Chapter 2507 The Importance of the Japanese and Korean Markets
The news that the international superstar Qin Xue signed a contract with a sky-high price of 1ooo US dollars for a series of mobile phones was hyped by the media, which was not only the highest price ever, but also mentioned that Qin Xue would return to China on April 2o to participate in the filming of the advertising film and a series of promotional activities, which suddenly made the media about to have a convulsion.
Regarding Qin Xuexing's journey, the interview with her was also broadcast on TV, and Phoenix Satellite TV even rushed to Los Angeles for a face-to-face interview.
In the interview, she talked about how she went from an international student to an international superstar, signed with the now hot and winning Gelman Records, and became a disciple of the famous Gelman in the American music industry and the sister of rock sweetheart Avril Lavigne.
"Mr. Gelman was my music theory professor at USC, and he encouraged me to sing and put me on the path of singing, and I am very grateful to him, and I am grateful to the other person who can't speak." Qin Xue said with a mischievous wink.
Who is this person? The media with good things turned over the gray photos taken by Hollywood and analyzed them, but they didn't have a clue.
Qin Xue's status in Asia is far away from Jun Ji-hyun, who has become popular with a movie, and so far in the 3 records, Qin Xue has achieved sales of 540,000 copies, and if you count the downloads of software stores, it has exceeded 100 million.
If you want to calculate it in terms of income, Qin Xue has earned more than 100 million US dollars in the first year and a half of her debut.
It's not that Gelman's record is high, it's really that Qin Xue's production cost is too high, all of them are top lyricists and composers in Europe and the United States, and the price of this part alone is astronomical, shooting mV, each mV is above a budget of 2ooo US dollars, and 3 albums, the budget alone is 6ooo US dollars.
The big-name mV directors invited are all like to support it, and counting the income tax, although Qin Xue now has 7 endorsements, and the one that can get it is only 100 million US dollars.
But just such a net worth is unmatched among all East Asian artists.
Yu Jun predicts that after Qin Xue's arrival, the album sales will be less and less, and the number of downloads in the software store will be higher and higher.
The main source of revenue will be the share of the software store, which excludes the cost of the sales channel, and the share to the software store is much lower than the share to the record store, which is also a significant figure.
"I heard that you will be holding a global concert tour in August this year, will you come to Hong Kong?" A reporter from Phoenix TV asked.
"Hong Kong is the fifth stop, and we will go to Yunguang, and Shanghai is also in contact." Qin Xue said with a smile.
After the news was broadcast in China, a heat wave hit, which quietly repelled Jun Ji-hyun's endorsement of Samsung's mobile phone.
Yu Jun shrunk into the spacious chair, looked at the news, turned his head and quietly glanced at Luo Yuan, who was quietly scrolling at Wen Jiàn: "Do you really want to block the news of the artists under S.M Company?" Isn't h.o.T hot in the country? If Thunder is not on the news online, Galaxy and Sina will also be on it, right? "
"You still don't appreciate the help." Luo Yuan bit her lip and said.
"Hehe, you said that what the Central Propaganda Department did, it is better to be blocked, and the mind is still necessary, the Korean stick wants to enter the domestic market, and they are close to each other, they may not be our opponents, there is competition to improve, isn't it back to close the country?" Yu Jun said with a smile.
Luo Yuan put down the text in his hand and said: "Thunder Online is becoming less and less like a website, the film and television department controls three TV stations, as well as 1oo screens and theaters, and the commercial real estate in his hand is a considerable number." On the contrary, the income from the Internet is not much......"
"Blizzard's "World of Warcraft" will be launched in July, and it will be operated by Blizzard and the online game operation center, and this game alone can bring a lot of revenue," Yu Jun said with the TV remote control in his hand, "Jinshan will also launch 4 online games within the year, and the revenue from the operation center will reach 1.5 billion within the year?" "
"Thunder has a relatively large share in the operation center, so it can be divided into 1.5 billion, and the overall market size is only about 6o billion, and it has not been completely opened, are you really so optimistic about "World of Warcraft"?" Luo Yuan asked.
"Blizzard's games have always focused on balance and teamwork, as well as confrontation, and these three things alone are extremely important to the consumer's mentality, and from the perspective of the system, "World of Warcraft" is an online game that can allow Blizzard to become the king of game software business. Hmm, didn't you read the predictions made by the Westridge Market Research Center? By 2o12, the domestic online game market can reach 8oo billion, the operation center can reach half of the country, and it is also a share of 4oo billion, and it will be distributed to Thunder Online, can there be 1.8o billion? It has tripled in 1o years, and the degree is not slow. Yu Jun said with a smile.
"I communicated with Yifan, he said that this year will increase the launch of foreign language versions of online games in Southeast Asian markets such as Vietnam, and it is expected that in a few years, it will add up to a multi-billion market, not counting the profits of the English version of the online game market in Europe and the United States, to reach an average annual growth of 2o%, adding up to a 100 billion market, the future of Thunder Online is actually very bright."
