Chapter 12 Media Giants
Du Jing quietly looked at Ren Qingchen, who was full of energy, no matter how much he could guess, he couldn't have imagined that the American Film Association's investigation of Fengyun Network was touched by Ren Qingchen and Jin Jiayan. During his lifetime, Jin Lao maintained tepid relations with the British side due to his colonial relations with Hong Kong, as well as with the United States, but the relationship was never broken.
After Jin Jiayan took over Hutchison Plains, he deliberately interacted with the powerful people in the United States, although he did not want to do business in the United States, but he had an attitude of broadening his perspective and tentacles. Now relying on the collected information, it is handed over to the Motion Picture Association of America and the American Television Network at the node of the To negotiation, and the revenge mentality hidden in this makes Du Jing shudder.
Sitting in the VIP box of Hong Kong's top club, Du Jing didn't feel the same hatred at all, and he was full of ambiguity, and he also felt that there was a cold place in his heart.
"It's not good for Lotus either." Du Jing endured it for a long time before he said slowly.
Hengchun Technology is also a shareholder of Lotus, and Ren Qingchen is so reckless as to do this kind of lose-lose thing with Jin Jiayan?
"Hey, Du Jing, it's not right for you to say that," Ren Qingchen frowned slightly, leaned forward and said, "Brother Jin, doesn't he want to vent for you?" You see that since you took office, you have been pressed by Yu Jun's kid, can you bear this breath? ”
I'm afraid it's more for his son, right? Du Jing sighed in his heart, it was inconvenient to say this to Jin Jiayan.
Hengchun Technology is a state-owned enterprise, and it also undertakes national-level scientific research work, and the foundry is pulled away by Yunfeng Electronics, not to mention, as long as the scientific research strength is still there, Ren Qingchen will be fine. As for the decrease in paper earnings on the stock investment in Lotus Network, the overall Internet stock market is still rising, and these will always come back.
But Ren Qingchen is not afraid to let him know about this way? Say he doesn't have the big picture at all? Du Jing thought secretly in his heart, and saw Jin Jiayan leaning on the sand and looking at himself with an arrogant gaze.
He was unhappy for a while, the Jin family's family business was not laid by Jin Jiayan, he was just a second ancestor who inherited the family property, and the Hutchison Plain was in his hands, and he didn't get how fast to develop, if there was an exhibition, it was also the foundation laid by Jin Lao, and now it is just relying on inertia to grow. URL
To be honest, Du Jing didn't look down on this second young man of the Jin family, but he still turned his gaze to the other side and didn't look at him. At least politeness, Du Jing can still be modest.
What's more, now the cooperation between Hengchun Technology, Hutchison Plains and Qinglian Group has been greatly expanded, offending Jin Jiayan, Du Feng is not good at life.
Jin Jiayan retracted his gaze, thinking that it was not once or twice that he saw the young man of the Du family, who was known as a business genius, and the feeling he gave Jin Jiayan was not worthy of the name, if it weren't for Du Feng's fact that he couldn't support the wall, and Du Qinghai was in a semi-retired state, he didn't want to talk to Du Jing about anything.
And in a certain aspect, Du Feng is quite his appetite, at least if Du Feng is ruthless, he can be ruthless.
As for Du Jing, it was softer.
"Don't talk about that." Ren Qingchen saw that Du Jing didn't answer, so he waved his hand and said, "I have sent the latest materials to the United States, I heard that Yu Jun is also in the United States, I don't know what he will think when he sees that material." ”
After speaking, Ren Qingchen smiled proudly again, quite a bit of a spring breeze proud.
Since being poached by Yunfeng Electronics on a large scale and pulling away OEM orders, coupled with taking land to eat turtles in Yunguang and Mingyang several times, he has always felt that his chest is so congested, when did he be suppressed like this in the shopping mall from a red family, not to mention that he is still a yellow-haired boy.
Now that he finally has a bad breath, can he not be so happy that the corners of his mouth are wide open?
"What material?" Du Jing raised his head slightly and asked him.
"I asked the accountant to roughly calculate the revenue of Fengyun Network, damn, it's so profitable," Speaking of this, Ren Qingchen grabbed the handrail, as if he was very jealous of Fengyun Network's profiteering, "You say, if the American Television Network and the American Film Association get these things, what will they think?" ”
That's a vampire who has no hair and has to pluck two roots, before Ren Qingchen and Jin Jiayan only provided the number of American dramas and Hollywood movies in the Internet café of Fengyun Network, and now they provide revenue reports.
Although it was only an approximate - it was impossible to imagine that it could be investigated, after all, the salary was kept secret above a certain level - but it was enough to make Ren Qingchen and Jin Jiayan red-eyed.
It is hard to imagine that in the same industry, the treatment is higher, but the profit of Fengyun Network is greater than that of Lotus.
"Is there a backup?" Du Jing asked.
