Chapter 625: The Wolf Is Officially Coming (First Update)

Liu Yun's plan is to prepare these variety shows in the second half of 2009, and then officially launch them in 2010 next year.

Generally speaking, an era of 10 years, then from next year, it will be the second era of the 21st century.

The real curtain of the mobile Internet era will be officially opened next year.

"By the way, you are also in the entertainment industry, help me find some singers with outstanding strength and distinctive stage personalities. Liu Yun said to Li Hao.

"No problem, I already have a rough idea of who to choose from here. Li Hao nodded back.

He was vaguely aware that once he participated in this singing competition, he could take his career to a whole new level.

"That's what I thought. Liu Yun groaned for a moment and continued, "There must be all kinds of competition singers, those with high notes, strong adaptation ability, and strong typhoon appeal. ”

"The age distribution of the players should be wide, both the older and the younger. ”

Li Hao replied: "No problem, I will find a suitable singer in the circle." In my impression, there are indeed many singers with good strength, but also unknown names. ”

Chen Zifeng interjected: "Lao Liu, are you really going to only use Youku live broadcast and stop cooperating with TV stations?"

Liu Yun replied in a resolute tone: "The TV station can have the right to record and broadcast, and I can even pay no fee, but I will not share the right to broadcast live." ”

Li Hao thought for a while and said: "The advantage is that we have the absolute initiative, in case the show is popular, we can also occupy the lion's share of this dividend, the disadvantage is that the audience coverage of the video website is not wide." It is foreseeable that our viewing group is basically young and middle-aged, and there may be few people over 40 years old. ”

Liu Yun replied: "These are enough, variety shows are the same as game competitions, and the popularity still needs young people to support it after all." If the TV station is willing, I will give the recording rights to the other party, and they will help form a secondary propaganda among the older groups. ”

Chen Zifeng's eyes flashed, showing a look of anticipation, and said: "If we win the online copyright of the World Cup again, it means that throughout next year, Youku will be in a state of high exposure, which will help to continuously accumulate active users." ”

The more active users you have, the more advertising dollars you can get.

Liu Yun replied: "Now Youku has the first video website in China, but the advantage is not obvious. There is no need for a heat to establish its leading position in one fell swoop. So the first step is to choose the World Cup, through such a sports event, to increase the popularity of the website, the second step is to launch "I am a singer" after the World Cup, so that the Youku video website has always been at the center of public opinion, which can avoid the loss of active users. ”

Li Hao smiled: "Mr. Liu, you want Youku to be able to kill in the two fields of sports and entertainment." ”

Liu Yun didn't deny it, but smiled at Li Hao: "If you're interested, come to Youku to hang a name, and you'll be here for music, so that you can be regarded as a famous teacher." I believe that in the future, the connection between Internet companies and the entertainment industry will be very close. “

Joining Yoyo means that you will not be so free in the future.

But Yoyo's resources can make you more comfortable in this circle.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Then I can be regarded as Youyou's official agent in the entertainment industry." ”

......

The YOYO 1 model of mobile phones, after 3 months of official sales, officially exceeded 300,000 sales, leaving another Android machine, HTC, far behind.

With practical actions, Yoyo slapped those who were not optimistic about them in the face.

As Liu Yun said, he will try to subvert today's mobile phone industry.

But on the Internet, the negative evaluation of YOYO smart phones has never been eliminated.

For example, the system is prone to crash, freeze, easy damage and other problems emerge one after another. If compared with the iPhone of the same era, it is indeed a lot of defects.

However, because the iPhone has not been officially sold in mainland China, parallel imports have become popular, and scalpers have also made a lot of money.

But it seems like it's coming to an end......

Wu Qiang rushed to Ningjiang from Shanghai, and as soon as he had a management meeting, he received a phone call, and then immediately trotted to the boss's office.

"Mr. Liu. There was an anxious look in his eyes, "It's been officially approved!"

"What?" Liu Yun looked at him a little out of breath and asked, "You speak clearly!"

"Unicom ......" Wu Qiang took a deep breath, "Unicom has reached an agreement with Apple to officially introduce the iPhone 3GS for sale in the mainland." ”

Liu Yun slapped his forehead, he was busy with Youku's affairs recently, but he forgot about it.

At this point in time, it is time for iPhone to enter the Chinese mainland market.

In the future, the revenue of the Chinese mainland market will rank third in Apple's revenue division.

The first is the entire American market, the second is the European market, and the third is the entire Greater China market, far exceeding the rest of Asia combined.

"Unicom should have signed a three-year agency contract. Liu Yun said with a slight frown.

If I am not mistaken, Unicom should have monopolized the right to operate for the next three years and ate this piece of fat.

"Mr. Liu, you have also paid attention. They did sign for 3 years. Wu Qiang said, "In terms of price, if it is a bare metal, that is, an iPhone that does not participate in the contract plan, the prices are: iPhone 3G 8GB is 4999 yuan, iPhone 3GS 16GB is 5880 yuan, and iPhone 3GS 32GB is 6999 yuan." ”

So...... The wolf is really coming.

"Mr. Liu. Wu Qiang frowned and said, "This kind of pricing is a bit expensive, but Apple and Unicom seem to be full of confidence and are very optimistic about the sales of this mobile phone." Is there really anyone who would spend so much money just to buy a mobile phone for calls? ”

Liu Yun smiled indifferently and said, "If I say that there will be some paranoia in the future, and I don't hesitate to sell my kidney to buy this iPhone, do you believe it or not?"

Wu Qiang's head shook like a rattle, and he replied: "If you don't believe it, how can someone be so stupid?"

Liu Yun looked thoughtful and said, "I originally thought that no one would be so stupid, but the world is so big, there are no surprises, maybe someone will really open your eyes." It's like some gamers who believe that they can get paid for playing games, and even game companies will pay RMB. ”

He knew that the former would happen in the future, while the latter was already a fact that had already happened.

Man is a strange creature, and sometimes it is just a comparative, or vanity, that can lead him into a frenzy of losing his self-judgment and reason.

Liu Yun continued: "The most important thing in making a product is to capture the user's mentality. Apple is well aware that if their phones are priced cheaper, the first to be dissatisfied are their users, and without the expensive price, there is no sense of superiority that follows. ”

Wu Qiang asked a question he was most concerned about: "Will this price make the sales of our mobile phones decline?"

Liu Yun didn't choose to answer, but asked rhetorically: "Then do you think it will affect sales?"

"I don't think so!"

"Why?"

Wu Qiang said with certainty: "Because of the price, the price of our YOYO mobile phone is far cheaper than that of the iPhone." We're just 1/2 or even 1/3 of each other. ”

Liu Yun chuckled and replied affirmatively: "No, there will inevitably be a huge landslide in the sales of our mobile phones, and this is a huge test for you." ”

Wu Qiang asked: "Why, can such an expensive mobile phone still be sold out?"

Liu Yun replied: "I said that people's vanity is often very strange. Many people are willing to buy an iPhone with 2 or 3 months' salary, rather than a month's salary to buy us. We have to be mentally prepared. ”
