"BOSS, aren't you very optimistic that we are going to continue to increase our stake in YouTube? Why did we suddenly reduce our holdings again?"

"I understand the situation on the YouTube side, if the development is good, it is estimated that the second round of financing will start in the second half of the year, and then it will be listed.

As the website that is currently likely to become the largest video download and upload in the United States and even the world. A major shareholder of Huaxia will only add a lot of trouble, and will not help much, even if we are willing to pay. Yang Dongxu shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

If it's just financing, that's fine, but if it's going public next. So as an emerging Internet company, when the market share came to the largest in the world, it was no wonder that the US government's urine did not jump out to find fault.

As long as he is still the majority shareholder of YouTube, then even if there is nothing to do, he will give you something to do. So after a simple conversion, Yang Dongxu found that spending money to increase his holdings now is far less profitable than waiting for the YouTube to go public after reducing his holdings. In addition, the Kennedy family needs to be brought in, so for the time being, let's change the left hand to the right hand.

"Damn politicians, no, those damn conglomerates. Dom couldn't help but scold.

As the CEO of the largest music website in the United States and a very credible online music billboard. Because his big boss is a Chinese, Dom doesn't know how much unequal treatment he has experienced, and it wasn't until the past two years that the website has a certain ability to press and public opinion, and all aspects have been quieter.

A few years ago, those people from the Commerce Bureau, the Tax Bureau, and some bank loan reviews or something, those government workers almost moved their work locations to Yiting Technology Company, and he was annoyed by all kinds of inspections every day.

"So be it this time, raise money to dilute our shares, try to make sure that YouTube can be listed, and then we can make money back from the stock market. And we have a lot of shares, even after two rounds of dilution.

So maybe before the listing, in order to be able to go public, we have to sell a wave of shares in advance. At that time, the shareholders who came in with financing were offered high prices.

If they are not willing to pay a high price to buy the shares in our hands, let them solve the government's prejudice against Huaxia shareholders and go public smoothly. ”

"That's right, boss, that's it. If those people don't want to, we will drag it out and not go public, anyway, we invested $300,000 at the beginning, and it doesn't matter if we lose. Dom instantly rejoiced.

The inability to increase his holdings in this financing did make him very unhappy, but before he went public, he thought that those shareholders who had made a lot of money must be even more unhappy than himself, and he instantly balanced his heart a lot.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, you keep an eye on it, I'll leave beforehand, and you'll have to take care of me over there. Yang Dongxu admonished.

"Don't worry, boss, even if something happens to me, it won't be okay in the card. Dom patted his chest and reassured.

Yang Dongxu nodded, left Yitingtech, and then met Jos at the Hilton Hotel.

"How's it going over there?"

"I've started to screen movie scripts, and the director has also looked for a few. Do you want to check it? After all, my old profession is still a record, although I have been managing Haina investment for many years.

But that's basically your choice, I just have to watch the money and manage the account review. Now to make a movie of your own, there are too many things to do, from screening the script to finding actors and directors, to the filming, promotion, and release of the film. Jos said helplessly.

It's a step that Heiner has to take to shoot her own blockbuster movie, otherwise you've been in Hollywood for so many years, and you always say that you've made money, but you don't have a masterpiece, how can people admit that you're a film company?

"Let me introduce you to someone, he should be familiar with Hollywood. ”

"Who?"

Bob Shea, president of the acquired New Line Pictures. Although this film is the company's first film, it doesn't have to be made entirely by ourselves, we are the dominant party, and the copyright of this film is ours.

Because I've never worked on a Hollywood movie alone, and we don't plan to test the waters for a small production of the first movie. Therefore, it is necessary to bring in a few experienced partners. Yang Dongxu said.

"Do we have the lead in the joint shooting?" Jos nodded, "That's a good idea. So how much are you going to invest in this movie?"

Although the script, director and actors have not yet been decided, they began to say that the cost is a little too anxious, but Yang Dongxu obviously can't stay in the United States for too long, so these things that need him to make decisions are better decided in advance.

"Between $100 million and $150 million,"

"Start at 100 million, and then if the script is determined and the actors and directors have the best requirements, then they can be increased as appropriate. So you need to choose a big script to come out. ”

"What about the genre?" asked Joss as he continued.

"Read the script, get the script as long as the script is good enough or whatever type you want. Bob's side I can say hello first, and then I can go and talk to him directly after I have decided on the script.

