Since Li Mu put the hoarding of epidemic prevention materials in the first place at the moment, after finishing the division of labor with Senior Brother Liu, he immediately called Elon Musk who was far away in the United States, and it was time to use this buddy.

Elon Musk was very excited when he received Li Mu's call, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Mr. Li, you finally remembered me! Since you left the United States, it seems that you haven't called me." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "There is an old saying in Huaxia that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, which describes our relationship, which is not necessarily very close, but it is a close comrade-in-arms in a camp. ”

Elon Musk laughed and said, "Mr. Li, do you have something to do with me?"

Li Mu snorted and said, "Elon, I want to ask you for help with something." ”

Elon Musk said: "Mr. Li, you don't have to be so polite with me, if you have any send, just ask, I will do my best to help." ”

Hearing Elon Musk so serious and determined, Li Mu said that he hoped he would help find a channel from the United States to get a large number of 3M and Honeywell protection users, Elon Musk listened to it and immediately smiled: "Mr. Li, this matter is so easy to do, there are my classmates among the executives of these two companies, I will help you call and consult." ”

Li Mu instructed: "Elon, in addition to the source of goods, there are a few points that you need to help fight for. ”

"Speak. ”

"First of all, try to help keep the price to the lowest level, and secondly, I plan to use the American branch of Makino Technology to reach it in the United States first, and then go through the relevant procedures to air transport it to China, so when you talk to them, try to let Makino Technology offset part of the funds by means of resource replacement. ”

Elon Musk asked him, "What are the resources?"

Li Mu said: "Promote resources first, if they fancy anything from other resources, they can directly put it forward, and I will send someone to talk to them specifically." ”

Elon Musk immediately understood and said with a smile: "With YY's current influence and information delivery capabilities around the world, I think they will definitely be interested." ”

Li Mu said: "Then I will leave this matter to you, and when I go to the United States next time, I will invite you to drink." ”

“OK！”

……

The executives of DreamWorks flew back to the United States from Hong Kong, leaving Spielberg alone, and at this time, his new film "Cat and Mouse Game" was in an important stage of its release, and he could not go back to promote the roadshow, which made Spielberg somewhat regretful.

Although Spielberg knows in his heart that the influence of the Lord of the Rings is too great, deep down he still longs for his movie to surpass him at the real-time box office, but now it seems that this wish is a little unrealistic.

Lying on the bed in the hotel, Spielberg's mind kept flashing many clips of his new movie, which he liked very much, so he was looking forward to the recognition of this movie by the market.

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Spielberg suddenly received a phone call from the United States, and it was a person in charge of distribution at DreamWorks, who told Spielberg excitedly on the phone: "Steven, our "Cat and Mouse Game" won the box office today!"

"Won the championship?" Spielberg looked surprised and blurted out, "How come?" How much is Lord of the Rings 2 today?"

The other party said excitedly: "Lord of the Rings 2 is 11 million dollars today, but we have 18 million dollars today!"

Spielberg was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? We barely exceeded 10 million on the first day of release, why did it suddenly explode today?"

Yesterday YY made a push advertisement for our film in North America, and then our box office more than doubled, after all, our box office was only $8.8 million yesterday. ”

Spielberg remembered that Li Mu had promised him to help him push a round of "Cat and Mouse Game", which he remembered very clearly, but because of Anne Hathaway's sudden illness, coupled with high fatigue, his brain was obviously a little dull.

Spielberg made a rough calculation in his heart, yesterday's box office was only 8.8 million, if you follow the normal trend of natural decay, then today's box office should be between 7.5 million and 8 million US dollars, but because Li Mu pushed a round on YY, the box office immediately became 18 million, YY's delivery ability and transformation ability are really so strong? !

YY once launched, directly added 10 million US dollars to the box office of the movie, this data really scared Spielberg, although he knew that YY was very powerful, but far from expecting it to come to this point, he felt that YY could increase the box office by 10%, he was already very satisfied, how did he not expect that YY's increase in the box office reached an astonishing 125%.

Spielberg doesn't understand the Internet, so he doesn't understand the conversion rate of Internet advertising, and the conversion rate of Internet advertising not only depends on the platform, the number of audience users, and the audience's spending power, but also depends on the product itself promoted by the advertisement.

Now the total number of online products is small, so the conversion rate of information delivery is higher than ten years later, and YY is unbeatable in this era, so its conversion rate at the moment is much stronger, this is a powerful platform blessing, and it is impossible to compare with any platform.

