When Gu Miao made it clear that he would not accept foreign investors to interfere with Wanbao Animation, Mr. Tan retreated.

After all, a twisted melon is not sweet.

He is indeed very optimistic about the future development of Wanbao Animation, but he can't do anything about it. He didn't accept any money for door-to-door delivery, and it was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing.

"Huh! Don't be in a hurry! ”

Seeing that Mr. Tan's expression was extremely disappointed, and when he got up and was about to leave, Gu Miao hurriedly said: "Wanbao animation can't be talked about, let's talk about Wanbao video." ”

"Wanbao Video?!"

"That's right! I want to raise funds for this subsidiary to go public, if Mr. Tan is interested, we can't talk about it......"

Wanbao animation can eat alone.

But Gu Miao didn't have any idea about the business of Wanbao Video, and wished that more investors would settle in and give him more bullets.

Do video sites make money?

The answer is that it is not profitable, and 90% of the mainstream video websites or video streaming software on the market are basically in a state of "loss".

The only one who makes money is the Mango family.

But Mango makes money, and that is also after consolidating the fundamentals in the later stage. In the early stage of development, Mango, like Aiteng You, was in a state of serious loss.

Wanbao Video is no exception.

Since Gu Miao spun off the "online animation on demand" business from Wanbao's official website and established a separate subsidiary of "Wanbao Video", this company has been in a state of "loss".

Fortunately, Wanbao Video is not comparable to the "Aitengyou" three giants in terms of volume, scale, and copyright, and the loss has not reached the level of billions or tens of billions.

But even so......

After a year, Wanbao Video still lost nearly 100 million.

The losses mainly came from three aspects.

Content costs, operational costs, and "user" acquisition costs.

Let's talk about the cost of content first, although on the Wanbao video website, most of the high-quality animations are "Wanbao's own" industry, and there is no need to purchase additional broadcast rights.

However, there are also some third-party animation works, including user-created videos, etc., which are included in the "content cost" of the website.

The second is operating costs.

This aspect is very understandable, such a large website, daily operation will definitely burn a lot of money. After all, servers, staff salaries, etc., at first glance it may not seem much, but it adds up to not a small amount.

Finally, there is the cost of user acquisition......

Commonly known as "traffic" advertising fees!

If a website wants to acquire new users, it has to spare no effort to advertise and attract traffic, if you don't do this, then who knows about your website?

Three costs, three mountains!

Since the establishment of Wanbao Video, there are only two ways to make profits: "advertising" and "membership". Combined, these two revenues can barely wipe out the cost of "user acquisition".

So, this business is a burden.

If you can introduce investors with strong funds and inject a sum of money into Wanbao Video, so that you don't have to burn your own money all the time, then Gu Miao will definitely be happy.

But he was happy, but Tan was not.

Mr. Tan started as an Internet entrepreneur, where does he not understand that "video websites" have the problem of difficulty in monetizing traffic? Investing in Wanbao Video now is nothing more than a big wrong.

At least within ten years......

The investor does not see the hope of "self-financing" at all, and he is not a fool, how can he come to troubled waters.

……

Mr. Tan is not willing to invest.

This made Gu Miao a little disappointed, and felt that she had seen the wrong person. He treats Mr. Tan as a brother, and has a chance to make a fortune and take him with him, but the good brother doesn't know the hearts of good people, which is really chilling.

What a pity!

Originally, I wanted to find an unjust investor for Wanbao Video and reimburse the loss bill, but I didn't know that Mr. Tan was not fooled at all.

How can this be?

Although with the profitability of several companies such as Wanbao Animation, Wanbao Toys, Wanbao Comics, and Wanbao Games, there is no problem in feeding a Wanbao video.

But you can't keep "gnawing the old"!

You are already a mature video site, you should break away from the arms of the parent company, learn to be self-reliant, and find unjust investors on your own.

Don't catch Gu Miao alone!

Although he doesn't care about the loss of one or two hundred million yuan a year, it must be a good thing if there is a reimbursement of unjust kinds.

But here's the problem......

Is there really a kind of injustice willing to enter the market and undertake the huge losses of Wanbao Video?

"Probably so."

Ma Kui, who had just come out of Jiangchuan Satellite TV, heard Mr. Gu's muttering, and couldn't help but say: "I heard Director Wang say that Jiangchuan TV has a plan to build an exclusive streaming media platform. ”

"The name seems to be called Flamingo Video, which focuses on news, people's livelihood and variety TV series, etc."

Oh?

Is there such a thing?

Gu Miao asked in surprise: "Then is this flamingo video online?" ”

"Not yet!"

After shaking his head, Ma Kui introduced: "As far as I know, this thing is still in the PPT stage, and it is still early to be launched." ”

Hey! Here's your chance!

Since Jiangchuan TV has the idea of building an exclusive video website, why not cooperate with Wanbao Video? Or is it just a combination of two?

Gu Miao's eyes lit up.

He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, found Director Wang in the contact list, and told him his thoughts.

"Two into one?"

Director Wang wondered: "Then who has the big head and who has the small head?" We are a state-owned enterprise, and we cannot generalize with private enterprises like yours. ”

"I know what you mean."

"When I say merge the two, I don't mean that the two companies and the two platforms will be completely integrated into one. Rather, it refers to content sharing, platform compatibility, you have me, I have you......"

Gu Miao patiently explained: "In this way, you can pick up a ready-made platform for nothing, or you can prostitute the Wanbao copyright library for nothing." ”

"In the same way, you can also prostitute the copyright of our Jiangchuan TV station for nothing, saving a lot of copyright licensing fees, am I right?"

"Win-win!"

was exposed by Director Wang's thoughts, Gu Miao didn't mind and said: "You prostitute a ready-made platform + massive animation copyright for nothing, and I prostitute your TV series + variety show copyright for nothing, what do you say?" ”

Wang Taichang replied with a string of ellipses.

I have to say that Gu Miao's proposal is very exciting.

After all, sharing content, sharing users, and sharing platforms is definitely a good thing for "Flamingo Video", which is still in the PPT stage.

However, the stakes are high, and Director Wang needs to carefully weigh the pros and cons before he can give a reply.

It didn't take long for him to reply.

"Yes!"

The simple two words surprised Gu Miao. When he thought of Jiangchuan TV's massive variety shows, massive TV series and movie copyrights, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

How much does it have to save?

As for saying that his own animation was also prostituted, Gu Miao couldn't help but ask, are there a lot of Wanbao animation works?

And one more ......

As an official platform, will there really be many "users" after the launch of Flamingo Video? There are no users, there are not many copyrights, and white prostitutes are white prostitution!

Anyway, he just doesn't lose anything.
