Back To 2005

"It's almost lunch, I'll treat you to it."

After inspecting the two houses and finding no problems, Wang Xiaoxiao looked at the time and felt that she should be dismissed from get out of class after collecting four bags.

Only when things come and go can they last forever.

"Okay, I'd like to eat something light."

Someone was treating someone, so of course Zhou Anan would not refuse and made his request directly.

It's just that his food in Hong Kong City has been a bit greasy recently and he needs some light food to change his appetite.

"Okay, I'll treat you to porridge as a courtesy."

Upon hearing Brother An's request, Wang Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and waved his hand grandly.

An Xiaodi is good at taking care of others, even helping her save money on meals.

"..."

In the end, we had a fairly light lunch at a porridge restaurant by the West Lake. The total cost was less than 150 yuan, and naturally Miss Wang rushed to pay for it.

In the afternoon, Blue Whale Entertainment had a small meeting. Miss Wang made an appointment with her best friend to go shopping, so Zhou Anan took her to the company.

"I'm going to the meeting first."

Leaving Miss Wang in the office, Zhou Anan went to the small conference room without a chance to enjoy the fingertip massage of the beautiful secretary.

"...There are several locations for the building..."

First of all, General Manager Feng first talked about the location of the new headquarters building. The four shareholders unanimously decided to buy a new building on Wensan Road, not far from the Celebrity Group Building.

Now that the economic crisis is prevailing, many real estate companies are selling office buildings at low prices. Blue Whale Entertainment has taken advantage of the lowest price this time.

Zhou Anan knows very well that once the government starts to stimulate the domestic economy, housing prices in Hangzhou will rise accordingly.

Well, if you think about it this way, the tens of millions that could not be used in Lizhou can be invested in the real estate market in Hangzhou.

Ask someone about this when you have time.

"Brother An, brother An..."

"I'll read the script when I have time."

Zhou Anan, who was thinking about his big investment career, was brought back to his senses by General Manager Feng. He nodded and accepted the job, but he was a little helpless.

With the establishment of the Internet Copyright Association and the requirements of relevant departments, some large-scale video websites that are preparing for sustainable development have begun to offline non-copyrighted film and television resources. The dominant tomorrow video website has been strongly launched, from TX mainstream websites, TT pop-ups to micro Customers were bombarded with ads in all directions, and the click-through rate increased significantly.

In order to attract small self-written and directed productions and quickly enrich the copyright library, Tomorrow Video launched an exclusive video click reward program of "200 million cash reward", and the response was very enthusiastic.

Ever since, someone has proposed a VIP trial system.

Seeing that the situation was good, the management of Tomorrow Video decided to trial the VIP system after the Lunar New Year and planned to set up a VIP area to test the waters, and the exclusive use of online dramas naturally became a priority.

Without attractive film and television resources, it is impossible to get users who have watched online videos for many years to pay.

Filming TV series is definitely a specialty of Blue Whale Entertainment.

Under the proposal of TX, the controlling shareholder who is not short of money, in addition to spending 200 million on the exclusive video click reward plan, Tomorrow Video will also invest an additional 200 million in funds to create exclusive online dramas and attract the first batch of VIP users .

This was also what Zhou Anan was worried about at the beginning. TX was too wealthy to do things and spent money like water. It was unclear how long it could last with more than 800 million yuan in the early stage.

Fortunately, these 200 million production funds will go into the pockets of Blue Whale Entertainment in the future.

In terms of web drama production, Zhou Anan still has great advantages in selecting scripts.

Just those series that I never expected, the men's fishing series, the beloved concubine of the second generation series, the five-star mage series, the soul swing series, the so-and-so series of a thousand years old, the beauty is trapped, etc.

There are a lot of online dramas with good reputation and clicks in Zhou Anan's mind, waiting for him to find the corresponding scripts, or write them out and let professional online writers and screenwriters expand them.

"However, if the problem of piracy is not solved, I think this VIP system is a bit too early."

After agreeing, Zhou Anan, who was not directly involved in managing Tomorrow Video, gave a reminder.

