Chapter 287: Exchange equity with Junzi?

[High-energy scene! Mr. Yang attended the road show of "Lost in Thailand" and made another golden quote! ]

[Mr. Yang is right. Don’t give young people a word of advice or anything like that. If you want to give something, just give them money! ]

[Hahaha, Master Shiguang is still as humorous as ever when he criticizes people. ]

[It is well-reasoned and irrefutable, and speaks out the voice of our young people! ]

【Sabi experts, Sabi beasts.】

As expected, what Yang Xiao said at the movie roadshow was recorded and posted online in a blink of an eye.

It quickly became a hot topic and caused a huge uproar.

Especially the phrase "If you want to give something, give money", which immediately became a hot word and was used by netizens for various memes.

Of course, the marketing team behind the movie "Lost in Thailand" is not just there to do the job.

I immediately took this opportunity to start taking advantage of the popularity of this movie.

[No, everyone's focus is off. Isn't anyone curious about why Mr. Yang attended the preview? Didn't you notice that there is a guest appearance in the cast of this movie called "Heart Flower Road"? ]

[Damn! Mr. Time also made a cameo appearance in the movie? ]

[Tsk, what's so strange about that? The producer is his company, so it's obviously invested by him. It must be a bad movie! ]

[Please stop spreading rumors above. I have watched the preview and can only say that it is an excellent domestic film, a true comedy road movie! ]

[+1, this movie is mainly supported by the movie emperors Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, their acting skills are online. ]

[Hahaha, the plot is so funny! The phrase "Oh my god" keeps buzzing in my head.]

[And the phrase "tattoos, he society", is it a dialect from Yunnan Province? 】

[Yes, that’s where the scene was taken.]

[Ma Su is so sexy! ]

[You are really hungry, but let me be frank. If Ma Su gives me something to eat, I will eat it.]

[The two above are so awesome, @Ma Su Fan Club, sisters, come and see that there are anti-fans here. ]

【.】

In the next two or three days, Yang Xiao attended three "Lost in Thailand" movie roadshows in a row, which helped to hype up the movie and increase its popularity.

The online water army began to write soft articles everywhere, praising from every aspect!

1: Actor’s acting skills.

2: Yang Xiao’s guest appearance is a highlight.

3: The scenery in the movie is beautiful!

Especially the third point, in addition to their own publicity channels.

There is another place that is also helping with publicity without any reservation.

That is the official Cultural and Tourism Bureau of Licheng and Dali!

They directly put movie posters on LED screens at major local bus stops and public places. Their intensity and sincerity can be said to be at full strength!

They even planned to ask all internal departments to pay for the movie when it was released, and invite all employees and their families to book a theater to watch it!

After all, this movie was originally created to promote tourism for them.

This movie is not only their facade, but also their endorsement!

It is their achievements in all aspects!

How can the official leaders not give strong support?

"Boss Yang, great news! The box office statistics for the first day of the release of "Lost in Thailand" are out, 1.75 million! And there are mostly positive reviews online, and the Douban score is currently around 8 points. The movie has a good reputation! At this rate, this movie will definitely break billion! Maybe we will create history in the Chinese film industry!"

The movie has officially been released, and Yang Xiao has also received the latest box office data reported by the staff.

The most excited ones were the main creative staff.

For example, Ning Hao, he is the fourth director to enter the 100 million yuan club, and now there is a high probability that he will be the first to enter the 1 billion yuan club.

Including Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and others, they will also have the title of billion-dollar box office actors.

This is a great honor in the industry.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was in the hotel where Wanhe Tianyi Company was holding a celebration banquet.

Xu Zheng and others had just finished their roadshow and were sitting at the same table with Yang Xiao.

They had just finished their latest roadshow promotions and rushed here in a hurry.

"Mr. Yang, I'd like to offer you a toast. Thank you for your invitation and investment."

Bald Xu Zheng came to Yang Xiao with a glass of wine in his hand and looked at him gratefully. "Lost in Thailand has come to an end. I will definitely not let you down. I'll drink it. Please do as you please!"

"No problem, Brother Shan Zheng, just do your best. I believe in your ability."

Yang Xiao picked up the wine glass and took a small sip symbolically. He then looked at the others at the table, including Ning Hao and Huang Bo, and said, "If you have any good scripts, you can come to me."

"Of course. Thank you Mr. Yang for providing the platform and for your support."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Several people thanked him one after another.

After finishing filming "Lost in Thailand", Xu Zheng took Yang Xiao's investment, and immediately brought in Huang Bo, and called on Baoqiang, with whom he had worked before, to start filming "Lost in Thailand".

Now that the first day results of "Lost in Thailand" are out, he knows that the box office will not be bad!

The best movie of the year has been booked!

Now he is under even greater pressure.

But for him, this is also a challenge.

He knew that the success of "Lost in Thailand" was inseparable from the resource promotion under Yang Xiao, and even the official promotion of Yunnan Province.

