Chapter 372: Fifty Million Spending
The agent Lao Wu explained to Andy while watching: "This Yu Wenfei is a very famous young writer in the mainland, and he is only a freshman this year, but he has a lot of fans! By the way, he has also sung two songs, and he has a high degree of popularity." You see, he now has more than 11 million fans!"
"Wow, is this true? more than 10 million?" Andy exclaimed.
"It's true, because Yu Wenfei is still the big boss of Facebook, and it is the website he invested in creating. His personal Facebook is also the most popular, every time he posts a photo or something, he retweets and comments more than one million, which is extremely influential. ”
"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and the future is terrifying!" Andy exclaimed again and again.
These data are beyond his imagination.
With tens of millions of fans and more than one million retweets and comments, such a number is really shocking in front of you.
Seriously, Andy knows that he has a lot of fans, but he doesn't know how many there are.
Because it has never been counted, and it can't be counted.
Many fans may like Andy's songs and movies, but they have never bought his albums or watched his movies in the cinema......
Such fans, how can you count them.
It seems that Facebook's model is very good, and you can see how many fans you have, and everything can be digitized and put in front of you simply and straightforwardly.
Andy was a little moved.
"Oh, if we enter Facebook, the other party will also give a signing fee, one million, and the contract is tentatively set for one year. Agent Lao Wu added.
In fact, this can be regarded as a disguised remuneration, one million a year, which is really not much for a star like Andy.
He took one advertising endorsement after another, and at least one million people started.
If it's a big brand advertisement, a spokesperson or something, it's basically up to five million.
However, one million is not a little, after all, it doesn't require much time and effort from him, just leave it to the agent to take care of.
"Okay, you reply to the other party and say I don't have a problem. Andy said briskly.
In the past two days, not only Andy has received an invitation from Facebook, but all the more famous artists, actors, and singers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have all received invitations.
For a super first-line star like Andy, Facebook's signing fee is one million a year, but the number of such stars is not many, and all of them are only about ten. Facebook spends $10 million a year on this.
Almost, the signing fee is 600,000 yuan per year, and there are more than 30 such people, which is 20 million per year.
As for the second-tier stars, the cost is even lower, ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 per year, with more than 60 people and an annual expenditure of about 20 million.
Third-tier stars?
I'm sorry, I'll just send a letter to invite you, and I won't pay anything!
Facebook's star strategy is expected to cost about 50 million a year, which is also a huge expense.
Within the company, it is not without objections, just like the marketing department, it is privately discussed that it is better to use the money for advertising and promotion, what is the use of inviting these stars.
But this is a strategy set by Yu Wenfei, and no one dares to oppose it.
In fact, Facebook's current organizational structure is not perfect, and the real company executives, except for Yu Wenfei, the CEO, CTO, CFO, etc., have not yet been selected.
Even middle-level managers like Lu Qi are already at a relatively high level in the current Star Technology.
This also leads to the fact that within the company, it is Yuwenfei's Yiyantang, and others are not qualified to raise objections.
Yu Wenfei is not in a hurry to improve the organizational structure of Star Technology, because this is still a start-up company, and it is enough to have a leader with clear ideas and vision, and a technical team with combat effectiveness.
With the rapid development of Facebook and Star Technology, real high-end talents will be slowly attracted. In the early days of the company's establishment, to be honest, it was impossible to attract those top talents to join, and the general talent Yu Wenfei couldn't look down on it, so he simply left those positions empty first and took his time.
On the whole, Facebook's star strategy is progressing relatively smoothly, and most of the artists and singers who have received invitations have agreed to settle in.
As for some of the more old-fashioned artists, or artists who want to ask for a sky-high price, then they are not reluctant, let them play while they are good, sooner or later they will regret it.
Although it has negotiated with many artists and stars, Facebook is not in a hurry to let these people enter the website, but is waiting for an opportunity......
............
"The progress of the project is too slow! It's the end of December, and a month has passed, so why hasn't your project team made the website yet? I don't care what method you use, it must be launched on January 1st! You still have five days. ”
In Sina, Mr. Lin was furious, and in front of him was the person in charge of the Sina Weibo project team.
"Mr. Lin, the project team is too little manpower, everyone often works overtime in this section, and the progress can't catch up, or you can call us some more programmers." ”
The person in charge of the Weibo project team said with a bitter face.
If it's just a normal Weibo, it's still simple, but Sina Weibo is to do it according to Facebook, and the functions are much more than normal Weibo.
And some of the features seem simple, but when you actually do it, and you have to take into account that the users may reach the level of millions, it is not simple.
Therefore, the progress of the Sina Weibo project team is a bit slow, and it was originally planned to be done in half a month, but now it has been almost a month, and there is no version that can be launched.
Mr. Lin thought about it for a while, the project team really didn't have many people, and only allocated ten programmers to go over, which seemed to be a simple idea.
"Okay, I can meet your request, and then transfer ten people from other departments to you, but I ask that before January 1st, a relatively mature and stable version must be produced. ”
Slow work can produce fine work, and Mr. Lin also understands this truth, but he doesn't have so much time.
Facebook just announced a few days ago that the number of registered users has exceeded 20 million!
In the Internet field, once a company in a certain type of subdivided industry forms a scale, it will be very difficult for later competitors to catch up with it.
At the magnitude of 20 million, Mr. Lin was already beating a drum in his heart.
If you don't launch your own Weibo, when Facebook breaks 30 million or 40 million, you will basically have nothing to play.
Even if you compete hard, it is estimated that you will have to pay a painful price!
Therefore, he must race against time to launch Sina Weibo as soon as possible, and compete with Facebook for users when the users of Facebook have not stabilized and formed a habit!
