Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"Who can tell me, what is the brand of the drone at the opening ceremony, and where can I sell it?"

"Agreed!"

"The drone is so cool!"

"It's really unexpected that our serious meeting style has become lively."

"Haha, and that little car with feet is very interesting, what's that thing called?"

"Balance car!"

"Maiwo Mall sells them all. I took a look at the price and advise everyone to think twice!"

"I also took a look, and the poor can't afford it, so I can only wait for the local tyrants to make videos!"

Drones and self-balancing vehicles are too niche now, and the price has not been suppressed. Basically, it costs 10,000+, and it will be fine in a few years. There are thousands of household-grade products, so that less wealthy netizens can enjoy themselves.

These two big items couldn't be afforded, so the onlookers naturally focused on small gadgets, such as the fashionable Meizu bracelet.

The bracelet appeared as a gift, and every guest had it, but it was not on the shelves in the mall.

"Isn't Meizu making mobile phones? How did you start researching these things?"

"People have long said that they want to build a smart home!"

"Obviously a sponsor of the conference, maybe there will be events later?"

"I want a bracelet!!!"

At night, Yao Yuan had just left the hospital and was sitting in the car heading to Gubei Water Town. As long as he has time, he will come back to look at it. The frequent running around makes him a little tired, but he can't help smiling when he sees the enthusiasm on Weibo.

Sure enough, the bracelet is the hard currency.

The bracelet has two main functions: monitoring various sports data and monitoring sleep quality.

Why did it become popular in later generations? Yao Yuan thinks it is the rise of fitness culture and people's anxiety.

Studying, falling in love, getting married, having children, raising children, working, buying a house, medical care, pensions, nuclear radiation, everything seems to be full of anxiety.

Naturally, health anxiety is also included, leading to the popularity of products related to sports, fitness, and health preservation. For example, the function of monitoring sleep quality, whether it is accurate or not, this function is very popular with wage earners.

Of course, there is another group of people who really love fitness. If they have time and energy, they have to buy equipment.

"Boss, we're here!"

"Um!"

In the cool autumn night, Yao Yuan arrived at Gubei Water Town again.

The light show of Simatai Great Wall has just started. In the combination of real scene and illusion, under the majestic and solemn music and colorful light and shadow, it seems to reproduce that period of history.

This is the Ming Great Wall.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were nine important towns, and Miyun belonged to Jizhen, from Shanhaiguan in the east to Juyongguan in the west.

"ha!"

Yao Yuan sat below, feeling the slightly chilly autumn night, and yawned boredly—from the preparation to the present, he had watched this crap program no less than 20 times.

"Wow, boom!"

Finally, the show was over, and the big stage in Riyue Island Square became lively again, and a opera performance began.

Yao Yuan lost his patience, and dragged a few foreigners into the hotel, and Yu Jiajia also rushed over.

…………

In the first year of its launch in North America, Hugelive has developed more than 2 million paying members. So far, this number has exceeded 16 million.

It has become the second largest streaming media platform in the United States, and the first is Netflix, which is in the early 50 million.

Netflix's focus is in South America and Europe, but Hugelive's focus is in Asia, and the results are very good. Nearly half of the 16 million members are growing in Asia.

Such a scale is enough to attract the attention of capital.

Goldman Sachs, Sequoia, Atlantic Investment Group, BlackRock, State Street, Fidelity, Temasek, etc., have old shareholders and new shareholders who want to join, all of which are the world's top capitals.

"First of all, welcome to China!"

"The conference has its agenda, and we have our own agenda. I know that you are not here for the conference, but at my personal invitation. I am very grateful!"

Yao Yuan sat in the middle and started with a smile.

"Hugelive has been established for 3 years, and it is almost out. At this moment, we need more experienced friends to help us to complete the listing on NASDAQ next year..."

"Wow, boom!"

There was a burst of reserved applause, and the three new shareholder representatives stood up to pay their respects.

"Hugelive has 9 million paying members in North America and 7.5 million members in Asia. In the future, we will still focus on these two places to further penetrate the Asian market.

The ones with the greatest potential are naturally South Korea and Japan.

Taking South Korea as an example, let's briefly analyze..."

Yu Jiajia didn't speak, Yao Yuan went up by himself and said, "Since the late 1980s, Hollywood has conquered the global market. At that time, South Korea implemented a quota system for Hollywood films. After negotiations between the two countries, South Korea abolished the restrictions and realized the film industry. Import liberalization.

But movies are more than just an import link. The South Korean government has issued regulations: each movie theater shows domestic movies at least 146 days a year, and the movie channels of TV stations have at least 40% of domestic movies every year. Foreign companies have no right to import video tapes, which can only be designated by the Korean government Imported by several large enterprises.

In this way, they have secured the three major channels of cinemas, TV stations, and audio-visual products.

Therefore, even though the momentum of Hollywood is fierce, Korean movies have achieved their rise and created a very mature industrial chain, including the TV drama industry.

Up to now, Korean movies can account for about 60% of the total box office every year, surpassing Hollywood.

This is their victory!

but……"

Yao Yuan smiled and said: "The times are different, streaming media is here! Streaming media doesn't care about the three traditional channels, what we have established is a new rule.

South Korea will be the core of Hugelive's strategy. Winning South Korea is half the battle.

Why do you say that?

Korean film and television may seem fierce, but they have actually reached the ceiling. Their population is small, and the limit of the film market size is just over 1 trillion won, which is about 900 million US dollars.

900 million US dollars, that is, the global box office of a Marvel movie.

The ceiling is low and exports are weak, which leads to the locked-in cost of shooting Korean movies, which is about 10 million U.S. dollars per film.

But we don't care, what we want is to occupy the market, we can use the money-burning model to plunder their best resources, let them form an industrial dependence, and finally give us an OEM! "

"Consignment?"

"You mean film and television OEM?"

"It's an interesting statement!"

Shareholders chimed in, expressing great interest.

"Under the traditional model, they can participate in all aspects of filming, distribution, and screening, but streaming media does not need it. We want them to become suppliers, only responsible for filming, and the follow-up has nothing to do with it!

We buy out the work and pay once, and all subsequent benefits have nothing to do with it!

South Korea has a mature film and television industry, and it can make any kind of film at a low cost, and we need a huge amount of content, so they are the best targets for plunder. "

Yao Yuan also became excited, and continued: "There is still Hong Kong!

Hong Kong has a CULT film foundation, and its action and speed are second to none in the world, and it can also integrate well with Asian culture. We have won Hong Kong, and then won South Korea, two major OEMs, occupying the Asian market! "

(besides……)
