The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

"Boss, aren't you very optimistic about YouTube? Are we going to continue to increase our stake in YouTube? Why did we suddenly reduce our holdings?" Dom looked at Yang Dongxu in confusion.

"I've learned about the situation on the oil pipeline. If the development is good, it is estimated that the second round of financing will start in the second half of the year, and then it will be listed.

As the current most likely to become the United States, or even the world's largest video download and upload website. A major shareholder of Huaxia will only add a lot of trouble, but not help much, even if we are willing to pay. "Yang Dongxu shrugged helplessly.

If it is just financing, then there is no problem, but if it is listed next. Well, as an emerging Internet company, when the market share has reached the largest in the world, it is no wonder that the U.S. government does not jump out to find fault.

As long as he is still the major shareholder of YouTube, even if there is nothing to do, he will fix something for you. So after a simple conversion, Yang Dongxu found that spending money to increase his holdings now is far less profitable than waiting for YouTube to go public after reducing his holdings. In addition, the Kennedy family needs to be brought in to join the group, so for the time being, let's change the left hand for the right hand.

"Damn politicians, no, those damn consortiums." Dom couldn't help cursing.

As the largest music website in the United States, and the boss of a very credible online music chart website. Because his big boss is from Huaxia, Dom didn't know how much unequal treatment he had experienced. It wasn't until the website had a certain news and public opinion ability in the past two years that everything became quieter.

A few years ago, those from the Bureau of Commerce, the Taxation Bureau, and some bank loan audits, those government workers almost moved their workplaces to Yiting Technology Company, and he was annoyed by all kinds of inquiries every day .

"Let's do it this time. Financing will dilute our shares, try our best to ensure that the oil pipeline can be listed, and then we will earn back from the stock market. And we have a lot of shares, even after two rounds of dilution, we still have a lot of shares in our hands.

So maybe before the listing, in order to be able to go public smoothly, we have to sell a wave of shares in advance. At that time, high prices were charged to shareholders who came in for financing.

If they are unwilling to pay a high price to buy the shares in our hands, let them solve the government's prejudice against Huaxia shareholders and go public smoothly. "

"That's right, BOSS, just operate like this. If those people don't want to, we will delay the listing. Anyway, we invested 300,000 US dollars from the beginning, and it doesn't matter if we lose." Dom instantly became happy.

He was really upset that the loss of holdings could not be increased this time, but before going public, he thought that those shareholders who paid a lot of money must be even more upset than himself, and he felt a lot more balanced in an instant.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Just keep an eye on it. I have to leave beforehand. You have to take care of the card for me." Yang Dongxu reminded.

"Don't worry, boss, even if something happens to me, nothing will happen to Carney." Dom patted his chest to assure him.

Yang Dongxu nodded, left Yiting Technology, and then met Joss in the Hilton Hotel.

"How's it going over there?"

"The screening of movie scripts has begun, and the director has also found a few. Do you want to check? After all, my old business is still records, although I have been managing Haina Investment for these years.

But that is basically your choice. I just need to watch the investment and then manage the account review. Now I want to make a completely self-made movie, from screening scripts to finding actors and directors, to filming project approval, publicity, release, etc. There are too many things. "Jose said with some helplessness.

Shooting your own blockbuster movie is a necessary step for Heiner, otherwise you always say you have made money in Hollywood for so many years, but you don’t have a masterpiece, how can people recognize you as a film company? But all these things were suddenly in his hands, and Joss, who had never done this kind of work before, was in a hurry.

"Let me introduce someone to you. He should be familiar with things like Hollywood."

"who?"

"Bob Shea, the president of the acquired New Line Films. Although this film is the company's first film, it doesn't have to be completely self-produced. We are the dominant party. The copyright of this film is ours. on the line.

Because I have never worked on a Hollywood movie alone, and we didn't intend to test the waters and make a small production for the first movie. So it is necessary to bring in a few experienced partners. " Yang Dongxu said.

"Shall we take the lead in joint venture shooting?" Joss nodded, "That's a good idea. How much do you plan to invest in this movie?"

Although the script, director, and actors have not yet been confirmed, it is a bit too anxious to start talking about the cost, but Yang Dongxu obviously cannot stay in the United States for too long, so it is better to make decisions in advance for these things that require him to make decisions.

"Between $100 million and $150 million,"

"Starting at 100 million, if the script is confirmed and the actors and directors have the best requirements, then it can be increased as appropriate. So you need to choose a big script and come out."

"What about the type of movie?" Joss continued to ask.

"Let's read the script. You can get the script now. As long as the script is good enough, it can be of any type. I can say hello to Bob first, and I can talk to him directly after confirming the script.

