Chapter 312: One careless mistake led to Guo Xiao's failure

Time flies.

Yang Xiao's sophomore year passed quickly.

He felt somewhat fortunate that he did not fail the final exam.

The main thing is that he rarely goes out, and basically goes back and forth between school, company and home.

Since this semester, most of his shareholding companies have been handed over to important partners to manage, and he only needs to focus on the general direction.

Shenzhen City was originally Yang Xiao’s base camp.

[Easy Internet Technology] This side is developing quietly and methodically, releasing some shocking news from time to time.

For example, "enter e-commerce", "open social dynamic circle of friends", "open group buying window", etc.

Constantly releasing some eye-catching hype news to drive up its value.

Other giants also smelled the scent, and after 360 started to follow suit, Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent also joined in.

Including Xiaomi, all companies originally had the idea of ​​providing free WIFI.

However, after Yang Xiao and Junzi exchanged equity, Xiaomi acquired 20% of the shares of [Qingsong Internet Technology] and reached a strategic cooperation, and the strategy of free WIFI was abandoned.

Moreover, WIFI Master Key has become an application software that comes with Xiaomi mobile phones when they leave the factory.

Alibaba has launched [Tao WIFI] and Tencent has launched [WIFI Alliance]. Free WIFIs are popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, making it difficult to keep up.

Whenever users search for the keyword "WIFI" in the application market, dozens of related free WIFI software will pop up at once!

It can be said that the giant companies that have entered the free WIFI market are basically all ready.

Moreover, these giant capitals had actually sent people to contact Yang Xiao first, offering various high prices and expressing their desire to raise funds, acquire shares, and make plans for the future.

But unfortunately, Yang Xiao hasn't responded yet.

After being rejected by Yang Xiao, they each started to join the game.

There is no way. Behind the free WIFI is an O2O market worth trillions of dollars.

More precisely.

It is the key to the final victory in the O2O market!

Because traffic is too expensive, someone has done market research among users who have installed free WIFI.

For 55% of users, the first APP they open on their mobile phones is QQ.

For 45% of users, the first thing they do is connect to free WIFI!

How can we avoid being targeted by capital?
Moreover, as the first person to try it out, Yang Xiao still has a market share of up to 70%, far ahead of others even though major investors have entered the market.

The foreign market is even more terrifying, Yang Xiao directly owns 99% of the market share.

Of course, the current international market is only in Southeast Asia. This thing is so good, it is definitely good news for poor guys.

Why can Yang Xiao maintain such a high market share when so much capital is withdrawing from the market?

Due to their early entry into the market and the uncertain market outlook, they did not rush in and encircle Yang Xiao.

Of course, there is another reason - that is, the encirclement and suppression cannot be carried out.

Because, while everyone was burning money, Yang Xiao was burning more ruthlessly than them!

【WIFI Master Key】 brought in nearly 30 billion in advertising benefits last year!

Yang Xiao invested almost all of it!

Who is afraid of who?

To outsiders, Yang Xiao's crazy behavior seems to be a preparation for the future listing of his two companies, [Shihuituan] and [Shihuituan].

However, only Yang Xiao knew that he had tried his best to make this "cake" bigger in order to use it as a good bargaining chip in the future.

Whether it is sold or not, it will definitely be expensive.

Today, Yang Xiao holds 65% of the shares of [Qingsong Technology].

The second largest shareholder is Junzi with 20%, followed by Liu Yong and Xie Guomin, as well as Huang Zhengfei's team and other technical personnel, each with a small 5%. Yang Xiao does not need to worry about anything else except cooperating with WIFI Master Key to hype and promote it.

In addition, Shiguan Culture Media is developing in full swing.

In the past six months, [Shiguang Culture Media] and [Wanhe Tianyi] have also been undergoing integration.

The former is mainly responsible for the contracts of music, film and television artists, and is gradually transforming into an agency.

Of course, we are also developing our own media business at the same time.

This is the future development direction of [Shiguang Culture Media].

The latter, on the other hand, focuses on film and television production.

In addition, Wanhe Tianyi also established a branch in Shenzhen, which mainly produces large quantities of online comedy short dramas and provides some training for amateurs. Yang Xiao is laying the foundation for future live short videos.

"Mr. Yang, the box office data of Tiny Times as of July has come out, and it's only 7 million yuan so far."

"Oh? It's only that low? From this perspective, the entire summer season may only take in 300 million."

Yang Xiao is currently staying in the Shenzhen company of Wanhe Tianyi. He just curiously asked about the work data of this rising star in the literary and art world.

"Well, 3 million should be his limit. It's hard to say whether he can even reach it."

Bai Zhongchun, who was transferred from Yanjing to be the general manager of the Shenzhen branch and was sitting next to him, smiled and continued:

“But I can only say that this data is too normal.

From last year to this year, how many youth films has our [Wanhe Tianyi] participated in producing?

Including the New Year's Eve release of "The Ferryman", the box office was only 900 million, not even exceeding last year's "My Lucky Star". "

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Can a comedy movie be compared to a romance movie?"

Bai Zhongchun shook his head: "It's not just because of this. The Ferryman was able to earn 900 million, and there was also your personal brand advertising bonus, a lot of it was for you, and the promotion fee during the Spring Festival was also not small.

I think the main reason is that we have oversaturated the market and the audience is a little tired of it now.”

"Well, your analysis does make sense. So, the current youth film genre seems to be a trap? Is Guo Xiaosi one of the people who fell into the trap?"

Yang Xiao didn't expect the situation to be like this now.

You know, "Tiny Times" was a big hit in the past, but now it is lukewarm.

Although the box office is expected to be around 4.84 million, this result is generally good, but compared with the million in the previous life, it is almost two-thirds less!

You know, with a cast full of big-name actors like Yang Mi and Ke, the pay for this movie must have accounted for the bulk of the expenses.

Moreover, the producers are from Taiwan, and with all the publicity and promotion costs, it is estimated that there is not much profit to be made.

At least what is certain is that it did not meet Guo Xiaosi's expectations!
Well, this situation is pretty good.

"Isn't it? This subject matter is not popular anymore. Anyway, most of the scripts we have are finished and the frequency of production has also decreased. Let them do it."

Bai Zhongchun was also happy. He had handled these businesses before, so he knew them very well. "Besides, our main direction in the future will not be here. There will be no problem if we follow your instructions."

Yang Xiao smiled slightly when he heard Bai Zhongchun's flattery.

He knew what Bai Zhongchun meant. Now that Wanhe Tianyi had reaped the benefits of youth films, it had turned to operating big IPs.

The large-scale IPs that Yang Xiao had previously purchased, such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", "Fights Break Sphere", "Nirvana in Fire", etc., are now being adapted into film and television in an orderly manner.

Movies, TV series and animation, he is successful in all fields!
The current film and television industry is a place with huge profits and a booming market.

Xiaoyanzi, Bingbing and others actually successfully transformed into capital around this time period.

Now is the golden age, which is comparable to "picking up money from a sack"!
Needless to say, Yang Xiao has accumulated various IPs which are constantly appreciating in value, and he operates them personally, so it is impossible for him to lose money!
If other people are "picking up money from sacks", then he is "loading money from trucks"!
Yang Xiao estimates that starting from this year, he will be able to earn at least 3 billion yuan every year!
And it will continue to go higher!

Because the market is getting bigger and bigger!

It can be said that the film and television market will be a definite cash cow for him in the next few years!
Suddenly, Yang Xiao thought of something and asked Bai Zhongchun:

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Bai, how is the copyright issue of The Three-Body Problem going?"
