Chapter 548: Acquisition of a video company
Xia Xing in the film industry has made a qualitative breakthrough.
And Xingying Group's series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was also filmed.
This series brings together Yang Weiwei, Su Qi and other well-known domestic movie stars, and it is a TV work focused on created by Xia Xing.
Xia Xing also wants to make a new breakthrough in the field of TV dramas with this work.
However, the film ran into trouble during negotiations.
Xia Xing watched the sample film of this series very well, but when negotiating with the TV station, the TV station maliciously lowered the price.
What is said that the TV industry is in a recession now, and it is only three million per episode.
Of course Xia Xing will not agree, this TV series was a big hit in his previous life, and Xia Xing knows the value of this series.
Xiao Fei'er and Xia Xing reported: "Chairman, because this is our Xingying's first series, they want to lower the price, what do you see." ”
Xia Xing took a deep breath, since this is the case, then we won't talk about it, let's broadcast it ourselves.
"Broadcast it yourself?" Xiao Fei'er was stunned.
Xia Xing nodded: "Yes, we broadcast it ourselves." ”
At present, online video is still in the early stage of development, and many online video companies have just sprouted and have not yet found a real path.
But Xia Xing has memories of his past life, and he is more worthy than others of how to make online video exert the most extreme energy.
In the previous life, many online video companies have experienced this kind of pain, such as Storm Audio, Youku, Tudou, many of these video companies have experienced a period of labor pain, and later ushered in the Internet era, so they developed, and if they couldn't hold on, they went out of business directly.
In this parallel world, there are also many Internet companies, but they are all confused and have not yet found a way to make money.
Many companies are barely holding on, or even on the verge of bankruptcy.
Xia Xing looked at the information of some video companies, and he directly deleted some small companies.
He didn't have time to acquire those small websites, so Xia Xing directly set his sights on the larger video websites.
In this world, there are three relatively large video websites, Blizzard Video, Weixin Video and Tomato Video.
The current video website is still stuck in playing some short videos, and has not developed to the era of broadcasting online dramas or popular dramas, so this is Xia Xing's opportunity.
In fact, Xia Xing has long wanted to get involved in this area, after all, in Xia Xing's era, online video has even replaced TV.
People use video to chase dramas and even watch some live variety shows, but in this world, online video has not yet developed to this point, so this is Xia Xing's advantage.
Xia Xingshao bought an online video and broadcast his own TV series, let those TV stations die.
On Weibo, several protagonists of "Wolf Warrior 2" are posting on Weibo to celebrate the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeding one billion.
But now Xia Xing doesn't have time to pay attention to Weibo, he is too busy.
In the conference room of Zhejiang Tomato Media Co., Ltd., Xia Xing, Xiao Feier and a lawyer sat on the left side of the table, while they were Ma Guobin, chairman of Tomato Media, and Ma Lili, president of Tomato Media.
This is a takeover negotiation.
The online video website that Xia Xing wants to acquire is the Tomato Video developed by Tomato Media!
Tomato Media is an old video company in online video, and it used to be brilliant, but with the bamboo shoots of online video companies, they have also been going downhill, and now it can be said that they are on the verge of bankruptcy.
And Xia Xing's purpose is to buy this video site.
Ma Guobin, the chairman of Tomato Media, is in his fifties, a senior engineer in a Chinese company in his early years, and founded Tomato Media in the tide of reform.
In fact, video websites are just a subsidiary industry for Ma Guobin, and with the trough of online media, his focus has shifted to the real estate field.
And Ma Lili, the president of Tomato Media, is actually the daughter of Ma Guobin, Chinese New Year's Eve, although Ma Lili graduated from the famous business college in country M, but when she returned to China, Tomato Video had already gone downhill, and her performance continued to decline, and even there was a deficit.
Although Ma Lili also used a lot of means, she still couldn't stop the decline of Tomato Media.
In fact, for Ma Guobin, the tomato video is even a hot potato, and he has long wanted to make a move.
Before Xia Xing, Ma Guobin had already contacted many buyers, but the price given by the other party was too low, so he did not negotiate.
After all, Ma Guobin of Tomato Media has invested a lot of his energy, so he also wants to sell it at a good price.
Ma Lili's proposal is to sell 40% of the equity, and she still holds 60%.
After all, Ma Lili came back from studying in the West, so he knows the potential of online video, and she doesn't want to give up yet.
But this is not what Xia Xing wants, what he wants is all the equity, and he wants to control the entire video company.
The two sides talked for more than an hour without reaching a conclusion.
"Mr. Ma, in fact, there is a deficit in the operation of Tomato Video now, I believe that you also sincerely want to sell, and I also sincerely want to buy, you should know that the strength of Tomato Media is different from Blizzard Video and Weixin Video, they all have hundreds of billions of capital behind them to maintain, and they burn money, you can't afford to burn, if you don't sell now, continue to drag on, the market value will definitely drop to a lower level, and even go bankrupt in the end and it's worthless. ”
"Mr. Xia, I admit that Tomato Video has indeed encountered some bottlenecks now, but the situation is not as bad as you said. Ma Guobin still refuses to budge.
"Yes? Now the Internet era is the era of burning money, as far as I know, the Tomato Group also invests in real estate, and recently two projects have been developed at the same time, I want to know if you still have the money to maintain the operation of Tomato Video? Now Tomato Video has a deficit, and these openings are getting bigger and bigger, I want to know how you can block it. ”
Listening to Xia Xing's words, Ma Guobin's face also became a little ugly.
He never dreamed that Xia Xing's homework would be so sufficient.
However, Ma Guobin has been in the mall for decades after all, he took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Xia, although Tomato Video is not good now, the future potential is still huge, and I will not let it go bankrupt easily, as long as the time is ripe, I will still be a pillar for Tomato Video." ”
Xia Xing sneered when he heard this.
Ma Guobin has long had no hope for Tomato Video, and real estate is still using money, so what kind of capital injection does he have.
The reason why he said this was just to give his company a little more weight.
There are many problems in the current tomato video, lack of excellent technical talents, lack of cash, lack of vitality, and if you want to save the tomato video, you can't do it without a billion.
The only advantage of Tomato Video is that it has hundreds of millions of installed bases, but there are installed bases but no high-quality videos, which leads to the fact that although the video software is installed on computers and mobile phones, no one watches and uses it, which is the biggest problem of Tomato.
