The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

April 2017, 4, US time.

CAA Headquarters in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.

Yue Jianwen, the person in charge of reel short, met Dalton Abdullah, the marketing manager of CAA.

"Hello, Mr. Dalton." Yue Jianwen stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party and said with a smile.

"Mr. Yue, I wonder if your company is going to invest in a movie or a TV series?" Dalton Abdullah smiled after shaking hands.

"What our company wants to invest in is not a movie or a TV series, but a short play with a content of one to two minutes." Yue Jianwen said.

"Mr. Yue, when you find CAA, you must have some understanding of CAA's employment system. Even if you only shoot a video of one to two minutes, we still calculate it on an hourly basis. I don't know if the skit you just mentioned is an advertisement or something. type of video?" Dalton Abdo asked.

In Dalton Abdul's opinion, the small business of filming a minute or two can be completed by just finding a pheasant team in Hollywood. The other party found him to be overqualified.

"Mr. Dalton, the so-called short dramas are actually still TV dramas, but the duration is shortened to one to two minutes. Each short drama is about one or two hundred episodes. I understand CAA's employment system, and I hope CAA can help We provide a full range of services," Yue Jianwen said.

After hearing Yue Jianwen's explanation, Dalton Abdul also had a certain understanding of this so-called short play.

"So that's it. I wonder what level Mr. Yue needs?" Dalton Abdul said as if he had a sudden realization.

"We don't have very high requirements for actors and directors. As long as their acting skills are good enough to complete the filming tasks, the only requirement is that the actors are beautiful enough. As long as they are beautiful, we plan to invest in the filming of 300 short plays at one time. " Yue Jianwen said.

Even if the cost of a short play is only 10 U.S. dollars, shooting 300 short plays will cost 3000 million U.S. dollars, which means he can draw a commission of 300 million U.S. dollars. These commissions are only for the full service. In addition, he can also Collect commissions from actors, directors, and stage managers.

In other words, after completing the filming of these 600 short plays, he can draw a commission of US$ million.

A commission of 600 million is not a small sum for him.

The most important thing is that Yue Jianwen's requirements are very low, as long as he looks beautiful.

"Mr. Yue, I wonder when and how you plan to film these 300 short plays?" Dalton Abdul immediately asked with an aunt-like smile.

"We plan to shoot these 300 short dramas at the same time. We have already prepared the relevant scripts. CAA only needs to introduce the producers to us and coordinate the filming of these 300 short dramas first. Our budget for the short dramas is 15 -20 In this way, the main camera will be provided by ourselves.

If CAA can guarantee that there is no problem with the quality of the film, we can contract it to CAA at a price of US$6000 million. " Yue Jianwen said.

Dalton was overjoyed when he heard what Yue Jianwen said. CAA will receive a commission of 1200 million for completing this order. He personally can get 240 million US dollars. This business can be regarded as a big business.

"Mr. Yue, CAA is fully capable of completing the filming of these 300 short dramas. I wonder how your company plans to pay?" Dalton Abdul smiled.

"We can pay 30% of the fee during the preparation period, 30% of the fee halfway through the shooting, another 30% of the fee after the shooting is completed, and the last 10% will be paid after the acceptance is completed." Yue Jianwen said.

"CAA is willing to accept your company's entrustment." Dalton Abdul extended his hand and smiled.

As long as Yue Jianwen was willing to shake hands with him, it meant that the deal between the two parties was concluded, and Yue Jianwen extended his hand to shake Dalton's hand just as Dalton wanted.

"Mr. Dalton, we have finished talking about business matters. How about we talk about personal matters?" Yue Jianwen said with a smile.

"I wonder what personal matter Mr. Yue wants to talk about?" Dalton Abdul asked with a smile.

"I don't know if Mr. Dalton is interested in working at reel short. If Mr. Dalton is willing to work at reel short, I can arrange for Mr. Dalton to become the general manager of content production at reel short. Behind our reel short is Deep Blue Group." Yue Jianwen said.

"Is Deep Blue Group behind reel short?" Dalton Abdul asked in surprise.

"Yes, reel short is actually a new APP. This APP is somewhat different from Douyin. reel short's main business is short plays. If Mr. Dalton is willing to work at reel short, the salary will be equal to your existing salary. The salary will be increased by 50%, and the company will use part of the revenue as a bonus at the end of the year.