He also wanted to know about the profitability of Fengyun Network, although some clues could be guessed from a series of investment scales such as Yunfeng Electronics and Liushui Iron and Steel, it was not as detailed as the report obtained from the investigation.
"You go and get one to Mr. Du." Ren Qingchen waved his hand and asked his close assistant to get it.
"Can we still enter the Internet café market on a large scale?" Jin Jiayan asked suddenly.
Ren Qingchen and Du Jing both looked over, this President Jin was naturally not as simple as humbly asking for advice, but probably wanted to get a piece of the pie here, but how could it be that simple.
Now Fengyun and Lotus's exhibition are stepping on the pace of market growth, and they do not want to lead to a decline in profits because of excessive expansion, and they themselves have greatly reduced the price because of the reduction of communication tariffs, which has caused profits to plummet.
If there is a strong capital intervention, it will definitely make this market like the TV and VCD market, due to the price war and the profits plummet, and become a low-profit industry.
"It's not difficult to enter the market, but if you want to completely reverse the advantage of Fengyun, it may take a lot of capital." Du Jing said tactfully.
He knew that although Hutchison Plains had a lot of cash in his hands, and the loans he could get were not low, it was not so easy to use the money with one nail and one eye.
Jin Jiayan touched Du Jing's thoughts, smiled indifferently, and said no more.
While the three were talking secretly in Hong Kong's top club, Yu Jun was attending a celebration reception between AO1 and Time Warner.
January 11, 200o is definitely a day to remember for all Nasdaq stockholders, as broadband access provider and website operator AO1 merged with content resource provider Time Warner to form a new media empire that spans both the old and the new.
The new name after the merger will be AO1 Time Warner, and its market value will surpass Amazon and Yahoo, the two benchmarks of the American Internet industry, and many people even predict that AO1 Time Warner will usher in a new Internet era.
But Yu Jun didn't think so, he carried a cherry to Sun Yuha's soft lips, and said to Ellison, who was numb by his behavior: "This company will be struggling in three years." ”
"So fast?" Due to the popularity of the software store, Ellison has officially transformed from a simple software giant to an Internet giant, and most Internet industry banquets will invite him.
Of course, whether to go or not depends on the mood of this software genius with a very amazing personality.
Three years is just Yu Jun's estimate, and in fact, he can't remember when AO1 Times Warner took the word AO1 and greatly shrunk the Internet business, all he can remember is that the giant was not successful.
Perhaps in terms of film and television, Time Warner is still making great strides, but in the Internet business, it can only be said that it has failed to meet Wall Street's expectations every year, and the stock price has fallen step by step.
"I don't want to spend too much time with these TV and movie people, Ellison, I'd better go back to the villa first, I'm going back to China tomorrow." Yu Jun drank the wine in the wine glass, raised Ellison and smiled, and hugged Sun Yuhao back to the villa.
Ellison shook his head helplessly, this kid is sometimes more reckless than him, but Yu Jun's words made him think deeply, if the media giants formed by AO1 and Time Warner are not successful, will there be a chance for Oracle to intervene in the future?
Walking under the lights of Los Angeles, Yu Jun got the news of Mei Yutao, and the copyright associations of the two major industries learned about the revenue of Fengyun Network through a certain channel, and insisted that the problem of copyright fees could not be solved by the method proposed before.
"I'm sure the correlation number jù is provided by the Lotus Network." Mei Yutao, who has always been calm, is also a little angry when he speaks now.
It finally took a few days of work, and finally made the people of the two major copyright societies back down, and the sudden appearance of this kind of material made him have to think about Han Dawei again, and the preliminary work was almost overturned, can he not be popular?
Yu Jun smiled: "They were able to shout out nine billion copyright fees before, even if they have an understanding of the revenue, now they just get more detailed numbers, what are you afraid of?" How to talk about it or how to talk about it, didn't Yu Ting come to the United States? Let her work hard in the parliament for public relations, especially the committee that is mainly responsible for cultural communication affairs, and let Haitong dig three feet into the ground to dig up the secret of the chairman, I don't believe that anything can be dug up. ”
Qin Yuting's positive public relations in the relevant committees of the Congress, Qin Haitong is investigating behind the scenes, and he always has to find some loopholes, no matter how strong the copyright association is, it must be led by the relevant committees, right? There is no place without loopholes.
There is always no perfect, private life, injustice, bribery or not, as long as you find one of the key places, you can restrain the chairman.
Aren't Americans more concerned about fairness? As long as it's unfair, once it's exposed, it's big news. So does the chairman want to keep doing it?
But this kind of investigation is not something that can be done in a while, and Mei Yutao has to pull the copyright association to grind non-stop, and wait until the dust settles on the To negotiations.
I have the impression that the Chinese official in charge of the negotiations is still quite tough, and the previous message from the Central Propaganda Department was just a matter of posture, otherwise it would have been the Ministry of Commerce calling.
Hanging up the phone, Yu Jun hugged Sun Yuhao and went back to the villa, he was going to leave tomorrow, and he had to do it seven or eight times tonight.