Luo Yuan nodded her chin with the tip of her pen and said, "What about the Japanese and Korean markets?" With more than 300 million potential consumers, you seem to have been controlling your products to enter the Japanese and South Korean markets, whether it is computers, mobile phones, mp3, online games, or software, you have deliberately avoided them? "
Yu Jun turned off the TV, turned around and said: "The Japanese and South Korean markets are strategically abandoned, people in both countries have a strong wariness of China, and more importantly, xenophobia, when it comes to inner conservatism, the Japanese and Koreans can rank among the top 5 in the world." Except for MP3, there is no complete advantage in other businesses, and Japanese and Korean manufacturers can produce it. Japan is better, and may consider cooperating with dealers who are not the four major consortium families in the second half of the year, and South Korea may have to give up completely. "
Now is not the time to enter the Korean market, Samsung, Hyundai, LG, SK and other groups control a lot of the Korean market, only when the product technology is improved to make Korean sticks do not consume and feel unhappy, is a good opportunity to enter the Korean market.
To be honest, a market of tens of millions of people, no matter how strong the spending power is, it is not too important for a global company, but the Japanese market cannot give up.
Luo Yuan nodded and continued to lower her head to deal with Wen Jiàn.
These documents were sent to Chengdu by fax, emai1 mailbox or express delivery from Swift Logistics.
Yu Jun has been staying in Chengdu in order to wait for Liu Mingxue to talk about the matter with the provincial government of northern Sichuan, which can be regarded as another kind of pressure on the provincial government, and met with people in the province, and the conversation was very pleasant, but he knew that those people may not be thinking about Yu Jun's worries.
If even Yundian takes out 4.5 billion, how much should the province come up with?
Northern Sichuan is a province with a large population, but its economic strength is still much worse than that of the eastern coastal areas, and even if 500 million yuan is allocated every year and distributed to governments at all levels, it is a big burden.
When Liu Mingxue came to this villa, he suddenly remembered an idiom: cunning rabbit three holes. Thinking that it was too inappropriate to press on Wang Bing's body, he quickly shook his head and erased this thought from his mind.
Yu Jun is sitting on the edge of the pool eating shaved ice, Chengdu in April after the Qingming Festival is a little bit on fire, with the shaved ice machine in the villa, plus chocolate sauce, is also a delicacy.
"520 million? Count them if they can handle it," Yu Jun felt amused, "Let Chen Xian supervise it, if it doesn't happen in any year, tell them, Yundian is not afraid of wasting time, money and trouble, and then transfer the base to other provinces, and ask Yundian to go less?" "
Liu Mingxue smiled and nodded: "I will convey Jun Shao's words to the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor." "
"Mingxue, let me ask you, Yundian wants to enter the Japanese and South Korean markets, do you think it is necessary to open a breakthrough in South Korea or Japan first?" Yu Jun put the shaved ice bowl aside, wiped his mouth with a wet towel and said.
Liu Mingxue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "South Korea, South Korea has a small population, and it takes less energy to enter the market, so it's easy to get out if something goes wrong." "
"No wonder Mingxue you have always been only responsible for production, I thought Junhao would not employ people," Yu Jun made a small joke, "Koreans are particularly strict in their xenophobia, which has something to do with the fact that they have been a vassal state of China and a colony of Japan for more than a thousand years. Coupled with the South Korean and North Korean issues, their psychology is close to perversion. If Japan's four largest conglomerates account for more than 2o% of Japan's GDP, then South Korea's six major chaebols are over 7o%. These chaebols are the real monopoly operations, there is not even a single gap, and flies do not bite seamless eggs. The whole thing is a circle, how can you break through? To put it mildly, Koreans are more hateful than Europeans and Americans, and they really rely on China's cheap labor to maintain their high quality of life. One hand is the product produced with cheap labor, and then it is sold to the Chinese at a high price. Without the Chinese market, South Korea would have collapsed long ago. But the result? A bunch of unfamiliar wolf cubs, just looking at the words they say on the Internet, their appearance of high-spirited thugs in China is chilling. The landlord also knows how to build bridges and pave roads, just the charity funds taken out by Samsung and LG are shabby enough, where it looks like the world's top 5oo enterprises. "
Liu Mingxue rarely had the opportunity to hear Yu Jun's comments on Japanese and Korean companies in person, and he was a little dumbfounded.
But Yu Jun's thoughts are deeply rooted in the entire Xiling, after all, he is the soul of a business empire at the level of Xiling, and the enterprises in the Xiling system are not very cold to Japanese and Korean enterprises.
"The Japanese market is very important, well, you don't have to worry about these things, Uncle Zhuo will be responsible, you can do a good job in production management, and when the communication with the northern Sichuan provincial government is good, you can call me again, you go first." Yu Jun waved his hand and said.
Luo Yuan watched Liu Mingxue scratch his head and walk out in the floor-to-ceiling window, with a lonely look on his face.
If Yu Jun didn't mention that he was only responsible for production, he wouldn't think about anything, but he was a little disappointed at this mention.
"Let the little nanny buy the vegetables back, eat spicy tang in the villa, and don't go out."
Yu Jun pulled Luo Yuan to sit on his big feet and said with a smile.
