This shot was quite hard, and the porcelain teeth grinned after the shooting.

Working so hard is because Chu Yuanxi suddenly remembered that it seemed that he had watched a video during the financial crisis in 08, which happened to be this person's lecture.

This video was quite popular in China at that time, because this foreigner who gave a lecture said to the audience on the stage: "Will we pay back the money we borrowed from the Great Celestial Empire?" Imagine that the president said, "All the voters, I am going to raise taxes for you now, and then lower the social security, because we have to pay back the money of the Great Celestial Empire." So instead of putting Madoff in jail, we should make him the Treasury Secretary. ”

Although the words were not rough, the hot-blooded young man of the dynasty must have been very harsh after listening to it, and there was a lot of scolding within the range of the green dam for a while.

But he is neither a high-ranking government official, nor a purely financial forum, so Chu Yuanxi was very curious, so he listened to his full set of speeches, without subtitles, and he was very tired to listen.

But after listening, I found that what this great god said was actually very pertinent, talking about how to solve the current predicament encountered by the United States, first looking back on history, and then comparing it with the present, there are more problems, and the debt owed is only one of the problems.

Why does Chu Yuanxi remember it so deeply? Because Peter Schiff always tells the truth and pokes the lungs of the people of the United States, which is absolutely politically incorrect in the United States.

He actually openly claimed at the forum that the reason why the economy of the United States is in trouble is that the people of the United States are not diligent in their work as a whole, there are many regulations and harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the work treatment of workers is too good, the output of the workload is too poor, and the business owners cannot make money. It would have been nice if the American workers had worked as hard as the Celestial Empire!

Can you say this? Yes, but you can't say it in the United States, and if you say it in the United States, you will be sprayed as a dog directly. Chu Yuanxi, who is such a frank and open-minded Mi countryman, has not seen much anyway! As a result, he sprayed Ao Guanhai every day back then, and Ao Guanhai operated a "Mi Guo Factory" after the end of his term of office, and it is no coincidence that this phenomenon has been brought to the public's field of vision.

It's no wonder that even Yuan knows that Pit Schiff is one of the earliest Internet celebrities in the financial circle.

Elizabeth continued: "He is definitely level, before 2007, we were in a frenzy, there were very few people who poured cold water on the economy, and he was one of the three economists who accurately predicted the economic crisis." And he actually has a very good impression of your country, I can guarantee that. He will not be excluded from changing his place of work, and his parliamentarians will not be elected anyway. ”

Yuan Yuan doesn't care about this, what he cares about is: "Then why is his company not working?" Gu Tou is actually a fund with the attributes of a fund, and Zheng De is a peer, but it is not a venture capital company.

Elizabeth smiled, "Because he's a gold beetle, he lost a lot of money by going long gold before." ”

Chu Yuanxi rubbed his legs and said, "Yes, yes, this person wrote "The Theory of the Collapse of $", but his investment portfolio after abandoning $ is too poor...... Detective, do you know him well?"

"Actually, I don't know him very well, you may not know, he scolds the Democratic Party every day, and I definitely can't get too close to him before. But I tweeted a few words lately, and he's interested in where I'm now. Especially, um, especially I also talked about some dad group things, and Pete was super excited.

In short, this person is very pragmatic, understands both macroeconomics and business, has a keen mind and unique vision, but does not know much about the Internet. So an Internet company from Tianchao invited him to be a consultant, and he was likely to be interested. This is a new challenge. ”

Yuan Yu's next concern was: "Then the question is, how much money can you invite him?"

"Then Chu will have to talk to Pete himself. ”

So it was Chu Yuanxi's turn to have a headache. In fact, the well-off is not so extravagant as to spend millions of dollars of annual salary to ask a consultant to consult on business strategy, and the Pakistani people may also need business strategy services in the future, but what is lacking now is a consultant in terms of content. This aspect is not available to existing consulting companies in the industry, and most of the information provided by ordinary consulting companies is business decisions, and the content belongs to the professional field.

In fact, in the age of content, people with this kind of wisdom and experience are scarce, but even if someone has this kind of wisdom, they may not be able to provide it in the form of consultants.

For example, Yang Jiangang, a person who has been in the industry for more than ten years and has experienced almost all the fluctuations in the game industry in the Celestial Empire after 2000, has accumulated experience that cannot be measured by value. But before this year, you let him be a consultant and the game is over, he only understands games and does not understand business, and forcing the consultant will definitely be the right one.

Now he can definitely understand a little business, but he has become an entrepreneur, and he has put on his coat, and he doesn't know when he will take it off.

The epitome of the whole era is like this, the current technological progress is more than the past 100 years, but with the progress of technology, the Internet is gradually popularizing and sinking, so that the aging of business routines is also the past 100 years. In the information age, all users are bombarded with various business routines every day, and the same routines have been hit more than once, so the consulting of business strategy can always be effective, and it always needs the support of professional domain skills.

Strictly speaking, at the peak of visual effects, Chu Yuanxi is nominally an investor and CFO, but in fact he does the work of a consultant, giving advice to Yang Jiangang, but he doesn't have to do it himself.

