Chapter 659 Youku.com
“Mr. Xu, this is the file that was just sent from Hongmeng.”
Xu Liang took it and took a look, took out his mobile phone and dialed it.
The call was answered after a moment of ringing.
“Mr. Xu.”
"Old Sun, Youku is developing well."
Sun Yan said respectfully: "Thanks to Mr. Xu's fame, otherwise we would not have been online for three days and the number of registered users exceeded 5 million."
< br>"The first shot has been fired, what do you think next?"
"Mr. Xu, we have discussed something, please correct it."
"You tell."< br>
"Mr. Xu, I will hold a meeting right away and make a new plan according to your requirements."
Half a year later, Youku has a certain foundation and launched a 'Youku Global Video Competition', where users upload their captured videos to the website After that, all registered users of Youku can like and comment.
"Well, let me report my requirements to Mr. Xie, and by the way, elaborate on the details of the 'Youku Global Video Contest'."
Each user can only like once per day.
“Don’t worry about this yet.
"What we want is not to surpass others, but to be unique. Look at the plan you have on hand. According to what you said, all the videos were prepared by us. Are there any users involved?
Most likes The higher the ranking of your video.
Then earn money through in-game ads.”
Let’s cultivate some users first.
Sun Yan was nervous and sweating like rain. As the president of Youku's global development and directly responsible for China's business, he failed to understand the development intentions of the big boss, which was a big loss for him.
"We feel that celebrity documentary interviews are a hot spot, and with the foundation laid by your interviews, we can make an online series, similar to "Dialogue" and "A Date with Luyu".
Thanks to Xu Liang’s acquisition of Universal Pictures and Universal Music.
“We plan to put some documentaries, advertising videos, song MVs, dance videos, and copyrighted short videos on it. In addition, some film and television clips were also edited.
"Mr. Xu, I will work hard to meet your requirements as soon as possible."
In terms of prizes, the top 10,000 people in the world will receive a cash reward of US$1,000.
The latter also owns the largest number of music copyrights in the world, including of course the copyrights of music MVs.
Top 10 in the world, US$500,000 per person, one trip to Universal Studios in seven days.
Also, you contact the technical department and come up with the real-time ranking system as soon as possible. "
"Stop flattering, I will see the results in half a year. If Youku does not have 30 million global users before the video contest starts, be careful I will fire you. "
"It is true that you cannot make money domestically, but you can certainly make money internationally, especially in Western countries with a good copyright environment. ”
The former owns the copyrights of nearly 6,000 Hollywood movies, more than 1,000 documentaries, and more than 600 TV series.
Otherwise, I might as well make a long video website, why bother? ”
“One program cannot support a website. ”
“Mr. Xu, we have surpassed almost all websites on the market. ”
After giving the instructions, Xu Liang hung up the phone.
Youku is a Chinese video website. What is the foundation of a Chinese video website?
It’s not how many videos we put on it, but how many videos users upload on it.
The top three in the world will receive US$1 million each, a photo signed by the idol, and a chance to have lunch together.
"No, no, no problem, very good. I just think...Mr. Xu, you are really a genius!"
"That's not enough."
Sighed slightly.
There are currently 43,894 videos with 153,000 minutes, allowing users to browse for a long time. ”
Although the strategic development direction of Youku that you led before is wrong, the tactics are still good. First use those previous videos to build Youku’s video library, and then let the group attract traffic to it.
The top 1,000 in the world will receive a cash prize of US$10,000 and an NBA Warriors regular season ticket or a Premier League Manchester United ticket.
"Mr. Xu..." ”
"Your idea is good, but with the domestic copyright environment, you can't make money."
"What's wrong, what's the problem?"
In addition, Hongmeng has been led by Xu Liang in recent years. Various copyrights acquired under.
The top 100 in the world will receive US$100,000 each and a digital camera as a gift.
As soon as Youku was launched globally, it collected nearly 50,000 videos.
Sun Yan's tone was a bit complicated.
Xu Liang said directly.
When running a business, there are still too few people who truly have a strategic vision.
In the entire Hongmeng, there are four and a half people who have been recognized by him over the years.
One is Xie Wen, chief operating officer of the group, one is Yu Jun, president of Bing, one is Li Haizhen, who is about to become the CEO of Hongmeng Network, and the other is Lei Jun, who has been transferred from the position of president of Kingsoft Corporation to president of Kunlun Computer .
The remaining half is Qian Santai, the president of No. 1 store.
By the way, the newly joined Universal Pictures President Ron Meyer also counts as one.
The rest are only relatively good professional managers.
But this is also a normal situation. Top talents are always in the minority.
"Mr. Xu, these are the information of Hongyan's direct subsidiaries that Mr. Xia brought over," Lu Hui said.
After taking it, I briefly turned it over.
The information is divided into three parts.
Representing three companies respectively: Kowloon Tourism, Sanwei Mining Company and Harvest Agriculture Company.
Kowloon Tourism currently has three projects.
