Entertainment Empire System

Ye Ming frowned and said: "Director Wang, when you talk about me like that, I suspect that you are Brother Ba. You are simply called Brother Ba in life. What you say is always cloudy, as if I must be..." It’s like bad luck.”

Although Ye Ming said he was not convinced by Director Wang and was still deliberately joking here, in fact, he was already making nervous calculations in his heart.

Director Wang is someone he cannot see through. This person is simply like Brother Ba in the game. His words always bring him some unexpected results.

After returning from Director Wang's home, Ye Ming returned to the company and arranged a series of jobs, including Super Girl's job, because Super Girl is an idol group.

Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the exposure of Super Girl. Announcements for fan meetings, concerts, commercial performances, variety shows, etc. should be received as much as possible. The purpose is to maintain Super Girl's super high profile. Popularity.

Originally, some work like this made Chunchun, Bibi, He Dabao and others say it was very hard, and a few people also had small complaints.

But Ye Ming called them over and said, "Do you think your popularity is already very high? Do you think you can relax in a place like this?"

Chunchun and the others didn't speak, but their expressions betrayed them. After all, Super Girl's popularity was obvious to all.

At this time, Ye Ming sighed and said: "I know you are unconvinced and think that your popularity is much higher than that of Dao Lang, but why doesn't Dao Lang go around to participate in performances, meet and greets, or even say Daolang has very few variety shows.

In fact, it's because your positioning is different. Daolang is positioned as a capable singer and singer-songwriter, but you are positioned as an idol singer.

Daolang's positioning ensures that if there is no major accident, he will be popular for ten or eight years without any problem. But you are an idol group, and you are an idol group based on the reputation of Supergirl. Do you know how long your popularity will last? "

At this time, Chunchun Bibi and others looked at each other, a little confused. How long will their popularity last?

He Dabao hesitated for a moment and then said carelessly: "Based on Super Girl's current popularity, under such circumstances, if you say our popularity can last three to five years, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Huanzhugege's influence has lasted for more than five years. After Zhao Wei's military flag uniform incident, Huanzhugege's influence gradually weakened. Even if our Super Girl's influence is worse than that of Princess Huanzhu, it's not too much, right? "

These words almost express what Supergirl is saying now. Supergirl is a hit, a real hit. It is a phenomenal variety show with such influence that even Mango Channel itself did not expect it.

But Ye Ming said with great certainty: "It's impossible. Huanzhugege's influence is different from your influence. It's true that you all became a phenomenon-level influence in the end, especially if you are the first A super girl is even more powerful.

But don't forget it. You are a variety show, and Super Girl is so popular. Do you think our company and Mango Channel will continue to host Super Girl next year? "

This question made Chunchun and others a little dumbfounded. They finally said they realized what it was like to ask such a question.

Ye Ming said earnestly at this time: "That's right, the time your influence can maintain its highest level is actually only one year, because next year there will definitely be a second Super Girl born.

Variety shows are like this. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old ones. Whether you admit it or not, the second Supergirl next year will definitely be even more hyped. By then, Supergirl will not only mean You guys.

Therefore, you seniors must try your best to defend your status during this year and make your influence in the entertainment industry more stable. Otherwise, after the second Super Girl comes out next year, you seniors What should I do? Do you want to eat it cold?

Therefore, it’s okay to work hard now, but next year, it won’t be possible to work as hard as you want.

Girls, don’t hesitate and work hard, right? Don't compete with Sword Wolf, you have to compete with next year's Supergirl. "

After arranging things in the company, Ye Ming suddenly received a call from James, and James brought bad news to Ye Ming.

James arrived in China in person and had already arrived at the airport and was about to arrive at the hotel.

This matter, for Ye Ming, was definitely an accident.

Moreover, James had already told Ye Ming something very seriously, hoping that he could meet him at the hotel.

Ye Ming was also very surprised at this time. If James didn't go to fight for the family property with his sister, why would he come here?

Could it be that News Corporation is preparing to flex its muscles in the mainland?

It's almost impossible, it's a beautiful thought. The bottom line is that News Corporation can extend its tentacles to Hong Kong.

In the presidential suite of the Capital Hotel, Ye Ming said after seeing James: "This is a bit strange. You actually came here in person. Don't tell me that you want to develop business in the mainland. Today is not April 1st."

James shrugged and said: "Ye, of course, today is not April Fool's Day. I came here in person this time. In fact, it has two purposes. One is to set up an office in Beijing and choose an address. The other is In fact, it is a relatively personal matter that has something to do with you.

Because I got an inside message, well, I think if I talked to you on the phone, it might be eavesdropped. Therefore, in this case, it was just a matter of just having a manager come over. , but in the end I came over in person.

I just want to talk to you face to face. "

James' tone sounded a little cautious. Ye Ming had never seen James speak in such a cautious tone before.

Therefore, he also said very seriously: "The confidential things that you can talk about are definitely not trivial matters. Let's talk about it. Could it be that the guys on Wall Street are thinking about the Brilliant Internet Cafe?"

It is conceivable how profitable Huihuang.com is. Therefore, the capital of Huihuang.com is definitely not owned by one or two companies.

Regarding such a question, Ye Ming felt that he was not surprised at all.

