The next morning, Wang gradually arrived in the office of Flushing, which he had not seen for a long time.

On the one hand, it's because the website has a lot of clutter that needs to be dealt with.

Of course, the more important thing is to find a substitute for the dead.

"With a few women, and a high-status fashion tycoon who can't act, life on the set is terrible!" he sighed as he sipped his coffee.

"Wang, here's the most recent data from the website. Tom took a document and handed it over.

Wang gradually took a look at it, nodded, and put it aside.

The proportion of users and payments on the website has increased to a certain extent.

This should be the reason why the price of computers has fallen and the number of households in the United States has risen.

Since the main business, there is no problem.

So...

"Tom," Wang gradually tried to squeeze out a kind smile, "Interested in going to the set?"

"In this TV series, there are a lot of Victoria's Secret supermodel cameos!"

"Oh?" said Tom, looking surprised, then immediately returning to seriousness, "not interested!"

"The staff of the website have come back to complain, and two or three shots are taken for a day, which is a normal thing in this TV series. ”

fuck！

Wang gradually made a straight face, "The subscription to King Arthur has increased significantly, and I need to find time to create. ”

"As an executive of the website, you have an obligation to cooperate with me. ”

"Hehe," Tom said, opening the folder to reveal the thick layer of paper inside, "the number of authors on the site has proliferated, and I need to talk about all these copyrights." ”

Looking at the stacks of documents and the legal issues that might be involved, Wang gradually could only wave his hand helplessly.

There is no way, he is not at ease with handing over this job to someone other than Tom.

But according to the principle of equal status, the only people who can replace themselves are Jack Dorsey and Chen Shijun who are far away in Silicon Valley. ”

"Both of these are technicians, so they should be more reluctant to go to the set. ”

At this moment, Chen Shijun pushed open the door of the office and walked in.

"There are some things that need to be discussed with you, King. ”

"Is there something wrong with the website in terms of technology?" Wang gradually looked at the other party, feeling panicked.

"No..."Chen Shijun hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "I hope that the website can acquire Future Wave." ”

Or, to get a technical license for the development of the player. ”

Player?

Does that have anything to do with the website?

Wang gradually raised his head and looked at the other party a little puzzled.

"Unlike the others, this player works directly on HTML5. ”

"In other words, it doesn't need to be completely independent like other players. ”

"I think," Chen Shijun muttered, expressing the reason for his hard work, "We can set up a video-sharing website to increase the publicity channels for the adaptation of our works into film and television dramas." ”

"Based on what I've observed on a Hollywood set, there's a lot of NG shots in every film. ”

"The TVB network can broadcast through its own channels in order to attract audiences. ”

"But HBO charges and can't take advantage of that. ”

"I mean, build a video-sharing site where users can watch these footage for free. ”

"This is an important addition to our work with HBO. ”

"Wang," he snickered at Wang, "in the long run, it should be profitable." ”

You're a programmer who knows how to share a fart video!

The king pursed his lips and held back without speaking.

Of course, he is reluctant to get into this for reasons and does not want to clash with the tech giant Microsoft.

Recently, Microsoft released its own player, WMA.

Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that this software giant wants to use its advantages in the system to achieve a perfect closed loop.

What does the last Netscape that competed with Microsoft look like now?

Wang gradually was about to refuse, when suddenly something came to mind.

"You used to go to Hollywood a lot and watch some of the films being made?"

"Yes. Chen Shijun nodded, feeling a little inexplicable.

"So, do you know anything about the work of a producer?"

"Should... There are still some. ”

It doesn't matter, there will be HBO staff to cooperate with him!

"Versace, who can't act, Vera and Giselle, who are constantly making all kinds of small moves, can finally say goodbye for the time being!"

Wang gradually thought as he looked Chen Shijun up and down.

This Asian programmer felt a little chilled.

"Mr. Wang, I may have thought it out a little..."

"No, no, no. Wang gradually waved his hand and asked the other party to sit down again.

"How can you use the least amount of effort to get the other party to take over this errand?" his mind was spinning wildly.

To be honest, in today's Internet boom in the United States, top programmers like Chen Shijun are paid very well.

High salary and equity incentives are considered basic treatment.

But the other party does not have shares in the website, and Wang gradually does not want to destroy the relatively stable equity structure.

So in a sense, it is not very appropriate for him to use the authority of the chairman to oppress the other party.

"Originally, video sharing and the main business of the website are not closely related. Wang gradually waved his hand and interrupted Chen Shijun, who was about to defend himself.

"However, it was you who made the suggestion. ”

"So, I'm ready to give it a try. ”

Chen Shijun was taken aback by Wang Gradually, and he felt like he was riding a roller coaster.

"How much money is needed to obtain a technology license, and how much does it take to acquire that company?" Wang gradually asked.

"The technology license is about $7 million," Chen Shijun thought for a moment, "and if it is acquired, it may be at a premium of about $13 million depending on the current market situation." ”

"You know, a website is first and foremost a business, and you need to think about profitability. Wang gradually opened the drawer and found the revenue data of the first two parts of "Prison Break".

"So, there should be a stop loss for any business activity. ”

"You see," he handed the document to Chen Shijun, "this is the income of the first two parts, which is far higher than the amount of money you need." ”

"And if you really build the website you said, then you must be responsible for running it. ”

"Then, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the film and television industry, and the website also needs to test your ability in this area. ”

Chen Shijun thought for a while, nodded, and felt that it made sense.

"So," Wang gradually smiled, "I'll give you a chance." ”

"You go to be in charge of the production of "Prison Break: Transformation", whether you plan for the next step, and also look at the revenue of this TV series. ”

"If it can reach a profit of 7 million, it will go and get the technology license. ”

"If it can reach a profit of 1300, then bring up the acquisition. ”

And in this new video site, you'll be looking at Dorsey's stake in Twitter. ”

"Of course. Wang gradually thought for a while, and felt that the conditions were too generous, which was easy to arouse the suspicion of the other party, "In exchange, you need to sign a non-compete agreement." ”

"After that, you are not allowed to enter the Internet industry unless you have worked on the website for five years. ”

This...

Chen Shijun looked down at the earnings reports of the first two parts of "Prison Break", and then looked up at Wang Yan.

In his heart, a familiar Hokkien song sounded instantly, "Love to fight to win!"

"Okay!

"Huh. Wang gradually looked at the other party's signature and smiled secretly in his heart.

"Just that broken TV series, a profit of $7 million?"

"Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft, I don't want to learn Netscape and break the perfect closed loop of your system. ”

It's just that when he shook his head, he suddenly felt dizzy, and a new book appeared.

Wang gradually felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked Chen Shijun to go outside to explain the work matters, while he closed his eyes and looked into his head.

"Marketing?"

what the fuck！

How stupid I was in my previous life!

Actually, I still believe in this kind of thing!

He tossed patiently, flipped a little, and then pouted.

Sure enough, the person who wrote "Successology" was never a successful person. ”

"The one who writes "Marketing" will not be a marketing master. ”

In this broken book, there are basically all kinds of bad marketing methods.

The only novelty is that Hollywood seems to have quickly released a movie theme song based on the death of an actor named Paul Walker, which led to the success of a certain movie.

"The lyrics of 'See You Again' are good!"

But it's really useless to me.

The lyricist's share in popular songs is not high, and if you have the energy to ask famous people to compose music, it is better to have more code words.

"There's no way I'm going to hack Dan Brown or Neil Gaiman to death for marketing my website, right?"
