Chapter 1348: World Online
Beijing.
In an office building at the intersection of Zhongguancun Street and the North Fourth Ring Road, this is the headquarters of "Huanyu Online".
Universal Online is an e-commerce team built by the Westeros system in Beijing. The company's name is not directly related to the Universal Center under construction in Wudaokou.
However, the name does come from the center of the world.
When naming, everyone thinks that it should be more neutral and more generous, and that they should not be limited to a certain field. In addition, the team leader of Universal Online is named Liao Yuming, and there is a word "Yu" in his name, so this name was confirmed.
This is Friday, April 23.
Chen Qing rushed to Beijing from Lianyungang yesterday, and today she came to check the progress of the construction of Huanyu Online.
Liao Yuming from Universal Online is 35 years old. After graduating from Peking University, he went to the United States to study and completed his graduate studies at Stanford University. He joined Igrit. He was later sent back to China to establish Igrit China Company. This time he left again and controlled the Universal Online team alone.
The registered Huanyu Online website will mainly engage in electrical appliance sales business and is also preparing to build Huanyu Logistics.
"With the full push of the country, with the growth rate of domestic Internet users in the first quarter, compared with last year, the number of Internet access users in China at least doubled in 1998, reaching 30 million. As the capital of China, by the end of the year, the number of users in Beijing is expected to be around 3 million, accounting for one-tenth of the country's Internet users. This is our potential user group, which is very considerable and is all high-end users with strong consumption capacity. I have carefully studied the development trajectory of Amazon. Until now, Amazon is still providing users with a large number of users.
The subsidy is the foundation for the US e-commerce to form a scale in just a few years. Universal Online has only 200 million yuan of available funds. It is expected that before it is officially launched in July, 70 million will be used for the initial expenses such as website development, goods procurement, warehousing and logistics, advertising and marketing, and the remaining 130 million will be used. Even if a more conservative operation strategy is adopted, it will only last for one year at most. But if it is too conservative, the situation will be difficult to open up. Mr. Chen, if you want Universal Online to develop rapidly, I think it is reasonable to invest 100 million US dollars a year. What do you think?"
In a conference room at the headquarters of Universal Online, I have seen the progress of the website R&D and logistics team. Everyone gathered here, and Liao Yuming asked for money directly.
Chen Qing was not surprised when she heard Liao Yuming's words, but just asked: "What are you going to spend $100 million a year?"
"Subsidy," Liao Yuming went straight to the topic: "This is something that North America has proven. For the public, online shopping is too new and people are always difficult to accept new things. This is a nature. What we have to do is to reverse the nature of users through subsidies. A physical store sells two thousand yuan for two thousand yuan, and we can subsidize to 1,500 yuan, and users can't help but not choose us."
Chen Qing nodded slightly, but said, "I agree with your point of view, but unfortunately, it's not possible. Liao, on the United States, Igret's development of e-commerce has actually accumulated some years of accumulation in all aspects, so she dared to launch large-scale subsidies at the beginning and directly adopt a radical expansion strategy. On the Chinese side, frankly, you have not learned to leave yet, so don't rush to run. First, spend a year to spread out an e-commerce platform that adapts to China's business environment, and then talk about other things."
Liao Yuming was a little disappointed and asked quickly: "Mr. Chen, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other teams are all like this?"
Chen Qing said: "Of course, your starting point is the same. Whoever does better in the future can get more support and even annex other teams."
"I actually want to say it," Liao Yuming paused and said, "Mr. Chen, if possible, can we raise additional funds on our own?"
"Yes," Chen Qing gave a revelation that surprised Liao Yuming: "However, I hope you can take the right measure for yourself. Igret has used a lot of resources to support Igret's interests.
Liao Yuming was quite satisfied with this response. Of course, he knew the right position and promised: "Wuanyu will definitely seek Igrit's consent first for financing from abroad."
The two sides then discussed a series of detailed issues. More than an hour later, Chen Qing said goodbye and left.
It was already evening.
Before dark, I went to Guanchengyuan Community to see the two buildings being renovated, returned to the Maoer Hutong mansion to change into clothes, and had a simple rest. Chen Qing set out to rush to a dinner organized by the senior management of Jinshu.