The 50 million-yuan Jiulongyu tourist resort has begun operations.
300 million is being invested to develop Songcheng and Prince Heng's Mansion.
Qingfeng Village and Jingtang Ancient Village are also planned to be developed. They are all tourism projects in Yidu, Xu Liang’s hometown.
Three-dimensional Mining Company, although it has the name of mining, its business has actually been divided into two types.
One is mining mining, and the second is the newly invested and constructed potash fertilizer business.
We originally planned to mine potassium mines in Laos, but we basically gave up after going on a field survey.
The traffic is too bad.
It cannot be transported even if it is mined.
If it was just like this, he could still overcome it, but the millions of bombs left over from the Vietnam War completely stopped all his thoughts.
Let’s just make fertilizer honestly.
Finally, there is harvest agriculture.
It is also the company with the largest investment in Hongyan.
It invested 1.41 billion Chinese dollars in cash and 6.765 billion Chinese dollars in debt, integrating domestic soybean processing capacity of 13.29 million tons and refining capacity of 3.25 million tons.
If you include the processing capacity of peanut oil and corn oil.
The overall oil crop processing capacity of Harvest Agriculture exceeded 21 million tons.
There is also an additional 8.46 million tons of feed processing capacity.
Occupying 30% of Huaxia’s soybean processing capacity and 23% of its feed processing capacity, both ranks first in the industry.
Abroad, one soybean processing plant in Thailand and Vietnam has added 560,000 tons of soybean processing capacity to Harvest Agriculture.
In South Korea and Japan, the oil extraction industry has been integrated, and the remaining companies are basically giants.
And they obviously have experience being cheated by the Big Four.
Would rather lose money than sign a high liquidated damages.
In order to reduce his own losses and realize cash quickly, Xu Liang agreed.
When I saw the end, I couldn’t help but frown.
Although it had been expected, the 1.39 million tons of soybean reserves were still too much lost.
In just one or two months, the price of international soybeans has dropped from more than 9,000 yuan/ton to the current 2,302 yuan/ton.
This is equivalent to a loss of 3,700 yuan per ton.
The overall loss exceeded 5 billion Huaxia coins.
Fortunately, he made enough money, otherwise he would have died of physical pain.
After pondering for a moment while holding the information, he called Qiu Mingcheng.
“Mr. Xu.”
"What is the overall reserve capacity of harvest agriculture now?"
"5.9 million tons, but not all soybeans, but also corn, peanuts and other oil crops."
"Too little. This year The company’s reserve capacity has increased to 10 million tons, half of which is used to store soybeans.”
Through this soybean crisis, we can see how important good reserves are to an oil and fat company.
The key to harvest agriculture is not only soybeans, but also oil crops such as corn and peanuts, which are also the bulk of imports from abroad.
"Understood. Mr. Xu, there is something I need you to make up your mind about."
"What?"
"The international soybean price has dropped so fiercely now that it has completely fallen to seven levels last year. There has been an increase from January to now. So some agricultural companies in the southern hemisphere that we worked with last year are contacting us and asking if we still need soybeans.
They can provide cheap soybeans.”
"Of course, but remember to keep pushing down the price. Also, don't do too much at one time. With so many soybeans flooding into the market this year, soybean prices will definitely fall."
After responding, Qiu Mingcheng continued.
"Mr. Xu, the price of soybeans has dropped. After many agricultural companies in the southern hemisphere suffered serious losses, many of them must have gone bankrupt. Therefore, I think we should take the opportunity to send out an acquisition team to establish our own soybean production base in the southern hemisphere."
"Mingcheng, are you thinking long-term?"
"Without your advice, I would not have thought so much."
Xu Liang smiled and asked Dao: "Soybean investment in the Southern Hemisphere should not be limited to one country, but should be diversified as much as possible. Also, when making acquisitions, we should mainly acquire shares of local agricultural companies. We should not directly intervene."
No matter which sovereign country it is, it is impossible for a foreign company to directly own a large area of agricultural land in its own country.
So, it is very important to find a vest.
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Liang continued to deal with today’s work.
I was busy until the afternoon before returning to the villa in Repulse Bay.
An Kaiyue was chatting with her mother when she saw him coming.
After I glared at myself, I left some space for the young couple.
"How are you feeling today?"
"It's good, just a little free."
Since Wang Lingxiang came over, her working hours have been strictly limited.
Except for one and a half hours in the morning and one and a half hours in the afternoon every day, you cannot work at other times.
The career-oriented An Kaiyue is very uncomfortable.
But the old lady couldn’t offend her, so she was very free.
"There is Lao Sun in the company. You are only responsible for strategic decisions. Three hours a day is enough."
"That's all."
An Kaiyue said helplessly.
"By the way, I have good news for you. The Wei family has compromised. They are willing to sell us all the 35.2% of Master Kong's equity they hold, but the asking price is relatively high."
"How much?"
"500 million US dollars."
It is indeed a lot higher, but it is not too exaggerated.
