Our plan is like this, of course we will buy all the Chinese songs.Of course, we only buy online copyrights, which does not affect their offline copyrights, and now those record companies don't have any money for online copyrights!It is used for nothing by those pirated music software and websites, so if we pay for it, the price will definitely not be high.
As for foreign language songs, we only want the most popular and classic songs, and we don't want those niche and less well-known ones.In this way, it is estimated that it will not cost much.Of course, the specific price is still to be negotiated.When it comes to the total budget, it is only [-] million US dollars. "Dong Xiaoxue sighed.
Yes, although he has a huge sum of money, he can still budget carefully. Dong Xiaoxue's work is reassuring, and Yu Wenfei nodded his approval.
With Yu Wenfei's affirmation, Dong Xiaoxue was full of confidence and continued to explain her plan.
"Film and television copyright, this is the big head! Besides, in addition to the copyright of classic film and television works, we also need to be prepared to purchase new film and television works every year. Therefore, this part is more troublesome. At present, we plan to invest a budget of [-] million US dollars , to purchase high-quality works, as for those shoddy film and television dramas, there is no need to buy them. The money saved will be used to purchase new works in the future." Dong Xiaoxue frowned and said.
Obviously, in terms of film and television dramas, she is not very sure.
The song industry is dead, but TV dramas and movies are still booming.
The box office of movies is getting higher and higher, and TV dramas are supported by so many TV stations. Good TV dramas are not cheap!
Therefore, Dong Xiaoxue can only purchase high-quality products as much as possible, and cannot pursue quantity, and also considers the cost of buying new TV series and movies in the future.
"Don't think too far for now, try to buy as many copyrights as possible in the early stage. As for the purchase cost in the future, after Facebook goes public, it will add a large amount of budget to your department." Yu Wenfei said with a smile.
Of course he knows that, although at this stage, the copyright fees for film and television dramas are much higher than those for songs, but that is only relative.
In the absence of competitors, even if the film and television series are expensive, they are not so expensive.
It can be said that he dares to buy any film and television drama company now that asks for a price, because if you buy it, you will make money!
If a bunch of competitors appear in two years, the prices of film and television dramas will rise, and it will not be the current price!
When it comes to money, in Yu Wenfei's mind, money is really not a problem.
Even if Facebook no longer conducts financing, it will go public at the end of the year and early next year at the latest. When it goes public, it can still make a lot of money.
What is the money used for? Facebook itself doesn’t need too much money, the main thing is to invest in Facebook videos and Facebook music, especially Facebook videos!
Video is definitely an important part of the pan-entertainment ecology of the Facebook family company, and it will also be the most "gold-swallowing" department.
Moreover, in Yu Wenfei's vision, this department is not just a simple video website. With the development of the Internet, this department will also evolve, such as short videos, such as live broadcasts, these are all video-related industries!
It's just that the conditions are not yet ripe, and there is no need to launch it for the time being.
In time, there may be subsidiaries such as "Facebook Short Video" and "Facebook Live" under the Facebook video, and there may even be a film company that casts, shoots and broadcasts TV series and movies by itself!
In another ten years, Facebook Entertainment will be half of the domestic entertainment industry!
The same is true of Yu Wenfei's goals and expectations for Facebook Entertainment.
…………
Dong Xiaoxue left happily, and with the support of the big boss, she was full of confidence and firmly believed that under her control, Facebook Entertainment would inevitably develop into a behemoth capable of controlling the domestic entertainment industry.
In the office, Yu Wenfei got up and moved his body, and told Hu Jingjing, "Mr. Cai, please come over."
The conversation between him and Dong Xiaoxue was a bit overtime. Cai Congxin had already been here once, but after asking Hu Jingjing at the door, he went back after learning that Yu Wenfei was talking with Dong Xiaoxue.
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the lush trees in the park and the small lake with rippling blue waves, Yu Wenfei began to think about the upcoming board meeting of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank.
This time, the board of directors will decide on a few more important matters, and it is time to launch the WeChat project that I have been hiding for a long time.
Chapter 601 Family Bucket (Happy May Day)
After listening to Cai Congxin's report on the work of Facebook, Yu Wenfei pondered for a while and brought up another matter.