James nodded and said: "Absolutely? But it is definitely not Wall Street capital that values ​​​​Huihuang.com. Now the Wall Street capital investing in Huihuang.com is not just one family or two. We are all in the same boat. If you want to deal with Huihuang.com, it is also It depends on whether the people on the board of directors are willing to agree.

In fact, it is not capital, but the White House that wants to take action against Huihuang.com. You should be aware of the 2,000-year-old antitrust lawsuit between the White House and Microsoft, right? "

It was actually the White House of the United States, which surprised Ye Ming very much.

Moreover, there is a lawsuit between the White House and Microsoft. Although this matter was ostensibly initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice, someone from the White House must have given the order behind the scenes, otherwise this result would not have been possible.

In fact, it's just that the Clinton administration doesn't like Microsoft.

At first, Microsoft was almost split into two companies. However, with the coming of the Bush administration, the lawsuit took a turn for the worse. In the end, the White House apparently reached a settlement with Microsoft and determined that Microsoft had a monopoly. However, in the end, it did not need to be split. Microsoft imposed a very strict rule, and Microsoft finally took a step back and admitted its failure and implemented this rule for five years. Come to think of it, it's due this year.

Ye Ming felt a little unable to sit still at this time. This matter was not a small matter. He frowned and said, "Are you saying that at a time like this, after the White House dealt with Microsoft, it started to attack Huihuang.com? This makes me a little flattered."

James said angrily: "Are you still flattered? Do you know how many patents video websites have? Huihuang.com owns 95% of the patents. This is basically a monopoly.

Therefore, the White House actually wanted to take action against Huihuang.com early on. Being able to tolerate it until now is actually because of the support of the board of directors and the fact that you have opened some patents, which gave other websites a little bit of room to survive. The cooperation between Huihuang.com and the US government is also relatively good.

But now that Microsoft has been dealt with, it is natural to find the next target to attack. Huihuang.com is the most suitable target to attack.

I got the exact news that the White House will definitely take action against Huihuang.com. "Ye Ming is a little confused now. This matter makes him rub his hands in a hurry. Monopoly. But if you think about it carefully, Huihuang.com is indeed suspected of monopoly, and it is a very obvious monopoly. But the video technology is just that It is a small part of the Internet. In such a matter, you insist that our Huihuang.com has a monopoly. Is this unreasonable?

But there is no way. Since it is said that it has been noticed by the White House, enough evidence must have been collected on such an issue. Even a spokesman for News Corporation like James finds it difficult, which shows how serious the matter is.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "The news you got, what kind of measures will the White House take? Can't you say that the brilliant Internet cafe will be split? This makes no sense."

James immediately made it clear: "This will not happen, but the White House will first host Huihuang.com, which means that your shares in Huihuang.com will be hosted first, and your rights as chairman will also be taken over by the board of directors." Take it back. Investigate clearly first. Only after the investigation is clear will we decide how to deal with Huihuang.com.

But no matter what the situation is, litigation is inevitable.

It would be better for you to be mentally prepared for this.

Trusteeship cannot be circumvented. Of course, your money is still your money, your company is still your company, and the people on the board of directors will keep an eye on those politicians and will not let them do whatever they want.

It is a professional management company hired from Wall Street. But it will be more difficult for you to take charge of Huihuang.com again in a short period of time. "

This news is a very big blow to Ye Ming. It is earth-shattering. This is simply earth-shattering news.

Huihuang.com is actually going to be hosted?

Ye Ming immediately realized that there was a problem and said: "Internet companies must have broken through the technical difficulties and at least found other alternative technologies to support video websites. Otherwise, even if the people in the White House want to take action, they have to weigh it. market influence.”

James glanced at Ye Ming curiously, not expecting that Ye Ming could think of the outcome of the matter after hearing these words. Although the matter was not exactly what Ye Ming thought, the outcome was actually similar.

At that moment, James nodded and said, "Absolutely? Huihuang.com has such a huge influence. If other companies hadn't made such a breakthrough in technology, no one would dare to attack your company casually. There must be some Enterprises from allied countries have made promises to technically support video websites. Of course, they must have borrowed technology patents from Huihuang.com, but who made them be American companies?

There is not so much absolute fairness in this world, right? "There is nothing wrong with this, and Ye Ming has nothing to say. Nothing in this world is absolutely fair, and Ye Ming must admit this.

At that moment, Ye Ming nodded and said: "We will find the best lawyers to litigate the lawsuit, but the White House will definitely delay the time. They are preparing to allow relevant Internet companies in the United States to make real breakthroughs in technology. They want to give Have American video companies bought enough time?”

James nodded and said with great certainty: "That's right, it must be like this. Antitrust laws are equally applicable to any large company. Anyway, if they want to punish you, then use them." This is absolutely correct.

As for the results, the White House does not care about the results. What they want is the process, and what they want is to delay the relevant Internet companies in the United States and prevent Huihuang.com from becoming the dominant one. This is the result the White House hopes to see. of. "

For Ye Ming, things were actually very bad, and this incident caught him a little off guard, but if you think about it, it was inevitable. After taking care of Microsoft, and then other big companies, this was like the White House. Established strategy.

What's more, Huihuang.com is not a purely American company. It would be strange not to clean up Huihuang.com at this time.

And Ye Ming is also very sure that once this news is announced, the impact will definitely be huge. Not only will the entertainment industry be shocked, but the Internet circle will also be shocked.