By then, will the marketing of "Lost in Thailand" also rely on Yang Xiao?

Of course, he was not worried about this because they all had signed several long-term agency contracts with Yang Xiao.

They have almost sold themselves to Wanhe Tianyi, and as for the rest, they just need to work hard on filming. Yang Xiao promised to provide funding and strong support.

After dealing with these actors, Yang Xiao turned the wine glass around, pulled Fan Jun, the current CEO of Wanhe Tianyi, and others, and said:
"Mr. Fan, Mr. Bai, you have worked hard over the past six months."

Fan Jun laughed and said teasingly: "Oh, what you said is quite human. You are so happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper."

Bai Zhongchun also smiled and echoed: "It's not hard, it's not hard. With General Manager Yang and General Manager Fan leading the charge, we have also made achievements, so it's all worth it."

Wanhe Tianyi has been in a process of rapid development in the past six months, and has achieved success in various fields of the film and television industry.

Short dramas such as "Never Expected That", produced by Yi Xiaoxing, have gained a large number of fans in the industry. Every time they premiere, the platform's playback volume remains high.

The animations "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes" and "Year Hare Affair" produced by YouYaoQi Animation DreamWorks are also very popular on Tudou and Bilibili.

Even the film industry is making a lot of money!
It's not just "Lost in Thailand" that is aiming for a billion box office. In the past six months, there has been a youth campus film produced by Wanhe Tianyi that hits the screen every month!
Among them is "You Are the One", which grossed 4 million yuan at the box office last month, starring none other than the signed Little Yellow Duck Zhou Dongyu.

Next month, there will be a romance film adapted from Yang Xiao’s book “The Ferryman”.

It can be said that over the past six months, the subject of discussion in the entire film and television industry has been the company Wanhe Tianyi.

Short videos, animation, and movies are all booming!
Yang Xiao's name has been mentioned countless times in the industry.

Because he also has a company called [Time Culture Media], which is full of popular singers!
The most important thing is that even the production company behind the most popular music variety show "The Voice of China" this summer is actually related to Yang Xiao.

In the eyes of anyone with a discerning eye, these are all sending a signal.

That is, Yang Xiao currently has already gained some say in the entertainment industry!

Horror!
"By the way, Mr. Yang, someone named Hong Tao from Mango TV called me yesterday and asked me to sell the domestic copyright of I Am a Singer to them? Is that true?"

Bai Zhongchun suddenly thought of something at this time and asked.

"Did Hong Tao contact you? That's true." Yang Xiao nodded. After the box office revenue from the youth campus movies in the past few months came in, the company had sufficient cash flow, so Yang Xiao sent someone to Korea to negotiate.

He bought the copyrights of variety shows such as "I Am a Singer", "King of Masked Singer", "Running Man", and "Go Fighting".

"The Voice of China" has already aired its third episode, and all TV stations have been overshadowed by this music variety show.

Mango TV was naturally as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

As one of the most popular TV stations with the highest ratings, how could they tolerate Zhejiang Satellite TV stealing their traffic and limelight?
We immediately asked someone to go abroad to buy the copyrights of other variety shows, hoping to win back this traffic later.

As a result, they had just watched a program called "I Am a Singer" and were about to negotiate when they were told that it had been bought by Wanhe Tianyi, a domestic company.

So not long ago, Mr. He Jiong called Yang Xiao and told him that their station wanted to cooperate with Wanhe Tianyi.

Although He Jiong and Yang Xiao have never met officially, they had some friendship on Weibo before.

In addition, Yang Xiao had met Xie Na once before at Weibo Night, and he couldn't refuse the offer, so he gave him the contact information of Bai Zhongchun, who was in charge of the matter.

Unexpectedly, Hong Tao came to my door directly.

Yang Xiao holds the copyrights in his hands, which is originally a half-selling and half-participating method.

This way he can make money on both ends.

At that time, He Jiong also took the opportunity to invite Yang Xiao on the phone, asking him if he had time. He planned to do an episode on the theme of "Celebrity Entrepreneur" for him and invited him to be a guest on "Happy Camp".

Including "Day Day Up".

Both programs are willing to make time for Yang Xiao.

Nowadays, whether it is celebrities, entrepreneurs, investors, etc., they all like to appear on shows to show off.

There are even some popular job-hunting variety shows such as "Job Hunting" and "Only Hard Work Can Win".

Li Xiang, Liu Tong (author of "Whose Youth Is Not Confused") and others have also participated.

Including a few years ago, there was an entrepreneurial program produced by CCTV called "Win in China".

So it was not surprising that they invited Yang Xiao.

However, Yang Xiao rejected the invitation because he was too popular and his popularity on the Internet was no less than that of some second-tier stars.

The number of comments on each of his Weibo posts easily exceeds 10,000 within two hours.

Another point is that his previous Weibo account had many attributes of a marketing account.

