Chapter 911 907 Alliances

Chapter 911 907. Combine vertically and horizontally

Sometimes...that's just how people are.

If your position is different from your own, you will subconsciously reject it.

This is true for Yang Mi, and so is Yang Ying.

However, for this kind of rejection, children will express their alienation more directly, while adults with complicated minds will hide all their emotions under a mask of peace.

Yang Mi is like this, and Yang Ying is like this.

However, at this time Xu Xin noticed Huang Xiaoming, who was always frowning.

After thinking for a while, he asked:

"What do you think, senior brother?"

Huang Xiaoming came to his senses.

He didn't express any opinions on Yang Mi's words just now, but just asked Xu Xin:

"Junior brother, let's put aside the perspective of film and television practitioners and look at it purely from the perspective of investment... Because what I think is that since we have reached the next stage, we definitely don't have the capital to compete with others, right?"

"That's for sure."

Xu Xin smiled and nodded:

"And, in fact, if you want to promote the market, you definitely need large-scale capital to enter. These people came at the right time... But my concept is that everyone is on two lines. Move forward in an "X" way. One day we will They will intersect, but they will gradually drift apart after intersecting, so this is a phased issue, and we cannot completely deny it... After all, whoever stops everyone from making money is a sinner. "

"Yes, that's what I mean. So what do you think of my prospects in cooperating and investing with them in my current situation?"

"At this stage, the prospects will be very good. Even before the honeymoon period is over, it will be very good... But the difficulty is to predict when the honeymoon period will end and how to get out before that stage."

Huang Xiaoming frowned slightly and fell into thinking again.

But Yang Ying couldn't help but ask:

"Then this honeymoon period... how long does Director Xu think it will be?"

Xu Xin spread his hands:

"It's hard to say. Two or three years? Three or five years? Who knows... Baby, it's actually easy to think about. It's a bit like adding water to Coke. One drop, two drops, three drops... less Sometimes, people are not so sensitive, but as you add more and more water, it will eventually become a cup of water. The market is like this, and the most important thing about investment is vision. When to go in and when to withdraw, it depends on the individual. "

"Then... Director Xu doesn't plan to get involved?"

"To be honest, I have no interest."

"Well……"

Seeing Xu Xin's indifferent expression, Yang Yingxin said that you must not be interested...your family is engaged in real estate.

But on Sister Mi’s side...

She glanced at Yang Mi vaguely.

Didn't dare ask.

Compared to Xu Xin, she is actually more afraid of Sister Mi.

No reason.

do not know why.

However, the more afraid you are, the more dissatisfied you are, and the more dissatisfied you are, the more afraid you are.

Worry about gains and losses.

…

In fact, when it comes to this, everything that needs to be talked about has been laid out.

The original intention of Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying to come today was to find out. If everyone wanted to cooperate with LeTV, what he initially thought was that everyone should get together.

After all, our relationship is closer than others.

But after listening to what Xu Xin said, Huang Xiaoming was sure... No matter whether Mimi would continue to cooperate with LeTV, Xu Xin would not make any move.

As for the cooperation between Mimi and LeTV... from the perspective of investors, the resources of both parties are actually in conflict.

Especially considering that there are mostly female artists.

After all, my girlfriend has become independent. Although they are of the same origin, competition in the future is inevitable. In this case, there is no need to talk about some hurtful feelings.

So, eat and drink.

Talk about people from the past and things from the past.

Chat inside the circle, chat outside the circle.

Finally, at almost 3 o'clock, Huang Xiaoming, who had sobered up a little, and Yang Ying, who was still drunk, were picked up by Orange.

"Senior brother, baby, I won't send you off anymore. Orange, be careful when driving~"

"Haha, I'll drink again next time, let's go..."

"Uh-huh."

At the door, greetings and farewells were made.

After watching Mercedes-Benz leave, Xu Xin, who was also drunk, turned to his wife and said:

"when are we leaving?"

Tomorrow the two of them will go to Hangzhou to attend Ali's party.

But Yang Mi didn't answer.

For things like itineraries, since there are planes, the time can be arranged more freely.

She just looked at the Mercedes-Benz that turned right at the entrance of the alley, and said to her husband:

"Yang Ying is a little unwilling."

"Ha~"

Xu Xin chuckled lightly.

I didn't even ask my wife what she meant by "unwilling".

"She's always been like this."

Shaking his head slightly, he turned around and walked back.

He continued:

"Having ambition is a good thing. But if the ability is not enough to control ambition, then it is a very bad thing. Just wait and see."

Yang Mi was speechless and withdrew her gaze.

yes.

Just go and see.

…

Xu Xin has not been to the city of Hangzhou for a long time.

He has never even been to West Lake...

But...it's just a lake, nothing to look at. It must be the same as that cowardly Big Wild Goose Pagoda...

