Chapter 864 iMusic
Dong dong….
After knocking on the door, Lu Hui walked in.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xie, Mr. Ma and the others are here."
"Bring them in." Xu Liang said.
Not long after, Bonima and Zeng Liqing walked in under the leadership of Lu Hui.
"Chairman, Mr. Xie."
The two people said quickly.
Xu Liang smiled and nodded.
Xie Wenze smiled and said: "Mr. Xu has always praised Mr. Ma in front of me for his calmness and honesty, and his extraordinary ability; Mr. Zeng is hearty and generous, and treats people with enthusiasm. When we meet today, both of them are indeed elites.
I am relieved that Hongmeng can cooperate with you. "
"Thank you very much. You and Hongmeng are both seniors in the Internet industry. We will learn more from you and Hongmeng in the future. Zeng Liqing said quickly.
Ponima also nodded in agreement.
The current Penguin is too far away from Hongmeng and cannot be compared at all.
“Everyone, please sit down. ”
Under Xu Liang's greeting, they both sat down.
"Was it a smooth journey here?" Xu Liang asked with a smile.
“With your arrangement, we had a good rest.” Zeng Liqing said quickly.
When socializing outside, he is basically the one who takes the initiative. Bonima rarely speaks unless he encounters a key issue.
“That’s good.”
Xu Liang went straight to the point.
“Hongmeng and Penguin are the two best pan-entertainment companies in China. I happen to have a large number of shares in both companies, which will inevitably cause internal friction.
So I plan to strengthen Strong alliance.
Hongmeng will divest all departments except Hongmeng China Game Company and merge them into Penguin Interactive Entertainment Division.
What do you think about this? ”
< br>
Although he asked this question, Xu Liang's focus was mainly on Bonima.
After all, he is the one who is really in charge within Penguin.
Facing the concerned eyes, Bonima quickly said: "I agree with your strategy. If we can acquire the business of Hongmeng Entertainment Huaxia Company and join forces, it will be beneficial to both Penguin and Hongmeng." A good thing."
Xu Liang nodded.
I felt relieved.
Although he knew that if Bonima could come to the capital, this matter would be half successful, but Xu Liang was really relieved when he heard him nodding in person.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. As long as Bonima compromised, the management of Penguin would truly fall into his hands.
Although he has no intention of actually getting involved in the daily management of Penguin, whether he does or not is another matter entirely.
“I will give you one year to integrate and become familiar with it.
During this year, Penguin cannot relax its overseas development, especially in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. Waiting for you After completing the integration of Hongmeng Entertainment’s Chinese business, I will also integrate Hongmeng Entertainment’s overseas business into Penguin.”
Zeng Liqing and Bonima were shocked. They looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
As competitors before, they knew Hongmeng’s pan-entertainment business very well.
Compared with China, Hongmeng’s overseas pan-entertainment industry is truly huge.
"Mr. Xu, does it include iMusic?"
Ponima asked expectantly.
"Of course."
The affirmative answer made the two of them instantly happy.
The most valuable asset of Hongmeng Entertainment is of course Hongmeng Games, but second only to Hongmeng Games is Hongmeng Music Network (iMusic).
After annexing the five major music websites of Universal Music Network, Hongmeng Music Network (iMusic) instantly surpassed Apple’s ‘iTunes’ and became the world’s largest online music website with Universal Music’s largest music copyright library in the world.
Currently, it has 390 million registered users and 56 million paying users worldwide.
In the five months of 2005, the total revenue was US$336 million, and the total revenue for the year is expected to exceed US$700 million.
And with the rapid growth of global Internet users, as well as the growth of MP3 users and mobile phone users, the revenue of Hongmeng Music Network is also growing rapidly.
If this promising music website can truly integrate with Penguin.
Then Penguin can suddenly become a small giant in the global pan-entertainment field.
At least when it comes to online music, they are undoubtedly the best.
"Don't just look at Hongmeng Music Network. Hongmeng Literature Network (ibook) is also the trump card of Hongmeng's pan-entertainment business.
It is also the world's largest online literature website.
Accumulated over more than five years It has published more than 130,000 works and has 89 million registered users and 17 million paying users worldwide. Although its revenue is not as good as that of Hongmeng Music, it will definitely exceed 180 million US dollars this year.
In addition to making money, Hongmeng Literature Network is truly a success. The value lies in copyright.
Games, movies, comics, animations, etc., almost all pan-entertainment models require literature as the underlying support.
With Hongmeng Literature’s rich and growing copyright library, other pan-entertainment businesses will never lack good content.
With literary support, pan-entertainment is a complete industry chain.
You should support the development of iBook in the future. "Xu Liang warned.
Ponima and Zeng Liqing nodded repeatedly.
The revenue of Hongmeng Literature exceeds the total revenue of Penguin. Such fat meat, take over You must provide it well
"The ones that are relatively underdeveloped are Hongmeng Animation and Hongmeng Film and Television. However, in the past five years, Hongmeng has also laid a certain foundation and produced a series of excellent animation works such as "Bleach", "Gintama", and "Piaomiao Journey".< br>
In terms of film and television dramas, we also have a certain foundation in the East Asian and Southeast Asian markets.
