Chapter 294: Liu's Media
Ali's core is e-commerce + payment, which is a well-known thing.
Not to mention e-commerce, although there are competitors, Ali's e-commerce alliance leader sits very firmly, and no e-commerce company should be able to surpass Ali in ten years.
Originally, the same is true in the field of payment, Alipay is also a monopoly, as Mr. Ma said, you can't find an opponent with a telescope.
But since the birth of WeChat, especially the launch of WeChat Pay with lightning speed, and then joined hands with the Spring Festival Gala, it has equaled Alipay's efforts for seven or eight years in one fell swoop.
Since then, Mr. Ma has regarded WeChat as the enemy of Alipay.
Although Ali's old rival Tencent also entered the market, made a similar letter, and also set foot in the payment field, to be honest, Mr. Ma was even more afraid of the letter.
After all, the original is the original, and following the trend is following the trend, especially the original WeChat is constantly innovating, from the WeChat red envelope that became famous in one fell swoop, to the change through financial management, and then the WeChat collection of five blessings, the taxi software money burning war, the shared bicycle war and so on.
WeChat has been leading the war, provoking one battle after another.
And what makes Mr. Ma most uncomfortable is that WeChat Pay has always pressed Alipay's market share by about % of the mobile payment share, and Alipay probably occupies about 38% of the market share.
Although there is only a gap of less than 10% between the two, it is a fact that it has been pressed by WeChat Pay.
You must know that Mr. Ma is the pioneer of third-party payment in China, and he has been deeply involved in this field for seven or eight years, but it took less than two years for WeChat, a latecomer, to press Alipay, where Mr. Ma had high hopes, to rub it on the ground.
Therefore, Mr. Ma really hates WeChat.
Now, after getting the news of the merger, Mr. Ma is really jealous to the extreme.
Although Mr. Ma does not take Q Credit Payment seriously, because Q Credit Pay only occupies about 12% of the market share, there is a very big gap with Alipay and WeChat Pay.
But once Q Xin merges with WeChat, the payment share of the two will directly rise to about 58%, compared with Alipay's 38%, the advantage is really too big.
This is only the data after the merger, and the merger of the letter is not only the skyrocketing data, but the resources of the two sides are combined, and the combat effectiveness will be stronger.
For example, the taxi software war, which was originally withdrawn from the competition by Qiandu, is now a pattern of the Three Kingdoms competing for hegemony.
After the credible merger, although Didi Taxi and Da Huang Feng Taxi are still fighting separately, the relationship between the two parties has also changed greatly because of the change in the relationship between the two parties.
The same is true of similar competition, which used to be a three-way hegemony, and now it is also facing a pattern of two fights and one fight.
It is no exaggeration to say that the merger of this letter has brought earth-shaking changes to the current mobile Internet era.
As a result, Mr. Ma, who was worried, secretly held a high-level meeting to discuss the huge impact that the merger of the letter would have on Alipay, how Alipay should deal with the next situation, and so on.
......
It's a personal hobby, just like Mr. Ma in his previous life, after becoming famous, he began to spend money to make movies, hold concerts, and have a good time!
In his previous life, Liu Shita Hui, although obsessed, but in addition to enjoying the fun of a few years carefree during his studies, he has been running for a livelihood for more than ten years after he walked out of society, especially after he started to write by himself, he didn't have much time to go.
For legendary series such as 、、、、、, which introduced himself into the world, and the once crazy obsession, one of the dreams of Yanagi Teru's previous life was to bring these classic works to the screen.
I believe this is also one of the dreams of every legendary book lover.
It's a pity that although in Guangdong Province in the 90s, Wu Lao and Jin Lao can almost be equated, and even known as the "Jin Yong of the mainland", forming a jaw-dropping "Wu Ji phenomenon", but none of Wu Lao's works can be put on the screen, which makes legendary book fans regret.
Originally, in 2016 in his previous life, he ushered in the dawn of hope, and Wu Lao officially authorized Filmmaker Street to adapt it into a martial arts web series.
It's a pity that because of the lack of funds, the martial arts online drama has been stranded indefinitely, and I don't know if it will be the year of the monkey before I have the opportunity to see it on the screen.
Now, the dreams that can be realized with money, Liu Shita Hui has almost realized them.
So, Yanagi plans to spend money to realize this dream that has been hidden in his heart for more than 30 years, and is ready to move the legendary series to the screen, giving the fans who were crazy about the legendary series a memory kill, and it is not in vain that he is reborn.
Do what you want, on the cusp of the letter merger, Liu Shita Hui went directly to Guangdong Province to visit the idol Wu Lao in his previous life.
At this time, Wu Lao was already eighty or ninety years old, but the old man's spirit was acceptable, and he spoke clearly, and he was worthy of being a legendary figure who began to write at the age of fifty or sixty.
Liu Shita Hui really admires this old man, although his legendary series has been accused of being the same, and there are plagiarism and borrowing from Jin Lao's works, but in the eighties and nineties can form a "halberd phenomenon", which naturally has its own uniqueness.
After all, the reader's eyes are bright, and if the writing is not good, then there will not be so many readers who are sought after.
You must know that at that time, those pirated booksellers, as long as they gave a XX legendary book title, and then printed the author's name of Wu Ji, they could definitely sell well, and the Wu Lao of that era was almost a god.
Wu Lao is also very happy after knowing Liu Xiahui's intention, any writer hopes that his works can be put on the screen, even if he is an old man.
Especially after knowing that Liu Xia Hui was the big boss of the Liu Group and his real book fan, Wu Lao Na did not take a penny, so he happily gave Liu Xia Hui the film and television copyrights of all the works under his name for free.
