Chapter 366 The driving force for human progress [two-in-one] [repair]

It is said that among the executives of Zhouyi Film and Television, although Jiang Hong was the latest to join, her qualifications in the film and television industry are not as good as those of other executives.

But she happens to be the one within Zhouyi who has the most confidence in Gao Fei's plan to go public within five years. Even Jiang Hong is more optimistic about the future of Zhouyi Film and Television than Gao Fei himself.

And after getting along with him for a period of time, people within Zhouyi couldn't help but look at Jiang Hong with admiration.

There was no way, everyone thought this round-faced little chubby girl was an orange cat at first, but no one expected that she was the ancestor of the orange cat.

That is simply a living tigress!

Sometimes even high flyers have to give the CFO three points.

Of course, this is not because Jiang Hong is ungrateful, nor is it because Gao Fei is afraid of her, but after she sorted it out, Zhouyi's financial management system has indeed taken on a completely new look.

From organizational structure to business processes, everything is becoming more professional and scientific.

So it was not Jiang Hong who made Gao Fei give in, but a more reasonable and scientific rule.

As the saying goes, without rules, there is no circle.

For company bosses, it feels good to stick to their word and follow the law, but such a company cannot sustain success.

Therefore, as the chairman of the board, Gao Fei naturally has to set an example and cannot be the first to break the company's rules.

But then again, it may take some time for a more scientific and professional financial management system to be effective.

But for Gao Fei, the effect of this financial management system was immediate.

Because Jiang Hong strictly separated his personal funds from the company's money.

Therefore, like in the past, when Zhou Yi's project was short of money, he would basically pay for it directly. Even if he had to use his small treasury, he would now go through the formal fund lending process.

This made Gao Fei feel very happy.

After all, as a man, who doesn’t want to see his coffers getting bigger and bigger?

It's just that Gao Fei never expected that Jiang Hong, who had just said that he wanted to separate public and private affairs not long ago, would suddenly start thinking about his own small treasury just like those Bichi in the company!

…

At the same time, in the study room of Houhai No. 9 Courtyard.

Jiang Hong looked at Gao Fei with excited eyes and said:

"Boss, you don't need too much, as little as five million or as much as ten million is enough."

But when Gao Fei heard that she wanted to invest in a video website, Gao Fei had a toothache and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Tsk tsk, as little as five million or as much as ten million?

This is really taking money instead of money!

Looking at her posture, someone who didn't know better thought she was buying cabbage.

But no matter how rich he is, he can't waste it like this!

Although there is still some money in his small treasury, the amount of banknotes is still a lot compared to ordinary people.

But if it is placed on a video website, it may not last for a few months before it is gone.

You must know that the video website industry is not an ordinary money-burning industry.

Didn’t you see that even with Sohu as the base, Zhang Chaoyang would still get angry over Sohu videos?

If this were not the case, Lao Zhang would not want to find a new way to create a self-made drama on Sohu, and it would not be because he could not afford the money!

Therefore, Gao Fei was too lazy to beat around the bush and said directly:

"Xiao Jiang, it's not that I don't believe in your vision, and it's not that I don't want to spend money."

"But please listen to my advice. The video website industry is too deep for film and television companies like us to afford."

"Even if I have money now, I will definitely have no money in the end."

"Even if the video website you mentioned is successful, then shouldn't we still make wedding dresses for others?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you lose some money. I'm afraid that it will drag Zhou Yi down."

Hearing what Gao Fei said, Jiang Hong suddenly fell silent.

Seeing this, Gao Fei thought he had finally convinced the tigress.

But I don't expect that although Jiang Hong looks small, her ambition is bigger than anyone else.

Therefore, her silence was not because she was persuaded by Gao Fei, but because she was thinking about how to continue explaining to Gao Fei to convince him to take this bet.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Hong looked at Gao Fei seriously and said:

"Boss, the video website industry is indeed very expensive, but you are wrong in one thing, because this video website is an exception."

"At least at this stage, they are not burning that much cash."

"Because unlike those video websites such as Tudou and Youku that are busy grabbing users, Bizhan is now deliberately controlling the number of users."

And as Jiang Hong spoke eloquently, Gao Fei's expression finally became serious without even realizing it.

