Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Chapter 703 The first overseas project

It is said that in Yao Yuan’s era, the taste of the New Year has become less and less. Perhaps only the red lanterns all over the street, the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, and the rotten Spring Festival Gala can still show some symbolic meaning: “Oh, it’s the Chinese New Year!”

It's still good, with some festive atmosphere.

Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

All the things that should be done have been done, and the New Year's greetings that should be paid are over. Yao Yuan is in the window period, lying on the bed and happily swiping his phone.

At the beginning of the mobile era, he jumped on it hungry and thirsty, like a person who has been pulling dry toilets for ten years and finally saw a flush toilet.

He even suffered from battery anxiety disorder early on. When the rate is lower than 50%, he will feel flustered, restless, afraid to go out, and seems to be abandoned by the whole world...

"Are you still lying down? Don't you eat?"

"Not hungry."

"Then why don't you drink some soy milk?"

"Um!"

Yinyin brought over a bowl of soymilk ground by herself, and Yao Yuan stood up like a patient, gurgling dry, sighing: "You are better than my mother!"

"How to say?"

"If I say I'm not hungry or eat, they will mutter endlessly, and they will bark once in a while until I sit at the dinner table, as if I have to eat this meal with them, and if I don't eat it, I will break the law."

"It's the same with my parents. It's the same for the older generation. Just wait for the young people to become parents."

Yinyin put the bowl away, got into bed and curled up in his arms, also staring at his phone, said: "Reading web articles again? I have never understood, why do you love reading web articles so much?"

"These days you hold a mobile phone, don't watch videos, don't play games, don't watch side girls, but read online articles, then you are already a cultural person."

Yao Yuan paused, and said, "This is what Dostoevsky said!"

"Tch! You like it so much, why don't you start an online literature website?"

"The market is too small, and I don't like to play with it."

"Then it doesn't take too much effort to buy one. It's just what it's called. Isn't it the largest in the country?"

"Hugh's talking nonsense, it will 404!"

Yao Yuan stopped drinking.

He really doesn't like to mess around. The online literature industry is not big or small. The market size in 2022 will reach 38.9 billion.

Web text is an important IP production base, which can produce film and television, animation, games and so on. But those adapted works, very few are of good quality, and most of them are made by Blind Jiebao.

Yao Yuan knows which works are going to be popular, just grab a big IP, there is no need to set up a dedicated website - if you really want to do it, do you have to fight a business war with a certain point?

Alas!

"..."

He lay on his side and continued to look at Old Demon Han.

After watching for a while, Zhou Hongyi suddenly called: "Hello? Mr. Yao, are you free today, come to Huairou to play a gunfight?"

"This sixth grader..."

Just as 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, so I should meet him anyway?"

oh!

Lao Zhou wanted to set up a bureau, and knew people like Liu Qiangdong and Yu Jiajia. Yao Yuan was supposed to do this, but he quickly forgot.

"Mr. Liu is easy to say, Mr. Yu went to the road show."

"Roadshow? Going public?"

"Yes, Maili Video is almost finished, maybe we can go on the market with you in batches. Let her make an appointment on another day. I'll call Mr. Liu first. How about noon?"

"It's noon, it's time to eat after playing."

"Well!"

Just after hanging up the phone, Yin Yin shook off his arm and jumped up: "Go and shoot!"

She ran to the cloakroom, stripped herself naked, and began to change quickly, urging: "Hurry up, wake up, you'd better eat something, or you won't have the strength!"

"well!"

Yao Yuan turned his back to the sky, he hated this kind of physical activity the most.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the executives who went home for the Chinese New Year are almost back. He ordered a circle, called a dozen people, and went to the 360 ​​training base in Huairou.

360 suffered a lot last year, but it turned around again, and everything went smoothly when it restarted the IPO.

Yao Yuan holds 20% of the shares and is the largest shareholder.

Zhou Hongyi also called his friends, and it was considered a friendship. The two parties played live CS together for an afternoon. It snowed during the Spring Festival, and it happened to form a snow map, which was quite immersive.

Yao Yuan paddled all kinds of water, got headshot on his own initiative, and happily rolled down to drink hot water.

Yin Yin and Lao Zhou became the leaders of the two teams, commanding their teammates to charge into the battle, and finally died together, allowing Cheng Wei to capture the flag and pick up the leak...

Play until evening, go to farm food for dinner.

Liu Qiangdong hit it off with him at first sight, and the two drunkards drank a total of four catties of liquor, and then brought a few bottles of beer to hangover, um, hangover with beer.

In reality, they were good friends.

Zhou Hongyi is envious of Dongzi looking for a milk tea girl, so he teases: "Qiangdong is very motivated to exercise, and he is surrounded by a post-90s little beauty every day, can he not exercise?"

Later he divorced.

…………

While a group of people were having fun, President Yu had just returned from the United States.

Historically, Youku went public last year, and Tudou went public this year. Now, Tudou is in the hands of Liu Weiwei and Wensha, and they have switched to live broadcasting. Youku was hit by a series of eliminations, its performance was not as good as it was, and it was still seeking listing opportunities.

Currently the top four in domestic video: Maili, Qiyi, Youku, Sohu.

All aspects of wheat grain are hanging, and the listing is a matter of course.

Yu Jiajia watched Yao Yuan’s tossing around last year, and this year she has experienced it herself. The 10-day road show made her tired like a dog. The video website can’t play any concept, at most it is a “Chinese version of YouTube”.

Foreigners are not very interested, and the valuation is not high.

Yu Jiajia is also very excited, she has 18% of the shares!

night, Hong Kong.

Yu Jiajia returned to the hotel exhausted. During the day, she just finished her road show in Hong Kong and met a bunch of investors. Each one hour, held five meetings.

"Mr. Yu, the water temperature has improved!"

"Well, call me in an hour!"

"OK!"

Xu Meng is the executive of Maili Video, so he was naturally there, and he put the bath water for Mr. Yu.

Yu Jiajia is nearly 40 years old and has spent a lot of money on maintenance. The overall condition is still very young, and the experience and ease of a mature woman are revealed in the youth, which is quite attractive.

Lying in the bathtub, she quickly relieved her fatigue with the help of hot water. Instead of thinking about wheat grains, she thought about Hugelive.

Yao Yuan regards this year as the first year for the 99 Group to go overseas, with three key projects: games, video, and mobile phones.

Video is Hugelive, and its creation value is to go to sea.

Later generations of iQiyi, Tencent, Mango TV, etc. are also going overseas. They are mainly targeting Southeast Asia. They achieve the purpose of exporting by launching international versions of apps, acquiring local platforms, and cooperating with local TV stations.

As for the output effect, well...

Then why don't they go to America?

Don't dare to go!

There are Hollywood movies, American TV dramas, Netflix, Disney, Amazon and other world-class giants in streaming media. They went to have fun!

So, no matter how slippery Zhang Yiming is, TikTok is really the most powerful Internet going to sea.

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!"

With Xu Meng's cry, Yu Jiajia stood up, dried her body and put on her clothes, feeling refreshed again.

"Let's go!"

The two went out to meet American investors.

(no more...)