In this regard, Liu Xiahui was really moved, and secretly decided in his heart that he must put all his major works on the screen during the lifetime of Wu Lao, so that the old man can smile in Jiuquan a hundred years later.
According to the time of the old man's death in the previous life, the remaining time is less than five years.
In less than five years, it is still very difficult to put seven or eight major works on the screen, and ordinary film and television companies don't even dare to think about it.
Still, as long as you have money, none of this is a problem!
After signing the contract, Liu Xiahui had a meal with the old man and took a group photo.
Then, he hurriedly returned to Gui Province.
Liu Xiahui's first step back to Gui Province was to establish Liu's Media.
In addition to filming legendary series to realize his dreams, the classic networks he wrote in this life also have to be made into TV series one by one, so it must be inconvenient without a film and television company specializing in production.
The second step is to openly recruit producers, production directors, directors, producers, planners, screenwriters, art directors, producers, co-ordinators, field affairs, camera crews, videographers, lighting engineers, artists, costume engineers, costume engineers, props masters, recording crews, scene recording crews, recording engineers, lyrics, composition, singing, drama affairs, etc.
The first step is the easiest, setting up a media company, which is very simple and just a matter of one sentence.
The second step is not high, then you can recruit people in minutes, but if there are strict recruitment requirements, it is not so easy to recruit satisfactory candidates in a short time.
Throughout December, Yanagi was busy with this.
It wasn't until January 2014 that most of the talents needed by Liu's Media were recruited, leaving only the most important director.
Liu Xiahui picked and chose from many well-known directors, and finally selected two directors who met the requirements, one is Director Li Da, who has served Heung Kong Wireless for more than 40 years and has about 60 works.
One is director Lai Da, who has many classic works.
Let's talk about Director Li Da first, he is the designated producer of Jin Yong's drama, and the classic martial arts dramas he directed include the 95-year-old Principal Gu version, the 96-year-old Lu Zhangmen version, the 97-year-old Huang Yuehua version, and the 98-year-old most classic Gu Confused Boy Xiaochun Ge version.
These versions are all classics among the classics, and they can be called unsurpassable.
Although Director Lai Da's classic works are not as many as Director Li Da, it is enough for him to have the 2003 version of this classic work.
The original 93 version was also his work, but this version let Xu Daguan play the beautiful Zhao Min, and almost didn't let people scold the.
Ten years later, director Lai Da, who had learned his lesson, remade it again.
The casting of this version is really awesome, all the handsome men and beauties, and the role of Zhao Min also makes Jia Da Beauty play it well, and Zhou Zhiruo played by the tall beauty is also talked about.
In short, this version has caused a huge sensation, and it is on par with these highest-rated TV series, which can be described as a mess!
If these two great directors can be invited to shoot the legendary series, the effect will definitely be a bargain.
So, through the relationship, Liu Shita Hui began to contact these two great directors, and then personally went over to invite.
In fact, whether it is Director Li Da or Director Lai Da, they are already successful at this time, and if other film and television companies invite them, they should be too lazy to pay attention to it.
But Liu Xiahui, the richest man in China, personally stepped forward, gave enough respect and treatment, and even asked the owner to come forward to persuade them, and they had no way to refuse.
Therefore, before the arrival of the Spring Festival, the two big directors took care of the things in their hands one after another and went to report to Liu's Media Company in Gui Province.
At this time, Xin finally completed the data merger, excluding overlapping users, and the total number of registered users also exceeded the one billion mark, becoming a well-deserved hegemon in the field of mobile social networking.
In the previous life, the development trajectory of WeChat, at this point in time, is only more than 600 million registered users.
The reason why there is a gap of nearly 300 million users is mainly that WeChat in this life was launched earlier than in the previous life, and the most important thing is that WeChat in the previous life had no opponents, so it can develop slowly.
And the opponent of the letter in this life, the two sides developed and grew in the competition, and then merged together, which has far surpassed the results of the previous life.
When Tencent released this data, although Tencent only accounted for % of the shares, its stock price still rose in response, making Tencent investors laugh so much that their eyes were almost slit.
That is, Liu's Group does not mean to be listed, otherwise it will make a lot of money just with this wave.
After the merger, the two sides promoted the merger of Didi and Da Huangfeng.
Although Didi and Da Huang Feng are a little reluctant, the financiers behind them have merged, and with the cruel competition of today's taxi-hailing software, once there is no investment from the financiers, it will collapse in less than a month.
So, whether you want it or not, the merger of the two has become a foregone conclusion.
......
This year's Spring Festival, WeChat continues to launch the Wufu activity, the gameplay is similar to last year, but a little adjustment has been made, such as last year to invite new users to register to have the opportunity to get friendly blessings, this year there is no need to invite, friendly blessings to obtain the same conditions as dedication blessings, are to use WeChat payment offline to have a chance to get.
For example, if you use Didi taxi, shared bicycles, etc., as long as you can pay with WeChat.
And this super stage of this year's Spring Festival Gala was won by Alipay.
Similarly, following the letter to learn, Support Bao also launched a New Year's red envelope.
Last year, Q Xin followed the trend of WeChat to launch the New Year's red envelope, the effect is still very good, in a few hours, the number of tens of millions of registered users skyrocketed.
Now Alipay is facing the merged WeChat, it is really Alexander, and it can only hope for the big stage of the Spring Festival Gala to see if it can also increase tens of millions of registered users.
Even if it only rises by 30 or 20 million registered users, the money spent will be worth it.
As a result, when the Spring Festival is approaching, hundreds of millions of WeChat users are working hard to collect five blessings, and driven by WeChat payment, the turnover of Laoliu Catering, Haidilao, and Zhou Heiya has begun to rise sharply, and the turnover of other businesses that can be covered by WeChat payment has risen to varying degrees.
The year-end carnival of the WeChat department has kicked off again!
