Chapter 697: Office Life in London
Meeting area in the Presidential Suite at Four Seasons.
On a long red mahogany table with six solid wood chairs with comfortable cushions and cushions, Andy stretched out lazily, with his back to the beautiful view of Hyde Park outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes slightly closed, holding a steaming cup of coffee in his hand, listening to the briefing of his work assistant Christina.
"The crew of "Iron Man" has started filming...
The improvement of the "Today's Headlines" APP has reached the final stage, and the promotion of the website is smooth...
The premiere data of "Mad Men" produced by AMC has come out, and the word-of-mouth response is good, and the ratings can only be regarded as average...
ALTHOUGH HULU VIDEO WEBSITE HAS RECENTLY NEGOTIATED A JOINT INVESTMENT WITH NBC, FOX, AND ABC, THE JOINING OF STRONG TRADITIONAL MEDIA HAS NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH ATTENTION, ON THE CONTRARY, IT HAS ATTRACTED A LOT OF VOICE. Most of the media pointed out that the integration between the three major US broadcasters, which are competitors to each other, is unlikely to work, and the emergence of Hulu is just the last ditch fight of traditional media against new media... β
The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, and he smiled noncommittally, but the hint of sarcasm was obvious, but when he opened his eyes, he glanced at the female assistant who was wearing a slim and decent OL black suit, with a pair of glasses, and exuded a mature young FU charm all over her body, and asked casually, "What do you think?" β
βγγγ I CAN'T JUDGE WHETHER THIS VIDEO SITE CAN SUCCEED,IT DEPENDS ON WHEN THE WEBSITE CAN MAKE A PROFIT,AFTER ALL, VIDEO SITES AROUND THE WORLD ARE FACING THE PROBLEM OF "BURNING MONEY",THE CURRENT ONLINE VIDEO INDUSTRY IS STILL ADHERING TO"TRAFFIC EQUALS INCOME,THE HIGHER THE TRAFFIC, THE HIGHER THE INCOME"CONCEPT,IT'S JUST THAT HULU VIDEO'S TRAFFIC DATA IS NOT OPTIMISTICγγγ β
"Huh?" Andy snorted, his eyes became serious, and he looked up and down at his female assistant who was still on probation, and couldn't help but be surprised by what she said before, it seemed that she was really capable of it.
"A lot of people laugh at me, it's plagiarizing other video sites without any new ideas, Hulu is just a "clown" who debuted a little soon, hehe, I will create a profit myth to slap that group of people in the face, what I want is to subvert the video website operation model, do you really think that NBC, ABC, FOX, the three major TV stations will gamble with their own money and resources?
No one is a fool, Hulu video has been established until now, in addition to building a perfect website, the rest is to run around and cooperate with employees, I even did not hesitate to let NBC, ABC, FOX become shareholders of the company, with the strategic awareness of traditional media transformation to impress them to join, can have two-thirds of the high-quality film and television resources in the United States at a lower price, without the common content of other video sites is not good enough, not enough, not enough new troubles. β
Andy seems to be introducing himself to his work assistant, and he seems to be talking to himself, but in his own heart, he is extremely convinced that Hulu will succeed, because Hulu's core competitiveness is unrivaled video content. In other words, without the support of the three shareholders who each hold 10% of the shares and the film and television content production institutions, Hulu will lose its magic weapon to win, and its success will be an empty word.
Remembering that the plan he had arranged for Hulu Video was completed step by step, until it reached this level, this was already his expected goal.
THE FIRST STEP WAS FOR HULU VIDEO TO COMPLETE LONG-TERM COOPERATION AGREEMENTS WITH CONTENT PROVIDERS FOR NICHE CHANNELS, INCLUDING COMEDY CENTER CHANNEL SUNDANCE AND PUBLIC TELEVISION IN THE UNITED STATES.
The second step is to obtain cooperation with more than 220 major traditional media content producers, including Sony, MGM, Warner Bros., Lionsgate and the NBA, through continuous negotiations and negotiations.