The location is an old restaurant in Wangfujing.
This time, we mainly celebrate the later completion of "Heroes" and even the next trip to Cannes.
The opening time of the 51st Cannes Film Festival this year is May 13, with only 20 days left. "Hero" is the only Chinese-language film shortlisted this year. Another film "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin" by Director Chen was not selected.
Speaking of which, this incident has caused some trouble recently.
Director Chen Da's "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin" started filming a month earlier than "Hero" last year, and he was aimed at Cannes this year. Unfortunately, he encountered the sniper of "Hero".
"Farewell My Concubine" became famous on the Cannes platform, and Master Zhang's main battlefield was actually Berlin. Therefore, this time it felt like Master Zhang had snatched the territory of Chen Da.
If the themes of the two movies are not so similar, it would be fine to be shortlisted together. The problem is that both movies are about the story of "Assassination of Qin", and it is impossible for Cannes to win both, so they can only choose one. Not to mention the quality of the two movies, it is just that Daenerys Entertainment is far superior to the Cannes connections that the investor in "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin" and there is no possibility of too much suspense in the result.
Therefore, when "Hero" was selected and "Jing Ke assassination of Qin King" was defeated, some things can be imagined. In order to participate in the film festival, the Chinese film circle was full of blood and all kinds of reports.
Chen Qing arrived at the dinner and everyone was discussing this matter.
The problem is that somehow the finger pointed to the "Chu and Han" trilogy, which is also being prepared.
News leaked from China Film Academy that someone raised objections to the appointment of Mr. Zhang as the director of the "Chu Han" trilogy, believing that such an important project was completely controlled by Mr. Zhang alone, and the risk was too great, so it was suggested that the trilogy should be led by three directors respectively.
Among them, all kinds of more messy stories are inevitable.
Regarding the strategy of self-destruction of Chinese film and television entertainment industry, it has always been communication between Chen Qing and her boss. After all, if this incident is reported, it will be too harmful to morale, so others will naturally not know.
The recent mainland box office results of "Titanic" that exceeded 100 million in a single week and exceeded 200 million in less than 200 million in two weeks have made Chen Qing more and more acknowledged her boss's strategy.
Film and television media are really too eye-catching, but there are not many benefits. Let them go completely and give many people a subconscious feeling that the Westeros system is actually not that threatening, and the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
Therefore, for Jinshu and other affiliated companies, Chen Qing actually adopted a rather laissez-faire strategy. Otherwise, she would have known that various undercurrents around the "Chu Han" trilogy project could have been used in advance to suppress the situation and allow this series to progress steadily.
Now, no matter how you talk about it, Chen Qing also gave some comfort and guarantees on the surface, but in private, she would do whatever she wanted.
Even if the trilogy is completely lost, Chen Qing doesn't care.
Just like this during this period, the second season of "Super Girl" under Jinshu was barely able to get a horse.
On Ren Jingxi's side, the "Survivor" project was directly killed. The official reason was that the American version of "Survivor" was too materialistic and played with human nature for money, which was contrary to mainstream values. Even if Ren Jingxi changed the project with positive energy, what should not be seen or not.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
Last year's "My Fair Princess" was so eye-catching that it was still popular on major TV stations, blocking the way for too many other film and television projects.
Therefore, a ban on Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan was even triggered.
The second part of "Return of the Condor Heroes" that is being prepared is quite guaranteed due to the expectations of the whole nation and the ratings of winning glory for the country overseas. However, it is natural that another "Survivor" which is also under Huanzhu Film and Television cannot pass the review.
However, on the other hand, if Chen Qing is willing to help clear the situation, it will be easy for "Survivor" to pass. The key is that Chen Qing did not do this, but just gave a response from Ren Jingxi, "I'm doing my best."
Anyway, let go.
If Jinshu and other companies can develop well in the future, there will be no artificial obstacles in the Westeros system, but if they do not develop well, it doesn’t matter.
In related fields, Simon currently cares about only Jinshu Film and Television City in Suzhou.
This is a personal hobby.
