my return 2002

Chapter 270

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Cai from Tangren Film and Television is here, and he said he made an appointment with you in advance." Yang Mei knocked on the door and said.

Shen Lang nodded: "Well, you can take her directly to my office."

After Yang Mei left, Shen Lang continued to talk to Zhou Shengjun.

"This year's video industry is developing rapidly, and the competition will become more and more fierce. If 360 video wants to hold on to its leading position in the industry, it can no longer just focus on user growth like last year, but must develop its own characteristics."

Zhou Shengjun nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, Youku and Tudou are coming aggressively recently, and it is said that they have already attracted investment, so it is difficult to deal with."

The two were talking about Cai Yinong arriving with Liu Shishi, Cai Yinong saw that Shen Lang was talking about something and didn't bother him, it was Yang Mei who knocked on the door, and then said with a smile.

"Excuse me, Mr. Shen. If you are busy, we can wait in the reception room for a while."

Shen Lang stood up and made a gesture of invitation: "Don't disturb, oh, by the way, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhou Shengjun, the person in charge of our 360 video, this is Mr. Cai from Tangren Film and Television, this lady "

Shen Lang naturally recognized Liu Shishi, but this was the first time seeing a real person, and Liu Shishi was only 19 years old at this time, and his temperament was a little immature, but there was one thing that hadn't changed, that is the ascetic face.

Seeing Shen Lang staring at Liu Shishi all the time, Cai Yinong secretly smiled in his heart, it really is a hero who is sad and beautiful, it seems that he brought Liu Shishi here today is really a clever move.

Cai Yinong introduced with a smile: "Oh, this is the female artist Liu Shishi that our company has just signed, and she is also a newcomer that our company intends to promote."

Thinking of what Cai Yinong said to her in the company, Liu Shishi stretched out his hand to Shen Lang nervously: "Mr. Shen, hello, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

Shen Lang gently shook hands with the other party with his fingertips, and nodded with a smile: "Well, Ms. Liu has a very good temperament, and she will definitely occupy a place in the entertainment industry in the future. Mr. Cai has a good eye."

I have to say that Cai Yinong's aesthetics has always been very online. From Guan Yonghe, the first sister of the Tang Dynasty, to Sun Li (Huang Lei's wife), to Liu Shishi, Hu Bingqing, Jin Chen, and Chen Yao, they are all very distinctive beauties, unlike many The film and television companies are all presenting the same stereotyped Internet celebrities, who look like they have handsome features, but they can't impress the audience at all.

Although it was just a polite remark, Cai Yinong was still very happy, at least it showed that Shen Lang had a good impression of her.

"Boss Shen is absurd."

After the four of them were seated, Yangmei served tea, and Shen Lang got straight to the point.

"Mr. Cai is here this time for Tang Ren's film and television copyright, right?"

Cai Yinong quickly put down the teacup in his hand, and sat up straight: "Well, Mr. Shen, there are many film and television works of our Tang people on the 360 ​​video, but we have never released any online film and television copyright."

Zhou Shengjun interjected: "Mr. Cai, as you said, there are pirated resources all over the Internet now, and it's not just our family doing this. It's a matter of market supply and demand. Users are used to free, and the entire industry is losing money."

Cai Yinong's face changed: "But, after all, it is piracy."

Zhou Shengjun continued to refute, Shen Lang waved his hand, and then said to Cai Yinong: "Mr. Cai, in fact, I am not willing to do piracy, but the video industry does have its particularity, and the bandwidth cost remains high. If we purchase copyrights in large quantities, it will be a heavy burden, and, Mr. Cai, can you guarantee that we have purchased the copyrights of Tangren, so that the film and television works about Tangren on other video sites cannot be played?"

Cai Yinong was speechless, she naturally knew that this was impossible, and the protection of copyright is not perfect now, even if these video sites are sued, the other party can also shirk that it was uploaded by users, at worst, it will be removed from the shelves, and then wait for the limelight to pass Then put it on the shelves again. As for the compensation, the video site didn't use this to make money, but has been losing money. Even if it is sentenced, it will at most give a little compensation, which is not enough to hire a lawyer.

"But Mr. Shen, you recently bought a lot of music copyrights."

Shen Lang had a very embarrassed expression, and thought for a moment: "Mr. Cai, how about this? We can acquire the copyright of Tangren Film and Television, but we must sign a supplementary agreement. From now on, the copyright of Tangren Film and Television's online broadcasting can only be handed over to 360 Video. Be exclusive, and cannot be re-licensed to third-party video sites."

