My Age of Investment

  Chapter 686 Dawn

  "In the current decline of traditional old media, many people no longer use newspapers, radio, and television to obtain news and information, listening to music, watching movies, and other entertainment methods have also moved to the Internet.

  The shift in users’ eyes has also led to the shift in the eyes of advertisers, who have given more advertising budgets to Internet companies.

  In the case of Facebook, we can reach 300 million users around the world within a few seconds.

Small and regional advertisers do not need to find a Facebook company to come to talk about cooperation. They only need to log in to the FacebookAds advertising platform to complete the selection of creatives, design the ad copy, select the audience, monitor the delivery effect, and optimize the delivery in time Program……"

Xia Jingxing leaned Erlang's legs, spread his hands, and said with a relaxed expression: "These are advantages that traditional old media do not have! Seeing that the new era has arrived, most old media cannot buy a ticket and face revenue. It is also very normal to feel anxious due to the double decline in profits and profits."

   "Young man, who do you say is anxious?" Lei Shidong stared at Xia Jingxing.

  Xia Jingxing replied without stage fright: "The higher the person stands, the more anxious he feels."

  Lei Shidong's stiff face suddenly smiled, "Okay, but what does this have to do with YouTube? Are you telling me that YouTube uses our videos and solicits many advertisers?"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, “That’s not what it meant! And the oil pipeline has already lost hundreds of millions of dollars, and has not made even one cent through the video business.”

  Lei Shidong smiled and said nothing. He knew what the oil pipe was like, and he knew that the young Chinese man in front of him was telling the truth.

  "Young man, I don't like going around in circles. Just one sentence, what can the tubing bring to Viacom?"

  Lei Shidong looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, waiting for the latter to give his chips.

  "Tubing can cooperate with Viacom to build a copyrighted video zone. Viacom authorizes all content videos under the license to be put on the tubing platform and the tubing will distribute it for you."

  Xia Jingxing and Lei Shidong looked at each other, "In this case, it is equivalent to publishing your "movie" on the Internet, and YouTube will serve as the "theatre line."

Lei Shidong started as a movie theater. He was too familiar with his old business. After thinking a little bit, he replied: "Dalun, this idea sounds like a good idea, but Internet piracy is so widespread. Would anyone be willing to pay for it? ?"

Xia Jingxing shrugged, "This can only depend on everyone working together to safeguard "our common interests." In addition to controlling copyright, you can also upgrade the network viewing technology to make the video content more high-definition and smoother than the pirated version. Attract paying people with high-quality products and services.

  At the same time, YouTube, as the world’s largest video platform, has nearly 300 million users, and even if the paid conversion rate is as low as 1%, there are 3 million people.

  For example, Paramount’s classic films "Forrest Gump" and "Mission Impossible", if you get it to be played once on the tubing, a movie will only cost $1, and each movie can also generate $3 million in revenue.

  Moreover, this is not a one-time income, it is a steady stream of income that is created, and every movie is making money.

  Instead of letting those classic films go to waste in the film library, it is better to get them to be re-screened on the Internet to give play to the residual heat.

  People have nostalgic feelings. Many movies are rebroadcasted twice or three times in movie theaters and are watched by others. They are also shown on the Internet and others will like them. "

  Lei Shidong frowned. He felt that the content of this young man's words was a bit exaggerated, but it was an innovative approach.

  During the conversation between the two, Gates did not interrupt, but just glanced at Xia Jingxing a few times, because Xia Jingxing had never mentioned these words to him, was he warning him?

  He glanced at Lei Shidong with a pensive look again, a little worried in his heart, but don't be moved by this Chinese kid.

  Before coming, he had a phone call with Redstone. What he meant was that he could not reconcile with Tubing, at least before Microsoft acquired Tubing.

   "Darren, this is the benefit of the living tubing you said to Viacom?"

  Xia Jingxing nodded towards Lei Shidong, “Yes, in addition to cooperation in this area, I also plan to let the tubing develop another system.