I believe Mr. Dalton’s income in reel short is at least two to three times what he is now. " Yue Jianwen said.

"Can you tell me the business model of reel short?" Dalton Abdul asked in surprise.

Although the products of Deep Blue Group are very good, Dalton did not want to switch to reel short before confirming reel short's business model.

Yue Jianwen took out a confidentiality agreement from his backpack and handed it to the other party. After Dalton confirmed that there was no problem, he signed his name and pressed his fingerprints.

"As I just told you, reel short's main business is short dramas, but reel short is not free. We will make the first 5 episodes free for the audience to watch. If the audience thinks this short drama is good, watch it Subsequent short plays require payment to reel short.

We will charge a price of 25 cents to 1 US dollar per episode, and the specific price will be calculated based on the production cost of the short drama.

According to our estimates, reel short’s annual revenue can reach at least tens of billions. " Yue Jianwen said.

"Yue, I personally am not very optimistic about reel short's business model." Dalton Abdul said after thinking about it.

"It doesn't matter, even if Mr. Dalton doesn't want to come to reel short to work, as long as Dalton provides good service at reel short, it will be fine." Yue Jianwen said with a smile.

Yue Jianwen believes that Dalton Abdul will regret it after reel short is launched, but if Dalton wants to come to reel short to work, he will no longer be able to provide such treatment.

It will be 4 a.m. on April 29th, US time.

Google and Microsoft announced a piece of news that shocked everyone in the financial industry.

[Google and Microsoft each invested 350 billion to acquire the shares of European Micro Program held by Deep Blue Technology. After the acquisition is completed, Google will become the largest shareholder of Micro Program, and European Micro Program will also be listed on Nasdaq this year. 】

"I remember that Micro Program was only established for one year. Is a company that has been established for one year so valuable?"

"There shouldn't be any benefit transfer here."

"If you read the announcement carefully, you will know why it is so valuable. Last year, European microprogram revenue reached 370 billion U.S. dollars, and its net profit reached 180 billion U.S. dollars.

Calculated based on 20 times PE, the market value of European Micro Programs should be 3600 ​​billion. Deep Blue Technology holds 40% of the shares of European Micro Programs, which means that the market value of these shares is at least 1440 billion.

Nowadays, Fruit and Microsoft are definitely making money in this deal by acquiring European micro-programs for 700 billion. "

"According to what you said, the European microprogram should be a golden rooster that can lay golden eggs. Why did Deep Blue Technology sell the European microprogram? Could it be that Microsoft and Google broke with Deep Blue Technology? Breaking with Deep Blue Technology would be detrimental to them. It’s not a good thing to say.”

"Only the president of Deep Blue Technology knows about this kind of thing."

Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California.

Sundar Pichai called Android management into the conference room for a meeting after announcing the acquisition of European microprograms. “According to statistics, the number of mobile users since the launch of the Pegasus system has reached 2.1 million. The Pegasus system has now become the third largest operating system in the world. In order to prevent the Pegasus system from continuing to erode the market share of the Android system.

I plan to stop providing framework services to the Pegasus system. What do you think? Sundar Pichai asked, looking at everyone present.

Many executives present looked at Sundar Pichai like an idiot. How dare he stop providing framework services to the Pegasus system.

"Boss, I don't agree with your approach. Android is seeking a dead end by doing this. All semiconductor companies are using Deep Blue's technology. If we stop providing framework services to Deep Blue, can Deep Blue ask semiconductor companies to stop supporting Android? .

Once the new semiconductor chip does not support the Android system or does not optimize Android.

The Android system will become the next Symbian system. Google has no capital to fall out with Deep Blue, and the acquisition of Micro Program is also a very stupid decision.

This is equivalent to severing our cooperative relationship with Deep Blue. I will appeal to the board of directors about this matter. "Chief Operating Officer Franken Sullivan looked at Sundar, the Asan, with a look of disgust and said.

In Franken Sullivan's opinion, Sundar Pichai's approach is simply stupid.

Deep Blue is no longer the Deep Blue it used to be, and Google is no longer the Google it is now. Sundar doesn’t want to think about how to deepen cooperation with Deep Blue, but instead thinks about how to limit the development of Deep Blue. If it could limit the Semiconductor Association, it would have already been restricted. Where can I get it? They are the only software developers to limit it.