Of course, this is a joke.

However, this trip to Hangzhou did not leave a good impression on Xu Xin.

Have you met Ma Yun?

See you.

We even had dinner together.

The people sitting at the same table were many so-called bigwigs from all walks of life.

He had no idea how big a bigwig was.

But the reason why he didn't leave a good impression was actually not because of the so-called bigwigs, and no one was doing the things in online novels like "You are of a certain level, why sit at the same table with me"...

That was too much nonsense.

What really made Xu Xin uncomfortable was that before the banquet started, he was smoking in a corner and heard a call from a staff member who was wearing an Ali badge and was responsible for arranging the banquet.

He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on people, and even smoked in a place away from people at the door.

But he just happened to hear someone making a phone call.

The main thing was that this guy was scolding his subordinates on the phone, and his voice was not suppressed. Xu Xin heard his words clearly.

He didn't know what happened.

But what the guy said made him too uncomfortable.

"I don't care how you do it, that's your business. If you can't do this, then what's the value of your existence?"

"Don't ask me everything. Where's your brain? How do I know how to do this? Just do it yourself."

"Why didn't you report this to me earlier? ... You reported it? Why don't I remember... Then why didn't you explain the interests clearly? I tell you, you have to take all the responsibility for this matter!"

"Didn't you think about the risks before you started? If I say I don't care, will you really not care? Is this your job or mine? ... I tell you, if you don't do this well, you will be the 325 next year!"

"Don't set so many restrictions and assumptions for things that haven't happened. You have to let it run first. How do you know it's not good if you don't do it?"

Although Xu Xin didn't know what happened, what this buddy said made him feel like... "Are you still talking like a human?"

And... what is 325?

He even searched online, and after searching on Baidu, a car model of BMW325I appeared.

He was not so naive as to think that Alibaba was generous enough to give a BMW 3 Series directly to employees who did not perform well.

So, this should be a technical term.

Unfortunately, he did not understand it.

But it did not prevent him from discovering some characteristics from this buddy.

Could this not be Alibaba's corporate culture?

Why did he sound so awkward?

At the dinner table, when Xu Xin asked Ma Yun about Alibaba's corporate culture, the other party's confident and insightful truth "I emphasize the spirit of teamwork and sharing. Encourage employees to achieve synergy in cooperation, and promote the culture of sharing knowledge and experience to promote their growth" made Xu Xin feel uncomfortable.

No... Can't we speak in plain language that can be understood?

Why do all the big leaders and the small leaders at the bottom speak like this?

So, Xu Xin was actually very uncomfortable eating this meal.

Finally, the high-end dinner hosted by Alibaba ended, and when he got to the hotel, he told Yang Mi about this matter. After saying that, Yang Mi looked like she was used to it:

"What's so strange about this? It's just workplace culture. The credit goes to the leader, and the blame goes to the subordinate. It's normal."

Xu Xin had indeed never experienced the test of the workplace.

This time, he really learned a lot.

But...

Before going to bed at night, he was still thinking about this matter.

After thinking about it, he came to a ridiculous conclusion that "compared with these Internet companies, people in the film and television industry are too clean."

As for the rest...in fact, there was really nothing to talk about.

Ma Yun's status meant that he couldn't have a heart-to-heart talk with you about a branch.

This dinner was more like an attitude.

Look, our company bosses are here to have dinner with you. Isn't that enough to show that they value you?

And after one night, the next morning, Li Jie personally went to the hotel to find him and his wife.

How much did they talk about?

A lot.

And Xu Xin found that the way these people in Alibaba chat was the same.

The guy yesterday was like this, and so was Li Jie.

All kinds of terms like "empowerment", "conversion rate" and "efficiency increase" are thrown at his face. But in summary, Li Jie actually has two intentions.

First, he wants to invest in Yuntu and become one of the shareholders.

And for this, they are willing to use a very premium price, in units of 100 million to invest.

The specific price depends on how many shares Yuntu is willing to give.

Second, they hope that people from the Northwest circle can join Alibaba's film and television industry map. In the next few years, they will enter the film and television industry from many aspects such as film investment, ticketing, and theaters. In this kind of industrial integration, there is no such thing as the Northwest circle or the Beijing circle. Everyone shares all resources and never cherishes their own things.

And Xu Xin can occupy a strong position in this integration.

To put it bluntly, it means "under one person".

Ali pays money and Xu Xin works hard, just like Hai Tao's famous saying when Wang Sicong entered the e-sports industry:

"Strongly enter the film and television industry."

The film and television industry is going to be popular.

As for Yang Mi... As long as Xu Xin agrees, all the artists of Shuangwei will be guests of Alibaba Future Film and Television Group. Anyone who is willing will have a lot of resources to support them.

