The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

Chapter 394 409: If you don't agree to Deep Blue, you will end in person. Don't regret it when the time comes.

After this news came out, Xiao Ma felt that his head was bigger than that of Da Tou's son.

Deep Blue Technology's acquisition of Kiwi is not a simple acquisition. After the acquisition, Kiwi will become a strong enemy of Penguin Video. You must know that Deep Blue Technology has poached half of Hong Kong Island's entertainment industry.

Although the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island is not as good as before, the reason why the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island has declined is because domestic capital is not optimistic about them, but the situation is completely different now.

With the super capital of Deep Blue Technology, it is not impossible for Xianyu to turn around.

Brother Xiao Ma immediately called Sun Huai to his office.

Sun Huai, male, Han nationality, was born in 1973 and graduated from Renmin University of China. He also holds an EMBA and a bachelor's degree in economics from the school. He is currently the vice president of Penguin and the CEO of Penguin Online Video.

Sun Huai was originally a literary youth with long hair, but he cut off his long hair after joining Penguin.

After Sun Huai received the call from Brother Xiao Ma, he rushed over immediately, and he knew why Brother Xiao Ma was looking for him.

He was also very depressed about Deep Blue Technology's acquisition of Kiwifruit.

Unexpectedly, the flames of war between Deep Blue and Penguin would spread to him.

"Xiao Sun, what do you think about Deep Blue's acquisition of kiwi fruit?" Brother Xiao Ma asked.

“Kiwi was originally the weakest player in the online video industry. Now that Deep Blue has taken over, it will surpass Tudou and become Penguin Video’s biggest enemy. Not surprisingly, they will increase their self-made content.

The teams on Hong Kong Island are much better than us in film and television production.

We have to increase our investment in self-made programs, otherwise we will not be able to compete with Kiwifruit. In addition, we have to cultivate our own artists, otherwise we will not be able to beat Deep Blue in terms of cost.

But these things are not what I am most worried about. What I am most worried about is another thing. "Sun Huai said with a gloomy face.

Penguin has been testing the waters in self-made content since 14, but there is currently relatively little self-made content, and the quality of self-made content is average, but as long as it cooperates with domestic film and television companies.

Self-made content can still keep up.

But compared with the team dug from Hong Kong Island by Deep Blue Technology, it is different.

Hong Kong Island is famous for its fast video production. If the speed is fast, the quality is not bad. For Penguin Video, this is definitely a natural disaster. The most important thing is that their production costs are very cheap.

It is recognized that stars in Hong Kong Island are paid cheaply.

This is incomparable to domestic film and television companies. 5000 million can make at most one movie in China. If all Hong Kong stars are used to make movies, 5000 million can make at least two movies.

Penguins would have to invest at least twice as much money to make up the difference in numbers.

In Sun Huai's view, the domestic entertainment industry is really too dark.

But what can you do to blackmail you, unless Penguin cultivates its own stars.

But these are not what Sun Huai is most worried about. What he is most worried about is another thing.

"What's the matter?" Brother Ma asked with a frown.

"Mr. Ma should know that the best LCD panel in the world right now is the Phoenix produced by BOE. BOE's LCD panel uses the technology of Deep Blue Technology. If Deep Blue Technology requires TV manufacturers to focus on Kiwi video.

Do you think we still have a way to compete with Deep Blue Technology on the TV side?
Even if all manufacturers do not cooperate with Deep Blue, Deep Blue can still fight with them in person. The Phoenix panel uses Deep Blue's technology, and Deep Blue's technology has an absolute advantage in cost.

I believe these manufacturers are not willing to be enemies with Deep Blue. " Sun Huai asked.

Deep Blue Technology does not need to ask manufacturers not to allow the installation of Penguin Video, but if all TVs use Kiwi Video as their desktop, Penguin will lose a large number of home TV users.

You must know that the payment rate of household users is the highest among paying users.

Brother Xiao Ma frowned when he heard Sun Huai's explanation. They couldn't sue Deep Blue for its monopoly. Deep Blue didn't say it couldn't install Penguin Video, it just asked the manufacturer to
It is not a requirement, but a cooperation with the manufacturer to promote the kiwi fruit video.

Besides, I believe that these manufacturers are not willing to see Deep Blue end in person. Deep Blue can force the manufacturers to agree by personally ending. This kind of enterprise that monopolizes upstream products is really terrible.

"Then what do you think we should do to break the situation?" Little Ma asked after lighting a cigarette.

"So far, I can't think of any way to break the situation, because BOE is not the only LCD panel manufacturer, and we have no way to sue them for abusing their monopoly position in the market." Sun Huai shook his head and replied.

correct.

The biggest problem is that China is not the only one producing LCD panels from BOE.

It's just that the LCD panels produced by BOE are better than other manufacturers.