In the future, Penguin can continue to deepen its development in the East Asian and Southeast Asian markets by relying on the foundation laid by Hongmeng.”
Dun. After a moment, a smile swept across their faces and settled on Bonima.
“If you are strong enough in the future, you can also expand into the European and American markets.”
Allow time for both of you to digest.
“In the next two to three years, Penguin’s main tasks are twofold.
First, continue to expand the company’s share of the Internet social market.
Second , while digesting and absorbing the assets of Hongmeng Pan-Entertainment, it has become one of the world-class pan-entertainment industry giants.
QQ, mobile QQ, and QQ space are the three major platforms that are the focus of development, especially QQ space, which must be focused on development.
Portals, virtual telecommunications, and wireless services have limited potential and do not need to allocate too many resources.
The real future of Penguin is pan-entertainment supported by community websites.
However, after absorbing Hongmeng Entertainment’s business, Penguin’s pan-entertainment industry chain is still incomplete and lacks the ‘sports’ business.
After you go back, you should carefully examine the sports channels of Sina, NetEase, and Sohu to develop Penguin's own sports business. ”
At this stage, sports business is in the form of forums and some short videos, and there is no way to live broadcast online.
The internet speed is too slow.
Just make some arrangements in advance. There is no need to get involved in the expensive broadcast rights for the time being.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Mr. Xie will handle the specific negotiations with you."
Bonnima, who had not spoken much, said solemnly.
"Mr. Xu, thank you for your trust in Penguin. We will work hard to integrate Hongmeng Entertainment and live up to your expectations."
Xu Liang smiled and said: "Boni, from 2000 to now, we have known each other quickly Five years.
We know each other well enough in five years.
You are a very good professional manager and entrepreneur.
This is what I am willing to do. The reason why Hongmeng Assets is in your hands.
Work hard and don't betray my trust in you. "
Bonima nodded vigorously, as if a soldier would die for his confidant.
No wonder he is like this.
This time Boss Xu threw out The gift package is too big.
“Okay, let’s talk about it. I won't participate anymore. Let me know the results. ”
After saying that, he patted Ponima on the shoulder, turned around and left the room.
"Mr. Xu, Penguin is now involved in portals, Weibo, blogs and mailboxes. There is a lot of overlap with Sina's business. The two companies can also carry out deep integration." Lu Hui said with a smile .
"You are quite smart. But now is not the time. Let's talk about it later when we have the opportunity."
Xu Liang said with a smile.
Now that Sina has just gone public, it is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant and the horseshoes are broken.
If Penguin is the main body to acquire Sina, the latter will definitely not be willing to do so.
The difficulty of integration increases exponentially.
This is not conducive to the growth of penguins.
It is best to wait until Penguin develops and the decline of the portal business has become a general trend, then it is the best time to promote the merger of the two.
Even the integration of Hongmeng Entertainment resulted in internal conflicts, and the management of Xie Wen and others agreed only after the spin-off of Hongmeng Games.
So, opportunity is important.
After leaving the company, Xu Liang drove to the private yard behind Sixi Building.
This courtyard with three entrances originally belonged to An Kaiyue. After the latter went to Singapore, the place became empty.
But Xu Liang has always arranged for people to clean and maintain it.
As soon as I arrived in the yard, I heard the bustling laughter.
A little guy wearing crotchless pants with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like head, playing with a large Sun Wukong doll in his hand, his eyes lit up and he rushed over with two short legs.
“Dad.”
Xu Liang smiled and knelt down, hugging him gently in his arms.
"Yuanbao, do you miss daddy?"
"Yes."
"Daddy misses you too."
After kissing the little guy's forehead, he hugged him.
His and An Kaiyue's child was born in February last year. He is his third son. He is now one year and four months old, strong and can run.
"Xu Liang is here."
An Jianguo, who was looking after the children, quickly came over to greet him.
After nodding, "Dad, where is Kaiyue?"
"In the backyard, her aunt and her family are here."
I feel relieved.
“I’ll go take a look.”
When we came to the living room in the backyard, six or seven people were sitting or standing, talking and laughing.
An Kaiyue's eyes lit up when she heard the door opening.
"Husband, you are here."
As he said that, he quickly stood up and came to greet him.
When everyone heard the sound and saw Xu Liang coming in, they all stood up in unison.
After nodding towards An Kaiyue, he turned his eyes.
"Mom, aunt, uncle..."
After calling in a circle, his eyes fell on Yang Mi at the back.
This girl is wearing a light blue short-sleeved T-shirt. The slim-fitting design allows the fabric to fit tightly against the skin.
Make the plump car lights particularly dazzling.
The lower body is wearing blue denim shorts. The straight and round legs are shining white and tender, making people have the urge to play with them.
Due to the fact that there were too many people present, Xu Liang just glanced at it briefly and didn't look much further.
After greeting each other, everyone sat down.
"I'm looking for my aunt. Aunt, give me a hug."
The little guy who was sitting in Xu Liang's arms began to feel restless.