Waiting for news from Elizabeth, waiting until October 22nd, three interesting things happened on this day.

After the National Day, Weber ran away in English, Chu Yuanxi thought it was just an ordinary case among the many runaways, the difference is nothing more than that this is a 20-year-old shop, and there are countless students with a wider range of cheats. Unexpectedly, it is precisely because of the long time that it has lasted for a long time, so that when the founder who ran away went to the bank to handle the transfer, the bank clerk who handled the business for him at the counter was also a student of Weber English......

Therefore, running away is also a craft, and unprofessional people can't even run well.

Then, a piece of news that Chu Yuanxi had been paying attention to had a new development, and the founder of WeWork, Adam Norman, finally chose Sun Dasheng's equity rescue plan, and then took hundreds of millions of dollars in severance pay and retired, handing over the giant unicorn to Sun Dasheng completely.

It's not a perfect curtain call, but how many people can afford more flowers and applause than they can afford on this torrent of brave roads?

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yuanxi found that many people around him began to build meow shops, and even Zhu Xiao and Yang Yuanmei were building them, and sent him a link.

This link made Chu Yuanxi hate to knock on Yang Yuanmei's dog's head, "Forget it, why don't you build a meow shop? What is the difference between this and the stacked cats last year? ”

"Cut, you're a big guy, of course you don't build a building. ”

"You're really wrong, I don't cover it because it's a big money, I don't want Ali to collect my big data. ”

Yang Yuanmei was very surprised, "What? What else is there about big data here?"

"Definitely, you are so diligent in building a building, you have to win every day, it must be an extremely price-sensitive player. In the future, those super special advertisements will be pushed to you. ”

"What about you?"

"Well, if I don't stack at all, the price is extremely insensitive, and I will be killed by big data in the future, and the products I push when I travel are expensive. ”

"What should I do then?" Yang Yuanmei said a little panicked.

"You learn from me, don't be active, don't take the initiative, don't refuse. ”

"Isn't this a scumbag?"

Chu Yuanxi laughed for a long time, "You are a real dish, beautiful sheep, Ali has so many apps, these days must be frequent bombing, everywhere out of the meow shop, right?

Yang Yuanmei suddenly put down the phone at a very fast speed. "Hey, why didn't you tell Zhu Wei?"

"Alas...... I can't persuade you......"

It was also on this day that Zhang Dongdong came out with good news, "Out of the Mountain in Troubled Times" was finally finalized after coordinating enough, and the network station simulcast, premiered on November 14, Taishan Satellite TV gave a golden time for the Flower Theater. It could have been a few days earlier, but because I was afraid of colliding with Double 11, I had to go back a few days.

Immediately after that, a wind blew from Yuan Jing's side, and Ali Lingxi moved when he heard the wind, because Zheng De's people said that Chu Yuanxi was not satisfied with the performance of the mini game after it was launched, and it did not meet expectations.

Ten days ago, the "Animal Company" mini-game was first launched, and then the other two also met with players before and after, and then as a mini-game, ten days have been able to "look old at the age of three", and all practitioners in the market can give an evaluation.

Among them, the DAU of "Animal Company" was able to conclude that it would soon exceed 3 million when predicting, and it has steadily surpassed it today. The 3 million DAU mini game can't be said to be particularly explosive in data, it can only be said to be better, but it should be noted that the life cycle should be noted.

The small game "Animal Company" is obviously going for a super long-term operation, and the core gameplay of the ingenious idle game will go bankrupt is very different from the ordinary mini-game. And it's not for nothing that the data is more explosive, but unless it's a coincidence, the life cycle is usually only one month. Those who can break this time spell are masterpieces that can also leave a mark in the history of games.

The data of 3 million DAU also shows that the basic disk of this IP is very stable. The TCG mobile game produced by the same IP is the debut of the Ba people, and the DAU is less than one million today, but as a game that has been in service for a year and three months, DUA is still maintained around 900,000, that is, ninety percent of the peak, and there is no obvious decline in the monthly flow, which is worthy of the words "long-term stability".

"Animal Dinner" is relatively poor, only 1 million DAU, but it also has the value of buying and expanding the size of the plate, because the retention rate is okay, but the difference is the ability to absorb volume, not to mention that this is also used to support the IP of "Animal Company". The promotion cost of "Stupid Bird Flying" exceeds that of "Animal Feast", but the DAU basically stopped when it only reached 300,000, and it was not very good to retain, it can be said to be a failed work, which made Zhao Jie very sad, this is a project he pushes and leads.

Some mini-games are already very satisfied with 300,000 DAUs, but for the Ba people, this is a failure, and it is impossible to support an IP.

Because the data of the three works is basically transparent, based on the reality of online operations, as well as Chu Yuanxi's attitude in the first communication, and rumors from Zheng De, Lao Fan feels that this time should be relatively smooth, and there is no need to wait for the end of the year.

Then when Uncle Chu Yuan Xilasheng came forward to receive him together, he found that he had missed an important thing, that is, once the Ba Ren game transaction was launched, the IP of "Animal Company" would definitely change with Ba Ren Game, and the animated film adaptation rights of "Animal Company" had been taken away by Disney.