Zhou Shengjun's face was filled with displeasure, and Cai Yinong also fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Shen, isn't this clause too much?"

Before Cai Yinong finished speaking, Shen Lang interrupted forcefully: "Mr. Cai, when will the copyright of the network department of film and television works be taken seriously, none of us know. To put it bluntly, I am betting on the future, but What we are spending now is real money, if Mr. Cai does not even agree to this condition, it will be too dishonest."

Cai Yinong's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Shen, I didn't mean that."

"Mr. Shen, can you add a point that the copyright fee must follow the market price."

This is also Cai Yinong's bottom line, otherwise if the 360 ​​video is just a nominal fee in the future, wouldn't Tangren Film and Television be at the mercy of others.

Shen Lang nodded: "Yes."

Cai Yinong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on his face: "Boss Shen, it's a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Shen Lang smiled and shook hands with the other party.

Liu Shishi on the side never spoke during this process. On the one hand, she didn't understand these business twists and turns. She can find a corner to sit all day long.

There is no need for Shen Lang and Cai Yinong to worry about the next copyright acquisition, and there will naturally be someone under his command to negotiate.

Cai Yinong glanced at his watch, and said to Shen Lang: "President Shen, I think it's getting late, why don't we have a light meal together?"

Shen Lang didn't refuse either: "Okay, then let's go together."

In a nearby restaurant, the waiter led Shen Lang and his party into the box, and Cai Yinong specially arranged for Liu Shishi to sit on Shen Lang's right hand side.

Taking advantage of the serving time, Cai Yinong also reminded Liu Shishi to help Shen Lang clean the tableware, while he chatted with Shen Lang about investment.

"I heard that Shen always graduated with a major in finance, and the funds for founding Inspur Technology were also earned from the stock market? I see that the stock market is very popular recently. Shen always thinks that now is a good time to enter the market?"

Shen Lang secretly laughed in his heart, is this what he likes?
"Well, let's put it this way, since 01, A-shares have entered a five-year bear market depression, and this year has begun to pick up, which is a big wave of market prices. On the one hand, due to the improvement of various stock market regulations, the confidence of shareholders has been enhanced. On the one hand, the overall economy is improving, and people’s pockets are gradually bulging. This is also the main reason for the sharp rise in housing prices in the past two years. Now is a good opportunity to enter the market. If Mr. Cai has spare money, he might as well give it a try. "

Cai Yinong looked hesitant: "But, Mr. Shen, I don't know much about investment. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"If Mr. Cai is interested, you can pay attention to the bank stocks. ICBC and China Merchants are both good and relatively stable." Shen Lang said casually.

In fact, in 2006, Bank of China was about to go public, but Bank of China opened high and went low, and basically lost whatever it earned.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Shen for your guidance. If I make money then, I will treat Mr. Shen to dinner." Cai Yinong thanked.

At this time, the dishes were also served, and Liu Shishi, who had been silently cleaning the tableware by the side, also brought Shen Lang's tableware to him.

Shen Lang's eyes lingered on Liu Shishi's fair and slender fingers for a moment, and Cai Yinong saw this scene, and secretly smiled in his heart, it was young and romantic after all.

Liu Shishi also noticed Shen Lang's gaze, and put his hands on his knees indiscriminately, until Shen Lang's gaze moved away, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Shen, which stock are you buying now?" Cai Yinong asked curiously.

Shen Lang replied casually: "Moutai, Suning, and Vanke all buy some."

Cai Yinong originally thought that Shen Lang would be perfunctory, after all, this is a very private matter, but she didn't expect Shen Lang to say it without reservation. For a while, she didn't know whether Shen Lang really bought these The stock is still spoken casually.

But Cai Yinong still secretly remembered it.

"Hey, Shishi, why are you still drinking drinks? Come on, change to wine, and toast Mr. Shen." Cai Yinong was not satisfied with Liu Shishi's performance at the table.

Liu Shishi wanted to refuse, but he held back when he thought of what Cai Yinong said to him in the office.

"Boss Shen."

Before Liu Shishi could speak, Shen Lang said: "Just take a sip to express your meaning. You don't need to finish the drink. In fact, I don't like drinking too much. It's just that I can't do it for socializing."

