1993 Glamour at a Glance

Chapter 265 High Society
The party continues, but this kind of banquet in the West never just gathers in one hall.Upstairs, downstairs, indoors and outdoors, there are always some people in some suitable places, speaking suitable words and doing suitable things.

Now in this room, we are talking about the event that Song Yang really wants to host tonight.

When Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz came in, they heard that Mr. Song said: "This year's production will not be very large, so Mr. Marco can help sell through existing channels first. New product development market, we will naturally invest in the US market. However, what level of spokesperson to choose in the US market and how much advertising effort to invest in the US market depends on whether Mr. Marco has the ability to complete another task within three months. "

Esami Mark said seriously: "Mr. Song, please tell me!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Naomi beside him and Liv Tyler and others on the opposite side.

Is it suitable for these people to listen to business cooperation matters here?

Song Yang also looked at them, and said with a smile: "If Mr. Mark can do this well, then PY Capital can invest a sum of money in Mr. Mark's company in three months. And in just a few years , may not be able to go public like Amazon. In the future, Mr. Mark will also become a force that cannot be ignored in the European and American entertainment circles, just like several major Hollywood production companies."

Everyone in the house was shocked.

Mark thought to himself: So what kind of Hollywood actresses, can they make their own choices?

Truly a unique opportunity!

"Mr. Song, I believe I can do it, please tell me!"

Whetted his appetite, Song Yang nodded with a smile: "Within three months, integrate those video tapes and VCD disc rental stores that have not been eaten by Blockbuster, and have their own network in at least ten cities in the United States. If you can do it Up to this point, PY Capital can invest 1000 million US dollars, allowing you to cover the whole country within one year. At the same time, transform the main business into DVD disc rental, order through the website, and adopt a monthly fee membership method .In three years, use the new Internet model to surpass Blockbuster.”

Esami Mark gasped.

Blockbuster, a video chain rental brand with thousands of stores across the United States.At this moment, that is a behemoth with more than [-] employees and billions of dollars in annual revenue.

Beyond Blockbuster?
"Mr. Ma Ke, you only have the convenience of helping us sell DVD players, so you can take the lead in this matter." Song Yang said truthfully, "You probably don't know much about the Internet, but you can learn. Tonight, You already know that Bezos is out of balance first. How to do this, we can see if you have such potential in three months. At the same time, we will also look for a team that is also optimistic about this opportunity.”

The official appearance of the DVD player was an opportunity for Blockbuster to be subverted.

The ship was turning around, and Blockbuster had too many VHS tapes in its inventory.Moreover, the existing profit model has been fixed, and the routine of pay-per-view and overdue breach of contract involves too many internal interests.During the peak period, the overdue fees they receive every year are as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, and users are very complaining.

Song Yang also told Esami Mark the truth. After all, this year, Netflix should also be established.

But to him, there is no difference.

At the beginning, Netflix, although the model was novel and grew rapidly, there were really too many pitfalls in this business.

DVDs are lighter and cheaper to ship, but the logistics network in the United States is too difficult to describe.After all, it is not purely an online transaction, but involves offline delivery of physical objects.

If you want to roll out offline stores like Blockbuster, the cost will be huge.

Netflix is ​​getting over it slowly, and it was difficult to attract investment in the early days.

But Song Yang could have many other methods.

After all, PY Capital, as an investor in the first round, now has a successful case of Amazon. With the fire of capital, it can use other people's money to burn shares.At the same time, it is also possible to cooperate with Amazon, renting here and selling there.

At the same time, if you find Esami Mark, he can "tear down the east to make up for the west". After all, the profit from selling DVD players is not small, and this game can continue.

Everything depends on whether Esami Mark, who has the right time, place and people, has the ability to make this way go through.

If not, when Netflix is ​​looking for investment, just integrate them together.

But Esami Mark stopped in his ears, but suddenly thought of Amazon.

After going public, can't they open up a new business?

This is a huge test, and now I just have a chance to be favored first by relying on my previous agency of Huaguo Electronics.

Only three months to go!

Esami Mark suddenly felt that Naomi Watts was not good, and every second of his time was precious now.