AT THIS TIME, THE PART OF THE START-UP CAPITAL THAT ANDY GAVE HULU VIDEO WAS ALMOST SPENT, AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS OF OPERATION, THE VALUE OF HULU VIDEO WAS ALSO REFLECTED, SO THE NEGOTIATION TEAM COMPOSED OF VIDEO WEBSITES AND THINK TANKS BEGAN TO CONTACT NBC, FOX, AND ABC, HOPING TO BRING IN THESE THREE INVESTORS TO OBTAIN FOLLOW-UP EXPANSION FUNDS AND THEIR OWN VIDEO PROGRAMS.
As a result, Andy achieved the idea when he first established the Hulu video website, without spending too much money, to build a video store with the largest number of programs and the most complete number of programs on the Internet, providing one-stop services.
Now that everything is laid out, the next thing is simple, Andy is also going to come up with a real killer feature, making Hulu Video the most popular video site for advertisers and Internet users in one fell swoop.
"Read on ... Andy has decided to hold a video conference with the management of Hulu, tell them all his ideas and marketing models, and he can collect money with peace of mind in the future.
"Han Chenghao of Bangziguo FNC Company wants to start a music education system project, and the training of the women's orchestra is officially included in one of the company's future projects, and the FTIsland Orchestra has ranked sixth in regular album sales since its debut for 3 months... β
"Okay, I'm not interested in listening to the little money that Han Chenghao earned, a total of more than 10, 200,000 sales, it doesn't matter if this kind of thing is reported or not, but the music education school he said, give him feedback, as long as he can be self-sufficient, he can naturally start the school project, but he will not inject him with funds.
By the way, how about the income of those variety shows in the country of sticks?"
Andy really doesn't look down on the little profit that Han Chenghao makes now, and he will pay a little attention to the market value after the listing in the later stage, as for now, play by yourself.
"Mockingbird Copyright Company only reported the revenue figures of those variety shows, totaling about $2 million. There is no specific data. β
Hearing the female assistant's words, Andy pointed his chin with his fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly, he was really a little dissatisfied with this profit, but the stick country is a wonder, and he really only took his time.
"Boss, David Dunn has arrived, and Mr. William has arrived. Teeny Black, the little assistant, walked into the conference area and said to Andy.
"Let them come, Christina, and you can take the minutes of the meeting. Andy nodded.
Work assistant Christina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally passed, it seems that this high-paying job has been kept, and it is not in vain that she has done a lot of homework during this time, and being able to contact the business core of the big boss shows that the boss has recognized her.
"Good morning, boss. As soon as David Dunn entered the meeting area, he smiled and reached out to meet the boss's outstretched hand, greeting and shaking hands.
"David, sit down first, tell Tori what you want to drink. ANDY SMILED AND NODDED, MOTIONING FOR DAVID DUNN TO TAKE A SEAT FIRST, AND THEN LOOKED AT ANOTHER MIDDLE-AGED MAN NAMED WILLIAM WHO WALKED IN TOGETHER.
"William, how is it today? I hope you have good news for me. β
"Good day, boss. William greeted Andy with a relaxed and calm smile on his face, and after shaking hands with the big boss, he opened his computer bag, took out a notebook, opened it directly and put it on the table, and after turning on the computer and entering the password, he said while turning the laptop screen to the big boss.
"Boss, you can rest assured that everything is going according to plan, and the clearance can be completed today, and it will take time for the assets to be settled. β
Andy looked at the charts of the selected stocks on the computer screen, and knew that these stocks were the targets of the Predators London group, "What is the current situation?"
"We have completed the absorption at the bottom, on the 18th day after the Bank of England decided to save the market, the stock price began to retaliate xing rebound, there is currently upward pressure, we judge, there is no new positive stimulus, the price of these bank stocks that have fallen sharply, will not be able to recover to the previous price, so we decided to liquidate, is currently operating the stock price shock finishing, in order to facilitate our easy whole body exit. β
William pressed the keyboard and showed Andy the curve charts, while explaining to the big boss in simple and bright words.
After all, Andy is no longer a financial novice, after reading the curve charts of various stocks, he is relieved, this trip to London of his predator group can be said to be lucrative and profitable, and it is no wonder that some media in London instigated public opinion to accuse him of Andy Smith taking advantage of the fire to rob.