It is definitely not a dream for everyone to become a first-line star.

Yang Mi was stunned when she heard this.

After the luncheon hosted by Alibaba Film and Entertainment Department at noon, Yang Mi's first words were:

"They are much more generous than LeTV."

Xu Xin thought, isn't this nonsense?

Ali and Tencent are the two major mountains of the Internet... LeTV wants to surpass... let's work hard for a few more years.

As for Ali's conditions, the couple actually have the same views.

Let's start with the most basic cooperation.

Whether it is the Northwest Circle or the Double Only.

There is no such thing as "keeping oneself out of trouble" in this change.

The end of "being awake in the world" is usually isolation, hiding, and exclusion. And the current Northwest Circle cannot afford the cost of being excluded.

Once excluded, except for the diehards, other fence-sitters may be submerged in this wave.

To put it realistically.

Whether the tide recedes or not, the status of the entertainment industry will always exist.

Joining this wave, then at the worst, it can become a "lower limit". When everyone is playing badly, at least someone is still working diligently to make movies.

But if you don't join, don't even mention the lower limit... you may be dead by then.

Not to mention development.

Maybe the Northwest circle will be even worse than when Xu Xin didn't go there.

After all, there is no place for you to speak up in the upper level. Under the pressure of the market... If others don't touch you, the Beijing circle will scatter your ashes first.

After the Hangzhou trip, the couple went to Shenzhen again.

They contacted the people of Tencent Pan Entertainment.

In fact, their actions are the same as Alibaba.

They have already targeted the film and television market.

However... they have an advantage, or told the couple a piece of news that is not top secret.

That is, they have set their sights on the online novel market.

They are discussing acquisition issues with Shanda and the founders behind many websites.

When Xu Xin heard the news, his reaction was half a beat slower, but Yang Mi instantly reacted to Tencent's intention.

They set their sights on the birthplace of online novel IP.

As a Tun Tun mouse, a big collector who holds the copyrights of more than 50 novels, her sense of smell is naturally needless to say.

But the people of Tencent also know her preferences.

They proposed an exchange of opinions that Yang Mi could hardly refuse.

They know that Yang Mi has many IPs and they are all of excellent quality.

I hope to allow Shuangwei to become one of the shareholders of the group after the acquisition is successful by exchanging shares... As for how many shares, I haven't discussed it yet. I guess it depends on what feedback Xu Xin gets and follow the market.

But at least this hole has been opened.

Of course, this exchange still has a condition.

They also have to invest in Shuangwei.

It is equivalent to cross-holding, exchanging Yang Mi's IP and Shuangwei's shares to obtain their shareholder seats after the establishment of a long-chain IP industry chain group.

Xu Xin has no interest.

At this stage, as long as he wants to make a movie. As long as the so-called "Director Xu is eyeing XX work" is released, these publishing houses will take the initiative to kneel at the door of the office.

He doesn't need to consider the price.

But Yang Mi is very interested.

As a high-V who has been a high-profile person for many years, a Jinjiang local tycoon, and an ultimate hoarder, reading novels, hoarding copyrights, and acting in the future or watching others make their favorite works is a very happy thing.

From this perspective, Ali, who only knows how to spend money, is not as good as Tencent.

However...

"I am worried that if I accept this condition, won't it mean that Shuangwei will become a member of the Penguin Group? Then Alibaba, LeTV..."

This is her worry.

The solution given by Xu Xin is also very simple:

"Contact Alibaba and accept investment in Shuangwei, can't it be done?"

"...Are you crazy!?"

For the point raised by her husband, Yang Mi's face was left with a speechless expression like "You are really a little genius".

Although she is not in the investment circle, she also knows one thing...that is, a company can only accept one of the three major companies BAT.

"Don't even mention BAT. If these two companies invest in Shuangwei at the same time, the company won't develop yet, so they will definitely have internal turmoil."

"Only invest, not manage. If you agree, we can discuss cooperation. If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. Let's talk. What are you afraid of?"

"Why do you say it so easily?"

"Because this matter is so easy. Do you lack money? Do you lack business resources? We are in the film and television industry, and popularity and commercial brand value are above all else. And what does commercial value and popularity rely on? Works. At least for now, it's still works. You have to put your perspective on it. They are the ones who come to you to beg you, not us who have to rely on them for help. Why can't we be relaxed? I even think that their targeting of your IP is just an excuse. The most fundamental purpose is to hope to invest in Shuangwei."

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Park Hyatt Hotel, he looked at the Nanshan Pizza Hut in the distance and said with a smile.

"These people are very ambitious... How can they be satisfied with the IP copyrights of dozens of novels? In the final analysis, it is a situation of alliances."

After saying that, he was suddenly stunned...

"By the way, when did you get so many copyrights?... How much money have you spent in the past few years?"

