifer and approved the plan, and the funds will be allocated subsequently.
To save trouble, we will allocate euros directly instead of rmb.
At the same time, Gao Jinyou discussed the salary with Yu Jingjie, and Yu Jingjie expressed his understanding that international talents are worth this price.
At the very least, Yu Jingjie is now asked to do the things Jennifer planned. Yu Jingjie knows very well that he does not have the ability.
Regardless of his vision or ability, Yu Jingjie considers himself inferior to Jennifer when it comes to dealing with the international market and combating competitors.
Yu Jingjie's current salary has improved exponentially compared to before joining Xingling Group. As long as it keeps increasing every year, Yu Jingjie has no objection.
When the conversation got to this point, Gao Jin agreed.
At the end of this year, when there is a new round of salary adjustments at the end of the year, Yu Jingjie's salary will be significantly increased.
There is no other way. When international talents join the group, they will definitely break the existing wage system. Gao Jin and Zhou Ziru are both mentally prepared for this.