Unless other LCD panel manufacturers are down, at that time it can be said that BOE has a monopoly. This process will take at least five or six years. Even if Penguin can last until then, all users will run away.

"Go back and think about what can be done to solve it, increase investment in self-made videos, the cultivation of artists can not be left behind, and increase cooperation with domestic film and television companies.

Deep Blue building a team is equivalent to making an enemy of domestic film and television companies.

I believe that domestic film and television companies are willing to cooperate with us. "Xiao Ma Ge said after thinking for a long time.

This is the only thing penguins can do right now.

Other things can only be decided after they think of a way.

"Okay, Mr. Ma, then I'll go back to work first." Sun Huai said.

"Go." Little Ma nodded.

After Sun Huai left, Brother Xiaoma wondered whether Penguin should end up making hardware himself. If he wanted to fight against Deep Blue, then Penguin had to launch its own products to seize the market.

This is also the only way for Penguin to fight against Deep Blue.

Office of the President of Shenlan Technology Industrial Park.

Because Zhang Hongyu was in the capital, Cao Mang could only hold a video conference, in addition to Zhang Hongyu and Tommy also participated.

Tommy was able to attend this meeting because he is now the general manager of Deep Blue Media.

"Zhang Hongyu, in the next period of time, Deep Blue Video's external purchases will be reduced to a quarter of the original one. In the future, Deep Blue Video will mainly focus on self-made videos. In these two days, I will transfer 20 billion to the company's account.

15 billion of this money was directly transferred to Deep Blue Media's account, and the remaining [-] million was reserved for Deep Blue Video's operations. " Cao Mang said.

"Mr. Cao, the external purchases have been reduced to a quarter of the original amount. Isn't that a bit too much? There is nothing to be purchased with this amount of money." Zhang Hongyu frowned.

He didn't expect Cao Mang to reduce the amount of purchases so much once he took over.

Domestic video content is so expensive, it’s a waste to spend the remaining money to purchase it.

"The money is for you to purchase foreign films. You can basically stop purchasing domestic film and television content. If there is a need to purchase the headquarters, you will be notified. In the future, all content will be self-made." Cao Mang said.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." Zhang Hongyu replied helplessly.

Although he didn't understand why Cao Mang did this, but he was just a wage earner, he could only do what Cao Mang said.

Cao Mang's doing this is equivalent to completely isolating himself from domestic entertainment companies. You must know that the Chinese entertainment industry is a very complicated circle. Deep Blue's doing this is likely to anger all entertainment companies.

This is not a good thing for Deep Blue Film and Television.

However, in Cao Mang’s view, the future is an era where content is king. If you want to have traffic, you must provide good content. Those traffic generated by hype are very false.

For example, Kai's "Broken Bridge" lost 1.2 million yuan, and Moulu's "Modu Fortress" lost 3.6 million yuan.

Xiaogangpao has a saying that is very right. There are too many idiot audiences. If there weren't so many idiot viewers, how could these popular stars perform on stage?

Deep Blue Video can provide a living for these artists in Hong Kong. I believe these people will do their best to repay the favor. After all, the competition in the actor industry is still very high.

Although Deep Blue Video now gives them a bite to eat, if they don't work hard, they can only fall into the fate of being eliminated.

Survival of the fittest in the economic market is an eternal truth.

"Tommy, there are still three months until the end of the year, I need you to produce five TV dramas for me within these three months, the original two talent shows remain unchanged.

After the script is selected, it will be sent to my e-mail.

I hope to see the landing of the first TV series before the Chinese New Year next year.

I don’t want TV dramas that copy Hong Kong Island’s old favorites, and I don’t want to shoot any fantasy dramas for me. It’s best to focus on realistic themes and costume dramas, and the filming team should try to use teams from Hong Kong Island.

When you choose a script, you must ensure that the script is reasonable, don't present me with such a stupid plot, and don't insult the IQ of me and the audience. " Cao Mang said.

Tommy on the other end of the computer showed a bitter face.

You don't want to overwhelm old people and you have to complete the filming quickly, and you are not allowed to film fantasy and fairy tale dramas. Aren't you making things difficult for Fat Hu?

"Three months to schedule five TV series, isn't this time too short, can you give me more time?" Tommy said with a bitter expression.

"Of course you don't have enough time to do this alone. You mobilize all the owners of Deep Blue Film and Television, and the artists in Hong Kong Island also have resources. You tell them that the company will make five TV series.

Let them find a suitable script for self-recommendation, I believe there will be unexpected gains, in addition, you have to find a way to find resources yourself.

If you can't do such a simple thing well.

Then you, the general manager, have done your best, and I will find someone to replace you. "Cao Mang said with a very serious expression.

"Mr. Cao, I will try my best." Tommy said bitterly.

