"He's very interested in the universe you proposed, but suggests that we find a good screenwriter to connect the story and the characters.

He doesn't have that ability, and being Nezha's screenwriter is also forced to do it because of the tight production budget. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yida smiled, after he intervened halfway, Nezha's crew should have sufficient production funds.

But Zhang Yida still let Dumpling continue to serve as the screenwriter, and rashly changing the screenwriter may be better than the original work, and it may also cause a street hit. He didn't dare to take the risk.

"Did they agree to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with you?"

Zhao Erya nodded, "Of course I agreed, our agreement is for them to provide art resources to ensure the unity of the painting style of each work." ”

"By the way, I heard that your game team is also looking for them? Let them come up with character prototypes, to make a MOBA game that is a god. ”

Zhang Yida smiled, "We call it film and game linkage, the film is popular, and the game can gain popularity." ”

Zhao Erya nodded, she had also heard relevant theories.

"You, can this film be popular?"

Zhang Yida was a little speechless, "Didn't you just make a movie a big hit?"

Zhao Erya's face flushed, she was just a polite remark just now, but in fact, she didn't know if it would be popular.

However, there is still a basic level of appreciation, at least the art resources are good.

I just don't know this kind of slightly secondary two "My life is up to me" storyline, and the audience won't buy it.

Zhang Yida said with a smile: "I think there is a high probability that it will be popular, nothing can be 100% certain." ”

"Then I'm much more relieved that you're like this. ”

Zhao Erya really has high hopes for the Fengshen Universe project, she has calculated it, and when Nezha is about to be released, the global coverage of hundreds of millions of Rao account matrix, all of which will help publicize.

"I'm going to India. ”

Zhao Erya paused for a moment, "It's almost the New Year, and you still have to go on a business trip?"

Zhang Yida nodded, "If you encounter some troubles, you have to solve them, and I will come back before the New Year." ”

Zhao Erya knew how big Ruixiang's territory was now, so she entered the cloakroom reasonably, and began to pack up Zhang Yida's travel clothes.

......

When Zhang Yida's Gulfstream private jet landed at New Delhi Airport, Singh, CEO of Cibao Payment, immediately greeted him and beckoned Zhang Yida and others to get on the bus.

Ma Jun and Lan Lan, who accompanied them, got into another car, and Zhang Yida and Singh rode in the same car.

On the way, Singh recounted the troubles that BBPay had encountered.

"The pure Chinese composition has caused us to encounter a lot of problems in the process of development.

We have to face more scrutiny and questioning than Paytm. ”

Zhang Yida nodded, "Okay, I know, I'm here to solve this matter." ”

Singh sighed, "After Paytm received investment from Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway last year, its influence in the capital market has far surpassed ours.

You know, this is Warren Buffett's first investment in India.

According to this gentleman's value investment philosophy, it is very likely that he will hold this stake for more than 10 years.

Warren Buffett has begun to invest in mobile payments in India, which sends a signal to the outside world.

Google Tez and AmazonPay have been launched one after another, and Walmart has acquired Flipkart, and the curve has entered the mobile payment market.

Local Fidelity Group has also launched its mobile payment app Jiomoney and payment bank JioPaymentsBank.

In addition, startups include Tiger Fund, Blackshirt India, Razorpay, which is invested by Matrix Partners Global, and Freecharge, which was acquired by India's third-largest e-commerce platform. ”

Zhang Yida frowned when he heard this, foreign technology giants, Indian local giants, start-up companies, plus Chinese technology giants, the four parties are currently fighting together.

"By the way, isn't PaytmMall the third largest e-commerce company?

Zhang Yida is a little curious, in addition to mobile payment, Paytm has also launched B2C e-commerce, and wants to fully copy Ahri.

Listening to the boom in India, is the strategy ineffective?

Singh waved his hand, "No, Mr. Zhang, you don't know, PaytmMall has been providing cashback on a large scale before.

Unfortunately, they have not been able to find sales volume and unit economics in the e-commerce sector for individual consumers.

According to their logistics partners, PaytmMall's average monthly transaction volume has been declining over the past few months.

PaytmMall is now a joke in India, they learn from China's Pindodo, and offer Indian consumers high rebates on the purchase of Apple phones. ”

"However, the national situation is different, and users have finished buying iPhones and continue to return to Amazon and Flipkart to shop."

Moreover, there are still many users who don't believe that there are such high rebates and don't dare to buy mobile phones on their platform at all.

At present, PaytmMall has completely abandoned the B2C market and completely transformed into B2B. ”

Zhang Yida smiled, what's wrong with this horse, let you plagiarize, now you have a bitter taste!

I originally wanted to test the water of e-commerce in India, but looking like this, it is very difficult to do it!

The first place in the Indian e-commerce market is Amazon, and the second place is Flipkart, which is backed by Walmart.

In third place is the comeback startup Snapdeal, while Ahri-invested PaytmMall slipped to the next four.

If you look at the Chinese market, you can understand that the e-commerce market is great, and there are three companies with a large market share, and the other companies can only drink soup and can't eat meat at all.

Looking at this posture, Ahri's e-commerce strategic layout in India is basically about to collapse.

Zhang Yida felt that he couldn't jump into this big pit anymore, the time window had been missed, so he could only lie dormant and wait and see.

Singh went on to describe the current state of mobile payments in India, with a natural focus on Paytm and its parent company, One97.

Ahri and SoftBank's investments have also been largely invested in the parent company.

In addition to Paytm and PaytmMall, One97 currently also owns PaytmMoney, a wealth management subsidiary, and PaytmPaymentsBank, a payment bank.

Because we are Chinese, our application to the payment bank has been rejected repeatedly.

However, now everyone has also seen that the positioning of payment banks is problematic.

Our country's central bank has set the upper limit of deposits in payment banks at 100,000 rupees, or about 9,848 yuan.

The move is to ensure that paying banks do not pull in city dwellers and wealthy people who are already banked.

At the same time, in order to reduce risks, the central bank also prohibits the payment of bank loans to users, and cannot issue credit cards.

In addition, the central bank also stipulates that 75% of the deposits must be invested in government bonds with a maturity of no more than one year, and the remaining 25% can be deposited in commercial banks

This can't make money at all, and the company has applied for closure and stopped doing this bullshit payment banking business. ”

Zhang Yida smiled, the Indian government is also a pit, not only wants to start inclusive financial business through payment banks, but does not let enterprises make money.

Although domestic Internet banks cannot issue credit cards, they can lend money, which is also the main source of income.

"But it is feasible for us to apply for a financial bank that can provide loans to customers and issue credit cards, and can also accept deposits of more than 100,000 rupees," Singh added.

With 300 million users, we can fully seek more monetization models.

It's just that our current status as a Chinese investor is restricted, and it is basically impossible to apply for it. ”

Zhang Yida listened to Singh's repeated emphasis on his Chinese-funded identity, and he knew that he was dissatisfied with the status quo and was very eager to change this situation

So he said, "Singh, I can hand over control of BBPay to you, but you need to bear some responsibilities and debts. ”

Singh's heart moved, "What debt?"
