Chapter 30: FM365's dilemma

Remember [Martial Arts β™‚ Γ· in a second? Textβ˜†η½‘.], update fast, no pop-ups, free to read!

Galaxy Pictures is still preparing, it is much more low-key, Li Xueer is responsible for the follow-up work, movies have never been a high-yield industry, and the income mainly depends on the box office.

Hollywood is better, and can make a lot of profits from movie peripheral products, but the domestic intellectual property protection is weak, and the film is a relatively petty bourgeois industry, there are very few movies that can make money in China, so it would be good not to lose money.

But film is recognized as the 7th art, and its influence is much greater than that of TV dramas, and it would definitely be a regressive performance to let a famous movie actor go back and make TV series.

has always relied on TV dramas to become famous, and then moved to the big screen to challenge the actor and actress, who has ever heard of the actor and actress going to the TV circle to see the emperor? And there is no such saying in China, Hong Kong Island TVB is called so.

However, there is no rush for a while, "The First Close Contact" must be made into a movie, but the conditions are not suitable now, and when the team matures, we will make the TV series to warm up first, and open up the popularity to promote the movie version.

Anyway, it is related to the Internet theme, and the funds are not worried. Chen Bo can use the cash flow of Pangu Group to sponsor at any time, and he may not need to use Galaxy's own funds, which can be regarded as a fake public benefit.

It is almost the end of March in Yanjing is gradually warming up, although the temperature difference between morning and evening is still a little large, the body surface feels quite comfortable, and it is definitely suitable for going to Qingqing.

But the beautiful music network is now busy as a dog, and it has already turned on the overtime mode, so how can there be time to play.

The "Atomic Ants" kids are even less interested, preferring to eat something good and have a good drink than waste time in the suburbs.

Chen Bo, who originally wanted to give them some benefits, suddenly felt bored, and now it seems that the whole world has become a busy person, and he is the only one left who is idle, and even Gao Yuanyuan was seconded by Guan Xin.

Well, there's no one to talk to. I still read books, drink tea, and experience the life of a boss.

But God always doesn't want people's wishes, Chen Bo is not busy when he wants to be busy, but when he wants to be free, there are always people who don't let him be idle.

This time, he was asked by the legendary boss in the IT industry, Liu Chuanzhi, chairman of the board of directors of Lenovo Group.

Lao Liu smiled very gently, he didn't look old as he imagined, and now he is only in his fifties, which is the golden age of the business world, and there is also Yang Yuanqing, CEO of the group.

Chen Bo didn't know what was going on with him, the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, even if he had nothing to do, he could learn a lot of things by chatting with the two seniors, he didn't have that opportunity before, and now he got to know a group of young people in the entrepreneurial period, and Brother Xiao Ma is not as deep as his Taoism.

Wang Gongquan and Xiong Xiaoge are all empty gloves and white wolf capital operations, and their experience in solving various problems encountered in the development of enterprises is definitely inferior.

In more than ten years, with a capital of 200,000 yuan, a team of several people has crossed the sea of corpses and blood in the business world, and now it has achieved the first place in the country and the tenth place in the world, proving that mainland enterprises can also make achievements in the field of science and technology.

There are few companies in China that can make Chen Bo feel admired, and Haier, Lenovo, and Huawei are among the best.

For the spirit of not admitting defeat, Haier naturally needless to say, took the lead in opening up the international market, and the perfect after-sales service system has been expanded to the village, well-known but very low-key.

Huawei is even better, if it were not for its appearance, the development speed of the global communications industry would definitely be much slower, it is he who broke this monopoly situation, so that the price of communication equipment has plummeted, even African people can build communication equipment.

And 70% of the profits come from overseas. No financing, no listing, the company's basic business is employee stock ownership. Although they are in Pengcheng, they don't have much to do with each other, and it's a pity that they don't have much opportunity to sit down and chat.

Although none of their founders sat in the position of the richest man, they are the spiritual symbol of this era, which has transcended the meaning of wealth.

"I asked you to come here to hear your views on the current Internet, is there really no soil for Internet development in China?"

When Lao Liu said this, he gave Chen Bo a hint, could it be that there was a problem with Excellence.com or FM365?

Excellence.com is an online bookstore made by Kingsoft, and Lenovo holds a stake in Kingsoft, which is also equivalent to an indirect shareholding in Excellence.

FM365 is Lenovo's web portal, which is completely built with its own funds. Lenovo is to make personal computers, this question is really a bit amateurish, look at your annual increase in shipments, netizens are also increasing, why do you want to say that there is no soil for network development in China?

"Time and opportunity, I think these two conditions are indispensable." Chen Bo thought about it and said, "The Internet does need to expand rapidly, need to seize traffic, need to enrich content, constantly innovate and update products, and increase market share." ”

"But it is also subject to the base of netizens and consumption habits. For example, e-commerce, 8848 is very popular now, and there is enough money invested. But it is very difficult to make a profit, the number of netizens is small, and the online payment and logistics system cannot support this system now, and if e-commerce wants to make a profit, it will take at least another three or four years to wait. If 8848 can't wait, it may not be able to survive this year. ”

How popular is 8848 now? It is just that the first time that e-commerce comes to mind is him, just like Taobao's later status. eBay can't be ranked, and excellence can't be ranked, so Ali has to stand even further back.