Now it has become a matrix account operated by Shiguang Culture Media.

Except for some advertisements posted by his staff on his own account, he can post whatever he wants at other times.

In other words, you can scold anyone you want.

It's like letting myself go.

Of course, this is also extremely true, and many fans like to read some of Yang Xiao’s jokes and even sharp comments.

It was the third day after the celebration banquet.

Yang Xiao also received an invitation from Chen Rui.

"Boss Yang, our bosses Lei and Lin have booked a place. Please come over and have a chat."

Chen Rui arranged a private dinner, attended by Junzi, the largest individual shareholder of Xiaomi Group, and Lin Bin, the second largest individual shareholder.

Speaking of Lin Bin, after the listing, he once sold a lot of Xiaomi's shares and cashed out many small goals from it.

At that time, investors criticized it.

Yang Xiao did not attend the banquet alone this time. He invited Xie Guomin and Fan Jun to be his dinner partners.

They are all from the Internet circle and are all from Beijing. Xie Guomin and they are old friends, and Fan Jun has also met them several times, so they are not strangers to each other.

After several introductions, everyone became familiar with it.

"Boss Lei, I've heard a lot about you."

"Boss Yang, your name has been well known to us for more than a year."

Junzi was very talkative. When he met Yang Xiao for the first time, besides being surprised, he also wanted to make friends with him.

Lin Bin also joked, "Yeah, Mr. Yang, you are too young. We old guys sitting here seem a bit out of place."

Xie Guomin made a joke at this time: "Do you know why Mr. Yang came to visit Mr. Lei this time?"

Junzi, Lin Bin and Chen Rui immediately became serious and waited for Xie Guomin's next words.

"Before Mr. Yang came here, he told me that he wanted to learn from Mr. Lei and ask him how he was able to complete four years of university courses in two years. He wanted to learn from you!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Boss Yang, you misunderstood. I have to help Boss Lei dispel a rumor. He didn't complete all the courses. He just got enough credits to graduate successfully."

"Hahaha, don't listen to Mr. Xie's nonsense. The main purpose of my coming here is to learn about Mr. Lei's investment philosophy and company management. In addition, I also admire Mr. Lei very much as a person."

With Chen Rui, Xie Guomin and others leading the topic, the dinner did not seem awkward and Yang Xiao quickly joined in.

When Yang Xiao came this time, he really had no intention of cooperating with Xiaomi.

Just to get to know Junzi.

During the chat, Junzi suddenly asked Yang Xiao a question:
"Boss Yang, I heard that your WIFI Master Key is going to open up an e-commerce channel?"

"Haha, I have this idea, but I haven't decided on e-commerce yet. These are all rumors. Mr. Lei, your mobile phone industry is stable and has great development prospects."

Yang Xiao explained with a smile that he had leaked the news on purpose.

One is to increase the market value of WIFI Master Key, and the other is to make some people in the industry panic.

For example, Alibaba has approached Yang Xiao several times, hoping to use the WIFI Master Key channel, and even once expressed its intention to acquire the company.

But it’s not just Alibaba that wants to acquire WIFI Master Key.

Tencent is also eyeing the market covetously.

Yang Xiao just left them alone, like he was walking a dog.

Junzi sighed at this moment for some reason, seemingly from the bottom of his heart:
"Tsk tsk, your product is incredible. You still make money from software."

"Mr. Lei, you are already a veteran in the Internet industry. Why do you have to say all this? Software developers rely on the traffic of the hottest areas. You may be born today but die tomorrow. So I admire you for being willing to delve into the real industry."

Upon hearing this, Junzi nodded, agreeing with this statement.

His Kingsoft missed the best opportunity to go public and dragged it on for nearly 20 years, resulting in huge losses!

In Kingsoft Software, he was actually the one who missed the opportunity!

"Alas, those who sell mobile phones earn their money through hard work, not to mention that [Xiaomi] is not making any money at all right now."

"So I admire you even more, Mr. Lei. You are the only one who deserves the title of Price Butcher, and you are doing great things that benefit the country and the people."

"I can't bear such praise from you, Mr. Yang. I am ashamed."

As they drank and toasted, several people began to praise each other in business.

Along the way, Yang Xiao even expressed some of his own insights as a "veteran".

For example, words like "the importance of product supply chain" and "learning from Apple in building a mobile phone ecosystem" attracted Lei Jun's frequent attention, and he even took advantage of the alcohol to treat Yang Xiao as a close friend regardless of age difference.

"Mr. Yang, your vision is really to my liking. It's better to meet in person than to hear about it. I am convinced today. The market potential of your WIFI Master Key is immeasurable in the future!"

At the end, Xie Guomin seemed to have realized something and started to join in the fun.

"Boss Lei, you are also an investor. Since you are so optimistic about Boss Yang's business, why don't you take this opportunity today and let me take the lead. Wouldn't it be a good thing for both of you to exchange your respective equity for cooperation?"
