Chapter 115

Seeing someone come in, the HBO representative put down his aggressive attitude.

Wang Jian shook hands with Reid and invited them to sit down.

He looked at the two groups of people sitting at the conference table, and began to calculate.

Just from the representative discourse of HBO, we know that the other party is not just coming to prison break.

And this reed Hastings, who is willing to give up part of the producer's power, obviously wants a lot.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce you. This is the representative of HBO."

"This is reed Hastings from Los Angeles, who is also interested in investing in the prison break prequel."

The two sides looked at each other.

The representative of HBO is OK, only when the other party is an investor who wants to enter the entertainment industry.

Reed frowned.

HBO's business model, in a sense, is very similar to its own vision of future enterprises.

Wang Jian took out two documents and handed them to both sides. "This is the current ratings of prison break and the audience evaluation."

"This is the profit margin of prison break so far."

Wang Jian handed the two documents to both sides.

"Now, let's talk about your offer."

"HBO intends to carry out in-depth cooperation with the website," the representative of HBO put the document aside. "In addition to the prequel of prison break, we also hope to get the priority to adapt other works of the website."

"As a price, HBO promises that every adaptation will be on the TV network instead of snow."

"However, each adaptation can only be shown on HBO. After the broadcast, HBO also has the right to buy out the copyright of the film and television works. "

Hehe, how overbearing.

Wang Jian nodded noncommittally and looked at reed.

Reed stares at the HBO representative for a moment, then opens his briefcase and pulls out a document.

"Mr. Wang, may I have a private talk?"

After winning the consent of the HBO representative, Wang Jian took Reid to his office.

"I don't know what Mr. Wang thinks of the current video tape Market in the United States?" Reed sat in his office chair and handed Wang a document.

Wang Jian took the document and read it.

In the current video products market, Blackstar is the absolute overlord, occupying nearly 50% of the absolute advantage.

And its new stores are increasing.

But then Wang Jian frowned again.

Although the number of blockbuster chain stores is increasing, the turnover of individual stores is declining.

This...

"hehe, Mr. Wang must be very surprised at the fact that Blackstar has a large number of new stores, why does the total profit decrease?"

Wang gradually nodded and looked at Reid in doubt.

"First, homogenization is serious. Blackstar does not have its own unique things, they are just a resource integrator. "

"With the operation of some small video rental shops, it will inevitably impact the fundamentals of Blackstar."

"On the other hand," Reed pulled out a newspaper, "we have to thank HBO for a good start."

Wang Jian took over the newspaper and found that there was a piece of news in it.

According to the news, in just 95 years, five free TV networks have been transformed into pay TV networks.

Some of these TV stations focus on action movies, while others focus on art movies.

A large number of video rental users began to turn into pay TV users.

"So, Mr. Wang. Why don't we have in-depth cooperation? "

"We don't want much, as long as the exclusive right to sell the video," Reid suggested

He took out a business plan and handed it to Wang Jian.

"This is the plan I drafted in a few days."

"Above is the development plan, and the concrete cooperation method."

"Please give me a reply as soon as you have read it carefully."

After that, he handed Wang Jian a business card and left.

Sitting in his office chair, Wang Jian glanced at the planning book, and could not help sighing in his heart.

What a ambition!

He would call Tom from an inside line and say, "send the HBO representative away first and say I'll think it over."

"I understand."

In this business plan, it gives a brief description of Reed's video rental industry.

Then, I spent a lot of time on how to cooperate.

Basically, reed will invest a certain amount of money in proportion according to the number of people paying for each work.

He does not participate in the other profit sharing of the film and television play, as long as the exclusive video products of the film and television play are sold and earned.

As compensation, of course.Websites can't sell movies and TV plays to pay channels within three years of their premiere.

Wang Jian pondered over HBO's plan and Reid's plan.

At this time, Helsinki, Finland.

In the office building of Nokia, a world famous mobile phone manufacturer.

The next senior manager's engineer is watching the next product demo.

"It's called the Nokia 9000. It's the most advanced mobile phone in the world today."

"It not only adds the functions of sending and receiving faxes, mails and messages, but also has a full keyboard."

"Most importantly, it supports Internet access both in hardware and software."

"This should be the first real 2G mobile phone in the world!"

One investor picked up the Nokia 9000 with great interest and played with it.

But in a few minutes.

The investor frowned and looked at the engineer.

"The so-called Internet, can only read text messages?"

"Er..." the engineer took a look at the investor, "under the current technical conditions, it is most appropriate to read text messages."

"That's what you want," the investor said, closing the phone. "To challenge Motorola, the dominant player in the mobile phone market?"

"Do you know what it's like to open my eight year old son's Web collection?"

"What's the attraction of reading text information on the Internet

"Er..." the engineer stuttered and couldn't answer, while scolding the investors in his heart.

Your son's favorites are all muscular men!

At this time, an engineer hired from the United States raised his hand.

"In fact, if you only look at the words, it will still have a certain attraction."

"Oh?" The investor looked at the speaker with a smile, "then show me."

The young man went to the rostrum, picked up his mobile phone and started to press the key

then an English website appeared on the big screen of the conference room.

Just because of the transmission speed, this website is very slow to open.

After waiting for a while, the young people simply click on the first link on the home page of the website.

Then, the plain text page will load out quickly.

The investors frowned and looked at the big screen

"What is it?"
