Chapter 11 New Year, New Weather

The last day of 2005.

Gu Mojie, who was refreshed, met with several compatriots on the other side of the strait in his reception room, and on the table, Fei Liluo reviewed the contract for him.

Lu Wenjun sat beside him, raised his hand and gestured, and his eyes were all tender and sweet. Even the compatriots on the other side of the strait who attended the meeting saw some signs of abnormality.

It's not that Lu Wenjun doesn't hide it, it's really that a woman, as a sensual animal, has some things that can't be suppressed. A girl who has just become a woman is naturally full of love in her heart.

Among the Taiwanese guests opposite, there was Wen Wanqing on the very edge, playing soy sauce there. It can be seen that her expression is not as haggard as a few days ago, and when she saw today's signing scene, she also felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

After a not fierce negotiation, the two parties signed their respective contracts and set the investment and filming contract for "Qin Shi Mingyue".

According to the contract, Hatsune Entertainment is responsible for all the filming funds of "Qin Shi Mingyue", and is fully responsible for the commercial operation after the filming is completed, including sub-licensing, and Taiwan's shell company Qiantang Xuanji Network shall not interfere.

However, if there is more than Taiwan's pre-planning and original copyright, Hatsune Entertainment will transfer 20% of the final operating income to Taiwan.

The Wen family didn't have so much spare money to shoot large-scale 3D animation, so they originally tried the water in person, but it was only because they heard that the cultural government department of Qiantang City had a high subsidy, so they were able to have fun. After the subsidy was smashed by Gu Mojie, they actually couldn't find any other source of funds that was strong enough. The reason why I insist on filming is nothing more than respecting the wishes of the deceased and playing the emotional card. If the money is less, the Taiwan side will admit it.

According to the estimates of both parties, it will take about a year for Hatsune Entertainment to shoot the first 30 levels of "Qin Shi Mingyue" and find a first-line TV station to broadcast it. As for the right to broadcast online and channel resources, there is no need to worry at all, after all, Chuyin Video is now the largest online video platform in China. And in the subdivision of online animation broadcasting, it is an absolute advantage of second killing.

In the identity of Gu Mojie. Nowadays, he usually only comes forward to sign large-scale long-term strategic cooperation agreements, and rarely involves specific decisions about a specific anime or game. However, "Qin Shi Mingyue" can also be regarded as a film that he is optimistic about, and secondly, it is also a thrilling coincidence, so it is better to do it himself.

Gu Mojie shook hands with the other party one by one. While depicting a beautiful vision for the other party: "Thanks to Mr. Wen's generosity, Hatsune Entertainment will definitely do its best to shoot this anime and ensure that it is an instant hit." The level of production of each episode will not be lower than the three-minute sample you see today. ”

The other party was also polite: "Then we will wait and see, I hope Mr. Gu can come up with a high-quality product." In terms of personnel. We will fully cooperate, but will not interfere with your employment. ”

The three-minute sample film mentioned by Gu Mojie is a sample film made by Hatsune Entertainment in the past few days based on the original work, script, and planning script of the Taiwan side. The technology currently used is naturally the current generation of AGEIA and Hatsune Singer 3D engines, plus exquisite post-rendering. Due to time constraints, it is currently only three minutes long.

This sample will be kept as an annex to the agreement, and it will be the benchmark for the picture quality of this film in the future, so as to avoid shoddy production after Hatsune gets the shooting rights in the future.

The reason why I chose this mode is that I chose to use it as an accessory guarantee. It was because at the beginning, the Taiwanese side hoped that Hatsune would use the actual amount of capital as a guarantee - for example, after guaranteeing that after obtaining the filming rights, no less than 20 million yuan would be invested in the filming of this anime.

However, Gu Mojie obviously had other plans. He thought that with the most advanced animation engine technology of this era, there might be a top rendering team in the future.

He was sure that he would be able to shoot the film at a much lower price than his peers estimated, so the agreed investment amount was obviously not in his favor. It's better to shoot a sample film as a benchmark for quality measurement, so that as long as it is not worse than this, it is not a breach of contract.

As for how much money can be saved in the future, it is all Gu Mojie's own business. Nothing to do with anyone else.

……

The signing of "Qin Shi Mingyue" drew a successful end to Gu Mojie's 2005. Looking back, there are no regrets left this year, what should be done. And what can be done, basically done.

During the New Year's Day holiday, others were still on vacation, but Gu Mojie had to make up classes because he was slightly injured a while ago and had been slacking off to recuperate for too long, so he had to make up for the class and consider the company's business direction plan for the new year.

to his height. There is no future for him to go it alone, so he chose to invite Ye Weilun, the company's COO, to Jiangnan to drink tea, and listen to the other party's planning by the way.

The 200 million shares given to Ye Weilun were not given for nothing, and his duty was to put forward a plan for Gu Mojie to make a decision. And Gu Mojie only needs to do multiple-choice questions, no longer need to do calculation questions.

Jiangnan Club, in Gu Mojie's small building, Ye Weilun sat opposite each other on the basis of the case and talked eloquently.

