Dong Xiaoxue has officially resigned from the Commercial Printing House and joined Facebook as a senior vice president, fully responsible for Facebook video and Facebook music projects.

After the merger of Facebook Video and Facebook Music into Facebook, a separate business unit was also established, called "Facebook Entertainment"!

Dong Xiaoxue is the person in charge of Facebook Entertainment.

She can also be regarded as an "airborne soldier", she took up a senior position when she first arrived, but Dong Xiaoxue has this qualification, she is originally a person who has served as deputy editor-in-chief in a large state-owned enterprise, and she has experience, ability and connections.

Therefore, this appointment did not cause any doubts in the company, and Cai Congxin also warmly welcomed Dong Xiaoxue's arrival.

In the afternoon, I came to report to Yu Wenfei, this is also the first time that Dong Xiaoxue has officially reported to the boss, about the copyright acquisition and future development route of Facebook video and music, Dong Xiaoxue has discussed with Cai Congxin several times, and now that the plan is mature, Cai Congxin suggested that she come over and make a comprehensive report to Yu Wenfei.

It is said that this kind of thing, she and Cai Congxin can make a decision directly, and there is no need to report to Yu Wenfei again, but Cai Congxin and she are both human spirits.

They all understand a truth, that is, the boss may say, "It's good that you decide, you don't need to tell me", "This is your responsibility, just figure it out yourself, I just look at the results and don't ask about the process", "I'm relieved to leave things to you, do it boldly" and so on......

But if you really take it seriously, make your own decisions about everything, and don't tell your boss at all, then your road will really be narrow!

The boss may really trust you and believe that you can do this well, but after all, he is the boss, and you spend all his money, so when you really have any major decisions, you must communicate with the boss in advance. It is possible that the boss will act indifferent, or even impatient, and think that you have too many things, but this is all an illusion!

If you really don't report and make your own decision, that's stupid.

Of course, Yu Wenfei is not the kind of cautious boss, and he is indeed willing to delegate power to his subordinates, such as Cai Congxin, such as Effie, these are all subordinates he trusts.

But Cai Congxin and Dong Xiaoxue would rather do more than take risks.

............

Under the leadership of the blonde and blue-eyed Pei'er, through the secretariat and into Yu Wenfei's big office, Dong Xiaoxue was full of emotion in her heart.

More than three years ago, when she and Yu Wenfei met for the first time, they were still a young boy. Dressed in sportswear, I live in a cheap business express hotel, and when I entertain myself, I still go to the small shop below to buy all kinds of cold drinks.

Now, look at the pomp!

There are six secretaries alone, and there are foreign girls among them!

"Mr. Fei, Mr. Dong has arrived. Pell reminded softly.

Yu Wenfei was staring at the computer screen, not knowing what to look at, after hearing Pei'er's words, he raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he got up and welcomed: "Haha, Mr. Dong, let's get used to it here." ”

On this occasion, of course Dong Xiaoxue will not shout "Xiaofei" again, and she also has a smile on her face, "Thank you Fei for your concern, I am very used to it, my colleagues on Facebook are very good to me, and Mr. Cai also takes care of me." ”

Yu Wenfei stretched out his hand and motioned for her to sit down on the sofa in the reception area, without his instructions, Pei'er had already brought two cups of fragrant coffee.

"Mr. Fei, I'm here to report to you on the film and television music copyright acquisition plan, as well as the time when Facebook Video and Facebook Music will be launched. Dong Xiaoxue opened the folder in her hand and said seriously.

Yu Wenfei held the coffee cup and nodded slightly.

"Facebook currently has long been in contact with major music companies because of the celebrity residency plan, so it is relatively easy to acquire song copyrights.

There are currently five major ...... in the world No, it should be said that it is the Big Four, because Sony has just acquired BMG. That is, there are also Sony, Warner, Universal and EMI, the big four record companies. These companies basically monopolize all the singer resources in the world, including Chinese singers!" Dong Xiaoxue said eloquently.

Although Yu Wenfei has heard of these things a little, he is not too clear, after all, he has not been deeply involved in the entertainment industry, even in his dreams, at most, he has only been in contact with some female stars.

Dong Xiaoxue continued: "So it is relatively easy to acquire the music rights of songs, as long as you get these four major record companies, all the popular songs and classic songs on the market can be wiped out!

"Oh, is 100 million dollars enough? Although there are few record companies, it is because of the lack that they have formed a relative monopoly, and I am afraid that their appetite is too big. Yu Wenfei reminded.

Dong Xiaoxue smiled slightly, took a sip of the coffee cup unhurriedly, and replied, "Mr. Fei, you haven't cared about the record industry, have you?"