"I see, Mr. Song!" He seized the time, "Obviously, you have a very mature idea about this, but you need someone who can actually do this in the United States. I can be a competent CEO, There is no need to use investment methods, if the prospects are big enough!"

Song Yang laughed: "Mr. Mark sure?"

"Of course!" Mark nodded immediately, "Obviously, this involves a new model. Learning also takes time, why should Mr. Song waste time to test it? At least, I can also prove that I have basic knowledge based on my previous achievements. Ability, isn't it? Otherwise, Mr. Song wouldn't have come to me."

Song Yang admires such a pragmatic person very much.

The implication is that time waits for no one.As long as the pie is big enough, Esami Mark would rather see this broad road now.

In such a mature market as the United States, after the rounds of financing, listing, etc., the proportion of people who started doing things will only be so many anyway.And PY Capital is not short of money at all, why not keep it simple and go all out from the beginning?
Song Yang pondered for a while, and then said: "Philip, you have always been in touch with Amazon. You should know a lot about the Internet now, right?"

Philip nodded: "Of course, this is the main direction of PY Capital."

"Mark, you are right. I already have a fully mature idea. This matter involves a lot of chains. On the Internet, there must be a website and user acquisition. In the real world, it must be released with DVD discs. We need to cooperate with courier companies, manage delivery and receiving storage nodes, and offline chain stores. We don’t need to open as many stores as Blockbuster, but things are complicated.”

Song Yang paused and said: "Listen, if we go all out and do it directly, we will spend at least 1 million US dollars in three years. The goal is to have 200 million monthly paying users. The design of the entire website I have already planned the idea, the design of the warehousing and distribution system, and the pace of future development. Therefore, if you decide to cooperate in this way, you can only occupy a maximum of 10% of the shares, and this is before the listing.”

"How much do you charge per month for 200 million users who pay monthly?" Esami Mark calculated.

"$15 a month."

"I can accept it!" If such a goal can be achieved, it will be an income of more than 3 million US dollars a year. 10%, which is far more than the current net worth.

"At a certain scale, you may not be able to continue to be CEO."

"...Mr. Song, what kind of scale and status do you really expect from this company?"

Song Yang showed a meaningful smile: "The number of active paying users has reached about 3 million, and the market value has exceeded [-] billion U.S. dollars, making it the boss of Hollywood."

Everyone, including Jason and Philip, looked at him like a madman.

Why?
Song Yang didn't care either: "You're asking about expectations, this is my ambition. But what is certain is that this is my largest single investment project so far."

The network conditions and streaming media technology are not yet mature, so you can brag about being awesome first.

However, the road does have this much room.The few people at Netflix are really awesome, but they will not only face Blockbuster, but also Song Yang.When they begged for a takeover due to a temporary huge loss, they just included it.

The Internet at home and abroad will inevitably be divided into two worlds after all.

This method of paid membership is indeed an earlier mature soil in the West.

Starting with DVD discs, Song Yang entered into Netflix most smoothly, and Yinhe Audio has accumulated a lot of offline management experience in the rental and sale of audiovisual products.

Essami Mark's legs were weak.

About 3 million active paying users, isn’t it tens of billions of dollars in revenue a year?

10%... Even if it is only 1%, it is enough to become a billionaire!That is the threshold of the real upper class!

Cheng Mingyong seemed to be listening to heaven. He thought that Song Yang was only here to find a way to open up the DVD player market in the United States, but he didn't expect that there was such a huge idea behind it.

Subsequently, it has entered the process of discussing specific matters.

Highlighting the avant-garde and individual viewing methods of DVD, so how does this website called Galaxynet get the initial users.

Developing the site, buying CDs, re-administrating... everything is in place, and that's summer too.

"And during this period of time, I can come up with ten songs like "It's my life" just now. Jason, since Bon Jovi doesn't want to sing other people's songs, why not contact Miss Taylor's father. I only have one request, all song MVs must feature MEING’s DVD player. This year’s production won’t be high, and this method is enough to promote it. The coverage of the golden songs on Billboard is already large enough.”

Cheng Mingyong stared at him blankly.

Although he does have the identity of a musician, why can he guarantee it in the field of English songs?
This is a way that Cheng Mingyong did not expect.

The song just now...he doesn't think so...