When I was calculating the value of the Ba Ren game, my thoughts focused on "Out of the Troubled Times" and the mini game IP plan, and I didn't think about it at all.

As a result, Lingxi showed a very positive attitude and mentioned "Animal Inc." several times. But Chu Yuanxi was confused, and it took a long time for his mind to remember that the PK with the short and big was August 23rd, and Defoe took Disney's business to PK himself on September 10th. In other words, when I first talked to Dwarf and Lao Fan, I didn't have to do it, and when I negotiated with Defoe, I couldn't mention Ali.

Although Ali Pictures has done well in going overseas and invested in several Hollywood movies, the content gene has not yet been shown. Partnering with Disney can obviously have a profound impact on a content company, and even get a precious opportunity to make up for shortcomings, and improve both ability and influence. Of course, it also depends on the ability to operate.

For this reason, Chu Yuanxi knocked his dog head fiercely, muttering to himself: "This can be forgotten! This can be forgotten! Old age is useless......

This time, the short man didn't come, and it was Lao Fan who led the team, with a few smart businessmen, and the head of the group's investment department. Soon, the business of the Ba people and the business of Lingxi have gone to another room to PK and cooperate alone, leaving only Uncle Sheng, Lao Fan and Chu Yuanxi here.

In fact, in this kind of meeting, the work content of the boss level is to chat and drink tea and blow each other, and the specific PK of the needle tip to Mai Mang should have been handed over to the business manager to execute. The big framework must have been communicated, and the business manager can and can only PK the terms of cooperation, and the more important content is not entitled to be drafted.

For example, how much does it cost? This can only be decided by the bosses, but how to pay, how many installments, the payment terms and deadlines for each period, and whether it is a contract or all the conditions of the transaction made up by multiple contracts, etc., these details are the job of the business manager.

So Uncle Sheng was very strange, with Chu Yuanxi's style, shouldn't he talk about the price? However, he seemed very hesitant. Don't talk about Uncle Sheng, even Lao Fan saw it, and asked very easily: "Xiao Chu, what's wrong with you?

"Uh...... To tell you the truth, Mr. Fan, this matter is still a bit complicated. Chu Yuanxi thought for a while and felt that it was better to simply explain his attitude, "Disney took the copyright of "Animal Company", in my understanding, it is hoped that a small and medium-sized company like the Ba Ren Group will promote them at some point in the future and exert a large level of energy. But if the copyright goes to you, and you're too big, do you understand my concern?"

Uncle Sheng said I don't understand, isn't it good to be big? Disney can't die beautifully?

But he saw Lao Fan nodded, but he was still relatively relaxed, "Actually, it's not like we haven't cooperated, "Mission Impossible", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Star Trek", "Green Book", we have all invested, I don't think it's a big problem." ”

"But what about the full copyrights? It's different from the nature of the investment, and it's a Disney-level cooperation. I think now that I'm going to do my duty as a collaborator, I have to ask you if you really want the rights to Animal Inc. ”

"Yes, of course. "Lao Fan Xin said that this is not clear? There is also a cooperation between Dawen Entertainment and Hollywood that holds all copyrights, that is, the "Ugly Doll" project, the question is, one is a project from scratch, the other is a project that already has a certain basic plate and popularity, one is a cooperation with Hollywood Pheasant Company, and the other is a cooperation with Disney, can it be the same?

Just investing and then sharing the box office is nothing more than a matter of making money and losing money, even if you make some money, what is the point for Ali? It has exercised its domestic distribution ability? With Tao Piao tickets in hand, there is no need at all. But controlling full copyright, just licensing animated films, that's definitely not the same.

"So......" Lao Fan glanced at Chu Yuanxi, and then noticed that Uncle Sheng behind Chu Yuanxi looked dazed, and said in his heart, What is the state of these two?"

Uncle Sheng said that you have been playing dumb riddles for a long time, and I understand this sentence!

But unexpectedly, Chu Yuanxi waved his hand again and again, "No, no." When you gave the preliminary price before, I thought that the IP and TCG mobile game of "Animal Inc" were already included, and this IP was already very good, and it was an important part of the 30 billion valuation.

As for whether the new partnership with Disney will generate new value? Definitely, but how much of it is commercial value that can be turned into profit? How much of it is an improvement in the company's capabilities and vision, it is difficult to define, and it is not necessary. What can be quantified is nothing more than that once the movie achieves good results, the IP can be decentralized and licensed, and the licensing fee and the profit of the peripheral products can be collected.

That's just a little more money, and it's just one or two small goals. It wouldn't be that the reason if I were asking for a higher price. ”

After saying this, without giving Lao Fan time to taste carefully, he directly took out his mobile phone and dialed the transoceanic phone. While dialing, he said: "Disney, I have to fulfill my obligations as a collaborator." So, if you say you don't want Animal Inc., that's fine, I'll stay, Disney will do the same. If you say yes, I'll have to ask them. Although I guess they are not against it either. If we push the acquisition of Baren Games to the substantive stage, then you have to contact Disney to talk about it specifically. ”