"Franken, I just want to see what you think. Your opinion is not important to me at all. I have already known about this to the board of directors, and the board of directors has already approved this proposal." Sundar Pichai said Said with a face.

He had already reported to the board of directors regarding the acquisition of Micro Program and the cessation of providing framework services to Deep Blue Technology.

He has also reported relevant response plans to the board of directors.

Since Deep Blue Technology launched the Pegasus system, Google and Deep Blue Technology have become mortal enemies, and the two parties have lost the need to continue cooperation.

According to Sundar Pichai, Android's current situation is worse than they imagined.

Since Fruit authorized third-party manufacturers, Fruit has continued to erode Android's market share, and Pegasus has made Android appear to be in danger. If Android wants to survive, the only way is to go to war with Deep Blue Technology.

The first step in starting a war with Deep Blue is to inhibit the development of Pegasus. The first step is to stop providing framework services to Deep Blue.

The second step is to break down the technical barriers between Android and Windows systems, so that Android programs can interoperate with Windows programs.

Sundar Pichai and Microsoft's Brad Smith have communicated that neither of them alone can challenge Deep Blue. The only way is for Google and Microsoft to join forces to fight against Deep Blue Technology.

This is also the reason why Google will join forces with Microsoft to acquire European micro-programs.

The third step is to increase investment in Google mobile phones and seize market share through independent brands.

As for chips, they do not plan to use Deep Blue's unified memory architecture. They will secretly set up a research and development center to jointly develop chips. Their goal is to rise up Intel and AMD to produce their own chips, forming a complete ecosystem like fruit. closed loop.

Both Sundar Pichai and Brad Smith are well aware of the horror of Deep Blue Technology.

The management present didn't know what to say when they heard Sundar say this. Since you have already informed the board of directors about this matter, why do you still want us to express our thoughts?

In fact, Sundar Pichai did this just as a routine matter. The purpose was to let the management know about it and let them cooperate with his plan to complete the work.

"Since everyone has no objections, let's implement my plan." Sundar Pichai said.

Alphonse Boll, who was lying in bed playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, turned off the game after eating chicken.

Because he needed to go out for a job interview in the afternoon, he planned to search for the destination on Google Maps, but he did not expect that a pop-up prompt on Google Maps was unavailable.

"Wodefa, why can't Google Maps work? Jalil, can your Google Maps work?" Alphonse Bol looked at his roommate Jalil Amato and asked.

"There's no problem with mine." Alphonse Bohr said after picking up the iPhone 8 on the table and opening Google Maps.

"I can't seem to use mine anymore," said another roommate, Valentin Santana.

"Let me help you search to see what's going on." After Jalil Amato said that, he started typing on the keyboard to search for relevant information.

When he saw the information he searched for on the Google search engine, he was shocked. He did not expect that Google would dare to stop providing framework services to Deep Blue Technology.

"Google announced that it will completely stop providing framework services to Deep Blue, including Deep Blue phones using Android systems. You can use HERE WeGo." Jalil Amato said.

HERE WeGo is an internationally renowned map software that was pre-installed on Nokia mobile phones.

Although its user base in the United States is relatively small, HERE WeGo has a high reputation globally.

HERE WeGo provides basic navigation functions, including route planning, real-time traffic information, etc. In terms of point-of-interest search, HEREWeGo's data is relatively rich, covering restaurants, shopping malls, attractions and other types of facilities.

"Damn Google," Alphonse Bohr cursed.

Technical Director Milton Reeves rubbed his eyes as he looked at the skyrocketing downloads.

"Charlie, look to see if someone is attacking our server?" Milton Reeves immediately stood up and pushed open the office door and shouted.

"Head, have our downloads skyrocketed?" Charlie Graf asked.

"Yeah, you know what's going on?" Milton Reeves asked.

"Google has just announced that it will stop providing framework services to Deep Blue mobile phones. Deep Blue users can only download our maps and use them." Charlie Graf said unhurriedly.

"Wardey?" Milton Reeves asked in surprise.

This is wealth and honor from heaven. It is finally their turn to have this wealth and honor.

Milton Reeves closed the door of his office and ran to the chairman's office. If they catch this unprecedented wealth this time, their share may surpass Google. (End of chapter)