Now that the Internet Copyright Association has just been established, many systems are not perfect enough, and piracy is still rampant on the Internet.

It is too early to try out the VIP system at this time.

He walked too fast and accidentally pulled his balls.

In Zhou An'an's impression, piracy on the Internet will be significantly reduced only after many large free resource websites are cracked down and rectified, and it will take at least four or five years to enter the VIP era of the four major websites.

As for why Zhou Anan knows so well, it's just because he was one of the boring netizens who scolded the VIP system of various websites for cheating money.

Nowadays, the position under the butt determines the head. Zhou Anan naturally wants to make more money from online copyrights, otherwise where will the production of movies and TV series be repaid?

Of course, Zhou Anan can understand TX's eagerness for quick success.

The financial crisis has intensified. TX, which originally had a market value of 130 billion at its highest point in October last year, has seen its share price cut by one-third in just two months.

Today, TX urgently needs some profit growth points to boost the confidence of investors and the market.

But if we continue to burn money according to this idea, it will take at least several years.

"The directors of several of our associations have discussed this issue and submitted their opinions to the relevant departments. The relevant departments attach great importance to our proposal and will discuss it in the near future. I believe that some favorable policies will be introduced."

Regarding the question of major shareholders, Feng Jiming, one of the directors of the Internet Copyright Association, gave a vague answer.

He also doesn't agree with TX's wealthy approach.

But when funds are abundant, this method of burning money is indeed the fastest way for video websites to develop.

"This uncertainty factor is too great. TX can't extend it, right?"

Knocking on the table, Zhou Anan asked a question with a clear answer.

"Yes."

"Then let's create two more high-quality online dramas, hoping to attract a few more users."

Without struggling on this issue, Zhou Anan was helpless and motioned to General Manager Feng to continue.

Although these 200 million production funds will go into the pockets of Blue Whale Entertainment, you can imagine what will happen next. If you want to maintain the shares of Tomorrow Video, Blue Whale Entertainment will definitely have to keep pouring money into it.

It is hoped that the income from the online copyrights of the company's film, television dramas and variety shows will be worth the expenditure.

Otherwise, if you cooperate with TX on a video website, you don’t know whether you will make a profit or a loss.

"It's almost the end of the year, can our company hold a year-end celebration?"

After talking about other things, Feng Jiming talked about the year-end celebration.

Last year, because the company was not too big, we just had a meal together without any ceremony.

Blue Whale has expanded rapidly this year, with three program teams and dozens of artists. Without a year-end celebration, it always feels like it lacks the temperament of a big entertainment company.

"It's up to you to arrange this."

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements."

After handling the affairs of Blue Whale Entertainment, Zhou Anan declined Miss Wang's suggestion to go shopping and enjoyed a fingertip massage from the beautiful secretary in the office.

Zhou Anan, who was preparing to go back to Lucheng to go to school, received an impromptu call from Wang Rong and took a trip to the Hangcheng training branch.

Compared with the last time I came here, there are some more slogans and wall paintings in the corridor of the training department, which makes it a little more popular.

"Mr. Zhou, please come this way."

Seeing the young and beautiful professor again, Zhou Anan found that he had a bit more confidence in him.

It seems that the good start in the first semester of the training department has allowed her to find her own position.

"...Not bad, what do you think of the future development of the training department?"

After listening to the brief report of the two persons in charge, Zhou Anan, who had memorized the profits, asked.

"We asked someone to investigate... We feel that now is a good opportunity for us to fully enter various prefecture-level cities in Jiang Province. We hope to get your support."

Looking at each other, Tao Qinglian mentioned a goal they had discussed.

Nowadays, many chain training institutions are expanding aggressively. If they fall behind, they may be left behind forever.

Although Ivy English has only been established for half a year, its good performance is enough to prove the capital for expansion.

Needless to say, Zhuangyuan Education, not to mention the Hangzhou branch’s profit of nearly 1 million this semester, let alone the three branches in Haizhou, the profits are astonishingly high.

The most important thing is that Tao Qinglian, who entered the management two years later, must take the lead in the expansion of Zhuangyuan Education and must strike first.