By the way, I still know the great director Peter Jackson, you can ask him about the director's questions. Or, if the script is suitable, you can ask him to guide you. ”

"I'm afraid he won't have a schedule by then. "In Hollywood, big directors are busier than big stars, and directors have a higher status than stars. It is not uncommon for many fans to enter the theater, not for the actors and stars, but for the directors.

"Let me help you ask first, even if there is no schedule, he is also a person in the core of the director's circle, and if you want to find a director to let him be the middleman, you can save a lot of things. ”

"Indeed, it is much more convenient for the director to introduce the director. When are you leaving the United States?"

"I'm going to stay for a while, and I'm going to sort out the other investments here. Yang Dongxu said.

Since he came to the United States, he naturally needs to sort out everything before leaving, otherwise if there is no emergency, he doesn't know when he will come to the United States next time.

"Are there any other variety show books? Although Haina has an advantage in variety shows, it's not good to always eat the old book, and it's a variety show in the draft now. Although our variety shows have a greater influence, all kinds of imitation variety shows have begun to proliferate. ”

The management of some copyrights in the United States is indeed in place, but it does not mean that there is no piracy. Even a lot of tabloids and small TV stations are deliberately pirated and then let you sue him to earn popularity.

If you don't sue him, he pirates to make money, you sue him, he rubs your traffic, and then he can make a wave, in short, it's disgusting. And it is easy to cause the audience to be overtired of the talent show.

"There are a few books, which are quite popular in Asia. I'll bring the translated tapes, and you'll take the company to look at them one by one. Take a look at the market that is more suitable for the United States, and then make some local changes.

Or try a few, anyway, many TV series here are filmed and released at the same time, and if the results are not good, the ones will not be filmed.

Variety shows can also be like this, choose a few good books to come out, shoot two or three issues first to see the market reaction and room for change and improvement. If the market responds well, it will be fixed, and if the reaction is bad, try something else. ”

"If that's the case, you can't directly use the company's resources to promote it. This will continue to consume the company's reputation and fans on variety shows.

You can choose some medium-sized TV stations to try to invest in promotional resources. In this way, sign a contract with a high degree of flexibility, and if it is really popular, you can also change the big TV station. Jos spoke.

"You just have to look at it. Yang Dongxu said.

Knock knock!

That's when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Wu Sheng walked in. "Master, there is a person named Jack at the front desk looking for you. ”

"Jack?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows, and the image of a middle-aged man with a beard came to mind.

"Invite him to the café downstairs, and I'll go down in a moment. "I don't know why this Jack asked and suddenly came to find him, but since the other party already knew that he lived in Hilton, and came to meet him, it was nothing.

"Then I'll leave first, anyway, you won't leave the United States for the time being, I'm discussing something with you. Joss didn't ask who Jack was, and stood up to get ready to go back to the office.

"Well, if there is anything to call first, although I am in the United States. But not necessarily in Los Angeles, Bieber's side you have more contact, whether it's his status as a councilor or as the honorary mayor of Hollywood, it helps us. Yang Dongxu reminded.

"I know, but if I can, send someone to manage Haina, or hire a CEO. I'm still familiar with the field of records, and I'm not an old man who wants to study all kinds of things when I'm old. Joss said half-jokingly.

"I'll have a meeting with the top management of Haina when I go back, and you should also pay attention to whether there are suitable candidates. "If Heiner wants to go further, the management really needs to put a strong leader over.

Originally, the choice of Jos was actually overused, after all, Jos's age was here. Who would have thought that it would be used for so many years, and Haina's development in Hollywood has been so bumpy.

Jos put on his hat and left the room, dressed as an old-fashioned old man in British style. Yang Dongxu took another elevator to the café in the downstairs relaxation area.

"It's really not easy to see you, why are you afraid that I will arrest you when I come to the United States?" Seeing Yang Dongxu walking towards him, Jack sat in his position and didn't mean to get up, even if Yang Dongxu came to the front and looked up at the other party.

"It's busy, I don't have time to run around. Yang Dongxu smiled lightly and sat down calmly.

Jack's face remained unchanged, and his eyes stared at Yang Dongxu from top to bottom, "It's hard to believe that you have so much wealth at such a young age." ”

"We've seen it a few times, so there's no need to say these time-wasting words. After speaking, Yang Dongxu turned his head sideways and said to the waiter: "Just give me a glass of water." ”

"Well, busy people won't delay your time. The look on Jack's face still didn't change, but the next sentence made Yang Dongxu frown: "I want your shares in Google, all!"