By the way, I still know the great director Peter Jackson, you can ask him about directing. Or if the script is suitable, you can ask him to guide you. "

"I'm afraid he won't be available at that time." In Hollywood, big directors are busier than big stars, and directors have higher status than stars. It is not uncommon in the United States that many movie fans go to the theater not for actors and stars, but for directors.

"Let me help you ask first. Even if there is no schedule, he is still a core member of the director circle. If you want to find a director and let him act as an intermediary, it can save a lot of things."

"Indeed, it is much more convenient for the director to introduce the director. When will you leave the United States?"

"Stay here for a while, I want to sort out other investments here." Yang Dongxu said.

Since he came to the United States, he naturally needs to sort out everything before leaving. Otherwise, if there is no emergency, he does not know when he will come to the United States next time.

"Do you have any other variety shows? Although Haina has an advantage in variety shows, it's not okay to always rely on what's on his laurels, and the variety shows that are currently being drafted. Although our variety shows are more influential, all kinds of imitated variety shows have begun to flood. "

The United States does manage some copyrights well, but that doesn't mean that there are no piracy. Even many tabloids and small TV stations deliberately pirated, and then asked you to sue them for gaining popularity.

You don’t sue him, he pirates to make money, you sue him, he steals your traffic, and then makes a lot of money, it’s disgusting anyway. And it is easy to cause the audience to be overly tired of the talent show variety show.

"There are a few books, which are very popular in Asia. I'll bring the translated videotapes, and you can take the company people to read them one by one later. See if they are more suitable for the US market, and then do some local ones. Change.

Or choose a few and try them all. Anyway, many TV dramas here are filmed and released at the same time. If the results are not good, the later ones will not be filmed.

Variety shows can do the same, choose a few good books, and shoot two or three issues first to see the market reaction and room for improvement. If the market response is good, set the file, and if the response is not good, try other products. "

"Then if this is the case, we can't directly use the company's resources to promote it. This will continue to consume the company's reputation and fans in variety shows.

You can choose some medium-sized TV stations to invest in publicity resources to try. In this way, a contract with high flexibility can be signed, and if it really becomes popular, the big TV station can be replaced. "Jose said.

"You can do what you see." Yang Dongxu said.

Knock knock!

Then someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Wu Sheng walked in. "Master, there is a man named Jack looking for you at the front desk."

"Jack?" Yang Dongxu frowned, and the image of a middle-aged man with beard appeared in his mind.

"Ask him in the coffee shop downstairs, I'll go down later." Although I don't know why Jack asked me suddenly, but since the other party already knows that he lives in Hilton, it's okay to come and see him.

"Then I'll leave first. Anyway, you won't leave the country for the time being. I'm going to discuss something with you." Joss didn't ask who Jack was out of curiosity, and stood up to go back to the company.

"Well, let's call first if you have anything to do. Although I'm in the United States, I'm not necessarily in Los Angeles. You need to get in touch with Bieber. Whether it's his status as a member of the council or as the honorary mayor of Hollywood, it will help us. "Yang Dongxu reminded.

"I know, but if it's possible, I'd like to send someone who manages the Haina company, or hire a CEO. I'm familiar with the record field, and other things are convenient for me, an old man who doesn't want to learn all kinds of things when I'm old." Joss Said half-jokingly.

"After I go back, I will hold a meeting with Haina's top management. You should also pay attention to whether there are suitable candidates." Haina wants to go further, and the management really needs to send a strong leader to come over.

The original choice of Joss is actually overused, after all, Joss' age is here. Who would have thought that Hainer's development in Hollywood would be so bumpy after so many years of use.

Joss put on his hat and left the room, and turned into an old man with British style in his attire. Yang Dongxu took another elevator to the cafe in the leisure area downstairs.

"It's really not easy to see you. Why are you afraid that I will arrest you when you come to the United States?" Seeing Yang Dongxu walking towards him, Jack didn't seem to get up from his seat, even though Yang Dongxu came in front of him and looked up at him.

"Very busy, no time to run around." Yang Dongxu smiled lightly and sat down calmly.

Jack's expression remained the same, he stared at Yang Dongxu and looked him up and down, "It's hard to believe that you have so much wealth at such a young age."

"We've met a few times already, so there's no need to waste time." After speaking, Yang Dongxu turned his head to the waiter and said, "Just give me a glass of water."

"Okay, busy people won't waste your time." The expression on Jack's face remained unchanged, but the next sentence made Yang Dongxu frowned: "I want the shares of Google in your hand, all of them! "
