In an office building in Pengcheng, Liu Hao sat in front of a large computer and was operating. Brother Ma was guiding him with a smile on his face, and there was a circle of people around him.
It feels very familiar, but looking at the square and primitive interface, it feels a little strange.
After some tedious operations, Liu Hao successfully registered an account "666666", and after sending a message to Brother Xiao Ma's account, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
He then showed a satisfied smile, which immediately aroused cheers from the people around him.
After all, Liu Hao is the investment boss. If the investment boss is satisfied and happy, he might give them an additional amount of funds for research and development with a wave of his hand.
Liu Hao smiled and signaled for silence, and then gave himself some advice as an experiencer:
"How should I put it, I feel very good, this software is good, but now, there are several instant messaging software on the market. You want to bring it to the market. If you want to be competitive, I think you can
Optimize the software and make it take up less memory. You all know how fast the Internet is now and how slow downloads are..."
As soon as these words were said, Brother Xiao Ma and others immediately understood that, not to mention the era when the network card was scolded when the computer was released a few years ago, the speed of dial-up Internet at this time is even slower, and downloading a thing usually only takes a few kb per second.
If the software capacity is slightly larger, the download waiting time will be extremely fast.
Now, with the same functional software, the smaller the capacity, the more competitive it is.
"Okay, I'll write it down." Xiao Ma nodded and responded, and someone next to him wrote it down.
Liu Hao thought for a while and continued: "There is also this interface. I have seen several similar software. The interfaces are all flashy and have ads. It is dazzling and annoying. I think the interface is so simple.
Just keep it simple..."
Brother Xiao Ma suddenly became a little worried and said: "If there are no ads on the interface, a lot of advertising revenue will be lost..."
The only profit points that Xiao Ma can think of now are advertising and future membership fees.
Liu Hao just shook his head and laughed and said: "Can you compete with those portal websites for advertising revenue? You can't compete. With the current Internet user base, the amount of advertising that businesses can invest in the emerging industry of the Internet is limited.
, the cake you can share is too small. With this advertising fee, can you ensure a balance of payments? It can't be guaranteed. In this case, what does it matter if there is less advertising fee?
The key now is how to attract more users, have a huge user group, and with traffic, we can do more things..."
"Can you do more?" Xiao Ma looked a little confused. In later generations, he didn't figure out how to monetize the huge user base for a long time, and he almost sold Penguin for a cabbage price at a loss.
Liu Hao pretended to think deeply for a moment, then said: "I haven't figured it out yet. I just thought that users of my novel website usually register by email, but I think if you have more users of this software, you can also use it.
Register your software...."
Liu Hao just mentioned it a little bit and didn't want to say more. In fact, through the memories of later generations, he knew Penguin's development path and also knew some of its profit methods, but Liu Hao didn't want to tell Brother Ma in advance.
Liu Hao is wary.
If Xiao Ma knew Penguin's profit method, it would be easier to attract investment from elsewhere when funds are tight, and he would not be as dependent on himself as he is now.
This is good now, and you will have a better chance of retaining or increasing your shares in the future.
Brother Xiao Ma fell into a brief thought. He couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he nodded and asked people to write down what Liu Hao said.
He also hopes that after the launch of his software, he can attract more users. The more users, the better. As for the increased development and operating expenses after the increase in users...
If there is no money, wouldn’t there still be Liu Hao’s big water pipe?
Brother Xiao Ma didn't hesitate, and suddenly made a somewhat unspeakable request:
"When software is launched on the market, it needs to be promoted. I think it will be easier to gain popularity if there is a popular spokesperson to help promote it..."
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Hao, the meaning was self-evident.
"Do you know that my endorsement fee is very expensive, at least several million a year, can you afford it?"
Liu Hao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the later generations of people such as Brother Ma and others who dressed up as women to chat to attract users.
Xiaoma Ge and others followed and giggled.
Liu Hao suppressed his smile and continued: "Well, I still like your software very much. After all, it is my career. If you need my cooperation if you need anything, just give me a call..."
After chatting for a while, Liu Hao soon ended the topic. Before leaving, Liu Hao remembered the ring tones he had asked them to develop and asked.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Brother Ma looked embarrassed and explained to Liu Hao, which made Liu Hao frown.
A lot of professional vocabulary was used, but Liu Hao didn't understand much. He probably understood that it was technically difficult and took time, and finding a partner also took time.
Some communication carriers are interested in the CRBT business, but it is not a demand. Only if you develop this business can they possibly cooperate with you to promote it.
This time point is still too early, those compact mobile phones are only gradually beginning to be promoted, and even SMS services are not necessary, let alone ringtones.
Liu Hao couldn't blame them for this, so he could only tell them to move faster.
After leaving Pengcheng, Liu Hao rushed back to the capital to hold his last concert.
Still at the Workers' Stadium, with the experience of holding a concert last time, this concert was even more successful.
A perfect end to more than two months of touring.
During the concert, there was the release and promotion of the new album, the release of the movie and road shows, the rehearsals and performances of the Spring Festival Gala, and commercial performances to make extra money.
During most days during this period, Liu Hao could only rest for two or three hours a day. No matter how young and strong his body was, he felt a little exhausted.
Although he was fine and light, he was suddenly released from the high pressure, which made him exhausted all of a sudden.
In the next period of time, Liu Hao gave himself a short vacation to rest and recuperate.
Yu Feihong rushed back from his hometown in Hangzhou with his daughter. On February 17, Liu Hao spent their birthdays with them.
Liu Hao and his daughter had the same birthday, so they celebrated their birthdays on the same day.
Then, Liu Hao stayed with Gao Yuanyuan for a while. The Chinese Theater Academy was about to start school, and Zeng Li rushed back to the capital from his hometown of Jingzhou, so Liu Hao had to spend a few days with her.
Fortunately, I have Wang Jinghua as my wingman to help with the cover, so I can still manage my time, but it is not easy to deal with several women.
Liu Hao enjoyed it at first, then he felt pain and joy, and then gradually became a little powerless.
Why does resting feel more tiring than working?
Fortunately, a phone call from his elder brother rescued Liu Hao from his tenderness.
The eldest brother has already started preparing for his second movie "Chi Ling", and he is responsible for all matters related to the movie.
With the success of the first film, the eldest brother has now become a new and well-known director, and Liu Hao stars as the director. It is quite easy to attract investment.
The planned investment for the movie "Chi Ling" is 8 million, and there will be more in the future. Almost all of it is investment. Forbidden City Pictures invested 3 million, and the rest is almost all investment from others.
Liu Hao's film company has almost no investment in film production fees. As a film producer, it will also be responsible for the promotion and distribution of the movie in the future. After the movie is released, Liu Hao's share of the box office revenue, after deducting the promotion and distribution fees, will be the remaining
Hao's film company can get 30% of the share.
Regardless of the success or failure of the movie or the box office, it will definitely make money by then.
It’s just a matter of making more or less.
This is borrowing money to lay eggs, using other people's money to fulfill yourself and make money for yourself.