  When a user uploads a video involving copyright attribution, an option will pop up on the website. The user can choose to upload the video, but the revenue created by the video, such as advertising revenue, needs to be distributed to the copyright owner, otherwise the video cannot be uploaded successfully. "

  Redstone is not sure how much revenue this can create.

  Xia Jingxing saw the old man’s doubts, and explained: “At present, the advertising revenue of YouTube has reached the order of hundreds of millions of dollars.”

   Lei Shidong’s muddy eyes lit up, and Xia Jingxing quickly added: "But we spend half a billion dollars a year."

  Redstone knows this is the truth, and the person responsible for collecting oil pipeline information gave him feedback as a result. A website with serious losses has doubts about the sustainability of its business model.

   Maybe someday Facebook won’t have blood transfusion, it may crash.

  But just such a mosquito leg, Murdoch is greedy, Bill Gates is greedy.

  Even if he no longer understands the Internet, he knows that there must be some business opportunities that he has not seen or understood.

   Lei Shidong asked bluntly: "Daren, the oil pipeline loss is so severe, you still value it so much?"

   "Let's do it first, it may be profitable in the future, who knows?" Xia Jingxing spread out, "If it doesn't work, just shut down and stop operations."

  Lei Shidong didn't believe in Xia Jingxing's remarks. It was not that the latter's acting skills were not enough, but the old man believed that few people in the world would dare to say that they were not interested in money.

   "Daren, I can settle with you!"

  As soon as Lei Shidong's voice fell, Gates' eyes were about to stare out.

  But the old man’s next sentence calmed Gates’ nervousness, “But the premise is that the oil pipeline has to purchase our 1 billion US dollars of copyright, and all audio and frequency copyrights under Viacom will be authorized to you for three years.”

  Xia Jingxing's mind changed quickly, and he knew that this old man would not be attentive to Murdoch.

  Hollywood giants who have been fighting for decades, how can they be good enough to wear a pair of pants.

  As long as the benefits are in place, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

  It's just the old man's request, which is really excessive.

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Mr. Lei Shidong, I have just stated very clearly that the tubing is not a difficult industry for me to give up.

  Why do I keep it when the request exceeds its value.

  Let’s do it, 30 million US dollars, to purchase all the copyrights of Viacom for three years.

  This is our greatest sincerity, and almost emptied all the funds in the company's account. "

  Xia Jingxing put on a look as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Instead of making Lei Shidong angry, the old man laughed instead.

  "Then let me change the terms. How about taking these copyrights into the oil pipeline? I only need one-sixth of the equity."

  The old man did a good deal. He wanted to take away one billion US dollars worth of equity without spending a penny, and only lost so much if the lawsuit was won.

  A good recruit without blood.

   Gates did not expect Redstone to have thoughts about the tubing, which slightly disrupted his plan.

  After all, he still didn’t have enough chips to promise the old man.

  In the world of capital, money is the hard currency. Relationships and friendships all stand aside.

  He laughed twice, attracting the eyes of Xia Jingxing and Lei Shidong.

   "Mr. Lei Shidong, if you give you one-sixth of the equity, the other five will follow suit, then what about our original shareholders of Tubing?"

  It seems that Bill Gates asked for everyone from the perspective of oil pipe shareholders, but in fact it was also asked for himself, thinking Redstone had too much appetite.

  According to this plan, it is difficult to fill the appetites of the other five Hollywood giants after Microsoft acquired the oil pipeline.

  Lei Shidong smiled, "This is your time to consider."

  Bill Gates immediately felt the complexity of the matter. He had originally said that he would compensate Redstone with tens of millions of dollars afterwards.

  Originally, the old man also agreed, but at this moment, I don’t know what went crazy, and suddenly he thought about the equity of the oil pipeline.

  After all, it depends on whose chips are more attractive.

  Thinking of this, Bill Gates complained a little bit about Xia Jingxing, he shouldn’t have said so much to this old man, and now there is even greater trouble waiting for them.

  It's not a big trouble, but for Bill Gates.

  For Xia Jingxing, it is not necessarily a big trouble. Everyone has a ghost and has their own minds. It is not easy to find a breakthrough in this group.

  Now he was on Redstone and saw a little light.