…

By the way, the Bizhan mentioned by Jiang Hong is actually a very niche and alternative video website.

It is said to be niche because most of Bizhan’s users are young people who like animation and other two-dimensional culture.

To say it is different is because the emergence of Bizhan was a complete accident.

Because at the beginning, there was no website of this type in the industry. It was not until 2006, when N station was launched in Japan, that many netizens who liked the second dimension gathered here.

The barrage function is the biggest feature of N station. Viewers can leave messages on the video, and the messages will appear on the video in the form of barrage, realizing a kind of "virtual time sharing that transcends actual time".

Many young people who are deeply influenced by the two-dimensional culture have begun to become users of N station. In addition to watching videos and posting comments, these people are also willing to engage in secondary creation, re-editing, dubbing, and soundtracking their favorite videos into unique styles.

New works.

In June 2007, half a year after Station N was launched, a two-dimensional video website that could post barrages on videos appeared in China, namely Station A.

The emergence of Station A meets the needs of domestic two-dimensional users. Just like Japanese young people who love Station N, they are keen to watch videos on Station A, post barrages, and move many resources to Station A.

Of course, their behavior of generating electricity for love seems very admirable, but one thing is undeniable.

That is, Site A is the same as the early video websites such as Tudou, Youku, Liujianfang, etc. Most of the videos on it are pirated.

Therefore, when domestic Internet copyright management gradually became stricter, and Sohu took the lead in launching an Internet copyright war, Station A encountered severe challenges.

Because compared to other more popular video websites, Station A has always been unpopular with investors, so funds have been stretched thin.

In addition, Site A itself has always had internal conflicts and technical problems, so its servers began to go down frequently, making the user experience extremely poor.

There was even an extreme period of downtime from July 2009 to August.

Under this situation, Xu Yi, a 20-year-old "senior fan" at Station A, who was nicknamed "Grandpa" by users who often hang out at Station A, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

So after work, I built the framework of Bizhan on my own, and then joined forces with several like-minded friends to create Bizhan.

But at the beginning, their definition of Bizhan was actually a backup video website for Station A, so they casually named it "mikufans", which means "Hatsune Miku fans".

But I didn’t expect that although Station B was willing to serve as a spare tire, Station A would take the initiative to kill it.

So after the extreme incident of a month-long downtime, many two-dimensional enthusiasts who felt that they had been tricked began to angrily migrate from site A to mikufans.

I don’t know if Xilin, the founder of Station A, is frustrated.

So when Station A clearly still had the support of many old users, it hastily sold Station A to Hangcheng Winger Games at a low price of only 4 million yuan.

It can be said that Station A’s move is equivalent to taking the initiative to hand over the title of “the holy land in the hearts of 2D enthusiasts”.

So just like that, when Xu Yi himself was confused, he, the mikufans, unknowingly turned his spare tire into a regular one.

Later, due to a series of reasons, mikufans was renamed Bizhan.

It was during the time when Gao Fei acquired Zhouyi that Xu Yi officially resigned from the company and ran Beep full-time.

Of course, although the title of "Holy Land in the Heart of Two-Dimensional Lovers" sounds bluffing, in fact, Bizhan only has about 30 people at the moment. Compared with industry peers such as Tudou, Youku, and Sohu Video, it is undoubtedly a

Caotai team.

It was under this situation that Bizhan came into Jiang Hong's sight.

Because Jiang Hong likes to watch anime, she was naturally very happy when she learned that such a video website had appeared in China.

Therefore, after she had been around Bizhan for a while and learned that Bizhan had not received even a single investment, Jiang Hong was immediately keenly aware of the opportunity.

After seeing that Gao Fei finally paid attention to it, Jiang Hongdang continued to explain:

"Boss, you just regarded Bizhan as a video website, which is actually not accurate."

"Compared to large and comprehensive video websites such as Youku and Tudou, Bizhan is more like a community disguised as a video website."

"The videos in there are actually posts one by one. And the comments posted by users are like the replies on the first floor and the first floor."

"So rather than saying that Bizhan users are watching videos, it is better to say that they are interacting in social spaces such as Weibo and Tieba."