"Congxin, the company has a WeChat project, you know it?"
Cai Congxin nodded. The entire Facebook company and its internal offices all use WeChat software. How could he not know.
WeChat not only has an online instant chat function, but also can create groups for meetings and discussions, and recently launched an email system.
To be honest, the online chat function, WeChat is much easier to use than QQ. The entire software interface is simple, interactive functions are friendly, and there are not many functions but extremely practical. Cai Congxin has always wondered whether this WeChat is Yu Wenfei’s plan to deal with QQ. Big killer!"This software will definitely be launched and promoted, but I don't know when Yu Wenfei plans to release it.Hearing him mention this matter today, it is estimated that WeChat will be officially released.
Thinking of this, he was a little excited.
Facebook has already monopolized the domestic social platforms in fact, and it is considered to be two social giants on par with Tencent's QQ, but one is weakly social and the other is strong socially. The product attributes are different, but there is not much conflict.
However, Cai Congxin has always had a dream, that is, if the Facebook company kills Tencent's QQ!What will happen...
It is obvious that the Facebook family will monopolize the social network in China!At that time, it can be said that in the domestic Internet industry, other companies can only rely on the face of the Facebook family, and no company is qualified to challenge the Facebook family.
He guessed right, Yu Wenfei said calmly: "WeChat will be launched soon, and the public beta will be officially launched. At that time, Facebook will be needed to cooperate and share the user database."
Yu Wenfei's meaning is very clear, that is, after WeChat goes online, it will directly divert Facebook's user resources to it!
At that time, users do not need to re-register WeChat account at all, and can log in directly with their own Facebook account, and the friend relationship on Facebook will also be directly transferred to WeChat!
To put it bluntly, WeChat should stand on the "shoulders" of Facebook to develop!
Just "born", you have the qualification and confidence to challenge QQ!
Facebook has more than 2 million users. By the way, Tencent's QQ has just announced that the number of QQ users has also exceeded the [-] million mark.
If there is no foundation of Facebook's user resources, and WeChat alone can work hard, then it is really not qualified to challenge QQ, but now it is completely different.
Cai Congxin hesitated for a moment. He is the vice president of Facebook Technology, the CEO of Facebook, and one of the minority shareholders of the Facebook company. It stands to reason that he wants to consider the interests of the Facebook company.
But...WeChat is not a Facebook project, Yu Wenfei put this project on the Star Technology Company!
Does this count as benefit transfer?
WeChat directly uses Facebook's user resources, will other shareholders agree?
Of course Cai Congxin didn't want to object to Yu Wenfei's proposal, and he didn't have the courage to refuse, but he hesitated because he would be legally responsible for this kind of thing!In case the rest of the shareholders disagree and sue him for colluding with Yu Wenfei to harm the company's interests, both of them will be unable to bear it.
"Um... President Fei, do you need to inform other shareholders about this?" Cai Congxin asked cautiously, watching Yu Wenfei's face while talking.
Of course Yu Wenfei understood what he meant, and said with a faint smile: "No need, Congxin, you may have forgotten one thing. When our company reorganized and divested several projects, we signed an agreement, that is, between various projects. , data is interoperable, and resources are shared! Now, Facebook is going to provide user resources for WeChat, and when WeChat develops, it will also feed back Facebook companies. I think all shareholders have a long-term vision and a grand layout. I can’t figure it out.”
It was only then that Cai Congxin suddenly realized, no wonder Yu Wenfei made that request so directly, it turned out that the groundwork had already been laid.
The so-called agreement should have been signed before he came here, or even before the Facebook company raised funds. He couldn't help but look at Yu Wenfei with admiration.
As my own boss, I think so far...
…………
In fact, Facebook is not the only one that "escorts" the launch of WeChat, even Facebook games will provide assistance.
In the Facebook game platform under development, relevant new functions have been added, which can seamlessly connect with WeChat.
The user resources of the Facebook game platform are originally interoperable with Facebook, but the game friends and social friends of ordinary people may not be exactly the same, so the user database of the Facebook game platform will also be shared with WeChat.After WeChat goes online, when users log in for the first time, two groups will appear in the friends list, namely "Facebook Friends" and "Facebook Game Friends"!