It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening when the dinner ended.
When I returned to the Maoer Hutong mansion, I went to the underground swimming pool to take a hot bath and saw Lin Zhi learning to swim, and I asked someone to call Lin Zhao over.
The last time Simon returned to China, he brought the two sisters with him. When he left, the Lin sisters did not go with him, but stayed in China, playing all the way from Suzhou to Beijing, and also moved into Maoer Hutong. After all, there are quite a lot of empty rooms here.
Lin Zhao obviously had no intention of swimming. He thought Chen Qing had something to do with her and rushed over in a base-made brown velvet shirt and white trousers.
Seeing her sister being hugged by Chen Qing and soaked in the hot spring pool, she was immediately wary. She probably knew some of Chen Qing's hobbies and wanted to pull her sister away, but she could only think about it. It seemed that her sister looked irresistible.
If you really do this, it will inevitably make people angry again.
Every time Chen Qing saw Lin Zhao, she couldn't help but sigh at the magic of creation. The lateral altitude was probably close to 20 cm, which was simply amazing.
Seeing that Lin Zhao showed more alert because her eyes showed her eyes, she didn't force her, but said, "I will go back to North America tomorrow afternoon, and you can go back with me too. It's not interesting to stay in China."
Lin Zhao stood more than one meter away from the hot spring pool. Hearing this, he subconsciously retorted: "I, I don't want to stay in China."
As he said that, he was inevitably guilty and glanced at his sister.
In fact, Lin Zhi wanted to stay, and even lived here because his sister insisted that Lin Zhao felt that he could only follow him.
Chen Qing just said casually that she had always paid attention to these sisters.
For example, last time Lin Zhao pleaded with his boss about his hometown, and that matter was handed over to Lin Su to deal with. She knew all this.
He is naturally good at observing words and expressions, and Chen Qing has always been very accurate in his eyes.
Lin Zhao pleaded with his boss, allowing thousands of people in his small town to regain their jobs, but Chen Qing saw that the two sisters were much colder than Qin Buzui, who had a deep conflict with his mother. The smaller ones were very obvious, while the larger ones were cut off at any time. Even if they were right or wrong, they could still show their nature.
On the other hand, because of his grandparents’ affairs, Qin Buzui wanted to strangle his mother to death, but he didn’t do that. Not only did he not do that, but now he is also being pulled by two people. He said he doesn’t care about it and is cruel. When he makes trouble there, Qin Buzui will still react.
Of course, these little human hearts and the like have nothing to do with Chen Qing.
It didn't affect her, but just treated it as a daily adjustment. Seeing Lin Zhao standing there straight, she was too lazy to say anything. Like her boss, she never liked to force herself. So she waved her hand to send Lin Zhao away. When Lin Zhao disappeared, she also became interested. She hugged Lin Zhi, who was blushing beside her, and went up to kiss her, but she told Jiang Shanwu around her and called out to the others with Lin Zhao.
Those girls are so likable.
I couldn't help but think that my boss seemed to have not eaten any of them until now, including Lin Zhao, both of them. Is he really not interested?
This is unscientific.
I slept very late at night and rested directly in a large bedroom underground in the residential area. Chen Qing still got up early the next day, continued to deal with some of the work here nervously in the morning, and set off in the afternoon.
Contacted North America in advance.
Today is Friday.
My boss would go to San Lucas Manor in Mexico to spend the weekend, so he planned to go there. In addition to the Lin sisters whom he brought with him, he would also bring eight other aggressive girls with him.
Due to the time difference, we arrived on the West Coast of North America on Friday evening, April 24.
Simon has just arrived, too.
Not only that, Chen Qing also found that it was really lively here, with a large group of people of all sizes. Judging from the appearance, Chen Qing could be sure that they were obviously from Ukraine.
Chen Qing knew very well how deep her boss was there because she was also in touch with various cooperations with Ukraine in China, including cooperation between underground forces, just like Cao Minyuan who was transferred to South Korea, who had been sent to Europe by Chen Qing. If there were no other arrangements in Asia, Chen Qing even planned to build a Chinese gang in Ukraine.
Chapter completed!
