Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 133 Traffic is King (asking for monthly tickets and rewards)

Fang Hong stayed in the evening as usual and left without staying for long.

Liu Xiaoli was about to chase him away, but even though she said that, she shamelessly didn't leave, and she still felt a little embarrassed.

Liu Tianxian gave him a set of sportswear from a very famous brand. Fang Hong put it on the next day. He didn't wear it to exercise, but just wore it as casual clothes.

"Hey, Xiaohong, when did you buy this clothes?" Xu Liyun saw it, but had never seen it before.

"It was given by Liu Tianxian. He didn't even give her a suit or anything. It's so ugly." Fang Hong said.

I really can’t praise Liu Tianxian’s poor taste, but fortunately she has enough money to buy big brands.

It’s a big brand, how ugly can it be!

"I gave it to you and you still despise it."

Xu Liyun took her son's arm and looked at him: "It's quite nice, wear it."

"I'll ask her to send you a set someday." Fang Hong said.

"No, I have something to wear."

After chatting with his mother for a while, Fang Hong went to work as usual. As soon as he arrived at the company, he received a message from Liu Tianxian.

The message showed that he was told not to come in the afternoon because she and her mother were going out to play for two days and would then join the group.

Fang Hong replied with “OK”!
You don't even invite him when you go out to play, which means your relationship is not there yet.

In fact, it was Liu Xiaoli who brought her daughter there so that they could keep a certain distance from each other. If they stuck together every day, they would lose control and be seduced sooner or later.

In the afternoon, Wang Changtian came to Yutu to talk about the topic that had not been finished before, that is, the cooperation project.

Financial officer Meng Jun will also participate in this meeting.

This is a brand new project, and Fang Hong plans to let him carry it out.

Still in the office with the word "Frank" hanging on the wall.

The three of them sat facing each other in a triangle, and Fang Hong said, "Boss Wang, my project depends on how much money Boss Wang is willing to pay."

"I can still afford movies." Wang Changtian thought he was talking about movies.

Acting very confidently!
However, Fang Hong shook his head: "It's not a movie, I want to create a ticketing platform."

“Ticketing platform?”

Wang Changtian didn't react for a moment.

It’s just because there are very few Internet companies involved in this field now, let alone film and television companies, as they are not qualified.

"Yes, in the past, movie tickets were only sold offline. In the future, the situation will change and movie tickets will be sold online." Fang Hong briefly explained his idea.

This is no secret, and some people have already started doing it, such as Damai.com, which involves online ticket sales for concerts, dramas, musicals, sports events, etc.

Maoyan, which rose later, was not established until next year, but Maoyan is only good at movies.

If he does this, there will be no worries about film distribution, that is, if he has film resources, he can designate distribution.

The only bad thing is that it costs too much money. It costs too much money. If it doesn't spend more than ten billion a year, it will not be able to survive.

But as long as it is done well, it will be a very good publicity and promotion platform. Audiences can buy tickets on the online ticketing platform and can also see movie promotions at the same time.

It can be said that both distribution and promotion are involved.

However, he has few channels and limited funds, so people always accuse him of eating alone. So he decided to bring in capital to do the job.

Wang Changtian has many channels, including entertainment information, movies, TV advertising media, online and offline event programs, and other businesses.

For example, the Huabiao Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, Hundred Flowers Awards, and Chinese Music Billboards are all hosted by Guangzhou County.

All of these involve selling tickets or publicity. If we bring him in, it means we have these channels.

Of course, it is not enough to just have Guangxian County. We also need to bring in capital from other channels to do it together.

"We don't have the talent and funds in this area, so we can't afford it. We are not specialized in this field." Wang Changtian discovered that this was the Internet field.

"That's true, but I want to give it a try," Fang Hong said.

Wang Changtian thought about it and decided that this could indeed be done. If it was done well, the publishing capabilities would be much stronger. However, he felt that it was too realistic to do it now because the mobile side had not yet taken off, there was insufficient funding, and the technology was not in place.

It was only a few years later that he invested in Maoyan and entered this field.

But at that time, Maoyan had Tencent and Meituan’s large traffic pool behind it, and it was looking like it was on the rise!
You don’t have to make a choice, just spend money to join the game.

But if Yutu were to do it now, he would be a little hesitant, mainly because he felt that they did not have the strength to do it. If they invested rashly, their money would likely be wasted.

Yutu has only been established for more than a year, how can it be so awesome!
"How much money does Mr. Fang plan to invest?" Wang Changtian asked.

"I'm still unsure at this stage, but I'm determined to get to the bottom of it." Fang Hong said.

"Well, you guys do it first, and I'll go back and think about it." Wang Changtian said.

He wanted Fang Hong to try it first, and then he would take action when there was some progress. It was a good plan.

After all, this is not just a few dollars.

"Sure!" Fang Hong didn't care.

Anyway, the olive branch has been extended, and it is his business whether to accept it or not.

Wang Changtian originally approached Fang Hong to collaborate on a film project, with Guangguang investing the money and Yutu filming. Unexpectedly, Chang Fanghong arranged a ticketing project for him.

