Chapter 599

Dong Xiaoxue has officially resigned from the Commercial Printing House and joined Facebook as a senior vice president, fully responsible for Facebook video and Facebook music projects.

After the Facebook video and Facebook music projects were merged into Facebook, a separate division was established called "Facebook Entertainment"!
Dong Xiaoxue is the person in charge of Facebook Entertainment.

She can be regarded as an "airborne soldier". She took up a senior management position when she first arrived, but Dong Xiaoxue has this qualification. She was originally a deputy editor-in-chief in a large state-owned enterprise.

Therefore, this appointment did not arouse any doubts in the company, and Cai Congxin warmly welcomed Dong Xiaoxue's arrival.

In the afternoon, I will report to Yu Wenfei. This is also the first time that Dong Xiaoxue has officially reported to the boss. Dong Xiaoxue has discussed with Cai Congxin several times about Facebook video and music copyright acquisitions and future development routes. Now that the plan is mature, Cai Congxin will It is suggested that she come over and give Yu Wenfei a comprehensive report.

Ordinarily, she and Cai Congxin can make a decision on this kind of matter directly, and there is no need to report to Yu Wenfei again, but Cai Congxin and she are both good people.

They all understand a truth, that is, the boss may say, "Just make up your mind, don't tell me." I'm relieved to do it for you, let's do it boldly" and so on...

But if you really take it seriously, make your own decisions on everything, and never tell the boss, then your path will really be narrowed!

The boss may really trust you and believe that you can do this well, but after all, he is the boss, and all you spend is his money, so when you really have to make any major decisions, you must discuss with the boss in advance. communicate.It is possible that the boss will behave indifferently, even impatiently, thinking that you are too busy, but this is all an illusion!

If you really don't report it and make your own decision, that would be stupid behavior.

Of course Yu Wenfei is not the kind of narrow-minded boss, and he is indeed willing to delegate power to his subordinates, such as Cai Congxin and Effie, who are all subordinates he can trust.

But Cai Congxin and Dong Xiaoxue would rather do more than take risks.

…………

Led by the blond-haired and blue-eyed Peier, Dong Xiaoxue walked through the secretariat and into Yu Wenfei's big office. Dong Xiaoxue was filled with emotions.

More than three years ago, when she and Yu Wenfei met for the first time, they were still young teenagers.Wearing sportswear, staying in a cheap business fast hotel, and entertaining himself with various cold drinks bought from the small shop below.

Now, look at the spectacle!

There are six secretaries alone, and there are foreign girls among them!

"Mr. Fei, Mr. Dong is here." Pei'er reminded softly.

Yu Wenfei was staring at the computer screen, not knowing what to look at. After hearing what Pei Er said, he raised his head, with a smile on his face, stood up and welcomed, "Haha, Mr. Dong, you should still get used to it here."

On this occasion, of course Dong Xiaoxue would not call "Xiao Fei" again, and she also put on a smile on her face, "Thank you Mr. Fei for your concern, I am used to it, my colleagues on Facebook are very kind to me, and Mr. Cai also takes good care of me. "

Yu Wenfei stretched out his hand to signal her to sit down on the sofa in the reception area. Without his order, Pei Er had already brought two cups of fragrant coffee.

"Mr. Fei, I'm here to report to you about the film and television music copyright acquisition plan, as well as the launch date of the Facebook video and Facebook music." Dong Xiaoxue opened the folder in her hand and said seriously.

Holding a coffee cup, Yu Wenfei nodded slightly.

"Facebook currently has connections with major music companies because of its celebrity entry plan, so it is relatively easy to acquire song copyrights.

At present, there are five in the world... no, it should be said to be four, because Sony has just acquired BMG.That is, there are Sony, Warner, Universal and EMI, the four major record companies.These companies basically monopolize all singer resources in the world, including Chinese singers! "Dong Xiaoxue talked eloquently.

Although Yu Wenfei has heard about these things, he is not very clear about them. After all, he has not had in-depth contact with the entertainment industry. Even in his dreams, at most he has only contacted some female stars.

Dong Xiaoxue went on to say: "So it is relatively easy to acquire the music copyright of songs. As long as the four major record companies are settled, all the popular and classic songs on the market can be caught at once! But the song, I discussed it with Mr. Cai, and we only plan to Spend a budget of up to million dollars on this!"

"Oh? Is million US dollars enough? Although there are few record companies, they have formed a relative monopoly just because they are few. I'm afraid their appetite is too big." Yu Wenfei reminded.

Dong Xiaoxue smiled slightly, took a sip from the coffee cup in a calm manner, and replied, "Mr. Fei, you haven't cared about the record industry, have you?"

This is true, why does Yu Wenfei care about that? Although he usually listens to music, he usually prefers to listen to old songs, and rarely pays attention to the current pop stars.

"It is no exaggeration to say that the current record industry is dying! The situation is more serious than that of the publishing industry!" Dong Xiaoxue said bluntly.

Yu Wenfei was a little surprised. Although he also knew that records and tapes must be getting harder and harder to sell, and the impact of the Internet was too great, but is it so serious that the entire industry is about to die?

"Nowadays, singers basically pay for every record they release! There are free song resources everywhere on the Internet, who would buy record tapes? How much is an MP3, and the cheaper ones may only cost two or three hundred, but You can download all the songs you want to listen to from the Internet! How much is a CD? Only when celebrities hold concerts can they barely maintain operations.

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.

 Today is the end of the month, let's clear up your monthly tickets, don't waste them.Reminder, there is no voting limit now, just vote!