"Well... I don't know."

Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

"It is estimated to be tens of millions..."

"..."

Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

"My monthly salary is just over 8,000..."

Hearing her husband's complaints, the young wife, who was indeed tired after a day of scheming with others, smiled complacently.

In the reflection of the French window, she raised her legs and stepped on the small platform on the window sill.

"Come on, be sensible, kiss my sister's feet first, and you will be my sister's from now on~50,000 a month, I will support you~"

Xu Xin was stunned.

"Is there such a good thing?... Let me make it clear first, I have no interest in whether my sister's feet are beautiful or fragrant... The main thing is that I am short of money..."

"Hahahaha, you are so perverted!... Oh! What are you doing!"

The young woman who was suddenly carried up looked shy.

But Xu Xin's response was very simple:

"Yeah!"

Auspicious day, beautiful scenery in season.

How can I not respond to my sister's request?

...

After returning from Shenzhen, the couple stayed in Yanjing for less than a day.

They arrived home at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, slept for a night, and went straight to Xi'an the next day.

Today is the 29th.

Seeing that the Little New Year is approaching, state-owned enterprises are different from private enterprises, and the holiday time is still relatively accurate.

Private enterprises may not have a holiday on New Year's Eve, but which state-owned enterprise is so crazy?

Before the New Year, there will be an annual meeting, bonuses will be distributed, and then everyone will go home for the New Year!

If you don't hurry home for the New Year, will there be a traffic jam on New Year's Eve to make dumplings?

Isn't this nonsense?

So, Xiying Studio doesn't care about you, the annual meeting will be held, and the holiday will be given. Everyone will receive the rice, flour, grain, oil and year-end bonus, and hurry home.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the couple arrived at Qujiang Garden in a business car.

In fact, there were two cars when they came to pick them up.

The first car was filled with people and luggage, and the second car was filled with gifts.

After leaving the airport and entering the city, the two sides parted ways.

Su Meng and Sun Ting went to give gifts. Although Director Xu's status was high enough, Yang Mi was an "outsider".

"Come" to Xi'an, bring some Yanjing local specialties to colleagues, the things are not expensive, but everyone's face is good.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Whenever she goes home during the holidays, she takes out a cake of tea and tells her relatives and elders, “This is the tea sent by Director Xu and Mimi, let’s try it.” When they hear this, they think, “Look who is younger than whom, Director Xu gives him gifts, and even calls Yang Mi “Mimi”, he is really successful.”

Doesn’t this status show off all at once?

However, this gift must not be given in the name of her husband, otherwise it will be a loss of face.

It is just right to send Director Xu’s care for her face.

After Xu Xin put the luggage at home, the two of them went straight to the factory.

Today is the last day of work. The annual meeting is in the afternoon. After the annual meeting, there will be a dinner party in the evening, and after the dinner, they will have a holiday.

After arriving at the factory, Xu Xin went straight to Qi Lei.

There is no need to mention the greetings. After sitting down, pouring tea and lighting cigarettes, Xu Xin said directly:

“Brother Qi, let me tell you about what happened in the past few days.”

Then after talking about the several banquets he attended, Qi Lei frowned subconsciously.

It's not that he's upset, but pure thinking.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"You don't want to get involved?"

"No."

Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"But the Internet is entering the market is a trend, and it's inevitable. What does the factory think?"

"Boss Tian asked me to set up an office next year to specifically handle this matter. It means that we can cooperate, but we still have to find an opportunity. We have production, distribution, and we are not short of money. It is a complete industrial chain. In fact, they don't have many opportunities to cooperate with us on movies. Yuntu can't let them in either, they are not qualified. Unless the people of China Film take the lead, then we can still talk. So, what Boss Tian and I are studying is actually the combination of industries related to TV series."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's eyes lit up:

"In terms of TV series, the factory will take action?"

Although the Western Film Studio still holds a Western Film Channel. But to be honest, the output of TV series in recent years is not much.

The main thing involved here is that there is no particularly mature team to check.

The pressure on the factory has always come from the Beijing circle in recent years. It is not easy to be on the film industry... not to say that we are equally good, but at least we can be 40% and 60% good. However, in terms of TV series, we are still a little weak.

There is still a big difference between TV series and movies.

Although we have joined forces with Shaanxi TV... but in terms of team quality, ten Shaanxi TV stations combined may not be as strong as one Hunan TV station.

They have accumulated a little bit through 10 or 20 years of foundation.

Therefore, the few TV series produced by the factory and Shaanxi TV in the past two years... are all very miserable. They are the kind that cannot be sold outside Shaanxi.

There is no real high-quality content.

And now...

Although Xu Xin did not say anything.

But Yang Mi felt that she saw an opportunity.

A very good opportunity!