Let's wait and see. He is also interested in this thing, but it depends on who makes it. If it is Yutu, we will wait and see.

Fang Hong will not give up the movie because the content is his base and he will not share it with others.

After Wang Changtian left, Fang Hong said to Meng Jun, "Let's handle this ourselves, don't worry about it." "Okay, I'll arrange it," said Meng Jun.

During this period of time, Fang Hong and he have been planning the Tupiaopiao ticketing platform and have already come up with a preliminary plan.

But this plan will not be shown to Wang Chang. If he is willing to invest, he can be an investor and everyone can cooperate. If he is not willing to invest, then forget it.

Fang Hong must master the ticketing platform, nothing else, this is something that subverts the existing distribution model.

People in the future are used to buying tickets online.

To confirm this, Fang Hong met with Xu Yi from Hangzhou, the founder of Bilibili.

Now Bilibili is not in Shanghai, but in Hangzhou!

This platform is a platform for sharing videos and barrages, and later formed a cultural community unique to young people.

The platform features are similar to YouTube in foreign countries, but they are also different from YouTube because Bilibili started out by relying on two-dimensional animation.

That is, there are many people who like anime gathering there.

Currently, this platform has just started and is in its infancy. Even the mobile version has not been developed, and there are only three founders.

Every month, I take the advertising fees from Weibo, calculate the operating costs, and work hard.

There is no need to talk about traffic, many people have never heard of such a thing.

"Mr. Xu, one million dollars. I have acquired the platform. You will get 10% of the shares, which you can divide between you and your team." Fang Hong was very straightforward and strong.

That is 700 million, to acquire all the shares of Bilibili, and the three people will be given 10% of the shares.

Fang Hong now uses "knife" as the unit when speaking!

Of course, the general direction must be controlled by Fang Hong. He will not let Bilibili engage in a mess of things like cars, games, coffee, cosmetics, Hanfu, etc.

A big part of the reason why Bilibili lost money later was because of a guy named Chen Rui who made some blind investments after he came in.

On average, they invest in one company every seven days, which means they invest in more than fifty companies a year.

I have invested in all 365 industries. It would be strange if I didn't lose money.

There are not so many profitable companies for you to invest in. Without foresight, 90% of the investments will result in losses and waste of money.

Now that Fang Hong is in control, the future Bilibili will be a pure video sharing platform and a two-dimensional platform without any frills.

Just focus on making good mid-length videos and animations, and gather all the traffic from young people, and don’t do anything else.

In the future, content and traffic will be king. As long as Fang Hong grasps these two things, he will be able to soar to the sky.

Xu Yi felt a little uncomfortable with Fang Hong's strong style. After all, he was only 22 years old, born in 89, and had not experienced the hardships of society.

However, 700 million is already a huge sum of money for him, which can change the living conditions of him and his partners.

He asked weakly, "Mr. Fang, how are you going to arrange for me and my partner?"

That is, the three founders.

"You continue to serve as president, and the three of you continue to execute the development of Bilibili, but the general direction of development will be controlled by me." Fang Hong said.

Xu Yi and the other two founders are essentially tech geeks, but they just turned their hobbies into careers.

Just continue to develop their interests.

Many successful people are motivated by their interests.

Of course Fang Hong is not like that. He is doing it for future "traffic", but he knows how Bilibili should develop and how it should be positioned.

"Okay, I feel relieved with what Mr. Fang said." Xu Yi agreed, which meant he gave him both the position and the money.

What they lack most is money, and they just want to get out of their current predicament.

As for shares, they are valuable only if they develop, otherwise they are garbage.

"When you go back, discuss with your friends and move the headquarters to Beijing to change the working environment. I will invest 1 million yuan in advance, and this money will be used to improve the operating environment. I will also inject more capital in the future."

Fang Hong paused for a moment and said, "Also, the name Bilibili doesn't sound good, let's change it to Xiaopozhan!"

The 10 million will be used for Bilibili's operations, including network equipment, talent recruitment, technology development, etc. If it continues to grow, the amount of money will definitely not be limited to this.

But we can’t achieve it all at once, we need to lay a solid foundation at this stage first.

Xu Yi had no objection. They didn't have a headquarters at all. It was just a shabby rental house in Hangzhou.

Of course it would be better to come to Beijing for a better environment!

As for Bilibili changing to Xiaopozhan, the names are almost the same!

There was no obstacle to this matter. How could a few young people resist the temptation of money and the principal's tyranny?

It was easy to recruit!

However, Fang Hong can still afford this amount of money. "Beijing Meets Seattle" has been released for half a month and has grossed over 3.2 million yuan.

The box office has shown no signs of decline and has been very stable throughout, still fluctuating around 10 to 20 million, and sometimes even dropping to 30 million on weekends.

This is the most successful movie at the box office till date.

Nothing else, girls love to watch it, white-collar workers love to watch it!
During this period, Fang Hong's job was to spend money continuously, that is, to lay a solid foundation.

After laying a solid foundation, the next step is to use money to build a beautiful building.

Where does the money come from? It comes from the United States.