"The '05 year of the Hatsune Group was a year of cooking oil with fire, but I have to say that the stalls were a little big and a little messy. A lot of development is a coincidence, driven away by opportunity, and not in the original planning scope. I think that in 06 we should put more emphasis on the stability and specificity of planning - especially now that the company's financial advantage is much stronger than a year ago, we will have more capital to stick to our own line, and we don't have to be affected by short-term quick money goals to influence our decision-making. ”

Gu Mojie: "Be specific. ”

Ye Weilun: "Before 2005, the core technical competitiveness of Hatsune Network was the deep algorithm. You have used various derivative applications of this algorithm to develop input methods, intelligent song search and subtitle search functions in the player field, key scripts for a new generation of graphical search engines, and optimized the technology of synthesizing audio based on materials, as well as the most important cloud security applications.

However, in 05, we did not completely focus on this advantage and deepen the layout, but spent some thought on doing something else. In 06, we must first think clearly: on the existing basis, with the depth algorithm as the core, what else can be done?

Your previous cloud security cooperation with Google started in '03 and ended at the end of '05, which was yesterday. Most of the browser cloud security and email cloud security that Google wants, you have built a platform for Google on schedule. It's just that this piece is relatively smooth, and it didn't enter the sight of the company's management much later. What's more, those jobs are basically funded by overseas companies from Google and Jeff Hinton.

This year. It's time for us to think about how we can use the capabilities we've built up for Google to make something of our own at home. ”

Gu Mojie basically understood Ye Weilun's train of thought: "Do you want to make a secure browser and our own email service?" ”

"That's right. For the full realization of cloud security, it is not enough to rely on security guards and computer managers, but also to have their own browser kernel and search engine. Or in order not to anger the interests of the giants, in the short term we can make a search engine first. However, we do not vigorously promote it, and only promote our browser security by means of compatibility with the mainstream search engines currently on the market. For example, in the future, as long as some netizens use the Hatsune Security Browser to search Baidu, even though the results are provided by Baidu, we can provide security reminder tags to let users pay attention to websites and email sources with viruses.

The total upfront technical cost of this piece, I have estimated, will not exceed 200 million, and we can try to enter. If it becomes stronger in the future, the scale of users will be larger. It would cost a lot more money to invest more in the hardware resources of the center, but it is estimated that by that day, the company will already be self-sufficient by making enough money from these businesses themselves. ”

Gu Mojie nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Ye Weilun's statement. It is also very important for a company not only to make money in front of it, but also to maintain its unique technical advantages and technology accumulation. The follow-up application of the deep algorithm, even if it doesn't make much money in a few years, Gu Mojie has to spend money to maintain his advantage.

Ye Weilun saw that the boss was easy to speak, and his thoughts became more divergent: "If you do a secure email service." I think there's one industry that can continue to expand, and that's downloading and networked storage services.

Nowadays, one bottleneck is security technology, and the other bottleneck is transmission technology. The textual nature of e-mail is becoming more and more apparent. Attachment sizes are getting bigger and bigger. GMAIL AND QQ MAILBOXES HAVE STARTED TO HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF EMAIL ATTACHMENTS OF MORE THAN 20M. At present, one of the main technical indicators of mailbox snatching users is the speed of uploading and downloading attachments.

At this point, we actually have a cross-technical advantage. Because we have a Hatsune downloader adapted from Thunderbolt. We can make full use of the technical accumulation of Hatsune Download to make the transmission performance of our secure emails in the future more solid.

At the same time, given the increasing demand for networked storage in the future, it is absolutely necessary to further enhance the performance of Hatsune Download itself. Develop more features for it in the new year to ensure absolute dominance in the domestic and even international download software market. ”

Gu Mojie leaned forward slightly and asked, "For example, what are the important function points?" ”

Ye Weilun stretched out three fingers and gestured and said: "First of all, it is resource compatibility, at present, BT resources, netizens are mainly relying on turtle speed download tools such as eMule to download, and at the same time, Emule itself also has its own unique support resources. We should organize our efforts to ensure that users can download torrent resources using 'Hatsune Download' within this year. As long as it is done, I believe that Hatsune Download can instantly kill the remaining competitors who are still struggling in this field.

The second R&D angle is based on the expansion of mail server capacity and mailbox space, and we can do some preliminary technical verification of large-scale cloud storage. Although at present, limited by the cost of network speed and server capacity, this matter cannot be commercialized and profitable in the short term, but we can run ahead. This plan can be called 'cloud disk' or 'cloud space'. ”

Gu Mojie thought about Ye Weilun's construction, although he couldn't see the technical feasibility of these constructions yet, but he was inclined to trust the other party's judgment.

Despite the history of Thunderbolt downloads, it was not until 2007 that the epoch-making new feature of "using Thunderbolt to get off BT" was realized. But who has changed history now? Although Gu Mojie doesn't know anything about history, he has a self-confidence that "future cubs don't know the height of the sky" and is willing to give it a try.

The cost is big, and sometimes you can be capricious. (To be continued.) )