"Zhang Hongyu, you should have a lot of resources like this. I hope you two can communicate more and try to resolve this matter," Cao Mang said.

"No problem, Mr. Cao." Zhang Hongyu replied.

"In addition, let me know that Deep Blue Media invested one billion yuan in foreign investment. I want the entire entertainment industry to know about it. If there is a project that comes to your door, you can send me the relevant information.

I will give you an answer after review. "Cao Mang finally said.

"Okay, Mr. Cao." The two replied in unison.

"Today's meeting ends here. If you have any questions, please call me." After Cao Mang finished speaking, he turned off Deep Blue Chat.

Deep Blue Film and Television Headquarters, CDB Golden Central Building, Futian District.

After Tommy exited the video conference, he opened the company chat group.

Tommy: "The big boss just gave me an order. The company will invest in five TV dramas before the end of the year. Don't want those fried rice dramas in Hong Kong, and don't want fantasy dramas and fairy tale dramas. The plot must be reasonable and not insult the audience's IQ.

If you colleagues have a good script, you can recommend the script to me.Successful referrals can get 50 rewards.

It can be in the form of cooperation or sole proprietorship. "

The people in the group were completely excited after seeing this news. Since they joined Deep Blue Film and Television, they have been live broadcasting or bringing goods. They didn't expect the company to invest in TV dramas so soon.

And it is still shooting five TV series at one time.

This means that each of them has the opportunity to perform. Although live broadcasting and bringing goods are more profitable than acting, who is willing to give up acting.

As for the 50 bonus, it doesn't matter to them at all.

Because they have made more money since they joined Deep Blue Film and Television in Douyin for live broadcasting and delivery of goods.

Those actors who are live broadcasting or taking a break have picked up their mobile phones to send text messages or call friends who have relevant resources.

Office of the President of Shenlan Technology Industrial Park.

Cao Mang opened another chat group in Deep Blue Chat.

This chat group is the Deep Blue Smart Home Chat Group. Cao Mang pulled them into the group after Deep Blue Chat went online.

Cao Mang sent a PPT file to the chat group. The content of the PPT was what he told Rebus last time. He hoped that home appliance manufacturers could use kiwi fruit as the main desktop of the TV.

Kiwi will provide users with video content without advertisements.

Of course, this free-service service is not free. Deep Blue will charge 500 yuan for each TV, so that customers can enjoy kiwifruit advertising-free service permanently.

However, this service is limited to free content, and paid content cannot be viewed.

Li Dongsheng: "Mr. Cao, it's okay to set Deep Blue Video to the desktop, but you still have to charge an ad-free service fee. This is not an indirect increase in the price of the TV. This will make it difficult to sell our TVs."

Zhang Ruimin: "Mr. Cao, the competition in the TV market is so fierce now. If our cost increases by another five hundred, our products will not be able to compete with foreign brands."

Jia Shaoqian: "Mr. Cao, you are free of advertising to win customers for yourself, but charging us 500 yuan is a bit unreasonable."

Cao Mang: "Bosses, when I launch this product, I don't mean to force everyone to buy it. You can try to launch an ad-free version of the TV, and then everyone will know which version is better.

But setting Deep Blue Video to desktop is a must.

Unless everyone doesn’t buy BOE’s Phoenix panels, the channel fee that should be given to Deep Blue Video will not be less than a penny. Of course, BOE will not cut off your products because of this.

However, if everyone does not launch an ad-free version of TV, Deep Blue Technology can only end up fighting with everyone in person. I believe everyone is unwilling to see Deep Blue Technology come into play.

You must know that Deep Blue Technology is much cheaper than everyone else.

After all, BOE's Phoenix uses the technology of Deep Blue Technology.

In addition to Deep Blue Technology, Rice is currently a shareholder of Deep Blue Video. The TVs that Rice will launch in the future will all be ad-free versions. By then, everyone will have to face more enemies than Deep Blue. "

Everyone was silent when they heard Cao Mang's words. Cao Mang was using conspiracy to force them. Once Shen Lan ends up fighting with them, their future life will be difficult.

After all, Deep Blue Video and Phoenix Panel are both products of Deep Blue Technology.

Let’s not talk about whether BOE will sell panels to them. Even if Deep Blue launches an ad-free version of TV, their products will not be able to compete with Deep Blue. Deep Blue does not need to charge this fee for its own products.

At the same price, Deep Blue launched a TV without advertisements. The TVs they launched need to watch advertisements, and they can know which brand of TV consumers will choose without watching.

What's more, Deep Blue's brand effect is no worse than theirs. By then it will be too late for them to regret it.

Of course, they can also choose to cooperate with Penguin Video or Tudou Youku.

However, it is still a question of whether they can buy Phoenix panels by then.

This kind of enterprise that monopolizes upstream products is really terrible.