That's right, why does Yu Wenfei care about that, although he usually listens to music, he generally prefers to listen to old songs, and rarely pays attention to the current pop stars.

"The current record industry, without exaggeration, is about to die! The situation is even more severe than that of the publishing industry!" Dong Xiaoxue said dryly.

Yu Wenfei was a little surprised, although he also knew that record tapes and other things must be getting worse and harder to sell, and the impact of the Internet was too great, but were they so serious that the entire industry was going to die?

"Nowadays, singers basically pay for one record when they send a record! There are free song resources everywhere on the Internet, who would buy a record tape? An MP3 is only how much, and the cheaper one may only cost two or three hundred, but you can download all the songs you want to listen to from the Internet! And how much is a CD? How much is a box of genuine tapes? Not to mention that listening to CDs also requires audio and the like. Therefore, the current record company can barely maintain its operation by relying on its stars to hold concerts.

Our plan is this, Chinese songs, of course, all of them are bought. Of course, we only buy online copyrights, and do not affect their offline copyrights, and those record companies don't have a penny for online copyrights!

As for foreign language songs, we only want the most popular and classic songs, and we don't want those that are niche and not well-known. In this way, it is estimated that it will not cost much. Of course, the specific price still needs to be discussed. When it comes to the total budget, it's only $100 million. Dong Xiaoxue sighed.

Yes, although he has a huge amount of money, he can also make careful calculations, Dong Xiaoxue is still reassuring to do things, Yu Wenfei nodded in approval.

After getting Yu Wenfei's affirmation, Dong Xiaoxue was full of confidence and began to continue to explain her plan.

Moreover, in addition to the copyrights of classic film and television works, we must also be prepared to purchase new film and television works every year. So, this part is more troublesome. At present, we plan to invest a budget of 200 million US dollars to purchase high-quality works, and as for those shoddy film and television dramas, there is no need to buy them. The money saved will be used to purchase new works in the future. Dong Xiaoxue frowned and said.

Obviously, in terms of film and television dramas, she is not too sure.

The song industry is no longer good, but TV series and movies are still thriving.

The box office of movies is getting higher and higher, and TV series are supported by so many TV stations, and good TV series are not cheap!

Therefore, Dong Xiaoxue can only purchase high-quality products as much as possible, not the pursuit of quantity, and also take into account the cost of buying new TV series and movies in the future.

"Don't think too far for the time being, try to buy as many copyrights as possible in the early stage, and as for the future procurement costs, after Facebook is listed, it will add a large amount of budget to your department. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

Of course he knows that although at this stage, the copyright fee of film and television dramas is much higher than that of songs, but that is only relative.

In the absence of competitors, even if film and television dramas are expensive, they are not expensive.

It can be said that now he dares to buy it at any time if he asks the film and television drama company to shout the price, because if he buys it, he earns it!

If you really wait for a bunch of competitors to appear in two years, the price of film and television dramas will rise, and it will not be the current price!

Speaking of money, in Yu Wenfei's heart, money is really not a problem.

Even if Facebook no longer raises funds, it will be listed at the end of the year or early next year at the latest, and it can still make a lot of money when it goes public.

What is this money used for, Facebook itself does not need too much money, it is mainly invested in Facebook videos and Facebook music, especially Facebook videos!

Video is definitely an important part of Facebook's pan-entertainment ecosystem, and it will also be the most "gold-swallowing" department.

Moreover, this department in Yuwenfei's vision, is not just a video website, with the development of the Internet, this department will also evolve, such as short video, such as live broadcast, these are all video-related industries!

It's just that the conditions are not yet ripe, and there is no need to launch it for the time being.

In time, there may also be subsidiaries such as "Facebook Short Video" and "Facebook Live" under Facebook Video, and there will even be film companies that self-cast and self-broadcast TV series and movies!

In another ten years, Facebook Entertainment will be half of the domestic entertainment industry!

Yu Wenfei's goals, as well as his expectations for Facebook Entertainment, are the same.

............

Dong Xiaoxue left happily, with the support of the big boss, she was full of confidence, firmly believing that under her control, Facebook Entertainment would inevitably develop into a behemoth that was enough to influence the domestic entertainment industry.

In the office, Yuwen flew up and moved his body, and instructed Hu Jingjing: "Please come over, Mr. Cai." ”

His conversation with Dong Xiaoxue was a bit overtimed, Cai Congxin had already come once just now, but he asked Hu Jingjing at the door, and after learning that Yu Wenfei was talking to Dong Xiaoxue, he went back again.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the lush trees in the park and the rippling blue lake, Yu Wenfei began to think about the upcoming meeting of the board of directors of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank.

This time, the board of directors will decide several more important things, and it is time for the WeChat project, which has been hidden for a long time, to be launched to the market.
