Super Tycoon

Although Sanders felt that Zhang Yang had meddled too much in the company's management, Jason Huang also agreed, so he didn't say anything more. Reason told him that this is really good for the company's development.

For all his ego, Sanders is not so egotistical that he thinks he is right about everything. He is no longer young, and now he is no longer the CEO of the company, so he should enjoy life.

When Sanders left, Zhang Yang also left. In turn, the company will allocate funds to expand the R\u0026D center in China. Not only the APU needs to be developed there, but other core technologies can also be developed in China.

Zhang Yang will slowly transfer some of the company's core technologies to China to avoid chip shortages in China in the future.

Back at the hotel, I heard a knock on the door soon. The bodyguard took a look, opened the door, and Edson, the president of the North American subsidiary, walked in.

President, do you have any business for me?

Edson was called over, still a little puzzled. The company's recent operating conditions are good. It was affected last year and its sales fell. Now it has recovered, and it still suppresses the other three major game machine manufacturers.

The company's revenue in the second half of the year will not decline, but will increase compared with the same period last year, mainly due to new games and new products.

How is the sales of MP4 in the market now? Has everyone started to accept this product?

It has already begun to accept, and many people bought it, but there are also many people who complain that it is not convenient enough. We have collected feedback from users, mainly saying that the video format conversion is too slow, the screen is small, and there are too few video resources.

There are other problems, but not many, such as high price, small memory, low battery power, etc. I have communicated with Mr. Duan, and he said that they will be resolved soon.

The company can always launch some new products and lead the trend. Although the game industry is still the company's main revenue, the revenue of other products is growing faster and faster.

Zhang Yang knocked on the table, the conversion of the food format was slow, this can be solved by a software, Li Junsheng is already doing it, and it is said that the progress is not bad.

Programs compatible with other formats are currently under development, and the progress is average, and it is expected to be completed next year.

But the video content is small, this is not easy to solve.

He did purchase the copyrights of some movies from some film and television companies, and the copyrights of many MVs from music companies, but many of the contents were too large.

Ordinary people do not have professional software,

I don't know how to capture the video at all. Moreover, MP4 has relatively few functions at this time. If you exit after pausing, the next time you enter, it will start again and cannot be recorded.

Recorded issues can also be resolved, like adding a bookmark. But the most fundamental reason is that the number of videos is insufficient.

He suddenly thought of some companies in his previous life, which emerged in the past few years and developed very rapidly. The main content is video sharing!

Edson, do you usually like to watch movies or TV shows?

Edson froze for a moment, why did the president ask this question? Is this work related? Or is it that the president wants to invest in a film and television company?

But now film and television companies are going downhill, and many companies' revenues are declining, and they are even losing money.

It's okay. I don't go to the cinema very much. I buy some discs and watch movies at home. I occasionally watch TV shows with my wife.

Look at these, pick actors?

I don't choose. My wife took me to watch many of them. I don't know those actors at all. However, I am interested in buying discs and watching them at home.

What about some short videos? It's the kind that lasts five to ten minutes, do you want to watch it?

Edson's expression instantly became exciting: President, do you also like to watch this? I liked it very much when I was young, but now I watch it less, after all, time is not forgiving.

Zhang Yang: ...

Co-authoring a short video is that kind in your eyes?

I'm talking about serious videos! For example, small videos that some people shoot casually, do you think it will be interesting to watch? Now that handheld DVs have developed well, many people like to shoot some of these videos, but they can only watch them by themselves. .”

Have you seen the Blair Witch? It was very popular in the past two years. Now many people imitate them and shoot videos with handheld DVs, but there is no distribution channel at all.

We're not going to be a film and television company, and we won't let their programs go to theaters or release discs. We just let them share their joy and pain with others for free.

Let's put it this way, we are building a video sharing platform so that everyone can upload videos and provide them to others to watch. It includes some interesting small videos, which can be interesting things in life, some adventure shots, or It can be some sweet little stories.

Edson frowned: President, but how can we make money like this?

The sharing you mentioned means that everyone can watch it for free, right? So how do you guarantee the interests of those who upload the video? How do you guarantee our interests? Selling advertisements?

Zhang Yang was very satisfied with Edson's question, which showed that Edson had considered the risk.

When doing business, the first thing to consider is risks, not just benefits.

That's right, we share it with everyone for free. Anyone who logs on to the website can click to watch it for free, and we don't charge for it.

In the beginning, I couldn't receive any advertisements, but in the later period, when there are more users, we can increase revenue through advertisements. As for the interests of the sharers, when they upload the video, it is indicated that the copyright still belongs to them. We Just providing a platform, no fees, no obligation to protect, no obligation to give them money.”

Edson still didn't understand: But such a website, will anyone read it?

Edson, have you forgotten MP4? This product will be upgraded soon, and more and more people will buy it. We not only provide online viewing, but also video download and viewing.

Edson suddenly realized: President, you mean, this can be used to increase our video resource library? In this case, getting one will boost our MP4 sales, and it looks good, but our investment will not Low.

Before they were an MP3 download website, they had been operating at a loss. It was not until the number of users increased and they signed a sharing agreement with the music company that they stopped losing money.

Now this video website, I don't know how much it will lose, if it is too much, it is not worthwhile. Especially everyone can download it, not just the users who bought the MP4 of Zhiduoxing.

Of course. This investment will definitely be relatively high. My plan is to invest 10 million US dollars first to build the framework. Then use advertisements to attract traffic and let everyone share their favorite videos.

As for the way to make money in the future, I already have a plan. How about you help me with this matter?
