Chapter 1296: The Decision (2)

"The two presidents have not yet handed over, and the political struggle has begun. The recent pardon case of Rou Tae-woo is to win over the operation of the SK Choi family. Boss, you know, Choi and Rou Tae-woo are in a marriage relationship. On Monday, Kim Yong-san officially signed the pardon case. Boss, guess what the Blue House press release said?"

"Um?"

"It's funny to me to think about it. The announcement of the Blue House was originally agreed upon. How good is it to overcome difficulties in order to unite the Republic of Korea and overcome difficulties together. As a result, the Blue House said in the press release that it was the request of President-elect Kim Dae-jung, and Kim Yong-san gave a special amnesty to Roo Tae-woo. Haha, Kim Dae-jung was so angry that he was put on a verdict before he officially took office. He even called me to complain about this. What can I do?"

Daenerys Cinema.

It is Wednesday afternoon, January 7th.

In the office, Simon heard Chen Qing, who was opposite the video call, and felt speechless and funny, but he could understand it.

Political struggles never have any warmth.

The origins of South Korea's current ruling party can be traced back to the period of Seung Wong Rhee. The 1997 presidential election can be said to be the first time since the founding of South Korea, the ruling party that had been in power for half a century was defeated by the opposition party in the election and officially lost control of state power.

In order to regain power in five years, we will not miss the opportunity to crack down on the prestige of President-elect Kim Dae-jung and the opposition group behind him.

After thinking a little, Simon said: "The political struggle in South Korea is good for us. As long as you have the opportunity, you should take the initiative to push them to fight each other. Don't really twist them together. This is not a good thing for us."

"I know, boss," Chen Qing nodded, and did not continue the Korean topic, and said instead: "In China, the boss, "My Fair Princess" has finished its finale. I just got the data. Among them, the last episode of Beijing has reached 73%, and the lowest Guangdong TV is 63%. Isn't it? By the way, the average rating of 26 episodes is 56%, which is a miracle. Boss, you have a good vision and have cultivated a talent. There are also the theme songs given by the boss, which is the finishing touch."

Simon felt the somewhat sour look in the girl opposite, and asked with a smile: "I see that there is a plan to cooperate with CCTV to conduct a New Year's broadcast?"

"Yes, it will be broadcast tonight, just the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve. CCTV specially conducted an advertising investment, and a New Year's broadcast sold 63 million yuan. However, Jing Xi was so useless. We only got 25% of the share, 15.75 million yuan."

Simon said: "25% is already very good. If you cooperate with CCTV, don't think about making money, just don't lose money."

Seeing that the provocation was invalid, Chen Qing stuck out her tongue and said, "Also, the broadcasting rights after the New Year's broadcast have also been sold. This time, he added one Zhejiang TV and CCTV Channel 8, and the original four TV stations, which sold the broadcasting rights for five years at one time, and received 43 million. However, the exclusive period of the six TV stations is only two years. Two years later, we can sell the broadcasting rights at the municipal and county-level second- and third-tier TV stations. It is still unclear how much revenue this part of the income will be. All of them are added, and the total income before tax is about 63 million, so the boss has a good vision."

Simon saw the girl opposite him and finally flattered her again, deliberately pushing her credit for her. She just smiled and did not reveal that the story creativity of "My Fair Princess" was just as the theme song as he provided. Instead, she said: "The grades are so good, are you considering the sequel?"

"We definitely need to make a sequel, but now several starring actors have new dramas. There will definitely be no show in the sequel this year, and we will have to wait until next year at the earliest."

"This is not a hurry. It just so happens that the popularity of this drama can be fermented. There are also overseas. I have seen "Kangxi's Private Visit" win the ratings championship in Hong Kong, and "My Fair Princess" can also follow up, as well as in South Korea."

"We're all doing it," Chen Qing nodded, then smiled again, and said, "About Kangxi, have you noticed that Hong Kong is playing Asian TV stations, not TVB that cooperates with us in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

"Well, what's going on?"

"TVB is too stingy, even more stingy than Ren Jingxi. The boss told us at the beginning that we must not sell our series copyright at a low price, so we didn't discuss it. Later, the price given by ATV was very objective, so we gave it to them, and then TVB lost a ratings championship."