But the Equestrian Games tells stories, and it has a strong sense of presence in the small rivers and lakes of the Internet.

"And what do you think of the portal?" Yang Yuanqing said again.

Your uncle! Chen Bo said in his heart, knowing that Tengxun is doing a portal network, you still ask me this, it's not appropriate for me to say too much, and it won't work if you don't say it.

"Portal, it's difficult to make short-term profits, so you need opportunities." Chen Bo can only deliberately vague the answer, opportunities are inherently unattainable, otherwise why not call it an opportunity but an opportunity?

"You should also know that FM365 is made by Lenovo, right?" Lao Liu smiled, noncommittal to Chen Bo's answer.

"I'm good at verticals and subdivisions, and I'm not familiar with portals. Xilang, Suhu, and WangE are all industry leaders, and FM365 has done well in the vertical field, and the future can be expected. ”

Chen Bo This is definitely a perfunctory act of sycophancy, there are three major portals with those high tops, and there is nothing to do with me. Sky Network and Listening Music Network are the main online entertainment, and they really don't match the portal.

"Hehe, you, you're young, you're just too cautious. It's not as bold as an old man like me, don't use the three major portals as a cover! I didn't know that the Tencent network in your hand was above FM365. ”

Lao Liu was naturally dissatisfied with this answer, so he smiled and broke him.

"Tengxun.com is mainly due to Ma Teng, I basically didn't do anything, I just integrated the resources. What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd today? Don't scare me, boy! ”

Chen Bo begged for a coincidence, you are a big man, you can't bully me as a junior.

"What do you think if you were to be in charge of FM365?" Although Lao Liu said this with a smile, it didn't seem to be a joke.

"I can't afford that big responsibility, and my ability is really limited. But what's the problem now? I can advise on it! ”

Scared, FM365Although it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lenovo, it is really not fun, Chen Bo will not be stupid enough to fall into the abyss of the portal network, Tengxun.com is supported by QQ, its own baby, and there is no shortage of traffic by nature, you only need to work hard slowly in operation.

What does FM365 rely on? That's all real money, what about the money after smashing? At the same time, it has to face the squeeze of other portals.

"I'll tell you." Yang Yuanqing took over and said, he is currently the CEO of FM365, so he is naturally more familiar with it, and he will tell the story after clearing his throat.

At the beginning of 2000, when FM365 was not yet grandly launched, Lenovo was thinking about one thing: how to make the most leading Internet business. At that time, there were not many Internet leaders in the world, one of which was Microsoft's MSN, and the other was the American AOL Group. Yahoo, on the other hand, is not considered because of its alliance with Founder.

In the process of starting negotiations with the two companies, AOL showed the status of the real boss: the Time Warner model was considered the best model at the time, so it also strengthened Lenovo's determination to form an alliance with AOL.

The negotiation between Lenovo and AOL is hard, and this hardship comes from the difference in the way both sides do things, think ways, and so on. While negotiating, FM365 was grandly launched and entered the top five of China's gateways at the beginning of the year.

Needless to say, the top four are naturally Speed Fox, Net E, and Tengxun followed by a West Wave.

At the same time as FM365, there is another piece of business, that is, Lenovo's ISP business, Lenovo's investment in this area is no less than FM365 website.

Lenovo's ISP business is a comprehensive cooperation with Huaxia Telecom to achieve access and roaming of 163 accounts across the country.

Even Telecom itself didn't do it, and Lenovo did. Preset a year of free Internet access in your Lenovo computer, and after surfing the Internet, go to the FM365 website. After the one-year free Internet access expired, Lenovo provided renewal, thus starting the ISP business. At the same time, FM365 is used as a horizontal portal, and all channels are made into vertical portals, which constitutes the blueprint of Lenovo's Internet business. Three points and one line: Internet service + horizontal portal + vertical portal.

Such a "three-point-one-line" is a model that provides value-added content in the form of "Internet access".

The original association wanted to be a portal, and "aspired" to be a portal, of course, a lot of effort was put into advertising and content for this purpose. After that, the Internet winter became even worse.

Now Lenovo feels the difficulty of being a portal, and begins to try all kinds of transformations, such as e-commerce, youth services, and online product services, but there is still no improvement, and the AOL negotiations have not made much progress.

Yang Yuanqing is a veteran of Lenovo and is handy in controlling the hardware market, but for the Internet industry, he can only be regarded as a novice.

FM365 was born out of Lenovo's internal software department, and then it was operated independently, and the name was "Lenovo FM 365" at the beginning.

And the slogan shouted last year was to enter the top three of the portal within a year, but it cost 100 million investment, and the raw land was still spinning around, but let the little penguin overtake the car.

In this endless whirlpool predicament, Chen Bo's appearance attracted their attention, so there was today's temptation.