Liu Shishi nodded gratefully, then took a sip, his face immediately changed, a pungent smell of alcohol kept washing his nostrils, he turned his head quickly: cough cough.

Cai Yinong could only explain with a sneer: "Mr. Shen, I'm really sorry, Shi Shi, she just graduated from school."

"It's normal for a girl not to drink. Ms. Liu should continue to drink."

Liu Shishi's cheeks turned slightly red, maybe it was the effect of alcohol, but he was still a little shy, and said softly: Thank you, and then he ate on his own.

After a meal, Cai Yinong chatted with Shen Lang about the situation of the film and television industry, and then inquired about the future development direction of 360 video.

Before the contract with Tangren was signed, Shen Lang would naturally not reveal his plan, and just perfunctory it.

After dinner, Cai Yinong asked Liu Shishi to ask Shen Lang for a private phone call, but Shen Lang did not refuse.

On the way back, Cai Yinong said to Liu Shishi with a bit of resentment: "My eldest lady, you didn't listen to what I told you at the company."

Liu Shishi lowered his head and did not dare to refute.

Seeing this, Cai Yinong also sighed, the reason why he signed her was because of her temperament.

"Oh, forget it, Mr. Shen seems to like your personality quite a bit, so it's a blessing in disguise."

Liu Shishi blinked: Does he really like me?It seems that you just stared at your fingers for a while, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Shishi felt an inexplicable burning sensation in his fingers.

Soon, 360 Video's acquisition of Tang Ren's film and television copyrights began to spread in the film and television circles. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone the film and television industry where gossip is everywhere.

Immediately, domestic film and television companies, large and small, took action upon hearing the news, either contacting 360 Video directly, or asking Cai Yinong side-by-side, hoping to get some information from her.

Naturally, Cai Yinong would not reveal that, on the one hand, they are all competitors, wishing for the other party's death, and on the other hand, she does not want to offend Shen Lang because of this.

Soon, film and television companies such as Galloping Horse, Huace Film and Television, and Hualu Baina took the initiative to come to their door, wanting to discuss the acquisition of film and television copyright with 360 Video.

Even film companies such as Huayi, Guangguang, and Orange Sky also came to seek cooperation.

Shen Lang didn't show up, but asked Zhou Shengjun to talk directly. At this time, the copyright is basically the price of cabbage. How much is cabbage?Last year's hit "Bright Sword" had only 15 online copyrights, and the 81-episode "Wulin Biography" had only 10 online copyrights.

The reason why it is so cheap is also very simple. Except for 360 Video, there is no video website willing to buy it at all. People just go whoring for nothing, and the pricing power is always in the hands of 360 Video.

Zhou Shengjun's attitude is naturally very tough. If you want to sell the copyright, you can sign it exclusively, otherwise please return.

Some film and television companies were determined to unite against 360 video at the beginning, but unfortunately, this kind of alliance was just lip service, and one company accepted Zhou Shengjun's conditions, and the alliance naturally fell apart.

Soon 360 Video purchased the copyrights of more than 700 TV series and more than 500 movies, and signed exclusive agreements with more than 30 film and television companies across the country.

Although it is the price of cabbage, but overall, it cost more than 5000 million yuan. In the eyes of many video sites, this is completely a prodigal act.

However, Youku and Tudou, the first echelon video sites, still see the crisis. It’s just that they don’t have the money to grab it, and the copyrights of popular movies and TV series on the market are basically swept away by 360 videos. The downloads are all crooked melons and cracked dates, and there is no value in buying copyright at all.

This made Youku's Gu Yongqiang and Tudou's Wang Wei uneasy. Although the management of copyright is still relatively broad, once the copyright is tightened, they will have no resistance to 360.

The action of 360 video also made many investors who were originally optimistic about the video track see the risks in it. Many video website projects that had already negotiated investment were withdrawn by investors one after another.

The video website started directly from popular entrepreneurial projects, but suddenly fell into the cold, and even some projects had not yet been launched, and the founders themselves gave up.

Compared with these video sites, 360 video has become a favorite in the market. Zhou Shengjun has to receive at least three waves of investors every day, which made him complain to Shen Lang that he has no energy for projects.

Shen Lang scolded with a smile: "You boy, don't stay with me in Versailles, hurry up and make a membership system. Only by proving that you have a mature enough business logic can these investors willingly pay for it!"

Zhou Shengjun left in a panic.