Simon didn't care too much, and explained again: "It's better to cooperate with overseas business, just talk about business, but it's not CCTV there."

"Um."

After saying this, Simon asked again: "How is "Love Call Transfer"?"

It's Wednesday afternoon in North America, and it's Thursday morning on Asia, January 8th. "Love Call Transfer" was released on January 1st, just one week.

Seeing Simon ask, Chen Qing kept it a secret: "Boss, guess how much?"

Simon guessed: "It should be 30 million. China has been connected to the Internet. This time, hundreds of people were sent to escort copy and prevent piracy. If it is less than 30 million, it will fail."

"The boss's requirements are so low," Chen Qing said, raising five fingers and shaking them, then raising another hand with a smile and adding two: "71 million in seven days means that China's box office potential is really great. Of course, it cannot be compared with "Titanic" in Hollywood, but it is already very powerful. When the official sees the benefits of theater reform and preventing piracy, the price-related policies will definitely be related to the price. There are two theme songs, "Watch Me 1997" and "Love Transfer". Now the streets and alleys in China are playing. By the way, the next weekend will be announced that Hollywood's purchase of movie rights will definitely stimulate another wave of market. Jinshu analyzed that at the end of the year, because there are no other competitors, the box office of this movie may reach 200 million."

"Is it a bit exaggerating to see two hundred million?"

"China has a population of 1.2 billion, not to mention that the idea given by the boss is so great, and it is normal for 200 million box office."

Simon thought about it, nodded slightly, and turned back to the topic: "Let's continue talking about Korea."

Chen Qing did not immediately turn back to South Korea, and then said: "Boss, can you come to China again this Spring Festival?"

Simon said: "Go to Hangzhou."

Chen Qing didn't mind at all: "As long as I can come, I'll go to Hangzhou to be a maid for the boss. By the way, Asu said that Xiaogoudan would call him mom. Boss, come over and teach him how to call him dad."

Simon smiled and said, "It has been taught."

Lin Su's child is the last of the few little guys this year. He is only four months old now, but he can simply call out words such as parents, which is obviously earlier than ordinary children. This proves that the little guys in the Westeros family are very smart and premature.

Chen Qing suddenly widened her eyes, understood, and had a resentful expression, as if she was accusing her man of stealing food on her back: "Boss, I want to have a baby too."

"Can you calm down and raise yourself like Asu after giving birth?"

"cannot."

"Then let's talk about the serious business."

Chen Qing pouted, lowered her head and operated the computer: "Boss, I'll give you a URL."

Simon was puzzled, holding the mouse and opening the URL in the text dialog box. When the browser opened, a page full of beautiful women appeared, and it was obvious that they were all Korean beauties at a glance.

Chen Qing, whose video frame was reduced to a corner of the screen, said again: "Boss, these are the girls who have recently signed contracts in South Korea. You can enjoy it if you take the time. By the way, SK Entertainment has also cooperated with Elite to open a model agency department. There will be a selection recently. Do the boss have any requirements?"

Simon shook his head: "No, please look at it."

Chen Qing was puzzled, then smiled again: "Boss, you won't be uninterested in women, are you?"

"It's a bit of this tendency, you have to be careful."

"Haha, I don't need it. I am the boss's right-hand man, followed by a woman."

"Well, my self-awareness is clear."

"That's right," Chen Qing agreed proudly. Seeing that Simon really didn't look too interested, she stopped talking nonsense and turned to the South Korean incident: "The matter of launching a donation campaign in South Korea is ready. Next week, Hyundai, Samsung and SK will first call on employees, and then Kim Dae-jung will follow up. However, boss, I still think that this matter has advantages and disadvantages and can divert the attention of Koreans. This is indeed one aspect, but on the other hand, it will definitely increase the cohesion of Koreans. Boss, you just said that you can't make Koreans too united."

"What I just said is that you can't make Korean politics too united."

“Is it different?”

"Of course it's different," Simon said. "The campaign to launch this donation is mainly to give Koreans a sense of spiritual satisfaction and prevent them from focusing too much on the economy of sustained recession. I've told you before that we take away Koreans' material things and leave them enough spiritual satisfaction."

