American Fortune Life

The meeting area in the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel.

A red mahogany long table, six solid wood chairs with comfortable cushions and pillows, Andy stretched his body lazily, facing the beautiful scenery of Hyde Park outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, with his eyes slightly closed, Holding a cup of steaming and fragrant coffee in his hand, he was listening to the briefing of his assistant, Christina.

"The 'Iron Man' crew has begun filming . . .

The improvement of the "Today's Headlines" APP has reached the final stage, and the promotion of the website is going smoothly. . .

The first broadcast data of "Mad Men" produced by AMC has come out, and the word-of-mouth response is good, but the ratings can only be regarded as mediocre. . .

Although the HULU video website has recently negotiated the joint investment of NBC, FOX, and ABC, the joining of strong traditional media has not received enough attention. On the contrary, it has attracted bad news. one slice. Most of the media pointed out that the integration among the three major broadcasting companies in the United States, which are rivals to each other, is unlikely to work, and the emergence of Hulu is just the last effort of traditional media to face new media. . . "

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, and he smiled noncommittally, but the sarcasm was obvious. However, he opened his eyes and glanced at a well-fitting OL black suit with a pair of glasses. The mature and less FU charming female assistant asked casually: "What do you think? Regarding hulu videos."

"...I have no way of judging whether this video site will be successful. It depends on when the site will be profitable. After all, video sites around the world are facing the problem of "burning money". The current online video industry still adheres to the "traffic equals Income, the higher the traffic, the higher the income" concept, but the traffic data of HULU video is not optimistic..."

"Huh?" Andy hummed lightly, his eyes became serious, he looked up and down at his female assistant who was still in the probationary period, and couldn't help being surprised by what she said before, it seemed that she was really capable.

"A lot of people laugh at me, it's nothing new to copy other video sites, Hulu is just a "clown" who just debuted, hehe, I will create a profit myth to swell the faces of those people, what I want is to subvert Do you really think that NBC, ABC, and FOX, the three major TV stations, will use their own money and resources to gamble?

No one is a fool. Since the establishment of HULU Video, in addition to building and perfecting the website, the rest is to run around and cooperate with employees. I even do not hesitate to let NBC, ABC, and FOX become shareholders of the company, and impress with the strategic awareness of traditional media transformation. When they join the group, they can own two-thirds of the high-quality film and television resources in the United States at a relatively low price, without the troubles that other video sites often have that the content is not good enough, not enough, not enough new. "

Andy seems to be introducing it to his work assistant, and he seems to be talking to himself, but in his heart he is extremely convinced that Hulu will succeed, because Hulu's core competitiveness is unrivaled video content. In other words, without the support of the three 10% shareholders and film and television content production organizations, Hulu would lose its magic weapon to win, and its success would be empty talk.

Remembering that the plan arranged for the Hulu video company was completed step by step until it reached the current level, this is already his expected goal.

The first step was to allow HULU Video to complete long-term cooperation agreements with niche channel content providers, including the American Comedy Central Channel, Sundance Channel, and American Public Television;

The second step is to obtain cooperation with more than 220 major traditional media content producers, including Sony, MGM, Warner Bros., Lionsgate and the NBA, through continuous negotiations and negotiations.

But at this time, Andy's part of the start-up funds for HULU video is almost spent,

At the same time, after several months of operation, the value of HULU video has also been reflected. Therefore, the negotiation team composed of video websites and think tanks began to contact NBC, FOX, and ABC, hoping to introduce these three investors to obtain follow-up expansion funds and their own video programs.

As a result, Andy achieved what he had thought when he founded the hulu video website, without spending too much money, to build a video store with the largest number of programs on the Internet and a one-stop service.

Now that all the layouts have been completed, the next thing is easy, and Andy has to come up with a real killer, making HULU Video the most popular video website for advertisers and Internet users in one fell swoop.

"Go on and read..." Andy has decided to hold a video conference with the management of the HULU website, and tell them all his ideas and marketing models, so that he can collect money with peace of mind in the future.

"Bangziguo FNC company Han Chenghao wants to start a music education system project, and the training of a girl band is officially included as one of the company's future projects. Since the band's debut 3 months ago, the sales volume of regular albums has ranked sixth..."

"Okay, I'm not interested in hearing about the little money Han Chenghao made. The total sales volume is more than a dozen to two hundred thousand copies. It doesn't matter whether you report this kind of thing, but the music education school he mentioned, for He reported that as long as he is self-sufficient, he can start the school project, but he will not be injected with capital.

By the way, how about the income of those variety shows in Bangzi Country? "

Andy really doesn't care about the profit Han Chenghao is making now, and will pay more attention to the market value after the listing in the later stage. As for now, let's play by ourselves.

"The Mockingjay copyright company only reported the income figures of those variety shows, which totaled around 2 million US dollars. There is no specific data."

Hearing the female assistant's words, Andy pointed his chin with his fingers and narrowed his eyes slightly. He was really dissatisfied with the profit, but Bangziguo is a strange thing, so he really just took his time.

"Boss, David Dunn is here, and Mr. William has also arrived." Little assistant Tory Black walked into the meeting area and said to Andy.

"Let them come over, Christina, you can record the minutes of the meeting." Andy nodded.

Christina, the work assistant, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and finally passed the test. It seems that this high-paying job has been saved, and the many homework she has done during this period of time is not in vain. Being able to contact the business core of the big boss shows that the boss approves it. her.

"Good morning, boss." As soon as David Dunn entered the meeting area, he smiled and reached out to meet the hand extended by the boss, greeting and shaking hands.

"David, sit down first. Tell Tori what you want to drink." Andy nodded with a smile, motioned David Dunn to take a seat first, and then cast his eyes on another Chinese man named William who was dressed as a Wall Street Jing who came in together. young people.

"William, how is today? I hope you bring me good news."

"Good day, boss." William greeted Andy with a relaxed smile on his face. After shaking hands with the big boss, he opened his computer bag, took out a notebook, and put it on the table On, after turning on the computer and entering the password, he turned the laptop screen to the big boss and said.

"Boss, you can rest assured that everything is going according to plan. The liquidation can be completed today. It will take time to settle the assets."

Andy looked at the trend charts of the selected stocks on the computer screen and knew that these stocks were the targets of the Predator London team. "What is the current situation?"

"We completed the accumulation at the bottom. After the Bank of England decided to rescue the market on the 18th, the stock price began a retaliatory rebound. There is currently upward pressure. We judge that there is no new positive stimulus. The prices of these bank stocks that have fallen sharply, It will not be able to return to the previous price, so we decided to liquidate the position, and we are currently operating the stock price shock adjustment, so that we can easily get out of the whole body."

While pressing the keyboard, William showed Andy the graphs, and explained to the big boss in simple and bright words.

After all, Andy is no longer a financial novice. After reading the curve charts of various stocks, he is relieved. No wonder some media in London incited public opinion to accuse him of Andy Smith taking advantage of the fire. )!!