In addition, Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Leonardo, although these are extremely famous celebrities in the film and television industry, but subject to their promotion, about their new film trends, there may be some viewers who are not clear, do not understand, or have only heard of it, but have not yet had the idea of watching the movie, so this group of users was originally the object that Spielberg could not activate, but because of the role of the YY platform, it is easier for users to have the urge to watch movies.

In this case, the greater the quality and gimmick of the movie itself, the higher the conversion rate will naturally be, YY pushes a movie directed by Spielberg, starring Tom Hanks and Leonardo, as long as the information is hung up, plus a little spoiler, it is enough to make many people eager to try, but if Li Mu is asked to use YY to push a wave of Zhang Yimou's works in the United States, the probability of users buying it is bound to be much lower than Spielberg's works.

At this time, Spielberg didn't think about it so deeply, he just felt that Li Mu once again refreshed his opinion of him, it seems that the current YY is not just a communication software and portal, he really began to realize that Li Mu's YY is a platform with strong adaptability to almost omnipotent, it can be used to promote anything, it is a supercarrier that sets sail from the Internet, but can cover any country, region and industry in the world.

On the other end of the phone, the person in charge of distribution still said excitedly: "Steven, if it is attenuated according to the normal attenuation, our box office will be at least more than 15 million US dollars tomorrow, and if we consider that those YY users with spending power are mostly white-collar workers, we are very likely to usher in a peak period again on the weekend!"

Spielberg suddenly realized!

Although YY's push was sent yesterday, there is a lag in the transformation of information, and there must be a considerable number of users who have received the push of this movie yesterday, and they also have an interest in going to the cinema to watch the movie, but because of the time, there is no way to go immediately for the time being, so they can only wait until the weekend.

In this way, the weekend is bound to usher in a new peak again!

Hanging up the phone, Spielberg was very excited, although he had already entered the sequence of old people, but he was full of joy for a young man like Li Mu, so it seems that he is really right to take Li Mu's line,

The more this is the case, the more Spielberg feels that he has to do his best to maintain his relationship with Li Mu, with such a great god, the history of the world film and television industry may be rewritten in the future.

was excited, and the phone suddenly rang again, and this time it was Elon Musk who called.

At this time, Spielberg looked at Elon Musk's name, and felt cute in his heart, because he was able to get acquainted with Li Mu, basically relying on Elon Musk to pull the strings, and it was he who invited Li Mu to participate in his charity dinner in Los Angeles, which made him officially take Li Mu's line.

Answering the phone, Spielberg said in an excited and enthusiastic voice: "Hello Elon, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

Elon Musk didn't expect Spielberg to be so happy, and said with a smile: "Steven, congratulations, the box office of the new film has risen against the trend and killed all the rings!"

Spielberg smiled: "It's all Li Mu's help, if it weren't for him, today's box office would definitely not get such good results." ”

"You're right. Elon Musk said in agreement, and then asked: "By the way, Steven, I want to ask you something, this is our private communication, I hope you don't spread it to the outside world." ”

Spielberg realized that Elon Musk should have something to do with him, so he said seriously: "Don't worry, Elon, I swear to God that I won't tell anyone." ”

Elon Musk responded, and said: "That's the case, Li Mu just called me and asked me to help him get a lot of protective equipment from the United States, I don't understand what he wants so much protective equipment for, there may be some kind of opportunity in this, you should have heard about staying with him recently, right? Can you tell me about it?"

Spielberg subconsciously asked him: "Li Mu asked you to help purchase protective equipment from the United States?"

"Yes. Elon Musk said: "Strange, right? I haven't figured it out, what is he doing with these things from thousands of miles away? If he needs it on Taobao, there is no need to be so troublesome." ”

Spielberg quickly understood Li Mu's intentions, it seems that the news he got in the hospital in the early hours of this morning was treated by Li Mu as a major matter, otherwise he would not have asked Elon Musk to help with this.

Thinking of this, Spielberg had two thoughts in his heart.

First of all, I must not tell Elon Musk what happened in the early hours of this morning, otherwise once the news leaks and brings trouble to Huaxia, then I will become Li Mu's enemy;

Secondly, since Li Mu wants to hoard relevant materials in advance, then he, as an insider, should also say everything, and he suddenly thought that he not only knew the executives of General Electric of the United States, but also had a very good personal relationship, when he was filming in Germany, he also met the executives of Siemens, and they have been in close contact in recent years, and they have already become friends, GE and Siemens are the top companies in the field of medical devices in the world, maybe they can help Li Mu do something......