Of course, Chen Qing remembered Simon's previous arguments, and after a little consideration, she did not raise any objections: "Then I will do what my boss said. In addition... Well, Daewoo Group bought two retired aircraft carriers from Ukraine in 1995, and announced its own aircraft carrier plan two years ago. However, due to the economic crisis, the South Korean authorities have recently decided to cut this plan and dispose of all the two aircraft carriers as scrap iron. Then, news came from the domestic side, hoping to take over."

Simon waited for Chen Qing to finish speaking, and shook his head directly: "I said that we will not participate in this kind of thing, nor will we stop it."

"That's it," Chen Qing lowered her head and marked her memo, and then said: "Also, about Samsung Auto. The boss introduced a batch of British capital last time. For the cooperation of the electronics and communications businesses of the three companies, 1 billion US dollars of the US$2 billion of the UK capital was involved in the form of an injection of a sub-fund of Apollo Management, and there was still 1 billion US dollars left. Recently, they suddenly contacted me, thinking that they wanted to get rid of us and cooperate with Samsung Auto alone. Moreover, Lee Kun-hee recently negotiated with two capitals in France and Singapore. The purpose is obvious, both to reduce our participation share as much as possible. Boss, what should we do?"

"Then reduce participation, you know my attitude towards the automotive industry."

"The problem is, when Lee Kun-hee introduced cooperation, she still had our name. Is this a good deal?"

Follow the official account

"We have already got what we want, and we can't let others take advantage of it," Simon said. "For Samsung Auto, Lee Kun-hee can do whatever she wants. We just need to cooperate to ensure that Samsung takes over Kia and don't fight for the initiative at all."

Chen Qing hesitated a little and said, "Boss, in China, I mean Suzhou, if we want to introduce Samsung Auto to invest in the construction of a factory, do we not interfere? Boss, you have also said that you are optimistic about China's traditional automobile industry?"

"Is there any car brand in Suzhou?"

"No," Chen Qing said: "So I don't think Samsung should be allowed to enter. This is a blue ocean. How good is it to develop ourselves?"

"For domestic cars in China, I am more optimistic about Zhejiang. Since Suzhou has no foundation, Samsung wants to enter, so let it enter."

Seeing Simon's decision, Chen Qing could only write it down again, and then started another topic: "About movies, the boss wants to achieve the effect of occupying the market through dumping by making 30 films a year. But I think movies are a very special industry. It is not like other physical commodities that can easily maintain long-term advantages once they occupy the market. On the contrary, even if we achieve short-term advantages through dumping, as long as other film companies produce high-quality films, the audience will still turn, so it is difficult to achieve the purpose of monopolizing the market."

"It's not just movies, but also theaters and TV, including videotapes and DVD retail networks. These platforms are also our next key target for plunder. If we master the platform, even if we cannot achieve 100% monopoly, 70% or 80% will definitely be fine."

"This is the problem," Chen Qing said: "Boss, I think the strategy of monopolizing the platform is correct. Just like the American film industry structure before the Paramount Act of 1948 in Hollywood, it monopolized omnichannels. So, whether it is good or bad, we can sell it, and the audience can only accept it. So, we just need to focus on the monopoly platform. There is no need to make so many movies in one go, right?"

"Platforms and content complement each other and are indispensable. Just like in Hollywood, Daenerys has an absolute strong position in content, so it will not be constrained by any platform. In the South Korean side, if the content is ignored, can you ensure that no Korean Daenerys Entertainment will appear and then threaten the platform with content?"

"South Korea does not have a Paramount Act, we just need to completely monopolize the platform?"

Simon said: "Of course, we must ensure that there will be no Paramount Act in South Korea. In addition, the next class solidification in South Korea will be very rapid. Extended, that is, industrial solidification. The pattern of related industries is fixed, and it will be difficult to change. I asked South Korea to make 30 movies a year to fix the pattern of the content industry. Of course, we will take a two-pronged approach and the pattern of the platform industry will be fixed, and no one can give any chance. In short, just do what I said."

Chen Qing said: "But, 30 movies are difficult to guarantee the quality?"
